The website I'm working on is a Flash swf hovering at about 2 megs, and although on a broadband connection, it still takes a few long seconds - Is there any actionscript that can tell my preloader to display my homepage immediatley after the homepage is loaded, while the rest of my site loads in the background?
stop();
//preloader
st = new Date();

I swear that this was working earlier but i must have changed something because now it isnt. I have a few clips that im trying to have load in the background without actually being visible upon initial load. To accomplish this i was going with something like this on the first frame of the main clip:
loadMovieNum("dl_illustration.swf",4);_level4._visible = false;
I SWEAR this same code was working just fine about 30 mins ago and now ive been playing with some other stuff and its not working anymore- the illustration clip just loads right over top of the main clip, basically ignoring my call for it to be invisible.
is at all possible to load a movie at a particular scene rather than it launching into the first scene automatically? Or is this impossible?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to find out if there is a way to get an animation to stream in the background and not reset or change when there is a frame jump or scene change. I just want it to become the permanent background.Kind of the way a sound can be set to loop and stream non-stop so long as you don't go back to the frame in which the sound started.
View 3 RepliesI have set up ma flash project to have various scenes. One of these scenes is a page whereby when a user clicks on a button he/she can change the background image on every scene in my project.On each scene i have made a layer called 'background' and drawn a black rectangle which is the default background. This has been converted to a graphic using F8.What i'd like to be able to do is when the user clicks on the button he/she can change this default background to 1 of 4 photo's i have in my library.i have tried the code:
on (release)
{
colorchange = new Color("/rectangle");

I am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.
I have a MovieClip that has a button inside of it with an animation, this button takes me to a determined labeled frame that is on Scene 2...and also I want it to load a movie there but I cant seem to do it right...heres my code in the button:
PHP Code:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code].....
I placed the empty MovieClip in the Scene 2 and is called "container"...the one im trying to load inside is "intentos.swf"
was wondering if anyone could assist me with some actionscript. I am working on a project similar to this (thehideout.org.uk/refuge/) and making the background image move around as if it the scene is a POV.

I have a slideshow, and I would like to have a loading scene right before it. on the last frame of the loading scene, i have:
ifFrameLoaded ("loading", 5); {gotoAndPlay("main", 450);}
the other scene is main. i only see white space at the begining, and not my loading text.

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to specify this logic on the timeline. For example, I want scene 1 to play until frame 20 and scene 2 to start at scene 21.

View 9 RepliesI created a 65 pages slider with buttons from 10 to 10. The pages are simple group items containing a coloured rectangle, a title and a "click to enter" button. Of course they are under a mask, as2 helped with the slide effect from one page to another and.... this is my problem. The button has the mouseover active (I can see the transition when I choose a page and put the mouse over the button but when I click it.... a big nothing. I know that buttons under a mask are tricky, and I need actions in root or something to play the scene on click.
View 5 RepliesI have tried using the following to no effect:
ifFrameLoaded ("Main", 80) {
gotoAndPlay("Main", 1);
}
CS4 says this has been replaced by flash.display.MovieClip.framesLoaded but this doesnt seem to work the same, i keep getting errors.
Basically I have scene called "Loading" and I want AS3 i this scene to wait until my scene called "Main" has loaded before proceeding to it. I have an animation in the Loading scene to show its loading.
I want to animate the percentage of a loading scene. I just want to move the dynamic text box and fade it as it gets closer to 100%

View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is to load a swf, and access a particular scene within that movie. But it seems to have problems getting to that scene (a scene named 'Title'). I have this code on the timeline, and the button has an instance name 'button3'.
button3.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("03_diagrams.swf", 1);
gotoAndPlay("Title", 1);
}
Does this code look okay?
In flash is there a way to move to the next scene only once an FLV finishes playing in the first scene?
View 3 RepliesI setup a movie as 5 different scenes. The first scene is the loading animation that sends the user to scene 2 when it's loaded, and then scenes 2-5 can be switched between with 4 buttons in each scene. These for buttons are on the root timeline and they work fine switching between scenes. But, I have a different button inside a mc on the root timeline that I want coded to load the next scene, but it won't work. I tried nextScene();, gotoAndStop("the_scene_name",1);, _root.nextScene();, and other combinations, all to no avail. But, if I put that same code in a button on the root timeline, works perfect. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's simple, but I couldn't find a solution in Help or the manual. Also, is it better to setup something like this as different scenes, or as separate movies?
View 1 Replieshow to code a simple load sequence scene. This is how I had it set up in AS2 -I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a 10 frame shape tween in Scene 1. On the 9th frame, I assigned actionscript that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded, and if it is, gotoAndPlay Scene 2, Frame 1. Then have action in frame 10 of Scene 1 that says to gotoAndPlay scene 1 frame 1 of the current scene. This way scene 1 loops until frame 40 of scene 2 is loaded, at that point, scene 2 frame 1 plays.
How could I set this up in AS3? Here is what I tried - I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a MC that is a simple shape tween that loops in the "Scene 1". I'm trying to assign codein "Scene 1" that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded. If it is, gotoAndplay Scene 2 frame 1. If frame 40 of Scene 2 is not loaded, continure to loop the MC unitil it is. Here is the code I've got for the MC in the "Scene 1"
[Code]....
In Scene 1, after pressing a button user goes to Scene 2. After coming back from that to Scene 1, All movie clips in other layers are null.
This is my code that goes to Scene 1:
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 1");WHY?
load a movie at a particular scene rather than it launching into the first scene automatically? Or is this impossible?
