I'm using the code below for my preloader. But the loader is seen after about 60% is being loaded. How can I make my preloader apperear instantly? (the swf is about 450kb)
loadingBar._xscale = 1;
var loadingCall:Number = setInterval(preloadSite, 50);
function preloadSite():Void {
var siteLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var siteTotal:Number = _root.getBytesTotal();

I'm working on a little project in Flex that's an application to upload images to a server. Since it's a pretty lightweight application (~40 kb in release version), I would like it to display instantly when the html page is loaded. But somehow there's a delay of up to 1-2 seconds before it shows up. I think it is a delay actually between the load and the display of the application, and I believe it could be removed.
how to shorten/remove the delay. First, I tried to disable the preloader, but this did nothing. There's actually a delay between a preloader shuts and the application displays (it is around 500 ms - 1 sec). My next guess was to write a custom preloader class to display at least an image of the application (even though it wouldn't be clickable, but at least something).

obviously it doesn't work because it's not the correct syntax but i wrote it for you to understand ..
how can i make something that add's a x number of frames to the actual timeline?
I'm using the AS3WavSound [URL] class to playback externally loaded wavs. This is working successfully. The library is simple and effective.
After decoding the Wav ByteArray the method the library employs for playback is using the SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA event and then writing the mixed samples to the output stream.
player.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, onSamplesCallback);
private function onSamplesCallback( evt : SampleDataEvent ):void
{
[Code]....
My problem is that I need to silence this audio output immediately but whatever method I have tried there is a distinct (1 second approx) delay before the silence takes effect.
As you can see I've attempted to add a boolean to block any samples being written to the output stream but this has had no effect on the delay.
My suspicion is that this is a fundamental part of how the samples are buffered and then written out. Essentially by the time a user action on screen (clicking a mute button) has been called and the _mute boolean is set to true there are already samples waiting to be written to the output that cannot be affected.
Having a really nasty problem. Been "googling" for answer for some time, but no solution so far. My flash app is quite simple. A flash app which uses locally stored XML to create UI and stuff. XML is quite large, but still quite manageable (5mb) Loading XML is pretty standard & easy. No problems here. Making a preloader is easy too. But the problem is:
While testing movie on (flash 8 dev) local machine, I cant get no preloader working. Stays at 0 and instantly jumps to 100. Problem can be bypassed on Flash 8 by setting download simulation on, and after that it works fine. But after you have published your application IE does the same as testing the movie in flash 8, basicly the whole browser is frozen for couple of seconds and then instantly jumps from 0 to 100.
If this is not confusing enough I tried my published App in Firefox and voila, preloader worked like a charm. Preloaded smoothly as silk. wonder if there is a solution? Why Firefox and IE differ so much? I been thinking if the problem is that in IE "locally stored" xml is streamed so fast that UI has no resources to update, but why on earth Firefox is not doing the same?
I was just curious as to whether or not it is possible to broadcast a live stream and then be able to push in, let's say for familiarity, a commercial? I have tried to find some information on the Flash Dev Net area, however, I don't think it leans towards what I am aiming for.

I am having troubles finding a way to switch videos during a live stream. For example, broadcasting a show and switching to a commercial and then back to the live feed.
View 1 RepliesI could create a program for him in flash which would be able to play sounds corresponding to keys on the keyboard, but split in to 3 groups, and only 1 sound from each group can be playing at a time. I don't know that much about as3, and I told him this but said I would try anyway. The first thing I came up with was this:[code]In there, there's nothing to stop the sounds overlapping or looping like in my other solution, also it's obviously a lot less compact, but I sent it to my friend like that to see if it would at least play instantly. The response I got was that, although the lag was noticeably less, it was still present.
View 3 RepliesI'm using the box2dflash library to create a game, and so far I've been using "SetPosition" to instantly move a body from one place to another... the problem is that it obviously skips affecting other bodies when I do this.

I'm wrapping up a small corporate website, but I left the preloader to do until the very end, so instead of changing any layout of my View, I just moved everything to frame 2, and put the preloader on frame 1. I'm using some of the code here: http:[url].... which seems pretty ace.
The problem I'm having though is that CS5's built in preloader is going and loading the whole swf, then it runs my preloader (on frame 1) which causes it to move strait to frame two instantly (I changed it so now it at least plays through the animation then moves on, but it's still not loading anything during that screen).that is causing flash to load the entire swf before even playing my preloader on frame 1. I don't remember having this problem in CS4.
I know it's possible i saw it on several websites does some one know how i can use a static text in preloader counting to 100%? For an example look at ILOVETECHNO.BE The preloader a heart use a static text i think it cannot be a dynamic text because the font is not a normal average one
View 1 RepliesI have a swf and an flv file for the same animation. Currently the swf file is what is being used on the website. The swf doesn't have a prelaoder though, and as a result it is choppy when it plays. I don't have the fla file so I can't edit it. Is there a way to use the flv file and create a preloader for it so that it will eventually play smoothly?
View 5 RepliesI am really stuck with a loadmovie action that I cannot find the solution to. I have a website that I had to split up as the loading time was too long. I have used a loadMovie function and it loads the external movie but the problem is that the external movie requiring a little bit of time to load I want a preloader to come first.
I have attached screenshots of this (wssmain liks to the arch_mc1) . The problem is that the movie loads but the preloader doesn't play. Anybody has any ideas why?
The first screenshot shows the wssmain whereas the second (preloader2) shows the arch_mc1. If the fla files are required I will make them available for download.

We have some problem with the speed of our website. That's why we want to start a preloader when those pages will be opened by our visitors. Example of page were we want the preloader[url]...it's the first 'round' preloader and the class code is under the preview. We want to start this preloader when the file mobiledescription.php will be opened.
This is my first experience with flash. So how can i start this preloader on those pages, because i have no idea right now?
I have problems with creating a preloader in AS3. I have tried several tutorials but the problem remains... the preloader starts counting at 50% and is only shown after a few sec. I have removed all export in 1 frame from my instances.I have no sound. I would prefer not to load my main.swf into another swf, if there is another solution.
View 3 Replieshy this very simple preloader is not counting? It sits still on 1%, thats it, then eventually the content of the next scene fills the screen.(I use to import a number of heavy images to Scene 2 to slow the loading process down.)
View 2 RepliesI have created a video in After Effects that I exported to an FLV movie. I would like to use it as an intro for my website but I would like to have a preloader for it... I don't need anything complicated, a 'youtube style' little circle thing would be totally fine.
Now I tried an Action-Script-two-frame preloader. It works but when my video finally plays, the sound is not synchronized with the images; which is kind of annoying as I used visual effects that need to be synchronized with the music and sound effects. Would anyone would have some simple AS that I could use for that.
I've started to use the embed metadata tags in my flash CS4 IDE based projects. I've hit a stumbling block though - how do you create a preloader if you use embed. I've googled for it and found flex based solutions but they do not seem to work from CS4 IDE based projects
