Preloader bar

ei,
how do you do this kind of preloader wherein its not a straight line filing up a bar (a logo for this one)…but kind of a “wavey” thing slowly going up until the movie is loaded.

here

thanks :slight_smile:

ill try… thanks… :beam: but where do you think i can get a tut about that “_y” thing that would randomly wave <i think> when moving?

The waving is not achieved with the _y value, it is animated within the movieclip that changes _y. By decreasing the _y value, you make it move up, that’s all. The waving must be done inside the movieclip, and by decreasing that movieclip’s _y value and masking it, you will make it look like the waves are filling a shape :slight_smile:

Here’s an example of how it works. This is the preloader I’m going to use for my future site (not with a box though, it looks better on my logo).

I’ve made the water decrease it’s _y property that makes it look like the water is filling up the box.
