Ahhh… today is a happy day for me. I’m surely no Voets, Seno, or scotty… but I did do something that I would consider good :hugegrin: And I get to start a thread in Source/Experiments… I feel special.
Somone had asked me a question about my preloader on one of my sites and I figured I’d knock out to birds w/ one stone:
Well techincally my preloader doesn’t ease at all. It just functions exactly how it should. The reason the Kirupa preloader is choppy is because it bounces between frames… causing it to lag up a little (at least that’s my theory). I didn’t do the 100 frame animation trick… I didn’t even know such a thing existed. However, I did see the AS.org “easing” preloader… and yes I too was frustrated at not being able to use it in FMX04. So instead of bothering one of the AS guru’s I took about 1hr out of my day and figured this out. Essentially all I did was take the Kirupa preloader, and the AS.org preloader and sorta… mix them together.
The coding was rather simple. It had to be as I’m an AS newb :lol:. When I see code I can break it down and decipher it… but I can’t do things from scratch.
I’m surprised that there hasn’t been a solution posted prior to this… if there has I couldn’t find it.

Hopefully there aren’t many questions because I prolly can’t answer them :P.
j/k ask away
