You could always try downloading a premade component from Macromedia. Then you can customise the preloader however you like.

NOOO!!!

The preloader component is EVIL!!!

I am willing to bet if they download the component they will be posting a problem about their preloader on this forum. That thing is so flaky!

Ok well, I submitted a tutorial to Kirupa about this very thing yesterday, hopefully he thinks it is good enough to put on the site.

well i guess i´m stupid like hell but if i use this really genious preloader in an external loaded movie the bar appears but not percentage and kb is displayed…

Yeah, you are probably using _root.yourTextBox

If you are loading a movie you should do _parent.yourTextBox

Since _root is the _root timline, and when you load a movie the _root timeline is the _root timeline of the movie you are loading into.
