AS3 Tutorial - Bitmap Based Preloader
 Posted by Phil Chung on September 15, 2008 5:43 PM | Permalink | Comments (5)

Our resident Senior Flash developer, Kingston, has written a detailed tutorial on how to create a preloader while also applying knowledge of BitmapData and Tween classes. Kingston has taught Flash at various technical institutes so he understands how to transfer his knowledge in a way that's easy to understand.

I'm not denying it's cool, but surely having a preloader that takes up 100% CPU is pretty bad form.

Will,

I tested it again, and my CPU usage never jumps over 26% (it only goes that high after the image has been preloaded and you view the preloader again - at that point, all of the pixels move into place at the same time).

Very cool, nice work!
One thing though, I think it would be a lot faster if it used TweenLite instead...

i need help
i wish to learn actionscript
but i don't any thing the flash i wish any one direction me from where i start ((send me my mail))
thank you all

looks great but my cpu was screaming at 140 - 150% on 2 tries.
