A very cool effect on movies,films and application caused by the aging of the actual reels.Copy below codes to the first frame,the dynamic progress status of loading will be displayed,when loading completly the application will be run automatically.

1. stop ();
2. _root . createTextField ( "myload_txt" , 1 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 );
3. with ( _root . myload_txt ) { //set text
4. background = true ; // background
5. backgroundColor = 0x336699 ;
6. textColor = 0xFFFFFF ;
7. type = "dynamic"
8. selectable = false ;
9. autoSize = "center" ;
10. _x = Stage.width/2;
11. _y = Stage.height/2;
12. }
13. onEnterFrame = function () {
14. var Loaded = _root . getBytesLoaded ();
15. var Total = _root . getBytesTotal ();
16. _root . myload_txt . text = Math . floor (( Loaded / Total )* 100 )+ "%" ;
17. if ( Loaded == Total ) {
18. onEnterFrame = null ;
19. removeMovieClip ( _root . myload_txt );
20. play ();

   Great tip – I think I know the effect you’re on about but have you got an example?
