I would like to load and display an external jpg before my main preloader begins.
Basically this is for a game and I would like to display an advertisement jpg then keep this up while the game preloads.
I tried the following code on the first frame but it doesn't seem to work.
Code:
var myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener = new Object();
myListener.onLoadInit = function () {

This is my first time ever constructing a web site ONLY using Flash 8. I normally just use elements here and there, and I am totally confused. The link to the project is here: [URL] I want the site to be set up so that when I click a button (at the bottom), an external .swf file loads into that gray box in the center. How do I start? Where do I start? I should be able to figure this out, but I am stuck.

I have my main swf file and two external swf files i'm trying to load into the main one. I have preloaders for each external swf file but when I have the main swf file it won't load the preloaders it seems to be loading the entire thing and then showing the swf. How do i change that to showing the preloaders i already have? here is my code at the beginning on each external swf,

I am trying to build a website with a preview window to display pieces of work when you click on a thumbnail. Each piece of work will be it's own swf, because there will be several images to show in each example, and I want to have a cool blur/fade in and out of each, and I want it to loop.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to load the swf into a "preview box", and have a preloader calculating the size and all that. So when you click a button, depending on the size of the external swf, the preloader will pop up and on completion, the swf will load. Not sure where to put the preloader code or where I should put the preloader in the first place.

I need to load external swf's into a gallery. But for some reason I can't picture how to set it up on the timeline. This is for college homework.
I have the entire gallery set up and working but I just don't have the preloader for the three external images. However, I do have a preloader working fine for the site itself.
Here's the code for the external swf's:
ActionScript Code:
loader.load(new URLRequest("1.swf"));
var movieName:String;

I have an image gallery that I made with this tutorial (AS3 Photo Viewer Tutorial), and I'm trying to get an external preloader to load it. The only tweaks I've made to the tutorial file have been to change the stage size, and change the name and contents of the xml file.The preloader, which uses something I downloaded from preloaderz, worked with another, simpler swf, but when I try it with this one, I get
Quote:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at PhotoViewer()
I don't know why this won't work. Another thing I don't quite get is how the .as file is attached, because the PhotoViewer.fla file appears to be blank, with nothing I can see in the timeline/ stage, or in the actionscript. Before trying the external preloader, I tried adding one to PhotoViewer.fla, using script from the ActionScript 3 Classroom in a book, which worked in their lesson file, but not with this file. I also tried moving the script to the .as file, but that didn't work either.I'm using Flash CS4. If all else fails, I might have to try a simpler image gallery, that would hopefully work with a preloader, but I like how this one looks.

I have my preloader loading my main swf where I'm loading another swf that contains a background.
When my preloader is done it shows my main swf but it takes a while after that for the background to load.
Whats the easiest way to get my preloader to wait until the background swf is done loading?

I have created the following preloader saved as "preloader.swf" that loads an external SWF file as follows:[code]I was reading to try avoid the PROGRESS and COMPLETE events since these events don't work 100% of the time.Now my question is this: is there a way of how I can go about to have the same functionality of loading an external SWF file (as above) but WITHOUT using the PROGRESS and COMPLETE events?

how to load audio and have it ready for after the preloader. I had it export for actionscript before but it loads before the preloader starts which really elimates much of the need for the preloader.

I'm making a portfolio site in FLASH MX 2004 that displays images from an external folder, indexed in an array.I've set it up so that a user clicks on a button to get a different image from an array - the images are loaded externally - the alpha value for the current image is set to zero and then the border around the image shrinks to 80x50.Then the new image is preloaded (using a simple bar in a movie clip to graphically display this in the 80x50 border). Then the width and height of the image are read and the border is dynamically sized to fit around the image and the alpha value of that is set to 100 to show it.
THE PROBLEM:An if statement is used so that when the border shrinks to be exactly 80x50, the call to"photo_mc.loadPhoto(image[i]);" is triggered, where the selected image is preloaded and the details of its width and height are retrieved to send to another function, which sizes the border and sets alpha of image to 100.But, as the condition is always true (i.e. border remains @ 80x50 during preload), the preloader freezes, as the call to send the image to the loadPhoto function is perpetually made. When running the finished flash movie (with photos loaded locally) on my computer, obviously there is no preloader and it all works as planned. Only when you run it online this happens.
to see what I mean. (if you look on mozilla firefox you can actually see the function getting called perpetually - the preloader keeps resetting to 1pixel, but the photos eventually load!)HERE'S THE RELEVANT ACTIONSCRIPT:INFO_instance names:photo_mc = the empty movie clip into which the images are loadedborder = the border that fits around the image displayed in photo_mc-----//This function is called whenever a button is clicked to change the photo displayed in photo_mc
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function() {
photo_mc._alpha = 0;
var dw = 80;

Been trying to load my main SWF through my external preloader, however no mater what i do I'm getting this: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.text.engine::FontDescription could not be found. Could this be due to TLF embedded fonts or things being loaded on the first frame of my main site?

I need to load an external movie that includes some video. That external movie is like 95mb. How can I preload everything so that there is no lag when I get to the scene where I load the external swf? This movie, of course, is not getting put on the internet. I am using Flash as sort of a high end Powerpoint app. Not sure if this is just a basic preloader or not.

OK In a previous game on the same AS (2), I made a preloader, the code worked fine, all of the code was isolated on one frame so on another game I copied the frame and pasted into my other game. but the only difference is that one of my games is using flash player 8 (working preloader) and the other is using flash player 6 (not working.) Im using the same code.here is the frame code (all of it on frame):

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].....

I am making a preloader for a 360* product viewer and i'm having some trouble. the preloader works fine and when placed by itself loads the second the page requests it. but once i put it in my .fla project something causes the preloader to not load. and instead starts playing once the file is completely downloaded.
there are only two frames. the first frame just has the preloader movie in it. the action code for the preloader movie is:
Code:
_parent.stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_parent.getBytesTotal()>1) {

I went through Claudio's preloader transition tutorial on kirupa ([URL]). I have tried to apply it to my own fla and everything seems to work fine EXCEPT I can't get any of the external swfs to load into the empty movie clip called "content". And yes, I have checked and rechecked to make sure that all MCs have instance names!
