Im copying a preloader script from MX into flash 8 and gettin this error
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Syntax error.
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
HERE'S THE SCRIPT IM USING
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;[code]...
This bit of code works perfectly well in a test file with a single button[code]...
... but when I copy it into the file I'm working on, which has no other actionscripts or buttons, just a lot of animation I get this compiler error[code]...
Preloading in AS3 Error by lotusguy on Fri Sep 19, 2008 8:58 pm .I took the "Preloading in ActionScript 3" tutorial file, substituted my swf name, ran it from my desktop and bingo it worked fine. Step two was to see if it worked on the web, and it didn't. I received Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed. So I did a search of this site to see if there was a solution, and came up with the aforementioned post. After reading it I modified the AS to
Code: Select allvar l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
[code]....
ran it from my desktop, it worked, posted it to the web, and the error message was gone, but the swf seemingly didn't run. If you were a visitor to my site, then you wouldn't know a swf existed on my home page.
I used the code below to make a preloader and it works fine when I try it locally, but gives me the following error when I try to use it in a website: "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found." The preloader is a swf that pulls in another swf after it loads. Also when I use the swf that the preloader is pulling in, it also works.

I am developing a photo gallery using the UILoader to load external (larger resolution) images after the thumbnail is clicked on. It appears everything is working when I test the movie, except I receive this error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
Again the loader shows, and the picture loads when it is done, I'm just not sure about that error message. The action script for clicking on the thumbnail is:
Code:
function onBlackClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pic1.jpg");
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].....
ERROR 1046: Type was not found or was not compile-time constant:textline.
I have nested my animation into a movie clip and have tried to use a pre-loader on it. The nested movie clip opening screen as a button on and the second screen as back and forward buttons. The movie clip works fine no problem until adding it to the pre-loader. The code for the pre-loader is (below) on frame 1 frame 2 to is tells it to stop and also were my nested movie clip is
function loadProgress(my_content:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (my_content.bytesLoaded*100)/my_content.bytesTotal);
myLoadText.text = percent + "%";
} function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
currentFrame + 1;
} loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
I'm trying to add a preloader to my flash movie so the user doesn't have to wait for additional frames to load while they are navigating. When I try to shift my current frames over by 2 frames to make room for the preloader I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at APIVisionDigitalRecall_fla::MainTimeline/frame3()[APIVisionDigitalRecall_fla.MainTimeline::frame3:20]
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at navBar()
Everything works fine before I shift the frames by 2, so I don't understand why I'm getting a complier error abut an object not existing. What to do to add a pre-loader to my existing movie without moving everything over by two frames?
I was planning on putting this code on frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
var kbtotal:Number=stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal/1024;
var kbloaded:Number=stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded/1024;
var percent:Number= Math.round(kbloaded/kbtotal*100)
loader.gotoAndStop(Math.floor((precent/100)*100));
loader.loadingStatus.text=Math.round(kbloaded) + " lb / " + Math.round(kbtotal) + "kb";
This code on frame 2:
ActionScript Code:
if (kbloaded == kbtotal){
gotoAndPlay("Main");
} else{
gotoAndPlay("Load");
}
I've been having a problem with my percentage preloaders today... The script comes directly from this tutorial... and I've used the same script in at least 3 other Flash movies, but this time the Flash movie doesn't run properly, and i get this error:

I don't get any compiler error reports.. and the movie runs fine when I test it in Flash, but I get the pop-up error when I try to open the HTML web page with the movie embedded. The Actionscript in frame 1 is:

I have two Flash files: pre-loader and application.
Pre-loader: (D:ProjectsFlashAppsddedd.fla) is doing basically this:
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/flash/dd.swf");
mLoader.load(mRequest);
}
Application file: (D:ProjectsFlashAppsdddd.fla) is the real application and among other things is doing this:
_loader.load(_request); //where _request = "assets/html/style.css".
When debugging the pre-loader, at this point I am getting an error which says:
SecurityError: Error #2148 File SWF http://localhost/flash/dd.swf cannot access local resource file:///D|/Projects/FlashApps/dd/assets/html/style.css.
The application must be loaded by the pre-loader, it won't start when called directly. But apparently, the security settings are preventing such duo from being possible to debug. Normally when it is on a remote server, it is working ok.
What I have done so far to resolve it:
Added crossdomain.xml to my local i:xampphtdocs folder:
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
[Code]....
Set File > Publish Settings -> Local Playback Security -> "Use local files only" in both files. It didn't work, so I set it to "Use network only" Also didn't work.
What else can be done to be able to debug these Flash files locally?
I have two flash files, the one Im editing and the original. I want to copy two perfect layers from the original and past them on the one im editing, but each time I copy, it only copies the image, cant copy the entire layer with the animation.

But that's not what I want. I don't want to manage a bunch of children when I know I only have one child but just want to change its content.
Is there a way to copy/assign a Loader directly? I tried assigning to 'content' but that's read-only. Basically I have an array of Loader objects that all get loaded with images. I then have a single Loader that's on the stage and I want to assign to it images (Loaders) from my array.
I have created a small flash application. There are swf files, folders with xml files and the base exe file.The application has been burned onto a CD and will be replicated. The client is concerned that someone can take the CD, copy the files to a harddrive and then duplicate the CD themselves, possibly selling it.How can a CD, with flash content be replicated and not allow files to be copied
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem which I I'm pretty sure (hope), there should be an easy answer to. I want to take frames out of a movie clip in a Flash file and paste them on the main timeline. The problem I am having is Flash is pasting them back on the stage in a different spot than where they were when I copied them. This is totally messing up my tweens! Is there a way I can get Flash to paste them in the exact position as they were in when copied?
View 2 RepliesIn Adobe Flash CS3, is there a way of copying a complex animation from one document to another, differently sized document and have it appear in the same relative position, i.e. bottom left of my stage?I created a growing flower for a 300x250px file, and I want to use it in a 728x90px file. It has many keyframes. I tried pasting in the frames, but it appears off stage. I need to move it upwards. Do I have to move the elements at each individual keyframe, or is there a way of moving it universally at one go?

How can i just simply easily copy and paste a symbol movie clip ect. and have it be completely independent from the original?

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to copy a movie clip from the library of one flash and paste it into the library of another. But when I do this, it always gives me, "One or more library items already exist in the document.
I have tried finding and renaming those items, renaming the existing movie clip, and even changing it into a graphic instead. Still it always replaces these certain movie clips in my main flash file.
I even tried the following: Creating a new movie clip in the new file. Then going into the movie clip of the other file I wish to copy over, and trying to copy its frames and put it into the new movie clip i created in the main file. Even then, it says I'm replacing library items!
I am having problems copying directories of movieclips from one flash file to another. They appear to be fine until I save it, then when they are reloaded they are missing a parent movie clip, and all of the children are blank.

If i click to any Read More link the text opened in a new window is still available for copying What should i do to to DISABLE text copying in a flash website fully ?
Is it possible to protect the broadcasted content from unauthorized copying users. In the demo version of FMS 3.5 for interactive broadcasting stream audio and video can be copied by means of such programs as Comtasia. This may not like the content holders. Perhaps there are some instruments of protection.

I have a preloader but I only see it for a split second when I preview my site. My .fla file is 125MB & the .swf is almost 8MB. I have changed some of the simulation settings but there is no difference in the speed of the preloader. My preloader is on the first scene and my site is on the second scene. I think the code below is correct. I have added a gotoAndPlay(2);, which means the preloader scene should advance to the website scene. Why is my progress bar only visible for 1 nano-second? I actually want to see something happening with the progress bar.

I have followed a tutorial for creating a preloader and it works perfectly - until I try to move the MovieClip to a mask layer. I'd like to use the mask layer to incrementally expose an underlying MovieClip, but when I change the progress bar layer to a mask layer, it fails. The following line produces a #1010 error:
ActionScript Code:
preloader.progBar.scaleX = _loadPercent;
progBar is the MovieClip in question. Preloader is in the root. As long as the layer is not a mask layer, it works - just not like I want it to. How does the code have to change to recognize the object in a mask layer?
i've put simple preloader on frame 1. since then i get an 1009 error message. I debugged the file and it seems like it is referring to 'franklin_button' but this is the button on the stage. i've checked the instance name thousand times and it is correct name.
frame 1(preloader script)
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PRO GRESS,checkLoadProgress);
function checkLoadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {

p.s. i also tried to seperate them on different scenes but this doesn't work either.
