Flash- preloader that draws

[jonathanhou]

If anyone could tell me how to create a preloader that draws a picture and then fills it in rather than a normal preloader, I would greatly appreciate it.

For example, one that draws a cake and then fills it in with color.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

By the way, I have Flash MX Pro 2004.

You can use the drawing API to do it on runtime (actionscript) or you can make the animation yourself traditionally.

The easy way is to animate it yourself, in your example animate the "drawing" of a cake and then use a mask layer to fill it with color.

What I am really trying to accomplish is something like this (http://www.teamone-usa.com/) (after you click enter), but with a cake instead of a tree.
