ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrubber Gallery With Preloader?
Jul 20, 2009
I followed a couple of tuts and I have the gallery working, but I would like it to have a preloader, so I added a basic one to the first 2 frames of the root and moved gallery movieclip and controller to the 3rd frame.the preloader works and the movie goes to frame 3 but then my controller(scrubber) for my gallery doesnt work, in the code there is nothing refering to the _root just _parent so I am not sure where the problem is. I'm a cg artist just trying to get a website up.CODE:root frame 1Quote:
LOADED = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
TOTAL = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
PERCENT = LOADED/TOTAL;
I am making a player that adds an advertisement before a video but don't want the user to be able to skip though the ad. I am using the progress component and an FLV Playback component for my player. I had tried to just hide the progress bar but it looks unbalanced. If anyone has an idea on how to make it so a user can not fast forward though the ad by dragging the scrubber that would be great.
I am a little stuck as to where to begin; I have created aphoto gallery and now need to add some preloader capability to it.The images are brought in via XMLList etc... What I have in mind, Iwould like to display a preloader untill all the images are readyfor viewing - not wanting to preload individual images one by one)I also have a document class within the gallery swf file, Ibeleive that this may cause conflicts with attaching a preloader toframe 1 - I have tried preloading the gallery swf file via apreloader.swf; the end result still leaves me with having toprovide a preloader within the gallery swf.Can anyone point me to any good examples, for me to get on
Ok so I have this XML gallery working perfectly, but I want to add a preloader to it. I have the loader and child all in one package, and that package is called via back and forward buttons according to if/else statements that ensure that the xml gallery does not get confused. I figure ok, so it's simple, I just add the preloader into the package using if/else statement, but I can't seem to get it to interact with the imageLoader I have set up in this package. As it stands right now I get no compile errors, but I do get an output error at runtime stating that packagedF and xmlLoadedF are now null object references. Take a look and see if you can figure out what I'm doing wrong:
ActionScript Code: stop(); var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml"); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);[code]......
I have searched and searched and can't seem to figure this one out. I have a preloader for each of the images (loaded with XML) in my gallery. I'm trying to get the percent to show up. I got fed up and deleted the percentage part of the preloader it all together... But now I really need one in there. Does anyone have a clue how to code this? Here's the AS for the preloader bar I have so far:
I am building a web site and I have the main movie, which loads a picture gallery (another .swf file) using "loadMovie();" and then the problem comes in - my gallery movie has a preloader which after finishing is supposed to move on frame 2 of the gallery movie, but instead of that it moves to frame 2 of the main site...
This is the main movies button code loading the gallery: on(release) { gotoAndStop(5); Gallery_Sub.loadMovie("../Flash/murals.swf");
Here is my preloaders code on the frame 100: _level0.gotoAndPlay(2);
And at last my gallery movie's code on the preloader frame: stop(); percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100); if (percent == 100){ _level5.gotoAndPlay (2); }else{ _preloader.gotoAndPlay(percent); } I tried using loadMovieNum(); but somehow it didn't work as well.
been a fan of this great site for ages. [URL] One thing i really like about the site is that when you get into a section, you will see at the bottom of the section the numbers 01 , 02 , 03...ect.. progressively load into the movie, which when they are loaded in are active and can be selected whilst the rest stilll are preloading.
I'm having 2 problems (that I know of)... I'm not sure that "tscroller" is the movieclip I want to preload for the thumbnails, and I can't get my movieclip entitled "thumbpreload" (which is set _visible = true; here) to show up. This preload function seems to conflict with the main image preloader and cause it to stop working. The file I'm using can be found here: [URL]
i've got all the xml coded and ready to go, now what i struggle is to implement my existing preloader to make it load each image. This is a work done by my friend and i am just continuing his final works so it took me quite a long time to digest these codes too.
this is my frame 1 actionscripts with a preloader.
I'm getting quite comfortable with the XML thumbnail gallery here on the Kirupa site... but wondered if there was an easy way to have a preloader for the thumbnails? I don't really have an idea how to set up the code for that.
i am loading all thumbs and images in a container on a single frame using action script..but the size of the swf becomes 1.2 mb so i want to add a loader to it. the loader i am trying to add counts the frames but my file has just one frame so the loader doesnot show up..
here is the script of my gallery..and the timeline has just one frame...
I am new to flashCS4 and done 2 of lee's tutorial's and have 2 questions. 1) how/where do I add a preloader to file when each vid is clicked on ? 2) how do I set a mc to be seen as a button in browser when you mouse over it ? VideoGallery: [URL]
I need an example of how FlvPlayBack scrubber works ?? what is a scrubber and wats the purpose ? i need an example of a scrubber ?? i tried example code of adobe flash, but am getting an error.
I am trying to make a scrubber that will allow me to scrub through the root time line which has streaming audio on it. I have created audio players before where the file was being streamed in from an external file, but have not dealt with it ever being on the timeline.
[Code]...
It works pretty well, however, there is a problem. When I scrub the bar, the audio stops playing. I am assuming it is related to the enterframe function, but I am not sure on how to correct the code.
I'm new to flash. I'm trying to create a swf of a video with scrubber and at a certain point through the video the web address pops up and is clickable. I have tried embedding the flv within the timeline but it warns me that things could get out of sync.
I am trying to make a scrubber for a mp3 player. I can not figure it out! Any one know of a good tutorial or code I can look at? Everything else is working, just can not get the scrubber.....
I've been following the tutorials for building a custom flv player and have come across a few problems, the player can be seen online here: [URL]. I'm having a few issues with the scrubber and the load bar, they loadbar starts in the middle and stretches out towards the sides and the scrubber starts in the middle and runs off the end? I'm pretty new to actionscript as have only really used flash for simple animations before, i have attached the source file and the actions are listed below.
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc); theVideo.attachVideo(ns);[Code] .....
Are there any examples or tutorials on AS3 scrubbers? I cant find any that don't deal with flv control... I need swf timeline control and dont have the knowhow to convert an as2 version.
I have created a video player in AS3 using some of the code from Lee's tutorials to create the loadBar and Srcubber. My video works, the play, pause and rewind buttons work. However, I cannot get the loadBar and scrubber to work.
i'm just new flash and actioscript as well.i'm following exactly the tutorial of making a media player but on the progress bar and scrubber part, mine doesn't work.the progress bar won't progress at all while i'm playing a flv file, the scrubber works only by on loading the bytes but if i scrub it, it won't work. it will just be still works on playing the video from start to finish.
how to build a scrubber bar to control an external SWF. I have a template built that will load external SWF files into a content area. I already built a play/pause button into it but cannot figure out how to make it so the progress bar moves and is scrubbable. I know it has something to do with the total frames/length of the loaded SWF, the width of the progress bar and making the progress bar's tab draggable/constrained but not sure how to put it all together to make it work. I've tried a few things but none of them worked (I'd attach the code I tried, but I trashed it and reverted back to what worked last time).
I'm looking for a tutorial on the interwebs to create a scrubber for the length of a movie clip.For example:If a movieclip is 300 frames long, the beginning of the scrubber would be Frame 1 and the end would be Frame 300 with Frames 2-299 in the middle.I'd like the user to be able to scroll through the movie much like a Quicktime VR
people on these forums have been really kind to me in the past, so I thought I'd try to get some feedback on a problem that I'm currently working on and have approached from a number of angles. While building my own FLV playback component (progress bar which doubles as scrubber (i.e., has a slidable knob, etc.) included), I ran into the following problem:
Once a button that begins download of an FLV is released and the FLV begins loading, the progress bar (which represents the FLV's timeline/total/loaded amounts, etc.) increases (width), however, if during this process a user starts to drag the knob, the width of the progress bar is 'stunted', in other words, while the 'onPress' event is active, the 'videoStatus' event is disabled (the event/function responsible for the proportionate increase of the FLV progress bar's width).
[Code]...
P.S. Using intervals is not really option as this entire process was originally created using intervals (if anyone else is familiar with Lee Brimelow's video tutorial on FLV playback components), however, upon realising that two simultaneously-running intervals won't do the trick, he posted an updated version using 'onEnterFrame' events... (the problem seems to be however, that whether you use two intervals or two 'onEnterFrame' events, the scrubber breaks...) therefore, going back to intervals would probably be taking a step backwards..
I would like to make a player controller with a scrubber for an animation I am creating. I do not want to control a video (mp3, flv, or other). I want to control the animation on the timeline. My Flash file has scenes. Is there a tutorial for applying a controller for this kind of file?
I am building a video player using FLVPlayback and some custom controls (AS3). At the moment when you click the thumb in the progress bar the video pauses and you can drag to a new position on the track and resume playing from there when you release the thumb (this is done using FLVPlayback.seekPercent()).I need to update this so that as you are dragging the video is constantly updating to the correct frame.
I tried using the working that fires on release and calling it on enterframe while the thumb is dragging and everything went wrong. I can't see any reason for this to be a problem and the code so far is pretty straight forward.
