Preloader

[muadib2000]

Hi,

ist there any possibility to change the preloader style. Sorry but all I haf seen was the ugly one with the loadstatus of anvery pict that ist loaded.

I'm thinking of spending some money to use your gerat tool, but as a designer this preloader is to bad for me and my customers.

So again is there any posibility to change the style or to create own ones using flash?

regards

Yes. Preloader is customizable. I'm going to make a simple tutorial to explain it a little later, short hint as a preview, add this strings to your pano.xml to add "Loading total:" line in the preloader:
<param name="loaderText" value="%3Ctextformat%20tabstops%3D%27300%27%3E%3Cfont%20f ace%3D%27Arial%27%20size%3D%2740%27%20color%3D%27% 23%240%27%3ELoading%20front%3A%09%241%0DLoading%20 right%3A%09%242%0DLoading%20back%3A%09%243%0DLoadi ng%20left%3A%09%244%0DLoading%20up%3A%09%245%0DLoa ding%20down%3A%09%246%0DLoading%20total%3A%09%247% 3C%2Ffont%3E%3C%2Ftextformat%3E" />
<param name="loaderTextFailed" value="failed" />
<param name="loaderTextDenied" value="deneid" />

(text is "escaped" in value).
Use this snippet to disable loader:
<param name="loaderText" value="" />
I will expllain it more detailed later.
