Worded preloader

1

hello all, its been some time since i last checked these forums cause i have been kinda bussy, so how is everyone.

i would of liked to posted a nice message just saying that but i have a preloader problem. please dont all kill yourselfs at once, because this is a tricky (for me anyway) problem.

i have a normal preloader that works fine. it goes in numbers eg, 1% 50% and so on if you know what i mean, but i would like the preloader to be in normal words eg, one, twenty, ninty nine.

so if anyone has a concept of what i am rambling about can they please please, try and help me. thanks.

Leave the first frame of your movie empty (all your content should start on hte second frame).
Now place a textfield with the instance name percentage on the first frame and apply this code also on the first frame:

p_array = ["one", "two", "three",...,"ninety nine","one hundred"];
onEnterFrame = function () {
	var t = getBytesTotal();
	var l = getBytesLoaded();
	percentage.text = p_array[Math.round(l/t*100)];
	if (l == t) {
		gotoAndStop(2);
	}
};
stop();

I have seen this done before and have always known that it was done with an array, but does an array automatically read numbers 1 - 100 in verbal state?

PS. I tried your code claudio, and there are errors within the array, stating that the “…” must be followed by an operand.

4

did you type out all the numbers?..I think claudio meant for you to type out all the numbers, not use “…” in there

hehe

I don’t think I’m up for that, not for my own personal use anyways.

onEnterFrame = function () {
var t = getBytesTotal();
var l = getBytesLoaded();
percentage.text = p_array[Math.round(l/t*100)];
if (l == t) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
};
stop();
please explain it again ?

Holy crap, I cab’t believe you typed that all out.
