Message Shuffle Preloader

The Message Shuffle Preloader is a fun way to let your users know your content is on its way. It takes a message of your choosing and scrambles it, then rearranges the message into its correct order letter by letter as your content loads. When your message is in its correct order and readable, the content has loaded and your project is started. The preloader will automatically reposition itself if the stage is resized or fullscreen mode is toggled. This preloader is 100% code-driven, so there are no graphics to include!

There are several settings you can use to customize this preloader. Several of these settings can be tried out right now by clicking on the ‘settings’ bar in the demo above. The full list of settings is:

• message – The message whose letters you want to shuffle
• bgColor – This is the base color used to create the background.
• msgColorStart – The color of the letters before they’re arranged
• msgColorEnd – The color of the letters after they’re arranged
• msgSize – The font size of the text being swapped around
• txtColor – The color of any rotating messages at the bottom of the stage
• txtFont – This is the name of the font used for any text. The font you specify here needs to be embedded in your project to show up properly. A text field is provided in the preloader where you can change the embedded font.
• blurAmount – The amount to blur the letters as they teleport (in pixels)
• glowAmount – The amount of glowing to give the letters as they teleport (in pixels)
• showReflection – A true/false value that controls whether or not to show the reflection of the words.
• showBackground – A true/false value that controls whether or not to show the background behind the preloader.
• fadeOutAtEnd – A true/false value that controls whether or not the preloader fades out when it’s finished before moving to Frame 2.

All settings are accessed in their own layer in the preloader’s MovieClip, making it quick and easy to change the appearance of the preloader to suit your project’s needs. To use the preloader, simply place it on Frame 1 of your timeline, and begin your project on Frame 2. The preloader does the rest! Full instructions on how to implement and customize this preloader are included with your purchase.

This preloader uses the freeware, TrueType font Alte Haas Grotesk. It’s available on dafont.com (www.dafont.com/alte-haas-grotesk.font). Instructions on how to use this font or any font you prefer in this preloader is included with your download.

Message Rotation

This preloader has the ability to display messages to the user while your content is loading. The messages support basic HTML tags. Control font size, message duration, and looping. It’s completely optional, and all controlled through an XML file. No coding required! Instructions on how to make use of the message rotator are included with your purchase. Like the preloader but don’t want messages? Just leave out the XML file and you’re all set!

Thank you and enjoy!
