I just wanted to know, i’ve seen all the preloader tutorials, and they’re basicly the same thing, making a bars \_x axis move according to the percent of the movie loaded.

I was just thinking, if you had your movie running at 25fps, and in a program like After Effects (doesn’t have to be, could be any animation that is 100frames long), can you make the preloader play along the frames 1-100 rather than the \_x axis? So as to make the animation play.

Thanks for any suggestions 😉
