ELEGANT PERCENTAGE PRELOADER

Sorry for my delayed reply I had some problems myself ( not Flash problems ). So, the preloader was designed to be used outside any other container, don’t try to nest it ( I mean, don’t drag it into a container, but leave it directly on the stage ). You are getting that #2025 error because for a strange reason the code isn’t finding the preloader_mc once it tries to removes it ( at the load complete ). This can be caused by quite a few reasons but my guess is that you have it nested and that’s why it’s not working.

By the way, yes, by “it” I meant: the preloader_mc. Just drag and drop the preloader_mc onto the stage and not into another movie clip. And don’t forget that you need the other movies clips that come with it too, otherwise it won’t work.

If you guys can’t make it work then try dropping me an e-mail with the file that you are working on so I can take a look at it and fix it. But I’m quite sure that if you copy all the movie clips from the original file and simply drag and drop the preloader_mc onto the stage ( and NOT into any other movie clip or graphic or whatsoever ) then it will work.

I forgot to leave the e-mail… You guys can send the files to the following e-mail address: birobarna@wisebisoft.com

Just please don’t spam, I’ll try to answer the e-mails as soon as can but please send an e-mail ONLY if you really tried every approach and still couldn’t make it work.

Thanks for buying and your interest.

@ mark: that is because you built your movie wrong… You have too much code exported to Frame 1 and/or you have tons of graphics on the first frame. It’s a common mistake from beginners and I’m sorry to say but there’s nothing I can do about that… You have to rethink the whole thing and organize stuff better. I’ve tested the preloader before uploading it, so I’m confident it’s not the preloader but you are doing something wrong.

Regarding external FLV files: No… The preloader takes in count only the size of the .swf everything you load externally, you’ll need to handle separately.

PS: You said it shows 0% and then suddenly 100%, are you testing the movie inside flash ? Because if you are testing it locally without having the Simulate Download property enabled then you’ll always see it do that… you must upload it to the internet to test if it loads correctly… or enabled Simulate Downloading inside Flash and press CTRL ENTER 2 times.

Good luck.
