FOR ALL YOU PRELOADER DUMMYS
:X

SIMPLE STEPS TO DOING A PRELOADER(abit diff frm chen's)

1.Create a BAR (shown below)


2. Seperate the outline from the fill into diff layers (shown below)
3. CONVERT the BAR into a movieclip symbol.
4. NAme the BAR instance name as: myBAR
5. FOR THE TEXT. USe text tool (new layer) and use dynamic text.


6. NAME THE VAR name as: myText

7 CReate a ACTIONS layer(new layer)
8. Create a key frame at frame 2
9 Put the following codes in :

myLoaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
myTotal = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
myPercent = myLoaded/myTotal;
myBar._width = myPercent*150;
myText = Math.round(myPercent*100)+"%";
if (myLoaded == myTotal) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}




YOU ARE ALMOST DONE!

10. TAKE NOTE THE CODES..

for myBar._width = myPercent*150; ( take note the number 150, it is the width of the rect, you will change the value..for example my is..
...so I will change my value to 149.9... OR...

myBar._width = myPercent*149.9)



You can also change..
if (myLoaded == myTotal) {
gotoAndPlay(3);

(the gotoAndPlay is changable ..change to the scene and frame where your animation is..)

YOU ARE DONE!!!! GO TEST YOUR MOVIE!!!!
Change to your own rect or whatever..BE CREATIVE!!..:).hope it helped..Jon did it.
