View 2 RepliesIs it possible to preload movies into levels just like you can preload them into movieclips? I want my different movies to be loaded into levels so when a button is pressed, they are already loaded and ready to go. This is what I have so far.[code]...

how can i make a preloader load multiple external (mp3) files before entering the site itself?
View 1 RepliesI 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'm working on a "TV" in Flash where I use several videos running at the same time, so the videos tend to be lagging in the beginning. I think I would need a loading bar to show the user when the TV is ready to be turned on. [code]...
View 0 RepliesI 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.

View 4 RepliesI have 3 external swfs which I load into a mainmovie. I need to preload them to make sure they start at the same time. I just need a super basic preloader, but it needs to load all 3 swf and once loaded, start
View 13 RepliesI'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();

I know how to preload and load external swfs into my flash mx movies... however, now I have to load more than one at a time and play them when they are all loaded.I suspect I must incorporate some sort of array into my preload function but do not knowhow...
View 1 Repliesthis is how im trying to preload external swf files:
[code]...
i am loading first four swf files from swf directory (page1.swf, page2.swf, page3.swf, page4.swf) - However, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE INVISIBLE WHEN THEY ARE PRELOADED TO THE STAGE.. how should i do that.. "fileLoad._visible = false;" does not work
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.
View 1 RepliesI 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 need to be able to preload multiple .swf's while a movie is running. These files will later be called and placed into an empty movie clip. Here's what I've come up with.

loadListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc) {
trace("loading...");

I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files.Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play.I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed.The image are loaded from an xml file. 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:
Code:
private function loadImages():void {
Loop through the images in the xml file and then load them
for (var i:int = 0; i < totalItems; i++) {[code].....
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.

View 6 RepliesI have obtained the Free Video to Flash Converter v 4.7.25 build 602 from www.dvdvideosoft.com, and find it creates flash movies from my .wmv files fine.
I selected the 'New Maxi' player and after converting a file, sample HTML script is provided to put onto a web page. Also, it directs copying the contents of the folder in which the movie is created into the folder that contains the web page.
I've done this OK, as can be seen on [URL] where there are four movies selectable amongst the 'still' pictures (e.g. 9th row, first column).
Each uses a hyperlink to a separate page for each movie containing the script provided above in its own folder with the copied contents mentioned above. This all works OK, and enables a full-screen view of the movies if required.
My query concerns the fact that I duplicate most of the files and folders for each movie page, when only the actual .flv and preview .jpg are different.
I've tried putting the 'common' files into a separate folder ( fl ) and only keeping the html page and settings.xml in each movie page folder. I put all four flv files in the fl.videos folder.
I amend the references to swfobject and videoPlayer in the individual four movie html pages by putting ../fl/ in front, and similarly with the videos location in settings.xml
When I do this, I get a black rectangle, but no controls, no start picture and no video.
Is it necessary to unload Movies in Flash, or can I keep multiple movies loaded simultaneously? Are there memory requirements that make it necessary to limit the number of Flash movies loaded at one time?
View 1 RepliesI bought a template from flashmo which comes one main flash file and photoalbum fl. file. The main flash file plays swf. file from photoalbum. I like to create many photoalbums and play them on the main file.I have no idea how to do that. I spend hours and hours searching online but I cannot find information.The actionscript that is related to playing movie is below.
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
//
var numMenuX = 605;
[code]....
I'm using the MovieClipLoader () class to load 1 swf and 1 jpg, what I want is that once BOTH are loaded a certain command get executed.
Right now the command get executed twice, since it does it once the swf is loaded, and once the jpg is loaded:
[AS]
var pagecontent = new MovieClipLoader();
pagecontent.loadClip(page + ".jpg", _root.mc_foto.mc_fposition);
pagecontent.loadClip(page + ".swf",_root.mc_cposition);
[code]....
i save this code from some forum, but it has some problem I do understand,look and try it and see if it can solve this out.
Code:
contArr = ["01.swf", "02.swf", "03.swf", "04.swf"];
function preloadClips(nr) {
[code].....
In short I am trying to have a looping movie clip (already an flv) on the 1st frame with a button that goes to the next frame where the movie only plays once (transition) and goes to frame 3,loads up a menu with a movie clip thats looping and from then a menu that links to other looping movies on different frames with text etc.
