Very nice pre-loaders. Clean, efficient… Great work!

Thanks for the class!

I have one question, hope you can help me:

How can i attach the preloader with the image of the fullscreen class?

I mean, something like this:

function loadImage(e:Event = null):void {
var bg:FullScreenImage = new FullScreenImage(“image.jpg”,FullScreenAlign.TOP,true);
bg.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);
bg.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress, false, 0, true);
addChild(bg);
}

function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
//attach the preloader
}

function onComplete(e:Event):void {
//remove the preloader
}

Hi Zem,

You could edit this preloader to work with the image class but I don’t think it will out of the box.

The Image class does have a progress event you could use to get the percent loaded and show it in the preloader but once again this is something you would have to implement on your own.

The preloader just looks at the stage of the swf and sees what needs to be loaded and shows from that.

Great, i’ll try to adapt your code to do that. Thanks!

Just one question, why you use a timer to launch the preloader?

Since the timer is not attached to the frame rate of the swf you can force it to update more often or less often. I feel that gives me more control over the refresh rate.

Nice work, How can I get this preloader? Is the a as3 file or fla? Thanks

Just click on the thumb nail above for the type of preloader you want the link is the thumb nail.

yeah, I just figured it out, Thanks man!

Why the image on second frame isn’t full browser?

You saved my day, maybe week – thanks a bunch for this!

Great looking preloader!!

Love the simplicity and smoothness. But when I try your fla for testing on my webhost it doesn’t work. It looks brilliant when I simulate the download in Flash CS4. I’ve put some hi res pictures on the second frame in the fla. With the intention to simulate a download live on my website. But the preloader screen fails to appear. What am I doing wrong? Could it be my webhost or is it an “infinity” problem or of course is it me
(-Also this is the fifth time I’ve tried to make a preloader work on my site.-)

Hope you can help me!

this was my problem http://patrickmcd.com/2009/04/20/flash-preloading-errors-turn-off-gzip/

Hi – Your preloader won’t publish for me… What’s wrong? It says: Error creating swf file movie.
Thanks.
