Hello,

I have problems with creating a preloader in Flash Builder 4, preloading the embedded swfs of the attached file. I want a progress bar to be shown and after loading all the embedded swfs, the progress bar is removed and the main scene appears.

Here the essential code sample
package
{
import away3d.cameras.Camera3D;
import away3d.containers.ObjectContainer3D;
import away3d.containers.Scene3D;
import away3d.containers.View3D;
import away3d.core.base.Mesh;
import away3d.core.geom.Path;
import away3d.core.utils.Cast;
import away3d.events.MouseEvent3D;
import away3d.loaders.Max3DS;
import away3d.materials.BitmapMaterial;
import away3d.materials.ColorMaterial;
import away3d.materials.EnviroBitmapMaterial;
import away3d.materials.MovieMaterial;
import away3d.modifiers.PathAlignModifier;
import away3d.primitives.Plane;
import away3d.primitives.TextField3D;
import away3d.sprites.MovieClipSprite;

import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.filters.ShaderFilter;
import flash.geom.Matrix3D;
import flash.geom.Vector3D;
import flash.utils.Timer;

import org.osmf.events.TimeEvent;

import wumedia.vector.VectorText;

Please help.
Thanks

The problem is embed files aren’t loaded, they are embedded (there’s a clue in the name! so they become a compiled part of the main swf.
I believe the standard Flex loading bar should suffice.

Good luck!
