Simple Percentage Preloader
When creating lengthly or very large Flash documents, your users will usually see a blank rectangle while the file loads all the way through. By placing a preloader, you can let them see the progress the file has loaded so far.
Step #1
First make a scene before your main movie, call this scene preLoader. Within this scene, make three keyframes by selecting the first keyframe and pressing F6 twice.
Step #2
Now, make a textbox and select Dynamic Text in the text properties and give it the instance name of preLoader. This text box will display the loadtime by percentage.
Step #3

Select the first frame and press F9 to open up the actionscript window and type in the following:

Code \\
percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100);
preLoader.text = percent + "% is loaded";

 

Step #4

In the second frame of the movie, press F9 to open up the actionscript menu and type in the following actionsript code:

Code \\
if (percent == 100){
gotoAndStop(3);
}else{
gotoAndPlay("SCENENAME,FRAME");
}

Replace the bold letters in the code with the Scene and Frame of where you want the movie to play when the percentage reaches 100%. Note that they are seperated by a comma with no space.

Step #5

Remember, On the Last frame of your main movie, be sure to insert a stop variable so that the movie doesn't repeat itself.

Code \\
