Okay, to first get an idea of what i want…
go to http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm
i followed this tutorial fine…its all good, i even made the profile, gallery, photos.swf to load from a completely different site. Its all good. Not my problem now is. I want to create a visual preloader for this thing. As you can see. As the movie is preloading each separte swf the animation for the loading screen doesn’t tell much. I need the users to see exactly how far their download has gone. How can i do this, from this tutorial given? I tried adding the preloader given here
(http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader.htm)
obviously it doesn’t work…It will only preload the default profile swf. But when i click on gallery, it doesn’t show the preloading progess. i tried changing the code a bit to maybe make it work but i failed. Anywayz, here is my code for the preloader. Its just the movie clip in frame one, of the stage, on a separate “preloader” layer.
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var bytes = _root.section.getBytesTotal();
var bytes_loaded = _root.section.getBytesLoaded();
if (bytes_loaded == bytes)
{
this.kirupatxt = “movie loaded”;
}
else
{
this.kirupatxt = “loading (” + bytes_loaded + “/” + bytes +")";
}
}
I highly recommend you all take a look at both links and go through them. Then you will know what I am talking about.
if you really need my fla, just ask me, i’ll include it in the next post :kir:
