FLASH: Percent Loader URL Here

[2Nerotik]

This is the one I finally used.


http://www.enetserve.com/tutorials/loader.html


The thing to remember is the actual percent loader bar and fs commands are

in a separate scene called loader.


And when you make your movie that Scene must be the first one to play.


So if your Movie is already made you will need to move it.


It's easy to do, just add another scene... before creating the loader scene


then copy all your frames and paste them into the scene you just made.


Delete all the frames and Layers from the old scene the create your

Percent loading animation in it.


If you (or anyone) needs more help, just ask.


This is what I originally didn't realize and thought missing from the fla.


It's actually very easy.


To see what I did have a look at http://www.nisa.net/~2nerotik/


The doorway is the fading "Addicted 2 Swing" and "Enter" flash animation.


You have to go through this way because I'm using Frames and the JavaScript

is set to target a specific frame, otherwise the Percent loader won't work.


If you are using you SWF in a frame, you must target THAT frame in the

JavaScript.


Change


path = InternetExplorer ? parent.yourFlashmovie: 

parent.document.yourFlashmovie;


with


path = InternetExplorer ? parent.FrameName.yourFlashmovie : 

parent.FrameName.document.yourFlashmovie;


PS: to get an actual # percent to show up, I just made a textfield box, 

with the variable

name Percent, then on a blank layer create one 1 KeyFrame with the ActionScript

Set Variables: "Percent" = _currentframe


Since each frame in the loader scene represents 1% you now have an accurate %

count with out the need to create symbols for each number, works great.


If anyone likes the one I made, or wants a close look at it... just email 

me and I'll

send just that scene.
