Preloaders
Author: Eddie Carroll | Website: http://www.flashkit.com |

Create Loop to Keep Checking

Now select the second blank keyframe and this action:

Go to and Play (preloadScene, 1)
// keep looping in current scene to first keyframe until movie has loaded

Now create a movie clip an have it run in the first frame. This is an extremely simple one, good for movies that only take a short time to load. If you have a monster be imaginative a add some extra text or animation to entertain your visitor while they wait.

There you have it! Basic Preloaders in a nut shell. When you finish, test your preloader by selecting control Menu> Test Movie as well as Control Menu> Show Streaming.
