View 2 RepliesI have utilized the Tween/AS Preloader from this site and it works great! The problem is that when I test it online it keeps playing the intro and outro animation even if the movie is loaded into the browsers cache. It doesn't show the progress bar or the percentage (which is good) because it is already loaded, but it keeps showing the intro and outro animations (which is annoying). How would I keep the preloader from doing this?
View 2 Repliesi try to make a intro/outro for some pages,the problem sounds like this:
I have a mc named pagini, where i have all the pages (text, pictures)
and a second mc, named effecte, where i have a intro/outro.
The problem that i don't manage to do, it is that when i press on a menu button, the 2 mc, playes simultanions. This is the actionscript for the buttons:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("over");
}
[Code]....
Now what i`m try to do is that when i press a button, that the mc effecte playes first with the outro, and after that the intro comes. More explicit sounds like this(with a small exemple): I am in the page HOME (from the mc pagini) and when i press the RUNDGANG button i want the page HOME to stay, and the mc effecte with the outro section, and after it`s finished the RUNDGANG page come and on the RUNDGANG page the intro effect to play.

how can i make something like a transition (intro/outro) in the same .swf. For exemple i have 3 buton, and when i press btn1 the first animation plays, but at frame 10 it's stoping. And if i press btn3 i want to play first animation (from frame 11 to frame 20) and then to jump to frame 40 and play until frame 50 where i have the stop.
| >-----1*-----> / | >-----2*-----> / | >-----3*-----> /
> = keyframe
1*,2*,3* = stop();

I just have some few questions about Buttons and MovieClips using AS3.
Intro and outro of a movieclips using buttons.
Like for example: I have two buttons named buttonOne and buttonTwo. When I click buttonOne, the movie clip named oneMc should play its intro and then stop then after that whenever I click buttonTwo, the movieclip oneMc should play outro animation and then movieclip twoMc intro comes in.
Do I need to use the Loader and URLRequest for this one? Also, how can I call the movieclip to play its outro and play the next movieclip's intro?
how, because I have lets say 5 transitions and each swf has an intro and an outro, and I want to make it so if you click lets say wallpapers, theres a little loader at the bottom right of the screen that preloads the wallpaper transition, without yet playing the outro of the current transition your in (home lets say), Is it possible to script it so that when flash detects that wallpaper transition has fully preloaded it will play the "outro" part of home and than play the intro part of wallpapers to create a seamless transition

View 3 RepliesI want to do is a simple transition that allows to me start some function (at the external swf!) to dismount the LOADED content. I'd like to change the external contents with intros and "outros" located on their own timelines.. It's a simple logic, but I dont know how to manage that.. Everytime I try some simple, it never happens.

I've created a preloader.swf that (when loaded) loads an external swf. I would also like to add a skip intro btn, but when I do, the preloader seems to loop over and over (blinking - I know, high tech). This is the preloader code. I have it in the first frame of the preloader.swf:

I have a full flash website which is broken down into:
- Main movie which contains navigation and interface components
- Several content movies which are loaded into the main movie on demand
- An intro movie which is around 3MB in size; its a full CG movie.
At the moment the main movie preloads and then the intro movie preloads afterwards in a sequence; like so:
Main Movie > Intro Movie > Content Loads
There is a skip intro option which will skip the intro movie step and jump right to the content load once the main movie has loaded.
My client wants me to do something which is proving very difficult and I am starting to wonder if its even possible as searches on the net have given results which don't really work properly.
Here is what I need to do:
When the main movie is requested, its preloader appears which it has a load bar and a "skip intro" button. The difference being, this preloader will be loading the main movie AND the preloader; which the load bar representing both movies load progress.
To complicate matters, if the skip intro button is pressed, the preloader needs to drop the intro movie from the equation and just account for the main movie & thus skip the intro; straight to the content.
The way I have tried to do it is to have a preloader code in the intro which sends the total size and bytesloaded back to the main movie which deals with those values, adding it onto its own size. This is proving cumbersome and although appeared to be working, isn't working propery.
I am still a NooB to Flash, but did finally get to build a successful preloader (ahem). Now that I have that built, I was wondering if it is possible to loop a sound within the preloader 'scene'. This is what I have built for final production:cene 1: Diesel Startup SoundScene 2: Preloader movie, while main movie loads (w/ loopable diesel engine sound?)Scene 3: Sounds stop, plays 10 sec movie, then 'goes to url'Can anyone point me in a direction to see a preloader w/ looped sound, or a project that shows how to do this? Or, even better, show me how the code should look? I'm getting lost in code!
View 2 RepliesI have a preloader that works fine when I test i with flash. I publish it and then go to View and Simulate Download. Everything works fine.
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.

View 2 RepliesIf I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip that I imported into flash, used a skin and have a nice little player for this website intro. I want to proceed to the sites home page upon completion of the movie. Searched but the best I could come up with was;
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) { trace("doneVideo");new URLRequest("my link");});
It's all about loading and unloading external swf's.My code is working perfectly though I just have some questions about load and unload issues.
------------------------------------------------------------
I have three buttons on the stage and it should load its external SWF
homeButton_btn - home.swf
page1Button_btn - page1.swf
page2Button_btn - page2.swf
Each of the button should load it's external SWF's intro when click.My problem is that I don't know how to command the button to play the swf's outro and then load the next swf everytime I click a button. Example: When I click homeButton_btn, the external swf should load "home.swf" and then if I am going to click page1Button_btn, the outro of "home.swf' should play and then once it reaches the end of it's timeline, it should load "page1.swf". Same goes with page2Button_btn, whatever swf that is on the stage should play it's outro first and then load "page2.swf"
My questions are: 1. How can I control the external SWF to play it's outro and then load the next SWF.
2. What code should I put at the end of the external SWF's timeline.
3. Where do you think I should put the preloader? Is it better to put it at the external swf timeline? or on my main swf timeline?
4. Does load and unload of external swf also work with movieclips? Like for example I will not use a external swfs, instead I will use movieclips to load and unload its content.My Actionscript 3.0 code
var pageContainer:Loader;
pageContainer = new Loader();
var nextMov:String;[code].........
I have flash movie that I'm loading other movieclips and swfs into.At the moment when I load in a new swf, the timeline plays through the intro sequence, then when I select new content to load into replace it the movie simply vanishes without showing the outro sequence.It's been puzzling me for a while now but i've seen it used on many flash sites so i'm guessing there's definately a way to do it.
View 4 RepliesI have a movieclip playing and when I click a certain button I want the movieclip to first play an "outro" animation (which is also inside the movieclip) then go to the real target of the button. For example, I am at the Homepage of my website then I click on the Contact button. The homepage will first go to Homepage's outro animation then go to the Contact page. I need the button to recognize the page/clip being played and the page it will go to.
View 1 RepliesI am making a website and i want a flash. Here's what i want it to do.
1) The page has two images "Enter" and "Here" together. When you click it with mouse, the two images fly in opposite directions and fade away.
2) After that screen turns bright.
3) An Image fades in which i will use to map different locations using HTML.
how to make text acting as a preloader so that its color changes as preloader percentage. i dont mean how to apply the math, i mean how to mask it or whatever action to achieve that effect?
like for example imagine the red is constantly growing to the right letter by letter (actually pixel by pixel:
I have this world map (.swf file) that I want on my home page(black background). It's up and working fine, but it flashes a white blank map for about 2 seconds when it first loads and then it goes away. It looks very ugly on a black background and gives off a sense of "cheapness". Anyway, it has got to go. I purchased the world map and they don't offer access to the original .fla file. So basically I want to know how to cover up the first few seconds of the video with black and then have the black cover disappear and let the flash file do its thing.

View 2 RepliesI have recently created a small as3 introduction,,,, i downloaded it to my web server, when the page starts all i get is the HTML page the flash introduction will not start or even load,,, i have used AS2 and that works fine... As a trouble shooting measure i put all the as3 code in its own folder on the server(*.js,*.swf,*.html)pointed to the folder and still nothing? Is ther some setting i missed wheni published it??? I used the defaults???
View 4 RepliesI've followed Kirupa's tutorial on XML slideshow and modified it to incorporate another swf. The first swf is an intro animation that then stops and loads another swf which is the actual slideshow piece. The problem is that the first image keeps repeating. I've looked all over the forums for a solution and I think the problem is in the code. If I tested the slideshow.swf on its own, it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong?

making an intro for my site.Right now, it's coded in php, but I'd like to take it to flash.In the intro, (I fail at making images) I'd be making two characters that come in from off-screen and do a small fight. Then the winner gets shot with a bullet and dies.They fade out and then the site comes up.
View 1 RepliesIn this website there's an intro. Now, the website is about a lingerie company here in Italy...so it's like a based fashion website. I'm going to create the intro with after effects...what do you think about this? How do you create your intros? With after effects? do you have some fashion website link with an intro?
