Preloader Help

[cmxsevenfoldxmc]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out how to have this animation (http://www.tiresafe.info/temp/DRIFTWOOD.html) play during a preload instead of a progress bar with a percentage.

How can I achieve this?

Thank you all in advance

Just put it in a movieClip, and let it play while you preload in frame 1, and once loaded move to frame 2.

wouldn't this make the sun rising animation loop? I'm trying to make it so that the sun rises as the loading progresses, and reaches the top when the loading reaches 100%

would I have to make a "while" statement with this instead?

Ok yes, it would loop.

You would have to put something in your preloader that also moves the animation along frame by frame as the percentage done increases. So if you can make the sun movieclip 100 frames long, then each time 1% more is done you can have it move ahead one frame. It would be almost the same code as a preloading bar that you increase its length, except you would be changing the frame instead of graphic size.
