An actionscript 3.0 preloader using percentage-based animation to create the loading bar. All loaded into a single movie clip that can be drag ‘n’ dropped into a Flash file.
UPDATE : The width of the preloading bar is set by the stage width. Once at 100% bytes loaded the bar will be at 100% of the stage width.

First off GREAT loader! I’m new so I have a few questions that may be too easy to even mention, but here goes…
1. Can the font for the percent be edited 2. Can the “Bytes loaded” be changed to an actual percentage? 3. Can the color be edited?

@smahalko: Yes the font can be easily changed. It’s a textfield element in Flash. The loader actually has code for either the bytes loaded or percent loaded instances (the percent is just commented out in the production file), so yes that is possible as well. Yes, the colors are assigned through some simple actionscript 3.0 using HEX values and can be edited by changing the value in the actionscript.
If you needed any further assistance with editing, please feel free to contact me through my profile page.
@diddlejuice: Thanks!

Hi!
Great Loader you’ve made here!!!
I’m modifying the script to have a 100% height and width loader, but I need to bring the bytes loaded/percent loaded instance in front of the loader, any idea how to do that?
Thanx

Hi! Me again, I’m experiencing some proprems when using your preloder: Some actionscript events in the movie loaded working when testing the movie doesn’t work when using the preloader, mainly button events like this type of code : “import caurina.transitions.*;
butt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, butt1_ROLLOVER);
function butt1_ROLLOVER(e:MouseEvent):void { Tweener.addTween(this.francais, {_frame:45, time:1, transition:”linear”}); }
butt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, butt1_ROLLOUT);
function butt1_ROLLOUT(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Tweener.addTween(this.francais, {_frame:5, time
.4, transition:”linear”});
} “
do you have any quick idea on what’s wrong? Maybe something to add to the script when using the preloader?
