| ok...what the actual question is "how do you do a masked preloader?" for
starters i have no clue on how to mix both of those together. and second of all
i have no clue of where to begin trying to tween and mask and script to make
the masked preloader work.
And on fading/ other effects, "how do you do a sliding effect, but with the
masked effect?" For an example of my question go here

I really hope that these questions are clear enough now so i can finally learn
these things!

| I am still foggy on what you mean by "masked preloader" - i see a preloader - but what is the masked
part?

| the part where it's a picture loading in instead of a progress bar. i was told by the designer of the ecard and website that it was a masked preloader.

| I went here:
http://www.pointzerodesigns.com/
which is the url you provided - and the preloader on that site is a basic percentage preloader with
a progress bar and text field - i just don't see this "masked image" - and it definately is not part
of the preloader - can you be incredibly specific about the image you are referring to - perhaps at
this point a screen shot with arrow?
And since it seems you contacted the author of the site - were you able to get any additional info?

| Here is a great tutorial on building your own preloader.

I have to agree with mudbubble (as if there were any question, ha) in that I
don't see anything special about the preloader. The masking I do see is in the
logo that loads after the preloader. If the logo is an Movie Clip there is a
special process to masking a MovieClip. Look up MovieClip.setMask() in the AS
dictionary for examples.

I am not be sure, what you like, anyway i am sendind the preload clip and look
in this layer1 and frame 1 , one click in the stage (there is the movie), and
active your "action panel" before,
in this panel will be the action script (it said that the preload is active
and will go to frame 2 when it finish), you need place in frame 2 (layer 2 your
clip) also you can use and create more layers buy is necessary to start this
from frame 2
If you double click in the stage (in layer 1, frame 1) you can see a clip
(second or sub- timeline ) in this clip you can change the logos or anything
that you like, look that in the last frame in the layer 1, it go to color alpha
0, it change in properties panel, option color for FADEOUT effect
check this movie and write me if you have some problem or more inquire

| also check the code (actionscript)
onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int( loaded / total * 100);
text = "Loaded " + percent + "%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
also you can download the preload file from:
