Re: [Flashcoders] Fake Preloading
What happens when your client wants a pretty preloader, and he wants it to play out entirely, but there is nothing to preload, and you have indicated it to him a thousand times? Everything is generated by code, and the file size is less than 40k. I can fake a preloader animation; however, it seems pointless to do so, it causes an increase the file size, and if I use his graphics, I will need a preloader for his preloader. When did preloaders become cool? I have always thought of them as an annoyance to the user, to be used as a transition only when motion cannot be constant. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

You tell him that's not a preloader it's a transition :) Anthony Pace wrote: What happens when your client wants a pretty preloader, and he wants it to play out entirely, but there is nothing to preload, and you have indicated it to him a thousand times?

RE: [Flashcoders] Fake Preloading
Just gotta say, that's hilarious! I guess you just make a stupid little animation that appears for a second. Funny that the client doesn't get it.
