ok, looks like it's probably one of the most usual problem people experience, they're tons of posts about it, yet I haven't been able to find one with an answer... You make a preloader like in Kirupa's tutorial with something like:

When I add linkage to the music file I'm using I need to select 'export in first frame' in order for the play/mute button to work. But when I do this the preloader doesn't show up until about 80%. Is there a way around using export in first frame while still having usable play/mute buttons.
View 4 RepliesI'm having trouble figuring out how to get my audio to load without exporting it in the 1st frame. In other projects where I use components, in the linkages panel, I deselect 'export in first frame', and put an instance of the component in an assets frame. That way the preloader opens right away and the components loadup in the second frame (which just gets jumped over when the movie plays). I'm trying to do this with my linked audio but it won't work. When I deselect export in first frame, I just get no audio. In the assets frame I have the actionscript

I have a JavaScript Picture gallery. The arrows under the gallery make possible to move through all pictures of the gallery. When I have added to that page also a .SWF flash animation the gallery arrows stoped working properly in IE. But in other browsers like Mozilla, Google Chrome, Opera and so on it works! I have removed the .SWF and it is working in IE as well.

Why am I kept getting the Incompatibility report saying something about the Blend: Color Burn? It turns most my vector grahpics to bitmaps. How do I avoid this?
View 1 RepliesI know I can export a simple tweened animation using "Copy Motion as Actionscript 3.0" and passing the resultant XML to an Animator object. But what I'd like to do is export a frame-by-frame animation and use that in my code.
As for why I want to do this, I'm trying to simulate a post-it being ripped off of a white board. Doing it and getting it to look natural using just code is going to be difficult, so I was thinking of having a designer at my company do a frame-by-frame animation of it and then using that.
I made a preloader for a flash slideshow with different announcements in AS 3.0.When I export the movie to preview it everything works fine. The loading rectangle fills up and then you see the slideshow. The problem comes after I embed it in HTML. Instead of the Preloader to show all i get is a white rectangle the size of the SWF and then the slideshow begins. It's as if it was ignoring the preloader completely. I don't understand why it works when I export it but not on the actual site.
Heres my preloader script:
Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loadingInfo);
function loadingInfo(e:Event):void {

Pardon my most likely newbie mistakes.I imported a FLV file I created in After Effects into Flash CS4, using the wizard. I choose the correct file path and no skin.Then using the FLV playback components I made a custom play/pause button.When I test the movie it works beautifully.Not when I export (I have tried quicktime movie and SWF). I think I only get one frame (the first frame is empty, so not 100% sure).I have never worked with Flash, is there something I need to do in the timeline, like setting an in and out point or something?
View 8 Replieshave made preloaders before have had problems with delay, ultimately because you have used the 'attachMovie' method in your AS and extra weight has been added in to the mysterious '0th' frame.Using the 3 frame method ie ( 1st - preloader, 2nd- components, 3rd- application), here's what you do: Rather than having to rework your script and take out the attachMovie methods you can simply deselect 'export to first frame' on you're linked mc's. Now select the 2nd keyframe in the timeline and drag instances of these mc's onto the movie (off stage of course). Now, in the 3rd frame place the actionscript as you had it before (making sure you have placed stop actions). And there you have it! Now flash loads your linked mc's in the 2nd frame, and they can be preloaded along with the rest of your movie.
View 6 RepliesI searched the forum and only find AS3 solutions. Does anyone know a way to export audio for actionscript after frame 1? I unchecked the "Export on Frame 1", and what that did was to skip exporting my audio all together. "Export for Actionscript" is still checked, but I don't know how to tell it when, I guess, is the problem.
I saw one thread that said to put the audio on the timeline, so I tried it, and although the volume slider still to worked with that metthod, but the mute button, which uses the Sound.start() and Sound.stop() commands, stopped working.
I am making a game with movie clips that spawn, and I have a preloaders so I have to uncheck all of the export in first frames. But now they don't export at all. Any hints? I would like to make the movieclips export in frame 3.
View 15 RepliesSorry about the title, I'm not exactly sure how to explain this with a few words. I've looked through google searches and found that people find it easlier when exporting classes in frame 2 when using a preloader. I'm currently using the usual method of having frame 1 with the preloader, frame 2 with the asset holder and the bulk of the game, frame 3 has the stop(); action. This is the tutorial I followed to get a working preloader AS Gamer.
After many hours of searching I've only found mentions and revalations of people using export on frame 2 instead of the traditional asset holder, but no examples or tutorials. Does any know where I can find a tutorial with example code I reference to get a export on frame 2 preloader?
I am trying to capture a still frame from an (any) external swf file, by using my own flash movie as a proxy to load it and hand information regarding the Stage onto javascript. I want to keep it as wide compatible as possible, so I went with AS2 / Flash 8 for now.[code]...

View 3 Repliesat first, I thought I could manage this myself searching the forums about "preloader" but none of the solutions seem to work. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm using the FLVPlayer with an external file. What am I looking for?
1. Well, the preload code for frame 1 that makes sure the external F4V (movie.f4v in the same dir) is loaded 100% before it jumps to frame 2 where the movie should start playing...
2. If possible, a progress bar.

My animation is complete. Previewing it (.swf) works perfectly fine. Playing it in flash works perfectly fine.But once it has exported to .mov the frame rate temporarily drops in certain places (usually around tweens)...

View 3 RepliesMain timeline- first frame...preloader.second frame... mc; within that mc I am using the "export for action script" propery in the properties panel on another mc...the problem - the "export for action script" is over-riding my preloader.

I am just wondering if anyone knows how to make it so my preloader takes me to frame 2 of the main page rather than frame 1. I have added my code below. Basically I just want it to take me to frame 2 of main.swf (which is in a separate swf to 'main.swf'). Is there a simple way to do this?
[is there for example a way to insert a gotoAndPlay which deletes itself after its first use at the beginning of frame 1 in main.swf..

I have a flash file having multiple Scenes. The first one is the preloader.I have completely programmed the pre-loader and it is working.I have created a game on Scene 3 using a class and have also set linkage from many objects in the library to be used in the class.
When I simulate download and create the swf, the preloader(Which is not more than 200KB out of a total of 1MB for the file), completely loads after 80% of the whole file has loaded.I guess the problem is that the "export to first frame" is checked in the linkage for objects.
how do i export specific frames not all frame. ex: if flash has 1 to 200 frames. here i want to export 51 to 150 frames as a movie. if there is any command or plugin to export movie like this.
View 0 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to add a preloader to my source, but i have an issue everything i have written is loaded externally through actionscript on frame 2, but it still shows everything loading on frame 1.
Here is what the bandwidth meter shows... it is showing everything on frame 1.
I need the preloader to load on frame1, and its not working. Instead the preloader loads with the rest of the site, and dissapears right away.
