  How do you install this? I added it on the stage but have no idea what to do for actions.

  Hey Tribungo. I really dig the component you’ve got here and I’m excited to implement it into my work. But I’m trying to load a MC from within the main timeline. I saw in your features section the snippet of this.root.loaderInfo and was thinking this would solve my loading problem, and yet I’m still unable to properly preload my flash. If you could check out my code and let me know what changes I need to make to get it to work, I’d be eternally grateful. Thanks!!

  var loader:Loader = new Loader();
  //var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“canoa.jpg”);

  
  

  //spin1.source = loader.contentLoaderInfo;
  spin1.source = this.root.loaderInfo
  spin1.addEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS , progressHandler );
  spin1.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE , completeHandler );

  
  

  loader.load(request);

  
  

  function completeHandler( e:Event )
  { trace( “COMPLETE” ); container.addChild( loader.content );
  }

  
  

  function progressHandler( e:ProgressEvent )
  { trace( “PROGRESS” );
  }

  Tribungo, you are indeed a poet and a scholar. Thank you so much for responding so quickly to my dilemma. The preloader works brilliantly!!

  I really like the “heart” animation. Iam sorry I am new to this! Can you tell me how I can have this exact component in your Spinning Preloader – Manual mode examples

  
  

  Many Thanks

  Hi tigra111,

  
  

  The heart is simply a movieclip, with instance name “heart”, that contains other movieclips inside it, distributed in the form of a heart. This does not contain any animation within it.
  The movement of the heart movieClip is given by an instance of Spinning Preloader component, whose contentMode property is set to “manual” and whose manualContent property has value “heart”

  
  

  The component is free and you can download the sample. See the quick start guide and reference page:

  I was beating my brains out trying to figure out how to increase the distance between the objects until I finally realized that I needed to increase the size!!

  
  

  It’s a GREAT component, but could you perhaps document that part for others’ sake? It took me entirely too long to figure it out.

  
  

  thanks!

  Hi savingedmund,

  
  

  All the component features are documented. In the quick start guide are the steps required to use the component. One of these steps says that you must resize the component.
  It is also an example called “Spinning Preloader Parameters” that lets you experiment with the parameters.

  Yeah, I’m also kind of confused on how to install this. It is on the stage, but I don’t know how to assign the loader to an image, or symbol. :( I only have basic flash knowledge. Does anyone want to help me? I can’t get my website back up until I solve this problem.

  
  

  Thanks a ton.

  I agree with the other posters, the instructions on actually using this are lacking, to say the least. By the time I figure out how to actually use this, I could probably write my own.

  Please, be a little more helpful. It seems nice, but I'm guessing over half the people who try this will never figure out how to use it.
