Well I dont know how others do it but here's how I do.
First lets start with creating the script for loading and going to the next scene upon complettion:
Thats all there is to it as far as scripting goes. Simple, huh?
- Now creat a movie clip (instance name: progressbar) and inside it make your progress bar with a width of 100px and set the x value position to 0(zero).
- Duplicate the layer.
- Set the top layer to mask by right clicking and selecting mask from the options.
- On the top layer set the x value position of the bar mask to 100.
- Convert the bar to a movie clip and give it an instance name of bar.
- Done.
Basically what is going on is; the variable c is counting from 0-100
so the script is going to make sure that the _x value of the bar stays equal to c thereby causing the position of the bar to move smoothly from 0-100
Please note: I wrote this lil tut without refering to my Flash App so if I left out anything...Just holla, peace.

Code: [ Select ]
// math formula for converting bytes into kb and finding the percentage between loaded and total
a = getBytesLoaded();
b = getBytesTotal();
// equals percent
c = ((a/1024)*100)/(b/1024);
if (a==b) {
nextScene();
}
// or gotoAndPlay(scene, 1);
//This controls the progress bar
setProperty (progressbar.bar, _x, c)
a = getBytesLoaded();
b = getBytesTotal();
// equals percent
c = ((a/1024)*100)/(b/1024);
if (a==b) {
nextScene();
}
// or gotoAndPlay(scene, 1);
