hi, i made a preloader that i'm going to use for a web template, but here's the catch. I have a little circle that has a alpha at the start of 0 and the alpha changes along with how much the user has loaded. for example, if 50% has been loaded, the alpha is 50%. This work for a while but now it has went bust and won't work!
Another thing is, once it's loaded up to 100% i want the movie clip to continue playing with in the movie clip instead of jumping to the next frame in the scene. It won't do this this. It just stops and won't go to the next frame in the movie clip.
I've been trying to fix this problem for about 2 hours now, and i'm stumped! can anyone help? I can easily send you a copy of the .fla file if ur confused about the situation.

Thanks, Callum

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
light._alpha = per;
if (percent>99) {
gotoAndPlay(13);
}
}

there ya go

[funkysoul]

not sure now, but shouldn't the if statement look for the per variable instead of percent?

[darkson01]

yea good point, u wanting a copy of the .fla file to have a closer look?

[funkysoul]

sent!

ok, I got it

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
	total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
	percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
	per = int(percent);
	percentage = per+"%";
	light._alpha = per;
	if (per>=99) {
		_parent.gotoAndStop(2);
	}
}

the problem was that your loader was always stuck at 99, and with the operator > are you telling flash, that if percent is higher than 99 he should go to and play.
> - greater than
>= - greater or equal

have fun

treid that but it sticks just after the fading still

[funkysoul]

what do you mean it sticks to the image?
There is nothing else after the image frame..

[darkson01]

after the images fades and the circle goes white, it stops. It will jump to frame2 in scene 1 with the
"_parent.gotoAndPlay(2)"
code but i want it to play the rest of the movie clip but it won't. It just stops after it's loaded the movie and won't play the rest of the clip.

[funkysoul]

sorry for the misunderstanding..

here the code for the preloader mc

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	var loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
	var total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
	percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
	var per = int(percent);
	var percentage = per+"%";
	light._alpha = per;
	if (per>=99) {
		this.play();
	}
}

and the code for frame 11 of the movieclip

stop();
if (per>=99) {
	gotoAndPlay(13);
}

Have fun
