ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader For XML Gallery Not Working?
Jun 6, 2007
I have searched and searched and can't seem to figure this one out. I have a preloader for each of the images (loaded with XML) in my gallery. I'm trying to get the percent to show up. I got fed up and deleted the percentage part of the preloader it all together... But now I really need one in there. Does anyone have a clue how to code this? Here's the AS for the preloader bar I have so far:
I am a little stuck as to where to begin; I have created aphoto gallery and now need to add some preloader capability to it.The images are brought in via XMLList etc... What I have in mind, Iwould like to display a preloader untill all the images are readyfor viewing - not wanting to preload individual images one by one)I also have a document class within the gallery swf file, Ibeleive that this may cause conflicts with attaching a preloader toframe 1 - I have tried preloading the gallery swf file via apreloader.swf; the end result still leaves me with having toprovide a preloader within the gallery swf.Can anyone point me to any good examples, for me to get on
I followed a couple of tuts and I have the gallery working, but I would like it to have a preloader, so I added a basic one to the first 2 frames of the root and moved gallery movieclip and controller to the 3rd frame.the preloader works and the movie goes to frame 3 but then my controller(scrubber) for my gallery doesnt work, in the code there is nothing refering to the _root just _parent so I am not sure where the problem is. I'm a cg artist just trying to get a website up.CODE:root frame 1Quote:
LOADED = Math.round(getBytesLoaded()); TOTAL = Math.round(getBytesTotal()); PERCENT = LOADED/TOTAL;
Ok so I have this XML gallery working perfectly, but I want to add a preloader to it. I have the loader and child all in one package, and that package is called via back and forward buttons according to if/else statements that ensure that the xml gallery does not get confused. I figure ok, so it's simple, I just add the preloader into the package using if/else statement, but I can't seem to get it to interact with the imageLoader I have set up in this package. As it stands right now I get no compile errors, but I do get an output error at runtime stating that packagedF and xmlLoadedF are now null object references. Take a look and see if you can figure out what I'm doing wrong:
ActionScript Code: stop(); var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml"); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);[code]......
I am building a web site and I have the main movie, which loads a picture gallery (another .swf file) using "loadMovie();" and then the problem comes in - my gallery movie has a preloader which after finishing is supposed to move on frame 2 of the gallery movie, but instead of that it moves to frame 2 of the main site...
This is the main movies button code loading the gallery: on(release) { gotoAndStop(5); Gallery_Sub.loadMovie("../Flash/murals.swf");
Here is my preloaders code on the frame 100: _level0.gotoAndPlay(2);
And at last my gallery movie's code on the preloader frame: stop(); percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100); if (percent == 100){ _level5.gotoAndPlay (2); }else{ _preloader.gotoAndPlay(percent); } I tried using loadMovieNum(); but somehow it didn't work as well.
been a fan of this great site for ages. [URL] One thing i really like about the site is that when you get into a section, you will see at the bottom of the section the numbers 01 , 02 , 03...ect.. progressively load into the movie, which when they are loaded in are active and can be selected whilst the rest stilll are preloading.
I'm having 2 problems (that I know of)... I'm not sure that "tscroller" is the movieclip I want to preload for the thumbnails, and I can't get my movieclip entitled "thumbpreload" (which is set _visible = true; here) to show up. This preload function seems to conflict with the main image preloader and cause it to stop working. The file I'm using can be found here: [URL]
i've got all the xml coded and ready to go, now what i struggle is to implement my existing preloader to make it load each image. This is a work done by my friend and i am just continuing his final works so it took me quite a long time to digest these codes too.
this is my frame 1 actionscripts with a preloader.
I'm getting quite comfortable with the XML thumbnail gallery here on the Kirupa site... but wondered if there was an easy way to have a preloader for the thumbnails? I don't really have an idea how to set up the code for that.
i am loading all thumbs and images in a container on a single frame using action script..but the size of the swf becomes 1.2 mb so i want to add a loader to it. the loader i am trying to add counts the frames but my file has just one frame so the loader doesnot show up..
here is the script of my gallery..and the timeline has just one frame...
I am new to flashCS4 and done 2 of lee's tutorial's and have 2 questions. 1) how/where do I add a preloader to file when each vid is clicked on ? 2) how do I set a mc to be seen as a button in browser when you mouse over it ? VideoGallery: [URL]
I am trying to make a preloader in AS2 for my website in Flash CS4 but every tutorial I have tried hasn't worked, everytime i try simulate the download it waits until the whole movie is downloaded then views it, however every example fla file that i download works fine even when simulate .
take a look at the attached files? I've got two preloaders that I've made from the same template, but I can't get the progress to show. It simply shows a quick glimpse of the finished image and then goes to frame two.
my preloader isn't actually working,trying to load the page on a PC with quite slow internet... The story is following - my preloader animation plays, but only after the whole movie is loaded, cuz I noticed a huge delay before the preloader was actually played... And then I used that flash speed testing thing (sorry, but I don't know how it's called) and it proved my theory... That's the code on 1-st frame, where preloader is:
So, I'm working on a presentation/site that houses multiple sections being loaded in as individual swfs. I have each section shoot to a preloader frame first that is set (with PreloadAssetManager) to preload multiple FLVs and the SWF itself.If I select a new section while the current one is loading, it does the correct process of switching sections and shooting back to the preloader, but then the preloader itself just stops working completely. If I try to access any section, it just sits at a blank preloader. of thing.
I have a function ALTBOX... but work not correct... text makes on same place no in each item... and this text have a mysterious link to... i dont know ...
I export all my stage assets to frame 1, so the external preloader FLA is the approach I've been using for a while to show the nice percentage before the real SWF is loaded. I've just finished with a project and I'm getting errors when the file is done loading.The file works fine as long as it's not it a Loader component (stand-alone SWF), but as soon as I try to get it in the preloader it gives me a ton of errors.
The only major thing I did differently with this project is that a number of classes have their own individual Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners and that *I'm making a lot of stage calls* from various classes to get locations and what-not. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the latter, since I used the stage width/height for a lot of the positioning (stage.stageWidth/2, stage.stageHeight/2, etc).
I've got a strange problem with my new flash website. I've been able to code a preloader for loading in different .swfs into my main .swf file. This works fine locally and even when I simulate the download in Flash. But when I've uploaded it to my website the preloader no longer works. Basicly the swf file does load into the current swf but without the loading bar and percentage reading.
I am working on a website and I would like it to have a preloader.This website is scripted using Flash CS3 and AS2.There are two scenes, one is "preloader" the other is "tsh".roblem is, the swf file does not display while it loads, then after it loads it displays the preloader for a second and jumps right into the next scene. How can I make it load the preloader scene first, then preload the "tsh" scene? - I have put this code into "preloader"Frame 1:
i tried to load an image into my stage. with clicking a button so i put actionscript for the button as such :on (release)[code]but the loader is not working the % which has to count to 100 then show the picture doesnt work and the picture appears with out loading..
I'm working on a glorified slideshow, it has a music track that is 3+ minutes long, pretty nice graphics, and transitions. I started builing in Flash and am halfway done... it looks great too !
Problem is, when I'm testing the preloader with the download profiler set to DSL - it crawls and at 1% and on, the soundtrack starts to play... by the time the download is at 42% its at least a minute into the soundtrack and it's in and out, coming on then cutting out but not starting over. Needless to say, this is not okay! I know it's a huge file. SHould I maybe export it as an mov and put it in a FLV player?
I've made a basic RSS news feed widget with a preloader. When I test the preloader in Flash it works fine, counting to 100% and bringing in the widget proper at the end. This happens both if I test the movie outright or simulate the download. But now I've embedded the preloader in an HTML file using swfobject 2.2, and the browser will only display the first frame of the preloader and go no further, ie it 'freezes' at 0%. When I open the actual preloader .swf file, it's the same - it just stops at 0% even though it worked fine previously when
I exported it from its .fla file.Weird thing is, if I bypass the preloader and embed the widget file in my HTML, it works fine. This is for an assignment however, and I need to build a preloader as part of the criteria.All files (ie the widget .fla and .swf, the html and the preloader .fla and .swf) are in the same folder. Someone advised me when I made a bitmap in the preloader into a movie clip to uncheck the "export in frame 1" box, so I did this. It didn't work. Then someone else advised me to make sure the textbox containing the percentage count was a classic textbox with dynamic text. I did, and it's still not working.
I've implemented an internal preloader in my project but it's not working properly. I use Simulate Download but the preloader only shows after something like 80% is completed, which sort of destroys the purpose of the whole thing.
import flash.events.ProgressEvent; stop(); function preloader(progressEvt:ProgressEvent):void{ var totalBytes:Number = progressEvt.bytesTotal; var loadedBytes:Number = progressEvt.bytesLoaded; [Code] .....
I have a preloader bar which I get no errors on but when i publish on the web it does not work and it does not appear to work when I use the "simulate download feature" of flash cs4. Code: stop(); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preload) function preload(e:Event):void { [Code] .....
