ActionScript 2.0 :: Advanced Preloader Play Control
Sep 28, 2002
I have two scenes setup where the first scene has a preloader that works great - here is the catchy part though - my first scene (where the code is) is 140 frames long and the second scene is over 400 frames - once all of the frames have been loaded from the second scene the first scene JUMPS to and plays frame 1 of the second scene, reguardless of where the playhead is in the first scene - what I want it to do is once the second scene has been loaded I want the first scene to play all the way to the end (frame 140, scene 1) of the first scene and THEN going on to the second scene (frame 1, scene 2)giving my sound and animation a smooth transition over.

I have three sounds I want to use in my preloader and main movie - I have the first (sound1) looping until the entire movie has loaded and it then starts another (sound2) (same as the first loop but it is just now playing more instruments) and it will play (sound2) once and then go on to (sound3) which is the main loop I want to play on my site - all of these sounds are sequencial to eachother so seamlessness is very important - is there a way to maximize the sound control with action script so everything plays seamless?

I have two HTML pages, each with a .swf movie on them. The first page has the splash .swf intro movie on it. I want to add a preloader to splash.swf that loads main.swf which is on main.html which loads when you click ENTER. I don't know if this is possible or not. The reason I have 2 seperate .swf's on seperate pages is because I need a different background color for each page. If this can't be done then I would be interested in just loading the main.swf into the user's cache as soon as they open the first page so that it acts as a preloader. I uploaded it to [URL]. The .swf's might not load correctly on mac's for some reason, but should be fine on a PC (no clue why).

After thinking over this for sometime It's a tad more advanced than i think I'm at, at the moment.So this idea for the preloader, its a single lined textbox 44 characters long. The idea is that once you click on the object a .length determines the length of the text then subtracts it from 44, then while the preloader.onLoadprogess is doing its thing i'd like to add a "."+preloaderStatus to the textfield (the preloaderStatus is the 10% etc to 100%)
So it'd start as :
1) Yaiks
2 while loading) Yaiks.....................20
3 finished) Yaiks.......... .......................100
But at the end the 100 will stop at 44 with the right amount of "..." in the middle determined by the length of the original text in the field.

I have a Flash file for an advanced preloader that fills up a circle with an image as the file loads. The problem is that the readout on screen is the percentage loaded. I am trying to get it to read kilobytes loaded over the total number of kilobytes, with the image synchronized with the amount loaded. I can actually send you the .fla file via e-mail so that you can see what I have.

I have a button that looks like this: [URL] so when you rollover, it plays an animation, and when you rollout, it plays the exit animation. And if you rollout before the the enter animation is over, it will jump straight to the exit animation. the swf right there works perfectly, exactly how i want it, so i popped it in as2 and it will not function, so I decided to come here, I need to know how to do this is as3. how can i make this work in cs3?

I'm new to Flash and am looking to use the following tutorial to create an advanced button. I know it is probably a very simple fix, I just cannot figure it out. [URL] In the tutorial the rollover and onrelease has the following script this.onRollOut = function(){ rewind = true;} this.onRelease = function(){getURL [URL]); } I have tried to change the on.Release command to go to and play another frame in to movie instead of opening a new url. But I'm not getting it to work correctly.

I have a question for any seasoned Action scripters. Here's my problem, I have two flash files embedded in different parts of an HTML page and I want one flash file to play the other when it gets done. I would assume that I need to use PHP or javascript to talk with the HTML file that would send the other flash file a command which it was "listening" for. I really don't know however.

In the following code I set my preloader to play an swf. If I test the preloader inside or outside the flash author environment it plays the swf. If I change the swf to a new file name and resave the flash file with a new name it won't play the new swf. I am using FlashMX 2004 Prof.
Code:
/* First thing to do is set the stage size of this movie at the same size as your "to be loaded" movie, and re-position the display elements to your liking. Also set the same framerate as your movie. Then replace "YOUR.swf" in 2 of the lines below, with the name of your movie. Last, make sure your present movie is cleared of any preloader.*/
// Hides displayed elements
this.reelmc._visible = false;
this.loadbar._visible = false;
percent_display = "";

I'm building an application which will have a control to play, pause, step forward & step back through different versions of my visualisation - like the controls on your tape deck, but moving my visualisations through time, instead of that battered old Simon & Garfunkel recording.
I would have thought that my various animations would listen out for a particular event which fires on each 'beat' and tells it the time currently on the time line. My 'play' button then kicks off some code which causes one of these 'beat' events to be fired every second (or 5 seconds, depending on the speed selected). The 'step forward' button would cause a single event to be fired, and so on.
Assuming my design makes sense, I'm not clear how I would generate those events at regular intervals. Alternatively, my design might not make sense or be the most effective one for the job.

What I'm trying to accomplish is creating faux control ability. It just needs to look like there's user input.The specifics:to the right of the screen is a window with 6 tabs that you can drag. I want the window above the tabs to have green bars that increase vertically as you drag up and decrease as you drag down. I thought I would be able to asign variables of position1, ""2, ""3, etc. Then set up a <= if then statement to say:if tab1_mc is less than 280 px for it's _y then tell greenbar1_mc to gotoAndStop(3);That didn't work, so, I figured I could just forget the var's and set up some AS that can constantly get the value of the tab1_mc's _y and then go through an if then AS that would tell the greenbar1_mc to gotoAndStop(respective frame);

I built a pretty simple Flash movie for a client and put a preloader on frame 1. The preloader works fine then the movie plays. What is happening is if you go to another page on the site and then go back to the home page all you see is the preloader bar fully loaded but the movie doesn't play. You have to refresh the page for the swf to play again. It is doing it to me in Firefox but not IE 8 and it is doing it in IE8 on my clients computer...
Here is the code.
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void{ var loaded:Number = e.target.bytesLoaded; var total:Number = e.target.bytesTotal; var pct:Number = loaded/total; loader_mc.scaleX = pct; loaded_txt.text="Loading..." + (Math.round(pct * 100)) + "%";}function onComplete(e:Event):void { gotoAndPlay(2);}
Here is a screen cap of what is happening. After you go back to the homepage all you see is the rpeloader bar fully loaded without the load text.

I've been reading a Flash book, and it tries to explain how you can use Action script to create a preloader that will play a movie clips frames based on the amount of bytes loaded. I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10);
function preloader() {
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()) {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
} myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(_framesloaded/_totalframes*(myMovieClip._totalframes)));
}
This is on the first frame of my movie. I've also have a stop action on the first frame of my movie clip. I've attached the FLA for dissection....ts?

It's all about loading and unloading external swf's.My code is working perfectly though I just have some questions about load and unload issues.
------------------------------------------------------------
I have three buttons on the stage and it should load its external SWF
homeButton_btn - home.swf
page1Button_btn - page1.swf
page2Button_btn - page2.swf
Each of the button should load it's external SWF's intro when click.My problem is that I don't know how to command the button to play the swf's outro and then load the next swf everytime I click a button. Example: When I click homeButton_btn, the external swf should load "home.swf" and then if I am going to click page1Button_btn, the outro of "home.swf' should play and then once it reaches the end of it's timeline, it should load "page1.swf". Same goes with page2Button_btn, whatever swf that is on the stage should play it's outro first and then load "page2.swf"
My questions are: 1. How can I control the external SWF to play it's outro and then load the next SWF.
2. What code should I put at the end of the external SWF's timeline.
3. Where do you think I should put the preloader? Is it better to put it at the external swf timeline? or on my main swf timeline?
4. Does load and unload of external swf also work with movieclips? Like for example I will not use a external swfs, instead I will use movieclips to load and unload its content.My Actionscript 3.0 code
var pageContainer:Loader;
pageContainer = new Loader();
var nextMov:String;[code].........

I have created some functions to manage timed pause/play in an animation and I am trying to make a class from them, but it does not work, the play() and stop() functions I use have no effect. The functions work as intended when not in the class.
Here is my code:
package anim {
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
[Code]...
I checked that the functions are executed with the trace() and it is the case, so the problem really comes from the play() and stop() functions, and I do not receive any error at compilation or runtime.
