ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Preload Multiple Jpgs?
Sep 2, 2004
I'm currently making a xml driven photo gallery. The first stage is loading in the thumbnails, each thumbnail will preload individually. I pretty close to acheiving this except my current script only loads in the first jpeg. I have tried everything and I jsut can't find a problem. Anyway my code is below if anyone gets a chance to look. Sorry its a bit hefty. I think the problem is with the ThumbLoadingEnterFrame and LoadNextThumb functions.
PHP Code:
count = 0;
var thumbImage = new Array();
var thumbClip = new Array();
var jpegImage = new Array();
[code]....

I've been trying to preload 2 jpgs and then load them onto 1 movieclip which I move around the screen.Having the jpgs showing on 1 movieclip is vital to my animation. Tried various approaches using createEmptyMovie(),DuplicateMovie(), loadClip() etc. I'm sure this should be fairly easy but just can't get it to work.

I am building a portfolio disk with the awesome photo gallery AS from here. This will be run from a cd and I want to preload the images in the arrays to keep everything smoooooth. I am building on current machine. When I tested a disc image on an older machine the transitions were slooooow. I figure preloading would defeat this. Is there AS to accomplish this or is it something simple like hiding the images somewhere on the timeline and using a normal preloader?

I'm currently doing a script in which I have to preload some external resources (jpgs) at the begining of the animation.I dynamicaly create my MCs in which I do my loadmovies. Classical.Now the thing is, a few frames later, I need to reuse the images I have preloaded in other MCs.The thing is there seems to be a problem in using dynamicaly created MCs, here is why this is weird :
- I import a MC from the library : I can duplicate it, and I *see* it on the animation
- the MC that I have created, that I *see* on the animation, doesn't want to be duplicated : by that I mean that when I duplicate it, it can't be seen.
Now if there is a simple explanation for that, I have another question : I have an empty MC in which I want to *copy* one of the very MCs that I have dynamicaly created at the beginingn what is the best method ? attachMovie ? doesn't seem to work, but yet again, all this might be related.

I'm trying to go through a for loop, create a movieclip for each database entry, add the image by url stored. The problem is the code I have only does the last image. I know it's because something is not incrementing and they all have the same name. Do I need to increment the name of my loader?[code]...

I'm creating an interactive tour (pretty much a controllable slideshow) and I have multiple pictures now that, if in the correct order, will walk you around my school. You can turn left or right at doors (the picture that you're stopped at will wait for input from either the up, left, or right button and when clicked will take you to the corrisponding picture) and will eventually lead you out another entrance of the school and take you back to the main map.
My problem lies in the pictures... I have hundreds of pictures each one needing to be referanced. The only thing I have figured out is that I need to use arrays to organize these pictures and make them easier to access. I have considered using XML to organize the lists of pictures but I cannot spend hours typing out all the names of the pictures.access my pictures from outside my flash AS3 project.

I'm loading multiple instances of the same jpg dynamically to my swf. It works just fine locally, but when I upload it, it only executes the first loading code it encounters in the timeline. I was doing things fairly complexly with 'for' loops and dynamic name generation and stuff, but I've stripped it down to the basics in an effort to get this to work.
Here's some code:
loadMovie('1.jpg', mc1.empty_mc);
loadMovie('1.jpg', mc2.empty_mc);
mcLoader.loadClip('1.jpg', mc3.empty_mc);
mcLoader.loadClip('1.jpg', mc4.empty_mc);
mcLoader.loadClip('1.jpg', mc5.empty_mc);
as you can see, I'm using two different methods of loading the jpgs, just in an effort to pin down exactly what is going on. Locally, they all load fine. When I upload to the server, only the first instance of the loading code is run (so mc1 will get its jpg, but the rest won't). I've tried to swap the order, place the loading code in different areas, try to load different jpgs into each empty mc, but nothing works except that first instance flash gets to in the timeline.
The swf and jpgs are all in the same folder, both locally and on the server. The server the swf is hosted on is Windows 2003 box if that matters. I tried uploading it to a different windows box and got the same problem.

I would like to have just a single preloader in the beginning of a SWF movie and I want it to show the total download progress of multiple external resources (pictures, sounds, other SWF files, etc.)Is it possible to preload multiple resources in one go and display their total progress with a single preloader?
To be more specific: the movie starts, the preloader loads and gets displayed, then the preloader is displaying 0% progress and builds up to 100% while it loads sounds, images and other SWF files in the background, then when all resources are loaded, preloader goes away and movie continues with the available resources ready to be attached.

I know how to do this for one XML file, but I'm interested in preloading multiple XML files (My data + config settings).
I thought of 2 ways, but I don't think they're very nice programming:
1. Preload the first XML and do another XML.load within the XML.onload. But that way, you get a lot of nested functions if you want to preload more than 2 files.
2. Preload both the XML files at the same time, and use a counter to check if all the XML.onload are executed.

What's the best way to preload a bunch of assets (namely images) using only one progress bar?
Will the ProgressEvent automatically tally up the bytesLoaded and bytesTotal numbers for everything being loaded through that event?

Flash CS4 using AS 2.0 for this.
Here's a simple problem I am having. I have a website made up from multiple swfs. Which open up over the index swf.
What I need to do is load 4 swf files into the memory so the transition between the page loads is smooth. The swfs are only a few kb in size but the delay in loading these (1 second) makes the transitions look very untidy. Once i've clicked on every section then the flashplayer has them stored in the cache so they run smooth, is there anyway just to load these in before the start page has loaded.
here is the website [URL]

However, I have a main movie and in there I open the multiple scenes. If I use the preloader alone with the scenes it works, but when I want to load the preloader that should open the scenes inside the main movie it doesn't do anything.
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("magazine.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
[Code] .....
In the old situation I use a button goto frame - and on the frame there is actionscript that says:
stop();
loadMovie("magazine.swf", 'placeholder');
have changed that to
stop();
loadMovie("preloader.swf", 'placeholder');

I have an external SWF which i load into my main SWF with URLloader.... that external SWF includes several FLV-movies. I´m not sure how they have been imported to that SWF, probably with FLV component.... but I´m not sure and I don´t have any idea of possible instance names either.....
My question is that can I still create a preloader that would load all used FLV-files into a cache, my goal is that user could start watching videos directly after pushing play button, without need to wait any buffering...
I know all the names and URLs of those FLV-files if that helps..I´m looking for actionscript 3 solution for my main SWF but if someone knows the way to do it with html-wrapper, that would do as well (I´m using SWFobject for html-wrapper)

I've an SWF which loads dinamically six FLV files controlled by actionscript code.My goal is to guarantee a smooth playback, so I've to do a global preload of each file.So, I've created an array. Each element of this array contains a custom objecte named PreloadFLV that contains a reference to a NetStream object in a field named flv_ns.To process the preloading, I do before a NetStream.seek(1), then NetStream.pause() and then with a Timer I check the percent progress.When the percent progress is equal to 100, I start the clip.This is a small piece of code:
preload_flv_array[queue_preloading].flv_ns.play(preload_flv_array[queue_preloading].path);
preload_flv_array[queue_preloading].flv_ns.seek(1);
preload_flv_array[queue_preloading].flv_ns.pause();

I need to make a preload script that needs to preload all the pages of a websites only once.I have 10 html pages with swf in it that I need to load in only 1 time. At first I had 10 preload script just before every pages but now I need only 1 to preload them all. My second issue is that I have many entry point, someone can enter from the index (1 link to the homepage), the sitemap (links to the 10 pages) or even could simply have the address of a specific page in their bookmarks. So is there a way to write a script that will check if the preload(for the 10 pages) have been done every time someone enter one of the 10 page and if it hasn't it start the preload.

I am not too familiar with flash / action script though it does look a lot like JavaScript which I am fairly familiar with.
what I need:
I have an animation that looks like an envelope is opening and a letter comes out. It works fine but what I want to do next is the tough part.
I want to be able to change the envelope images / letter via php. I am successfully passing in the parameters and images but unfortunately my preloader doesn't pre-load those external images causing the animations to lag or not show up. I need them to all be loaded in 1 preloader.
What I have so far:
in PHP I pass the variables via URL to the flash:
Code:
$invite = $_GET['inv'];
$env = $_GET['env'];
$vars = "inv=" . $invite . "&env=" . $env;

I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.here is the code:

Loop through the images in the xml file and then load them

I've got a Flash file that displays a series of .swfs one after the other and I'm trying to figure out how to encorporate a preloader into this script that takes into account the fact that I'm randomly selecting which of those .swfs to display first.
Here's what the attached script does so far:
1. Call external XML file and put .swf path names into an array.
2. Randomly select one of those .swfs to display first.
3. Once that .swf movie has played through (each one is about 6 seconds long) --OR-- if the "next" button is clicked, load the next .swf file.
4. When we've reached the last .swf file in the list, start back at the beginning of the list.
I have looked at a BUNCH of preloader scripts but just haven't grasped actionscript enough to know how to encorporate them into my file.

I am trying to eliminate the Loader component from a project. Run locally, the Loader is sufficient to load-up the voiceover swf files that exist on many of the frames in the parent file. On the web, the short download delays at runtime due to the Loader are causing timing issues. I'm not sure if there is a way to preload multiple swfs into specific frames of a parent file so that they are available before runtime.
