Apr 26, 2005apologies if this seems like a redundant question... i've been reading through all the turorials and forum threads i can find, and am just confused at to what exactly i need to do next.... my first time trying to use preloaders but am finding i need them in order to make my project run smoothly.... my situation: want to preload 5 swf files into my main movie, and have them at the ready to play when i want them to (either by an onEnterFrame or onPress).
i started working with some preload array script from Scotty i found on one of the threads, but elsewhere i've seen info about putting extra frames into the uploading swfs and am unsure what i need to do with this or how it would fit in with the below code. right now, when i try to play one of the uploaded swf files nothing is happening, and i'm guess my code is wrong there too, but don't know what to put....

Oct 3, 2009I got two questions in my mind. The first one is which is a better format for importing a movie? Should I use QUICKTIME or other formats?
Now the second one is a little bit confusing. Let's say I have successfully imported any movie to my FLA file, I was wondering if their is a way to PRELOAD half of the entire movie before actually playing it, that way, audience won't wait for a very long time if needed.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Carousel Icons (SWF Movies)?
Apr 16, 2009I am using a self modified version of Lee's carousel 3 tutorial on my website. A couple of my icons on the carousel are .swf movies that I have optimized. Is there any way to preload all of my swf movies that are being called up from the xml? I've seen the swf preloading tutorial but I'm not sure how to apply that towards the carousel or even if it's possible to do so since the preload is happening as the user first enters the site and not when a button is pushed, etc...

Is there anyway of preloading those externally loaded buttons at the same time as what will eventually be the rest of the site?

Apr 15, 2011I've found this bit of code and it works for preloading my single 'Q1.swf' in an old AS2 project I did a while back. How do I adapt it to preload 5 swf's? Can I load them all to the same target mc or do I have to load them on separate levels or to different targets.I don't want to change the project to AS3 as the budget doesn't allow. Also will this work when the project is viewed from a CD as well as online?[code]

Jul 9, 2009i have a preloader working. except i want to be able to load external images fully first, before the preloader stops. currently the preloader loads everything except the external images, and then everything else starts (but behind the scenes the external images haven't loaded yet and this is annoying!)... how can have the preloader continue until all assets, internal and external, are fully loaded?
ps, i don't want to give each image an individual preloader! i need them all there when the thing starts.

Jul 17, 2008I'm having a problem preloading external images from an XML file in AS3. It's a scrolling image gallery and everything loads fine, but I can't figure out how to preload the images (all I've been able to do is preload the actual .xml file, which is useless to preload a 10k file). The thumbs skip, the big pics pause, etc.
I'm moderate in AS2 and decided to do this project in AS3(doh), and it's been painful;

I got it to work by using loadMovieNum but then lost placement of the swf it keeps going to the top left. I would really like to use loadClip it seems alot more customizable.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading External Swf In A Certain Order?
Aug 25, 2004I want to import a couple of swf in my flashmovie and several of them is just text and the other is large pictures.
The movie is divided into pages that showes one imported text swf and one picture.
I want the text swf to be imported before the picture so you could read the text while the picture is loading so you dont have to wait so much. You could still read the text, ok?
So how could I preloading external swf in a certain order?
I want the code to say : First import the text and then the picture with minimum coding of course.

Apr 5, 2007In AS3 i am using the Loader class to load in multiple external SWFs (AVM1), each of which has a short animation which automatically plays when the swf is I obviously cannot control the timeline of these (i can't use local connection etc) but would like to load in the *.swf files, so they're in memory then add them to the stage when requested. the problem is that if i load them enmass. then use addChild
when they are called, they have already played through and animated pre the addChild command.

I know how to make a preloader for each individual image using this function:[code]However for this particular project it does not matter when each individual image is loaded, but rather I need to know when the whole lot is done.it could be that Im using the wrong approach and maybe I can solve this with some kind of a onLoad(success) type function on the xml part of the code.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading External Swfs?
Jan 10, 2008i'm having a problem with using a preloader to load external swfs into my movie. the swfs are loaded into my movie using "holder.loadMovie(movies[k])", where movies is the array i'm using to reference the movies i want to load. the problem is that the movies being loaded using this method are not being preloaded correctly. in my preload function, the percent variable that i'm using is constantly at 100% no matter how large the external swfs are. even when i try placing "trace(holder.getBytesLoaded()/holder.getBytesTotal())" into my enterframe function, the value always traces to 1, meaning that everything has been fully loaded. i have also tried using the debug options to change the speed of the load to simulate a slower speed, but still, it made no difference.

May 29, 2008I'm an audiovisual interactive design student on a school that's screwed up. We work projectbased and this particular project requires a lot of flashstuff. But, we don't get taught anything by our teachers and we're supposed to find out ourselves once we need something with google and the likes. I wonder what I'm paying my schoolfunds for..Anyway! I'm working on my last project this year and it's an interactive DVD for our yearbook. On this dvd, several projects of students is displayed.
I've made a root.exe projector file that's small on size and only displays a picture, some audio and a button that activates another .swf with an animation to the next screen. I load this one with the loadMovieNum command. After this animation, it will load a new .swf (again loadMovieNum, and in the new one unloading the layer below it) with many active buttons and animations.. it's the biggest .swf I have and I don't think I can split it up.Locally.. everything works just fine with hardly any pauses between the files loading.When I test it on a dvd though, the wait time is about 5 seconds and flash seems to be freezing. This is because of the lack of a preloader and reading speeds of a dvdr driveI've been looking around for preloading external files and I've read alot about them.. and tried alot too, but I can't seem to get it to work. I believe it's because I'm using loadMovieNum instead of loadMovie. I tried changing the way it's reading containers to levels, but that doesn't seem to work.
IDE :: Preloading For External SWF Without Moving To The Second Frame
Jun 30, 2008I have a main movie (main.swf) that has an empty movieclip that calls for an external swf that we'll call imageclip1.swf. Now, I have a preloader set up in the imageclip1.swf, however, it doesn't want to move to the second frame after it's loaded when it's loaded into the main.swf. It works fine when I test it by itself. The actionscript (AS2) in the first frame imageclip1.swf:
[Code]...
What ends up happening is that it moves to frame 2 in main.swf. So I don't know what the problem is. I've tried every target scheme I could think of (_root, level0, this). I'm pretty green when comes to AS, Also, what would be the correct way to access the different hierarchies (i.e main.swf from imageclip1.swf)?
ActionScript 3.0 :: External FLV As Background Preloading?
Apr 15, 2010So I have a video that is actually the background of the website. The video is resizing proportionally when user resizes the browser. The AS3 code is written on base of FLV component. The sound is also external mp3 imported with AS3 code. These are the facts and it works.Now the problem: The preloader calculates only the bytes of the movie including mp3, but doesn't calculate the bytes of external FLV, which makes the the movie and the mp3 play before the FLV video starts playing. It makes a gap and it don't look good at all.
