Custom Loadng

I resently got Flash and was wondering, would it be possible to have a custom preloader that you can make, including the defult scratch loader? This would be nice as possibly a more accurate percentage could be shown while loading, aswell as a nice animation. Of corse the standered loader would count as a standered, but with the adition of a custom one it would look so much better

Re: Custom Loadng

Having a big bloated loader would just slow it down, and you would need to have another loader to load the main loader.

Re: Custom Loadng

That would be a good idea, Do you mean a very simple animation at the start to stop alll the huge loading just for a loader?

Thank you sir  wink

Maybe if we had the option of choosing the color of the loading bar?

WRONG. He is saying he wants to design his own, so you can replace the boring one we have now.

What does that have to do with anything? I was expecting a gallery with custom loader designs.

There is a difference between a thread and a forum.

No, I think he means to customize the one we already have. I think it would be possible if you knew how to hack it (but it would take forever). For now, I think we should wait until someone in the Scratch Team comes along.

The loading bar is put there by the scratch player which is on MIT's servers. So you can't change it unless you change the player on the servers.
