ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader Using LoadMovie Kills Framerate
Mar 1, 2005
I am building an intro for a website. When I publish the swf with html and upload it straight to the server, i get a great framerate (~30 fps). However, when I plug the intro into my preloader, the framerate drops, and the flash player automatically sets the first part of the intro to low quality. I am using a preloader that uses a loadMovie command rather than the traditional preloader on frame 1, content on frame 2. Does anybody else know anything about the loadMovie command causing deplorable frame rates?url... (if your machine is really fast, the one with a preloader might not kick it down to low quality, but it does on my athlon 2000 machine)

When I preview my SWF from within Flash or run the exported swf outside of Flash, it has suddenly become extremely slow, maybe 10 FPS or something. But then it runs smoothly if I
- run it in a browser embedded in a HTML page
- run a preloader locally which simply loads the problematic SWF file; once the problematic SWF file shows up, it runs perfectly.
This doesn't make sense to me, and it's really annoying to be unable to just Shift+Enter to preview. Anyone tried anything like this before?

I am really stuck with a loadmovie action that I cannot find the solution to. I have a website that I had to split up as the loading time was too long. I have used a loadMovie function and it loads the external movie but the problem is that the external movie requiring a little bit of time to load I want a preloader to come first.
I have attached screenshots of this (wssmain liks to the arch_mc1) . The problem is that the movie loads but the preloader doesn't play. Anybody has any ideas why?
The first screenshot shows the wssmain whereas the second (preloader2) shows the arch_mc1. If the fla files are required I will make them available for download.

First things first, please don't recommend I change to AS3 for this. I know, but It's far too late for that and not my project to be dictating..So I'm loading some external swfs in with the loadMovie command, in the normal manner with a button:
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("swfs/example-1.swf", _root.container);
}
But what I need, is to wedge a preloader in there somehow. As the swfs are around 1mb each.I'm already using the following as a preloader for the main file, so an adaptation of it would be very welcome so I can co-ordinate the graphics.With this on frame 1:
Code:
var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal();
preloaderText.text = Math.round(amountLoaded * 100) + "%";
And this on frame 2:[code].....

I've got a strange problem with my new flash website. I've been able to code a preloader for loading in different .swfs into my main .swf file. This works fine locally and even when I simulate the download in Flash. But when I've uploaded it to my website the preloader no longer works. Basicly the swf file does load into the current swf but without the loading bar and percentage reading.
stop();
_root.homecontent.loadshowreel._xscale = 1;
_root.homecontent.onEnterFrame = function() {

I've been using the snazzy preloader for a while now, but now I've come to a fork in the road, and it's forking got me baffled. The most annoying thing is I'm sure it's just a basic targetting problem.
The preloader works fine if the external .swf is loaded in by LoadMovieNum, but I tried placing it in on a lower layer in my main movie, hence the LoadMovie (into an empty MC container).

I am using loadMovie to load a movie that has a preloader, but the preloader will not work?
Code:

My flash site is created similar to that of the one in Kirupa's full flash site tut. When I click the home button, the
_root.contents.loadMovie("welcome.swf");
action loads in the welcome section (to a blank movieclip). However, "welcome.swf" consists of two scenes - the contents, and a preloader. It was working fine BEFORE I added the preloader scene. Now, all I get is a quick glimpse of my preloader animation (for "welcome.swf"), then my intial movie (navbar) starts over agin.
CODE USED FOR PRELOADER SCENE (IN "WELCOME.SWF"):
1ST FRAME:
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (loaded>=total) {

I have been working on a site of mine, and I wanted to make a 360 rotation view thing with some pictures (12 shots all from different angels around the same axis). I need to make a preloader load everything up front, so there wont be any legging.
My best guess was making a slide show kinda thing, with an rotation and zoom bar. And before the slide show, a frame that holds the preloader. But the preloader doesn't loads the right images. I load my images from an XML file, and then parse them into an array (something I got from here I believe). That parts seems to work all fine, but when I load the images using a "container.loadMovie(image[i]);" code, it isnt loading anything, except for an error :s
[Code]...
There are some loose ends (like the gotoAndPlay(3) things, but that is because I may wanted to add a thumbnail gallery in frame 3... )

How can I make a preloader that shows percentage/bar for a movie loaded in with LoadMovie?I've tried using a normal preloader (the one from Kirupa) in the "to load" movie, but it doesn't work.Is there a way to have the preloader assess how big the movie to load is, how a bar etc. and have the movie hidden until 100% is loaded (as seen on the bar)?

I'm encountering a weird phenomena. I have a multi nested display object structure. Some of the deeper display objects have MOUSE_CLICK events. But as soon as I set main display item container.rotationX = 5 then the mouse events don't work anymore.

I've got a movie with some buttons in the middle of the screen. I've got a tween on the buttons to make them grow/shrink on rollOver/rollOut, when a button is clicked, I've got a frame animation that moves the buttons to the top of the screen and shrinks them. This all works fine.
When the buttons grow, they need to appear on top of all the other buttons. Since there's no more swapDepths, I'm using setChildIndex to move the rolled over button to the top. Now, when I click one of the buttons (after rolling over it), any of the buttons I've rolled over aren't affected by the frame animation.[code]...

I have a graphic sitting on my stage that I want to convert to a movieclip so I can change it's alpha with as3. If I change it from a graphic to a movieclip my swf stops working. I have a bunch of code which constructs a dynamic menu and it stops working when the graphic is changed to a movieclip. They aren't related in any way so why would this happen? As a graphic it doesn't have an intance name and nothing is happening to it. It's not animated or anything. It's just sitting on the stage.

The update to Flash 10.1 kills my cross-domain. Formerly, my file looked like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"><cross-domain-policy>[code]......
I updated to this based on what I read on this site:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM [code].....
We are using SAP Business Objects Xcelsius, which creates the .swf file that users are using to access our environment. So, I do not have any control over the code base itself.

The newest version of chrome seems to have killed my transparent backgrounds on my SWF. On a website, I use flash to have a transparent video on top of the elements. However, the background is now black under the newest versions of Chrome.

I'm working on a banner ad project where we're trying to send dynamic variables from one of our servers to position a movieclip that simply slides in from offstage and then does a little bounce. My AS2 frame script at the beginning of the tween sets the _x and _y properties of the clip successfully. But that seems to destroy all the movement of the tween. In other words, when I set those two positioning properties on the clip, it just sits there and no longer slides in or bounces. I've tried a lot of different values, but they all seem to kill the movement of the tween.

I have this issue where I have a function that when it gets called via a setInterval (or setTimeout as I have tried both), it somehow makes my class vars undefined. I have traced it right before I call the timer, right after and then inside the following function that gets called. See below:

private function onFrontTireSuccess (evt:Object):Void {

Is there anything else besides high cpu usage that would cause the framerate of a swf to lag?I'm working on a game that is set to 60fps so the animations are super smooth, and I am on good, fast computer so even with tons of animations going my cpu usage never goes above 14% usage, and only about 1% of the systems memory is used.

i am making a flex air application and when its deactivated (lost focus), its framerate becomes to 1fps.i am using psudo-threading encoder that uses enterframe to keep it working the app requires long time converting process more than hours and i need the program to do the same thing while sitting back in the background how to disable deactivation in air application as soon as the focus is out, it becomes 1 fps instead of 24 fps which i need.
i know i can use timerevent rather than enterframe event but my app needs alot of calculation and i figured that in flash, the frame extends its time if the calculation isnt finished. if it gets too long in one frame, the ui hangs up.if i use enterframe, on slow comps it would extend its time to complete the calculations when all the calculations didnt get to finish in time in 1 frame.but im afraid if i use timer event, instead of waiting for the codees to be excuted it would excute the next timer event, i didnt try it though.i created the app that when you add the xml songbook data, it would load up the data sort it and create pages with the graphics and skins set up and when you save, it saves the pages to jpg files using the encoder i created.and the encoder uses enterframe.its working fine but when i deactivate the window while encoding, it becomes extremely slow since it becomes 1fps.

Every now and then I come across some examples on the web that have a nifty little FPS output window. I have also seen a couple that count objects on screen and various other usefull data.Rather than build one myself since I am pressed for time on my current project, does anyone know where I could find a little class or component like this? I had a link from a friend pointing me to one, but I lost the email when I migrated to a new machine (yes, I should have migrated my mail data file - STUPID STUPID ME!).
