My first Flash project involves 2 animations each in it's own HTML page and it works fine and my client is happy - except, as noted below. The first SWF is short, the 2nd much longer.Therefore, the 'getURL' in the first SWF results in a 1-2 second pause, instead of an instant and smooth transition, between the 2 animations, the first time someone accesses them.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to preload a swf.My swf seems to be playing before it hits the 100% mark. Usually around 33% I have no idea why....the loaded swf contains a video which is playing before it's even on the stage!
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var l:Loader = new Loader();

I want my flash file plays one and stops in the end and only plays again if play again button is pressed.How do i do it?
View 1 RepliesI want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

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.
View 14 RepliesI looked for similar questions on the forum, but couldn't find a reference. This is likely an inane question (with a simple answer), but here goes.I have created slideshows for a site with a blue background. In quick succession, the page loads, a white box appears where the swf will play, and then the Flash movie starts. The background color of the Flash file matches the background color of the site. How do I get rid of the white box that appears beforehand?
View 2 RepliesI have a menu SWF that comes up in a UILoader, and this file then uses this code to go to another SWF:
var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);
loadit.load(new URLRequest("physics.swf"));
Which it does fine, but then the original menu SWF plays again underneath the newly loaded SWF, and I'm not sure why? Is there any way of stopping this?
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.

View 6 Replieshaving a few problems with preloaders - starts loading at 50% i want to preload everything in my swf. I have the preloader action on my first frame (along with the sounds)
[Code]...
I have a simple movie clip of fading in text displaying on page with a sound. also have a button that allows user to go to the next frame. It is an exercise for students that basically goes like this: object presented in each frame, spelling (text) for that object fades in on mc with sound attached to mc, then button activates to let them move on to next. Since they are trigger happy, I don't want the button that allows to move on to activate on the frame until AFTER the movieclip and it's sound have played out (which is like 2 seconds so not a long wait) - otherwise, they would just keep clicking next and not listen to the material presented (it's very young children).
How do I set this up? I knew it's likely very simple, but I'm a newbie. Of course, I could always just do it on the timeline, but I have a ton of material, so am trying to use actionscript to be more efficient. for even younger kids, am considering setting this up so they can move to next frame through any keypress. I know how to set up a certain key, but not ANY key.
I have a captivate generated SWF file which has a .FLV inside it.In flash on click of a button I unload the movie(SWF), the video goes away but the .FLV still plays the audio.
View 2 RepliesI encoded an AVI w/ Media Encoder and dropped the FLV into a Flash playback component.In my compiled SWF, the video plays in hyperspeed (like it has a really fast framerate), but the audio plays normally.It seems like an encoding issue, but could it be something in Flash?I'm guessing there's some setting mismatch -- different bitrate, framerate, dimensions?[code]...
View 5 RepliesIn my flash game, every time you click a button, it plays a short sound. Almost all of the buttons work - Except for a few random handful. Those couple play the sound twice. I don't know why either - I double checked everything.None of the frames have sound. The buttons that play twice are only set to play once. I didn't do anything different between the ones that worked and the ones that don't work.

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?
I have made an xml slideshow but my issue is that the images take a few seconds to load when going to the next image. I want to put a transition between them but because of the loading time it doesn't work right. way to getting all the images to preload?

View 9 RepliesThe 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'm using the following to load an external SWF. I was wondering if I could preload it with a progressive bar. Can only find preloaders for MCs.[code]
