ok ill try I take it u did the tutorial that sum1 posted so u have the code in the first frame yeah if framesloaded and all that well open a new fla document and make a animation for your loading screen i.e Something saying loading and dots after or wotever i usually have a ball orbiting a loading sign or summet then once u have made the movie doesnt need to be spectacular imprt it into your main movie make sure u import it to the libary then in the frame the code is in Drag the movie u imported onto the stage that should in theory work it works for me but i am relatively new it prob depends how your movie is set up if it doesnt work post again -Tom ---

well if u understand the scripting behind it you should be able to do what ever you want with it. a preloader can be created really easily…and then using a percentage that you’ve got you can just set the \_xscale or \_Yscale of an object to that percent. since the x and y scale are out of one hundred…with this you can make the bar ur maxium size and when it loads it will reach 100% at that… 🙂
