Great with tutorials but there´s a little error in the

[AS]if (bytes_loaded = = bytes_total)[/AS]

The space between the “=” should be deleted and then it´s fine :slight_smile:

Good work kO2n

Thanks guys!

I had to include the space otherwise the ‘=’ look joined up.

hmm page could not be displayed. i’d like to see a tute on making one preloader that preloads all movies, instead of having a pre for each one.

8

Ok Digital, that’ll be my next tutorial.

Viru.

Thanks Viru, And Claudio

just a thought… i wouldn’t use _root in the code, it won’t work if you’re loading an external SWF into a MovieClip. unfortunately, most people don’t know how to modify the code to suit their needs. :-\

12

That´s probobly my problem do you (kax) have any idea what I should use instead of _root.

13

you could simply remove it, or use this instead. that should do… :stuck_out_tongue:

14

That is strikingly similar to my tutorial…

lol @ lost :stuck_out_tongue:

i thought so too… :crazy:

16

Read it properly and u’ll see i have noted that its based on a kirupa tutorial. But mine goes into a bit more detail with the code explanation and i also did say about changing _root. to this. so that it will work for externally loaded swf.

Just tried to do something nice, jeez.

17

sorry… :stuck_out_tongue:

i guess you can say that any of us (mooler, lostinbeta and me) actually read the whole thing. :-\

however, i still believe that no one should use _root in a tutorial. only to prevent confusions and/or malfunctions. just my two cents… :wink:

18

I never said anything bad about it :wink: I was just saying it was strikingly similar to my tutorial. I did happen to breeze over that first paragraph where you said it was an expansion of mine though :trout: (to myself)

And as Kax said… you should use “this” in your tutorial, you would be surpised how many tons of people don’t read the tutorials but copy and paste the code and put it wherever they want to and hope it will work :stuck_out_tongue:

kO2n : I don’t think lost was jumping down your throat, he’s not here for that

Well there is still no tut on how to load swf:s into an " statick" MC in your main timeline and have a loadbar and textbox showing the progress.

Lostinbeta had a working code in this thread
http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15472

But that is if your create an empty MC and positioning that MC at your main timeline.

Any ideas of how to achieve to first sentence I´m all out of´em.
