I have a client who insists his site is in flash seven for maximum compatibility with antiquated client technology. I need to find a bomb proof reusable preloader smart clip/component or preloader script that I can reuse with a progress bar and percent loaded. I have used macromedia's preloader but its bulky there has to be a favorite out there among developers.

thanks

I've got one that can be used in a normal .fla (no linkage whatsoever exported on the first frame...), a version of it used as a separate preloader only movie to preload a .swf with whatever number of linked elements, and finally a generic version, used inside one .fla (other one than the main preloader...), to preload all externally loaded in files...

PM me a mail address and a request for which version you'd like, and I'll mail it to you...

I cant figure out how to private message you.
but here is a post of an email: ndunbar#AT#montana#DOTT#edu

I need a version that I can copy into my fla to load an external swf and a sequence of other files that are linked inside of this external swf. Iif this does the job thanks a million man.

On second thought, matbe you should look into the MovieClipLoader...

Or, alternately check others here...
