[3-in-1 Preloader Tutorial]

There's a WAY easier way you could do this

By using _xscale: check this out:
1)make a bar-shaped movieclip
2)make the bar's outline
3)put this code in the bar:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()
total = _root.getBytesTotal()
_xscale = (loaded/total)*100
if(_xscale >= 100){
//whatever you want it to do once its done
}
}
THAT way you dont have to make 100 frames, flash just scales the bar automatically.

Yes, I use that way now, thanks.

[3d Tutorial]

expected more

thats basically just doing the whole 3-d thing frame by frame, i was hoping something more to do with actionscript so you dont have to draw in 40 frames of rotated sides. I mean thats what flash is all about, right, letting you do less frame-by-frame and more code-oriented animation.

The-Mercenary responds:

well, this just makes the process alot easier, btw i didnt have flash mx back when I made this tut so I couldnt do anything 3d by code.
