==================================================== PRISM PRELOADER :: by Zachary Knight ==================================================== Simple, clean, classic, sexy. And definitely smooth...complete animation is always shown, even during fast loads. Only 4.8k...fades are scripted. FEATURES :: * no skipped frames during loading * tiny file size * drag-n-drop convenience SWF STATS :: * Dimension = n/a * Published File Size = 4.8k * Frame Rate = 24fps * Flash Player Version(s) = 8 * ActionScript Version = 2.0 * Authored In Version = Professional 8 FILES INCLUDED :: * PrismPreloader__FP8_AS2.fla (Flash 8 authoring file) * PrismPreloader__FP8_AS2.swf (Flash 8 movie) * PrismPreloader__HELP.txt (this file) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO USE :: (1) Open your FLA file. (2) Open the "PrismPreloader" FLA file. Now you have both FLA files open. (3) In Flash, click the "New Library Panel" button. It is located on the top right of the Library panel (directly under the Library's menu button) and the icon depicts two blue documents with an arrow on top of them. (4) When the new panel opens, drag it to where you can also see the original Library. (5) Use the drop-down menus on both panels to make sure each has a different Library displayed. (6) Drag the entire "PrismPreloader" folder from one panel into your Library. (7) Close the floating Library panel, and the "PrismPreloader" FLA file. (8) Open the "PrismPreloader" folder in your Library, in which you will find a movieclip called "07__PrismPreloader__(AS)". This is the movieclip that you will drag onto the Stage. It does not require an instance name. (9) Place it into the first frame of the root level by itself (or with as few other elements as possible). (10) Your content can be on any frame after the preloader. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rock n' roll!
