Preloader

the basic heart of the preloader is:
if (getBytesTotal() == getBytesLoaded()) {
} else {
}
![[conehead]](/data/assets/smilies/conehead.gif "[conehead] [conehead]")
if (getBytesTotal() == getBytesLoaded()) {
} else {
}
If your preloader is on the main timeline, and not contained in a movie clip, or not based on an onEnterFrame function, then you would need to create a loop so that the preloader does it's job. It would be something along the lines of...
Frame 1:
No real need of an else here. Though you could insert code for a loaded percentage display, or a loadbar progress, without an else.
Frame 2: (or further)
Regards,
Frame 1:
Code:
if(_root.getBytesLoaded() >= _root.getBytesTotal()){
// then the movie is loaded...
// a gotoAndPlay to the first frame
// of your movie...
}Frame 2: (or further)
Code:
gotoAndPlay(1);
// the actual loop until the movie is fully loaded...Regards,
