I am trying to build a preloader that loads multiple external swf files with ONE big preloader, however I need a script that somehow gets the total bytes of all the external files. I just need something that checks it and returns a value that i can use later.
View 12 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

it is possible to open a gz or other format archive, which contains multiple files with flash and then process the files.i guess it should be possible with byte-array.i managed to open a gzipped xml file this way.however i am a little stumped on how to determine which file is what in the opened and decompressed archive.

View 1 RepliesI have multiple datagrids with about 10-15 columns total. I have a numeric sortCompareFunction for each column. At the moment, I have a separate function for each sort compare I do....each does the sorting numerically. I'm guessing I could condense functions sort1, sort2, sort3, etc into 1 function but I can't figure out how:
private function sort1(obj1:Object, obj2:Object):int{
var value1:Number=(obj1.zip==''||obj1.zip==null)?null:new Number(obj1.zip);
var value2:Number=(obj2.zip==''||obj2.zip==null)?null:new Number(obj2.zip);[code]...............

View 1 RepliesI have two flash files that I would like to play back to back in the same location on my site. I would like one to play, and then when it's done, I want the other to play in its location.
I googled around and read up on the loadmovie variable, which I thought that is what I needed, but it isn't working.
To start out, what I did was create a new flash file, then I inserted an image into the timeline on its own layer, converted it to a movie clip (named pic_mc), did a fadeout effect on that image, then I created a new layer, and on the frame directly after the image, I put the following:
Code:
loadMovie("/images/preferred-reseller-hosting-0001.swf", "pic_mc")
I then ran a test (ctrl+enter) and all I see is the fade out image, and not the other flash movie. I even uploaded the .swf to my site and tested it there in a real world situation, and it didn't work. It just fades the image out and restarts the movie.
What is the best approach in AS3 when loading multiple XML files. I have 3 XML files I need to load. Should make separate XML loaders and functions for each XML file?
View 1 RepliesI want to have a TV screen and hundreds of (small) flash animations load up in the 'TV'. I'm assuming I'm going to have to use Actionscript, so I'm looking into that right now. However, what would be the best way to organise this? Each "TV" will have a different set of "Channels". Do I create each 'channel' and save them as seperate SWF files, or is it possible to have them all in one main file. I can then flick through each 'channel', which essentially unloads the current animation and loads the next one
View 2 Repliesi'm making a simple portfolio site, and bringing in a series of jpeg files using a 'for' loop and the Loader class. once all the files are loaded in, i'd like to just be able to add, remove, tween, etc... the items from the stage as need-be by using instance names, such as movie clips or Sprites. but for some reason, i cannot seem to figure out how to have each image, as its loaded in, be separately accessable to me after the loop has completed.
View 10 RepliesI have a series of animations of graphs etc in different flash files. Tried to put everything on the one timeline but was getting way too confusing so thought I would put each part in a separate flash file.
What I want to do is, once one file has come to an end load the next one up to play and so on. This is all part of a presentation so the user will click the keyboard to progress to the next file.
I'm using Flash CS4 on a Mac with Action Script 3.0.
I'm writing a small game app in Flash, and I'm wondering what the benefits of having one giant SWF loading everything vs multiple webpages and multiple SWF's.

View 2 RepliesI have 2 FLA files, a "menu.fla" and "game.fla"
In my "menu.fla" I create an object of my class:
var gameEngine:Engine = new Engine();
I click on a button in "menu.swf" to load my "game.swf" into the window...
I would like to know how can I use the "gameEngine" object in my "game.swf"?
Also, I have to code that runs on a "left-arrow" key-press in "menu.fla", but I also have some code running on a "left-arrow" key-press in "game.fla".
Once "game.swf" is loaded, and I press the "left-arrow" both the code from "menu.swf" and "game.swf" executes.. I only want the game.fla's "left-arrow" code to execute?
I also noticed that "game.swf" is basically layered over "menu.swf". Is there a more efficient way to load .swf files?
I'm still working on this project and it got literally huge... at least huge enough to consume all of my 3 GB RAM memory and crash my Adobe Flash CS4. Anyway, I decided to put the site on several swf's but the problem is that I've never done that before so I have no idea how to navigate between them.
Basically I have a main swf file, inside it there's an image (let's say its instance name is "projects_btn") that should take me to "Projects.swf", and I want to click on an "x" sign (its instance name is "xSign_btn") inside Projects.swf that would take me back to the main swf file "Bnaider2.swf".

I know how to make such preloader for loading one file after another. But I need preloader that will be able to preloade many files/movies at the same time and show percentage of each one. Lets talk about 3 movies. How to do that? I remember that I have seen such thing somewhere on the net before.
View 7 RepliesI know how to do this for one XML file, but I'm interested in preloading multiple XML files (My data + config settings).
I thought of 2 ways, but I don't think they're very nice programming:
1. Preload the first XML and do another XML.load within the XML.onload. But that way, you get a lot of nested functions if you want to preload more than 2 files.
2. Preload both the XML files at the same time, and use a counter to check if all the XML.onload are executed.

View 4 Repliesmy site pretty much work like a slide show. the navigation (6 buttons) takes you from one place to another, moving the content back and forward. The problem with this, is that pretty much all content have to be loaded from start, sometimes when the page loads slow or you are on a bad connection, you get transported to a blank page, since that swf haven't been loaded yet.I'll give you my structure also.[code]If i could combine these two scripts, i think i could get the solution i'm looking for.
View 4 Replies'm having trouble getting more than 1 swf to recieve a message from another swf file using localConnection() I have 2 instances of the same swf file loaded into different divs under different div ID's on a web page. I was then trying to get a different swf file, using localConnection to send a true/false command (determined via button rollover) to the other 2 swf instances, which would then simultaneously react to the message sent.However, at the moment, the first instance of the swf to be loaded into the web page is the only one that reacts the localConnection message being sent.
View 2 Repliesim making a little flash game and im wondering if this is possible.. I want to (just because) create one file which contains all the data that i want to load into my flash movie.
say i place all the files/sounds/external swf's in one folder and sort them how i like.. Then i zip that folder and place it on my webbserver.
is it now possible to load in that zip file and retrieve the contents of it using only flash?
it offcourse does not have to be zip format.. i just want that general concept.
var myObjArray = new Array;
myXML = new XML();
myXML.load("test.xml");
