Answer / uday

Preloader is used for load the full swf file in the
computer's memory. And then play the swf file. By this
process any heavy swf file will play smoothly.

we can use preloading functionality on the first frame as:
stop();
this.onEnterFunction = function(){
percent = (_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100;
if(percent==100){
play()
}

Answer / chiranjeevi

Generally Flash will load starting from Frame one.
If we have animations and scripts then A flash which loads
without a preloader will move through frames immediately
when they load. In this way flash run with glitches and the
actions in the frames cannot access objects on the stage of
that frame as frame loads first with actions and objects
next[this i have faced in many experiments]. so Even the
code is correct it will malfunction.

For this purpose we use preloader to stop the movie in the
first frame and check the progress of the loading of entire
move. Once the loading is finished it is OK to go.

the default var used in preloader are
bytesLoaded
bytesTotal
More we create a var which we name it as 'per' to calculate
the percent loaded. once it reaches 100 which means it is
loaded.

Answer / dinesh anand

Preloder is the thing which say the total size of the flash
file and how much has been loaded in ur system.
The var used in it should be a number.
example
var totalbyteNumber=_root.getBytesTotal() ;
var byteloaded:Number_root.getBytesLoaded();

what is use of preloader? What are the diff var use for creating preloaders?..

Answer / saad khabir

Pre-loader is normally used to display the info about how
much of the swf file has been loaded and how much left.
Sometimes (depending on your application) your flash behave
erroneously although your code is correct because of the swf
file not loaded completely so pre-loader stops the execution
of the flash until it loads completely to work properly.
There are two ways to implement pre-loader:
1- Using code in the first frame which stops execution until
whole swf file is loaded.
2- Using another swf file to work as pre-loader which loads
actual swf file within itself.
