ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloaders For Loading External Swf?
Feb 14, 2005
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 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 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

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

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.
