Loading Sequence, Loading Animation or Preloader - Page 3

Step 3 - How to Make This Script Your Own

1. Change "http://www.yourdomain.com/your.swf" to represent the path to the external file you wish to load into your movie.
2. Then change 476 (and 4.76) to accurately represent the starting length of your loading bar.
That's it!

Step 4 - Starting The Loading Sequence

Now that the loading sequence is all built, you only need to activate it. You can do that from anywhere in your main movie by setting "_root.loadingsequence" to true or false. In my example .fla I use a button with the following script:

on (release) {
	_root.loadingsequence = true;
}

This was my first tutorial, if it was helpful or if you have any comments, send me a quick e-mail (bill@billmackin.com). Depending on the response I get, I may provide a 2nd part to this tutorial that will show how to provide the time remaining for the loading sequence to complete.
