Hey all,

i’m trying to make a preloader with the bar animating an upwords fill. For example you have a graphic and its white and when the preloader loads it fills it with colour (orange) from bottom to top…how would i go about doing this??

the preloader works so the code is fine i think…its just this animation thing  
any help would be greatfull!! :hugegrin:

Thanks in advance!

Use a masked movieclip over the top of your image, then just decrease its yscale value.
