im stuck with preloading sounds. i want to preload mp3s into my movie, but the thing is that they shouldnt start playing when completly/partially loaded.
i want the mp3 to get completely loaded in the background(but shouldnt play as yet) when some animation is completed and scene 2 is reached the mp3 should start playing.

I made a preloader which is similar to the preloader in the tutorial from gotoandlearn.Works all fine except, that the swf-file, which contains a movie (with sound n everything) already starts playing, while its still loading. So in fact u can see the preloader loading, while you can already hear the sound of the movie.How can I prevent the external swf-file from playing before it has finished loading?(And I'd prefer to handle the problem with 2 seperate swf-files. I know I could make the preloader in the first frame and tell to skip forward to the second frame when it's done loading...)
View 6 RepliesI have an mc placed on the main stage that I'm trying to control through a separate button. I want the mc to play until a certain frame number is reached and then stop. I've got the following actionscript on the button instance:
Code:
on(rollOver){
if (mc._currentframe == 10){
mc.stop()
[Code]....
This is not working at all - the mc is not stopping at frame 10, just looping continuously
I have a circle on my main timeline that rotates as the the timeline plays. I would like to have the timeline stop on a certain frame when a certain button is pressed. So basically, i would like to to a button to play through until it reaches a certain frame. It seems like the most basic thing, however, I cant do itHere is my code so far:
green_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playGreen);
function playGreen(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[code].....
I have an eventListener on a particular movieClip that triggers the timeline to play when clicked. This should play through a short tween, then hit another piece of actionscript in the last frame of that scene, which should take you to the next scene. I also have an audio file loaded into a soundChannel, as well as a few timers that operate a click prompt over the movieClip already mentioned. My bug is that if you click on said movieClip before the soundChannel is finished playing, all functions properly. However, if you wait for the sound to finish, this initiates a few timers that cause a prompt to fade in, telling you to click on the movieClip. If you click on it, still, everything works fine. But once the timers complete their work, and the click prompt fades back out, the tweens do not operate properly. If you then click on the movieClip, the timeline seems to play doubletime until coming to a stop() action in the next scene.

jumping from from scene to scene once the play head reaches the end in AS3? Scenes do not play one after another like they used to. Below is some code I found that works with errors, however I'm not using a MC like the code displays "mc1". Not really sure on how the MC fits in? import flash.display.Scene; var scene:Scene = mc1.currentScene;trace(scene.name + ": " + scene.numFrames + " frames");

I am creating an online demo which has 5 scenes that play one after another. My goal is to load the 1st scene while the user waits. Once the 1st scene starts to play, the 2nd scene begins downloading quietly in the background. That way, once the 1st scene is complete, it will automiatically play the second scene, the viewer none the wiser. I don't have any user interaction here.
View 3 RepliesI'm having trouble getting any sound to play in my second scene. I'm using actionscript in the first scene to fade in the music, then fade it out after they click the button.
Here's the code on layer 1[code]...
Problem: I tried adding a sound to the stage in scene 2 but nothing plays when i test the movie, expect for the music in scene 1. I tried creating another sound object in the first frame of scene 2 but i get the same result.
So this is my code so far:
on (press) { // Gives your movie a button functionsgetUrl("http://www.astahost.com");}
on (rollOver) {this._alpha=100;gotoAndPlay("Scene 2"); }
[Code]....
when i play the movie, it plays scene 2, however, scene 2, which is in my flash document, plays automatically. how can i stop this? is there some code which only makes scene 2 play when called for and not play automatically.
All I want to do is to preload an flv in a similar way a regular preloader works with the first frame having a clip that displays "LOADING" when the correct amount of the flv is loaded it moves to frame 2 and plays.I have looked at the Flash docs for this and all the codes are based on using a component, my flv's are being streamed and downloaded from a regular server and I need to have the playback based on the buffer time. So figure if 50% of the flv is downloaded then play the flv.
I'm creating a video player that have 2 ways of playing the video file. 1st is by streaming. Will play the file directly on each click/ 2nd, is by preloading the video. And only plays it when its fully loaded. But while its preloading, I could still able to click on others video as well to preload the videos and put them on queue for playing.
Currently I'm on the 2nd stage. The problem I'm facing now is it only plays the sound bout not the video. And it overlaps. I'm not sure I have to duplicate the NetConnection or NetStream like how we usually do to duplicate some MovieClip.
ActionScript Code:
public function set newVideo(v:String):void
{
currentStatus = "play";
[Code].....
Movie 1 > click nav button to load movie 2 into movie 1. No problem. Preloader displays load progress of movie 2. No problem. Movie 2 contains external .jpg file. Oops! Preloader does not take this into account. What's a fella to do?

View 2 RepliesI have the following file partially completed URL... The idea is I want to make a full flash site so that I can preload everything at once. Is there anyway of preloading those externally loaded buttons at the same time as what will eventually be the rest of the site? Either that or does anyone know a way of making buttons from Dreamweaver work in flash... when I import them they dont work and thats why I'm loading them externally.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to use the External SWF Preloading Tutorial. Its a great tutorial, but when i try and load the swfs inside the holder it loses some of its functionality.

View 2 RepliesI'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]
View 1 Repliesi 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.
I need to preload an external swf in my file - but I don't want a preloader bar or count or anything - I simply want it to perform in the background - and if done proceed to a certain frame. I've been googling preloaders for a bit now and they all have the bars and percentage count - and I couldn't seem to customize it.
View 1 RepliesI'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;
Here's my code:
Code: Select allimport flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;

The rollover states of the buttons work but when one clicks on the calender it does not work and some other things dont work also. I would really like to implement this in my site. Does anyone know why this might be or if it has been answered before.
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.
I 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.
how can i make a preloader in my main movie that preloads external movies
View 1 RepliesI need to pre-load multiple external MP3s. I have a preloader on my flash piece that preloads the SWF file and shows a progress bar and all that jazz. I am using the Sound class to load all the MP3 files when I need them (they are voice overs).
Is there a way to hook the preloading of those sound files into the preloader that I already have and then just call them up when needed?
I'm having a problem preloading xml loaded content. I'm using the usual this.getbytesloaded at the start of my timeline. The problem is this is getting the total bytes for the container swf before the xml has loaded up all the images and content so my preloader is running short.
