NOTE: This was posted in the CS3 area, but I felt maybe it was more related to AS 3.0 than CS3. Sorry for the double post.
For a while now I have been creating preloaders by setting up one SWF to load in another SWF. The first SWF is just a container basically, and it displays a preloader based on the PROGRESS event of loading in this other SWF. The 2nd SWF is actually the website.
I was wondering, is this the most common way to create preloaders, or do most people load MC’s from the library and show that progress? Or something else?
I’m just curious how the typical developer handles this operation - I know its common but I don’t really like the way I’ve been doing it and I don’t know any other developers to compare with.
Thanks.
