G'Day Edward,
Heres my code for a preloader. I use the movieClipLoader for good call
backs and now onEnterFrame functions (sooo flash 5 ;))
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadingListener:Object = new Object();
mcl.addListener(loadingListener);
var target_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip(loadClipInstance, loadClipDepth);
loadingListener.onLoadStart = function(target:MovieClip) {
// starting load
};
loadingListener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip,
loadedBytes:Number, totalBytes:Number) {
progressBar._xscale = (loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100;
};
loadingListener.onLoadInit = function(target:MovieClip) {
// stuff is loaded
};
mcl.loadClip(loadClipPath, target_mc);
you can only test preloaders on a live website.. testing locally or
within flash will not work, so upload your stuff to a server and test it
out.
cheers

So you guys tell me that a single frame, single file site with a preloader 100% dynamic is pretty much impossible, ok i accept that. here is my external preloader, any ideas ... site loads, no progress appearance at all.
// begin code
// -------------------------
// text formats section
var format1_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
with (format1_fmt) {
color = 0xFFFFFF;
font = "swfitslim99";
size = 8;
};
// -------------------------
function preloader() {
// create movieclip to load swf in
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth() );
_root.target_mc.loadMovie("site.swf");
// draw preloader
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("preloader_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth() );
_root.preloader_mc.createTextField("preloader_txt", _root.getNextHighestDepth,
0, 0, 200, 20);
with (_root.preloader_mc.preloader_txt) {
embedFonts = true;
selectable = false;
setNewTextFormat(format1_fmt);
text = "LOADING SITE: 00"
};
_root.preloader_mc._x = (Stage.width/2) -
(_root.preloader_mc.preloader_txt._width/2);
_root.preloader_mc._y = (Stage.height/2) -
(_root.preloader_mc.preloader_txt._height/2);
// ---------
// preload
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
tBytes = _root.target_mc.getBytesTotal();
bLoaded = _root.target_mc.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.round((bLoaded/tBytes)*100);
if (bLoaded < tBytes) {
_root.preloader_mc.preloader_txt.text = "loading site: " + percent;
} else {
trace("completed loading!");
_root.preloader_mc.removeMovieClip();
_root.preloader_mc.preloader_txt.removeTextField();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
};
};
// -------------------------
preloader();
