Maybe someone knows how to create preloader like in this example:

I think, it’s some default component of flash player or FlexSDK…

I don’t see any preloaders on that site. Can you please elaborate on what you want to achieve?

I believe I saw the Flash native standard preload progress bar.
That is part of Flash Player and shown automatically once a large *.swf file is loaded and taking its sweet time. However, it does not show any figures, such as percentage or totals or speeds.

Alex, are you sure? I have never seen a native Flash Player loading bar, and I really doubt that there is one. Maybe it was the Flex loading bar (which is always used in Flex applications.) It used to look like this, but I’m not sure if that’s what it still looks like in Flex 4.x: http://techfeed.net/images/flexLoading.png

If that’s the loading bar you’re seeing, the answer is that it shows up automatically if you are building your application as a Flex application (with a mx.core.Application as a base class).

Sort of. I’m positive that it’s not the flex loading bar the png shows, but couldn’t say where it actually comes from. I also only noticed it very randomly and not very often.

But now that I load the preloader example of Indica again, it in fact is the Flex preloader =)

Maybe I’m completely confused, not enough coding going on atm ... =)
