DO NOT USE THE ABOVE. TYPO.. Here is the correct code:

import net.stevensacks.preloaders.CircleSlicePreloader;

var preloader:CircleSlicePreloader = new CircleSlicePreloader();
preloader.x = 150;
preloader.y = 100;

addChildAt(preloader,0);

this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);

function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;

percent_loaded.text=int(percent)+"%";
}

I added the % loaded below the loader by creating a dynamic text box on stage with an instance name of "percent_loaded". Then, changed the code to this:

import net.stevensacks.preloaders.CircleSlicePreloader;

var preloader:CircleSlicePreloader = new CircleSlicePreloader();
preloader.x = 150;
preloader.y = 100;

addChildAt(preloader,0);

this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);

function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;

perc_loaded.text=int(percent)+"%";
}

Again, thank you for this code Steven.

This is great! Thank you so much. Is there any way to add a dynamic text box below the loader that shows the % loaded?

Thank you! It is simple and useful. I passed with a color parameter:

var preload:CircleSlicePreloader=new CircleSlicePreloader(12, 6, 0xFF0000);

//on the constructor:

private var color:uint
public function CircleSlicePreloader(slices:int, radius:int, color:uint)
{…

this.color = color;

…
}

// and for the slice creation:

private function getSlice():Shape
{
…

slice.graphics.beginFill(color);

…
}

I don`t know if I made it clear…
Thanks again.

Steven,
I wrote you on Twitter (@gasi) but you've probably missed it. I love this spinner and I was wondering under which license it can be used?
Cheers,
Daniel
