People hating waiting. And seeming that nothing is happening is worse than anything to someone who is waiting.
One solution is to create a preloader. The preloader lets the end user know how much of the Flash project has downloaded, and how much is left to download.
This tutorial is a simple process for creating a Flash preloader if you are using Action Script 3 (AS3).

Assistant Professor
Walter Wimberly is an Assistant Professor at a regional college in Tennessee, teaching Computer Science in the Software Engineering track. He works as a student advisor, oversees curriculum changes, develops new courses, and manages the advisory panel.
Walter taught full time for about 7 years, before going back into “industry” as a full stack Software Developer for a dozen years. There he focused on web based projects coding in JavaScript/jQuery and utilizing the Bootstrap CSS Framework on the front-end, and coding in PHP, ASP/ASP.Net, SQL on the back-end.
Since he loves teaching, he taught as an adjunct web and digital media classes for eight (8) years, while working in industry, and has since returned to teaching full time.
He has been married for over 25 years, and is father to several special needs boys. As such, he is working on some projects to help others who have special needs to be self-sufficient, and support the care givers of those with special needs. Check out his Autism blog for more info.
Along with other Java collections, there is a Linked List. You will want to use a parameterized constructor to work easier with Java Linked List. As a linked list, it has container elements which will store the data and allow you to navigate through it. We saw many of the methods used for a Linked…
An insertion sort is a bit of a special case. It assumes that you will be given a set of values over time, and as you get them, you will insert the value into its correct location based upon the given values. Depending upon the data, and size, you could utilize different types of sort,…
In this section we’re going to look at how to perform some basic animations in Flutter to help enhance our UI (User Interface). The Flutter SDK provides you with some built-in animations which you can use to perform actions such as fading, sliding, and resizing. The animation system in Flutter is based on typed Animation objects. Widgets…
If our data is pre-sorted then a binary search starts to make a lot of sense. It is like the guessing game we mentioned earlier where you need to find a number between 1 and 100. No one asks for 1, then 2, then 3… until they find it. Instead we ask for the mid…
After a Constant Time Algorithm, and the Logarithmic Algorithms, the linear algorithm, often referred to as an O(n) algorithm in the Big O notation, is the next fastest. When an algorithm has a time complexity of O(n) the algorithm increases linearly with the size of the input. Inputs are often thought of as an array,…
In C++ there are two ways to process strings. C-Strings which are an array of characters terminated by a null character, or the C++ style string object. The string class hides the details of how the string is stored from the user – remember one of the tasks of a class is to abstract the…
