Hey /f/, how do you force flash to simulate loading to show a preloader?
IIRC there was a way to do it.

In this flash, you can just right click and hit "rewind". But that's not guaranteed to work for
all flashes.

you mean while testing it inside the adobe flash cs6?

this is just a gist of it
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad)
function preLoad(e:Event):void
{
var bytestoLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var numberLoaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
if (bytestoLoad == numberLoaded)
{
gotoAndPlay(2);
stage.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad);
}

You can run a local webserver to serve the swf, and then throttle the bandwidth. I have a really
shitty python script for this.

I think that was an actual feature of the flash projector.
You held a key and the projector simulated loading.

Try ALT+F4

Pretty sure what you are thinking of is the special "preview" flash player that comes with for
example Flash Professional CS6 (and earlier). There you can simulate downloading the flash at
different speeds. It was a useful feature that they removed in Adobe Flash Professional CC 2015
because I guess they didn't think download speeds were an issue by then. (?)
There is a "debug" flash projector but as far as I know it does not come with that feature. You
can grab the "Flash Player projector content debugger" from here until the end of the year:
https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html
Unless Adobe takes down their downloads early, wouldn't surprise me.

When I select Control>Test Movie>Test there is the feature you mention. https://i.imgur.com/K

But when I start the debugger that comes with Flash CS6 by itself (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Flash CS6\Players\Debug\FlashPlayerDebugger.exe) it's not available.
I wonder if there is a way to use this feature outside of Adobe Flash.

if you are just using the player, there is no good way
I usually put it on a network cache that I own cause that has a slight loading time the first time
alternatively just upload somewhere
if you are creating it it's easy
just go to "test movie" (ALT+ENTER)
then on the flash preview go to network simulator or whatsitcalled (ALT+ENTER again)
then it opens the flash preview again with the loader bar at the top, in the menue you can switch
settings like download speed, etc.
