I created a website for my motorcycle club, and for some reason, certain members say that the preloader freezes half way through loading! Can somebody check out my .fla file and let me know if there is something wrong with the actionscript. Or if there is another script I can add to it to check if it frooze or to force continue..

I have a preloader which loads an external swf (an animation I created in flash) This works fine, except that when the movie plays, it's already halfway through. Here's the code..
[Code]...
I think I must be missing something fairly basic...I've searched but can't find the answer. I just want my animation to play from the start, once loaded. The swf is about 4 meg.
i am working on an intro for a friend of mine and it includes a lot of individual photos. the preloader takes forever but i can figure out how to only load half of the movie instead of the entire thing before it plays. here's the code i have for the preloader itself:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
[code]...
here's a link to the current test page so you can see the entire intro and how long it takes now with that code to load. i just want it to load part of the file instead of waiting for all of it.[URL]
I'm using as2 and i'm making a photogallery. I have a preloader but its taking too long to load, so is there a way where i can pick how much i want it to be loaded before it starts so the viewer doesnt sit there forever? Maybe a quarter loaded or half?. Here's the code im using now to do this. if (_framesloaded>=_totalframes) { gotoAndPlay (14);} else { gotoAndPlay (1);}
View 7 RepliesI'm creating a movie with heavy animation and audio in Flash CS4. I have a preloader that I purchased from flash den.com and I believe it's pre set to begin the movie when the total file is done loading. But I want the movie to begin when half the total .swf file is loaded. Here is my code on frame 1
FRAME 1:
var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
preloader._width = amountLoaded * 250;
loadText.text = Math.round(amountLoaded * 100) + "%";

So I can create a circle and an oval using trig in flash. But what if I want to create an oval with rounder points? I'm using this code for circles and ovals:[code]Could anyone help me in editing the code so i can control the tips of the oval and make them rounder?
View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip with an image fading in and out (using an actionscript tween class set to yoyo). This movieclip is loaded into a dummy movieclip when a button is pressed. The first time you click the button the fading movieclip plays as it should, fading in and out continuously. However, the second or subsequent times the button is clicked the fading movieclip goes crazy, half fading in/out and half jumping from one alpha value to another.
View 7 RepliesBuilding a flash website in CS3. I've made every button the exact same way, draw a rectangle, convert to symbol, type as either button or movie clip (doesn't seem to matter and I'm not using rollover stuff), alpha 0% and stick it on its own layer above everything else.Action scrip is as follows:
main1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
main2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
function gotoMain(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
that's with 2 buttons for main. I have the exact same code multiple times for many different buttons. It works everywhere except the last two buttons on my page will work the first time you click them from the main page, but then don't work after that until you click on the main page again. Then it works.These two:
babout3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoAboutb1);
bcontact3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
the function is described on an earlier action keyframe:
bcontact1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
function gotoBcontact1(event:MouseEvent):void[code]...
Of course I've tried just having one button do this and copy/pasting the button on different areas of the movie, but nothing I've done fixes. I've even gone through and deleted every button and AS and redone it. I've put every button on its own layer (shouldn't matter but I'm trying everything I can think of).if there is an easier way of using AS to navigate a flash movie let me know. The other options I've seen seem a bit too complex at the moment.
The first half of the tween doesn't work but the second half does. It only does this when I add the code link._visible = 0;. This is to make the alpha completly disappear.
View 1 RepliesI'm a semi-beginner with AS, particularly with AS3. I am using a preloader to preload half the main swf before actually loading it. It will be approx. 30mb so I don't want people waiting for all of it to load, I'd rather it preload half, open it, then continue loading the rest. I'm presuming this is possible. If so, I intend to include a progress bar once inside the main swf so that the more it loads, the more menu buttons glow and become active. I've seen this "continuous load" thing done with the Halo Believe ebsite.See heror the Halo website, the developers broke up the swf into five 10mb swf files and stitched them together so they would seamlessly load (much like a streaming video) and the visitor would be none the wiser.
I have no idea how they did it, but I thought it would be simpler to keep mine as one complete 30mb file; preload half and then load half while in the main swf. The main swf is an image sequence similar to the Halo site, and the menu buttons are locatedthroughout the image sequence, so they will be accessible as the main swf continues to load. I'm hoping this makes some sort of sense!I've just switched to AS3. I haven't included a progress bar yet, I'm still trying to get the main swf to load half way first:
Frame 1 of preloader:
Code: Select allstop();

Mac, Flash CS3. How do I make a progressive downloaded flv-video freeze at the last frame instead of jumping back to the first frame again when the video is finished?
View 1 RepliesFlash freezes when in fullscreen, youtube or any other site. Disabling hardware acceleration works but significantly lowers the playback quality. I'm running XP SP3 and WIndows 7, same problem with both OSs, in IE, Firefox, Opera, and Google chrome, so it's definitly the adobe flash player that's causing the problem. Tried unninstaling adobe flash player and adobe activeX completely, than downloaded latest versions and installed them. Then I tried unninstaling them, unninstalling all the browsers, restarting, then installing the browsers and then the latest flash player.

Can you put a loading bar on, say, frame 1 and have Flash show it? Or do you need to put in another file and load the external SWF (which I am loading is 1.8 mb) into another SWF to have a loading screen? It would be convenient if you could do it in the same file
I am currently preloading it (game.swf) from another SWF file (gameload.swf). However, game.swf's sound files are not playing, and I'm just testing it locally. All sounds exported for actionscript are not playing
So I'm trying to create a preloader that uses an image as the loading bar. I have long image, somewhere around 6x1, and I would like it to load from left to right.

I was working on this flash for a website. I was using swish max2 to create the flash, then after I finish the flash, I checked it on my pc before uploading it to the site, it worked fine. After I've uploaded it to the site the preloader doesn't finish loading. I've to refresh it again and again to make it complete to 100%. I tried to reduce the size from 700kbps to 409kbps by removing and optimizing pictures inside the flash but it still stops loading. I tried to put it on another site and preview it alone by typing the url for the flash file, but it's still the same.

we have a website online the last few days, narrowcastmedia.co.za. Everything works well but the only prob encountered so far is our main preloader (positioned on the 1st frame, once loaded it sends you to frame 3 where the rest of the code lies), the preloader itself only is visible when starting around 80/90%. I want to be able to see the preloader loading the site from 0%. Ive changed the settings of AS2 where i export the classes in frame 3. it helps a little bit but still the preloader starts now from around 60/70% and still not from 0%. A AS file is attached so you guys can have a look at the code behind the preloader.
