d. You need to create 2 layers in the root of your flash movie. The first layer will serve to contain the preloader and must be consist of one frame, the second one will be used to place the movie content and we need 2 frames in that later. To make thing easier we will name these layers "preloader" and "content"
e. Select "Rectangle Tool"
and draw shape in the first frame of the layer named "preloader"
f. Select the shape and right click on it. In the menu select "Convert to Symbol..."
then select "Movie Clip" option and press OK
g. Now you have included movie in the "preloader" layer. Select the movie you have made and press “F9” to get access to "Action" panel.
It consists of 2 windows. We need to use the right one to continue.
Click on the shape then copy the following code and paste it in the right window:
onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
text = percent+"%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
