How to do the "LOADING" thing in a Flash intro?

[Comp625]

Hello,

I have Flash 6 and I made a decent flash introduction but it takes a little long to load. So I was wondering, how do I make the "Loading" Progress Bar that so many intros have. Can someone please point me to a tutorial or tell me how to do this please? Thanks a bunch!

Wrong forum or not, head to flashkit.com, download one of the example loading movies and open it up to see how it works. Essentially it just keeps checking to see if a certain frame is loaded yet (like, say, 3/4 of the way through the intro), and if it isn't it keeps displaying the loading animation. If the frame is loaded, it automagically sends you on to the first frame of the intro.
