ActionScript 2.0 :: First Preloader Frames Are Some Small Files With Transitions Only
Apr 28, 2003
my preloader starts at 55 percent. this is because the first frame (if i can trust the bandwidth-profiler) has a size of 32 kb. i think this is strange, because the b-profiler also tells me the film has a total size of 35 kb. after the first preloader frames are some small files with transitions only, and then there is the main frame, which has a size of 18 kb my preloaderframe only contains a small bar and a dynamic textfield, just like the tutorial says... i ve already searched the forums, i found that quite many people have the same problem, but i didnt find any solution... i do not load any swfs dynamically. the only thing i can imagine that could cause that problem is the embed font which i use for the dynamic textfield in the preloader. is that possible?

In this tutorial (Preloader and Transitions for Dynamic Files) there is an internal preloader that I wish to animate so it would paly a sequence before the new file loads. The sequence would then repeat itself until the new file does load.

I am working on a slideshow (sort of). The idea is that each frame in the root timeline works as a slide. Each slide inside each frame is a simple MC filled with images, texts, audio and animations and so on. Once this MC reaches its last frame, it should stop and trigger another MC used as a transition. And I've put inside this transition MC a code that should tell the root timeline to advance a single frame in order to show the next "slide".
So, on the timeline, I've put this code:
***
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(slide._currentframe == slide._totalframes){
[code]....
Well, needless to say it is not working. The whole swf just stops. And if I remove the stop() code of the Transitions MC at frame 2, the current slide will loop before the transition triggers the nextFrame command.

I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie

Basically what i have is a intro mc on frame 1... then frame 2 is my preloader. then frame 3 is my videoclip atm. What i want to happen is have the preloader to at least appear for a small interval. So intro movie plays, then preloader plays. for a desired interval by going into the preloader_mc mc for a smalla mount of time. As of right now it loads to fast and the preloader_mc just goes right into scene3. here is my preloader code
// Preloader Script
// ==================================================
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var bl = _root.getBytesLoaded();[code].........

I have a preloader.swf that loads the main "content" swf of my website. All is working alright, except once the preloader is done, the content swf doesn't start at frame one. Basically in the content swf I have some images and text that scroll onto the screen at frame one before the 'home' screen, but when preloader finishes it skips the animation and goes straight to the home screen. This isn't a big deal, but obviously it would be nice it people could see the animations at the start...
The script for the preloader is:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent .PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLET E, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;

The red is for loading external movie clips that I have setup to transition in and out while the blue is setup to just load external movie clips with no transitions into a different location. The blue works fine, but the red does not.First frame of main timeline:Currently when I have mainLoader here it will not work. If I take mainLoader out the movie will load but it will not preload.
_root.currMovie = "section1";
mainloader.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf", container);

I can't figure out why this wont work consistently. I have a few containers in a column that load small swf files on run time. My code which always works in the past, looks like this:
Code:
client1.loadMovie("interactive/rocksolid_cs.swf");
client2.loadMovie("interactive/malibuchronicle_cs.swf");
client3.loadMovie("interactive/spod_cs.swf");
client4.loadMovie("interactive/chicknecessities_cs.swf");
and so on.
The issue is that sometimes, this works perfectly. I load the page and the files load. Then, randomly other times, only parts of the external swfs load. All of the external swfs have static text on one layer, then a rollover movieclip on the others. The times when it doesn't work correctly, usually the text loads, but the movieclips don't. I don't understand why this isn't working, but I need it to 100% of the time.

how to do this and it works to a certain degree. i have the main choices which then lead to a submenu which is an external swf, then the buttons located in these submenus load other swf's as content. for one section i want to experiment with transitions. i cant get the outro portion to work. the swf loads the way it supposed to but when i load the next swf the other one simply disappears. theres 2 empty movieclips in which the submenu's and content that get load into. for the buttons its _root.whole.buttons and _root.whole.main for the content.

I know theres a tut on this site that shows you how to make page transitions with external files, but how can you do the same but internal. my site isnt that big and doesnt need exernal swfs so i was wondering how to make that same exact page transition, but internal.

I'm trying to build a small app that will iterate through an array of sound files to see if they are valid.I'm simulating corrupt sound files by taking .png's and changing the extension on them to .mp3 The idea is a sound will start playing and the timer will start. When the sound is done playing the next sound will start and the timer will reset and start counting down again. If a sound does not finish within 45 seconds the timer will complete, output the name of the file that did not finish, and then skip to the next file. For some reason though the timer does not reset when the sounds finish playing, it just keeps counting down from wherever it is.
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;

Using AS 3.0 and the action script project I was planning on writting a small file handeling utility to make processing files through AS better and easier. The problem is the API states that to call file you go
import flash.file
Well in flashbuilder going import flash. only gives me filter, and no file handeling imports....

I have a problem with buttons and transitions.I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following code:
on (release) {
if (_root.externaltwo._currentframe == 7) {
_root.externaltwo.gotoAndPlay(8);[code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "externalone";[code].....
Obviously a similar code would be placed on button two so the transitions could take place.I am uploading my file so you can see exactly what I am talking about. Also in this file will be a folder containg a version that works but without the buttons moving up and down which is the effect I wish to have

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

I've been reading a Flash book, and it tries to explain how you can use Action script to create a preloader that will play a movie clips frames based on the amount of bytes loaded. I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10);
function preloader() {
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()) {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
} myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(_framesloaded/_totalframes*(myMovieClip._totalframes)));
}
This is on the first frame of my movie. I've also have a stop action on the first frame of my movie clip. I've attached the FLA for dissection....ts?

I have a CS5 FLA file with AS 3.0 with the following code for the preloader:
var pct_load:int = Math.round(framesLoaded/totalFrames*100);
if (pct_load == 100) {
play();
[Code]....
The preloader is in the first four frames -- it's just the background photo, a graphic logo, and the loading numeral text.
Everything runs great the first time it's loaded; then if you refresh the page, the graphics in the first four preloader frames flash on the screen before the movie plays.

I am working on a site and was looking for a better transition between movies that were linked to the same blank_mc (my current method works fine, but I liked the smooth transition found in your tutorial). I looked at your tutorial for dynamic files and transitions. It works great. However, it only seems to work when I test the scene itself. When I test the whole movie it does not function.
I have three levels. The first level is the main movie with the main buttons. All of these buttons are linked to a blank_mc. One movie in particular has another blank_mc that the submenu buttons refer to. I used the tutorial for this movie. What I realized was, the _root command is conflicting with the _root command in the main movie. This is the actionscript used for the main buttons on level 0 of the site.
on (release) {
loadMovie("star_services.swf", _root.blank_mc);
}
In regards to the actionscript for the newly revised movie, I have followed the tutorial to the t. How can I avoid this? Is there another command I can use?I am a graphic designer who has broken into the webdesign realm. I taught myself html, dhtml, javascript and flash mx with the use of actionscript. I am still shaky when it comes to understanding the math in actionscript. I have learned much from your tutorials primarily due to the sections in which you explain the meaning of the code line by line. I have yet to find this on any other site.

I have been desperate to find how to do this. I have found some answers to this, but nothing I can make work. The main place I have found is[URL].. and it wants to have the html docs as a template for flash. This is just confusing the issue and would rather find an example and don't mind editing and adding things by hand. I know this is difficult, at least from what I read and I don't know what I am missing. I assume the java in the html is what is messing me up.I don't have mx, so I cannot do the local thing, and need a flash 4 or 5 way of doing this. I have found some small ways of java, but I need to instruct the second movie to go to a label depending on what button is pressed in the first movie.

I'm creating an interactive flash application that uses hundreds of individual renders from a 3d modelling app. The image file size is 800 x 600. Each sequence that i import to the stage is around 120 images and each gets put into a separate key frame. The problem is, often when I import batches of files into flash the program crashes and stops responding.The problem gets worse after each succesful import ie. after importing the first lot of files, its unlikely that the second lot of files will importInterestingly, I dont have this problem on my pc.

Recently I bought CS4 as I decided that I wanted to design and create a new website for hosting my music productions, I have used dreamweaver in the past so I am quite familiar with XML etc but I wanted to make something with a little more to it. After talking to quite a few people and reading into it all I found that this would be my best option. After thinking that it was all going to be quite nicely straight forward Im banging my head against a wall in trying to learn and understand Actionscript.
I have currently designed all of the pages, I have used a few tutorials on actionscript 3.0 and have the whole website is functioning, my pages, frames, labels and buttons are all functioning how they should on the timeline and there is around 14 pages..
The problem i've had for around 4 days now is getting all of my audio previewssnippets to work, i have around 20 of these and I need them to be spaced out on about 6 pages (frames) ; Each frame is a different release etc
In each frame, I have 8 buttons 4X play buttons next to each track and 4xStop next to that... play_btn, play_btn2, stop_btn2 and so on..
I've set it so that all I want to do is be able copy the code into the other frames and also the buttons (which are on a different layer) and then all I have to do is enter the filenames in the code below (Track1.mp3, Track2.mp3 etc)
So... it all works fine on my first frame of my release page.. The audio plays and stops for each track, no problems at all.
Now,, the problem happens when i copy the actionscript from my first release page(frame) to the next.. its about 25 duplicate functions, duplicate variables etc
Is there some kind of way I can put all of this into some kind of Class or Tag.. And this code only operates inside this frame and not in the next to cause the duplicate errors? I realise that I could Label every single variable, function and button differently covering all of the frames so that it dosn't cause the duplications to occur but, I am hoping there is some other way around this..
import flash.media.SoundMixer;
//PLAY TRACK 1
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("track1.mp3");
var sound:Sound = new Sound();

I would like to hear from experienced AS3 users: are there any kind of rules or 'good behavior' on where to place a code for files. Should one use *.as files instead of frames to place code? I mean, yes *.as file is pretty easy to track and modify. But there are a lot of stuff that could be done using frames.
