[flashpro] AS2 Preloader - - Help Needed...

[Fes Hudson]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could point me to a
good tutorial, explain the process, show me some code,
basically anything or whatever may help me to achieve
the type of preloader I am trying to build.
Obviously, there are plenty of tutorials on building
preloaders out there, but most of them use older
techniques. What I want to accomplish is to build a
preloader using AS2 (since that is what I have been
learning, and I have also read that there is a
signifigant difference in the process if you are using
AS2 classes in your site) for the initial loading of
my site and then another one for the loading of
external swfs from within the website and possibly
basing it off of the MovieClipLoader class and it's
methods since it has a lot of built in functionality
for this sort of thing. I would like to know if anyone
could help me figure out the best, and most
professional way of constructing reusable preloaders
in this way. Another key desire of mine for the
preloaders, and one that I haven't been able to find a
single tutorial or forum post online that has been
helpful, is to have the preloader "animate in" BEFORE
it starts preloading, and then "animate out" AFTER the
load is complete, but BEFORE the content is visible.
I'm sure you guys know exactly the type of thing I am
describing, I just have never done this before and
need a little help the first time so I can get it
right. I appreciate any help that anyone is willing to
offer...thanks! - Fes
