Well i'm new here on stickpage and this will be my first tutorial

a really basic and easy preloader with basic coding

put this code in the first frame of your animation:

stop()
createEmptyMovieClip ("ploader",-1)
ploader._x = 0
ploader._y = 0
ploader.createTextField("T",1,2,2,Stage.width,Stage.height)
ploader.T.selectable = false
ploader.T.setTextFormat(fmt);
ploader.blendMode = "invert"
function preload(){
ploader.T.text = Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100) + "% loaded"
if(ploader.T.text=="100% loaded"){
ploader.T.text = "Load Complete - Click anywhere to continue"
clearInterval(Int)
Loaded = true
}
}
var Loaded:Boolean = false
var Int:Number = setInterval(preload,100)
function onMouseDown(){
if(Loaded){
_root.play()
unloadMovie(ploader)
delete preload
delete Loaded
delete Int
delete onMouseDown
}
}

and now you have a basic preloader maked in two secons with basic coding

I know it's short but is really basic and if you don't understand something leave a comment
LOL Bye............................

Would this happen to be the default preloader for many beginner/intermediate Flash animators?
EDIT: Tried it, and it didn't work ;-;

well have you click in the first frame of your movie opened the actions panel and put the code in there? or else explain your error to me in a PM

Did exactly that, copy paste into the actions, and even made it on a seperate layer, but the preloader did not show at all. The animation just started.

oh now I can see your problem the code has a little problem sorry I'll fix it right now

No, it's impossible to get for free. Certainly not legally, and we wouldn't consider doing anything illegal on this perfectly well-behaved forum.

ehh can you send me a example flash file i dont know shit about coding. unless i see an example. thanks

ive tried this before and it didn't work :eek:
