ActionScript 2.0 :: Reliable Preloader For Multiple Thumbs?
Oct 20, 2009
I am having difficaulties getting a preloader to work when I have multiple thumbnails loading. I am trying to simply have the loading spinner movie (preload) dissapear when the image is loaded, and the image fade up (medThumbLoader)Each instance of the thumbnail is contained in a movie clip (so approx 12 instances of these) generated via xml, with the following code, I assume as each is in an individual movie clip the variables wouldnt clash: Im not sure if you can use getbytesloaded for multiple instances though?
medThumbLoader.loadMovie("/gallery/"+gallID+"/rep/represent.jpg");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
l = medThumbLoader.getBytesLoaded();
[code].....

I 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.

I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.

I keep getting a 'cannot contact reliable source' error when trying to install Adobe Flash Player 10.3.

Every security setting is turned to its lowest setting on IE9. Every single Norton setting is turned off, every one. No file scanning is taking place.
Nevertheless, the scroll bar goes to 12%, sits there, looks stupid, and then the message appears "Cannot contact reliable source".
I set Norton to recognize the file as a trusted file. No difference.
Is Adobe deciding to make these downloads impossibly difficult as a business strategy? Never in my decades of using computers (I've been doing so since 1972) have I encountered such a ridiculous procedure.
And I'm supposed to pay $39 for stupidty? Why, as far as I'm concerned, Adobe should be fined for the idiocy it is doing to its customers. Even having to close the browser at the right time (I never get that far) is the dumbest procedure I've ever seen. Or is this part of a strategy to sell Macs?

In answering a question on stack overflow, one person recommended using the following code to detect flash server-side, he pointed out that it does not work in safari:
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'application/x-shockwave-flash')){
$hasFlash = true;}
Testing for Flash capability on the server-side. My question: why does it not work in safari, and how reliably does it work with other browsers?

I'm looking for a reliable mocking framework for ActionScript. I've been using mock-as3, but I'm annoyed with what I feel is a hack-ish solution for triggering events. There are other a few other reasons why I'd like to have some options, but not sure if I necessarily need to go into them. I've also looked into Mock4AS, but the interface appears to be cumbersome.

I posted a tread about this yesterday but I think I wasn't clear enough so here's the details of my project. Lets say I have 5 page to load and I want them to load all at the same time. [code]...
And my last concern is that I want to be sure that once the loading (for all the pages) have been executed, when the user enters the other pages they won't see the preloader or it will take less than 1 sec to go trough it.

Is there any way to determine a file type from a url when the file extension is not a reliable indicator? Since there are different APIs for playing video, audio, or displaying images, you need to know the filetype beforehand.

I have 5 page to load and I want them to load all at the same time. The address (not real) of the pages could be: [URL]s. In each folder, there's a index.html that have a swf called main.swf in it. So for example, if someone writes [URL] I want a preloader to start and load the 5 main.swf in the 5 folders and when it's done, it should play the main.swf of the address written (in this example contact).
So in this example I imagine I would have a preloader.swf in every folder, since I want to be sure that the user will preload the entire website whatever the way he uses to enter it (from index-from sitemap-from direct address or bookmark). And my last concern is that I want to be sure that once the loading (for all the pages) have been executed, when the user enters the other pages they won't see the preloader or it will take less than 1 sec to go trough it.

I'm trying to load multiple preloaders, for some reason the following code only works on one movie clip.
for (var i:int = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
var mc = new MovieClip();
var pre = new PreLoader();[code].....
This only works on the last movieclip created when I need to have each movieclip have it's own preloader.

I have the following code that loads multiple images from an xml file. How do I create a preloader that accounts for all the images together and represented by a single progress bar? In other words, if I have four images, I want them to preload with a single progress bar representing the total of all four, and then start the movie after all four have finished loading.
ActionScript Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

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.

I was wondering if someone could help me. I've spent months looking for an AS2 preloader that does the following:
1. Preloads multiple external swf files into a single movie holder.
2. Starts automatically preloading once the parent file is launched.
3. Contains a progress bar with % downloaded.
4. Can be placed on a "Preload" scene.
Working on the file in Flash CS3, AS2. I've looked at tutorials, scanned the web, etc. And I still can't find the right one, or even how to make one.

I am experimenting with AS3 and I created a page that loads around 35 images to the screen from XML and randomly scatters them on the stage. I know how to use the ProgressEvent to show the loading for each individual image, but I am trying to figure out a way to show it as a whole. The one think ive tried & acheived is to have total number of loaded images divided by total number of images. So when 15 of 30 images are loaded its 50 %, etc.... But Id like to have a more effcient preloader that shows the actually loading.

I'm creating a 360 turn by importing .png files into each movie clip. I wanted the preloader bar to increase in size as each one loads. Once the preloader is completed on frame one, I have it go and stop on frame 2, but there is a blank screen for a view seconds. I think the images were still loading after the preloader was completed.

I want some AS3 script equivalent to the following script (which I've made-up):
loadallthefollowingswfs.intocache("home.swf", "products.swf", "contact.swf");
I want a bunch of different swfs, all of which are in the same directory, to be loaded into the cache prior to viewing any of the swfs.I would like to put this script into the first frame of an index.swf Upon loading ALL of the swfs into the cache, it will move on to frame 2 of the index.swf and continue forward.
All of the other discussions around the web state to either "have each swf load once it is opened" (I don't want that, I want them all preloaded into the cache prior to viewing any one of the swfs), or the discussions say "you should combine all of the flas into a single fla and just preload that one swf file (I don't want that either, I want seperate fla/swf files). how to load multiple swfs into the cache when accessing one frame of an swf?

I'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]

I need to preload 2 external .swfs, one containing animation and one containing sound, and I need them to start playing at the same time. As of now I have a general preloader on the main timeline, but as you might expect, after the preloader finishes, there is a lag while the .swf's are being loaded. I thought everything was solved, until a friend of mine looked at it in dial-up, and the preloader just kept looping 10 times before the animation started, so now I'm starting over. Part of my complication I believe is that I'm using loadMovieNum into levels as opposed to loading the external .swf's in a separate container MC (that's what I've noticed most people recommend for this problem), but I tried doing that technique several times with no luck. Right now my main movie, index.fla, has a preloader MC in the first frame, with this AS attached to the clip:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
[Code] .....
The clip contains a loadbar, static text (which just says 'Loading'), dynamic text (which tells the percentage), and a 'stop' in the actions layer. In the actions layer within my main movie, there is a 'stop' on the first frame as well. On the second frame, there is this AS:
Code:
var audioOn = false;
loadMovieNum("musicfile.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum("1movie.swf", 2);
stop();
In order that the animation and music starts at the same time, within my animation .swf (1movie.swf), I have this AS on the first frame of the actions layer:
Code:
if (_level0.audioOn == true) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Within my musicfile.swf, there is this AS on the second frame of the mp3:
Code:
_level0.audioOn = true;
My main objective is to be able to use my preloader to preload both of these .swf's concurrently in my main movie so that they may start at the same time.
