Create preloader in FlashMX
Added on:- February/15/2005 by admin
In this tutorial you will learn how to create a preloader that will return a percentage. This percentage can then be used for things such as a preloader bar. Preloaders that work out percentages are important because they give the users of your site feedback of how much of your flash content is loaded. For this tutorial I expect you to have a basic knowledge of flash and can navigate around freely within the flash interface. I also expect you to have a basic actionscripting knowledge and be able to understand the basic scripts in this tutorial. This tutorial has been writen for use in Flash MX, it takes advantage of some of the added features including text box instance names. If you don't have mx, remember to use the textVariable property instead of the instance name.
