View 4 Repliesi 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 have a .swf that rotates through dynamically loaded images, like a banner of sorts. It secures the image names by loadVars-ing a text file. All this works fine and dandy on our test site -- everything functions flawlessy.
However, when we move the same set of files (same html page, same directory layout, same text file, same swf, same images) to another site, it doesn't work -- the swf runs, but it fails to load the images.
I'm told that this new site is on the same server, so it shouldn't be an issue of server settings.
in my main movie I load dynamically swf
Code:
var sCale:Number = 100;
var mcMyClip:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
mcMyClip.addListener(myListener);

when the preloader load everything it goes to 10 frame, and all content will show, so it works very fine, but.but except the "TITLE.swf" and it will show up after while, because it was still downloading.I have found out in Flash in "Test Movie", when I test the preloader.How do I target the Title.swf into the preloader?, so it preloads together with main movie. It doesn't look good when everything shows up and the title after few seconds later.

I have a preloader that is being served from a CDN, and I want it to load the target SWF also from the CDN but when it uses loaderInfo, it returns the hostname of the html file.[code]Is there some way that I can get the URL that the preloader was served from which is the CDN?

View 8 RepliesI have a looped sound and some components in my main movie (scroll bar) which for some reason is really bogging down my swf and causing the preloader bar not to show up until like 46% or something ridiculous.So I am trying to solve the problem by having a preloader swf as suggested by Kode in this thread. However, now all my targeting is messed up in my main movie. Everything that was _root has to change but I can't tell what to load it into. I tried using _parent, _parent._parent, _root.container_mc (which is a blank movie clip created in the preloader swf that main is loaded into after the preloader is 100%) and others but nothing works. Even the simple looped sound which was originally just _root.backsound.start(0,999) can't be targeted.how to target things on my main stage based on the preloader swf?

I have a text field that has an html link in it with target='display'. So what i want to happen is when the link is clicked, flash opens a new window called display, then when another link(with same taget) is clicked, it will use the existing open window.
The problem is that it keeps opening new windows.
I know that this works in html, but for some reason Flash is not using the same window.
Here is the code i have for the text field:
[AS]resInfo_mc.link_txt.htmlText = "<a href='"+GetterL.OutputLink+"' target='Display'>"+GetterL.OutputLink+"</a>";[/AS]
I have this code for laoding an external SWF :
var holder:Loader = new Loader() holder.load(new URLRequest("animation.swf")) addChild(holder)
However, It loads this animation on the upper left corner. But I need to load it on a specific location, for example 120 px to the right and 70 px from up...
Another thing I need to do, is to load this movie "animation.swf" on a "deeper" layer, because I am creating a border that has to be over the animation... how do I do these two things ?

I'm trying to create a preloader for a site I am creating. Originally I was going to make it an internal preloader, but I ran into that issue where the preloader doesn't start until 50% (or more). After searching these forums for a solution to "that" issue, I found it suggested that the best way to fix it is simply do an external preloader instead.
When testing the preloader using the bandwidth editor, I see that the preloader animation isn't starting now until it's at 100%, instead I simply get a white screen. Once it reaches 100% the preloader animation runs through and then...nothing. My main.swf doesn't load. It just stops.
Here is my code:
Code:
var fileToLoad:Loader = new Loader();
var fileURL:String = "testmovie.swf";
var fileRequest: URLRequest = new URLRequest(fileURL);
[code]...
preloader is my movieclip with the animation, and preloader.loading_txt is a textbox inside that mc which displays the % loaded. I wanted to make it so that once the preloader (and its animation) reach 100%, the preloader mc then plays frames 101 - 124 (which are a small transition animation into the main site). Once it reaches 124 it's supposed to call the main.swf to load.
I am trying to get a preloader to work properly. I have it setup so that when the movie gets to frame 19, it returns to frame 1 unless frame 20 is loaded.
I used this same preloader previously and it worked fine.
Here is the error message: 1087 Syntax Error: extra character found after the end of program.

Thsi script is on the first frame( in the first frame is the movie clip i want for my preloader, second frame is a tween which has no stop at the end, so it goes to the main scene. Is there any thing wrong with this script? When this site was online, the preloader took a long time to come up, and it is only 28 kbs large... what can i do for this?

I have a preloader that works, but I made this website and when I loaded it online I realized I need preloaders in it. But how do I do that? The website is completed, but I guess now I have to go back and put in preloaders on all the pages? I have pages where you click and they load a picture(from an external page) or they load a video clip. How do I put preloaders in there, is there a simple way?
