ActionScript 2.0 :: Claudio - Preloader And Transition For Dynamic Files
Mar 6, 2004
I used the 'Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files' Tutorial from the tutorials section
here is a link [URL] and have to say, I learned soooo much from it, and incorporated it into my website [URL]. How to put a percentage preloader for each of the sections when they load. The heavier the .swf file you are loading, the longer it takes, and I've gotten comments about this saying they would like to know how long they have to wait until they see something.
i read the Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files tutorial by claudio and i tried to use twise in the project. it works fine, the buttons work, in fact i did not change the code in the tutorial_complete.fla, i did the same for the photos.fla, and it works fine, but when i published the tutorial_completes.wf, i came with these two problems:
when i click the photos button in the tutorial_complete.swf, it load the photos.swf, but the code in the photos.swf does not work. it tried to change the name of the instance names and the labels, but nothing. the effect in the main buttons is great, but there is a broblem in the in the photos.swf buttons. files zipped here:[URL]
This pertains to the Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files tutorial here on kirupa. I've used this tutorial many times before but now for the first time i am using navigation that is inside a movie clip. instead of directly on the stage. I'm having problems with the content loading it just always says loading. Is there something that i would have to change in the transition code or my button code? all the code for my buttons is inside of nav_mc movie clip. here is my fla. to take a look at
i found out when i add a dynamic mask to my preloader progress bar (for transition out) its not scaling correct. I think its because my bar isn�t tweening to the correct "stageWidth" during progress until it completes. I setted it up like that:
Somehow it looks like 100% of the loading progress doesn�t represent the entire stageWidth so my bar animation finishes some pixels before reaching stageWidth end. NowJust noticed it now after adding a dynamic mask to my preloaders progress bar.
I used the transition for dynamic files tutorial and it works great.I only have a problem..ause it is dynamic i'm not able to use normal text, bgcolor and scrollable textfields in the external swf's and I want to
In this tutorial (Preloader and Transitions for Dynamic Files) there is an internal preloader that I wish to animate so it would paly a sequence before the new file loads. The sequence would then repeat itself until the new file does load.
I've made a simple preloader to my animation and its works great except transition between last frame and second frame (1 frame is preloader). In animation it looks for a disappear for a moment. For many flashes it doesnt make problem but in my case I must have continuously play after loading my flash. I'm attaching a ".fla" file to my post. [URL]. I think I must use loop in timeline from 2 frame to last after the preloader appear... but how I can do that...
Everything was going great with the advanced buttons and external page transitions.. But when I add a preloader the external pages no longer load.[code]I'm assuming its something here.. Like I need to tell it something like its off the _root. now because of the preloader being on a sense before.[code]
im making my portfolio website and i was wondering if its possible to make 2 things:
1) crossfade transition effect between photos like: [url].... (i know site isn't flash) (when loaded click on f.ex. editorial location, left side click is previous and right side next)
2) first photo on category as a preloader (filling up from top to bottom). i got my photos in category too (on different swf files) and for now im using simple strip preloader.
[URL] The website button function and External swf transition scripting is base on that tutorial. it would be great if i could let peoples to see the preloading process while my web loading the external swf file.. can any one here tell me how to add a preloader to show loading progress every time the external swf files loading?
I am currently accomplishing this by switching between two NetStream, NetConnection, VideoPlayer combinations. The problem is that it is considerably cumbersome. Is there a better (easier) way of doing this? I looked into the play2() method, but it doesn't seem to have any way of overlapping the streams to create a seemless fade-in/fade-out.
Does anyone know how I can adjust the speed of Cladio's scroll bar so when the arrows are clicked the scroll runs faster? Attached is Claudio's original file if needed. The speed variable has no effect on this? I tried adjusting the interval property of both the (up_btn and down_btn) to a lower number from "18" to "0" Like so...
[Code]...
This seemed to work when previewed in the player but once uploaded for some reason the scroll slowed down again? something to do with the frame rate? movie is set up at 30fps. Also, the content being scrolled is dynamically loaded via XML... Would this have anything to do with the lag?
fixing my XML thumbnail images to work with Claudio's scroller. The scroller doesn't adjust correctly to show all of the dynamically loaded thumbnails..? I found this thread explaining why this is happening but I haven't been able to correct the problem with the suggested fix.
http:[url]....Apparently the variable located inside my scroller,
is set before the XML has finished loading so does not calculate the correct mc_height to work with the scroller and show all the thumbs at the bottom... ?
I've been messing with the Claudio Scroller trying to get it working on an angle. Right now I've got it working but really buggy like and it has some issues. I got it working pretty much perfectly at the angle its set on right now in the fla, but I want it to be workable at any rotation without having to change any numbers.
ps - this is running flash 8 with as 2.0. the first file is for those with flash 8 the second file is for those with mx2004.
I understand from reading various forums that if you do not embed the font in to the movie the dynamic field won't fade with alpha. But when I try to enbed the font or setting embedFonts = true the text just disappears.
I have the text now with a tween just to show that the tween is working while the alpha is not.
I'm working with dynamic streaming transitions and I would know how to stop a manual switch transition. Ocasionally I want to let the user change the quality of the streaming while another request its working. The actual result is that the requests succeded in cascade, and it would be nice to be able of stoping or canceling an actual change.
How can I add a Squeeze transition effect between frames using the transition manager class on a simple slideshow using the goBack and goForward functions in ActionScript3? Below is the code I have so far:
stop(); function goBack(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]
I have a presentation using the "presentation" template that comes with flash. I am trying to transition slides with the behavior slide transition options. but I've learned that it works find while going into a slide and doesn't go to the next slide when leaving.So basically I want it so that on right arrow first play out transition then go to next slide.
I am able to get the Flash preloader working with say an image like JPG but when I attempt to have the preloader load a video it doesn't work. I read that in order to use a FLV file it needs to be embedded into a SWF file so preloader can work with it. One issue with embedding the FLV file into the SWF is the sound does not match up with video after that conversion which can kinda be fixed by changing the FPS. Needless to say I have not been able to get this working correctly. I am not sure if there is a work around for this issue.
I'm working with the following in Flash 8:1. A main SWF movie with 7 scenes and 1 scene is called Audio On the Audio scene I am loading 11 swf files for the individual songs in buttons.2. An SWF bunch of SWFs over 1mb each which are 30 sec mps songs, However, I need to get a preloader for each of the external swfs. Attached is a link to a preloader example I found and started to modify. [URL]Button Action Script
on (press) { stopAllSounds(); } on (release) { Sound; }
I am just trying to get the preloader to work with the home scene of the movie.The problem I have is the song buttons don't all appear on the home scene so I can't figure out why the preloader isn't loading everything then goes to the home scene..
I'm using this code for my preLoader:[code]And it works fine as a preLoader in that it adds the animation and counts up the percent of the swf that's loaded but only for the images on my stage. My code calls in some external mp3 files and I want the preLoader to wait until the external files are loaded too.[code]S'all pretty straight forward, I just want to make the preLoader wait until the mp3 files are loaded too.
I'm trying to add a preloader to external .swf files that will load into main site but when I test movie I get this:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
I broke it into about 8 parts. 1 being the "mainSWF". This one loads up, and has a preloaded on Frame 1. Once this is loaded, you get to a certain page, and it loads the first external SWF, inside of this one. This SWF still uses the backgrounds, of the "MainSWF". And when you get to the end of this SWF, it sends a "dispatchEvent" to trigger a function that unloads the current SWF, and loads the appropriate new one. THIS ALL WORKS!
What I am looking to happen, is have a preloader to load the these external SWF's. (Like I have on frame 1 of the "MainSWF".
I would like to have them on the first frame of each external SWF, simply because the first frame is a good frame to sit on while the loader happens. ANd the first frame of each External SWF is different. My MainSWF preloaded is working great, and its code looks like this[code]...
