Adding %age Preloader to External SWF files
This is the most asked question on all the swish forums, so I thought to write an easy tutorial for you guys.
Description
This tutorail demonstrates the procedure to create a percentage
preloader (with simple progressbar), for Externally loaded SWF files
within your sprites.
Follow the steps
1. Create a Dynamic TextBox name it _myMsgObj and name its variable target myMsg
2. Create a rectangle for 20x20 pixles
3. Group it as Sprite
4. Name the sprite 'progBar'
5. Put a stop(); action in first frame of your first preloader Scene as:
| CODE |
onFrame(1) {
stop();
}
|
6. Copy following code and paster in the main timeline anywhere
| CODE |
onEnterFrame() {
pLoaded = this.percentLoaded();
tBytes = this.getBytesTotal();
myMsg = pLoaded+"% Loaded of "+tBytes+" bytes";
progBar._width = pLoaded;
if(pLoaded == 100)
play();
}
|
and your preloader is added.....
post questions if you dont understand any of its steps.
