Need help with a Preloader in FLASH CS3...

so building portfolio site in flash cs3 , have pretty running except can't preloader work.

here script have far:

//load random background

var randomnumber:number = math.ceil(math.random()*10);

trace(randomnumber);

bkgdimage.source = "images/bkgd"+randomnumber+".jpg";
var myalphatween:tween = new tween(bkgdimage, "alpha", regular.easeout, 0, 2, 1, true);
bkgdimage.addeventlistener(progressevent.progress, largeimagepreloader);
function largeimagepreloader(eventrogressevent):void {
var percent:number = math.round((event.bytesloaded*100)/event.bytestotal);
percent_txt.text = percent + "%";
bkgdimage.addeventlistener(event.complete, fadein);

function fadein(e:event):void {


}
}

happens after background image loads, percentage still stays there , won't go away. prefer have preloader start before loaded on page.

crossbar, , 4 buttons load first, background loading afterwards. can me out?

click expand...

can assume correctly code bring in crossbar, text, etc within fadein function? because if not, thats problem right there.

otherwise, looks should work, have couple ideas of other things try.

1. pre-loading background first doesn't make lot of sense. makes more sense animate site way want it, slap preloader on that.

2. instead of using event.complete try if statement, instance:

if(percent != 100{
"preload background";
}else if(percent == 100){
"load background...then load other stuff";
}

3. use loader object instead bring in background

var myurlrequest:urlrequest = new urlrequest("/file/to/my/image");
var loader:loader = new loader(myurlrequest);
addchild(loader);


lastly, reason pre-loader text isn't going away because haven't told when so.
need call "removechild("percent_text")" off screen. also, general tip, helpful keep things neatly spaced out, had little bit of trouble following code @ first.

had few thoughts on site itself:
- noticed "about me" button doesn't bigger when hover mouse on other buttons.
- also, since you're trying promote professional, having huge ad @ top saying you're getting free hosting, kinda ridiculous since hosting cheap begin with.
-finally, try keep font choice consistent. did use comic sans buttons? thats big no-no in art world!
