ActionScript 2.0 :: Link Pre-Loader To XML File?
Feb 23, 2009
i made a preloader, but apparently, the preloader doesn't put the external files "which are refered to through the XML" into count.as if it only gets the bytes of the flash file, it even finishes before the images are loaded, any ideas whats going on?
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
total = getBytesTotal();
}
[code]....
what i want is that the pre-loader understands that there are external files to be loaded too, so get their bytes and after you finish, go to and play "start"

I am building a series of videos(MOV) that going to be played using Flash. So I have a TreeView component that gets populated from a well defined XML document that has all the video names as nodes. My use of this setup is to have the user select a link and the appropriate video comes up to play. I have a loader component also set up, but I want to link the TreeView's output (or user selection on TreeView) to the Loader, so that the corresponding video plays.
Can i call the video directly ? (Assuming its going to be a FLV4 file?). If I create the entire video in flash (create the product demo in flash) can i call the resulting swf ? Here's an update:

total = _root.getBytesTotal();

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();

I'm using the "load streaming mp3 file" behavior, as seen below.
Code:
on (release) {
//Load Streaming mp3 behavior
if(_global.Behaviors == null)_global.Behaviors = {};
if(_global.Behaviors.Sound == null)_global.Behaviors.Sound = {};
if(typeof this.createEmptyMovieClip == 'undefined'){
I need to add a loader of some form to it tho. My plan is to have an MC with 2 frames. One with the word "Loading" in it and the other blank. The idea being, if the track is still loading it goes to the loading frame, otherwise to the blank frame. I've already added
Code:
_parent.mp3Loader.gotoAndStop("on");
To the above, to make the loader active.
I was thinking of having something like the following, to turn the loader off.
Code:
if(tune1.loaded) {
_root.mp3Loader.gotoAndStop("off");
trace("song loaded");
}
but that doesn't work...

The problem here is that I have made a simple loader (by following an online tutorial). Its called loader.swf. Now this works fine for the first main swf. But I want this loader to be called in every time an external swf is loaded.This is how my website works, home.swf is loaded first, called from the complete frame of the loader. Now within home.swf there are three buttons, which load separate external swfs each.For example when you click on about button, it loads about.swf. Now I want to call the loader here, as the swf is heavy, but where do I insert the code and how do I link it to the loader??? I know I may be missing something very basic, but any help will be appreciated.

The SWF loads itself almost entirely before even displaying Frame 1 (the pre-loader). Said pre-loader exists in it's own scene; when this scene is exported on it's own, the file size is 1.6 megs (the full export of all scenes is 1.9 megs). There is VERY little content in the preloader, in fact, a blank first scene exported on it's own is ALSO 1.6 megs. There is, however, a lot of content throughout the rest of the file (music, graphics, font, all embedded at the request of a client).It looks sort of like it's trying to ensure that some arbitrary amount of the resources are present before the first frame loads.
I used to be deep into Flash way back in the CS3 days, but haven't touched it since; the result is I am fairly familiar with AS3 but CS5's new features (many of which seem to replace entirely code-oriented methods with point and click methods) often times make me scratch my head, so you'll have to forgive me if this is the sort of 'five times a week question' y'all are numb to by this point.but I'm still not entirely sure.I've already scraped every last little bit of that awful TLF text stuff from the project, and I've fiddled with the action script settings but haven't had any luck.I'm not exactly sure what code to post here, as little of it seems relevant (after all, the problem appears to be happening before anything I've written runs). Please, though, if there's anything I can do to make this more clear, I'm totally willing to oblige.

I'm making a loader.swf to load a menu.swf file. I'm done this dozens of times the same way and it has worked perfect. But this time...when I load my menu and trace it out, the loader keeps loading and reloading the menu.swf infinitley and I don't know why.
The only thing I've discovered is that my menu.swf file will load just fine IF I delete all of the actionscript from it. If there is even a comment in there the infinite loop starts again.

I have set up an xml thumbnail gallery using some of the great tuts on this site (I'm a designer so this dev stuff tends to get a little confusing). Basic setup is quite simple:
xml holds titles, thumb urls and details set up thumbs as a grid system, so they're loading in as columns, all of which is working great.
I have run into a bit of a brick wall though, and that is how to get the thumbs to sequentially load in, instead of random as they currently are.
Code:
...
function GeneratePortfolio(portfolio_xml) {
var portfolioTitle = portfolio_xml.childNodes[0].attributes.title;
var rootUrl = portfolio_xml.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.rooturl;

I am loading an external swf file using the following code:
//add close button
var reqButton:URLRequest = new URLRequest(btn_close);
var loader2:Loader = new Loader();
loader2.load(reqButton);
addChild(loader2);
[Code] .....
Once the loader loads my image, and I click on it, nothing is happening. Am I supposed to be adding the EventListener to the loader or something else? How can I detect the height and width of the swf file in the loader?

I'm very new to flash - I'm trying to use a pre-loader that loads an external SWF file. Its working except the percentage in the bar is actually reflecting how much of the entire page is loaded, not how much of just the flash banner is loaded. The result is that the percentage bar is still visible over the top of the flash banner when it begins to play and the percentage bar continues to load until the whole page is loaded.

I want my product button to click on it, to load an external sfw into a loader and the text of this external swf too. The text is loading good when i click the swf file on its own, but with the index page not. when i click the product button the loader is loading only the swf file of product but not the text on it. The text is coded to the product swf.This is the code of index Page which i want to load the product page:
stop();
productMenu_btn.onRelease = function(){
myLoader.contentPath = "contents/lingerie/lingerie_page.swf"
}
and this is the code of the product page which is loading on the loader :
stop();
myData = new LoadVars();

I am using the Loader object to load an image into my flash file. The problem is that, the image file is being copied over from a server to the local machine by some other software, and my flash file tries the load that image while it is still being copied over. The result is that the file is sometimes corrupted.Sometimes the whole image loads, sometimes only half of it, or just a few pixels.. it varies everytime.

I am preloading a .swf file using the Loader class (myLoader) and a ProgressBar (pb). When the progress is complete I would like to press the button (es_btn) to enter the site(make the externatl .swf visible). Currently, what it does is, the external file is loading and starts playing in the background before I press the "enter site" button, before I call addChild(myLoader);. How do I stop the external file from autoplay -ing and make it play only when I press the "enter site" button?
Here is the code:
Select allstop();
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
import fl.controls.ProgressBarMode;
es_btn.visible = false;
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("christianfm.swf");

I purchased a Flash template. I know I need to edit the .FLA file, but yikes. Layers and layers. How do I link the existing buttos in the FLA file to other URL's in the site--like "home", "contact us", etc. pages? I have a Lynda subscription, but trying to find a specific topic in those tutorials is a pain.
