3kb to big for a preloader?

[mindfriction]

Just quickly, I recently made my own preloader component. It's about 3kb in size, there is slight delay over a 56k modem, 2-4 secs. Is that not good from a user point of view or am I being too anal about this ?

I wouldn't consider 3kb a problematic size at all...

Definitely, you're worring too much about it. I'd say 3 KB is pretty good. ;)

yeah ty guys, haha stressing about nothing..its just like me :hair: ....

Hey you guys wouldn't have any better ways to animate a 'swirl' in the preloader bar so it looks like the Mac OS preloader ?

Here ive used AS as created by Ilyas for for his infinite menu tweening to move a swirl image

var bLoaded = (this[this.targetClip].getBytesLoaded()/1024);
var bTotal = (this[this.targetClip].getBytesTotal()/1024);
var loadPercent = Math.floor((bLoaded/bTotal)*100);
this.loadBar_mc._xscale = loadPercent;
this.label_txt.text = loadPercent+" %";
this.swirl_mc.setMask(this.loadBar_mc);
this.swirl_mc._x+=10;
if (this.swirl_mc._x > 0) this.swirl_mc._x=-115;
if (this.swirl_mc._x < -115) this.swirl_mc._x=0;
if ((bLoaded==bTotal) && (bTotal>1)) {

this._visible = false;
play();
}
};
