Couple of days ago I wrote simple jsfl (my first) script to automate the process of moving library symbols with linkage id to main Timeline.
The reason: to show proper loading progress. Was doing it one by one for every project before: uncheck export in frame one, move to main timeline keyframe2.

Example uses also Event.MOUSE_LEAVE event to hide/remove custom cursor when mouse leaves flash display area(with combination of MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE to show back cursor).

Here is the example of easing, reusable preloader that I am using in some of my projects.
The general idea is to tween the loader bar to the next point instead of just jumping to it.
The easiest way to achieve that effect is using one of the tweening libraries. Continue reading ‘Easing preloader as3′
Update
Because of for dual screen Capabilities.screenResolutionX returns only size of main screen, setSize method is added in class.
You should set width and height in setBitmap and loadBitmap methods as well.
source files are updated.
Here is the simple class file that allows to set tile background in flash.
Background can be set from both flash IDE library (linkage) and from external path.
Using Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Capabilities.screenResolutionY we can set width and height of background to match the screen size and don’t care for resizing. Continue reading ‘Tile background in AS3′
