Loading Bar? How can I make this?

[ChitaKatana]

Hi, I've been using Flash for awhile, but I still havn't quite figured out how to make a "Loading Screen".. I was wondering if someone could show me how to make one, or show me a place that would help me?

Hi,

There are lots of demo's around for createing preloaders. Do a google search on "flash preloader tutorials" and you should find lots. Here is a preloader function I wrote that might be useful.........

/*

stop();
function myPreloader(targetFrame) {
	createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 9999);
	centerX = Stage.width/2;
	centerY = Stage.height/2;
	holder.createTextField("display", 100, centerX, centerY, 40, 20);
	holder.display.border = true;
	holder.display.background = true;
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		total = int(_root.getBytesTotal());
		download = int(_root.getBytesLoaded());
		percent = int(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100)+"%";
		_root.holder.display.text = percent;
		if (total == download) {
			_root.gotoAndPlay(targetFrame);
			_root.holder.unloadMovie();
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		}
	}
}
//Usage..... function name("frameLabel");
myPreloader("movieStart");
