Simple AS3 swf preloader using GreenSock's LoaderMax.

• GreenSock's LoaderMax library.
• My personal AS3 utility library.
• This "navigate to URL" utility class.

Add the above packages to your classpath.

• "swf"

  Path to loaded SWF file.

• "link"

  Link to visit when clicked.

  Default is no link.

• "window"

  • "_self" specifies the current frame in the current window.
  • "_blank" specifies a new window.
  • "_parent" specifies the parent of the current frame.
  • "_top" specifies the top-level frame in the current window.

  Default is _self.

• "loader"

  Hex color of loader graphic.

  Default is #ffffff.

Javascript (using SWFObject):

<script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
        var flashvars = {
            swf: 'child.swf',
            link: 'http://www.google.com',
            loader: '#FFFFFF',
            window: '_self'
        };
        var params = {
            scale: 'noscale',
            menu: 'false',
            bgcolor: '#000000',
            allowscriptaccess: 'always'
        };
        var attributes = {}
        swfobject.embedSWF('loader.swf', 'hd', '630px', '320px', '9.0.115.0', false, flashvars, params, attributes);
    //-->
</script>

HTML:

<div id="hd"></div>

• Show percent loaded.
• Make preloader graphic "grow" based on percentage loaded (currently just using looping movieclip).
• Fade out preloader graphic before showing loaded SWF.
• Make code more modular?

• v1.0: 2011/05/05
