check out this cool preloader... It was posted on
www.australianinfront.com.au a week or so ago, by Robbie Shephard. It is
quite small (generates its own graphics!!) and still produces a nice result
!
Some of you out there may be interested in this code snippet:
fscommand("allowscale", false);
myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "_sans";
myFormat.size = 9;
myFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
function drawbar() {
//create the mc for the bar
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("preloader", 1);
_root.createTextField("loadText", 5, 125, 180, 100, 20);
preloader._x = 125;
// where the preloader bar sits on the stage - x position
preloader._y = 200;
// where the preloader bar sits on the stage - y position
// create the mc for the bar outline
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("outline", 2);
outline._x = 125;
// this is the preloader outline x position
outline._y = 200;
// this is the preloader outline y position
with (outline) {
lineStyle(1, 0xFFFFfF, 100);
//moveTo(0, 0);
moveTo(100, 0);
lineTo(100, 10);
moveTo(0, 10);
lineTo(0, 0);
}
}
function checkLoaded() {
loaded = getBytesLoaded();
total = getBytesTotal();
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("beginMovie");
clearInterval(checkInt);
removeMovieClip(outline);
removeMovieClip(preloader);
loadText.text =""
} else {
percentage = (Math.round((loaded/total)*100));
// loadText.text = "loading "+percentage+"%";
loadText.text = "Loading "+int(loaded/1024)+"kb of "+int(total/1024)+"kb";
loadText.setTextFormat(myFormat);
with (preloader) {
clear();
lineStyle(1, 0xFFFFFF, 100);
beginFill(0xFFFFFF, 100);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(percentage, 0);
lineTo(percentage, 10);
lineto(0, 10);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
}
}
}
drawbar();
checkInt = setInterval(checkLoaded, 100);
stop();
