Thank you for trying to help me... I really appreciate it, none the less when the complete code is:

var maskStart:Number = 166;
var maskFinish:Number = 396;
var maskMove:Number = maskFinish - maskStart;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var fileURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("portaro2009.swf");

myLoader.load(fileURL);

Hi Sol,
Set the alpha property of the myLogo movieclip to zero :
if (event.bytesLoaded == event.bytesTotal) {
myLogo.alpha = 0;
removeChild(logoMask);
addChild(myLoader);
}

In this tutorial is used ActionScript 3.0.On this blog you will find a tutorial that shows how to make a preloader using ActionScript 2.0: Advanced preloader. All you have to do is to figure how to load the PNGs (it’s not so hard) and to relate that code with you needs.

2008-03-20T11:14:00.000-07:00

Does this require ActionScript 3? I am using Flash 8 which only gives me access to AS2. My goal is to create a preloader that will show the status of an external PNG (or multiple PNGs) loading. Your tutorial seems to address this goal. Thanks.

2008-03-06T04:24:00.000-08:00

I’m glad that find my tutorial helpful. Yes the alpha property is accessible in AS 3, alpha takes values from 0 to 1.Don’t forget to convert your text to a MovieClip.

2008-03-06T03:49:00.000-08:00

Your tutorial is very helpful. I now have the idea to make the text fade in fully from invisible to completely visible... not using a mask but setting the opacity or alpha based on the percent of the external file that's loaded at the time. Is that property accessible from AS 3.0?

Thanks again!
