Just one annoyance with both my slideshow and kirupa's, the user has to wait for each image to preload as the slideshow goes through the first time...I am trying to get my head around how to successfully implement one preload at the start for ALL slideshow images.
Code:
#include "as/movieclip_lib.as"
#include "mc_tween2.as"[codee]....
I'm using FMX04 but want the final output to be an AS 1.0 FP 6 file only.
Flash slideshow by getting it to preload the next photo (from a folder of numbered jpgs) when the current photo is done loading, but I can't quite get it worked out and I'm not sure what I'm missing... What I thought I might try is to have two movie clips to hold photos, one on the stage and one off the stage.
I would load the current photo into the movie clip on the stage(pictures.slides) and when that finishes I would load the next photo in the movie clip off the stage (pictures.preloadNextPhoto) so that it would already download the image and would load faster when the user clicks "Next". It doesn't work. I won't load the whole script in here, but this is the movieloader function with the meat of the functionality:

I am using a random slideshow on the homepage of my website. It worded perfect when I was testing it locally, but now that I've uploaded it to an external server which is a bit slower, and there is a delay between loading images. Here's the work in progress site: [url]... I know it has to do with the way the actionscript is written, and the order in which functions are carried out. I just cant seem to get it to function the way I would like it to. I would like it to immediately load the first image and display it, then while that first image is displayed I would like it to load the second image. Right now it waits until the first image finishes displaying to load the next image.

View 2 RepliesI have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.
i have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.

I have a site with several images on it. there is a main image with buttons on it, and each button load a series of images (simulating a zoom) What i want to know is if there is a way to preload the external swf (the ones each button loads) while the user is looking the main movie, so, when he presses a button, the external swf plays inmediately and there is no "loading" time. I try several ways and google it and find some tutorials but no one works.

It preloads just fine, but it doesnt preload the FLV contained in each swf. It just preloads my 200kb swf file, not the contents, so my movie still has to wait to play. how can I get my preloader to preload everything so that when the SWF comes up, all data will be loaded and I can click through to the end of he FLV movie?
I have made an xml slideshow but my issue is that the images take a few seconds to load when going to the next image. I want to put a transition between them but because of the loading time it doesn't work right. way to getting all the images to preload?

View 9 RepliesThe code above is my standard preloader for swf, I use it since long time and its all working, I managed above the script another one that load the flv?s that I use in the array. The two are working but my need is that the container only start to play the module after all the flv?s have been loaded to the cache.
One thing to note is that in the second script the array is playing the flv?s when should be only load, I?ve try to give a ns.pause(); but if I do that the array dont get to the end of it.

This code is loading external file, but I need only one mc from library of actual fla.[code]...
I have a main movie which loads another swf using the Loader class. Once the sub swf is loaded, the sub swf will call an XML to get a dictionary and translate all the text to one language or another. Since the preloader will not take into account a call to an external XML, would this be the correct way to do it? It's plain text but I'm not sure if I will get blank text for a few seconds if a user has a slow connection.
I thought of maybe using dispatchEvent on my sub-movie to tell my parent that the xml is loaded and THEN start the game. What do you think? Any better alternatives? I also checked out LoaderMax (from greensock), since it seems it has some functionality that enables you to take into account external calls from your main preloader... But I haven't tested it out yet.
I am becoming crazy because I really don't find a way to preload the texture image which is automatically loaded by the DAE class.
All that I want is to display the progression of the image loading, before displaying the DAE.
The program works just fine, and I am able to play the vídeo.flv in the augmented reality, but i need a preload for this because the flv is about 20Mb... how can I begin to add a preload to this project?
View 1 RepliesI want just file preload 50% and then it play, 50% remain it will load while playing. But I can't do it, here is my code:
[Code]...
1- Main movie (index.swf) in 190KB size with a preloader.
2- Sound movie (Sound.swf) in 880kb in size. (A volume control bar and the music in different layers)
3- A placeholder for sound movie inside the main movie.
Problem: When page starts, the index.swf preloads and starts correctly, after that the movie begins. The thing I want ( and I can not do is) the sound bar to preload in the preloader and then the control bar to become vissible while music starts. you can both use loading the external swf to main movie or user another method.
I've discovered that my .swf becomes verry big if I just import every picture So that why I want to load the picture's into the swf. On kirupa i found this code and it works verry nice:
on(press){
loadMovie("loadme.jpg",_root.theTarget);
}
But I also want to make a preload bar, so you can see how manny bytes are loaded. I've done some tutorials on kirupa, and now i know how to make a preloader and i know how to use loadMovie... but i cant script it togetter
