ActionScript 1/2 :: Loader Component Specific Sequence (External JPEGs)
May 28, 2009
I have multiple "Loader Components" placed in a grid that are working great for loading external JPEG's. However, when I publish my file the "Loader Components" load each image randomly (I assume because they load the smallest file in size first then next largest and so on). How do I load the content of multiple "Loader Components" in a specific sequence?
Here is the script I have so far:
////"Thumb1" is the instance name of the first "Loader Component" in the grid.
Next is "Thumb2", then "Thumb3" and so on
Thumb1.load()
if (Thumb1.percentLoaded >= 1 ) {
Thumb2.load();}
if (Thumb2.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb3.load();}
if (Thumb3.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb4.load();}
if (Thumb4.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb5.load();}

I've found the loader component handy in loading JPEGs and scaling them to the specified size. However, I've found it a little annoying that when the image is loaded, sometimes you can see the image in it's original size for a fraction of a second before it's resized to fit the loader. Is there any way to avoid this -- such as the loader only being visible after the image is resized?

I have a loader component on my stage that I load 30 or so different external swfs into. Their stages are all exactly the same size as the loader. But one external swf has an image that extents outside it's stage size, AND it is this that gets rescaled (shrinks) when loaded into the loader. How can I fix the size of just this one external swf?

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.

Using the MovieClipLoader class, what is the difference between loading the external files into a Loader Component or into an empty movie clip. Will one be quicker? They both worked for me, but I've read using the Loader Component is better. Can anyone confirm this? I would think that avoiding components would make things faster/less file size.

I want to create a preloader that plays a video frame-by-frame in sequence according to the percentage of the total bytes loaded.in short, if the swf has loaded 25%, then it should show the video at frame 25 or at 25% the project; I want an image of my 3d model to start off as appearing to be hand drawn 2D, then transition into a full color 3D image as the swf loads.
Since my background is in 3D, not web design, I only have a basic grasp on Action scripting, so I tried to modify other code snippets with disastrous results, and most of the time, no results.It doesn't make a difference to me whether the video would be encapsulated in a movie-clip or if its just embedded in the time line, whatever is easier to do.

Working in Flash CS5 and using ActionScript 2.0 I'm trying to attach a preloader to a MovieClip which has a loader component inside to load an external jpeg. This MovieClip is inside my navigation MovieClip on the main timeline. I've used the same preloader to load my main website and it works fine. I want to have a preloader for my main photos as they take about a second to load and during this time there is just a blank space that shows.Below is the working code for the preloader;
stop();
onEnterFrame = function(){
var percent_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
[code].....

on Flash MX 2004 having problems with loading external jpegs and stuff. I got a tutorial from here and loading from a web address on it is okay,
but I can't get my one to load from my hard drive because there is always an error with the path. I know it'll ultimately be on line anyway but I want to know what I'm doing wrong.[code] What's the correct format for putting in a file path?

II'm trying to create a title page where two movie clips fade in. One is a dynamic text movie clip, the second is an image that is loaded.[code]I've traced the heck out of this, so all I know is that image_mc seems to only generate a single onEnterFrame event and then stops.It seems that if I comment out the .loadMovie line, the placeholder movie clip fades in properly, so obviously there is something about onEnterFrame events and loadMovie that I don't know.

I want to create dynamic slideshows using external jpegs and for the slideshow to continue until all of the images have been shown. The images in the folder are named 0,1,2,3... etc First of all I want a function to fire that loads an external jpeg.It then checks to see if it exists.If it does it waits 5 seconds then loads the next. If it doesnt I want it to stop and show a default image.So far I have
PHP Code:
fileExists=new LoadVars();
fileExists.onLoad=checkIt;
function checkIt(success) {
[code]....
This checks to see if the image exists and if it does it gets displayed. If it doesnt it shows the default image. How can I add a counter to the "0.jpg" and the
PHP Code:
fileExists.load
I Know it involves setInterval but I cant seem to get the two things working together!

I am trying to seamlessly loop specific layers containing .swf or .flv movies infinitely, independent of other layers in the timeline.I have attempted to use the gotoAndPlay("x"); method, but the target layer always freezes on the last frame for about .5 seconds before executing the gotoAndPlay command. The only situation in which it doesn't freeze is when frame "x" is the first frame of the project.No other actionscript is being used anywhere else in this project

I have the following code which simply loads an external swf, puts it in the right place and should all be hunky dory.This works:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("foobar.swf");[code].....
to set the dimensions of the loader so the external swf doesn't 'spill over', the result is a blank screen. No matter how high I set those dimensions it just doesn't display anything.

I have a 'base' MC on the root. On to which I am trying to load several external .swf sequentially. (sn1.swf, sn2.swf...) I see that there is a small lag or a quick flicker when one movie ends and another loads. Is there a way to solve this so the movies load seamlessly?

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

I'm having problems with this flash project. I have a folder with a swf file and in it you have like 5 Loader components which in their content path directs to perticular pictures in that folder. It works fine offline, you know I open the swf file and you can see the pictures.When I insert this swf file in dreamweaver and upload the site it doesnt work. Yea you can see the swf file, but not the images. In Safari you have this activity window, where you can debug and see what the problem is. Apprently for some odd reason it says that the images are not found, because it's looking in the wrong directory.

The progress bar doesn't work if the .swf movie that's being loaded is being loaded into another movie. If the loader is on the main stage it works fine both in testing and on the internet.For example, I created a parent movie and a child movie with a loader and progressBar. The child movie works perfectly by itself. If I load the child movie into the parent movie the progressBar doesn't work.

I have a flash file for a website section. I inserted a Loader component component to load a .swf file, and set the "scaleContent" property (in the Component Inspector) to True, but the .swf loads tiny, like a thumbnail. I also set the minimum dimensions (400x300), but this seems to have zero effect. I also have the size of the loader component set to 424x350. I have played with both sets of these numbers to no effect.
Here is where I've uploaded the file for testing: [URL] If you click any 1 of the 4 images, it will load 1 of 4 .swf files within (but very small).
Furthermore...the size of the embedded videos is not always consistent. Sometimes, after re-uploading the main file, Some of the 4 videos will be correctly sized, but if visited more than once, they return to being small. Very weird.
P.S. I have attached a screen capture of the Flash program, showing the component inspector and properties.

I have done some tests offline and using something like

Works fine.
