Hi,  
i wish to make a preloader which is an image filling in from the bottom up.

I have seent this cool effect, but can’t find any tutorial on it.

I can make it easily by creating a MC and adding preloader script [i found the tutorial for that] but it just loops.

I would like it to be like a bar-loader, except the image fills in [corresponding to how much has been loaded]

For demonstration’s sake, i have added the image i wish to use 🙂

Thank you C:-)

I’ve just finished… it doesn’t work that great because the actual content is quite small. It uses mask layers. If you have any problems just ask me.

Dude thanks a whole bunch for the help!

Problem is, when i view it, it just shows a black box expanding. When you say it doesn’t work well cos the content is small, i think that can be solved by just stciking a huge mp3 file in there to test right??

Unless you meant something else :q:
