Just for tweak purposes. Is it a good idea to load Images simultaneously? Why would i wanna load images sequentially or simultaneously? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the 2 approaches?

My situation is as follows : I have an XML from which I get some urls passed into flash. (urls are path to images) And I have 3 movieclips sitting on the stage waiting to hold the images. I need to preload all the 3 images on the first frame of my movie before it starts playing. All I have been able to do is this :

I'm working on a client's website. I use loaders to load various images and then I add them sequentially to the display list. These images include a big (BIG, ie, 6000x1500 , 220kb image) background image.. All of the images being loaded are PNG.. The site is fine and the images are fine/show up on a majority of browsers. However, after trying to view the flash file (at a .swf extension -- not embedded into html yet) on IE6 and on Chrome on only ONE of my laptops, the background .png does not appear and does not seem to have be loaded at all.
I haven't assigned loader listeners (i.e, there is no preloading).. Does the loader class have some sort of size restriction? I think not because it is working on some browsers and not on others. Otherwise, how could the actual PNG be at fault? I've temporarily fixed the problem by importing the background into my library and calling it from the actionscript but I would definitely prefer to load it dynamically or at least know why it is not happening as expected on some browsers/in some cases.

I have got 3 swf files scene1, scene2 and scene3. Out of which scene2 and scene3 are embedded inside html files named scene2.html and scene3.html. I also want to include pre-loader at every intervals between the scenes, since the total file size including images and scripts is around 4mb.
View 3 RepliesI am busy with a project where two videos have to play on top of each other. One video is really small and the other rather large (more than 20 MB). Because the large video has to be aligned in the center of the screen and the small video has to have a fixed position, the videos must be played separated.
Because of the large filesize I cannot embed the videos in the swf. It will become too large. Therefore the video's must be loaded in progressive mode. But because the smaller video will be loaded much earlier, the video's will not play in sync.
Can a html webpage load multiple flash simultaneously which uses FLVplayback component ? Because I am trying to create a webpage then loads and play multiple videos in flv format simultaneously and was thinking of using 3 or more flash file to play the videos.

Then, after loading a list of images from an XML file, I call a function that I called "createImages". This function then takes the list of images and creates a bunch of loaders:

So far, so good! I now have a bunch of loaders each with a different name "img1","img2","img3" etc.

I am using actionscript 3. I can load an image in a class but how do Iload a number of images eg 4 images that animate.?These 4 images are a walking sequnce of a character. I am unclear after googling an loading multi images in as3( just love google).
Loading a single image I load this into a loader Once loaded I load the image into a bitmap and add to a sprite I then add the spite to the stage Q)Now for 4 related images I load 4 loader or 4 sprites or 4 bitmaps or do every thing 4 times?I want to do collisions eventually and I need bitmaps but bitmaps seem useless to use other than collisions.Googling for answers isnt helping me clarify this!

I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?

I want to create about ten twenty second movies and then have them play sequentially.
The movies are only slightly different from each other.I don't want to make a movie that is two minutes long though. I want the movies to play in a different order on each page.
im trying to figure out a way to make a button play two movie clips one after the other in AS 2.0. I have bunch of buttons that i want to play the same MC followed by a specific MC for each button so i cant add another goto at the end of the middle clip. theres probably an easy solution to this but I only know so much about AS.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to go from an flv. that starts automatically 1st thing directly to a .swf file, with no user interaction. They are both inside a mc 'container' on the stage. I can get them both on the stage, but at more or less the same time, not sequentially. I tried using an addEventListener(VideoEvent.Complete) with the .flv, but the .swf starts up after the .flv is loaded, not after it finishes playing.
Am I supposed to use some sort of 'loader' strategy or is there a way to 'listen' to when a .flv finishes playing and then the .swf will come up automatically?
I have successfully dynamically loaded Jpegs into my flash document(using PHP), but then I have another small problem.When I dynamically load the image (example: image_icon_bluesky.jpg) I then need to tell the MC that is holding the loaded image that it needs to do this...
on (release) {
_root.image_bluesky.alpha = 100;
}
SO basically every time a new image is loaded in my sort of "loop" script. I need to tell the image that it needs to put specific code onto the MC using specific "image" details for that specific image.
I hope this is clear. Basically what I'm trying to do.On my flash stage I already have MC's that have their alpha properties set to "0". Lets say there are 3 images. One MC is called Blue, other is called Red and the last one is called Yellow.Now using AS + PHP I have dynamically loaded 3 Jpeg's .
[Code]...
and so on for each image....I have tried to explain this as well as I possibly can. I just wanna know if this is possible or if there is a simple way of doing it
I have three flv files that I need to play sequentially, one right after the other in the same location (box) in an html document. I have segmented the video because of it's size. Does any one know how I would make this happen or where I can find some sort of tutorial that can assist me with this? I also have another project in which I have 4 animations that I want to play in sequence but they are in different locations on the web page.
View 1 RepliesI've got an array of 10 frogs, and only one jumps. I want them all to jump together or sequentially. Anything is better than one frog jumping. How do I get all the frogs in my array to jump?
What I want. Selectable frogs I can control

var enemyArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var noname:FrogClass = new FrogClass();
I want to play with arrays and the displayList. Scattering the frogs or using other motions would be interesting.

I'm trying to find a way to play a sound sequentially. In other words, I want to play a sound file from a certain point to a certain amount of time (NOT to the end). So to play a portion of that file.Now, I know I have to use mySound.start(secondOffset), but how can I stop it? Sound.onSoundComplete is not useful, as I want to stop the sound at a certain time from playing, which might not be the end.I guess that the approach is to use the Sound.position property, and to stop the sound when the position meets criteria.I've tried so far all kinds of approaches, like making a loop while the sound plays and checking the Time, but nothing seems to work.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a little navigation here where several icons will fly up to a certain height and then hover around, kinda like a flying insect might. Most of my actionscripting experience has been pretty basic so far, and i'm having a little trouble getting this thing to do exactly what i want.
these are things that i would like to happen: -- the icons fly up sequentially, instead of all at once -- the icons fly up to a less uniform height (more variance on the Y axis)these are things that really need to be fixed, but i can't figure out how: if you rollover the icons too fast, they go to a negative scale(which flips them over)also, i'm sure this code isn't the most efficient, and there are a few onEnterFrames that i could probably get rid of, but when i tried deleting any, it would break the code.

I have a 3 frame movie clip called "morePix" shaped like a forward arrow. The morePix.onRelease() function loads an external movie using MovieClipLoader(). When the movie loads a back arrow comes up. Eventually I will have about 5 external movies loading into this MovieClipLoader() and I will want the forward and back arrows up until I get to the last movie. I'm trying to figure out how to create a loop or an array to load these movies. I hope that makes sense. It seems easy but I'm stuck. Here's the code I have so far...
morePix.onRollOver = function (){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load some swf movies using loadMovie, but I'm having the following problem: There are three movies: 1.swf, 2.swf, and, 3.swf.
=> 1.swf loads inside 2.swf
=> 2.swf loads inside 3.swf
When I test 3.swf, it plays only 1.swf (exactingly where I put it in 2.swf - coordinates) but doesn't play 2.swf. Everything looks correct, including the containers. All actionscript is in the frames and I'm using Flash MX.
