Dear Nobe,
Both AS2 and AS3 versions of the preloader components do work in Flash CS3

If i want this preloader to load a movie how do I go about using it in the source. I tried putting the absolute url of the swf file but it does not load anything.

It works. Though it shows a square-shape pre-loader instead of a round one that is on stage. How do I change the style of the preloader?

@Q,

Path to external image depends on what image you want to download through preloader.
For example your swf file is uploaded to your website:

http://www.q-website.com/flashfile.swf

Inside this flash movie you want to download image which also located at your website, let’s say:

http://www.q-website.com/images/picture.jpg

to load this image and display preloader during the download process to your user, you will need to drop an instance of preloader component onto your stage, and specify path to the image in ‘source’ field. Remember it can be absolute or relative – so you can enter the following as a ‘source’ value:

1) Source = http://www.q-website.com/images/picture.jpg
or
2) Source = images/picture.jpg (since your swf file is at the same level as ‘images’ folder)

For files on your local computer you can use paths like C:\FolderName\ImageName.jpg or again relative path according to the location of your swf.

I hope this is clear – if not – let me know

Hi JPinheiro,

Are you sure you have installed it using Adobe Extension Manager?

Can’t you put resizeLoadedHeight and resizeLoadedWidth in % (percent) not only in pixels??
