ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading .jps Loaded From A XML?
May 22, 2007
I've run into quite a problem with a project I've been working on for a University.We're loading 4 different pieces of .XML data into flash and creating a dynamic slideshow from it. [URL]After the XML data is loaded into it goes through and counts how many "slides" there are, picks a random rumber from that and displays that "slide". When NEXT is clicked it plays the next "slide" in incremental order unless it's at the last slide.... then it goes to the first.
The problem I've run into is that the animation tweens the iamge before it is loaded into it's container MC. I need a way to load the images BEFORE that animation fires. Here's where I'm loading the XML (from a variable set in HTML):
Code:
_global.xmlFinishedLoading = false;
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
[code]....

I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?

i have a preloader, that i wanted to have it shown for each time a menu section is pressed. These sections are external movie clips... is there a way of writing an universal code, so when the button is pressed, the preloader would fire first?

I'm trying to load an external .swf file that is a preloader that loads another .swf. Yet the preloader just hangs when it's loaded into the main swf and never loads up the specified .swf. Here's my code

this is the code i'm using to load external swf files....
Code: Select allstop();
/////////////////////////Music
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.load(new URLRequest("rainbow.mp3"));
[code].....
but how do i implement this code for preloading ever swf?
Code: Select allloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;percentLoaded = Math.round(percentLoaded * 100); trace("Loading: "+percentLoaded+"%");}function loadComplete(event:Event):void { trace("Complete");}
all i want is a simple text with % preloader on all the loaded swfs?

I am trying to preload dynamic swf files from an asset folder into a blank movie clip within my main swf file. Some of the files are 2+ mb and need to preload.
I am dynamically importing the swf files from an external asset folder into a blank movHolder movie clip on the stage of my main movie. I have this working fine. I am having a hard time knowing where to place the preload script (in the asset swf or in the movHolder clip), and whether or not my script is accurate for this procedure.
Inside of the movieHolder clip, I placed the preload script script on frame 1:
totalBytes = Math.round(getBytesTotal() / 1024);
loadedBytes = Math.round(getBytesLoaded() / 1024);
percentDone = Math.round ((loadedBytes / tatalBytes) * 100);
framesloaded >=100) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}
On frame 15 I have a looping action that tells flash to gotoAndPlay(5); as it loads the asset to frame 100.
On frame 20 I have inserted the label "start".
Obviously my approach is flawed and does not control the dynamically loaded asset. I am assuming that the asset swf if loading on frame 1 and ignoring my code.

I have a small juke box created. As you click buttons, it dynamically loadeds and steams mp3's sitting on the server. The question is: There is some lag time from when you click and enough information is downloaded for the user to actually hear anything.Just wondering if I could throw a preloader on that would just let the user know what is going on until the mp3 actually starts playing.I read the huge tutorial on Flash Kit talking about sound, but in this author's words it reads, "The preloader described here will work for event and streaming MP3's. However, it's not logical to build a preloader for a streaming sound, as it will start playing before the preloader reaches 100 percent."

Using: Flash CS3 Pro, AS 2.0
I have split the 20min presentation into a series of swfs that load into a main swf that holds the "container" movie clip. I originally added a timeline based preloader inside each swf but apparently the client wants the whole thing to be seamless (no "loading..." screens). I am completely at a loss as to how to basically preload the next swf while the current one is playing.

I was trying to create a preloader that preloads content loaded by the LoadVars() Object. For some reason, the getBytesLoaded and getByetesTotal variables of the LoadVars object kept retuning a null value. Below's how I do it:

I have a movie clip which is having dynamically loaded image. I want to preload it. how do i make a preloader for a movie clip.I used loader component for preloading images. And its work fine. But I have various images which are loading in a single movie clip when user clicks on a particular button.so i want to develop a preloader for a movie clip. And my client also doesn't want that simple look of a loader component. That's why i will can use any free preloader. But how to assign it to a movie clip which is having dynamically loaded images.

I have a preloader using this script:
[Code]....
I want a mask to go over some words in relation to the percentage of the file loaded. Below it I want text that says 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. (also in relation to the percentage loaded). But when I test it and click "simulate download," the screen stays white for about 10 seconds then goes to frame 2 where my content starts.?! I get no errors, either. PS: on Flash CS5, is TLF text the same as Dynamic? For "percentage," the only two options are Classic and TLF...

i have my portfolio website which is a 1.5mb big flash presentation and i thought about making a preloader.the problem is that making a preloader for the entire site will take too long to load. i have tried that.
so i thought about making a preloader for each "page" or section of my presentation. for example- just for syneron, or just for m-systems (with each of them have a few diferent pages in the presentation, but their size is managable).
the problem is that i cant find anything is the preloader code that will let met control what frames to preload (for example, frames 100-200).

I've made preloaders before, but only by having a preloader.swf that loads the content.swf.Is it possible to have an swf preload itself, so to say?I suppose the swf doesn't start until it is read into memory completely, or am I wrong?

I have a preloader that loads an external swf. That external swf calls an xml file that takes a few seconds to process and load the images within the xml.
My issue is that the preloader is "lying" to me when it reaches 100% because once it loads the external swf there is still a few second delay before the images within the external swf display.
Logically that makes scene to me because the external swf bytes don't include the bytes of the images that it calls for.
SO,...
How do I get the preloader to count to 100% only when the entire external swf and all of its contents are loaded in?

I need both the XML and SWF to be fully loaded and available. The problem I have at the moment is that the swf loads and after a slight delay the xml content appears (this is more noticeable at lower bandwidths).I need for both to appear at the sametime. Is there a way of constructing a preloader that takes both swf and xml bytes together ie getBytesTotal for both swf and xml.

While the main movie is already visible and usable, I want to load some additional SWF's (not to large though, like 20-50kb) underwater... so not visible and they won't be appearing to people unless they click a certain button. It is not certain that people will actually go to view them, but I want to make sure that some parts are immediately visible (so already loaded), in cache so to speak.

I have an FLV embedded in a SWF, and it preloads whenever a user visits the page it's on. Is there a way to prevent it from preloading, or force a user to click play before it loads?

I am currently building a flash site which uses dynamic images throughout using loadMovie("picture.jpg", mc_name) to load them into various movie clips. This all works fine and the site is starting to look good, the only problem i have is with preloading. I have the main swf file and everything contained within it preloading with a progress bar at the start which works fine. When the movie loads the main homepage image slowly fades in, however as the loadMovie("home.jpg", homepic) is on the same frame as the homepage, if you don't have the image in your cache then you miss the fade completely in the time it takes the image to load.
As a result i am wanting to preload this (and a few other) images during the initial preloader if possible, that way i can prevent this problem from occurring. Unfortunately from what i understand i can't run loadMovie from within my preloader actions as they're in a different frame so i'm really not sure how to do it, given the image is external

I have a swf file that opens with a full browser xml slideshow.I've noticed when I have a preloader on frame 1 for my file, it is 'completing' before the xml images have loaded everything else loads(a bunch of text and some menu items) but the xml slideshow images seem to be outside of the scope for my preloader.how I can tell my file not to play until all elements (xml driven slideshow, menu items etc) are loaded?

First of all I dont really know if I posted this in the right section, because I don't really know what I'm looking for. I'm building a website that consists of some swf files and a lot of jpeg images. Now because this is a relatively big design the loading of the page can take some time and it doens't look good if you open it for the first time on a slower internet connection.
Now I do know how to build a pre-loader for a swf file, putting the pre-loader function on the first 2 frames of my movie and let it load from there. But because my site isn't all flash nor does it contain only one swf file I cant use this option.
Basicly what I'm looking for is a pre-loader that loads my jpeg images and my swf's before entering my website. Can this be done in flash?? (Or has anyone suggestions in what languages/scripts I should look for to accomplish this.)(Note that I must load multiple jpeg and swif files)
