Loading bars are easy to create, you simply create a box and modify the x2 coordinate of the box according the the percentage.

Example:

Box 0, Screen Height() - 20, Screen Width() * ( Percent / 100 ), Screen Height()

When Percent is a value from 1-100

well, using the code above you can use



Everytime a picture is loaded i would increase the percent by ten because theres only tem images..

That would inrease the length of the box by the percentage..

i hope that satisfys your needs..

You can't add X to "Hello". You have to convert it to a string with Str$() first.

I've made a few but I don't recall posting just a loading bar snippet, but as people have said, it's quite easy to make one. Why not make a loading bar image and tell us how you want it to look, then we can show you how to make it.

I did make a loader example, it's not a bar, more like the loading screen in Halo:
