ActionScript 1/2 :: Loading All Images At Preloading Time

Sep 14, 2009

I am Developing a flash website.It has lots of images in various pages.Is this possible to load all the images at the preloading time itself as it wont take much time while showing those images. Can I have a empty movieclip on stage with visible false. and using a for loop can I load all the images into that?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Images And Loading Content?

Feb 23, 2003

The flash portion of my site is just the navigation bar. here is a link so you can see what it looks like for an easier time helping solve my problem: As you can see text loads into dynamic text boxes when the user rolls his/her mouse over that little upright rectagle, there will be many of those rectangles once i have my site done but for now, im just testing things out.

here is the current code applied to my Rectangle Nav Button:

// This is the state where rollover text displays in those beveled boxes
on (rollOver) {
ordernum = "0001";
title = "Change is the only constant - 1600x1200";

[code].....

What this code does is when the user rolls his/her mouse over, text loads into the dynamic text boxes, and when the user releases his/her mouse on the button the jpg "Ug.jpg" loads. However this is not the effect i am after. I want to have a preloader off to the side somewhere on the flash portion of my site, and when the user mouse overs a nav bar button, the text in the dynamic text boxes gets lighter, and when the user rolls his/her mouse out, the text goes back to normal. I also want it so when the User Releases on a nav bar button the pre-loader off to the side loads the image, sound, or movie and then that image/ sound/ movie displays in a HTML portion of my site right below the Flash portion.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Images Loading One At A Time Instead Of All Together?

Feb 26, 2009

I am building a flash site and currently I'm not using an timeline or any images in the library. I'm using the image loader class to load in all images for each page. The trouble is that images load one by one. I want them to wait until they are all loaded before appearing together on the stage.First: Is this best practice? What do professionals do when it comes to loading images / pages.Second: Even if I add a preloader they still load individually. Here's some example code which loads the contents to my map.swf

public function Map()
{
img = "PageBack.png";

My need is to load 4 images at one time, and I'd like to have the code in a function that could load them one after another.

Preloading Dynamic Images Using CS3?

Nov 11, 2009

I am currently building a flash site which uses dynamic images throughout using loadMovie("picture.jpg", mc_name) to load them into various movie clips. This all works fine and the site is starting to look good, the only problem i have is with preloading. I have the main swf file and everything contained within it preloading with a progress bar at the start which works fine. When the movie loads the main homepage image slowly fades in, however as the loadMovie("home.jpg", homepic) is on the same frame as the homepage, if you don't have the image in your cache then you miss the fade completely in the time it takes the image to load.

As a result i am wanting to preload this (and a few other) images during the initial preloader if possible, that way i can prevent this problem from occurring. Unfortunately from what i understand i can't run loadMovie from within my preloader actions as they're in a different frame so i'm really not sure how to do it, given the image is external

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading Images On The Fly?

Jun 12, 2009

I'm working on a Flash portfolio asset that generates menus of thumbnail images based on the button the user clicks. (For Flash items, click the Flash button; for photos click on Photos, etc.) Once the menu is populated, you click on a thumbnail and the corresponding large image is displayed.

Everything works fine when testing, but in the browser the thumbnail images hang momentarily at at 0,0 and the the large images load too late for their fade-in effect to be viewed. Once the user clicks on everything once, everything works properly so I obviously need to preload things. What I can�t figure out is how to preload the menus and images on the fly. I�ve preloaded a whole asset before, but how does one go about preloading images that aren�t embedded?I�m using external .as files and there is nothing on the timeline. XML files contain all the info about the images, including urls.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading Multiple Flv, And Play One At A Time On Each Click?

Nov 10, 2010

I'm creating a video player that have 2 ways of playing the video file. 1st is by streaming. Will play the file directly on each click/ 2nd, is by preloading the video. And only plays it when its fully loaded. But while its preloading, I could still able to click on others video as well to preload the videos and put them on queue for playing.

Currently I'm on the 2nd stage. The problem I'm facing now is it only plays the sound bout not the video. And it overlaps. I'm not sure I have to duplicate the NetConnection or NetStream like how we usually do to duplicate some MovieClip.

ActionScript Code:
public function set newVideo(v:String):void
{
currentStatus = "play";

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading All External Images First?

Jul 9, 2009

i have a preloader working. except i want to be able to load external images fully first, before the preloader stops. currently the preloader loads everything except the external images, and then everything else starts (but behind the scenes the external images haven't loaded yet and this is annoying!)... how can have the preloader continue until all assets, internal and external, are fully loaded?

ps, i don't want to give each image an individual preloader! i need them all there when the thing starts.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading Images Specified In An XML Document

Sep 9, 2010

I'm trying to build a flash image banner which references an xml document for its content. The banner will automatically rotate through the images based on a set time interval. The user will also have the option to use a next/forward button and a direct slide (image w/caption, header & url) section button. There will always be 5 slides. There will be 7 buttons: a forward button - which shall rotate to the next slide, backwards button - which shall rotate to the previous slide, slide one button, slide two button, slide three button, slide four button and slide five button - these will take the user directly to that slide. I don't really care about Transitions.

Me and My friend building part of a site in AS2 which needs to preload images while the user is on the site. For example:
Illustration section has 10 images
A user clicks on the link for this section the images will begin to preload without the user knowing. They will be able to click on a link for an image and it will either display if fully loaded, or continue to load as a priority over the other images that are loading until it is ready to be displayed.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Preloading External Images From XML?

Jul 17, 2008

I'm having a problem preloading external images from an XML file in AS3. It's a scrolling image gallery and everything loads fine, but I can't figure out how to preload the images (all I've been able to do is preload the actual .xml file, which is useless to preload a 10k file). The thumbs skip, the big pics pause, etc.

I'm moderate in AS2 and decided to do this project in AS3(doh), and it's been painful;

Here's my code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading All External Images At Once

Jul 12, 2007

Im using a mix between xml and loadClip to dynamically load the content of a photogallery into my swf. Everything is working fine except the preloader. I know how to make a preloader for each individual image using this function:[code]However for this particular project it does not matter when each individual image is loaded, but rather I need to know when the whole lot is done.it could be that Im using the wrong approach and maybe I can solve this with some kind of a onLoad(success) type function on the xml part of the code.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading Images In HtmlText

Jun 17, 2009

I have different htmlText strings for my TextField. Each of them contains an image with the text: textfield.htmlText = "<img src='animage.jpg'>Here is my text"; textfield.htmlText = "<img src='anotherimage.jpg'>Here is my second text"; Now what I'm doing is making a fadein effect on the TextField, from 0 to 1, and changing the htmlText. The problem is that, when the image is not loaded in the cache, it is displayed a little abruptly after maybe half a second, which really doesn't look good. How could I force Flash the preloading of these images before the fadein without having the user notice it?

But after you have already loaded the image and go back to the the animation works fine because the image has already been loaded.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading An Array Of Images (from XML)

I'm creating an image gallery (similar to the one that is posted in the tutorials at kirupa) but with one difference. Rather than loading each file individually when they are called, I want to preload the whole array of images first and then let the user sift through them. I've tried attaching them into a nested movie clip that has a preloader on it, but it seems that Flash is too quick and will decide the file is loaded before the JPGs are imported.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading Multiple Images From Xml With BulkLoader?

Sep 3, 2009

Anyone have any experience with bulk-loader for multiple files? Its great for preloading single files, but I am now trying to preload essentially a folder of images. The images have different names (and will change over time), so I can't just create a for loop to preload for example 'image01' then 'image02' etc. They are referenced via XML however, and I'm wondering how I could loop through those, and use bulk-loader to retrieve these...? Essentially I'm confused about integrating XML nodes with bulk-loader, and then also about how to do it with multiple images...?
