I would suggest creating a container swf that will load the swishmax made movie externally. The idea here is that the container swf would use the MovieClipLoader class to load the movie externally and keep track of the progress while at it. The progress data will then be used to manage the loading bar's animation.

This is really the only way to do it since swishmax does not support custom scipting on its own.

I know its possible to create Loading Bar's within SwishMax - I just can't figure out how... Attached is the code I am using in SwishMax.
Open in New Window
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: |
onEnterFrame() {
myVar = percentLoaded();
percent = myVar+"%";
tellTarget (bar) {
gotoAndStop(myVar);
}
if (myVar >= 100) {
nextSceneAndPlay();
}
}
onFrame (1) {
prevFrameAndPlay();
}

Here are 2 screen shots.

A lot must've changed since the last time i tried swish products.. Anyway I found the tutorial that you were following and at least I managed to get the idea of what method you're trying to do. Some question to help find out what's wrong:
1.) Did you create the bar properly? As in did you do stretch the bar all the way to the maximum at the 100th frame? This is important since the bar's length will rely on this.
2.) Did you give a proper instance name for the loading bar? This is often times forgotten and a cause of scripting issues.
3.) Did you try loading the movie from the internet and not from the local hard disk? Loading from the hard disk is extremely fast so there's almost no time for the loading screen to show at all. Try putting it up some place like geocities and try downloading the flash page to see what's wrong.
Forgive me for asking such very simple and no-brainer questions but most of the scripting problems that people (including me) encounter involve something so simple that we'd feel very stupid after figuring it all out.

1. Yes, I did stretch the bar to frame 100. When I drag the playline back and forth over the frames within the "bar" movie, the bar grows and decreases accordingly.
2. Yes, I am pretty sure I got the loading bar instance right in both, as you can see in the screen shots and code, its simply named "bar".
3.Yes, I am testing the movie online, not on a hard disk.
Thank you for your help so far! I really need to figure this out...

Can you indicate exactly what's wrong? Is the preloader bar not moving? Is the percent text changing?

the bar doesn't move and then it suddenly moves onto the next seane... I think that it may just be because I have such fast internet access... I will be testing it soon on a slower connection.
Thank you.
Thank you.

It's best to test it on the slower connection because from what i can see, the tutorial is complete and should work when done correctly.
