its in the same directory as the script, its a swf file, case is identical to file name…………….
I got it to work once, but can not see what i’m doing wrong now

1 I dont know if its because I’m running on a fast pc, but cant really test code, as the first page of the site
loads before I can see the counter or bar

2 loader screen does not clear when page is loaded

other than that great and easy loader
ps: plse be patient i’m a newbee

i have put my intro and the preloader SWF in the same folder and changed in the URLrequest lyne into the name of my own file.

- tried to copy the code of the demo site into dreamweaver, and tried my own code.

I think i am missing something here,

Im trying to make a flash intro doe my site.
If i click on the preloader SWF it works fine, but i just cant implement it correctly into dreamweaver CS4

replace:

accordionTextField.setTextFormat(myFormat); // sets the format from earlier

with this:

accordionTextField.defaultTextFormat = myFormat; //set the format

sorry….

var accordionTextField:TextField = new TextField(); // DYNAMICALLY create the textfield
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); // if you have more than one preloader you can set the format for the text
var loader:Loader = new Loader(); // constructor for the loader
var accordionSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“swfs/accordion.swf”); // this is the swf you load

myFormat.color = 0×999999; // set the color
myFormat.size = 12; // set the size
myFormat.font = “Arial”; // set the font

accordionTextField.x = 266.3; // set the width position for the percentage loader (ideally in the center
accordionTextField.y = 471.9; // set the height position for the percentage loader (ideally in the center
accordionTextField.selectable = false; // can’t select it
accordionTextField.setTextFormat(myFormat); // sets the format from earlier
accordionTextField.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED; // we need this baby clear = )

loader.load(accordionSWF); // initiate the loader with the url request
loader.x = 10; // this is where the swf width postion
loader.y = 351; // this is where the swf height position

addChild(accordionTextField); // adds the textfield you created to the stage
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
// progress event listener on loader
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
// complete event when it’s done loading
function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void // the actual function here, what logic occurs
{
var ratio:Number = event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal; // creates the ratio variable and sets the value
accordionTextField.text = Math.ceil(ratio*100)+”%”.toString(); // sets the dynamic textfield
}
function completeHandler(event:Event):void{ // function to remove the textfield
removeChild(accordionTextField); // remove it
}

addChild(loader); // add the swf you are loading
