ActionScript 2.0 :: Modify This Code For The Preloaders In My External .swf's ?
Sep 12, 2005
I have a preloader that i found on the net which i am using to load my main .swf. Inside the main .swf I am loading several external .swf's and I wanted to use the same preloader to load them in.. however I am having a bit of trouble doing so.. here is the code that is attached to the preloader I am using..
Code:
onClipEvent (load) { total = _root.getBytesTotal();}onClipEvent (enterFrame) { loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded(); percent = int(loaded/total*100); text = " "+percent+"%"; gotoAndStop(percent); if (loaded == total) { _root.gotoAndPlay(2); }}
When i use this preloader inside an external .swf which I am pulling into my main movie it resets the whole movie back to the begining.. i guess because of the referals to _root in the code...how I should modify this code for the preloaders in my external .swf's so I can preload and then play my exyternal .swf's in my main movie.

I have a few swfs loaded into the 'main' swf file through 'load movie'. As each of the independent swfs are quite big files, I need a preloader for each of them. However, when I include the 'load movie' in the 'main swf', the independent swfs have not finished loading yet, and the movie bounces back to the begining, which is not my intention. Am I using a wrong type or preloader? I'm actually using the preloader I got from Kirupa, the one which is load with percentage.Also, I originally created the flash in MAc, and the 'load movie' command links to, say...painting.swf. But when I transfer the files to PC, it automatically changes to painting, without the swf. extension. As a result, the link could not be read. I modified the url in the load movie command to 'painting' without the extension. I have yet to test on a mac, but I think it would not work.

I am working on my first Flash project with AS3.The structure of the flash site is pretty simple. I have a stage 1165px wide x 710px height Inside my Stage I have an horizontal bar with a menu followed by a container right under.
is that whenever I click on one of the button on the menu, that the related external .SWF loads into the container with a preloading bar and %. I already did all my .SWF files.

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

The following code is quite nice I got it from a tutorial. But I would like one modification as mentioned below: The next_btn will disappear in the following code once it reaches to 5 image.Instead that what I need to modify is, the could should get th last number from the images and set the disappear to value to next_btn. Why I need it because I don't know how many images the user will require. The following is the code:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
//variable is a container that holds some value...var imageNumber:Number = 1;=true;[code]..........

The problem is that when I try to click on a button it gives me this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at dyson_fla::MainTimeline/progressHandler()(progressHandler is the function that calculates bytes loaded and does all the math for the preloader; this is part of the external .swf that are loaded onto the main timeline)Here's the code for the main .swf and after I'm adding the code for one of the external .swf that I'm trying to load.

I'm trying to modify the Velocity3D.as code from "Foundation ActionScript 3.0 Animation" so that I get 2 balls appearing that two different people can control with different keys. This is AS3 of course. I'm new to AS3 so I think I'm making a simple mistake with addChild or something else that will be obvious to experienced programmers.I created a second ball sprite which I called Ballb.as. this second ball is yellow. The first one is red.
Problem 1: I can't get both balls to appear on screen. Which ever addChild is put last that color appears. However, the controls are always the controls for the original red ball.
Problem 2: I want to use the "WASD" keys to control the second ball.But I can't figure out the correct syntax for using keyCode numbers for those letters. I've used "F" keys in the code as place holders. But as noted above they don't work even when a yellow ball is created.Here's the modified Velocity3D.as code...
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;[code]............

I have this code below and would like to know where and how i would alter it to have the menu reference horizontally and not vertically. I think it has something to do with "SortByVertical" and i changed it to "SortByHorizontal" but this just gave a strange result. I need to do this becuase i will be adding a scrolling text box and using it vertically does not work for the scroll bars.[code]

Still trying to wrap my brain about using classes in as3. I have my document class that calls another class that sets up buttons. I have the buttons working but I want them to play a movieclip on the stage when they are clicked. In AS2 I could just reference _root.mymc.play(); I am also having trouble setting up global variables which I think will have a similar solution. I think I read somewhere that I need to make a 'Globals' class inside my document class. Is this correct? I have tried doing that a few times but keep getting errors.

I am trying to replace some code which loaded an external image and triggered and function once completed with code that uses and embedded image. The relevant code looks like this.
Code:
[Embed(source='globe.png')]
public function Globe()
{
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The commented out section is where it used to take the loaded image and apply it to a texturemap.I need to replace the lines of code in the first function with something that calls the second function correctly.
I have tried using function imageLoadComplete (e:Event = null)and calling it with imageLoadComplete(); in the first function but although it compile and runs without error, the program does not work properly. I suspect this is to do with the dispatchEvent(); line which I do not understand.

I was wondering how are circular preloaders done? Not just a preloader with a circular animation but actually a circle that grows with the progress.

I swear, this problem alone is the toughest issue I've ever had to figure out with Flash.Let me explain... You created a preloader to show a loading external swf's bytes loaded, which is to be placed in a empty movieclip once fully loaded.Your overall size for your fla.is around 40 mb. Create a windows projector.exe and the loader doesn't work, the movie loads but you don't see a loader. I've exhausted every possible solution I can think of.

I have moved on to using a Fireworks preloader in Flash. I have one timeline, my slideshow of 3 images starts on frame2, I insert my Fireworks loader into Flash from the Flash libary and place in Frame1. All fine however after my slideshow of 3 images is finished before it loops again the preloader blinks on the screen before the slideshow starts again. Is there anyway of stopping the preloader appearing after the slideshow has started? I know it sounds petty but I would like it if the preloader does its stuff at the beginning and then does not show again.

This is something that has bugged me for a while, and I just can't seem to find the answer.My issue involves preloading my site and images that are dynamically loaded. My preloader, as it should, considers whatever is on my stage. But the preloader never waits for my dynamic stuff to load. Why is that??So my problem is that the preloader "thinks" that everything is loaded and send the user to the home page of the site, where none of the dynamically loaded images have appeared yet.

I'm using a simpel preloader script that holds the movie on frame 1, and plays frame 2 when everything is loaded.I used this script before without any problems, but for some reason the textfield with the "loading"-text only shows up at exactly 50%.There are no other objects/movieclips/textfieds except this one "loading"-text on frame 1. When I trace the 'update()'-function, it traces once at the beginning of the script, holds, and than traces as it should after 50%.[code]

All the information I've seen about preloaders show that one must make the preloader in the main scene, don't know why, I'm building [URL] with a fancy preloader, since i tryed making a group mc to contain all the elements of the preloader it stoped working. What i find strange is that sometimes grouping a simple preloader in a mc does work.

I am basically having a problem with my site.I have one flash file, and from there are severallinks. Each new link when clicked opens up a new flashmovie using loadmovie in a target movie clip. I created preloaders for each of the individual flashfiles. However when testing for streaming, it does not work. My site isExample, from the main flash file, when I click onfilmography, the movie laods, but prelaoder doesn'twork. However, when I test my filmography movieindiviually, by running filmography.htm, the preloaderworks.

I'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.

Able to direct me in the right direction as to how to go about adding preloaders for images on a rotating menu.
I am not after any kind of complex animation loader, just simple text that says 'Image Loading'
I have a few thoughts which are;
1.create moveclip with the words 'loading Images' some how load this in the background of main holder that loads images in so that when image loads it loads over the text 'Image loading' technically not a loader just text in the background.
2.create moveclip with the words 'loading Images' that when image loads in the text is replaced by image that loaded in? [code]...
