I am preloading multiple mp3's dynamically using a looping array and it is working very well. However, I would like to display the percetage of the last mp3 loaded by the array.Does anyone know how I would modify the code to do this:
Code:
var my_array:Array = new Array();
my_array[0] = "Audio/audio_1.mp3";

I want to be able to preload images from www.domain.com/1.jpg all way thru to www.domain.com/160.jpg using an array i thought would be best but am having trouble getting it to work, i want it to load one image then load next then when it has finished to gotoandplay my main movie.
View 3 RepliesI wrote this script a while ago and it's worked extremely well for me ever since. I use it in nearly every project I do. But the other day I was asked to do a project where I could only use Flash 7.
This is a class I made to easily handle multiple file preloading by passing it an array of files to load. It only has two useful methods. One gets you the current total progress (total of all the files 0-100%) and an onLoadComplete. The actual usage is in the top of the file. It works great under Flash 8, so go ahead and use it.
What's the difference between looping through an array or using array.every() to assign a callback to each array element?
View 3 RepliesHow to preloader all my external .swf website pages at once, so when I hit a button the external .swf don't need seperate preloaders *and so the visitor only needs to wait once time*.
View 2 RepliesI have a rather big (34 MB) Flash CS4 AS3 swf being loaded as a whole into a preloader like
l.load(new URLRequest("sample.swf"));
What are my options to minimize loading time? Can I split the swf and load from several servers? I'm dynamically loading images from the library:
var myBitmapDataObject:myBitmapData = new myBitmapData(100, 100);
var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapDataObject);
addChild(myImage);
Right now I'm declaring/referencing every single image in order to get it included in the compiled clip. Any better way? Haven't got round to using Flex yet.
my swf is 34 MB. Is there a way to compile it to multiple parts and distribute over servers? How would i load that?
View 2 Repliesmy site pretty much work like a slide show. the navigation (6 buttons) takes you from one place to another, moving the content back and forward. The problem with this, is that pretty much all content have to be loaded from start, sometimes when the page loads slow or you are on a bad connection, you get transported to a blank page, since that swf haven't been loaded yet.I'll give you my structure also.[code]If i could combine these two scripts, i think i could get the solution i'm looking for.

View 2 RepliesI have a swf that is built with 3 scenes. The 1st scene is actually the prealoader for the movie.Now, in the last scene i load an external picture (picture.loadMovie(...)). I want to load the picture in the first scene,as i need it allready loaded when displaying it in scene 3. to avoid the loading delay.
View 6 RepliesLet's say I have an swf that loads lot's of jpg files externally (an image gallery for example). Is there a way I can preload all of those images at once so when it gets to the actual gallery they've all already been loaded.
View 1 RepliesI have created this XML image viewer from multiple sources and Scotty's help . I have run into a problem where my thumbnails I load are quite large .swfs...and I need to preload them all until I run the grid_maker_01 function to display them. I have tried many things...but still am having a problem. I need to preload all the thumbs first, THEN display them.
View 3 RepliesJust a quick query about how Flash handles the preolading of multiple external images. I'm not after code examples, because I know there are an abundance of them around, but I need to know how Flash is able to store the images. Do they all have to be loaded onto the stage, or can they be effectively loaded into the library for dynamic creation at a later moment?
For example, I'm creating a very basic Flash gallery which loads a series of jpegs, using paths from an XML file. The way I'm doing it is to drop the image paths into an array, and create an empty movie clip for each jpeg, into which they are loaded. I then set the visibility of all but the first containers to false. Am I right in thinking that if I was able to preload the jpegs without instantiating them, I wouldn't have to create individual containers, and could just attach them dynamically when required?I know that in AS3, display objects can be added to the display stack without actually creating instances of them (with addChild). This is the sort of thing I'm hoping to be able to do.
In my app, scenes on the stage play based on user interaction, and are accompanied by sound clips that are loaded through a soundLoader class (see below). I can play the correct track from the model, but I can't figure out how to correctly write a loadTracks function that will proload all of the track options for a given scene, and then play the correct one based on what the user clicks without a pause. How would I preload and store those sounds in a way that I can use them when needed?
Code:
package mvc
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.media.*;
import flash.events.*;

View 2 RepliesI have 10 sound files in an array.I am wanting to preload all of them and update a counter once each one loads sucessfully.So when song 2 for instance finishes loading then the counter would be at 2,then 3,etc....I think maybe I need to use a while loop to hook each sound into a load event?
View 1 RepliesI found out that I could only get the metadata of the 1st video I clicked. How does metadata works? It could only load once before the video ends?
Here's some example what I'm doing
//will be adding new video when this function is called
public function set newVideo():void
{
videoProperties();
[Code].....
I tried to load all the metadata at once, but seems like it needs the video to be play only it will manage to get the metadata.
Anyone have any experience with bulk-loader for multiple files? Its great for preloading single files, but I am now trying to preload essentially a folder of images. The images have different names (and will change over time), so I can't just create a for loop to preload for example 'image01' then 'image02' etc. They are referenced via XML however, and I'm wondering how I could loop through those, and use bulk-loader to retrieve these...? Essentially I'm confused about integrating XML nodes with bulk-loader, and then also about how to do it with multiple images...?
View 1 RepliesI'm preloading multiple images with my Flash file. What what I'd like to do is preload all of them together, and group them into one preloader that shows the percentage of all of them together in one. At the moment I'm just using a preload GIF to show that they are loading. I'm sure there's a better way.[code]
View 9 RepliesI have two swf files that I exported from After Effects. They are both fairly large (1.7mb and 2.6mb) so I decided to load them into my main fla externally. This works fine but the playback is a little choppy. I tried creating a separate preloader.fla that will play my main movie once it is loaded. This doesn't work though since my main movie is only 4kb (since all the swfs are externally loaded). With me so far?
So then I created a regular preloader inside my main fla. Here is my code:

Code:
Scratch.prototype.loadImages = function() {
for(i = 1; i <= 6; i++) {
tempObj= _root.mcContainer["mcBox" + i].mcPhotoContainer;

As you can see, I'm dynamically loading 6 images into 6 boxes (containers). What I'm trying to make is preloader that shows the loading-status of all six images. So I need the totals (total filesize of the 6 images, and the total amount of loaded bytes)... But it doesn't seem to work this way
I'm working in Flash MX
I made a site completly in flash.
But to lower file size I made the each section a different swf file
when you click a link you will have to wait for that section to load, it would be good if peoples can see the loading progress while they r waiting.
And i hav added a preloader in each of the external swf file.. and then i realise that if i wanna change or modify the preloader, i will have to change all the preloader too.. this is really kicking axx..
is there a way where on the main page there is only 1 preloader needed to show all the external swf files loading progress? i am using an empty mc as container to load thoose external swf files..
how im trying to preload external swf files:[code]i am loading first four swf files from swf directory (page1.swf, page2.swf, page3.swf, page4.swf) - However, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE INVISIBLE WHEN THEY ARE PRELOADED TO THE STAGE.. how should i do that.. "fileLoad._visible = false;" does not work-
View 2 RepliesI have done this tutorial here at kirupa for transitions. My problem is that I am also using a swf file that has an array that calls in jpegs dynamically. So, how can I modify the preloader script to also include the dynamically loading jpegs as well as preloading normal swf files? Here is the script that is inside the swf that is calling the jpegs.
Code:
var imgList:Array = new Array();
imgList[0] = "images/coral.jpg";

I'm creating a video player that have 2 ways of playing the video file. 1st is by streaming. Will play the file directly on each click/ 2nd, is by preloading the video. And only plays it when its fully loaded. But while its preloading, I could still able to click on others video as well to preload the videos and put them on queue for playing.
Currently I'm on the 2nd stage. The problem I'm facing now is it only plays the sound bout not the video. And it overlaps. I'm not sure I have to duplicate the NetConnection or NetStream like how we usually do to duplicate some MovieClip.
ActionScript Code:
public function set newVideo(v:String):void
{
currentStatus = "play";

I understand how to load external swfs into an container with the loadmovie command. I also understand I could make that container invisible so I don't see the movie right away.However, I want to script a preloader that loads swfs without starting them - just gets them into memory. how to do this and then play them on command?
View 1 RepliesI've searched around and havent really found anything definitive about this. Im trying to preload five flv files and then get them to play one after the other with as little pause in between as possible. Im thinking I might need to create five netstreams and then pause them, check to see if theyre loaded, start playing then first when they are with the others hidden, then after flv one is done show the container for flv two, etc. Ive done a test and I still get a bit of a jump in between flvs. Has anyone done then and got it to work without that hiccup?
View 1 RepliesI've been fighting with this for a while now, I am trying preload several jpgs who's locations are stored in an XML file and then display them sequentially (building a vertical list of thumbnails). What I'm having trouble to figure out is how to preload all the images with one preloader and only when all the iloading is done, to start building the list...I saw something similar here on the Forums, but couldn't manage alter it to fit my needsHere's the code I'm using:
Code:
stop();
this.listContainer.setMask(deviceFontMask);

I'm creating an image gallery (similar to the one that is posted in the tutorials at kirupa) but with one difference. Rather than loading each file individually when they are called, I want to preload the whole array of images first and then let the user sift through them. I've tried attaching them into a nested movie clip that has a preloader on it, but it seems that Flash is too quick and will decide the file is loaded before the JPGs are imported.
