Who can help me mixing these two pieces of code in Flash5?

[ericinho]

Hi all,

I want to blend two scripts into one:

A preloader script + a script where the MC is being faded to 0% alpha.

I want to combine them so that when the percentage reaches <99%, the preloader MC (preloader) is being faded to alpha 0%.

code:

---

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	if (this._alpha>=1) {

		this._alpha = this._alpha -= 10;

	}

}

---

but because of the IF statement of the alpha fade script, I can't really implement it correctly in the if (percent>99) { action. I want it where I now have the _visible property.

And if it would be possible, I would like the '_root.content.gotoAndPlay(3);' line to wait untill _root.coverover.preloader.alpha = 0; (so that would be another IF statement)...
So how to I mix all this into one working actionscript???? Hope someone can help me

code:

---

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	loading = _root.content.getBytesLoaded();

	total = _root.content.getBytesTotal();

	percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;

	per = int(percent);

	percentage = per+"%";

	loadBar._width = per;

	if (percent>99) {

		

		_root.coverover.preloader._visible = 0;

		_root.content.gotoAndPlay(3);

	}

}

Well, I'm not sure what this line is supposed to do.

percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;

this translates into
percent = percent - (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;

couldn't you so something like

code:

---

var loaded = _root.content.getBytesLoaded();

var total = _root.content.getBytesTotal();

var percent = Math.floor(loaded / total * 100);

_root.MCToMakeFade._alpha = 100 - percent;

if(percent == 100){

// continue

}

basically it does this:

percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
What it effectivly does is add a 'lag' to the progress of the loading. For example, when the percent of the .swf file loaded goes from 10% to 30%, the old style of preloader would do the same, the loading bar would jump straight from 10% to 30%. This line of the script makes the loading bar smoothly move up from 10% to 30%, instead of jumping straight up.

and I don't want to alter the existing preload code, since it works like a charm. But nevertheless thanks for your suggestion.

Anyone?
