AS3 FullSWF Preloader v2.0 FlashVar + XML

Author: Clemente Gomez FlashDen Portfolio: http://activeden.net/user/cg219/portfolio

Description: Simple and easy to set up. The file never even needs to be opened to customize the preloader. All settings are set in the flashvars of the html calling your swf. The preloader adjusts its size when the browser is resized.

____________________________________________________________________

Here is a list of the settings

color = Color of the Sliding area. Usage: Accepts a hex number starting with “0x”. Ex: 0xFFFF00

fadeOut = Speed of which the preloader fades out. Usage: Accepts a Number. Ex: .06

loadedSwf = swf you want to load. Usage: Accepts a swf filename with the extension. Ex. mainmovie.swf

percentColor = color of the percentage text. Usage: Accepts a hex number starting with “0x”. Ex: 0×0000FF

percentSize = font size of the percent. Usage: Accepts a Number. Ex: 24

direction = direction the preloader animates. Usage: Accepts “v” for Vertical and “h” for Horizntal. Default if nothing there is horizontal. Ex: h

Example of the flashVar string color=0×222222&fadeOut=0.2&loadedSwf=tester.swf&percentColor=0xEF0038&percentSize=36&direction=v




For the XML Version, All settings are set in a XML file called “pconfig.xml”. It needs to be located in the same directory as the preloader swf file.
