I have created an animation with a number of layers - some have movie clips and some are frame by frame animation. It's 60 frames long and loops. When I put a preloader in at the beginning and put a stop action on it the stop action stops all the frame by frame animation. How do I get just the preloader to stop (and not loop)?
View 7 RepliesI have an interactive flash application that I'm building, but it's gotten kinda large (~200k) because of one large png file. So, I want to build a preloader for it, but I seem to have some difficulty getting it to a) stop looping back to scene 1, or b) look good if I use stop();
for some reason, the folowing scene's moving elements look crappy if I use stop(); in it's first frame in order to stop it from going back.
I don't want scene 1 to continuously reappear, but stop messes with the moving elements in scene 2.
I am writing a preloader to load an external SWF. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;[code]...
Etc. It keeps going until I close the movie.For some reason it's continually trying to load the movie...and I have no idea what. I literally copy and pasted the loader from a different (working) loader and swapped out the URL to the file.
So, I'm working on a presentation/site that houses multiple sections being loaded in as individual swfs. I have each section shoot to a preloader frame first that is set (with PreloadAssetManager) to preload multiple FLVs and the SWF itself.If I select a new section while the current one is loading, it does the correct process of switching sections and shooting back to the preloader, but then the preloader itself just stops working completely. If I try to access any section, it just sits at a blank preloader. of thing.
View 1 RepliesMy latest Flash project is almost finished apart from one small but annoying thing. The first frame containing the preloader and no images keeps playing on loop with the rest of the movie, I just want the rest to loop and the preloader to disappear for good when it's finished doing it's preloader thing! I'm guessing there's some actionscript I have to put somewhere to stop the first frame playing on loop, I'm just not sure what or where. Here is the test page with the flash as header: [URL].
View 1 RepliesI currently have my preloader set to getBytesloaded getBytesTotal (etc.), before it plays the 1st frame of the entire Flash file, but I only want the preloader to load the first (let's say) 500 frames, then play them accordingly.

I have successfully stopped a loop in one of my layers but it also affects other layers I don't want it to. I have a layer of moving clouds I would like to continue to animate during the playback.
Is there a way to have a stop(); apply only to one (or more) layer(s)?

I am having a bit of trouble getting my for loop to stop What I want to happen is when a button is rolled over it gets a movieclip from the library (not on the stage previous to rollover) move it the height of the movieclip up on the y axis as well as fade in and stop on roll out do the opposite, except if you rollover and rollout to quickly I don't want to mc to show at all.

I've got a simple function that works towards a lesson progress bar.
onEnterFrame = function () {
progTotal = Math.round (_root._totalframes);
progCurrent = Math.round (_root._currentframe);
progPercent = (progCurrent/300);
trace(progPercent);
}
Works like a champ, but as I traced it I noticed this occurs about 15 times a second (15fps).
This seems like a ton for overhead computing to me, and was wondering if I could just grab it initially on the enterframe and stop. I only need to know once in the frame when it changes (on the entry of a new frame).

View 5 RepliesI have a CS5 FLA file with AS 3.0 with the following code for the preloader:
var pct_load:int = Math.round(framesLoaded/totalFrames*100);
if (pct_load == 100) {
play();

The preloader is in the first four frames -- it's just the background photo, a graphic logo, and the loading numeral text.
Everything runs great the first time it's loaded; then if you refresh the page, the graphics in the first four preloader frames flash on the screen before the movie plays.
I am using CS3 actionscript 2. I am having trouble with the preloader. It works, but it is causing the stop commands throughout the rest of the movie to not work. I know it is the preloader because when I remove it, it works. It is just a basic preloader. index12.fla has it with the preloader and index13.fla doesn't.[URL]...

View 5 RepliesThis all works great until the items have been cached by the browser and then the movies still load but the preloader doesn't get time to animate and just shows for a split second which looks a bit crap.I read somewhere about creating an array to store the paths of all the loaded in swf's so I could then turn on and off the preloader's visibility if that file had been loaded before.This all worked great until I refreshed the browser window then of course the array got reset so all my stored values went and the preloader started to show its self again.
Then I thought could I store the array values in a local shared object but then I thought there's got to be an easier way.What is the best way of doing this?My preloader is just a bog standard 100 frame animation that go to and stops the frame of the percent loaded.

im trying to make a website in flash andd everytime it just cycles through all 4 pages in a loop. if i redo the entire site it will work if i test it but as soon as i go to file save as and save it as a new name it goes back to looping and cannot be fixed unless i redo it again. i have 4 layers and the first frame in layer "action" has stop(); as the first line. the syntax is correct and i get zero errors.

View 3 RepliesWordPress site as an .swf with all the appropriate files loaded in the same directory. My client would like two things to occur in the animation: 1. The animation should stop after first time it runs and not play again. 2. Further, the animation should remain stopped throughout the duration of the visitors session so that when they view other pages they don't have to see the animation reloaded with each new page they visit. So far I'm unable to even get the animation to even stop on the first page load, despite having taken the following steps: 1. Created an "Actions" layer dedicated solely to actions.2. Placed the "Stop" Action Code in the last from of the aforementioned "Actions" layer. 3. I'm using Action Script 3.0 with a Flash Player 10 installed in my browser.
View 4 RepliesI'm pulling an xml and using a for loop to create a thumb list. This list is going to be quite long but I only 25 thumbs to be loaded at a time, so that the next 25 is only loaded when a user hits a button. I know how to set up a for loop in a function, but I can't quite figure out how to break up a loop where it would stop and start. I was thinking I would call the function each time a button is pressed and the loop would pick up where it left off with the next 25.
I thought maybe I could substite other variables into the for(); but everything I've tried breaks it. I tried pulling the var i:int = 0; out of the for so the function could set the i, but I guess I'm not clear on exactly how the for loop works.
What I'm doing:
function loadarticleHeadlines():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < egarticleXml.articlelist.articleitem.length(); i++)
{

I have created a button which plays an external MP3 file, but the first problem is it only plays once. What script do i have to add so the sound continually loops. Secondly, I have created a button which stops music, but I can't figure out the code which stops the MP3 file playing. I've tried backMusic.close();, but an error message is displayed as the sound is already loaded up.
Heres the ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.geom.*;
import flash.text.*;

I am duplicating movie clips on the stage using a for loop. Inside the for loop is a loadMovie() function that loads a jpg inside each newly duplicated clip. My question is how do I pause the for loop until the image is done loading, then move on to the next.The way it is right now appears to be doing it all at once and it's obviously pretty choppy.

and for some reason not only does it continuously loop but it also adds an additional play every time it loops..

again fixed, now all i need to know is how to pause the background, and then have it continue playing when the "aim" animation is finished.

I have a slide show that's about 800k and I'm trying to add a preloader. I tried 6 different preloaders today including a smart clip I downloaded from Macromedia. It seems that when I add a stop action after the preloader this hangs the entire movie. I've uploaded a working example of the slideshow without a preloader and a link to the fla of my NON-working attempt to apply the smart clip preloader here I think I'm just putting the stop action in the wrong place but I can't figure it out..
View 11 RepliesI am trying to make a preloaded that stops on frames depending on how much is loaded, I want it to stay on frame 1 if 24% or less of the movies is loaded and for every 25% I want it to it to move forward a frame, So far I have done thus,
var bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
var bytes_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (bytes / bytes_loaded >= .25) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
_root.gottoAndStop(1);
}
Have used the preloader at [URL] and it seems to work fine however after the last frame of the movie it appears to flick (quickly) back to the preloader info, note I want the movie to loop continually. Is there a way I can add something that will make the movie loop direct to frame two and miss the preloader?
