How do I tell setInterval to start calculating the time after the image is being fully loaded? (That's because some of my images take about 3 seconds to load) var IntervalID = setInterval(myShow, 10000);
View 1 Replies[URL] In the movie linked above, the first two menu items trigger a menu to come out on the right side. Right now, it's the same menu (content wise), but the effect is still the same.
Here's my problem: If you let one of the menu's fully load before mousing over the next item, it works fine. However, if you mouse over the next link before the menu is fully loaded, you, the interval starts to snowball, and the menu's won't load fully any longer. The period the menu is down gets shorter and shorter the faster you go between the links.
I mentioned in my last thread, this is *not* the way I really want to handle the menu rolling up, becuase it's a hack/klooge - it's just not the best way. However, in light of me not knowing a better way to actually trigger the next menu once the first menu is rolled up, setting an interval seems to be the closest thing to what I want.
Does anyone have a loading solution that allows for loading swf's, jpegs and is fully customizable? My duct tape solution had been to have loaders in every swf that i was planning to load in- but this feels silly. I've tried a couple of components from the adobe exchange but they lacked a bit of elegance. Whether it's a class or example file- I just want to be able to smoothly load content into the parent- where the loader also resides.
View 2 RepliesI have a pre-loader with dynamic loading text displaying the % of movie loaded. I also have an animated loading bar which goes from left to right.Is there a way of making the loading bar only be fully loaded at 100% an only half full at 50% etc. At the moment the loading bar movie clip plays until loaded and then starts all over again if the movie hasn?t loaded yet.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);

I'm actually an artist who happened to stumble on flash and have been subsidizing my income with animation projects for some time.My question, query, bane of my existence is the automation of my e-cards.Many many people ask how they can send my cards. Up to now I have been manually customizing cards. whew.I would like to make the .swf files fully automated so people can fill out the "to, from, text message" and e-mail a notice to a customized animation.Is there a generic code I can cut and paste? Beyond basic html code,(seen on my site)
View 3 RepliesI am making my website by loading each of the external pages in to the main swf file. I've used a tutorial and it manages to load all of the correct pages when the corresponding button is pressed, however I can tell that the Unload isn't working because each page has audio and I can hear them playing over the top of each other when I navigate through the pages.
Here's the code.
Code:
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number = 102;
var pageSWF:MovieClip;

I'm using a preload function with the Movie Clip Loader. Everything works like it should except the external swf's will play before they are fully loaded. At first I only had one frame in each swf, and they wouldn't show up until 100%. Then i added some animations, and now they play out at around 60% loaded.
I know I can fix it with stop() on the first frame and tell it to play after 100%, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or is it something common with MCL and i just wasn't aware of it.

View 1 RepliesI built a pretty simple Flash movie for a client and put a preloader on frame 1. The preloader works fine then the movie plays. What is happening is if you go to another page on the site and then go back to the home page all you see is the preloader bar fully loaded but the movie doesn't play. You have to refresh the page for the swf to play again. It is doing it to me in Firefox but not IE 8 and it is doing it in IE8 on my clients computer...
Here is the code.
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void{ var loaded:Number = e.target.bytesLoaded; var total:Number = e.target.bytesTotal; var pct:Number = loaded/total; loader_mc.scaleX = pct; loaded_txt.text="Loading..." + (Math.round(pct * 100)) + "%";}function onComplete(e:Event):void { gotoAndPlay(2);}
Here is a screen cap of what is happening. After you go back to the homepage all you see is the rpeloader bar fully loaded without the load text.
i used URLStream object to load an image file progressively by reading it into a bytearray
My code is very much similar to that atthe problem that i got is a very rare problem i.e. it occurs very rarelythe problem is that sometimes the image does not get fully displayed even after event.complete of the urlstream object.(the last packet of image data is not shown);i used a timer with delay 100ms after the event.complete event to address this issue for the time being.

I am using a NetStream to stream a video file from anywhere. The NetStream is NOT connected to any server. Here is the code:
// Create new connection and stream
_netCon = new NetConnection();
_netCon.connect(null);
[Code]....
This basically works, of course, but the video always starts playing only when it is fully loaded. It also passes the metadata only then. But the main reason to use a NetStream is so that you can play a video BEFORE it is fully loaded.
I tried playing around with the bufferTime property, but to no avail. Also made sure that there is no caching involved when loading the video. I always load a "new one" by adding some "?bla=date" value behind the url.
Is it possible that the "real" streaming only works when really connected to a server? Or am I missing something else?
I have Movie that has a preloader on the 1st Frame and then on the 2nd Frame a swf is loaded using this script.[code]This loads my test_1.swf into the test_1 mc inside the cc mc.This all works fine.... However what I want to know is how to only gotoAndPlay ("3") after the test_1.swf has been fully loaded?The idea I'm working with is that... an initial swf (simply an image with a preloader - test_1) would load into the background when the swf is started and then a menu would appear in frame 3 that would allow the user to replace the background swf with button clicks..... But at the moment the menu on frame 3 is loading before the background swf is loaded.

View 0 RepliesI'm having a strange problem while preloading external swfs. I have about 6 external swfs that load whenever their respective button is clicked. Each swf will have a short animation that builds the page. Initially, i was testing the swfs with the full page assembled on frame 1.
Everything worked as it should until i started building the animations. Now, instead of the animation starting when the swf is fully loaded, it starts when the preloader is around 60%. This happens everytime at 60%. If I take the animation off and go back to 1 frame, it shows up when it's supposed too, at 100% loaded. I thought i could get around it by putting a stop on the first frame and telling the swf to play with onLodInit(), but it still shows up early with the stop() on frame 1. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this weird problem?
I have a drawing effect animation (around 200 frames) which is in a movieclip within a movieclip (_level2?). When I run this swf I want the movieclip to start playing even if it is not fully downloaded, like it would if the animation frames were in the main timeline. How can I do this? At the moment it waits for the whole movieclip to download before it plays. I want it to start and play as it downloads.
View 4 RepliesIm trying to draw a bitmap of an dynamically loaded image via xml, and ofcourse i'd like to apply smoothing to my images, as my page resizes with the browser and creates a mess.
The images are loaded with a timer event, which fires every 200ms, and each time this occurs, I'd like to quickly draw the bitmapdata of the image so i can apply the smoothing.
My problem that im having is that the images aren't completely loaded when I run the draw method and so im left with a white box instead.
Currently im using:
Code:
function itemHandler(event:Event):void
{
loadThumbs(event);
thumbLoader.unload();

I have a question that is a bit tricky. Why I want to do this is becouse I need such a dynamic solution as posible with fast downloadtime.
- I have a host file that schould preload child files (this is to display what I can load visual).
- In the child files library i have a clip ready to be exportet (it's exported in first frame)
- when my host noticed that the childs second frame is loaded I want to grab the clip from the childs library and attach it in the host. (after this it will load nextone e.g.)
Is it not posible to get childrens exportet library clips? (have tried to load whole child clip before trying to grab the clip).
