I wish to build a preloader with some percentage animated movieclips alongside a percentage text.I post an example of where I am so far. I made two movieclips with things happening every 20 frames up to 100 frames. I wish to turn this into a percentage logic so that the actionscript makes my MC moves to the next 20 frames every 20%. See what I mean?
View 1 RepliesI have to create a website in flash for a project that requires me to use the following animation:
Code: Select allimport fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;
[Code]......
I would ideally like this to run during the preloader sequence, but when that didn't seem to work, I figured I would just have it run before the preloader. Unfortunately, even though it works fine on it's own, it will not work when I place it within my website file. I originally had it contianed within a movie clip, and again, it would work okay in a separate file, once I added it to my website file, it stopped working, but I'm still not getting any errors. how to get it to move somehow, even if it has to happen before or even after the preloader?
I have uploaded both the animation in it's separate file (preload play) and the website file (spsite_0046) here: [URL]
I was wondering how are circular preloaders done? Not just a preloader with a circular animation but actually a circle that grows with the progress... I'm sure there's some complicated math behind it and honestly I'm not a dear friend of math
View 3 RepliesI'm a french Webdesigner and I've a little problem to make a website in Flash. First, I make a preloader "simple_preloader.swf" to load the website "Easy.swf" but in fact the preloader doesn't work. I use an URLloader because with this component the different Tween start when the website is completely loaded.
Here's the AS3 code:

I wanna know how do i insert an animation in a preloader.
View 1 Replieslet's see if I can make this comprehensible. I have a template with an xml dynamic menu. When a button is pushed two movie clips are loaded: 1) a main clip, which has a Kirupa designed preloader taking up the first two frames and 2) a movie clip that contains "controls" (interactivity or animation) for the main clip. All worked great until I added the preloader. Now both movie clips load but the controls no longer act correctly. Do I have to tell the controls to jump to the third frame of the main clip or something because the preloader takes up the first two frames?
View 7 RepliesIn my SWF I have two scenes. A preloader Scene and the actual scene where the magic happens...
I have made all the graphics for the preloader. It's my logo which is unmasking as the loading progress. The animated mask is keyframed, as the logo is abit complex.
After a several searches here, and on the net "outside"
How do I create a preloader with my own animation?
I've already created the animation, so can I get it to play in rythm with % loaded?
how do i insert an animation in a preloader.......i dont want the clasical load bar progress.......when the page its being loading i need that a cube move .
View 1 Repliesi am trying to import a swf movieClip to my main stage, but since the swf contains large scale images, a added a preloader to it, the preloader is in each swf, but when i load the swf to the stage of my main movie clip, sometimes it works fine and loads and some other time it doesn't! Beloa is the preLoader that I am using:
[Code]...
I have a fla that starts with a preloader that works properly. I then addChild a movie and it plays. I would like to have another movie load on a separate upper layer (so you can see the movie below it, like a background) with three different movies that can be advanced by a button. Here is my code so far. It loads the preloader up, then advances to drawing the graph. From here I've been adding a conditional checking to see if the movie is done playing -- playGraph.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,check done,false,0,true); was the tip I was given -- but if I use an if statement, it loops over and over
Here's the code. Hopefully it makes sense.
[Code]......
From the addChild I assume that I want to do 'if graph is done playing, start with the first part of the movie', but it gets caught in a loop if I trace 'done'.
I had to build a preloader for a fairly large swf and of course the design of the preloader is a bit complex - it's got to have two looping timeline animations running in it at the same time.I did my best to simplify these as much as possible, but they involve filters and pngs and... ugh.Needless to say, while flash is trying to do all the work of loading the movie AND running these two timelines over and over, it stutters. A lot. And looks bad, and all I can say is... well yeah.A preloader by definition has to be simple, doesn't it?

View 3 RepliesI'm making a portfolio site in Flash. It's my first complete Flash site, but I know the basic stuff and I'm trying out some actionscripting. So far I have the site itself, with working navigation and a preloader. But I want to have a animation of falling leaves in the preloader, so people have something to look at when the wait for the site to be loaded. It also fits with the general "feel" of the site. I've been trying to do this by using the Falling Snow v2 tutorial from Kirupa, but something is unclear to me. I inserted the movieclip snow_mc, made the leaf, converted it to another movieclip snow, gave the instance name for this clip snow(I'm just following the tutorial, that's why the leaf is called snow and all) copy-pasted the first actionscript part of the tutorial on the first frame in the snow-mc clip, but then I don't know where to put the rest of the AS. The tutorial says to select the snow clip and press F9 and paste, but to do mean on the first frame in the snow clip? Because I keep getting these errors:
**Error** Symbol=snow, layer=action, frame=1:Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent (load) {
**Error** Symbol=snow, layer=action, frame=1:Line 16: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances

I'm using the code below on preloaders
loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes=Math.ceil (loadedbytes/1000);[code].....
It doesn't always show all of my preloader, ie: by about 25% of the preloader animation it jumps to the movie. I still want the preloader to play all the frames before it goes to the movie regardless of download speed. Also sometimes it sticks on the final frame of the movie for a few seconds and then jumps to the main scene.
I'm having trouble removing some preloader movieclips I have inserted via AS3. The message I get is:
[Code]..
I've been reading a Flash book, and it tries to explain how you can use Action script to create a preloader that will play a movie clips frames based on the amount of bytes loaded. I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10);
function preloader() {
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()) {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
} myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(_framesloaded/_totalframes*(myMovieClip._totalframes)));
}
This is on the first frame of my movie. I've also have a stop action on the first frame of my movie clip. I've attached the FLA for dissection....ts?
I have a main movie where everything is in the first frame. In that frame external swfs load both into MCs and levels, plus some tweened MCs. All this works perfect without putting in a preloader. I want to have a preloader to this movie but have some minor problems with using one. I put the preloader in the first frame and move the main movie to frame 2 with a stop. The preloader works in that way that when total bytes are loaded it jumps to frame 2. The problem: When the preloader is done the main movie opens but some swfs that are loaded into levels and MCs get strange coordinates. But if I put the main movie in frame 5 and keep 2-4 empty then it works.
View 1 RepliesI am facing a very peculiar problem while creating a preloader in flash. I have created a flash image gallery entirely in flash as requested. And a preloader. Now when I test my movie in local machine using simulate download feature the preloader works just fine. However when I upload it on the server the first frame of the preloader can be seen and it freezes there nothing happens though after some time the movie loads and rest of the animation then plays fine. I have checked my code it doesn't give any error on compiling. The flash SWF is being inserted in a Joomla driven website. However, that will not be a cause of problem I guess as an old preloader seems to run fine. I am using Flash CS5 Demo. I also tried saving file in CS4 and then publishing it. Still no luck.

I don't get exactly how they do the whole preloader animation on: http://www.flashlevel.com/indexv4.html
every time i visit the page the whole preloader animation runs for 0 till 100. also if it is in your cache.
they use 20 stripes to load so (5 percent means 1 stripe!) but how can you animate your preloader if youre preloader does'nt always runs smoothly from 1 till 100?
im just wondering on how can i create a preloader based on a certain keyframe animation.

But when I upload it to my server it works fine util I hit the reload button, all it does is do the short intro animation to display the preloader and just sits there.
I have attatched the preloader class wich is pretty straight forward.

I just want to ask something about the preloader when it load. For example I made an animation for my preloader and when my page is loaded for, 20%, I want the animation to change and the same thing happen when it's loaded 40%, 60% until 100%.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a gallery using MovieClipLoader&loadClip. I follwed a tutorial and everything works fine, although the preloader is just plain text. I want a graphic preloader instead, so I imported in the library a gif, turned into a movieClip, and linked it for actionscript, but I can't find a way to attach it to the thumbnails.
This is my thumbnails function:
Code:
function callThumbs() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
container_mc._x = _root.gallery_x;
container_mc._y = _root.gallery_y;
var clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I've tried creating an empty movieClip and using attachMovie inside onLoadStart & Progress, but nothing shows up. Here's a link so you can see exactly how the actual preloader is [URL]. So basically instead of the percentages as text for each thumbnail I would like to place in a MovieClip with my own loading animation.
