The Perfect Preloader!

Okay first off I am not going to even try to take credit for this great preloader. I got it from the Macromedia Developers site and its free there but I have been looking for one that had this much freedom and here it is.

When you open the '.fla' file you will see, in the library, a movie clip called progress_mc. The great thing about this preloader is that you can put whatever animation you want and it will play it as the preloader and it will slow it down as needed. It also playes the entire movie clip so you see it smoothly go all the way threw your animation.

Again i did not create this code here is a link to who did...write him and tell him how much you love him!

Ditto, what's it got that the other 20000 preloaders I see everyday don't have ?

[icio]

yes, that's a preloader alright.

[VersusMG]

The cool thing about this one that is different from the other preloaders i have found is that it never skips your animation. It is always smoothe and doesn't jump.

:) - I guess I like it a lot more than most people.

Well, it's rock solid.

[Galenmereth]

Does nothing my preloaders can't do... And they are rock solid themselves... If by rock solid you mean that "it works without flaws" :p

[tonelly]

it is very smooth,most preloaders skip percentage etc if the file is loading quickly

[mucho]

very nice!

[intergalactic]

what do we do with the .as file???? and are all the scripts and stuff alreaady in the .fla file?

[intergalactic]

basically, i copied all the frames from the perloader.fla that's there and put it at the beginning of my movie and renamed the beginning of my actual content "START" and put the .as file in the same directory as my .fla and .swf but still it doesn't work...so what am i supposed to do...the guy who made this fla doesn't give any actual tutorial steps...so i don't know how to customize this and make it work for me.
help.

[intergalactic]

OH MAN!!!....i think i finally got a working preloader...oh boy it works now and i have to say this is better than any other preloader ONLY cuz it seems to have not failed a single soul yet...please check to make sure i'm not crazy but i think my preloader finally works, which means no one needs to explain to me how to work it or what to do with .as file... www.jenniferjeanneboutique.com

Yep, and the fact that it is smooth progression when you're on broadband....most preloaders skip and aren't lookin' smooth at all.
This is nothing special, just a very good example how a preloader can/should be build.

[yohan753]

This is a very cool preloader. However, I've been trying to use it to load components. I've read over the other threads on exporting frame class and such....but, those don't seem to address using a preloader class. Do any of you know how to do this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /kirupa/preloader/ on this server.
and the ones I saw in the macromedia site arent that great; but as you said, you might like it more than other people, I like purple, other people like orange... and so on :party:
