View 2 Replieshow to make text acting as a preloader so that its color changes as preloader percentage. i dont mean how to apply the math, i mean how to mask it or whatever action to achieve that effect?

I've watched Lee's video on the Flash CS4 preloader a few times now but have not been able to figure out how to switch a movieclip for the dynamic text field.
Here's what I'm trying to do. My logo is a handwritten font. I've used the eraser tool over 100 frames to simulate the handwriting taking place, during the preloading process. Hopefully this will start at Frame 1 and go up to Frame 100 based on the percent of the external file loaded.
I just don't get how to change the AS from the video tutorial to have it work for my application. I don't have the 'percent_text' dynamic field obviously so the two lines which pertain are wrong, but that still doesn't get the movieclip [called logoLoader] to engage the script.
Here is Lee's script:
Code: Select allvar l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
[Code].....
I know it's possible i saw it on several websites does some one know how i can use a static text in preloader counting to 100%? For an example look at ILOVETECHNO.BE The preloader a heart use a static text i think it cannot be a dynamic text because the font is not a normal average one

View 3 RepliesI followed a tutorial to get a preloader working for a flash that contains tlf text. The problem I'm having is that a lot of formatting of the tlf text is lost. The text looks like this with the preloader and like this without the preloader.

View 2 RepliesI have a swf with dynamic text field that loads external text. One frame only. i am trying to monitor loading progress of external txt file but i can not. Preloader just does not show anything but when it is fully loaded it just displays 100%. I usually do not have any problems with preloading swf. Here is my code and if you can tell me what is wrong that would be great. t googled for solution but i mosty found general preloading problems (not for external text)
ActionScript Code:
var textName:String = "test.txt";
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest( textName);
[Code].....
the preloader bar doesn't reach its maximum size while the text goes from 0% to 100% correctly (when it says 100% the bar is still at 20 or 30 percent of its original size).[URL]This is my website, with the preloader at the beginning: [URL]
View 8 RepliesAfter thinking over this for sometime It's a tad more advanced than i think I'm at, at the moment.So this idea for the preloader, its a single lined textbox 44 characters long. The idea is that once you click on the object a .length determines the length of the text then subtracts it from 44, then while the preloader.onLoadprogess is doing its thing i'd like to add a "."+preloaderStatus to the textfield (the preloaderStatus is the 10% etc to 100%)
So it'd start as :
1) Yaiks
2 while loading) Yaiks.....................20
3 finished) Yaiks.......... .......................100
But at the end the 100 will stop at 44 with the right amount of "..." in the middle determined by the length of the original text in the field.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a site using only flash. So far I'm using preloaders for all of my external content.I need a preloader for text (externally loaded from an XML). The text is formated as HTML and it will have lots of pictures. I'm worried that if I leave it without a preloader, the pictures won't appear.
View 3 RepliesIf anyone has a minute, can you look at this script and spot the flaw. I got it fron[URL].. It MOSTLY works, the bar travels across as it is loading, but the dynamic elements (percent loaded, # of bytes loaded vs. # bytes total) are blank areas. Haven't a clue. I can e-mail you the Flash file, I saw no provision to upload it to this Forum.

I have a preloader in my file.At the end of the preloader completion event, i am loading 12 swf files from outside using individual loader. Now problem is, i need to display loading percentage in text for preloader. But, the percentage shoud cover all swf loding also. it mean, from preloader, starts, it has to start from 1 and end of the 12th swf loader completetion,it should display 100%.
View 0 RepliesThe preloader works perfect but I would like it to display text instead of numbers as it loads. So it would be like "one, two, three, four,...." What do I need to do?Code is below
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal()+_root.holder_mc.g etBytesTotal())/1024;
loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()+_root.holder_mc. getBytesLoaded())/1024;[code]......
I have the following script for my preLoader (see below).Its a simple preLoader with a loading bar that goes from left to right with a percent read out.What I want is the percent text box to move along the _x with the load bar, so when the load bar is at 100% the percent text box is just above.
myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);
function preloader() {
if (_root.getBytesLoaded()>=_root.getBytesTotal()) {[code].........

I just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.
