Hi Michiel,
Remove the stop(); method from the second frame on the actions layer and everything will work fine.

Hi Lawrence,
It’s not a bug in the code, there is a problem in the way IE handles the ProgressEvent.
One solution will be to add the COMPLETE event and instruct the player to go to the next frame when the loading is done or to use an ENTER_FRAME event to keep track of the loading process.

I think there is a bug in your code. If you try to...

I think there is a bug in your code.
If you try to refresh your file (Internet Explorer 7) after your file is complete loaded, everything will stuck in first frame.
Because the procentLoaded==100, already, and don't gotoAndPlay(2) again!!!

It is better something like this:
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
//then
function onComplete(e:

Hey,

I just finished a site www.solvespaces.com and I'm having troubles with it loading properly. I have put a pre-loader on the first frame with the action in the action frame:

ifFrameLoaded (_totalframes) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

Hi Joshua,
I don’t quite understand your problem. But if you say that you have a main swf witch loads other 4 swf’s this preloder isn’t quite feet for your task.
You should place a preloader on the main swf(this will look at the loading progress of the external swfs) and when the external swf it’s loaded you should set the preloader visibility to false(not instruct the player to go to a

I should preface all this by saying I'm using Action Script 2.0 and Flash CS4.

I had to do this because I've got another .swf that's my index.html (we'll call it index.swf for ex.), so when you click on one of 4 links on index.swf, it loads one single .swf (my main

2009-01-13T05:39:00.000-08:00

Hi George,
If the main swf and the swfs that you want to load are on the same server you shouldn’t have problems. You can find more about Flash player Security sandboxes here: Security sandboxes.

Hi William,
I suppose that you want to load an external swf. Check this tutorial: Preloading SWF, JPG, PNG or GIF files with AS 3.0. it shows how to preload external files(swf,jpg).

Hello, I also want to thank you. I am making the switch from AS 2.0 to 3.0 and your Pre-loader is the easiest one I have found so far. Thanks again. I hope you don’t mind but I also wanted to have a dynamic text and this is what I came up with Just wanted to share so others case use it too. Thanks again.

2008-09-07T09:03:00.000-07:00

Select the Text tool from the tool bar and click and drag on the stage, after go to the Property Inspector and set the type to Dynamic text.
You must cast (convert) your procentLoaded variable to String like this:
LoadText.text = String (procentLoaded)
Download the source files and see there how it’s done exactly.

2008-09-06T08:27:00.000-07:00

Hi mate could you tell me how to put on dynamic text? I have tried this; LoadText.text= procentLoaded and there is an error. You are very simple could you explain how please? p.s have you seen the other tuturials for this, the script is 10 times longer!

Hi Julie,
I'm glad that you find my tutorial easy to understand. Nice preloader you have there.

2008-07-27T16:56:00.000-07:00

Thank you so much for this preloader. It is so easily explained that I actually get it. LOL! I am such a n00b at this and really don't understand the action of it all. I am trying though. But I am grateful for this tutorial.

I really don't know how to add something to the preloader except for the Import function to stage...but that's a start.. :)

2008-07-16T09:39:00.000-07:00

Yes, it’s possible to add a little animation to keep your users busy until your files are loading. Browse thru tutorials you will find a tutorial that shows how to load external swf’s.

2008-07-15T09:41:00.000-07:00

Thanks,
the loader works perfect. My only question goes is, is it possible to create a movie clip animation to play in the background to customize the look a bit? I guess not actually have anything to do with the actual preloader, just play. And do you hae an tutorials for as3 for a loader on an externaly loading swf. Thanks

2008-07-03T04:12:00.000-07:00

I don’t know what to tell you.
The preloader works fine, you sad that your .fla works fine without the preloader; so you must make a mistake when you add the preloader.
Check the preloader with other files, see if it works.

2008-07-02T08:04:00.000-07:00

I have an existing AS 2.0.fla file that works properly. When I insert & publish this AS 2.0 preloader to frame1, the preloader seems to work okay, but when it reaches 100% and moves on to frame 2 with the 'gotoAndPlay(2)' command, nothing further happens. I'm left with just a blank stage. When I remove the AS code for the preloader and try again, the rest of my original .fla goes back to

Make sure that you use gotoAndPlay() and not gotoAndStop() .If you are using the right method check your effect maybe something else it’s stopping your movie.

2008-06-12T13:43:00.000-07:00

I'm using your preloader for my website, and I have an error with viewing frame three. The movie stops at frame two, and will not continue to frame three and beyond, which has other special effects that are supposed to take place. Any suggestions?
