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",

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.
View 0 RepliesI am trying to create a dynamic image showcase for my homepage, which consists of a series of images fading in and out.I have created a flash file, with movie clip (empty) with an instance called "imageLoader"Then using some available AS I have called in the image (with a preloader function.) see below, the script has been pased on scene 1, frame 1.
startLoading("picture1.jpg");
function startLoading(whichImage) {
loadMovie(whichImage, "imageLoader");

I've got myself a Flash site, with a main movie, a tumbnail gallery, and a set of image clips.
The gallery loads into the main movie, and so do the images, once the thumbnails are pressed.
I'm trying to put preloaders on all these files, but everytime I do, something goes wrong and the files stop from being loaded into the main clip.
If anyone's interested, here is one of my image files, on which I am trying to put a preoader.

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

I'm trying to create the dynamic xml main menu with the sublinks generated by xml. It's seemes to be ok with the menu. But there's the only thing that makes me stuck - I can't get a glue of how to add the tween to the submenue's text on mouse over? I'd like it to change the font size easily, not instantly like it is now.
Here's the code:
import flash.text.*;
import flash.media.*;
import flash.display.*; // (Sprite, Graphics, Shape)
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;

When I want to ask for a small fee for my app, I'm not allowed to use TweenLite. So I started thinking I could probably replace the tweens with Flash's built-in Tweens. BUT I'm also using rotationY. Flash doesn't support this as far as I know. Are there Tween engines out there with a copyleft?
View 6 RepliesI'm working on a slide show which includes 3 sections that fade in and out automatically as well as can be navigated via buttons.Everything is working fine until I include a 3d tween animation of a hanging sign.it doesn't have any action script - just a 3d tween where the sign swings however once I include it in the slide show, the whole thing goes crazy:The fade in and out of tweens don't work.sometimes the slide show skips and everything start moving very fast as if the timeline was fast forwarded... can someone please helpe me and point me in the right direction of where to even start trouble shooting it? The problem is that it acts as if there was some kind of script added however there's no action script included in the hanging sign.

View 1 RepliesI was wondering how are circular preloaders done? Not just a preloader with a circular animation but actually a circle that grows with the progress.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI'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]
View 5 RepliesWhen 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??
View 7 RepliesAll 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.
View 1 Repliescan some one confirm if there are some issues when you export library assets and duplicate movieclips, when trying to have a getBytesLoaded preloader?
View 5 RepliesI 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.
View 5 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI'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.
Look at this site: www.marcelpabst.se How do they attach the preloaders on the mouse?

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]...

View 1 RepliesI'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?

I have a preloader that i found on the net which i am using to load my main .swf. Inside the main .swf I am loading several external .swf's and I wanted to use the same preloader to load them in.. however I am having a bit of trouble doing so.. here is the code that is attached to the preloader I am using..
Code:
onClipEvent (load) { total = _root.getBytesTotal();}onClipEvent (enterFrame) { loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded(); percent = int(loaded/total*100); text = " "+percent+"%"; gotoAndStop(percent); if (loaded == total) { _root.gotoAndPlay(2); }}
When i use this preloader inside an external .swf which I am pulling into my main movie it resets the whole movie back to the begining.. i guess because of the referals to _root in the code...how I should modify this code for the preloaders in my external .swf's so I can preload and then play my exyternal .swf's in my main movie.
I have designed this site with few external swf. I was wondering how can I preload all the externals swf's file in the same preloader of my first frame and scene. I have this code :
onClipEvent (load)
{
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
