How Can I Make A Second Preloader Play If A File Is In The 1st Preloader?
OK I'm going to try to explain this

I have a preloader on my main movie to preload external files. This preloader preloads the external files and places them into a empty movie clip.

What I would like to do is have 2 preloaders if the 1st preloader was used, I would like the second preloader to be used there on after.

I'll try to explain what is happening I have 3 buttons to load 3 external files on a blank MC if a external file is present on the MC I what to use a second preloader. I need to use a second preloader because the first preloader is a progress bar that goes across the whole MC. If a external file is on the main I want to use a smaller progress bar.

If you have any suggestions I would appreciate your help

Thanks

Help How Can I Make A Preloader Bar With This Preloader Code?
Hi,

I have external swf's loading into an empty movie clip, I'm using this preloader at the first frame of every external swf.

Code:
stop();
function waitForLoad() {
bytesLoaded = this.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal = this.getBytesTotal();
percent = Math.floor(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal * 100);

if (bytesLoaded == bytesTotal && bytesTotal > 4) {
trace("done loading");
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.gotoAndPlay("fr1");
}
}
this.onEnterFrame = waitForLoad;

I don't have a clue how to make a bar show the loading progress. Is there an easy way I can implement it into this preloader code?

How Can I Make A Preloader Like This?
Hi

I need my movie to stop and wait until several external SWF's are completely loaded before continuing.

for example...

My site is structered in this manner. I have a main flash file that is my background. The other sections are broken up into several swf's.

i have a main preloader for the background file. But i have other files that i would like to load

Actually i guess my question should be how can i make a preloader that loads multiple external swf's before continuing? And checks to see if they are all loaded before continuing?

thanks!

Can Somebody Make Me A Preloader?
Well if you can do this...I'd be really grateful and if you ever needed help from me with something I know a lot about flash, but I just can't seem to make a preloader. Oh and in my credits of every movie I make with the preloader, I will put your name at the top of the credits saying that you made the preloader. Oh and on the loading screen, I'll put Preloader©(Whoever) in the corner.

Here's a description:
The Word "Loading" above the load bar. I want the word in a pricedown font with a circular red to black gradient.
The load bar should be a flashing white square around a a fading red to black gradient. What I mean by flashing is one second it will be white, then black, then white etc.
And can you put text below that tells how much the movie is done loading (12 kb/1234 kb) but make this keep changing as more is loading. Put this in Times New Roman font and make the font white.
Oh and for the "play" button just make a red square around black text that says "Play" I know how to edit buttons, you don't have to do everything!

Thanks whoever does it. If someone can please do this Instant message me on AIM or MSN. My screen names are:
AIM: DP KiNG 89
MSN: joeyklatzko@hotmail.com

I will be on until about 3:00 pm eastern today so IM me and then you can send me the .fla file.

If you're gonna make one please respond here first. Oh and if it's gonna take you more then an hour then just say so, we can set up a time to send the file...

How To Make A Preloader
Hi.
How to make an indicator, a line or something, or maybe percentage displaying the percent of site that has loaded. At present my site starts to loads and shows elements one by one while loading the site. This doesn't give the flash effect to the site.
I want to add that percentage line so that it shows how much of the site has loaded and only after the site is loaded 100%, it goes and plays the site.
A step by step discription of how to do this will help a lot.
Thanks.

have you any advice??

Trying To Make A Preloader
Im having difficulty trying to make a preloader that appears to load in a percentage bar.

In the preloader i made several keyframes which contained the following actionscript. these refer to several keyframes i named with a marker in the main movie. I thought this would cause the preloader to pause at certain times until the certain marked parts of the movie had loaded, thus causing a preloading effect.

e.g.

ifFrameLoaded (first) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

ifFrameLoaded (second) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
}

can anyone tell me if i am wasting my time doing a preloader this way, or am i on the right lines atall? please help.

I Need To Make A Preloader
I have learned how to make flash movies. I learned quickly. I already made 4 Mortal Kombat Flash Movies, but none of them have a preloader. How do you make one? I have the perfect idea for a MK preloader, but I can't use it unless I find out how to make a preloader.

My idea is to take the MK2 health bar and make it say "loading..." in it. While it's loading, the health bar fills up and when it finishes, you can click "Play" and watch the movie. How can I make this preloader?

Flash Preloader Tutorial

If you are really annoyed that you have a big flash file loading – and you don’t know how big it is or how long it will take to load or how far it has loaded – then heres the antidote.

To make your own flash preloader do the following steps

Press Ctrl + F8

Call it “loadingscreen”, and select “movie clip”

Create 3 layers.

One called Actions

Once called Loading Bar

One Called loading play

Select Actions, create 2 blank key frames.

The first keyframe with the action script:

_root.stop(); PercentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal() * 100;
if (PercentLoaded != 100) { setProperty(loading_bar, _xscale, PercentLoaded);
} else { gotoAndStop(3);
}

The second with this action script:

gotoAndPlay(1);

Now select the layer called “loading bar” right click the 2nd frame and click “instert frame”

Select the 1st frame on the layer called loading bar

Draw a rectangle – this will be the loading bar.

Select the rectangle and press F8

Make it a movie clip – and call it “LoadingBar”

Give it an instance name of “loading_bar”

Select the layer called “loading play”

Now right click frame 2, and select “Insert frame” Now right click frame 3, and select “insert keyframe”

Select frame 1 and write loading

Select frame 3 and write play.

Select play and press F8. Select button and call it “PlayButton”

Double click “playbutton”

Look at the frames – one is called Over, one is called Down, and one is called Hit.

Right click hit and select “Insert Keyframe” Make a rectangle as big as your writing – so when you draw it, it goes all over your writing.

Now go back to Scene 1 and give “playbutton” this code:

on (release) {
_root.play();
}

Add another scene below scene 1 – so its scene 2

And copy and paste your movie into that scene.

When u press play it will goto and play the next frame or scene that it comes to.

How Can I Make A Preloader For Each Scene?
Hello

My movie is divided into two scenes each of them has about 200kbs, so it takes a long time to preload both of them at the same time.
So I thought about making a preloader just for the first scene and while the user is watching it once it is loaded, start loading the second scene.
Is this possible and if yes, could you please tell me how?

Thank you in advance!
