ok, we're developing this flash site. The graphic design wad done by an "art director" who just works with press projects....
And now she told us to remove the loading bar between during the file loading, cause "isn't pretty!!

So come up with a cool idea for the loader, convince her that it was hers, and tell her how "pretty" her idea is.
- Jaline0
she's right
- Fariska0
NO
- Jaline0
add some flowers and bows
- joyride0
punch her in the clacker!
- Fariska0
oh.. they are still there... in the Intro!

I just have a thing against loaders that take forever or don't look nice. Maybe it's a girl thing.

i think its better to be informed something is happening.
just tell most users will piss off if they dont see something happening.
jaline - would you rather see nothing and wait for the swf to load? than be told whats happening?

put an outline of her on the screen and as the loader completes render it as a full color picture of herself. She won't dare say it's not pretty, because then shes calling herself not pretty. Solution solved!

I completely agree, Undo. It would both me even more if I wasn't told about something. So either make it faster or make it nicer.

Her answer: remove the loadbar!
- UndoUndo0
hmmm....

tell her to art idrect a loader.

check ou this "loader"
Not a "bar", still lets you know something's happening, and it's designed well (=pretty)
just the first one that I saw, there are much cooler ones out there.

how's about the words loading with a blinking period after, or if you really want to get tricky, use an underscore.
- Jaline0
on average, how long does it take to load?

(May 24 06, 08:25)haha... careful how you word things. I'm laughing at all the posible answers to this one... hehe
- Jaline0
haha, well it's obvious as to what I mean. Even the title of this thread is 'loader'.
- Fariska0
thanks for the suggestions, i will figure it out tomorrow (and the answer will be: the loader stays, but you can go art directing the traffic jams)

Don't do a loader bar. Do something different, like a flower blossoming and have the words loading she will suck you off like a good un if you did that. Alternatively do a nicer loader ber perhaps your loader bar was shite?...
