Does anyone know how to make a loading bar that measures how long until done/how much is done??? :X I looked all over and all I know is that it is actin scripting. But I dont know the first thing about action scripting except the simple stuff like buttons.

A good source fiel that you can download, also has an explanation about the preloader. If you wish to advance in Flash, you should definately learn actionscript.

Flash isnt the same without actionscript, because actionscript is pure magic, if you know how to use it. If you use Flash MX / MX2004 this tutorial is recommended. Its for Flash Player 6.

Thanks guys, I'll do that

Ahhh, god bless actionscript! Its simple and powerful. The first time I started using it I thought I was programming in pseudocode... I was just AMAZED it worked! LOL.

Yep its syntax is so similar to php, its even easier to learn how to code.

Create your images in Photoshop, save them.

Import the images into Flash and your set.

And there you have it! A one-of-a-kind bandwidth hog!

Obviously theres nothing worse then importing un-optimized images into flash, so tinker with save for web and try to keep them small in resolution. And try to keep them static, because flash isnt too good at actually doing anything with raster images.

GoldNetX · 09-22-2004

Yeah, good point. They definately need to be optimized, also the make sure you use the smallest file type you possibly can.

Jpg, png. Flash doesnt likes gifs too much.

is there any way to get transparent and semi transpatent images to look right in flash?

TVPR · 02-12-2005

They are supposed to - what did you make them in before importing?

BlodoPKNZ · 02-16-2005

Use PNG-24 preferably. Note: it makes a rather large file though, so it would be better if you made a workaround.
