Logo Preloader

This preloader uses company logo outline. The progress will fill in the logo during loading progress. When the pre-load complete, the logo will fade out and play the movie.

Adding the pre-loader to the working flash

• Copy Folder “com”, “caurina” “net” to your working folder.
• Open your working fla file in Flash.
• Open “preloader01.fla” in Flash.
• Browse the “preloader01” library and find the MovieClip called “preloader”.
• Drag the “preloader” MovieClip to 1st frame of your working fla.
• Now test if the preloader working.
• If it works, than we are going to change the logo.

Changing the Logo

• Double click the “logo” MovieClip in Library. Replace the “YourLogoHere” text with your Logo.
• Please note that the logo need to be in vector format. Raster format will not work because Flash cannot retrieve the Logo outline data.
• (Optional) Double click the “progress” MovieClip and adjust the height so that it fits the height of your logo.
• (Optional) You can also change the color of the progress if you want a different loading color instead of white.

Done

Changing the behavior [Advanced]

The Logo pre-loader is set to stop the flash animation at the beginning and play the flash animation when finish loading. You may need other behavior instead of stopping the movie. In these few steps I will guide you to the code where stop and play the movie so that you can change how it behaves.

Please note that these steps may need some programming skills.

- Browse into net->makzan->preloader folder.

The Stop Behavior

- Open “Preloader.as”.

- On line 40. You will find:

MovieClip(parent).stop();

This actionscript stop the Main Timeline.

The Play Behavior

- Open “LogoPreloader.as”

- On line 73. You will find:

MovieClip(parent).play();

This actionscript play the Main Timeline when the loading is completed.

You can change behaviors by altering these two lines.
