ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Preload Loadmovie
Jul 18, 2005
I've discovered that my .swf becomes verry big if I just import every picture So that why I want to load the picture's into the swf. On kirupa i found this code and it works verry nice:
on(press){
loadMovie("loadme.jpg",_root.theTarget);
}
But I also want to make a preload bar, so you can see how manny bytes are loaded. I've done some tutorials on kirupa, and now i know how to make a preloader and i know how to use loadMovie... but i cant script it togetter

a SWF that will serve as the main movie for the site. Inside this SWF, I have a script that loads a JPG into a holder MC that's on stage. So basically it's like this:
- main.fla
-- holder_mc (this isn't an empty MC, it has some PNG's inside)
--- external JPG loaded in by loadMovie
I'm ok with building a preloader for the holder_mc and the rest of the FLA (without the size info of the external JPG), but how would I incorporate the size of the external JPG into my initial preloader before I actually start playing everything. Would I have to set the holder_mc visibility to false, call the loadMovie, initiate the preload, and then set visibility back to true. There's gotta be a better way?

I have a site with several images on it. there is a main image with buttons on it, and each button load a series of images (simulating a zoom) What i want to know is if there is a way to preload the external swf (the ones each button loads) while the user is looking the main movie, so, when he presses a button, the external swf plays inmediately and there is no "loading" time. I try several ways and google it and find some tutorials but no one works.

In order to put some dynamic content into my flash site, I have used loadvariables in order to retrieve into variables some html content.I have also used dynamic text (renderred as html) in order to retrieve the values of those variables (using Var parameter).My problem is that whenever html indicates <img> tags, those images are loaded when the dynamic texts first appeared in screen.

I've almost finished my flash website for a friend and just want to add a simple MP3 player.I have the following code which reads an XML file and loads the mp3s referred to in it and plays them... this is all cool...(i've removed the bits for the buttons as i didnt think they were relevant)what I really really want to be able to do is buffer the MP3 files so that they begin playing when 1/2 loaded or similar (ideally preload 1/2 of track 1, play track 1, when track 1 loading is complete start preloading track 2 etc.)I just cant work out how to do it...
var my_songs:XMLList;
var my_total:Number;
var my_sound:Sound;

I have 3 swfs containing FLV instances, and one main swf file. There are buttons on the main file which link to preloaders for the other 3 swfs. I have created 3 seperate preloader swfs for the 3 sub pages, using movie clips and this code:
[Code]....
It preloads just fine, but it doesnt preload the FLV contained in each swf. It just preloads my 200kb swf file, not the contents, so my movie still has to wait to play. how can I get my preloader to preload everything so that when the SWF comes up, all data will be loaded and I can click through to the end of he FLV movie?

The code above is my standard preloader for swf, I use it since long time and its all working, I managed above the script another one that load the flv?s that I use in the array. The two are working but my need is that the container only start to play the module after all the flv?s have been loaded to the cache.
One thing to note is that in the second script the array is playing the flv?s when should be only load, I?ve try to give a ns.pause(); but if I do that the array dont get to the end of it.

I have a main movie which loads another swf using the Loader class. Once the sub swf is loaded, the sub swf will call an XML to get a dictionary and translate all the text to one language or another. Since the preloader will not take into account a call to an external XML, would this be the correct way to do it? It's plain text but I'm not sure if I will get blank text for a few seconds if a user has a slow connection.
I thought of maybe using dispatchEvent on my sub-movie to tell my parent that the xml is loaded and THEN start the game. What do you think? Any better alternatives? I also checked out LoaderMax (from greensock), since it seems it has some functionality that enables you to take into account external calls from your main preloader... But I haven't tested it out yet.

I am becoming crazy because I really don't find a way to preload the texture image which is automatically loaded by the DAE class.
All that I want is to display the progression of the image loading, before displaying the DAE.

1- Main movie (index.swf) in 190KB size with a preloader.
2- Sound movie (Sound.swf) in 880kb in size. (A volume control bar and the music in different layers)
3- A placeholder for sound movie inside the main movie.
Problem: When page starts, the index.swf preloads and starts correctly, after that the movie begins. The thing I want ( and I can not do is) the sound bar to preload in the preloader and then the control bar to become vissible while music starts. you can both use loading the external swf to main movie or user another method.

Just one annoyance with both my slideshow and kirupa's, the user has to wait for each image to preload as the slideshow goes through the first time...I am trying to get my head around how to successfully implement one preload at the start for ALL slideshow images.
Code:
#include "as/movieclip_lib.as"
#include "mc_tween2.as"[codee]....
I'm using FMX04 but want the final output to be an AS 1.0 FP 6 file only.
