ActionScript 2.0 :: XML - Get It To Preload The Contents/images Being Called In The XML File So It Doesn't Run As Soon As The XML File Is Loaded?
Jun 21, 2007
I'm building a flash movie for something at work and im loading in some images using an XML file but when i use a preloader it only preloads the XML file (as in just the text inside) and not the images.
This causes the movie to start playing without having the images loaded.Does anyone have any ideas about how i could get it to preload the contents/images being called in the XML file so it doesn't run as soon as the XML file is loaded.
How I can reload/refresh contents that have been loaded by an external XML file. I have a XML file that has more than one parent node. When I click on a arrow button(to go to the next one) it does not reload or refresh the thumbnails.
im trying to load an mp3 with a pre-loader. My swf plays fine until i click the button that loads the mp3."Error #2044: Unhndled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type."I've used this pre-loader code before no problem. The file name matched and the file is in the root folder. i don't get what the problem is. Here is the code I have on that keyframe:
stop(); var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("music1.mp3"); var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
I am trying to preload an mp3 file dynamically while showing the typical 'percentage loaded' in a dynamic text box. However for some reason, the percentage just doesn't count up - it freezes on 100% even though the mp3 file is still loading. I have included the code that I'm using below. Also, does anyone know what would be the best way to adjust this code so that I could preload multiple mp3 files at the same time or one after another?
I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
I have AS3 project, made with FlashBuilder. I'm using MovieClips from an external .SWC-file. In a MovieClip from the .SWF-file, I want to use an audio-file. Is it possible to preload a sound-file (e.g. .MP3) in my FlashBuilder project, and access it in a MovieClip inside the .SWC?
I have a folder containing some images named 01_image_name.jpg, 02_image_name.jpg, 03_image_name.jpg, ... wich I read with a PHP script. Then I loop loading each image and waiting until all are loaded to display them
So I am having a problem with the flash file at this site: [URL]
Everything is working fine, except for the preloader, which only seems to load after the entire file is 100% loaded, which leaves people who visit the site staring at a black screen for quite some time... The code on the preloader frames is as follows:
frame 1 (which has the background for the preloader/ actual load bar etc} var percent:Number = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/ getBytesTotal()*100); textBox.text = percent + "%"; textBox._alpha = 80;
[Code]....
Also, if you want to check out the actual program just click when you get to the main screen and click to create new shape (mouse x and y change opacity and speed respectivly) I'm using actionscript 2
I have a big problem - I decided to make a website using flash as I am good with photoshop and thought it would be fairly easy to construct in flash using tutorials. All went well except now the website is published, weird things happen. The homepage works fine but when you click on "portfolio" some of the buttons don't appear and when you try the buttons, some images don't appear. Occasionally some of the buttons take you to the wrong place also. When I test the movie in flash, everything works fine so I can't work it out. I am a complete novice so advice will have to be spelt out in black and white.

I have a folder containing some images named 01_image_name.jpg, 02_image_name.jpg, 03_image_name.jpg, ... wich names I read with a PHP script. Then I loop loading each image and waiting until all are loaded to display them
1. The PHP script reads file names and returns a string with names separated by a "|" char, then I use the split method to store them in imagesNames array and sort it2. I loop trough imagesNames array loading images3. Anytime a new image arrives I push it in imagesContainer array and check if all images are loaded to show them
The problem is there's no guarantee they arrive in the same order they were requested. So, how I sort the imagesContainer array by file name, i.e. in the same order they are in imagesNames array?
I watch the video tutorial of Mr. Lee Brimelow, I follow the tutorials but I encountered an error the loaded swf file doesn't start at frame 1 it jumps up to 115 frames.preloader.flamain.fla - animation starts at frame 115main.fla containts different scenes.
I am working on a script for a thumbnail gallery. This is a script i found on the net. Now i want to add a mirror effect.The .fla uses several frames. and has a few action frames. And because i don't really know where the problems starts and why.You should know that the images are dynamicly loaded trough a xml file.
I have a slide show script that will load images from an xml file. I want to have anyone upload images and the slide show will resize the picture to fit. Here is my script:
Code: import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; xmlImages = new XML();
This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.
I am working on Adobe AIR application and some test users report to me about same issue.When they try to save the project file from this application, they have no possibility to add any extension (".txt", ".xml" or any other) to the file.
I am sending out a standalone player that uses an xml driven image gallery. I need to prevent changes to the xml file to stop images being added to the gallery. I can can password protect the xml file to prevent changes, but I also wondered if there was a way to validate the authenticity of the xml file from within Flash to prevent the entire file being replaced?
i have banner with 5 images fad in fade out effecti need to load images & test from external file " text file or xml file " with keeping fade effects on imagesall ways i know can't keep fading effect on images so
Why doesn't this code go through the XML file in order? It should go through the XML file and display the images/comments as they are ordered in the XML file.
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {[code].....
Is it possible to control one loaded SWF File eg.(MOVIE-1.swf) from another loaded SWF file eg.(MOVIE-0.swf) on a different level? eg. with a syntax like:
I will try to be as clear as I can. I have an existing swf file that I want to add Play,Pause, FF and Rewind via an externally loaded swf file that has the controls contained in it.I am loading an external swf file that has all of the controls on it via this code:
// Set up the Mouse to use a listener var mouseListener = new Object(); Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

[Code]....
I am doing this so I can rollover the viewing window and have it appear. I cannot get any code to work to control the timeline (which is broken down into sections with individual MC's in each section.
What I am looking for is the code to apply to the buttons on the external swf file that has the controls to control the playing of the movie.
I have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);
