heres another one for ya, how do I make multiple preloaders for different sections of the site? Im using the ifFrameLoaded script, but it loads every frame because scene2 (with the content) is just 1 frame with many movie clips.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a website with different sections (home, portfolio... - each of them has a full-screen looped video as a background)I made a separated .swf for each section in order to reduce their size.I just need to know how can I connect these .swf in order to navigate from one section to any other in the website.What would be the easiest way to do so?Is there a way to do it using the available Actions/code snippets included in Flash CS5?
View 8 RepliesI'm not sure why I am so incompatible with preloaders. After so much struggling I got my first one to work, but now I can't get preloaders to work again with the site I'm currently working with. It just either goes straight to the main screen, or ignores the preloader and just loads while having a blank screen.
I also have a question, is a preloader like this
if (_framesloaded>=_totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
only for animations, and not web navigation purposes? I tried using this for my[URL].. that I'm working on, but it did not do anything. Could my problem be that I'm putting the loader in a separate scene? It seems it should work okay then, though, because on frame two I have it gotoAndPlay the next appropriate scene.
Bah. I don't know why this isn't working now. Even kirupa's show bytes/total bytes preloader isn't working.
I am working on my new portfolio, made entirely in AS3. I am well aware that it is quite graphic heavy, and the videos will slow down some of the other animations. What I can't seem to figure out is: why does it load fine initially, but once I click around to various sections previous sections seem to be slower and slower. When i refresh the site it runs quickly again (except in FF on a PC, thats another issue I'm working out). Is it simply just a memory issue? Aside from getting rid of videos/rasterized images, does anyone have any tricks as to how to get it to run smoother? Seems to me that if each section runs fine initially, but only run slow once different sections are loaded then perhaps there is a solution. [URL]

I have designed this site with few external swf. I was wondering how can I preload all the externals swf's file in the same preloader of my first frame and scene. I have this code :

I need to show multiple sections in single progress bar where each component is of different color.

View 3 RepliesI'm very newbie in Flash so I'm asking to have patience I'm trying to make my own slideshow WITHOUT buttons and WITHOUT preloaders. The idea is to preload all images from outside then to convert them to MovieClips and then using transitions between them run the slideshow.My question is: How to convert preloaded images to clips in order to avoid reloading images each time in every frame and make the slideshow without blinking? GIVE ME SOME ADVICE, PLEASE! you can download whole project without images (you can use yours instead to see how it work). This is slightly modifyed code of THIS tutorial that I'm using in my project:

I seem to be getting a funny problem whenever people click a bit too early on another link whilst a movieclip file is loadingthe prime example is here, you click to enter the site, then a .swf loads within a MC to give you the "homepage" content (in this case some rather pretty girls wearing some t-shirts) the problem comes when the user gets bored of waiting too long and decides to click else where, for example, the user clicks on events.This then begins loading the events.swf file into the loader_MC I have, and once loaded begins mass playing the file constantly ( warning, it does flash very quickly, so if that sort of thing set you off, dont click it =O!)This is what my preloader code looks like in the loading files (such as home.swf, events.swf, etc
ActionScript Code:
mycallback = setInterval(preloader, 10);
//function to be called to test for download

I'm aware there are tutorials online that cover how to make game menus and preloaders for AS3 flash games, but I've found that books are more in-depth for certain topics. Are there books with sections that cover the process of making a preloader and menus for an AS3 flash game?My ultimate goal is to implement a preloader AND game menus without referring to the timeline.
View 1 RepliesI`m making a preloader and everything seems to go ok, except that i want to show how much percent of the movie`s been loaded (basing on the Bytes not the frames), but i havent find the way to do it
Note; i made 200 layers, each two has a number from 0 to 1oo,and the actions to check and if not yet go back and check again. An if statement that goes like this
loadpercent = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100;
if (loadpercent != 1) {
gotoAndPlay(2); //on this frame is an action to go back and check//

View 3 RepliesFirst-time poster, I've done mostly basic animation work in Flash (for banner ads), but now I'm on to my first full-Flash web site. Quite a learning experience it has been. The project started fairly simple - navigation bar that jumps to various frames for different sections.
Then the site owner proposed doing a "full frame" layout (elements fill the browser window and resize as needed). I figured out how to do this on a dummy site, but I'm having trouble making it work on the production site. I keep generating compiler errors because certain instances only exist in a particular frame (due to there being different sections/pages).
I'm hoping someone can provide some conceptual guidance on how to do this. I know I can scrap together something that will be acceptable, but I'd like to get some opinions on what is best practice, especially as I will probably end up doing similar stuff in the future.
Things I've tried/considered:
- unique stage resize listeners on each keyframe
- all elements in a single frame with lots of confusing .visible switching
The aim is to have quick loading times, how is this done? i've looked around and havent found any good tutorials. Obviously the site is all flash, but want the menu to be always there while content for each page is in a separate swf file...

View 1 RepliesI'm having a lot of trouble with a website a friend asked me to make her.For the longest time, I couldn't figure out how to make the site resize according to the browser. (Any help with how to have the background/stage expand while keeping the movieclip containing the content centered and the same size would be a great bonus.)Now, with the code I found after weeks of searching, I'm recieving error 1046. What is this, and how do I fix it? Or, how do I implement the changes to resize background/keep movieclip constant?

View 7 Repliesim trying to make a navigation bar for my flash site. The idea is that all the content is displayed in small vertical lines, like this - and when you scroll over a line it opens out to a thumbnail. At the same time the other lines move outwards to accommodate the space taken up by the thumbnail. I wanted only the line your scrolling over to show but its kinda similar to the mac osx dock. Ive tried using examples of mac docks and none seem to do what i want them too.

View 9 Repliesi want to make a new portfolio site in flash... i was thinking on using as much server-side scripting as possible, to make in easier to update and add some features like flash guestbook/mail form and some other stuff... I was wondering... is it possible using php and mysql to add content to the portfolio without modifying the flash itself? Is there a tutorial regarding this? WHat i want, exactly is to be able to add photos, sites, prints and other stuff to my portfolio like i would add a post to this forum... the title being the title, the message being the description of the project and the pic i can attach being the photo itself..

View 1 RepliesI'm designing a site that has 4 parts (for the sake of explanation)Part 1 is the menu which will be it's own .swf, which I would like to have align to the top center of the browser even if you resize the browser. Part 2 is the content which I'd like to align to the center of the page, even when you resize the browser. This is also an .swf which corresponds with the menu.swf Part 3 and 4 don't have to be .swf's, but are just graphics in the top right corner and the other in the bottom left that stay in the corner even when the browser is resized.
View 1 RepliesI have a client that wants a site that functions just like Dane Cooks' site (www.danecook.com).
I'm not sure how to script it, but I've started by building movie clip objects of each page (homeContainer, bioContainer, mediaContainer, and calendarContainer). Each page is comprised of a button (verticle bar, like on Cooks' site) and then the background image (i'll load the actual content from another SWF file).
