ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Preloader W/ Looping Intro Sound?
Mar 27, 2005
I am still a NooB to Flash, but did finally get to build a successful preloader (ahem). Now that I have that built, I was wondering if it is possible to loop a sound within the preloader 'scene'. This is what I have built for final production:cene 1: Diesel Startup SoundScene 2: Preloader movie, while main movie loads (w/ loopable diesel engine sound?)Scene 3: Sounds stop, plays 10 sec movie, then 'goes to url'Can anyone point me in a direction to see a preloader w/ looped sound, or a project that shows how to do this? Or, even better, show me how the code should look? I'm getting lost in code!

I got a loop that I'm loading into Flash with the Sound object. The sound loads good and it starts playing but when it loops back to the beginning there's some silence and then it loops again. The sound loops fine in a sound editing program, the only problem is that Flash leaves a gap when its going to start again. How to make a sound loop seamlessly?
This is my code: loadMusic = function() { loop = new Sound(); loop.loadSound("lomtrack.mp3", false); } loadMusic(); playMusic = function() { loop.start(0, 100); } playmusic();
If I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?
I am having difficulty figuring out how to make a background soundtrack play continuously while my actual timeline will loop before the audio file is finished.
The way I have it set up now, every time the playhead loops back onto frame1, the audio track begins playing on top of the last one, making it utter cacophony. Even after a few seconds it becomes utter madness as 3 versions of the same song are playing simultaneously.
Have used the preloader at [URL] and it seems to work fine however after the last frame of the movie it appears to flick (quickly) back to the preloader info, note I want the movie to loop continually. Is there a way I can add something that will make the movie loop direct to frame two and miss the preloader?
I am streaming an FLV as an intro video for a website. This intro video contains two HTML buttons (login + enter) overlayed using a transparent DIV. The client has specifically asked for the video to loop if the user clicks on "login" as they will need additional time to enter their details. However, if the user doesn't click on anything then they want the site to automatically carry on to the homepage. My question is: How do I get the HTML to communicate these conditions to my FLV player that is streaming the intro video? This is AS3.0.
I am working on a Flash site with background music whose file takes up about 80% of the loading process. The preloader is on the maintimeline.
I've set assets to load on the 2nd frame, and unchecked the "load on 1st frame" box in the music files library properties. Then I get the following message[code]...
I've created a preloader.swf that (when loaded) loads an external swf. I would also like to add a skip intro btn, but when I do, the preloader seems to loop over and over (blinking - I know, high tech). This is the preloader code. I have it in the first frame of the preloader.swf:

I have a full flash website which is broken down into:
- Main movie which contains navigation and interface components
- Several content movies which are loaded into the main movie on demand
- An intro movie which is around 3MB in size; its a full CG movie.
At the moment the main movie preloads and then the intro movie preloads afterwards in a sequence; like so:
Main Movie > Intro Movie > Content Loads
There is a skip intro option which will skip the intro movie step and jump right to the content load once the main movie has loaded.
My client wants me to do something which is proving very difficult and I am starting to wonder if its even possible as searches on the net have given results which don't really work properly.
Here is what I need to do:
When the main movie is requested, its preloader appears which it has a load bar and a "skip intro" button. The difference being, this preloader will be loading the main movie AND the preloader; which the load bar representing both movies load progress.
To complicate matters, if the skip intro button is pressed, the preloader needs to drop the intro movie from the equation and just account for the main movie & thus skip the intro; straight to the content.
The way I have tried to do it is to have a preloader code in the intro which sends the total size and bytesloaded back to the main movie which deals with those values, adding it onto its own size. This is proving cumbersome and although appeared to be working, isn't working propery.
I have utilized the Tween/AS Preloader from this site and it works great! The problem is that when I test it online it keeps playing the intro and outro animation even if the movie is loaded into the browsers cache. It doesn't show the progress bar or the percentage (which is good) because it is already loaded, but it keeps showing the intro and outro animations (which is annoying). How would I keep the preloader from doing this?
I have a preloader that works fine when I test i with flash. I publish it and then go to View and Simulate Download. Everything works fine.
But when I upload it to my server it works fine util I hit the reload button, all it does is do the short intro animation to display the preloader and just sits there.
I have attatched the preloader class wich is pretty straight forward.
I'm new to actionscript, and don't understand the basics of the code's structure, but I've looked around a bit on here, and unless I'm missing it, I can't find how to stop a sound on the timeline. I'm using CS5, and the flash file is version 10 with AS 3.0.My website has an intro video that lasts for 16 sec with sound for all 16 seconds. I have a link to skip the intro, but when i click the link, and the time line advances to the frame that i've specified after the intro, the sound continues to play until all 16 seconds are finished.I've seen how to stop all sounds with the SoundMixer, but after the intro, I have another 2 second sound that plays as the buttons for my main links come flying into the stage. So I dont want to turn that sound off as well.here is to target the intro sound file (which i've placed in a movie clip) in the SoundMixer volume variable, but I don't know how to code that.
I decompiled a good working .swf file to .fla file to edit some text in it, but the decompiled .fla when exported creates a squeak sound at the beginning of the flash intro. I am not able to remove it. Is there any way of getting rid of that squeak? Is there some error with the decompiling software itself (I am using SoThink SWF Decompiler v5), because the exported file creates a squeak even when nothing is edited! but the original flash intro swf file works good.
I have an external SWF file and when I click on a "skip intro" button, right now I have a StopAllSounds(); on an onclick, so it stops the sound of the external swf, is there a way to fade out the sound instead on an onclick of an embeded sound on an external swf?
i've imported a flv video file to Flash for the intro and i create skip button to go next frame..but when i press skip..it stop at next frame but the sound of intro still playing.
I made a basic slideshow it's not interactive it just loops, each time it loops the preloader loops with it so you see it each time. How would I get rid of that preloader looping?
So I have a looping SWF file that I uploaded on my website. It played perfectly until I decided to add a preloader.
I set up the Flash file with 2 Scenes, "Preloader" and "Scene 1" .The Preloader scene will play just fine. After the preloader plays, Scene 1 then begins to play as it should. However, once the animation ends, instead of looping like it did before, it just stops on the first frame.
How can I get my SWF to play the Preloader, and then continue looping the main animation (Scene 1)?
Here is my AS:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent; function update(e:ProgressEvent):void { var percent:Number = Math.floor( (e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal );
My latest Flash project is almost finished apart from one small but annoying thing. The first frame containing the preloader and no images keeps playing on loop with the rest of the movie, I just want the rest to loop and the preloader to disappear for good when it's finished doing it's preloader thing! I'm guessing there's some actionscript I have to put somewhere to stop the first frame playing on loop, I'm just not sure what or where. Here is the test page with the flash as header: [URL].

MovieClip Preloader keeps looping movieI made a MovieClip preloader and everything workes fine.The problem is the movie that I am loading keeps looping.Is there any way to stop this from looping?I used Flash CS5, AS2. Here is the code that I am using:
bar._visible = false; border._visible = false; this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100"); my_mc = new MovieClipLoader(); preload = new Object(); my_mc.addListener(preload);[code].............
I followed the MovieClip Preloader tutorial and everything worked fine. The problem is the movie that I am loading keeps looping. Is there any way to stop this from looping? I used Flash CS5, AS2.Here is the code that I am using:
I have a Flash file with several sound fx. one layer has the sound of an airplane engine. Another layer has multiple instances of a camera clicking sound. Problem is that even though I have these sounds set to "repeat 0"... they keep looping! I even placed a stop(); but they still repeat.
im trying to make this intro and ive searched a bunch of tutorials, but i cant seem to find what im looking for..maybe im not searching the correct term, this is what im trying to do... i have a map and i want the dashes to appear one after another in sequential order so it shows movement.
