I'm really new to flash...I have this text loader fla that is slow enough to
need a preloader and I have not been able to get one to work...I have uploaded
the fla and attached it here...I used the Bytes Based Preloader Component and
get "undefined". Here is the file attachment.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Trint

I am sending you a simple preloader...

I hope it works....

when testing, make sure to select the lowest speed on the "debug" menu and the
"show streaming" option from the "view" menu.

You have two Scenes:

Loader
Scene 1

Loader goes first... then you'll have all your movie on Scene 1... or other
Scenes maybe.

I hope it works.

Thanks,
M.

would you please email me this zip file?? It would not download from this site.
Thanks,

Hi,

You can get it at:

Let me know if it worked for you.

Thanks,

I'm still not doing something right...I followed your instructions and now the movie area just turns blue.
Thanks,

Well, you must first choose a 'speed', the lowest speed under 'debug'
and then you will choose 'show streaming' on view... it should take a little
longer...

but the pre-loader works.. and you'll see a blue block because that's what is
under 'Scene 1'

if you add a large bitmap or something, then you'll be able to really notice
the streaming once you upload it to a server and then access the swf through
http.

Let me know if you need more help.
