Very odd but when i move my movieclip of frame one and on to say frame 5 all my images turn nasty and start pixel shifting.
if there is no fix does anyone know if there is a way to make a preloader on just one frame.
how to make simple preloader & how to place it in the frame.And also tell me that how to create the content parts later.
View 1 Repliesim just wondering on how can i create a preloader based on a certain keyframe animation.
View 2 Repliescode to make a preloader jump to a frame depending on the quantity on the movie that has been preloaded? in ex i have a mc of a preloader if 5 percent of the movie its loaded the preloader mc will go to frame 2, if 10% the mc should go to frame 3, etc..
View 8 RepliesHave used the preloader at [URL] and it seems to work fine however after the last frame of the movie it appears to flick (quickly) back to the preloader info, note I want the movie to loop continually. Is there a way I can add something that will make the movie loop direct to frame two and miss the preloader?

I want to make a preloader for flash mx 2004 that when it finish becomes to decrement another time. I would like to do it to modify the flash preloader component.
View 2 Repliesat first, I thought I could manage this myself searching the forums about "preloader" but none of the solutions seem to work. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm using the FLVPlayer with an external file. What am I looking for?
1. Well, the preload code for frame 1 that makes sure the external F4V (movie.f4v in the same dir) is loaded 100% before it jumps to frame 2 where the movie should start playing...
2. If possible, a progress bar.
does anyone knows any way to code xml preloader? i need the XML preloader in the same frame.....not in two frmaes or with out using gotoAndPlay(); to next frame...
View 3 RepliesI have my flash on multiple scenes, and would like to play an animation when clicking on the navigation button before switching to a different scene.
I'm halfway to accomplishing this.
Here is what i used
Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("changepage1");
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe=="changepage2"){
[Code]....
The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.
Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".
I'm trying to make a preloader for a little flash project that involves re-assembling a load of rectangles to make up a pattern.Idea is that instead of the usual load bar i wanted to make use of this pattern that is relevant to the project and have it rebuild it self with these rectangles flying in from the side. So far I have got the tweening sorted using the tween class and staggered the 42 (yes took a little while, probably an easier way so let me know on that also) rectangles using 'setTimeout' so it releases each 100milliseconds after the one one before it. This probably the wrong way to do it but i wanted to check how it looked and this was the one way i knew how to do it.
I want to make it so that these rectangles fly in a complete the pattern once the loading has finished, but on a fast connection I don't want it to rush the animation but for a slow connection I obviously want it to adjust the release time and maybe even the travel speed to compensate.
I had an idea of maybe working out the percentage loaded divided by 42 and then run an if statement to see if that percentage for that segment had been reached before 100millseconds had passed, if 100 had passed then release the rectangle, if not then hold the rectangle until 100 m/s had passed. Not sure if that is the best way to do but that's why I'm looking for some suggestions from more experienced developers.
Code:

Just finally making the transition from AS2 to AS3.All i need to do at this point is make two buttons which will control the movie to goto next frame and previous frame. I have gotten how to make the buttons go to a specified frame number and also a button to go to a specified external url but no success in making a simple next/previous pair of buttons.

i have a movie clip with a dynamic text field being animated...i have a text file with this in it
&textline1=time
&textline2=place
&textline3=year
&textline4=month
now how do i make the movie clip to first go from frame 1 to 10( last frame in teh movieclip) with the text time and then when the movie clip starts again it should say place and so on and so forth.. depending on how many textline variables i define in the text file?
I want to make a button that makes you got to a random frame within a certain range (eg frame 41-50) when you press it. I have tried various codes but so far no luck. Im using AS 2

I'm creating an effect in flash mx where lasers follow a guide path and reveal a word beneath. I was setting it up making it drop behind a square where the spark travelled and i used the setmask command to mask it, problem is, the setmask command only works with one instance at a time! Can i group multiple instances with actionscript? Or can i have it dump the squares on a mask layer with actionscript.I was also wondering if i could just make the script play on every frame without copying it to every frame? I tried the on enter frame deal but it didn't work.
View 3 Repliesok,so this is probably a stupidly simple fix, BUT - i have tinkered with it for a few hours now and im getting no where....i have my site tween in a graphic ( my logo ), and then the preloader pops up......the preloader is on frame 15 inside its own MC...inside the MC is another MC named loadBar, and here is the code:
function loadProgress(root:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (root.bytesLoaded*100)/root.bytesTotal );
loadBar.width = percent * 3;

I am just wondering if anyone knows how to make it so my preloader takes me to frame 2 of the main page rather than frame 1. I have added my code below. Basically I just want it to take me to frame 2 of main.swf (which is in a separate swf to 'main.swf'). Is there a simple way to do this?
[is there for example a way to insert a gotoAndPlay which deletes itself after its first use at the beginning of frame 1 in main.swf..

1. I make a simple movie (call it movieClip) first frame has stop(); action, second frame has label playMovie, last frame has action gotoAndPlay(2); (so that movie not stop anymore2. Now I place movieClip on stage3. Question... what is code to make movieClip play frame label playMovie?
I already try to put many different type action in frame one of stage

I have about 2 minutes of real life footage.
I need to put this in a "flash container" and make it advance frame by frame every time the UP key is pressed.
The faster the UP key is pressed, the faster the film should advance.
Accelleration and decelleration should seem "natural" (not bumpy and sudden).
I need a bunch of letters to fall from the top of the stage and fall into place to form words at the bottom of the stage. Would you do this in actionscript or make each letter a symbol and do it frame by frame?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to add a preloader to my source, but i have an issue everything i have written is loaded externally through actionscript on frame 2, but it still shows everything loading on frame 1.
Here is what the bandwidth meter shows... it is showing everything on frame 1.
I need the preloader to load on frame1, and its not working. Instead the preloader loads with the rest of the site, and dissapears right away.
My preloader itself takes a small chunk of time to load. I want to keep it this way, as it is important, but I am making a pre-preloader with a simple text such as "Please Wait" to display until the actual preloader loads. My coding for the pre-preloader is below. How do I make my variable "pretotal" be only the total needed to load the next frame which is my preloader rather than that of the entire movie?
[Code]....
My primary movie clip is 1200 frames long and on the last frame I have a small action: gotoAndPlay(190) so that it will loop back to that spot upon reaching the end, It works very nicely. UNTIL, that is, I place the primary movie in a frame within a preloader. When placed in the preloader, the primary clip doesn't loop back to frame 190 anymore; the actionscript is lost.
I wanted a preloader so the area on the website dedicated to this flash file wouldn't appear blank as it loads. I found a tutorial online and followed it;

I have a .swf being loaded into a main.swf using the following:
var ld:Loader = new Loader()
ld.load(new URLRequest("nameofsecond.swf"))
addChildAt(ld, 0)
The above is in the second frame of my main.swf timeline. I'm looking for a way, using as3, to code a preloader in the first frame of the main.swf that counts the number of bytes loaded in the secondary .swf and goes to and plays the second frame of the main.swf when all the bytes have loaded.
After site is loaded a 100% it is stuck on the preloader image in frame one instead of going to frame to of my project.
I suppose further information about my project is needed so just say what to post and IŽll post it.
I've made a simple preloader to my animation and its works great except transition between last frame and second frame (1 frame is preloader). In animation it looks for a disappear for a moment. For many flashes it doesnt make problem but in my case I must have continuously play after loading my flash. I'm attaching a ".fla" file to my post. [URL]. I think I must use loop in timeline from 2 frame to last after the preloader appear... but how I can do that...
View 5 RepliesI worked through this tutorial about coding a preloader.and got everything to work great.but then I tried to embed this into a working project and I cannot get the preloader to open in the first frame.
I built my timeline like in the tutorial, if you don't want to look at the tut that is, I have 2 layers, actions and assets, each with 3 frames, the actions has a stop(); on frames 1 and 3, and the assets has a blank keyframe on 1, and a my background, "AssetHolder" movie clip on 2.
anyways, the game loads fine, no errors, but no preloader with the simulated download. just a white screen for a few seconds, then the game pops up.
[Code]...
All my trace functions assigned in the preloader code is working. So I think its popping up and then turning off immediately before the game starts, rather than popping up when the data is being loaded, and I don't really know how to change this. Ive been racking my brain over this for a few days now. Im sure its something simple though, I probably just have something out of order. But im lost now.
my preloader and movieclip works at the same time and movieclip ends on frame no. 510 but the problem is this that everything works fine except it not jumped onto another frame, here is my script,
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesTotal();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();[code]....
