Preloader Problem

1

I’ve never made a preloader before, so I don’t know much about them. [This ] is the tutorial I went to, and I followed the directions and it didn’t work. The animation was like 340 frames and nothing came up. I pasted the code right and followed the next steps but it didn’t work. Anyone know whatsup?

ok in the preloader scene

make a bar then drag it in the main stage, name it in the instance as bar

now the action

in the layer action go to frame 2 and add this code

if (_root.getBytesLoaded() != _root.getBytesTotal()) {
    gotoAndPlay (1);
}
setProperty ("bar", _xscale, (_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
per = (_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100;

hope it will help you

Aight, the preloader scene? So I’m going to have a minimum of 2 scenes? One of the preloader and the rest for the animations?

And what do you mean make a bar and drag it to the main stage? And name it in the instance? Hmm… Can you kinda put them in like beginners terms and kinda explain a little more? I appreciate it.

That didn’t really help much because I don’t know how it works or anything. I don’t know how I can make it load anything…

Do you know of any good tutorials? Or anything that can show me what the things in the .fla actually do?
