ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader Doesn't Work Correctly (even In IE)?
May 6, 2006
I've just made a 2'nd version of my portfolio: [Code]... with xml used to read the content & i have several problems that i can't fix.
1: The site works well only in InternetExplorer. In all other browsers, jpg files are not loading correctly - they should fade in when the button is rolling & fade out when the button is rolling up, but they doesn't. Thare are also preloaders for each artwork & they doesn't appear (excepts IE). 2. The main preloader doesn't work correctly (even in IE) It appears, when about 80% of the site is loaded :S I don't know what to fix to the site to work correctly in all browsers.
I wanna make a gallery using xml. Every photo is gray, after ROLL_OVER on it position loads it's colored copy, and after ROLL_OUT copy dissapears. After click, it should navigate to URL. And I have 2 problems:
1. ROLL_OUT doesn't work correctly: it's strange, but it work after ROLL_OVER ... :<
2. how to make linking, hm.. for example, if it's first thumb, to "proj/1", if second to 'proj/2' etc... it's my code:
I have a big problem - I decided to make a website using flash as I am good with photoshop and thought it would be fairly easy to construct in flash using tutorials. All went well except now the website is published, weird things happen. The homepage works fine but when you click on "portfolio" some of the buttons don't appear and when you try the buttons, some images don't appear. Occasionally some of the buttons take you to the wrong place also. When I test the movie in flash, everything works fine so I can't work it out. I am a complete novice so advice will have to be spelt out in black and white.

For this website I've put a preloader on the 1st frame and the site on the 2nd.I've tested the site after having created a small animation which makes appear the main menu, a logo and an image.Everything did work good, so I went on building the site.Now that I have created some pages I've tested again the whole site and the preloader doesn't work anymore.Testing the site on the "ctrl+enter" window and simulating the download I have a white background (both the preloader and website background are yellow) then I see the preloader for a fraction of second and suddenly the site appears.
Publishing the site on my web space the background is correctly yellow, but the preloader doesn't appear, the browser's loading bar stops at half then the preloader appears again for a fraction of seconds and suddenly the site appears (tested on Firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome and Safari, same behaviour with all of them).It looks that the preloader is become part of the site and that there is an invisibile preloader.The setting in: Publish settings -> Flash -> Script Settings -> Library Path -> Default Linkageis set to "Merged into code"the same happen if I set "Runtime Shared Library" and "Custom Preloader Loop".
I've tried to create a preloader in frame 1 which shows a small animation while the site loades. But it doesn't work as it actually loads the entire site before showing frame 1 which kinda takes the idea out of the preloader.
This is my code: stop(); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
I've made a preloader. When i load the SWF within flash, or play it from my harddisk, everything works fine. But when it's uploaded to my server, the preloader doesn't respond.
this is my preloader code:
ActionScript Code: //Import the required assets import flash.display.*;
I created a preloader. When I test it in Flash CS4, it works fine. When I upload the swf files to my server, the preloader doesn't work. I put both swf files in the same folder.
I have a preloader which loads an external swf. When I test locally, everything works fine, but when I test remotely: Preloader runs.External swf doesn't load into preloader. I am using the contentPath to load my external swf, and the only as2 I am using is: on (complete) { this._parent.loaderPB._visible = false; this._parent.mcbgdloader.visible = false;} to hide the progress bar and graphic used in the preloader.
I hope I provided enough info. The preloader is a regular fla and the external uses screens.
I have a splash page. I had a preloader which worked great before I added the sound (a WAV file) and I used attachSound. Now the preloader doesn't work anymore! I have tried putting the attachSound action on the main timeline, in the movieclip, in its own movie clip, EVERYWHERE! All to no avail.
I have a menu which attach movie clips from the library, when I first probed the preloader there were not any linked movie clips, neither png files (because each button in the menu attach a picture which is inside the movie clip) now that I have put the movie clips in the library the preloader doesn't work and I don't know why.
I tryed to do this several times, and it didn't worked. The main problem is that if I test simulate the movie (56Kb) the preloader doesn't work. First it loads the entire file, then it loads the preloader which is not needed then, and the 2nd scene after that.
... I've had my preloader successes already, but something still doesn't work for the external movies... I'm loading the main movie - which contains several chapters, loaded as external swf's - with the following preloader on the first frame, rest content from second frame on:
I am working on a website and I would like it to have a preloader.This website is scripted using Flash CS3 and AS2.There are two scenes, one is "preloader" the other is "tsh".roblem is, the swf file does not display while it loads, then after it loads it displays the preloader for a second and jumps right into the next scene. How can I make it load the preloader scene first, then preload the "tsh" scene? - I have put this code into "preloader"Frame 1:
I have a button that when clicked, it's supposed to play a sound. Now, the sound does play when it's clicked, but it seems to be offset (meaning, it starts a few seconds later in the sound). As a result, only half of the sound plays.I have two buttons that do this, and I'm not sure what caused them to do so.I've never had this problem before, so I'm clueless where to go to fix it. I tried verifying the integrity of the sound, and it's normal. When I check it's proporties from the library, and "Test" the sound, it plays just fine, with no offset or anything.Here is the code I have for the button that causes this behavior:
Code: var soundEffect_Button = new SND_EFFECT(); soundEffect_Button_instance_manual.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,SndEffectDown); //Make the callback[code].........
In the main class (DocumentClass) I have the following code to set up the preloader:[code]Although I am not getting any error messages, I have a strange issue going on where the first frame stays blank until the last second then flashes the preloader before going on to play the game.If you change the code "loadingPercent.setValue" to just "trace" you will notice that the game isn't even keeping track of the first 90% of the loading going on.
I'm having issues with drawing a circle. The code seems to work for drawing all the required segments except one, but tracing the points of the drawing looks correct.This is the class that generates the segments:
I am trying to load html into a text box from a website. when i load to the text box, everything goes fine except that it is loaded as something that looks like this:
[Code].....
I just need to convert it to html. I understand a lot of the tags wont work the same way bc as2 doesnt accept them, but I can deal with those after. Here is my loader:
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code: var i:Number = 0; var myInt:Number; var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.

ok, i have been working on this for a week or so, and yes it has been a week. I don't have the internet where i am from so I resorted to ebooks that I had downloaded. The problem is, is that I have made a very simple math program. You decide which operand you want to use and a randomly generated questions pops up. You answer the question and you are told whether you are right or wrong. This continues 5 times where you are graded based on percentage correct. I am not worried about taht part yet, I want to get my if else statement working correctly first.
The first frame is the frame where you choose your operand. The second frame is where you solve the problem, and the last frame is where you are told whether you are correct and what your percent so far is.I have an ebook teaching me but I have had some success in prior programming. When my program didn't work, I debugged and eventually ripped the program straight from the book. It still isnt working correctly.
i tried the tutorial that teaches you how to create a preloader....i followed the instructions and it still doesnt work! what's wrg?[code]on my first frame actions....i put the "gotoAndPlay (36)" cause i tried a previous preloader that took more than 1 frame and didnt want to change my button's "goTo" frames...but i figured it wont change anything..anyways, i put that line of code as my first frame action....by double clicking the timeline..then i create a symbol for that frame 1 and created an animation.
I am making a spin wheel and the hitTestObject doesn't seems to be displaying correctly Basically, there is an arrow (the finger that locate where the wheel stopped) and the wheel itself. The wheel is divided into different segments, and each of these segments can be control by the code. Here's the problem though, my arrow is at the top of the wheel and it only touches 1 of the segment, but whenever I use the hitTestObject method with the arrow and the segments, it somehow detect several segments instead of one. These segments are not overlapping one another so I don't understand why it is detecting several hits instead of one.
i have designed a gaming kiosk app in as3i am using it on a Sony vaio l pc (like hp's touchsmarts) in windows 7the app doesn't need any multi-touch gestures (only single touch clicks and drags) so i am using mouse eventseverything is fine (including mouse click and move events) except that a single touch to the screen (with no move) doesn't fire a mouse down. it is fired only after a small move of the fingeroutside the app, on my desktop, i see that the small windows 7 cursor jumps immediately to where a finger is placed, meaning this issue isn't a hardware or a windows problem but rather how internally the flash app receives "translated" touch-to-mouse events from the os.for example, in a windows Solitaire game, a simple touch to the screen immediately highlights the touched card.in my app, a button will change to the down state only if i touch it and also move my finger slightly.
I am trying to add videos to my project, but none of them seems to work correctly. I have a movieclip, which has 3 layers and 2 frames on each layer, 1 frame at nr.1, and frame 2, at nr. 5 in the timeline. I tried to add a FLVPlayer, using a tutorial, but it doesn't works correctly. 1st frame has a stop(); a blank, and 4 buttons + FLVPlayer component. the last frame nr.5, has the AS3 code, the frame label "videocontent", and the same 4 buttons and FLVPlayer component as in the first frame. I've created a classic tween between 1st and 5th frame on the timeline for the buttons and component. even with or without animation, the video is throwed by the Flash on the stage without any coordinates, where he wants by default. The FLVPlayer's buttons are throwed in other place on the stage, and none of them seems to work.
the second issue is that after i click the main menu button, the sound of the video is still playing and to be heard, so that means it is still there. In AS 2, once upon a time, i used some function called removeclip, or unLoadMovie, and it worked.
I got some problem with a task. I Can't get removeChild work correctly.When u push i_golf three buttons appear (i_golf1, i_golf2, i_golf3) and each button is connected to a picture.
i_golf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, visaGolf); function visaGolf(e:MouseEvent){ var v_golf_bild:MovieClip = new golftumbs();[code]....
