Using a Custom Preloader in Catalyst

Posted by bear

A common request for Catalyst is the ability to customize the preloader that displays while the main swf is loading. I've tweaked some FXP's and FXPL's to simplify the process of modifying the preloader in Catalyst.

For an example, click the image below.

Day 12: Tab Navigator Component

Posted by bear

And one more makes twelve! Hurray!

This component is pretty simple, buttons 1-10 that, when clicked, navigate through pages 1-10. They also disable the button for the current page, so the component acts like a combination of a tab bar and content. The bonus here is not having to wire up all those "On Click > Go To State > When In State" interactions for each button.

Click on the image for a preview.

The FXP is available here.
