Hi guys,
Well, I’ve tried various ways to code a preloader without using the MX2004 components (actually I used them first but found, as all do, that the extra 30K sucks! -and yes, I went through Eyezberg’s’ thread above, didn’t help my situation.). I did a google “flash preloader” search, went through all those. FlashKit tutes. Kirupa Tutes. Etc…
I CAN make a preloader that preloads the main swf and I can do it in a couple of ways thanks to all the tutes (using either loadMovie or the new MovieClipLoader class). BUT, I CAN’T get any of them to work with an on(release) for an externally loaded swf.
Eg:
1-Main movie loads.
2-Buttons appear.
3-User clicks on a button.
4-Main movie goes to server to retrieve another movie and places it into an empty mc within the main movie while displaying a progress bar showing progress of loading movie.
5-Loading movie arrives complete and progress bar disappears.
What I’ve been trying to do is modify this preloader:

Here’s my fla if anyone can help.
Click on the “mission” button and you’ll notice that the attached swf does load but even “simulating download” doesn’t produce the progress bar.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
