Description
This a tutorial i whipped up for users of Macromedia's Flash MX and above. Pr3eloaders are essiential part of animations/websites etc and keeps the user entertained while the movie is loading.

for those who cant b bothered copying the code needed just copy and paste this to make life easier. I hope u find this usefull:

//in frame one:

totalsize = _root.getBytesTotal();
sofar = _root.getBytesLoaded();
progress = int((sofar/totalsize)*100)
progress_bar._xscale = progress;
play();

----------

//in Frame two:

//if progress bar is less than 100 go to and play frame 1
//or
//if progress bar = 100 go and play
if (progress == 100) {
wait._visible=0;
}else{
goToAndPlay(1)
}

DEMO:
download link: [link]
and demo of it working (190KB): [link]

Things too look out for:
Instance Name is the ".progress_bar" - it MUST be the same name (case sensitive).
