In this Flash tutorial we learn how to make a cool animated sequence of squares as seen on the Nintendo Wii. This type of animation is ideal for a loading screen or preloader.

I noticed how you mentioned a preloader in this video and I’ve been searching like crazy but everything seems to be failing for me. So.. I have this video which I can post a link to if you want to see it, but the video is already made and I realized I wanted to add a preloader. The problem comes when I’m working with the progress bar or just making it hold off on playing the film until its fully loaded.
I’ve gotten to the point where it will sit and load (not showing the progress bar for some odd reason) and then it will just flash the picture. (This being from a new project just simply trying to use a preloader on an image) For some reason all CS4 script seems to be missing something.
I was hoping you could make a video tutorial on how to make a preloader and or what to do if you made a project and then want to add a preloader to it.
Thanks in advance.

oh and another quick thing, How do I get it so it only shows the movie on the stage. Like If i were to have a scrolling background it would show the whole thing moving on the screen and not just the stage where the action is giving a really poor effect.
