Windows 7-like Loading Animation

I want a simple loading bar to display while I am loading an html web page. I want something similar to the look and feel of the animation that shows while windows in preparing to copy files (before it starts the percentage loader).

Windows 7 Loader

Can't use an animated gif, cause gifs freeze when the browser is overloaded. However, if anyone knows of a gif similar to the loader above, I will be willing to look at it. I have already made a javascript loading animation, but when other large scripts are running, the animation freezes.

This is why I would like to find one in flash. I am not a flash programmer, I code javascript. I just need a simple repeating flash loading animation similar to the one shown. I do not want a percentage to be shown. I have googled it for quite sometime now with no luck.

The answer with the best flash loading animation will be the solution. Thanks for your help. I am still googling...

Solution

  • Well since you care so much for the vista loader....I have edited ur image itself into a flash animation. Used no codes, as you do not prefer them. Modify it as you like.

    Edit:

    I have tinkered that (left to right animation) bit for you. Here is the preview.
