ActionScript 2.0 :: F8: ONE Preloader For All Clips Using MovieClipLoader
Jul 21, 2006
I'm using a MovieClipLoader to load multiple images into multiple movieclips, and I would like to have a preloader bar that loads them all at the same time, rather than one after the other. I've seen some that dynamically create empty movie clips on the fly, but I need to load my images into specifically named and placed movieclips.
As far as I can tell, my script should update a global variable for total bytes loaded so far(totalLoaded) and another for total bytes to be loaded (totalToLoad). I am able to get that second variable accurately, but not the first--the slower the connection is (with Simulate Download), the closer it gets to 100, but never quite makes it. (With local testing speed it only reaches around 60%!)
Maybe this has something to do with a difference between getProgress and onLoadProgress?
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("dash_holder", -10);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("bar_holder", 20);
dash_holder._x = bar_holder._x = 0;

I'm having troubles with my preloader showing up when it's on the server. It seems to work fine when testing it locally, the preloader (a circle) spins until the clip is loaded, then it goes away. When it's on the server, nothing happens, and when the image is loaded it shows up as it's supposed to, the preloader never shows up.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",100);
this.attachMovie('circle','circle',1,{_x:Stage.width/2,_y:Stage.height/2,_visible:false,_width:26.4,_height:25});
//the image to load
theImg = "bannerImgs/1.jpg";

I cant seem to make my preloader disappear after the MovieClipLoader class has determined the load is complete. I have a movieclip I attach onto the stage called thumbnailModule_mc inside of it I have the preloader movieclip (a simple spinning circle) and the image holder movieclip that the MovieClipLoader is listening to see when the image load is complete. When the load completes I want to set the alpha to zero and fade in the image. But my code doesn't work! the preloader stays visible.
Here is my code:
Code:
function loadHomeBar(xmlFileName:String) {
var homeSideBar:XML = new XML();
homeSideBar.ignoreWhite = true;

How can I get my preloader to look at the size of individual clips?I have taken the percentage preloader code from this site and simply added the instance name of the clip I want to preload, but it doensn't work?
bytes_loaded = Math.round<b>(_root.images.</b>getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round<b>(_root.images.</b>getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;

I've created a movie clip that contains several buttons that each load a separate movie clip when they are clicked. I would like to create a pre-loader for each of the separate movie clips because they will be rather large files when I finish adding content to them.
Below is the code I used to get the buttons load the movie clips. How to incorporate a pre-loader into this code
Code:
//##### My Code
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);//first, the loaded clip is added to the stage wl
myLoader.x = 140;//then it is positioned

I'm writing a preloader to load external movie clips but my function doesn't seem to be working properly. I call the function and it says that 100% is loaded and makes the movie clip thats showing the out put invisible...thats what supposed to happen except for the going to 100% straight away. the percent is being calculated properly but i think that the function is being executed before the new movie even starts to load...i've tried movieClip.onData but it doesn't seem to work..
Well heres the code
Code:
function loader() {
percentClip._visible = true;
targetClip._visible = false;
percent = 0;

I have a menu which attach movie clips from the library, when I first probed the preloader there were not any linked movie clips, neither png files (because each button in the menu attach a picture which is inside the movie clip) now that I have put the movie clips in the library the preloader doesn't work and I don't know why.

function ScreenprintsLoad(screenprints_xml){

for(var i = 0; i<screenprintsThumbs.length; i++){

the xml structure is fine. But right now only the last thumb is showing.I've used this method before to load one image, but not in a loop.

I am setting up a flash game with seven toggle on/off buttons that all do the same thing.I know how to assign them all to be able to do the same function in the main timeline. What I can't figure out is how to get them all to also do the same function within each of their respective movie clips.
Here's the code:
Code: Select allstop();
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, RO_DontDrive);
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, ROut_DontDrive);

I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).

it goes to a certain point in the timeline, which then initiates some code to load a movie clip onto a certain part of the screen.I made a sample swf to be loaded(home.swf), but the thing is, I dont want the user to see the things that are off the page of home.swf, that the user couldn't normally see... i was wondering the best way to solve this.As you can see, i already tried sizing the clip, but that only made it extremely small and didn't solve the problem.he main timeline :
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("content_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I'm trying to take full advantage of the movieClipLoader along with listeners. But my callbacks aren't getting triggered. Inside one function I loadClip, when onLoadComplete happens I set the onRelease function. Within that onRelease I call another function ("cdPress") that also loads bigger images inside a clip.None of the callbacks in the cdPress function are working. The function is being called successfully, but the "onWhatever" callbacks are not.
Code:
function someFunction(){
cdListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc) {
target_mc.onRelease = function() {

I'm trying something that should be fairly simple. I want to:- load a jpg into a container clip- when that image is loaded, then duplicate it and move it to a different position- then do a whole bunch of other stuffI'm doing all that using MovieClipLoader.onLoadInit(), and when tracing the duplicated movieClip, without fail, it returns undefined.
Code:
var detailImg:MovieClip;
// create a loader to handle loading the full image

In one situation we have one movie that chooses randomly to load one of two other movies. On one server it works fine. On another server, flash says there are no errors and that it loads correctly (i tested this using onLoadError and onLoadInit). There are no errors and the onLoadInit is called correctly, but what is in the movie wont display after being loaded.In another situation, the user can upload a photo to the server and then that photo is used in the game. The photo upload works properly, the photo gets put on the server and all that jazz. Now on the one server, the loading of the image works fine, it shows up and everything. But then on this other server, yet again the photo says it loads properly with no errors, but it doesnt dipslay it. But I can go on wiht the rest of the game working fine... just no photo... has anyone run into this before?
Oh yes, and it also works on my home server, so it works on two servers and not this other one. So that makes me think it's a server issue, but if that was the case wouldnt flash throw errors if it couldnt work? And like i said, flash at least says it's loading the photo correctly!

I recently began working on a large game. The main swf that all the levels load from also acts as a runtime library. When the MovieClipLoader loads the next level, if that level imports any mc's from the main swf then it won't load. It works fine straight from the HDD though.
I could really use a hand. I've used up most of my brain power figuring out the source of the problem (there's a lot of stuff to sift through).
I mis-spoke before. The MCL will load level.swf, I see the progress bar and OnLoadInit executes which should mean that the first frame of the level was initialized, but nothing appears.

when i was trying to build in the banner images i bumoped into weird problems. At first my cs4 for pc stoppped working everytime so backup to cs3 this also stopped working everytime so i went working through guest account which seems to work ok.ok back to the other problem. on this link you can see the website there is loading an image in the banner by an movieClipLoader this why i can adjust the image size when it's done loading. I want to make everything sizeable. when the site loads for the first time the image won't show, but when refreshing the site, suddenly the image does show.testing this all local works. But online not! so i tried testing local retrieving the images from the web. i got this sandbox error. oke added system.security.allowdomain("*") for the wildcard, really weird cause it's just an image (bitmap) which is called.[code]
