ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader Dynamically Loaded Mp3s
Oct 3, 2003
Before you get all worked up about seeing the same question again...let me tell you this.. I DID use the search function and I DID find some interesting things...but just not quite what I am looking for... As the Subject title suggests...I am looking for a preloader for dynamically loaded mp3s... As in the tutorial on kirupa I let the mp3s stream but still there is a little gap before they actually start playing-probably worse on smallband connections

I made a little buffer script for dynamically loaded mp3s. It's supposed to play the file after 20% is loaded (these files are a couple of MB). Anyway, it doesn't play after it's buffered to the 20%. Works when I just test movie in flash. It doesn't work when I test "streaming" in flash. Here's my buff script, etc.
Code:
nrMix=new Sound(djsetMC);
nrMix.loadSound([file], false);
preloadNow=false;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
bytesT = nrMix.getBytesTotal();
bytesL = nrMix.getBytesLoaded();

I have brought this up at the end of another thread, but thought it needed it's own.Trying to loop a dynamically loaded mp3 of a cicada.[code] Why does this not work?I understand that the start function isn't needed, as it's a streaming object, but I thought if I added it, it would loop.This syntax is the only way I know to loop a sound object in AS.URL...

I have added a preloader to my website with a progress bar and percentage loaded number count using the following code;
Code: Select allstop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{
[code]....
This however only determines the progress of what is stored within the main SWF file.Is there a way of doing the same thing for dynamically loaded data? I am importing SWF files into my main SWF website using this code;
Code: Select allvar my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("FILENAME.swf"));
addChild(my_loader);

I've just started to learn about how xml and flash can work together and how to load external files into a swf. Right now im somewhat stuck though. I need to load a jpg into the swf, show the load status and then load another jpg right away.

Dynamically loading mp3's. I have 10 buttons, 1 stop and the others track 01 - 09, these are all in one .swf file. The buttons are all on one layer, on another I have defined all my sounds like so :
firstSound = new Sound();
firstSound.loadSound("track 01.mp3");
through to
ninthSound = new Sound();
ninthSound.loadSound("track 09.mp3");
Then I have the actions for my buttons
on (press) {
//Track 01 Button
stopAllSounds();
[Code] .....
I have uploaded the 9 mp3's, the swf & html file to same folder and this is what happens: [URL]. When any of the 9 track buttons are pressed 7 of the nine mp3's download all at the same time from pressing 1 single button (no track 3 or 9 which play fine normally and have definitely been uploaded) and none of the sounds work. But, when I refresh the page the 7 mp3's that were downloaded now work. The stop all sounds still work on buttons 3 & 9.

I am make a resume cd for some photography of mine and used the photo gallery tutorial on this site. I have made some changes and am happy with how it works. Problem is, the images are loaded dynamically so it goes back to the cd everytime I hit "next." The code gives sets the path to pics, loads the image names into an array and then displays them with:

I have been looking for a preloader such as the one at [URL]. The preloader there is just the effect I've been looking for for a long time. I know it's done with scripting, but I could never make it quite right. I even posted here a few times, and found a tutorial, but it used a drag bar to control it, not bytesLoaded. Any tutorials that you could lead me to that focus on making it a preloader

i just need a preloader for my dynamically loading jpgs.
fyi, i don't need buttons or anything for this...it's a very simple slideshow where the images come in every 100 frames...that's it.
does anyone know what code i should put it so that my images will preload at the beginning so the slideshow doesn't stutter?

I'm using TLF text, so there's a RSL involved. I get that there's a way to include the library in my own code, but I'd rather not do that unless there's no other solution.
In Advanced Action Script Settings > Preloader Method, there's a choice between "Preloader SWF" (five black dots, the default thing) and "Custom preloader loop". My first question is then how to use this Custom preloader loop thing? What is it referencing? Do I have to write a special thingy somewhere? What?
And I already made a simple "bar filling up" kind of preloader, which I'm testing by using the aforementioned "Custom preloader loop" setting and simulating download. (My project no longer compiles when not simulating download [VerifyError: Error #1014: Couldn't find flashx.textLayout.container::ContainerController class.] which led to the conclusion that I'm doing something wrong here.) It does fill up, but it starts at about 60%. From my earlier badly worded Google searches, I think my problem is that I am using a bunch of external .as files which are loading before the preloader. Is there any way to tie the .as files later, or something?(That, or my preloader actually takes up 60% of the project's data, which would surprise me but isn't impossible because it's still very bare.
I'm making a game and I'm sorta kinda using tiles to render the map screen. So I have a bunch of sprites on screen, for which I created a Refresh() method that I call whenever necessary. In this method, I use a Loader object to load desired bitmaps (which aren't in the project's Library), then add this Loader as a child. The main reason I did it that way is because I could then reference the images to load with a string, and so include arguments in there.
(I don't know if I'm clear, so let my try to be more descriptive. I basically have an array containing the map data. I'll read that array and pass some properties as arguments to my Refresh() method to draw the screen correctly. I'll then be able to load the image ["sprite" + arg1 + arg2 + ".png"] by using that string to create a new URLRequest (and then use that in the Loader).If I understand the way this works correctly (and I probably don't ), I'm downloading the images all over again each time I call Refresh instead of having them "cached" somewhere, which is inefficient (because they're tiles and I'm reusing them multiple times). Am I correct in that assumption?
I thought the more "efficient" way would be to import my tiles in the project Library and export these for ActionScript. (They're PNGs, so they inherit from BitmapData.) My problem with this method is that to use these images, I now have to instantiate a class, so there's no string involved, and so I can't concatenate variables with a string anymore to fetch the right PNG to display, which is really, really annoying.
So I'd like to have the best of both worlds: cache images while still being able to refer to them with a string. Is that possible? And more generally, what's the "right" way to dynamically render images in the context of a tile-based map?
EDIT:public vars vs. getters and setters I have classes with properties. I've gathered that it's good programming practice to declare these properties as private vars and then define getter and setter functions to access them. It's easier to just declare these variables as public and move on. What are the pros and cons of both methods?

I have two Preloader problems for a project I'm working on right now.
1. The Main Site preloader disappears when 60% is loaded...with a blank screen lag until moving to the main screen
2. My external .swf Preloader is still on screen after an external .swf has loaded. I can hear the external .swf playing while watching my loader bar at about 20-40%.
Main Site Preloader:
var yChange = 109.2;var yStart = 330.2;
myInterval = setInterval(preload,100);[code].......

I have my main movie, and from there an external movie is loaded which has a scrollpane on it. Problem is the preloader will not show when the external swf is loaded...when the button is clicked, nothing happens for about 3 seconds and then eventually the scrollpane comes up. I have the preloader on Scene 2, and it works for all my other external swfs so I know its the scrollpane issue.[code]I have tried have the "export to first" frame linkage thing but that doesnt work... does anyone know how best to do this?

preloader is not showing up until everything is loaded...using AS3 in CS4. the strange thing is that the code is copied verbatim from a working preloader I used in CS3... also AS3... why its not working here... there can't be differences between CS3 and CS4 that are affecting it...?I've tried various things, even hiding all of the content on the first frame with the preloader...
ActionScript Code:

function myloading(event:Event) {

I have a button on a swf that works fine (click it and it launches a html page) on its own when rendered as a swf - the code forwards to a new page on a html site.[code]but I have used a separate preloader to help load in the graphic, the trouble is this does not seem to pass on the above code, yet the rollover code (that makes the mc resize a little) that is a layer or 2 into the bttn works fine in the original swf and the preloader.[code]
I wonder if anyone could advise me as to how, in as3, I can regain the click functionality back so the swf works after being preloaded.Also, is there a quick way to get the 'finger' pointer instead of the 'arrow' one if I so wished?.

I am using this tutorial to achieve a preloader in externally loaded swf's. It is "kinda" working, however, when the loader is reaching 100% it is loading the page but immediately it is making a "white flash" and it stays on the white.I am attaching the files I have already done, could someone look them through and see what is up? Um let there be said that the laoder.swf is where the prelaoder is in. The default_second.swf is the site the preloader is loading.
