Hi guys,

i tried the tutorial that teaches you how to create a preloader....i followed the instructions and it still doesnt work! what's wrg?

i put
if (_framesloaded>=_totalframes) {
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp gotoAndPlay (36);
} else {
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp gotoAndPlay (1);
}
on my first frame actions....i put the "gotoAndPlay (36)" cause i tried a previous preloader that took more than 1 frame and didnt want to change my button's "goTo" frames...but i figured it wont change anything...

anyways, i put that line of code as my first frame action....by double clicking the timeline....
then i create a symbol for that frame 1 and created an animation....but then when i put it on the web, it doesnt work...what am i doing wrong? or am i too dumb to see something wrong? =(

Check "preloader re-revisited" in the "best of Kirupa" section. I have a detailed write up there as well as a free download, IF my server is up (which it hasn't been for three days now). I think it's the best preloader I've seen so far.
