ActionScript 2.0 :: Quick Troubleshoot: Preloader With External MP3?
Apr 27, 2005
I had a preloader that would load in some external SWF's... and now decided to also preload a sound I am importing using aSoundObject.load(). This is how I added the sound to the preloader:
Code:
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("som/fundo.mp3", false);
bytes = myExternalSwfContainer.getBytesTotal() + mySound.getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = myExternalSwfContainer.getBytesLoaded() + mySound.getBytesLoaded();
For some reason, whenever the preloader starts now... it'll start something around 70%, so I traced the loadedBytes and found out that it thinks its already loaded about 100Kb on the first loop through (even though it hasn't). So then, the preloader reaches 100%, calls the site, and the sound isn`t even loaded in completely yet.

I am rotating an object by incrementing in 90 degrees,however after 180degrees it rotates to -90...then it can't quite make it's mind up if it should go to -180, or 0, which should be the same thing? (except it messes up my if statements down the line)(by that I mean, sometimes it will go back to 0, and sometimes it will switch to -180??)Where is 270, and for that case, 360?

I have a pretty simple script that allows you to draw multiple rectangles using the drawing API in MX. I need to create multiple MC containers, so that I can later do other functions to these areas.Now, what I can't figure for the life of me is why the rectangles are drawing in the way they are. If you copy this script into a blank file and run it, you'll see what I mean. Why is it duplicating/replicating/echoing as you draw? If you debug and list Objects, it is creating the MCs properly, so where are these other lines coming from? I'm sure this is something simple to fix, that there is some recursion going on, but I can't troubleshoot it.
Code:
drawLevel = 0;
drawOK = "yes";
this.onMouseDown = function() {

changing a preloader I have into a preloader that can be used for loading external swf.Now the code for the preloader is
loadedbytes = getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/1000);
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/1000);

I'm trying to create a preloader for a site I am creating. Originally I was going to make it an internal preloader, but I ran into that issue where the preloader doesn't start until 50% (or more). After searching these forums for a solution to "that" issue, I found it suggested that the best way to fix it is simply do an external preloader instead.
When testing the preloader using the bandwidth editor, I see that the preloader animation isn't starting now until it's at 100%, instead I simply get a white screen. Once it reaches 100% the preloader animation runs through and then...nothing. My main.swf doesn't load. It just stops.
Here is my code:
Code:
var fileToLoad:Loader = new Loader();
var fileURL:String = "testmovie.swf";
var fileRequest: URLRequest = new URLRequest(fileURL);
[code]...
preloader is my movieclip with the animation, and preloader.loading_txt is a textbox inside that mc which displays the % loaded. I wanted to make it so that once the preloader (and its animation) reach 100%, the preloader mc then plays frames 101 - 124 (which are a small transition animation into the main site). Once it reaches 124 it's supposed to call the main.swf to load.

I have been trying to create from scratch and/or use SpinningPreloaderComponent to create a preloader for a SWF that loads an external flv in frame 2.What seems to be happening is that The preloader exists for about 5 seconds and then jumps to frame 2 and continues to load without the progress meter. Although I've tried to use bytes total or default settings, nothing seems to work correctly.So I'm wondering if this problem is created because the preloader can't measure the flv size? Also wondering if it is possible to start playing the flv at say load of 20% as a buffer rather than 100%. I have also set the flv as progressive when trying to insert it directly via Dreamweaver CS5 but all I get is a blank screen.

I'm new to the forum and I am a student at TAFE in Sydney. We have a project which I've managed to get together OK, 5 page Flash site (SWF's) one main template page with bk'gnd, banner and menu bar and 4 other swf's that load into the main one with their own content and they all load images and external dynamic text with css. The site is working perfectly, WOW wat a headspin, lol.
Now I'm stumped, the next part of the project is to make a preLoader for the site and I haven't got a good understanding of how to set one up. I've watched some tutorials but can't quite get it to happen. tried a couple of different ways and I have a project with a perloader in it but I can't seem to get it to work.
The preLoader has to have a progress bar and it works in the other project. I've tried making that preloader work but don't quite know how to set it up. My understanding of the preLoader is that it loads images into the browser before everything else and the progress bar shows the progress of the downloading images and I think the preloader I have done would suffice if I knew how to set it up properly.

but when I play the main movie & click on my button for this external swf to load, it loads the main movie again. I need the preloader to load the new external swf. I understand it is because of the _root appearing at 3 places. But I dont know what to replace that with.

I know it has been explained so many times but I can't get this f**er to work. Has been killing for almost two days, went through gozillions of posts and forums and still nothing,so many things go wrong. The case is simple:How do I put an external swf into my loader swf? both swfs are 700x700 and I want the embedded swf ("16.swf") to start when the loading bar ('preloader', size 232.1) goes to 100% .I have three frames:
1:
var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
preloader._height = amountLoaded * 232.1;

I have a project that has one Main SWF, and that loads many external SWF's. This is working great. However, i would like to have each external Swf have it's own preloaded on the first frame of that SWF. I currently have a preloader that works on the first frame of my main SWF, and the code looks like this:
Code:
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoading);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onLoading(evt:ProgressEvent):void {
[code]....
So I tried to duplicate this Preloader for one of my external Swf's, but it does not work. As soon as the external SWF gets loaded the native loading dots come in rather than my custom loader.

I have a small big (well I hope it's small, that I can't see where I am goign wrong).
I have a check box and when the user selects that and then clicks a ok button then it should load some new XML into a textfield. The problem is it doesn't seem to want to get past the actual function. I know with the trace statement that it knows it's selected and the OK button has been clicked but it just won't go to the loadXML function. Can anyone see something I'm not?

I have my main movie, and from there an external movie is loaded which has a scrollpane on it. Problem is the preloader will not show when the external swf is loaded...when the button is clicked, nothing happens for about 3 seconds and then eventually the scrollpane comes up. I have the preloader on Scene 2, and it works for all my other external swfs so I know its the scrollpane issue.[code]I have tried have the "export to first" frame linkage thing but that doesnt work... does anyone know how best to do this?

Having problems with creating a simple progress bar with percentage loader recieving bytes loaded from a external swf file loading into a empty movieclip using as2. When exported the progress bar is complete and reads 100% and doesn't load the swf. Other attempts resulted with the loader not being shown and the swf being loaded, which is good but, the progress loader doesn't appear.
Here is the code I'm using.

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).
