View 3 RepliesI am having troubles. I have 4 dynamic text fields. I need to populate them by picking a sentence from about 10 sentences. Each text box would need a different sentence which would "scramble" on load. How do I do it? Use an array?
View 4 RepliesI have an array that is structured like so.

Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?
how to make text acting as a preloader so that its color changes as preloader percentage. i dont mean how to apply the math, i mean how to mask it or whatever action to achieve that effect?
like for example imagine the red is constantly growing to the right letter by letter (actually pixel by pixel:
I just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.

i have a one simple swf preloader on my site. i'm showing my short fractal animation. but swf size/quality is not good and i want convert my swf preloader to flv preloader. but i'm not expert on action script. here is my old preloder script. i would like if anybody change the codes for flv. i will gift 1 year 3dfiction membership.

I'm wrapping up a small corporate website, but I left the preloader to do until the very end, so instead of changing any layout of my View, I just moved everything to frame 2, and put the preloader on frame 1. I'm using some of the code here: http:[url].... which seems pretty ace.
The problem I'm having though is that CS5's built in preloader is going and loading the whole swf, then it runs my preloader (on frame 1) which causes it to move strait to frame two instantly (I changed it so now it at least plays through the animation then moves on, but it's still not loading anything during that screen).that is causing flash to load the entire swf before even playing my preloader on frame 1. I don't remember having this problem in CS4.
I know it's possible i saw it on several websites does some one know how i can use a static text in preloader counting to 100%? For an example look at ILOVETECHNO.BE The preloader a heart use a static text i think it cannot be a dynamic text because the font is not a normal average one
View 1 RepliesI have a swf and an flv file for the same animation. Currently the swf file is what is being used on the website. The swf doesn't have a prelaoder though, and as a result it is choppy when it plays. I don't have the fla file so I can't edit it. Is there a way to use the flv file and create a preloader for it so that it will eventually play smoothly?
View 5 RepliesI am really stuck with a loadmovie action that I cannot find the solution to. I have a website that I had to split up as the loading time was too long. I have used a loadMovie function and it loads the external movie but the problem is that the external movie requiring a little bit of time to load I want a preloader to come first.
I have attached screenshots of this (wssmain liks to the arch_mc1) . The problem is that the movie loads but the preloader doesn't play. Anybody has any ideas why?
The first screenshot shows the wssmain whereas the second (preloader2) shows the arch_mc1. If the fla files are required I will make them available for download.

We have some problem with the speed of our website. That's why we want to start a preloader when those pages will be opened by our visitors. Example of page were we want the preloader[url]...it's the first 'round' preloader and the class code is under the preview. We want to start this preloader when the file mobiledescription.php will be opened.
This is my first experience with flash. So how can i start this preloader on those pages, because i have no idea right now?
I have problems with creating a preloader in AS3. I have tried several tutorials but the problem remains... the preloader starts counting at 50% and is only shown after a few sec. I have removed all export in 1 frame from my instances.I have no sound. I would prefer not to load my main.swf into another swf, if there is another solution.
View 3 Replieshy this very simple preloader is not counting? It sits still on 1%, thats it, then eventually the content of the next scene fills the screen.(I use to import a number of heavy images to Scene 2 to slow the loading process down.)
View 2 RepliesI have created a video in After Effects that I exported to an FLV movie. I would like to use it as an intro for my website but I would like to have a preloader for it... I don't need anything complicated, a 'youtube style' little circle thing would be totally fine.
Now I tried an Action-Script-two-frame preloader. It works but when my video finally plays, the sound is not synchronized with the images; which is kind of annoying as I used visual effects that need to be synchronized with the music and sound effects. Would anyone would have some simple AS that I could use for that.
I've started to use the embed metadata tags in my flash CS4 IDE based projects. I've hit a stumbling block though - how do you create a preloader if you use embed. I've googled for it and found flex based solutions but they do not seem to work from CS4 IDE based projects

View 3 Repliesi want to make a sharp looking graphical preloader animation in After Effects... however, I just can't get the filesize of the animation small enough to load right away.Currently, im using a movie clip with 100 frames which is the length of the animation... The code is just advancing the movieclip timeline to match that of what % loaded.Problem is, the preloader is too big that it too, needs to be preloaded first. It only shows up when the %loaded is around 45%. I tried cutting the filesize drastically on the flv - I got it down to 24kb. But it seems to still be too much.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to setup a Flash preloader onto a website which eventually load an external HTML link.
I downloaded one preloader which came with its FLA file. It had two frames, so when the preloader reaches 100% it loads the 2nd frame which states "click here to replay".
What I wanted was only Frame 1 which after 100% takes the user to an external html link. So I took the Frame 2 out and entered a getURL at the end of the code.
Now when I test the FLA it runs well over 100%, sometimes it loads the HTML page after 150% and sometimes 200% and sometimes at 100%. I have no idea what I did which is making it going over 100%.
Here is the code in ACTION LAYER FRAME 1 (Action Script)
Code:
stop();
Here is the code in Sprite8 (movie clip)
Code:
onClipEvent (load)
{
total = 100;
base = 1;
[Code]....
The _root.gotoAndPlay(2); was enabled when I opened the FLA however I made it as a comment and instead put my getURL there.
