Pulsing Circular Preloader

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:04:38 +0000

I have created another preloader and had it approved for sale on ActiveDen. It is a Pulsing Circular preloader, and its has a few really nice features I worked on. For one its really easy to use, all you have to do is just drag and drop the preloader movieclip to your flash file, its really easy to customize and change the colors, also there is a variable in the actionscript that you can changes the amount of time its displayed for and how many times it circles before showing the loaded content. Also, I made it so this moveclip is centered on the stage vertically and horizontally at all times, even if the browser window is resized. Click the image below to view its animation.

Mechanical Futuristic Preloader

I have added another item to my ActiveDen Portfolio, it is a Mechanical Futuristic Preloader. It is really easy to use, just drag and drop the movieclip into your flash file. A version for both AS2 and AS3 are included, and there is a special variable that allows the user to display it for a certain amount of time before loading the content. Also it allows the user to control how many times the parts of the movieclip to rotate. If it doesn’t look very smooth its because my flash file in the header of the page is a memory hog, you can go to the activeDen page to see it run as it should.

I have recently created a Flash template that is integrated with the WordPress backend. Click the image above to be redirected to the preview and see the flash file in action. I have added it to my activeDen Portfolio for sale. This Portfolio Template is perfect for anyone wanting to display their latest featured work. It automatically updates itself by getting the information from your wordpress RSS Feed (You can even link it to a particular Category).

I have talked about WordPress Flash Integration before in several tutorials showing you how to do it, here are links to those:
Update: WordPress and Flash Integration part I (AS2)
Update: WordPress and Flash Integration part II (AS3)
Update: WordPress and Flash Integration part III (AS3)

If you don’t have a wordpress blog, a sample XML file is included that you can use. This template is very easy to use, easy to setup, and easy to customize. Here are some of its’ features:

Includes 3 Skins: Dark, Light, and Colored. Or you can customize the look and feel of it very easily
Includes Contact Form with error checking
