ActionScript 2.0 :: Unde-bloody-fined - Make Sure The XML And ASP File Is Done Loading In Time?
Jun 25, 2008
carousel > XML > ASP the carousel looks in the XML to find the ASP file location. then from the ASP file loads some images (the file names are in the ASP file). for Firefox it is great (Firefox continuously loads until all is loaded then stops) but windows internet explorer will load ONCE and only once. this means that it doesn't load the ASP file in time and all the images dont load and any other information under the spinning images is undefined.
i know the information and images are there because when i refresh it works fine (it caches the information previously loaded) is there a way to make sure the XML and ASP file is done loading in time?

I want to make a preloaded for loading the main content of the swf file. I put my main program code on frame 2 and put this code on frame 1:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.net.*;
[Code].....
My issue is it does not seem to track the progress. The trace statement in the onProgress function only displays after it is fully loaded. I thought this was suppose to loop.

I'm using ActionScript 2 and I already placed the progress bar on the stage assigned it the instance name ProgressBar0 but i'm confused on how to give it a label, have it start at a certain time and end at a certain and show the percentage complete in the label.

im following some suggestions to cut my flash website into a few sections to make preloading a bit easier.
so all i want is to make a small round ring rotate as long as the file is loading. so i looked and followed a lot tutorials but all the preloaders tutorials are much more compliceted then i need. they all have persentige sowing, and a bar that is filling according to how much the file has loaded, and colors changing etc. so i tried to take from the tutorials wat i need for my simple preloader to work but i get stuck.i built the animation of the rotating ring, but i get stuck with the actions i need to make the animation work as long as the file is working. i called my ring animation "circularloader". here is a image of the page with the ring:

im making a flash upload thingy for my site, it has options to set the expiry time of the file, each time has a button which needs to be made from an array (which comes forma php script, not really relevent)... here is my code..
ActionScript Code:
if (vars.options == undefined){[code]....
i know the x values are too small but they should still all appear on the stage right ?, only the final item in the array appears...i think i might be replacing the previous one with the new one.

I have a game built and I would like to reduce the loading time to the minimum possible.One of my ideas is to load the essential assets and some lower quality images the first time, leaving the higher quality images and some of the functionality out at first (for instance things like buttons that change the background color), and once the player enters the game, the rest of the functionality and its assets (images and sounds) will be loading in the background using the Loader class.So once the non-essential assets and the high quality images have loaded they will fade in and substitue the lower quality assets in the most subtle way possible.
Also... Would it be better to have various instances of a "Loader" class and try to load everything at once, or load stuff in order with a single instance of the "loader" class listening to the Event.COMPLETE event ?

I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?

My UILoader component seems to only want to load one swf at a time. ie if it loads "gallery-sketches.swf" first then it wont load "gallery-graphics.swf".If it loads "gallery-graphics.swf" first than it wont load "gallery-sketches.swf". They work just fine individually but one cancels the other out when you put them together.Here are my errors (the "2","9" and "5" are tracing a random number generator and I'm 99.99% sure they have nothing to do with the error):

I have some XML AS that creates buttons and loads data into some text fields. Also loads an image when you click a link...It works great most of the time! But I have noticed sometimes it just doesnt load the text and I need to click onto another frame and click back to make it work... I am guessing there is some small thing missing from my code?

I am loading an external swf animation and playing an audio which should be synchronized with the loaded swf i have used the loader class for loading swf and sound channel to load sound, when the audio gets fully loaded only we are calling function to load swf, at that time audio remains stopped when the swf too gets fully loaded, we are adding swf int stage and playing the audio. In local system it works fine but when we upload it its not synchronizingly properly for the first time The issue what i see is that swf (only one is there) gets loaded frome inbetween ie the first ceration animations are missing. and audio is playing from the begining why is it so....

I'm designing a flash game where you collect an item to gain score, which then moves to another random spot where you can collect it again, etc. I've got most of it working, but I also want to add a "bonus" item, which appears after a specified time in a random place (like the original item), but I can't seem to get it working.
I tried using setInterval, but it just kept jumping all around the screen, which isn't what I wanted. I just wanted it to appear on the stage and stay there until you collect it. So I tried using a clearInterval after, and it just didn't work.

How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

I have a rotating menu that when clicked rotates and loads in swf movies, OnClick.
The problem I seem to be having is that because the swf movies load in on click it seems to be causing the rotation of the menu not to run smooth.
Question: Is it possible to get the swf movies to load in once the action of the click has completed its action. some kind of 2 second delay before the movies load in??
what happens: you can click or mouse scroll through the menu, when you click, the action repositions the selected Item (ActiveItem) in the center and resizes larger. this works great, is it possible after this action is complete to then load in the swf movies?
to see how the movie runs at the moment this is the link: [URL]
you will see at the moment onClick the movies load straight away which makes the rotation not smooth when rotating around.
I can't seem to get the mouse scroll to work the same function as the click at the moment also.....thats for another day

I'm trying to learn something new: "contentLoaderInfo" and need some advice. I'm loading a bunch of thumbs so far, and will be loading the large version of those images later (after I get this part working) for a gallery.
I declared all the loaders and the URLRequests. And listeners like this: loader1.addEventListener.COMPLETE, processLoaderOne; loader2.addEventListener.COMPLETE, processLoaderTwo;etc.
If I try to load them all in successive statements,
loader1.load(URLRequest1);loader2.load(URLRequest2);loader3.load(URLRequest3);loader4.load(URLRequest4); and in the functions (processLoaderOne, processLoaderTwo, etc.) if I try to place the content on the stage by saying: loader2.x=loader1.x+loader1.contentLoaderInfo.width, it doesn't work.
I get this message: "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
But if I "daisy-chain" them together by loading one loader (and use contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processLoaderOne) ) and put a load statement to load the next subsequent loader as the last line in that function, it works OK.
Is there any way to use the first method, loading all the loaders at the same time? And using Event.COMPLETE in their addEventListener declarations?

I have a flash file that loads 3 straight XML files, one after other.And in every single code I have the sucess condition, like this:
ActionScript Code:
if (success){
doRightStuff();[code].........
Later, I added a function and an Interval to do the verifying:
ActionScript Code:
goBack = function () {
gotoAndPlay("untilItWork1");[code]..............
Didn't work also. Las try was a completely stupid addition: a variable counter that increased it's value 100 times (doing the XML calling and loading everytime), to check if the problem was some delay issue. 5 minutes later, it didn't work also.The second time I load the f**king page, it works like a charm.

I have a main movie in which I load two types of external movies, pages and themes. My main swf slows down which each click of one of the menu items. I've tried doing and unloadAndStop for the external swf's but that does even put a dent in the flash player memory usage as shown by System.totalMemory trace.
A theme will load in an empty movie clip(acting as a container) on the stage, then a page will load in another empty movie clip on the stage. For example, pageContiainer movie clip will receive page1.swf. themeContainer will receive themeNeutral.swf.
I'm thinking this should not be an issue, as each movie clip simply receives an external swf, which is then replaced by another external swf upon a given load command. But I can't seem to get the looaded SWF(s) out of memory and the System.totalMemory just keeps going up and up.

i'm making a website and it has some parts with flash such as the background. You can see the site here: [URL] You will see that the preloading of the background is too long beacuse i have 4 images as background in the library. the images are 950 x 650 pixel jpegs that in the library use the Photo(compression). So when the swf is on loading it take a lot of time.

I am building a flash site and currently I'm not using an timeline or any images in the library. I'm using the image loader class to load in all images for each page. The trouble is that images load one by one. I want them to wait until they are all loaded before appearing together on the stage.First: Is this best practice? What do professionals do when it comes to loading images / pages.Second: Even if I add a preloader they still load individually. Here's some example code which loads the contents to my map.swf
public function Map()
{
img = "PageBack.png";

I have a "loader.swf" after which my "main.swf" loades. I have used a loaderPro v3 (AS2) component. Doing that was easy but then when it starts loading, even before the loading completes the main.swf starts playing in the background. And i have no coding in my actions panel.

I am loading a photo gallery with an external swf. The swf loads and then there is a delay before the 1st image starts to load. There is a preloader for the swf - that finishes loading - then there is a delay and after a few seconds, the preloader for the gallery starts to load.
Why is there a delay before the image gallery preloader begins?
