ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading While Loading Function?
Oct 26, 2007
Ive got a menu on top of my page which has a few buttons. On each button press, I have a standard "_root.pages.gotoAndStop(frame#);" and also a function call which loads a different picture into the background. So, the page appears, and a loader shows "LOADING BACKGROUND" and then once its loaded it fades in overtop of whatever picture was there.roblem is...if I click the buttons fast (before the background loaded), the pages work fine, but since the background didnt fully load, the correct background for each page seems to get confused and isnt right.Here's the function that loads the back pictures...
Code:
var fadespeed = 5;
function load_pic(myLoad, myNum:Number) {
[code]....

I have a problem with my preloading. I have a flash file that needs to load 11 external swf's
So i have 11 MC's called Imgbox1 till 11 I am loading the external swf's with the function
imgbox1.loadMovie("1.swf"); This works correct but now i want to add a preloader to the external swf's and this is not working because when i add a preloader to it that i found in this tutorial :[URL]... Then the preloader is not running. I dont know why this is not working. What i also want to make is a custom preloader so not a bar or a percentage loader.

I have a carousel that makes buttons through a xml file.
Here's the xml code
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<carousel>
[Code]...
Now, I didn't write this as completly by myself. its a modified version from a tutorial.. (thats why the xml is formatted the way it is..)
Now it works fine and all. BUT, the thing i want, is instead od opening a url when one of the items is clicked. I want a swf open inside the window where the carousel is displayed..
(this could also be done by just new functions if its easyer that way)
If you press one of the items. A new swf (of a function is called) Which is plached on the position of the carousel..

I have a game built and I would like to reduce the loading time to the minimum possible.One of my ideas is to load the essential assets and some lower quality images the first time, leaving the higher quality images and some of the functionality out at first (for instance things like buttons that change the background color), and once the player enters the game, the rest of the functionality and its assets (images and sounds) will be loading in the background using the Loader class.So once the non-essential assets and the high quality images have loaded they will fade in and substitue the lower quality assets in the most subtle way possible.
Also... Would it be better to have various instances of a "Loader" class and try to load everything at once, or load stuff in order with a single instance of the "loader" class listening to the Event.COMPLETE event ?

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?

I have made a sound sequencer where users can record their own sounds and add them to the sequencer, my problem is that I want to be able to change the sounds during the running of the program. Here is the simplified code for importing and loading a sound in ready to be played.
var BASS:String = "bass.mp3";
function bassURL() {
var bass:Sound=new Sound(new URLRequest(BASS));
}
[Code].....
The reason I put the URLRequest and Sound in a seperate function is because I want to be able to change the var BASS to different mp3's during the program. Obviously when I run this it tells me that it can't find 'bass' because its a var inside another function. How can i get it to refer to 'var bass' inside bassURL?

i have an animation with a series of colored squares appearing and disappearing from the stage [URL]..except that the squares appear and disappear). Each of the squares fade in and out using Actionscript, with a custom method that animates its alpha property over time.

I have a basic question about a function I am using that is goes against my logic. It is the showImage function that is used to call up xml images:
[Code]....
the problem is specifically coming in this part of the code, I know because if I set it to a number it will load up the corresponding image. However, When currentButtonId is used it causes an error loading the xml. I'm not sure why since I set it a number and it I trace it and it increments fine...

i've got a question which i don't know exactly what my problem is. So i don't know what to search in threads search. i downloaded bookflip from iparigrafika.hu, some of you might know. and the book requires you to fill "page" symbol in library with pictures.
now, i want the page to be created using xml. i got thumbnails of pictures, when you click the thumb, you open the thumbnail xml you click (e.g. thumb 1, clicked, then you get 1.xml) the xml is successfully called.
book pages have to be called from library, so they have identifier each of them (e.g. page1 have name page1)
the question now is: how to write the script, since i can't put the symbol (page) on stage and must call the function in a row? what i want: to make empty MC then load pictures from xml then call the function

I am trying to implement a queue for loading external assets. Is there a way to make what I am trying to do work?Basically, each time a loading handler function is called, it gets the loaded data and then it calls loadComplete(), which triggers the next function in the loadQueue array.I am able to successfully place a function into a variable of type Function and then call it, but the part where I am adding the variable to an array is failing.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

Just when I think I understand something! How come, when I load an xml file as follows, I can't access the data from outside of the loading function? This code returns a null object reference error.

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("instituteList.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

I've used loadMovie() often in the short time I've been using Flash. But never to load a JPEG dynamically. For a site interface, I have little thumbnails, which open to new browser windows. This is partly annoying though, as each one opens in it's own window, so the user would have to close a whole bunch of 'em after clicking all those thumbnails. To try to fix this, I read that JPEGs can be loaded at runtime onto the stage. I've already seen the photo gallery tut, but I only require a pop-up window with one image and no left/right buttons, etc. I've tried following the tutorial for the first few steps, making a shape the size I want the images to be, converting it to an MC, and naming the MC instance on the stage.
Then, I created a new layer on frame 1 with Code:
loadMovie("CS_00_1.jpg", _root.picture);
But when testing it, I see nothing.
I've tried a few different things. Before, the fla was in a separate folder, so I had to include "Screens/" in the name. Just in case that was the problem (I didn't get any errors in the Output), I moved it into the directory with the images. I tried absolute and relative addressing. I opened up the image in PS and resized it to the size of the symbol on the stage and made sure it wasn't Progressive (I read in a thread that Flash doesn't load Progressive JPEGs), but still nothing. I even tried loading a file that didn't exist to make sure it was looking in the right place the other times (as it didn't give me any error).

Suppose I have 5 links that load different SWF files. I'm loading the first one in the background and I will continue to load the other SWFs once the previous one has completed.Suppose a user clicks link 4 but only SWFs 1 and 2 have been fully loaded and SWF 3 is currently being loaded. Would it be possible to pause loading 3 and skip to part 4 and finish loading that?

I'm building a flash website which uses a google map for a contact section and another one generated via external class for a projects section (for each one of the projects available there will be generated a map and a marker).This website uses SWFAddress and each of the projects receive SWFAddress dynamicaly via xml, pulling in the name of the project.The problem is when I test the website localy, on Flash IDE both the maps are loaded fine, but once I try it online on a webserver just the map on contact section is being loaded.I've tried to use a different key for each other -the contact section map key based on an url.Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is it because I'm using 2 maps on the same website? Is it because the url generated by SWFAddress is too long (I tried to generate a key based on something like URL...

I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?

An external swf file (swfEx), which contains a button, is loaded into another swf file(swfLd). When clicking the button contained in swfEx, it should navigate to a certain frame of the main timeline of the swfLd movie and at the same time remove swfEx from swfLd.

Is it possible to set a listener or something like it to run a function once the flash movie itself has finished loading?So something like:When this flash movie has finished loading, activate function.Btw. I'm not trying to do this with a swf file loaded into another flash movie. I need this to be done by the movie once it self has finished loading.

I am importing several external files using the Loader-class, and one of them is an swf-file. When doing so (I had done it successfully before, so did not expect any issues), I ran into all sorts of errors, and finally Flash crashed.
I put down a trace in the constructor function, and it didn't trace just once, but kept on tracing, suggesting that the constructor was stuck on loop. I guess the loading of too many of the same swf is what causes flash to eventually crash.
Here is my code (the swf im loading is now a simple test-file which contains an image and no code):
private var slides:Loader = new Loader();
public function DocumentClass()

I am a beginner when it comes to ActionScript. I am currently working on a Slide Show Pro project. Specifically SSP for Flash and Director. I have 4 custom buttons at the bottom of the slide show. When I try to place ActionScript on my ActionScript layer for let's say two of the buttons I get an error that says "Duplicate Function Definition." Here is the code I am using:
function loadAlbum18(event:Event):void { my_ssp.loadAlbum("album-18","616"); }
photogallery_btn.addEventListener("click",loadAlbu m18);
function loadAlbum18(event:Event):void { my_ssp.loadAlbum("album-18","615"); }
highlights_btn.addEventListener("click",loadAlbum1 8);
