Want a percentage preloader

1

iā€™m looking for percentage preloadersā€¦my site is like 80kb and takes a while to load on 56k, i have found many flash 5 preloaders but i need a tutorial that teaches percentage preloader in flash mxā€¦ please helpā€¦sites and or links please!\r\r:smokin:

2

The percentage preloader in the ā€œbest of Kirupaā€ post called ā€œPreloader rerevisitedā€ should work fine in MX

3

those links no longer workā€¦can i see a preview of what it looks likeā€¦to see if ive done it right?\r\r:smokin:

those links would work, but Upuā€™s server is down. \r\rgo to any Flash site that has a preloader. It looks just like that. hell, go here\r\rhttp://www10.brinkster.com/jubbaorf/requiem/flashtest/test.html\r\rthats the site Iā€™m making. Click on one of the buttons and it will show you a preloader. I used pretty much the same code. and Iā€™m usin MX

itā€™s all about file size. a preloader that requires no mcā€™s or text fields is very small.\r:) \rjeremy
