ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader Not Working In Specific Files
Jan 23, 2009
I have a page in flash 8 that I want to add a preloader to. I have a movie clip with the instance name bioLoader, and this is my code (applied to the bioLoader movieclip, not a frame):
Code:
Select allonClipEvent (load){
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
}onClipEvent (enterFrame){
loaded = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded / total * 100);
[Code] .....
The preloader is on it's own frame and has a stop action on the same frame. There is also a stop action on the first frame of the preloader movie clip. I'm confused because this same preloader has worked on every single other page I've added it to. Another thing is, I believe it is working, but it doesn't show up until the movie is loaded, considering it flickers when the movie plays (and the dynamic textbox shows 100%). In this same swf, I'm loading in text files with loadVars.

I have a guestion about preloaders. Every preloader that is available on the web loads the entire .SWF.But I want the preloader to load a specific mc. So that the .SWF will run as soon as that specific mc is loaded.
in addition: Is it possible to have an mc in the .SWF that will only load when the user pushes a button?

I've been reading the tutorials about doing a preloader, but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. Here it is: I would like to make a preloader in a specific .fla file, then load an external swf into it. How do I tell flash to get the bytesTotal not only for the preloader, but as well for the external file? Is there a special way to load the swf with a preloader?

I would like to build an image gallery in Flash with AS2 or AS3 that detects automatically the number of images available in a specific folder (say a level below the swf file).The goal is to don't have to config any xml files with the images to show.

I'm working on a major Flash project that is going to be the core content of a site. As most of you well know, almost any site can be entirely copied by copying the cached files and the hierarchy (files and folders structure), and it would run without problems on an Apache server with PHP enabled, if used. What I would like to know is: How to bind SWF files to run on a specific host?
The SWFs will be encrypted, so outsiders won't have access to the methods used to stop the SWF from running on a different host, question is: what method to use? I think the solution could be hardcoding the host IP inside the SWF, so if the SWF is looking for 123.123.123.123, only a host with that IP would allow the SWF to run further. The issue is that AS3 alone can't discover the host IP or could it if it's trying to load a resource file? Can you secure your swf so it checks if it is running on a recognized environment?

it's possible to script an external preloader's empty movie clip to be of a specific size and position on the main stage? here's the script i've got for the preloader so far:
var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
my_pb.mode = "manual";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("Portfolio", 999);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I'm having huge problems to get a really simple if statement to work, after a few checks i noticed the problem was in my condition. To review it:
-On first frame i have set a var 'var foto2 = 'oie';' (just declaring it's existence).Later on I have 2 functions for loading xml, files and such, and it also takes care of dispatching a real value to that variable, either a image name or a "no", in case there's no image.Later on I try to use the variable, i can use it to load the correct file, so the variable is working and i'm not having any trouble to access it.My main idea was having a button to Next file, then if the var value is not no, i just don't do anything (button visible by default). and if equal to no, i make it not visible.
current code:
Code:
ref.ref.text = _parent.foto2;
if ( _parent.foto2 == "no" ){
btNext._visible = false;
}
The ref.ref.text ended up like a trace, so that i can what the var holds is really a "no", but the if doesn't happens. If i remove the if, the btNext.... runs ok. If I declare a var right before the if and use it just for test,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to save a specific set of open files in Flash so that when you close the app and then reopen it, you would either see the files that were open when you closed Flash or at least have the option to select it and it woud then open those files in the order that you left them.
With all my class files open at one time, I hate having to reload them into the order that makes sense to me every time I launch Flash.I was looking into the Projects panel which seems like it's in the direction of what I would like but I can't seem to find anwhere that saves open files.

I wrote this AS for my preloader which schould be able to load a movie clip after pressing a specif button in the main sceene:
[Code]....
1) The problem is that to be able to target a movieclip I will need to give it a instance name. Where can i find this function in MX ?
2) I cannot understant how I schoul put a loadBar being a small movieclip on the main timeline, I think( the same timeline the container clip is at ) or maybe not ? well I am bit confused now..
Well I have done already a sceene preloader for my site and it works perfectly and i did not experience any problems as Im having now with this new kind of preloader.

I have a strange issue in an AS3 project I'm building. For some reason I am not receiving any traces from a specific class in my project. I can get traces from any other class though. I have a Main.as that loads several classes, one of which is IphoneScroller.as
ActionScript Code:
Tipper: News Scroller
package org.FlepStudio.Tipper{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.geom.*;
[Code] .....
Any reasons why I might not be getting traces? I'd also like to note that I have a container that has several control components as children. I pass the container to the iphoneScroller for scrolling and it works fine...until I click a numericstepper and the iphonescroller breaks. However, other controls like InputTextfields don't break the scoller. These issues are why I've been trying to do traces in the first place.

I am able to get the Flash preloader working with say an image like JPG but when I attempt to have the preloader load a video it doesn't work. I read that in order to use a FLV file it needs to be embedded into a SWF file so preloader can work with it. One issue with embedding the FLV file into the SWF is the sound does not match up with video after that conversion which can kinda be fixed by changing the FPS. Needless to say I have not been able to get this working correctly. I am not sure if there is a work around for this issue.

I'm working with the following in Flash 8:1. A main SWF movie with 7 scenes and 1 scene is called Audio On the Audio scene I am loading 11 swf files for the individual songs in buttons.2. An SWF bunch of SWFs over 1mb each which are 30 sec mps songs, However, I need to get a preloader for each of the external swfs. Attached is a link to a preloader example I found and started to modify. [URL]Button Action Script
on (press) {
stopAllSounds();
}
on (release) {
Sound;
}
I am just trying to get the preloader to work with the home scene of the movie.The problem I have is the song buttons don't all appear on the home scene so I can't figure out why the preloader isn't loading everything then goes to the home scene..

I'm trying to load an external swf file into a specific sized movieclip. This is what I have written:
loadMovie("example1.swf", "pane_mc");
It doesn't work when I test it. Do I have to specify the dimensions of the movieclip? If so how do I do that?

I was wondering if it was possible to list all the files inside a specific folder using Flash 8 Action Script. Just that I have an image gallery that has all the image names in an array. What I would like to do instead is get the image names from the folder they are in. Is something like this possible without the use of a server side programming language like PHP since the flash file will not be on a PHP server.

I'm using this code for my preLoader:[code]And it works fine as a preLoader in that it adds the animation and counts up the percent of the swf that's loaded but only for the images on my stage. My code calls in some external mp3 files and I want the preLoader to wait until the external files are loaded too.[code]S'all pretty straight forward, I just want to make the preLoader wait until the mp3 files are loaded too.

I broke it into about 8 parts. 1 being the "mainSWF". This one loads up, and has a preloaded on Frame 1. Once this is loaded, you get to a certain page, and it loads the first external SWF, inside of this one. This SWF still uses the backgrounds, of the "MainSWF". And when you get to the end of this SWF, it sends a "dispatchEvent" to trigger a function that unloads the current SWF, and loads the appropriate new one. THIS ALL WORKS!
What I am looking to happen, is have a preloader to load the these external SWF's. (Like I have on frame 1 of the "MainSWF".
I would like to have them on the first frame of each external SWF, simply because the first frame is a good frame to sit on while the loader happens. ANd the first frame of each External SWF is different. My MainSWF preloaded is working great, and its code looks like this[code]...

I know how to make such preloader for loading one file after another. But I need preloader that will be able to preloade many files/movies at the same time and show percentage of each one. Lets talk about 3 movies. How to do that? I remember that I have seen such thing somewhere on the net before.

Our site will be built in Actionscript 3.
1. A navigation menu that, when a button is clicked, will scroll the site quickly to a specific Y position using swfaddress.
2. The entire site is controlled by a flash scroll bar, which will be scrolling a single movieclip.
2A. The movieclip will load content corresponding to the navigation categories, all which is organized into zipped files (using this to extract the contents of each section, example: about.zip for the about section of the site)
2B. The movieclip will load multiple zipped files one by one that correspond to the navigation, in order, making the site appear to be very tall.
What we are in need of is understanding how to load multiple zipped files into a movie clip, in a specific order, and having them scroll between one another through the navigation. The separate navigation categories can be in movieclips instead of zipped files if that is easier.URL...

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:
Actionscript Code:
stop();var loaded:Number = getBytesLoaded();var total:Number = getBytesTotal();var percent:Number = Math.floor((loaded*100)/total);if (loaded == total){gotoAndPlay (2);}else{ _preloader.gotoAndPlay(percent); //loadBar.percentage.text = percent;}[code].....

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.
