the image you're wanting changing, what's that?<br />
<br />
I've not used the component in question, but i suspect it will be much easier to build your own preloader, simply put the usual loading bar into a mask layer. <br />
<br />
the percentage feature is a little bit of simple maths.<br />
if you're using getBytesTotal, and getBytesLoaded,<br />
<br />
simply divide the loaded by the total, multiply by 100 and that will give you a percentage.<br />

I'm using the percentage value to dynamically scale the preloader bar, but I want to use the bar as a transition mask layer that makes the forst layer transparent, and gradually peels away the first image to reveal the second.

Hi Gurus!<br />
<br />
I'm looking for a preloader which actually uses the expanding progress bar component as a mask to gradually expand upwards, changing one image into another as the movie loads, I'd also like this preloader to feature the percentage number.<br />
<br />
Can anyone guide me to a tutorial for such a preloader, or advise me how I might go about making one?<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
<br />
Luke
