preload_user.fla error

hi,

i’m trying to complete the tutorial on “Preloader that Displays Load Progress” @ http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader.htm as instructed in step 1 … after downloading “preload_user.fla” i get; unexpected file format …
can anyone tell me what’s wrong with the file?

thanks,
john

Because its a MX file.

does anyone have a “preload display” tutorial for flash 5?

thanks;
john

Follow the tutorial from scratch, it should work.

5

can’t do that … the tutorial requires that file … there is no explanation how to do it from scratch.

6

Create a new document and place some image to be preloaded in the first frame.
Now click that frame and place a stop action:

stop();

Start the tutorial from here.
