how to make text acting as a preloader so that its color changes as preloader percentage. i dont mean how to apply the math, i mean how to mask it or whatever action to achieve that effect?
like for example imagine the red is constantly growing to the right letter by letter (actually pixel by pixel:
I need my custom made progress wheel in frame 1 to act as a preloader and navigate to frame 2 when the file fully loads.
View 3 RepliesI'm new to AS3.0 and migrating from AS2.0.I followed the excellent preloader tut by Lee Brimelow HERE Instead of a % increment, I would like a traditional graphics preloader bar which shows how much has loaded.How would you amend Lee's code to show a preloader bar.I have tried a few times and I've been unsuccessful.
View 2 RepliesI'm going to try to explain this as easy as possible, so that hopefully I get an easy answer back. I'm about to pull my hair out with this one!!In my flash site I have one main swf that is preloaded using:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framesLoaded = (Math.ceil (( _parent.getBytesLoaded() / _parent.getBytesTotal()) * 100));

I have a preloader.swf file that contains a preloader animation. I'm using the following actionscript code to make it work:
Code:
var loader_mc:MovieClip = new Preloader();
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

If i add a preloader code inside the same fla which i have to load. then it takes some time to load its library content first and then it starts loading the other things in Flash.But normal preloader code will not show loading of its library content. So any body have any idea how to make that without loading via other file. i have to add loader on the same file.
View 3 RepliesHow can i get adjust this preloader code so it loads my main site from an external swf.
preloader.swf -loads index.swf
loaded = false; mytimer = 0; onEnterFrame = function () { loading = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded().toString()/1024); total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal().toString()/1024); precentage = Math.round((loading/total)100); myprogress = loading/total };

My main .swf file is 3 frames with the preloader residing in frame 1. I'm trying to get my preloader to skip frame 2 and jump straight to frame 3 if it's already cached... otherwise, go to and stop at frame 2 if it has not.
Why would I want it to do that? I have a little movie clip on frame 2 that lets the user know that loading is complete but I'm noticing it's always popping up everytime the movie is run -- I only want that movie clip on frame 2 to appear when it's loaded for the very first time. I've been using this code so far:
[Code]...
I'm guessing my problem is that it'll never skip frame 2 and always go to frame 2 followed by 3 regardless because both arguments eventually reach a fully loaded state. I thought about using somekind of loop but not exactly sure how that would solve things.
I used this code as a preloader on a site a made a few months ago.I'm trying to use it again in a wordpress template using PHP and it's not working.The movies loads, but doesn't load the main .swf??why this would work on one site and not another? Is it a PHP conflict?
var l:Loader = new Loader();l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);l.load(new URLRequest("ns_headermovie.swf"));

My Problem is getting a preloader to work In AS3 code above, loading in media_player.swf from the same directory.
I know it's possible i saw it on several websites does some one know how i can use a static text in preloader counting to 100%? For an example look at ILOVETECHNO.BE The preloader a heart use a static text i think it cannot be a dynamic text because the font is not a normal average one

View 1 RepliesI'm getting the classic preloader problem of having the preloader not display until a certain percentage (in this case %30) of the total file has loaded. I am importing the TweenLite class in the second frame, and I am also dynamically attaching MovieClips from the library in that frame as well. I've tried putting a frame between the preloader and the title screen and using the Publish Settings to export all the classes in frame 2, but it does not help at all.

View 2 RepliesWhen importing external swf's, would it be better to have the preloader code in the external swf or in the main movie? I've seen threads about this everywhere but I don't see the difference. Once the movie pops in it starts preloading right? Is there a faster result when the preloader is in the main movie?
View 2 RepliesI've written a simple preloader which I've put in its own movie clip. The code is as follows:
[code]...
The code works out a value between 0 and 1 called 'loadVal' this is used to animate a masking object a distance defined by a variable called 'yShift'. loadVal is rounded up to give a whole number that is displayed in a text field showing the percentage of the movie which has loaded.The preloader seems to be running and it will trigger the move to play when it completes but I can't see the preloader previewing in the Bandwidth Profiler, even when I set the data speed to be very slow. I've noticed this issue before and it is annoying as I need to see how the preloader looks and works.
I've got a project that currently uses classic dynamic text fields that pull in information from an XML file. The text contains a 'keyword' that's referenced in the XML, that can be situated anywhere in the complete sentence. This keyword needs to be a different colour and font size... but as I said, it can appear anywhere.
Currently this works by getting the keyword from the XML, finding its length, finding the index of where it starts, splicing the main string, and then setting TextFormat to the number of chars in keyword, which changes the font size and colour for just that keyword in the sentence.
This works great for the classic dynamic text boxes. It doesn't however work with TLF text, it just applies the new format to the entire text field. I don't have any experience with TLF text as I've just upgraded to CS5 and now need to make this work in Hebrew.The code snippet for the keyword colour change looks like this:Where screen01Norm & screen01Key are things pulled from XML & screen_01.txt_box_combined is the text field.
var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newFormat.color = 0x319aca;
newFormat.size = 50;

this will be the preloader code what i put initial frame of my flash file.
[Code]...
The textfield on top is made from code, left is without bold and right is with bold
PHP Code:
var tform:TextFormat = new TextFormat ("Comic Sans MS", 12, 0xFFCC00);
var tf:TextField = new TextField ();
tf.defaultTextFormat = tform;
[code]...
The textfield on the bottom is made from the text tool in the IDE, left is regular and right is bold.This is all the properties of that textfield.How do I make the top text look like the bottom text? I think the bottom one looks nicer than the top.
I've been Googling tutorials and so forth but can't find something like this.I wanna do a Preloader, except rather than having"50% Loaded"I want"fifty percent loaded"How does one do this, without having to write in 100 frames of individual text?

View 2 RepliesI have a swf with dynamic text field that loads external text. One frame only. i am trying to monitor loading progress of external txt file but i can not. Preloader just does not show anything but when it is fully loaded it just displays 100%. I usually do not have any problems with preloading swf. Here is my code and if you can tell me what is wrong that would be great. t googled for solution but i mosty found general preloading problems (not for external text)
ActionScript Code:
var textName:String = "test.txt";
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest( textName);

the preloader bar doesn't reach its maximum size while the text goes from 0% to 100% correctly (when it says 100% the bar is still at 20 or 30 percent of its original size).[URL]This is my website, with the preloader at the beginning: [URL]
