General Preloader Question

Question

Would someone be able to give me a basic example of using a
preloader with the UILoader? Basically, I have a movieclip of a
rotating circle that I would like to use as a preloader for the
UILoader. Thanks in advance for any help!

if uiL is your UILoader instance, you can use:

uiL.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressF);

uiL.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeF);

uiL.load(new URLRequest("whatever.jpg"));

function progressF(event:ProgressEvent):void {

// do whatever

var uiLdr:UILoader = UILoader(event.currentTarget);

trace(Math.round(uiLdr.percentLoaded) + "% Loaded");

}

function completeF(event:Event):void {

// remove your loading display

uiL.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressF);

uiL.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeF);

}
