ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Two Onloads To One Preloader
Apr 8, 2005
I am making a flash animation/movie that is about 1.4MB in file size, there is also music that plays along with the animation, but the MP3 file is about 2.4MB, so I called up the loadSound function (streaming) in the first frame, and toggled the Sound start function when the PLAY button was pressed. The PLAY button only appears once the preloader has loaded all the frames of the flash file, but it does not wait for the MP3 to finish loading.
If the user clicks on the PLAY button before the MP3 has finished loading, it won't play the MP3.
If the user waits a few seconds for the MP3 to finish loading, the MP3 plays normally.
Is there a way to make the preloader load and/or calculate the MP3 as well as the animation?
Code:
// variable to hold the value of total frames in this movie
var loadAmount = _totalframes;
// loops until the frames loaded >= to frames in this movie
if (_framesloaded >= loadAmount) {
[Code]....

I am trying to build a simple preloader. I have 4 movieclips on stage and on each one I am adding an image that comes from an xml file:
theMap = new XML();
theMap.ignoreWhite = true;
theMap.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) {
theNodes = theMap.firstChild.childNodes;
[Code] .....
Everything works ok but as the jpgs are a bit heavy I'd like to preload them. Is that possible?

Ok so I have this XML gallery working perfectly, but I want to add a preloader to it. I have the loader and child all in one package, and that package is called via back and forward buttons according to if/else statements that ensure that the xml gallery does not get confused. I figure ok, so it's simple, I just add the preloader into the package using if/else statement, but I can't seem to get it to interact with the imageLoader I have set up in this package. As it stands right now I get no compile errors, but I do get an output error at runtime stating that packagedF and xmlLoadedF are now null object references. Take a look and see if you can figure out what I'm doing wrong:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);[code]......

I was given the task of adding a preloader to an already existing flash website. The website is completely in flash. Each "page" is on a layer and are made of animated movie clips. It is a portfolio website, so some pages take a while to load up. That's where the preloader comes in. I want to put a preloader at the very beginning of the page that will play as the entire site is being loaded, so when the user clicks through, each page shows up quickly and seamlessly.
I have created a preloader in a separate flash file, but can not get it to work with the website. How do I combine these two files to work?

I have a preloader on the first frame. It works great, with no problems and it's loading images from a directory. I would like to add to it an image counter, not only the bytes that are loading.
Actionscript Code:
stop();
// array of your movieclips$
mcs = ["page_1.jpg", "page_2.jpg", "page_3.jpg", "page_4.jpg", "page_5.jpg", "page_6.jpg", "page_7.jpg", "page_8.jpg", "page_9.jpg", "page_10.jpg", "page_11.jpg", "page_12.jpg", "page_13.jpg", "page_14.jpg", "page_15.jpg", "page_16.jpg", "page_17.jpg", "page_18.jpg", "page_19.jpg", "page_20.jpg",
[Code] .....
So, basically I would like to add another dynamic text box in which - as the images are loaded - I would like to have a counter for the images.

I am a newbie and been developing this menu that is XML driven and uses an External AS file for the script, so there is no AS on the timeline, it is all external. The Preloader. I found this preloader from here: [URL] which I have been trying to build into my movie, but with no joy! I don't understand how to add a preloader when you have external script, there is going to image directly on the stage, which is what the preloader would be loading.
Basically all I would like to do is add a simple percentage count for the preloader, a loading bar also would be great, but if not ,thats ok. The problem I have is when I put the preloader script into my existing menu all hell breaks loose. Below is a link to my menu files and also attached the AS script file, if that is better?

If I already have an existing movie, what is the best way to add a preloader to this movie?I have 1 frame with a few layers right now. Then, I have some movie clips on frame 1 Should I just move everything to frame 2? Does that throw anything out of sync? I am using labels in the movie clips that that I can use gotoAndPlay("label");

I've got a Flash AS3 animation that is completely coded in an .as file. The only thing on the timeline is the background image. All of the movieclips are Exported for ActionScript in frame1. How would I go about adding a preloader into the .as file? I have tried a couple that I've found through Google but they don't seem to work as the .as file seems to be loaded instantly.

I'm trying to make a navigation system for my website where each nav item is loaded as an external .swf. I was able to get that functionality in place. The problem is I want to add a preloader for these external swfs as well.
The code I'm working with is this:
var loadedSWF:Loader = null;
/**
* Loads an SWF and adds it to container once complete
* @param file The URL to the SWF to load

I am making a site in flash. Without a preloader everything appears on the stage fine. Once I add a preloader I can no longer see certain things on the stage. I know they are on the stage because I can call them through code and I traced their getChildIndex and they are the same across both files. Files w/ preloader and problem:[URL] The main file is Test.fla. The code that adds the objects that I cannot see is in Test.as and the objects that I cannot see are menuBG, menuBGL, menuBGR, menuBGB, shader, grid, and imageStatus, or anything that is imported from the library.
Edit: The problem is caused by me exporting my classes in frame 2 which is needed by the preloader. In my init() function I tried adding gotoAndStop(3);

ERROR 1046: Type was not found or was not compile-time constant:textline.
I have nested my animation into a movie clip and have tried to use a pre-loader on it. The nested movie clip opening screen as a button on and the second screen as back and forward buttons. The movie clip works fine no problem until adding it to the pre-loader. The code for the pre-loader is (below) on frame 1 frame 2 to is tells it to stop and also were my nested movie clip is
function loadProgress(my_content:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (my_content.bytesLoaded*100)/my_content.bytesTotal);
myLoadText.text = percent + "%";
} function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
currentFrame + 1;
} loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);

I'm trying to add a preloader to my flash movie so the user doesn't have to wait for additional frames to load while they are navigating. When I try to shift my current frames over by 2 frames to make room for the preloader I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at APIVisionDigitalRecall_fla::MainTimeline/frame3()[APIVisionDigitalRecall_fla.MainTimeline::frame3:20]
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at navBar()
Everything works fine before I shift the frames by 2, so I don't understand why I'm getting a complier error abut an object not existing. What to do to add a pre-loader to my existing movie without moving everything over by two frames?
I was planning on putting this code on frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
var kbtotal:Number=stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal/1024;
var kbloaded:Number=stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded/1024;
var percent:Number= Math.round(kbloaded/kbtotal*100)
loader.gotoAndStop(Math.floor((precent/100)*100));
loader.loadingStatus.text=Math.round(kbloaded) + " lb / " + Math.round(kbtotal) + "kb";
This code on frame 2:
ActionScript Code:
if (kbloaded == kbtotal){
gotoAndPlay("Main");
} else{
gotoAndPlay("Load");
}

I just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.

I'm wrapping up a small corporate website, but I left the preloader to do until the very end, so instead of changing any layout of my View, I just moved everything to frame 2, and put the preloader on frame 1. I'm using some of the code here: http:[url].... which seems pretty ace.
The problem I'm having though is that CS5's built in preloader is going and loading the whole swf, then it runs my preloader (on frame 1) which causes it to move strait to frame two instantly (I changed it so now it at least plays through the animation then moves on, but it's still not loading anything during that screen).that is causing flash to load the entire swf before even playing my preloader on frame 1. I don't remember having this problem in CS4.

I have a swf and an flv file for the same animation. Currently the swf file is what is being used on the website. The swf doesn't have a prelaoder though, and as a result it is choppy when it plays. I don't have the fla file so I can't edit it. Is there a way to use the flv file and create a preloader for it so that it will eventually play smoothly?

I am really stuck with a loadmovie action that I cannot find the solution to. I have a website that I had to split up as the loading time was too long. I have used a loadMovie function and it loads the external movie but the problem is that the external movie requiring a little bit of time to load I want a preloader to come first.
I have attached screenshots of this (wssmain liks to the arch_mc1) . The problem is that the movie loads but the preloader doesn't play. Anybody has any ideas why?
The first screenshot shows the wssmain whereas the second (preloader2) shows the arch_mc1. If the fla files are required I will make them available for download.
