ActionScript 2.0 :: Challenge To Center Working Preloader

May 19, 2010

I'm in a bit of a pickle and can't sort my way out. I'm loading an external swf that has a preloader on Scene 1, and the main content on Scene2. While the content on Scene 2 centers nicely, the preloader content refuses to do so.

Here's what I've got on my main project timeline:
Code:
mcHMI.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay("over");
} mcHMI.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay("off");
[Code] .....}

As mentioned, the swf loads just fine and stays centered at any resize. The preloader will jump to another position when you resize.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Center Of Image Not Working?

Feb 21, 2010

I have am trying to establish the center of the imags that load so that I can put them in the center of the stage. I am doing this as each image is a different size.
 
Here is the code i have gotten to work before but its not working now and I have been searching to find what I have done wrong with no luck. : ( Would you look it over and maybe you will see what I am doing wrong?
 
 public function placePicture(e:Event = null):void {
rawImage = imageData.image[imgNum].imageURL;
lastImageIndex = imageData.*.length() - 1;

[Code].....
 
and I tried doing all of the above by inserting the loader into a sprite and then applying the code to the sprite and then adding that sprite to another sprite and putting that at 640 and not inserting it in another sprite and trying to straight up put the existing sprite at 640 (hopefully that all makes sense). And I have tried to put it to width/3 and nothing different happens.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Retrieve Instance Name Parent Challenge

Jan 16, 2010

An external application sends an instance name to flash over TCP/IP.I have code that parses out the communication and retreives the instance name (not it's absolute path).I then need to retreive the instance name's parent in actionscript. The instance name that gets sent is a child of specific movieClip, there are several movieclips on the stage. I need to know it's specific parent name..the code is placed on the main timeline.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Coding Custom Widget Challenge?

Aug 17, 2009

Given a few months on my own, I could probably hack something together, but an experts input would be much nicer.This is a custom Google Voice widget/form. I have the backend code, and can share, but right now I need all these pieces to fit together. It is mostly ELSE/IF statements, starting with the first page, and transitioning to the next widget page depending on the data input, correct or incomplete/incorrect as the variables determining which widget page to open.This will definitely take some Flash skills too, but minimally.Currently the SCENE1 page just shows each of the different widget pages and is not meant to represent the final widget - the final widget will be the first page and when clicked transition to a widget/form different page in the same spot, and again, depending on the input.If you want to give it a try, you can download the .FLA here:

FYI: This same widget HAS been sucessfully programmed in AJAX, with it's tons of code and multiple files, but the challenge was to make it work the same way in Flash. This is the very first TRUE custom Google Voice widget - all others I've found are custom icons that when pressed launch Googles GV widget - so this widget is one of a kind! You can view the working widget and download all the AJX components here if you'd like

ActionScript 2.0 :: Challenge For The Kids Mouse Wheel Not Stopping?

ive been trying to modify this text drag script to enable it to use the mouse wheel. ive managed to make it scroll with the mouse, but i cant seem to make it limit itself to the boundaries of the mask, like the dragger behaves. it just keeps scrolling upwards or downwards to infinity. i was thinking if there was a way to make it behave like the dragger. here is the script if u want to take a look. at the bottom i added the mousewheel listener and attached it to the dragger, and it works perfectly, but as i said, it doesnt stop like when you click it and drag it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Impossible Challenge Multi Turn Rotator / Spinner Animation Controller

Jul 21, 2010

So im opening it up to the commuity as a programming challenge!!For something which i assumed would be very simple, writting a robust and solid multi turn spinner handle for flash in as3 has become the bane of my life.Feel free to download my attempts so far (attached), which cover the basics of a single rotation, and make it look like im further ahead than i actually am.The difficulty lies with the very specific things I personally need the spinner to do,and the fact its SO HARD to explain..Its actually used to control a piece of animation that is 72 frames long.I need the first "lap" of rotation to send the playhead to frames in the 1-36 range and the second rotation to send it to frames 37-72. So two full spins would take it to the final frame, one full spin would go half way to frame 36.

Problem is the rotator handle needs to be locked at the initial position, so a user can't drag it backwards to start with but can drag it backwards once theyve moved forwards. (think of turning on a hot water tap, many turns in one direction until it stops fully on, then the same turns back again to reach the original start position of fully off)I also need the rotator to be able to be used in anti clockwise and clockwise modes.The ideal is to be able to set the total number of animation frames to be controlled and the number of rotations required to reach the final frame, then have the spinner work everything else out for me.

Flash8 :: Preloader Isn't Actually Working?

Mar 15, 2010

my preloader isn't actually working,trying to load the page on a PC with quite slow internet... The story is following - my preloader animation plays, but only after the whole movie is loaded, cuz I noticed a huge delay before the preloader was actually played... And then I used that flash speed testing thing (sorry, but I don't know how it's called) and it proved my theory... That's the code on 1-st frame, where preloader is:

Actionscript Code:
stop();var loaded:Number = getBytesLoaded();var total:Number = getBytesTotal();var percent:Number = Math.floor((loaded*100)/total);if (loaded == total){gotoAndPlay (2);}else{    _preloader.gotoAndPlay(percent);    //loadBar.percentage.text = percent;}[code].....

Preloader Stop Working ?

Jun 15, 2010

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: External Preloader FLA Not Working?

Aug 19, 2009

I export all my stage assets to frame 1, so the external preloader FLA is the approach I've been using for a while to show the nice percentage before the real SWF is loaded. I've just finished with a project and I'm getting errors when the file is done loading.The file works fine as long as it's not it a Loader component (stand-alone SWF), but as soon as I try to get it in the preloader it gives me a ton of errors.

The only major thing I did differently with this project is that a number of classes have their own individual Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners and that *I'm making a lot of stage calls* from various classes to get locations and what-not. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the latter, since I used the stage width/height for a lot of the positioning (stage.stageWidth/2, stage.stageHeight/2, etc).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader Not Working But LoadMovie Is?

Sep 19, 2009

I've got a strange problem with my new flash website. I've been able to code a preloader for loading in different .swfs into my main .swf file. This works fine locally and even when I simulate the download in Flash. But when I've uploaded it to my website the preloader no longer works. Basicly the swf file does load into the current swf but without the loading bar and percentage reading.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader Not Working Correctly?

Oct 4, 2009

I am working on a website and I would like it to have a preloader.This website is scripted using Flash CS3 and AS2.There are two scenes, one is "preloader" the other is "tsh".roblem is, the swf file does not display while it loads, then after it loads it displays the preloader for a second and jumps right into the next scene. How can I make it load the preloader scene first, then preload the "tsh" scene? - I have put this code into "preloader"Frame 1:

Code:
var loaded:Number = Math.round ((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
mc_slider._x = -500 + (loaded*5);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader Not Working For 35 MB Swf File?

Aug 15, 2009

I'm working on a glorified slideshow, it has a music track that is 3+ minutes long, pretty nice graphics, and transitions. I started builing in Flash and am halfway done... it looks great too !

Problem is, when I'm testing the preloader with the download profiler set to DSL - it crawls and at 1% and on, the soundtrack starts to play... by the time the download is at 42% its at least a minute into the soundtrack and it's in and out, coming on then cutting out but not starting over. Needless to say, this is not okay! I know it's a huge file. SHould I maybe export it as an mov and put it in a FLV player?

Professional :: Preloader Swf Not Working In HTML

Jan 31, 2011

I've made a basic RSS news feed widget with a preloader. When I test the preloader in Flash it works fine, counting to 100% and bringing in the widget proper at the end. This happens both if I test the movie outright or simulate the download.
But now I've embedded the preloader in an HTML file using swfobject 2.2, and the browser will only display the first frame of the preloader and go no further, ie it 'freezes' at 0%. When I open the actual preloader .swf file, it's the same - it just stops at 0% even though it worked fine previously when

I exported it from its .fla file.Weird thing is, if I bypass the preloader and embed the widget file in my HTML, it works fine. This is for an assignment however, and I need to build a preloader as part of the criteria.All files (ie the widget .fla and .swf, the html and the preloader .fla and .swf) are in the same folder. Someone advised me when I made a bitmap in the preloader into a movie clip to uncheck the "export in frame 1" box, so I did this. It didn't work. Then someone else advised me to make sure the textbox containing the percentage count was a classic textbox with dynamic text. I did, and it's still not working.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Preloader Not Working Online?

Aug 30, 2009

I have been on a hunt for weeks, on and off, but I can't seem to find a solution, or even a direction to look in. Long story short, I am using CS4, AS3, and I can not get any type of preloader to work when accessing it online. I have made my own, tried every example file I could find, but not one of them or the possible solutions I found for them will work.

The example files I have used all work from my computer, both by accessing the swf in a browser, or testing within Flash itself, but once I upload them they have all hit one problem or another. I have had the preloader not show up at all, and show immediately but not count down, depending on the type of preloader it is. The only amount of narrowing down I have been able to do is that I can make a preloading frame, but as soon as that frame tries to find out the % loaded of the overall movie, it stops working properly.At the moment I am simply using:

Code: Select alladdEventListener('enterFrame', preloader);
function preloader (e:Event){
if (framesLoaded == totalFrames){[code]...

I put a movieclip on the frame to show that something is happening, but I have not been able to successfully use code to allow for a loading bar, text %, etc.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Preloader No Longer Working With External Jpg?

Sep 4, 2009

i tried looking here with the keyword 'preloader', to find answers to my problem but I didn't.I'm a freshman AS3 developer....with a portfolio site to launch asap.

I have a movieClip in my library that is exported to AS (external jpg) - it is loaded separately from anything else in my scene (which is disrupting my normal preloader animation). When I simulate the download my preloader doesn't appear in my preview window, and I have no error message either. At first, not sure what the problem was I tried various preloader tutorials online hoping to find a solution.
I only realized later on that my preloader didn't work because of my external jpg.How can I make my preloader (code below) load everything altogether? (elements in my scene + external jpg)

PRELOADER (first frame);
Code: Select allimport flash.display.MovieClip;
