ActionScript 2.0 :: Multi Movie Transitions Preloader
Jun 23, 2005
I want to have one preloader work for all of my external content. Basicaly I'm trying to reuse the same preloader objects with these two sets of code. The red is for loading external movie clips that I have setup to transition in and out while the blue is setup to just load external movie clips with no transitions into a different location. The blue works fine, but the red does not. First frame of main timeline: Currently when I have mainLoader here it will not work. If I take mainLoader out the movie will load but it will not preload.

In this tutorial (Preloader and Transitions for Dynamic Files) there is an internal preloader that I wish to animate so it would paly a sequence before the new file loads. The sequence would then repeat itself until the new file does load.

my preloader starts at 55 percent. this is because the first frame (if i can trust the bandwidth-profiler) has a size of 32 kb. i think this is strange, because the b-profiler also tells me the film has a total size of 35 kb. after the first preloader frames are some small files with transitions only, and then there is the main frame, which has a size of 18 kb my preloaderframe only contains a small bar and a dynamic textfield, just like the tutorial says... i ve already searched the forums, i found that quite many people have the same problem, but i didnt find any solution... i do not load any swfs dynamically. the only thing i can imagine that could cause that problem is the embed font which i use for the dynamic textfield in the preloader. is that possible?

what I'm trying to do is make a preloader that will preload about 20 external SWF files before it lets you get to my main file. I want to do this because my main file needs the SWFs to be ready to go once its done loading. I have looked around and i found a few ways to do this with the "if (loadedBytes>=totalBytes)" and the code loops back till the files are done loading... this would be just what i need but i cant seem to get it to work. the file just seems to start loading my files but does not loop and just runs the time-line even once i state what frames i want it to loop.

I have a flash movie located here: URL...and it's preloader here: URL... (which I built based on the video tutorial from this site)The problem lies in how the preloader transitions to the main movie. When the preloader is done loading the movie and therefore plays the movie, instead of playing from the beginning of the movie, it instead skips to frame 26 or so, 1 second into the movie. Which is where the filigree animation begins to play. Upon reloading the preloader.swf it usually plays correctly the second time around. I cannot figure out why it is doing this, my only theory is that the main movie is somewhat playing in the background? I really don't have any idea to be honest.

And be able to do it with the rest of the links.. u know how if i go to "contact" then it will 1st fade out the page i was looking at then the other appears in or fades in.?

I thought of making each phase inside "content" a movie clip, adding all the even listeners in the main actions layer and also adding the transitions there too.
When X even listener is pressed in X movie clip pointing to Y movie clip, fade out X using an e.target tween and somehow fetch the Y info and fade that movie clip in.

I recreated Voestjoeba's tutorial on "Transitions between external swf" here on Kirupa, with ease, but what I am trying to accomplish, may be out of the scope of that tutorial. If you take a look at [URL] , the page is made with frames, and the movie at the top (the navigation) appears to be acting on the same concept as what Voestjoeba created. I'm trying to mix and match the code from the tutorial to recreate what is happening on the xango site, for a page I am creating, and needless to say, i'm backed up two days, and have hit a roadblock.

I'm building a flash player that loads various movie clips in succession depending on user input. The player should continue to play seamlessly when one clip ends and another starts playing, however there is always a slight noticeable delay between the COMPLETE event for one clip and the actual playing of the next clip. I am using the FLVPlayback component to load the video clips, with successive clips loaded in different players in the component.
I've tried playing the next video a short duration before the current video finishes by adding a cue point just before the end of the currently running clip (about 200 - 300 ms before the end). This improves matters somewhat, but it is not a reliable method as the timings are different for different browsers and computer specs. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with smooth transitions between external video clips and could suggest possible optimizations I could use to improve the transitions.

Using the easing transitions I simply move the _y of several movie clips. It is ok but their starting positions are always from the top of my stage, even if I fix their positions at the bottom.

I'm working on a gunslinger game. I have numerous frames which correspond to different stages of the game. The frame that corresponds to the actual gameplay has a really involved ENTER_FRAME function attached to particular item on the stage. When the game is over (or an error occurs, or the network connection fails) I want to leave the gameplay frame and move to some other frame. When this happens, I would like the ENTER_FRAME function on the gunslinger to be removed because the player may finish a game and then re-enter the gameplay frame later after selecting a new opponent.
QUESTION: Can anyone recommend a good way to manage the keyboard event listeners, all the button event listeners, etc? As you might imagine, I have no reliable way to determine which frame might be entered after the gameplay frame because the frame change could be triggered by a variety of different reasons.

I have a problem with buttons and transitions.I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following code:
on (release) {
if (_root.externaltwo._currentframe == 7) {
_root.externaltwo.gotoAndPlay(8);[code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "externalone";[code].....
Obviously a similar code would be placed on button two so the transitions could take place.I am uploading my file so you can see exactly what I am talking about. Also in this file will be a folder containg a version that works but without the buttons moving up and down which is the effect I wish to have

I have just completed the "Transitions Between External SWFs" tutorial and I'm now I'm at the stage of altering a few things in there to suit my needs. But I've run into a problem...For my buttons, intead of "Button" symbols, I want to use "Movie Clip" symbols - reason being is that I've got some specially animated Movie Clip buttons that I wish to use.To get this... err "working"... with my Movie Clip buttons I have needed to use "_root." when referencing to the container Movie Clip. Now that works to an extent, but for some reason each button plays only "red.swf" even when there is no mention of it in the ActionScript and is instructed to play "blue" for example ("red.swf" happens to be the first appearing movie).Normal method with Button - works fine!
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "red";
container.loadMovie("

I want to add a preloader into an existing flash website file. The flash file is made of 5 layers, with one movie clip on each layer for each page of the website pages. I want to be able to put a preloader on the home page to let me viewers know that the site is not fully loaded before they start viewing the other pages (it's a portfolio site, so there are a lot of images). Can I add a preloader movie clip to appear on the home page that will loop until the entire site (all 5 frames/pages) are loaded?
I do not want to add another frame in front of the existing frames because I would have to edit 200+ portfolio frames and script.

I want to use a preloader that was created in Actionscript 2.0 (because I couldn't figure out how to do it in 3.0) - but the splash page and website are in 3.0. Is there a way to segue from the preloader to the splash page? The preloader uses Actionscript to call Scene 2, but I would like it to call an external .swf file if possible. Can anyone tell me how I could do this? -- Or a better way, that does not involve redoing the loader

I just wondered if it is possible to have a preloader for each MC within a movie? I have one simple preloader for the movie:
[Code]...
Now my movie is 60 frames long, the above will only preload the first 30 frames right? So If I have a button that goes to frame 35 on the main timeline and on frame 35 is MC1, can I have a preloder within this MC1 which is 55 frames long? I am just trying to get away from loading seperate swf's into levels!

I'm trying to set up a preloader for my movie, and I'm having some trouble with paths etc. My main timeline has two movieclips, one for the preloaded content, and one for the preloader. The instance name of my content mc is ycmovie, so I've used the code below to try to access the loading details. My preloader mc contains the following:
Code:
total_bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded_bytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();[code].....
I assumed the field name was the instance name? But obviously I'm using incorrect syntax in the path.

I tried the above and it just showed 100%.

Is there Actionscript 2 that can be put in a preloader and play only the first movie clip on the root timeline instead of all of the root's timeline (which happens using getBytesLoaded or movieclip._framesLoaded() )? I want the preloader to just load the first movie clip and let the user
read this screen while the rest of the root timeline continues to download.

I've got a flash movie with preloader. Preloader Event.COMPLETE listener looks like this
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
stage.addChild(loader.content);
parent.removeChild(this);
The problem is that when I try to print the movie that was loaded by it, preloader is printed instead. Why can this be happening?

1- When you view URL... in IE, you'll notice that it sometimes doesn't go past the preloader. I asked why this happened in an IRC channel, and was told to use swfobject. However, with swfobject, I have the same problem. Is something else the problem?
2- I have the code [code]
