Wat kind of image? Picture? A flash symbol like a square or sumthing?

You could try to make an extra movie clip called load\_mc or something alike. Then make this clip 100 frames long and sync it with the percentage it has to do onload.  
You can adjust the load\_mc and make it however you like.

you mean something like this? [http://oddin.home.ro](http://oddin.home.ro) ?  
Just make a movie out of the picture then play around with the RGB and alpha pallete in the actionscript.The second option would be to make a movie clip out of the picture and then to make more frames and change the RGB values in each frame.And as i final touch you make them play random.If you wanna do it according to how much of the movie has bein’ loaded then you will need a lot of patience and to master the if code 🙂

you already know how to grab the “loaded” value, use that value (and the fact that it is a certain distance between 0 and 100 - how convenient) to add certain amounts of R G and B into the mix.

Maybe something like this:

where “perc” is your percentage (between 0 and 100);

[AS]myClipCol = new Color(myClip);

Red = 0;  
Green = 255\*(perc/100);  
Blue = 255;

myClipCol.setRGB(Red\<\<16 | Green\<\<8 | Blue);[/AS]

That will fade your clip from blue to aqua blue as loader goes from 0 to 100.

-not tested-

tested - it works.

(though you’ll note I faked the “perc” value - works the same)
