Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to help teach me out to do this. I want to make a preloader for loading in external files.
I came across a few tutorials but they are all using components. I want to do the same just with my own loader graphics. I very new to this so I'm sure any of your suggestions may help.
I'm working with Flash8 AS2 I guess.
I see that there are alot of function descriptions in the help files but if I don't know what function to look for then how can I find it. I tried writing some code before hand just doing that very thing.. looking through the helpfiles trying to find functions. But I never got close to retrieving my desired result. All I need it to do is run the preloader animation then switch back and forth between two scenes in the preloader animation. And show the percentage loaded. The percent loaded I want to be of the external file that is loading in. That way I don't have to make such huge flash files. Then once loaded gotoAndPlay the loaded content.
huge thanx for anyhelp,
