ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Slideshow - How To Preload Images

Dec 9, 2008

Have built a variation of the xml slideshow using the XML basics video - works great but would like to preload the image(s) so they don't "blink" in when loaded (looks like there's a slight delay before it displays the image).

Preload Images For Random Slideshow?

Jun 8, 2009

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Slideshow With 1 Preload?

Jun 15, 2005

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.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Preload Next Photo In Slideshow?

Apr 10, 2009

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:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preload Images Before Displaying?

Nov 24, 2009

I have 2 .swf files - home.swf and gallery.swf. Home.swf acts as a preloader and loads gallery.swf. This file contains links that when clicked, will change the thumbnails shown in the galleryswf file. Gallery.swf is basically an image wall that uses various XML files to populate itself.

So, the idea is this: When a user clicks on a link in the home.swf, I would like the current gallery to tween off the stage while the new gallery tweens on the stage from the other side. This all works so far.

What I don't know how to do is make sure that all of the thumbnails in the new gallery are loaded BEFORE tweening it onto the stage. I have event listeners in the gallery.xml file that listen for when the XML has completed loading and I have listeners in the home.swf file to listen for when the gallery has loaded. However, when the home.swf loads the gallery.swf, it is doing just that an not waiting for the images in the gallery to load first. So, I am getting a blank gallery to slide onto the page and the user watches the thumbnails show up as they load.

My goal is to get home.swf to load the gallery.swf and not show it or start tweening it until all of the thumbnails have been loaded.

So, my question is, when home.swf is loading the new gallery.swf, how do I get it to fire the complete event after all of the thumbnails have been loaded by the gallery.swf file?[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Preload External Images

Jul 30, 2006

My problem is that I have a swf file that loads external jpegs and I cannot get the tutorial to work correctly with this swf. It only preloads the the swf and not the external content that this swf is calling.Here is the code that I have on the main timeline of the home.swf

PHP Code:

var imgList:Array = new Array();
imgList[0] = "images/image00.jpg";
imgList[1] = "images/image01.jpg";
imgList[2] = "images/image02.jpg";

[code]....

The rest of my swf files preload correctly but I just can't get it to preload this one correctly at all.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preload External Swf That Loads In XML Images

Apr 13, 2009

I have 2 SWF's: main.swf and contents.swf. The contents.swf loads in external images via XML and also loads in some text via the same XML file. I have a button in the main.swf file that loads the contents.swf. When the contents.swf is fully loaded into the main.swf file, the text (called from the contents.swf via XML) loads super fast while the images continue to load (since they are larger files). My question is how do I make it so that when the button on the main.fla file is clicked, BOTH the text and images are loaded at the same time (so that there is not a delay between loaded text and loaded images)??

The project is in AS3 and just to let you know I just started out learning the new language. I'm not very familiar with classes so all of my code is written in the timeline on the first frame.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload Multiple External Images Into Animations?

Feb 2, 2011

I am not too familiar with flash / action script though it does look a lot like JavaScript which I am fairly familiar with.

what I need:

I have an animation that looks like an envelope is opening and a letter comes out. It works fine but what I want to do next is the tough part.

I want to be able to change the envelope images / letter via php. I am successfully passing in the parameters and images but unfortunately my preloader doesn't pre-load those external images causing the animations to lag or not show up. I need them to all be loaded in 1 preloader.

What I have so far:

in PHP I pass the variables via URL to the flash:

Code:
$invite = $_GET['inv'];
$env = $_GET['env'];
$vars = "inv=" . $invite . "&env=" . $env;

I got the swf online at url...If you go to any section in the designs menu (3d design, 2d design or webdesign) and click a image you get the script that gives the NaN.I only get NaN in Firefox, Internet Explorer just gives 0. But either way i would like to see percentages rather than 0 or NaN.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Call The LoadMovie Initiate The Preload + External Images

Apr 16, 2005

a SWF that will serve as the main movie for the site. Inside this SWF, I have a script that loads a JPG into a holder MC that's on stage. So basically it's like this:

- main.fla
-- holder_mc (this isn't an empty MC, it has some PNG's inside)
--- external JPG loaded in by loadMovie

I'm ok with building a preloader for the holder_mc and the rest of the FLA (without the size info of the external JPG), but how would I incorporate the size of the external JPG into my initial preloader before I actually start playing everything. Would I have to set the holder_mc visibility to false, call the loadMovie, initiate the preload, and then set visibility back to true. There's gotta be a better way?
