ActionScript 2.0 :: Falling Leaf Animation In Preloader?
May 19, 2008
I'm making a portfolio site in Flash. It's my first complete Flash site, but I know the basic stuff and I'm trying out some actionscripting. So far I have the site itself, with working navigation and a preloader. But I want to have a animation of falling leaves in the preloader, so people have something to look at when the wait for the site to be loaded. It also fits with the general "feel" of the site. I've been trying to do this by using the Falling Snow v2 tutorial from Kirupa, but something is unclear to me. I inserted the movieclip snow_mc, made the leaf, converted it to another movieclip snow, gave the instance name for this clip snow(I'm just following the tutorial, that's why the leaf is called snow and all) copy-pasted the first actionscript part of the tutorial on the first frame in the snow-mc clip, but then I don't know where to put the rest of the AS. The tutorial says to select the snow clip and press F9 and paste, but to do mean on the first frame in the snow clip? Because I keep getting these errors:
**Error** Symbol=snow, layer=action, frame=1:Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent (load) {
**Error** Symbol=snow, layer=action, frame=1:Line 16: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {[code].....

I have used AS3 to create falling snow in an animation. However, once i get to a certain frame I would like the snow to be completely removed from the stage. I have tried 'removeChild' as well as slicing the array, but nothing seems to work. The code I have used to create the falling snow is as follows:
Code:
// first make an array to put all our snowflakes in
var snowFlakes : Array = new Array();

I'm trying to make a banner with a small game where you control a trash can, and you try to catch some trash falling down the stage. Also I got a dynamic text field on my stage called "tekst", where I want my counter to be shown. At last I'm trying to make a if sentence saying that if etc. counter<10 go to url. When I run it now, the trash is moving all right, but I can't get the hitTestObject to work, its saying that hitTestObject is not a function? How to export my counter to the text field on the stage.
Code:
Mouse.hide();
var trash:trashcan = new trashcan;
var banan:Array = new Array();
var cskod:Array = new Array();
var velocity:Array = new Array();
var counter:int = new int();

I have some code here for some falling leaves. I was wondering how it can be altered so there is a delay between a group of leaves falling and the next group falling? also to slow down at the end of the fall? [code]

I have a tree being populated by an array collection. I don't have control of the data in the array collection and even when a node has no children it still has a "children" property that is causing my tree to treat every node as branch. I can do a simple check on the length of the array in the children property. If this is 0 I need the tree to display the node as a leaf, no disclosure icon. Any thoughts on how I can achieve this? It would be nice if there were a branchFunction like the iconFunction and labelFunction.

In a complex XML where I dont know the leaf node names/or the level of depth they are, how could I extract all the leaf nodes inside a XMLList variable directly?

I have to create a website in flash for a project that requires me to use the following animation:
Code: Select allimport fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;
[Code]......
I would ideally like this to run during the preloader sequence, but when that didn't seem to work, I figured I would just have it run before the preloader. Unfortunately, even though it works fine on it's own, it will not work when I place it within my website file. I originally had it contianed within a movie clip, and again, it would work okay in a separate file, once I added it to my website file, it stopped working, but I'm still not getting any errors. how to get it to move somehow, even if it has to happen before or even after the preloader?
I have uploaded both the animation in it's separate file (preload play) and the website file (spsite_0046) here: [URL]

I wish to build a preloader with some percentage animated movieclips alongside a percentage text.I post an example of where I am so far. I made two movieclips with things happening every 20 frames up to 100 frames. I wish to turn this into a percentage logic so that the actionscript makes my MC moves to the next 20 frames every 20%. See what I mean?

I was wondering how are circular preloaders done? Not just a preloader with a circular animation but actually a circle that grows with the progress... I'm sure there's some complicated math behind it and honestly I'm not a dear friend of math

I'm a french Webdesigner and I've a little problem to make a website in Flash. First, I make a preloader "simple_preloader.swf" to load the website "Easy.swf" but in fact the preloader doesn't work. I use an URLloader because with this component the different Tween start when the website is completely loaded.
Here's the AS3 code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

let's see if I can make this comprehensible. I have a template with an xml dynamic menu. When a button is pushed two movie clips are loaded: 1) a main clip, which has a Kirupa designed preloader taking up the first two frames and 2) a movie clip that contains "controls" (interactivity or animation) for the main clip. All worked great until I added the preloader. Now both movie clips load but the controls no longer act correctly. Do I have to tell the controls to jump to the third frame of the main clip or something because the preloader takes up the first two frames?

In my SWF I have two scenes. A preloader Scene and the actual scene where the magic happens...
I have made all the graphics for the preloader. It's my logo which is unmasking as the loading progress. The animated mask is keyframed, as the logo is abit complex.

I had to build a preloader for a fairly large swf and of course the design of the preloader is a bit complex - it's got to have two looping timeline animations running in it at the same time.I did my best to simplify these as much as possible, but they involve filters and pngs and... ugh.Needless to say, while flash is trying to do all the work of loading the movie AND running these two timelines over and over, it stutters. A lot. And looks bad, and all I can say is... well yeah.A preloader by definition has to be simple, doesn't it?

I'm using the code below on preloaders
loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes=Math.ceil (loadedbytes/1000);[code].....
It doesn't always show all of my preloader, ie: by about 25% of the preloader animation it jumps to the movie. I still want the preloader to play all the frames before it goes to the movie regardless of download speed. Also sometimes it sticks on the final frame of the movie for a few seconds and then jumps to the main scene.

I'm having difficulty getting checkboxes on only the leaf nodes of a tree.Before anyone links it, I've seen [URL] and this isn't exactly what I need. I don't want a 3-state checkbox system including both branch and leaf.I understand applying the checkbox item renderer to a data grid but not on a tree.

Introduction: I have a flat ArrayCollection of object's, which i group to create the dataProvider for an AdvancedDataGrid. In this AdvancedDataGrid i have different branches representing different type of tasks. I want to conditionally change the icon for the leaf nodes in the AdvancedDataGrid based on a date field stored in each object.For this purpose lets say each Task object contains an id and an updatedDate (Representing when the task was last updated). If the task has not been updated in the last five days (updatedDate+5 < today) the icon of that leaf node(Task) should be red, in constrast to the opposite the leaf icon in the AdvancedDatagrid should be green, e.g. like the image below. In this case task 35 has not been updated in the last 5 days, while 13 and 39 have.
Question: How do i change the leaf icons in the ADG based on the updatedDate of the underlying object? I would think that i have to extend AdvancedDataGrid and override some method, but which and how?I have seen easy ways of changing the open and closed icons on the web, but no way of conditionally changing an open node's icon :)

I am facing a very peculiar problem while creating a preloader in flash. I have created a flash image gallery entirely in flash as requested. And a preloader. Now when I test my movie in local machine using simulate download feature the preloader works just fine. However when I upload it on the server the first frame of the preloader can be seen and it freezes there nothing happens though after some time the movie loads and rest of the animation then plays fine. I have checked my code it doesn't give any error on compiling. The flash SWF is being inserted in a Joomla driven website. However, that will not be a cause of problem I guess as an old preloader seems to run fine. I am using Flash CS5 Demo. I also tried saving file in CS4 and then publishing it. Still no luck.

I don't get exactly how they do the whole preloader animation on: http://www.flashlevel.com/indexv4.html
every time i visit the page the whole preloader animation runs for 0 till 100. also if it is in your cache.
they use 20 stripes to load so (5 percent means 1 stripe!) but how can you animate your preloader if youre preloader does'nt always runs smoothly from 1 till 100?
