preloading
Hi guys and gals
Ive made a preloader with a loadbar and percent and all that, and it works kinda fine, but when the movie starts, its just an empty screen for a while and then the preloader with the bar and all shows for maybe half a second, I want it to show from the get go, you know what I mean? This is the code I use
percent=(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100;
loader._xscale = percent;
loadtext= int ((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)+"%";
"loader" is my loadbar of course.
Am I doing this all wrong? I have the preloader in a scene all by itself before the "real" movie, which is in another scene

try this
under your bar make 2 dynamic text boxes and in the "Var:" box label them bytes and percent then try this code
It makes an awesome preloader
In a new layer labeled actions make
Frame 1
---------------------------c-o-d-e----------------------------
percent = "0%";
bytes = "0 of " + Math.round((_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000
+ " Kb";
---------------------------------------------------------------
frame 2
---------------------------c-o-d-e---------------------------
percent = (Math.floor (_root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal() *100) + "%");
bytes = (Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000 + " Kb of " + Math.round((_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000 + " Kb total Loaded.");
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
percent = "100%";
bytes = (Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000 + " Kb of " + Math.round((_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000 + " Kb total Loaded.");
gotoAndPlay("scene",frame);
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure you type in your own scene and frame in the last line above
Frame 3
-----------------------c-o-d-e---------------------------------
gotoAndPlay(2);
---------------------------------------------------------------
frame 4
-------------------------------c-o-d-e-------------------------
stop();
------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're using components or exporting stuff on the first frame (linkage from the Library), then your preloader will not display properly, or in fact won't display until all that has to be exported on the first frame is downloaded.
You have to create a new preloader movie, which only purpose in life is to preload your present movie (without it's own present preloader), and you can find such a preloader in this thread:
