ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Get Preloaders To Work Again With The Site?
Nov 13, 2002
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.

heres another one for ya, how do I make multiple preloaders for different sections of the site? Im using the ifFrameLoaded script, but it loads every frame because scene2 (with the content) is just 1 frame with many movie clips.

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'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?

Reason is the XML file has variables/text that need to be used for other preloaders to work off.If at all possible, it would be great if the similar method I have used to preload my MCs (external images) could be used that would be fantastic! So I could have one bar load to 100% after the other.

the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.

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

I am working with Flash MX Professional 2004 on a mac running Tiger. I am near to finishing a fully flash based website.I am fairly new to Flash so experiencing a wee problem with my Preloader. The preloader is an animation in a movieclip that I have placed at the start of each scene that contains only one of my portfolio photos which once downloaded fades in and fades out. The Preloader tested in an isolated test scene on its own works fine, it is placed in frame 1 with the following actionscript 2 and a stop action placed in an actions layer. The downloading photo fade in starts in frame 2. When the user closes the photo it unloads it from the level it is in ready for the user to choose another photo which will go in to the same level.
Yet when the same scene is played back on its own level within the main website FLA it does work as an animation. Rather it stalls, blank to start with then at 50% download it goes straight to the 100% loaded part of the Preloader animation and stays like that until the photo has fully downloaded. It does this at all bandwidth tests and also does this when tested live once uploaded to server. It should animate smoothly up until the photo downloads. Very frustrating problem. I notice that the first frame of the scene has an unusually large size for some reason as the preloader is only 10kb in reality yet shows as 60kb, may be there is something going on here or perhaps it just needs the script changing slightly?[code]

In firefox and chrome on my macbook the video plays full screen in the background.However, my client is complaining about it not working at all on windows computers. While I thought that most browser compatibility issues were mostly browser based and not OS based, apparently the same site does not work in firefox and chrome on pc's.I'm not 100% sure, but it might be some sort of a z-index problem? I heard that the video would show up, but none of the content would.

I have insert jPlayer [URL] into my site [URL] and I've got a lot of feedback that it doesn't work. I suppose that it's because of old version of flash-plugin, but no one browser show block whith class .jp-no-solution. I've checked all browsers at home and at work - everywhere it works. But there are too many feedbacks that jplayer doesn't play music.

thought I would start to make my new site work with netscape7.
FSCommand - works fine but cant get the following to work
window.open to call a popup or SetVariable - to return a value to flash.
Now if this really is a problem - why are flash developers still using netscape when it is so full of bugs..
I donloaded it 3 days ago and it didnt even have the most uptodate player..
I new there was a reason I like IE. everything works the way it is supposed to.
Anyway any AS Developers have an answere please help so I can make my new site cross browser compatible.

My current HTML4 transitional website has several flash videos. How could I make them play in Apple devices with minimal changes? I've seen numerous threads but I've got confused. Some possible ways suggested in these threads:Identify device from request and serve another format video. Which format should be served here? I need to maintain all videos in 2 format? H.264 encoding was suggested here.HTML 5 options.

I am building a flash intro page, but when I publish the file on my computer and even run for errors, everything works and comes clean... But when I load it onto the server, the ENTER button, no longer works...
If someone could check the actionscript for the button... I checked and double checked my code, and it seems to be right

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]
