Title: Delay Timer in a Preloader
On the fastest connection my preloader goes way to fast... I want to slow it down so the viewer can read the directions on the preloader. I DO NOT want a button.
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("123.swf");
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.load(myRequest);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,showPreloader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,showProgress);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showContent);
var myPreloader:Preloader = new Preloader();
function showPreloader(event:Event):void {
myPreloader.x = (stage.stageWidth /2);
myPreloader.y = (stage.stageHeight /2);
addChild(myPreloader);
}
function showProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;
myPreloader.progress_txt.text = "Loading - " + Math.round(percentLoaded * 100) + "%";
myPreloader.image_mc.width = 198 * percentLoaded;
if (percentLoaded>99){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
function showContent(event:Event):void {
MovieClip(myLoader.content).gotoAndPlay(1);
removeChild(myPreloader);
addChild(myLoader);
}
stop();

to delay the preloading process create a timer for your delay time in your "showPreloader()" function and put a condition in "showContent()" function which checks if the timer is done then show the content . So if the content loads before the timer say 30 seconds then the content will not be show up by "showContent" function but by the timer function on time complete . Let me know if you have any problem implementing code

here is the code to delay you preloader. the code below will take care that the content must show up atleast after 20 seconds . If content loads after 20 seconds then content will show up by preloader show content function but if preloader is fast then it will show only after 20 sec
var timer:Timer;
var loadingComplete:Boolean;
var timerComplete:Boolean;
function showPreloader(event:Event):void {
myPreloader.x = (stage.stageWidth /2);
myPreloader.y = (stage.stageHeight /2);
addChild(myPreloader);
//timer 20 sec
timer = new Timer(20000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timer_timer);
timer.start();
}
function timer_timer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
//20 seconds passed
timerComplete=true;
//if preloader is already finished then show content
if(loadingComplete){
MovieClip(myLoader.content).gotoAndPlay(1);
removeChild(myPreloader);
addChild(myLoader);
}
}
function showContent(event:Event):void {
//preloader finished
loadingComplete=true;
//if preloader completes after timer complete then show content
if(timerComplete){
MovieClip(myLoader.content).gotoAndPlay(1);
removeChild(myPreloader);
addChild(myLoader);
}
}

also stop the timer in timer_timer() function using timer.stop() so that it does not keeps on running
