ActionScript 1/2 :: When Run LoadLoadSS.swf / Slideshow Runs But Preloader Doesn't
Feb 19, 2011
I have a simple slide show that just used timeline tweening(no actionscript) named slideShow.swf.I have another swf named loadSS.swf that I load slideShow.swf into this file has a preloader in it.I have a 3'rd swf named loadLoadSS.swf that simply loads loadSS.swf.The preloader in loadSS.swf works fine when I run it standalone.When I run loadLoadSS.swf the slideshow runs but the preloader doesn't.I don't want the preloader to run on the final destination because it's a website with a long timeline and many levels and the slideshow will be shown in many places and it just gets complicated. If the slideshow can just provide it's own preloader life will be much simpler.[code]
I have a simple slide show that just uses timeline tweening(no actionscript) named slideShow.swf I have another swf named loadSS.swf that I load slideShow.swf into, this file has a preloader in it. I have a 3'rd swf named loadLoadSS.swf that simply loads loadSS.swf. The preloader in loadSS.swf works fine when I run it standalone. When I run loadLoadSS.swf the slideshow runs but the preloader doesn't.
I don't want the preloader to run on the final destination because it's a website with a long timeline and many levels and the slideshow will be shown in many places and it just gets complicated. If the slideshow can just provide it's own preloader life will be much simpler. slideShow.swf has no AS loadSS.swf has this AS:
I'd like to show my print portfolio in different slide shows on Flash CS4 using buttons that correspond to categories such as: brochures, posters, logos, etc. I've made the buttons and I created slide shows in Powerpoint--but if there is a better way in Flash, let me know. How do I code the buttons to play their corresponding slideshows? I don't want them visible until the button is clicked.
There seem to be lots of examples out there of slideshows that the user has to click through to view each image. I basically need a slide show that crossfades from image to image after a few second interval, without thumbnails or clicking next buttons very straight forward no frills.
Is it possible to create an xml slideshow that runs .swf files for my home page?and does anyone know where to find some good tutorial on creating xml slideshows that run the .swf files.
I have a problem with flex. sometimes when I change my application and run it, my changes doesn't appear in the application, and I have to change my browser setting in flex to see changes on other browsers, and after doing it for a while and solving the problem permanently, other browsers will do the same and don't show my changes.
I don't get exactly how they do the whole preloader animation on: http://www.flashlevel.com/indexv4.html
every time i visit the page the whole preloader animation runs for 0 till 100. also if it is in your cache.
they use 20 stripes to load so (5 percent means 1 stripe!) but how can you animate your preloader if youre preloader does'nt always runs smoothly from 1 till 100?
When I preview my SWF from within Flash or run the exported swf outside of Flash, it has suddenly become extremely slow, maybe 10 FPS or something. But then it runs smoothly if I
- run it in a browser embedded in a HTML page - run a preloader locally which simply loads the problematic SWF file; once the problematic SWF file shows up, it runs perfectly.
This doesn't make sense to me, and it's really annoying to be unable to just Shift+Enter to preview. Anyone tried anything like this before?
I'm over here putting together a tweened preloader that runs in time with bytes loaded. I'm just wondering how I could make the preloader movieclip fade out when the tween is finished and then advance the playhead when the alpha reaches 0. I can post an fla if that'll help anyone understand better.Heres the code on the preloader movieclip:
I have made a random image loader for a slideshow, but the preloader does not work for it (I grabed the preloader from a previous website I made) Is there a way to preload the images or the slideshow and/or have the next image pre-load while the current image is playing. I have attached a zip file of the random image loader
This thing is giving me a headache. See code below. The issue here is that my first image preloads OK, but then the second image gets jammed at 25-30% and never loads. The third and forth image preloads OK and the same issue with the fifth image. And sometimes the issue is on the last 4 images.
Here is a very simple xml slide show. What I want is to implement one preloader at the very beginning of the slideshow so the user do not see any blank page at the beginning.
I also want to implement the preloader before loading each image by clicking the next and previous buttons.
Attaching herewith the fla and other files for your kind look.
How come the following AS3 works fine when placed in Scene 1, but throws multiple "1120 Access of undefined property" errors when the code is placed inside a movie clip? Somehow none of the variables in the code are recognized in the later case.
I have a Flash slideshow presentation that I created for my company's website, which can be seen on our frontpage.The slideshow has NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons, as well as other buttons that are used to link to other parts of our online store. The problem that I am running into is that after the first cycle, the slideshow doesn't cycle through every slide anymore! And then eventually, after about 5 minutes, the flash plugins completely crash and my browser locks up. I think I found out that it has to do with the intervals that I put in the Actionscript 2.0 coding. I didn't put any "clear intervals" into it and that's why it's screwing up, but every tutorial that I used to integrate the clearInterval function didn't work.
stop(); timeInterval = setInterval(nextphoto, 7000); function nextphoto(){[code].....
I have a slideshow with 3 sections. The slideshow loops automatically as well as when being prompted by a button to go to a particular section. I also added a play/pause button which works initially, however, when clicked on one of the buttons to go to another section, the slideshow resumes looping..I"m assuming I need to check weather the pause button has been clicked to resume/or not resume the slideshow... but I'm unable to figure out how to do that.head of time! Here's the code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;import fl.transitions.easing.*; //Timervar tl:MovieClip = this;var slideDuration:uint = 12000;// or use whatevervar slideTimer:Timer=new
I have a slide show that displays 6 images and is suppose to do a fade in / fade out (not an overlap fade) between each image. The peculiar behavior is that when the movie is testedlocally by using "Test Movie", the fades occur properly. However when the swf is viewed from the website, during the first cycle of the slideshow, the next image does NOT fade in. After the first cycle, the fade in occurs properly.
Code: import mx.transitions.Tween; var nInterval:Number;
I've got an image slideshow, and a preloader for each individual image. I want the preloader BAR to be dynamically assigned the width of the banner, which is defined in a variable. Here are my preloader settings and function call:
Basically, what is happening is. The "progressBar" width is being defined as the variable BANNER_WIDTH, but when the _xscale property is run in my preloading function, it doesn't care what the banner width is. So what I want to say is. I want you to _xscale according to what is being loaded, but I don't want your _xscale to exceed BANNER_WIDTH's width. I don't know how to do this and keep the preloader accurate. I can only save as CS4, CS5.
I'm working on a slideshow using a class that I wrote that builds the slideshow and an XML file that points to the images. I plan on improving it later but for now I just want it to cycle through a set of images, resize them if they're too big or small, and show a loading bar while the image is loading. It works fine if I test it in the Flash IDE or standalone Flash Player, but if I drag the SWF into Firefox or Safari, the loading bar refuses to show up. I also tried publishing to an HTML file and that didn't work either. I figured there could only be two different reasons why it wasn't showing up - either it wasn't being added to the stage, it wasn't being made visible after it's initially set to invisible. I decided to comment out the part of the code that make it invisible to begin with the loading bar showed up, but it wasn't showing how much of the image had been loaded when it changed to a new picture. Here's my code:
[Code]...
For some reason the pictureLoading function isn't being called when I test it in any browser. I've seen the loading bar randomly pop up a few in times in Safari 4 but then I try closing the window and testing it again and I get nothing. Can anyone help me figure this out? About:plugins in Firefox says I have Flash Player 10.0.22 installed, and I'm using Flash CS3 in OS X.
I am trying to make a image slideshow for my companies new website. I used the Flash Image Viewer plugin from Dreamweaver, but it doesn't contain the transitional effect desired.
Every tutorial I find talks about advancing the images through an interactive control, I just want the images to change by themselves and do a fade transitional effect between images. Can anyone please point me to a tutorial that has this w/o the intractive buttons? I have been looking on the internet for hours and can only find tutorials / example w/ the intractve controls.
i have a slideshow with a delay of for example 3 seconds, and a preloader which is a line with a 100px final length.i start preloading next image.now if the time until next image loads is longer than slideshow delay, i will show next image as soon as it loads.if the time until next image loads is shorter that than slideshow delay, i want to wait additional time until delay and then show the image.the problem is how do i represent smooth line width grow (being enter frame or tween) by calculating/comparing 2 values together (delay and loader percent, which goes from 0 - 100) ?if my line growth represent just a slideshow delay, then when it gets to an end, if next image still hasnt loaded, then it wont look good if line has come to an end, but i still have to wait.
For this website I've put a preloader on the 1st frame and the site on the 2nd.I've tested the site after having created a small animation which makes appear the main menu, a logo and an image.Everything did work good, so I went on building the site.Now that I have created some pages I've tested again the whole site and the preloader doesn't work anymore.Testing the site on the "ctrl+enter" window and simulating the download I have a white background (both the preloader and website background are yellow) then I see the preloader for a fraction of second and suddenly the site appears.
Publishing the site on my web space the background is correctly yellow, but the preloader doesn't appear, the browser's loading bar stops at half then the preloader appears again for a fraction of seconds and suddenly the site appears (tested on Firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome and Safari, same behaviour with all of them).It looks that the preloader is become part of the site and that there is an invisibile preloader.The setting in: Publish settings -> Flash -> Script Settings -> Library Path -> Default Linkageis set to "Merged into code"the same happen if I set "Runtime Shared Library" and "Custom Preloader Loop".
I have created a Flex custom preloader, exactly like it is done in this example: [URL]
Now when I implement this, is seems to work fine on my computer in FireFox and Chrome. I publish it on the server, refresh my cache and reload the application and I do get my customized preloader.
But on a friend's computer, the screen stays white for a while, and then for a second or so it shows the preloader, but the indicator is at 100%.
So the loading already happened before it showed the preloader.
When I test and simulate download it shows me the progress of the file loading but the screen is blank white.Here is the code: I have two scenes...this is the preloader scene actions frame 1. Scene one works fine but the preloader doesn't show up
import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.ProgressEvent; function update(e:ProgressEvent):void[code]................
I'm using the code below on preloaders.[code]It doesn't always show all of my preloader, ie: by about 25% of the preloader animation it jumps to the movie. I still want the preloader to play all the frames before it goes to the movie regardless of download speed. Also sometimes it sticks on the final frame of the movie for a few seconds and then jumps to the main scene.
I've tried to create a preloader in frame 1 which shows a small animation while the site loades. But it doesn't work as it actually loads the entire site before showing frame 1 which kinda takes the idea out of the preloader.
This is my code: stop(); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
