INSTRUCTIONS: Put that on a MC on the first frame of your movie. TADA! (Change colors around, meant to work on a non-white background)

It is the preloader used in White & Black

Nice, It's very simple and good. Easy to use too, for the newbies.

API preloaders, huh? This is something I've been meaning to do for a while. Give me 15 minutes to cook something up (probably more like an hour, but we can hope....)

This only took me 15 minutes.

Here's a very basic one with a circle loading.

stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "showAll";
SW = Stage.width;
SH = Stage.height;
createEmptyMovieClip("back", 1);
with (back) {
beginFill(0, 100);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(SW, 0);
lineTo(SW, SH);
lineTo(0, SH);
endFill();
}
createEmptyMovieClip("circle", 2);
circle.rd = SH/4;
circle.oA = 0;
with (circle) {
_rotation = 270;
_x = SW/2;
_y = SH/2;
}
onEnterFrame = function () {
circle.rp = (_root.getBytesLoaded()/ _root.getBytesTotal())*360;
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
back.removeMovieClip();
circle.removeMovieClip();
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
with (circle) {
beginFill(0x8F0101, 100);
am = Math.tan(22.5*Math.PI/180);
var startx = rd*Math.cos(oA*Math.PI/180);
var starty = rd*Math.sin(oA*Math.PI/180);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(startx, starty);
var endx = rd*Math.cos(rp*Math.PI/180);
var endy = rd*Math.sin(rp*Math.PI/180);
lineTo(endx, endy);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
oA = rp;
}
};

Fleshed it out a bit (added counter, button, fade), still needs work though. Drawing seems glitchy, too.

Hmmm, doesn't look too good if you already have the movie in your cache. Oh well.
