ActionScript 2.0 :: A Size Constraint That Makes Using Preloaders Inefficient?
Jan 11, 2004
I have an original flash site that has a preloader mc and it functions 100%.
[code]...
I take this preloader and dump it into a new site and it doesn't work... Now this new site is actually much larger than the original site and the swf for it is close to 2 MB.Is there a size constraint that makes using preloaders inefficient?I've tried making the preloader in another scene and still no go, maybe I should try the preloader and load the site with AS for loading an external swf? I've read a few post from the forum and I'm not sure I understand 'how' to get the preloader to match the % bytes of the externally loading swf...

I seem to be getting a funny problem whenever people click a bit too early on another link whilst a movieclip file is loadingthe prime example is here, you click to enter the site, then a .swf loads within a MC to give you the "homepage" content (in this case some rather pretty girls wearing some t-shirts) the problem comes when the user gets bored of waiting too long and decides to click else where, for example, the user clicks on events.This then begins loading the events.swf file into the loader_MC I have, and once loaded begins mass playing the file constantly ( warning, it does flash very quickly, so if that sort of thing set you off, dont click it =O!)This is what my preloader code looks like in the loading files (such as home.swf, events.swf, etc
ActionScript Code:
mycallback = setInterval(preloader, 10);
//function to be called to test for download

Im developing a full browser flash website for a photographer and I should make the pictures really big. Now my problem is that when you see the website in a smaller resolution than the one im using, images get too big. What i need is a function that resizes the image box according to the stage size, but I dont know how to constraint the image proportions. For instance I would make something that would do imageMc._width=Stage.width*0.8 so I could have the image with 80% of the screen size.... but how to make it proportional with height?url...

i placed a fullscreen background image in my website but when i scale my browser window it also scales unproportionaly (or distorted).
Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"
Stage.align = "TL";
bgTest._width = Stage.width
bgTest._height = Stage.height

I'm trying to improve a simple AS3 slingshot that is available at [URL] so that i can make it more realistic. I already changed it so that is possible to aim the ball in any direction, but now I'm trying to create a function that constraints the maximum pull of the slingshot to an elliptical area, preferably having the same two points of the slingshot as the ellipse two focus:

i have an image that follows my cursor when i click an 'on' button. But the image follows my cursor around the entire stage. What i want to do is have the image only follow my cursor when it is passed over a specific MC. So when the mouse is outside of the MC, it is a regular cursor, when it passed over the MC, it turns into the image without the cursor being visible.

use Flex which has a great constraint based layout system architecture by default, but in Flash CS3 there is no built in way to do this. To create intelligently resizing layouts, you have to manually resize each element on a stage resize event. This can create obscene amounts of code really fast, especially if you start to work in simple arithmetic to avoid hard coding in positions, such as "stageWidth-obj.x-obj.width" etc.
Is there any code library to do this for you built in AS3? I basically want something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var layout = new Layout();
layout.header_mc = 'left|right|top';
layout.left_mc = 'left|top|bottom';

I am getting the following two errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constraint: GetSet.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method GetSet.
I believe if 1046 is solved, 1180 will no longer be a problem. Here are the codes:
File: GetSet.FLA:
Code:
var myGetSet: GetSet = new GetSet();
myGetSet.publicAccess = "hello";
trace(myGetSet.publicAccess);
[code]...
Both these files are in the same folder. I dont understand why I am getting this error as the class 'GetSet' already exists.

I was wondering how are circular preloaders done? Not just a preloader with a circular animation but actually a circle that grows with the progress.

I swear, this problem alone is the toughest issue I've ever had to figure out with Flash.Let me explain... You created a preloader to show a loading external swf's bytes loaded, which is to be placed in a empty movieclip once fully loaded.Your overall size for your fla.is around 40 mb. Create a windows projector.exe and the loader doesn't work, the movie loads but you don't see a loader. I've exhausted every possible solution I can think of.

I have moved on to using a Fireworks preloader in Flash. I have one timeline, my slideshow of 3 images starts on frame2, I insert my Fireworks loader into Flash from the Flash libary and place in Frame1. All fine however after my slideshow of 3 images is finished before it loops again the preloader blinks on the screen before the slideshow starts again. Is there anyway of stopping the preloader appearing after the slideshow has started? I know it sounds petty but I would like it if the preloader does its stuff at the beginning and then does not show again.

This is something that has bugged me for a while, and I just can't seem to find the answer.My issue involves preloading my site and images that are dynamically loaded. My preloader, as it should, considers whatever is on my stage. But the preloader never waits for my dynamic stuff to load. Why is that??So my problem is that the preloader "thinks" that everything is loaded and send the user to the home page of the site, where none of the dynamically loaded images have appeared yet.

I'm using a simpel preloader script that holds the movie on frame 1, and plays frame 2 when everything is loaded.I used this script before without any problems, but for some reason the textfield with the "loading"-text only shows up at exactly 50%.There are no other objects/movieclips/textfieds except this one "loading"-text on frame 1. When I trace the 'update()'-function, it traces once at the beginning of the script, holds, and than traces as it should after 50%.[code]

When I put the common code for create a preloder in the beginning of the flash presentation, it will load the content of all the movie. But if I want to use different preloaders for loading JPEG's or mc, or different scenes, independly??

All the information I've seen about preloaders show that one must make the preloader in the main scene, don't know why, I'm building [URL] with a fancy preloader, since i tryed making a group mc to contain all the elements of the preloader it stoped working. What i find strange is that sometimes grouping a simple preloader in a mc does work.

I have this code that uses a target box that shrinks down around the button you clicked on in a _scale tween/normal tween
Loader_xTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(holder_mc,"_x", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone, holder_mc._x, target._x, 100,false);
Loader_yTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(holder_mc, "_y",

I have a few swfs loaded into the 'main' swf file through 'load movie'. As each of the independent swfs are quite big files, I need a preloader for each of them. However, when I include the 'load movie' in the 'main swf', the independent swfs have not finished loading yet, and the movie bounces back to the begining, which is not my intention. Am I using a wrong type or preloader? I'm actually using the preloader I got from Kirupa, the one which is load with percentage.Also, I originally created the flash in MAc, and the 'load movie' command links to, say...painting.swf. But when I transfer the files to PC, it automatically changes to painting, without the swf. extension. As a result, the link could not be read. I modified the url in the load movie command to 'painting' without the extension. I have yet to test on a mac, but I think it would not work.

I am basically having a problem with my site.I have one flash file, and from there are severallinks. Each new link when clicked opens up a new flashmovie using loadmovie in a target movie clip. I created preloaders for each of the individual flashfiles. However when testing for streaming, it does not work. My site isExample, from the main flash file, when I click onfilmography, the movie laods, but prelaoder doesn'twork. However, when I test my filmography movieindiviually, by running filmography.htm, the preloaderworks.

I'm not sure why I am so incompatible with preloaders. After so much struggling I got my first one to work, but now I can't get preloaders to work again with the site I'm currently working with. It just either goes straight to the main screen, or ignores the preloader and just loads while having a blank screen.
I also have a question, is a preloader like this
if (_framesloaded>=_totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
only for animations, and not web navigation purposes? I tried using this for my[URL].. that I'm working on, but it did not do anything. Could my problem be that I'm putting the loader in a separate scene? It seems it should work okay then, though, because on frame two I have it gotoAndPlay the next appropriate scene.
Bah. I don't know why this isn't working now. Even kirupa's show bytes/total bytes preloader isn't working.

Able to direct me in the right direction as to how to go about adding preloaders for images on a rotating menu.
I am not after any kind of complex animation loader, just simple text that says 'Image Loading'
I have a few thoughts which are;
1.create moveclip with the words 'loading Images' some how load this in the background of main holder that loads images in so that when image loads it loads over the text 'Image loading' technically not a loader just text in the background.
2.create moveclip with the words 'loading Images' that when image loads in the text is replaced by image that loaded in? [code]...

I've looked around and tried various examples that I've seen, but none of them seem to work with "simulate download".It doesn't seem like the swf does anything before it's completely loaded. It doesn't even display the background, just plain white.It also doesn't execute any code, so the event listeners I've seen used for preloaders don't work until the swf is completely loaded.Do I need to somehow designate a section of code to execute before the swf is fully loaded? How do I do that?

Here's the code:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.x = 322;
