I tryed to do this several times, and it didn't worked. The main problem is that if I test simulate the movie (56Kb) the preloader doesn't work. First it loads the entire file, then it loads the preloader which is not needed then, and the 2nd scene after that.
View 6 RepliesI have a menu which attach movie clips from the library, when I first probed the preloader there were not any linked movie clips, neither png files (because each button in the menu attach a picture which is inside the movie clip) now that I have put the movie clips in the library the preloader doesn't work and I don't know why.
View 4 RepliesMy buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

I'm working on a slideshow using a class that I wrote that builds the slideshow and an XML file that points to the images. I plan on improving it later but for now I just want it to cycle through a set of images, resize them if they're too big or small, and show a loading bar while the image is loading. It works fine if I test it in the Flash IDE or standalone Flash Player, but if I drag the SWF into Firefox or Safari, the loading bar refuses to show up. I also tried publishing to an HTML file and that didn't work either. I figured there could only be two different reasons why it wasn't showing up - either it wasn't being added to the stage, it wasn't being made visible after it's initially set to invisible. I decided to comment out the part of the code that make it invisible to begin with the loading bar showed up, but it wasn't showing how much of the image had been loaded when it changed to a new picture. Here's my code:
[Code]...
For some reason the pictureLoading function isn't being called when I test it in any browser. I've seen the loading bar randomly pop up a few in times in Safari 4 but then I try closing the window and testing it again and I get nothing. Can anyone help me figure this out? About:plugins in Firefox says I have Flash Player 10.0.22 installed, and I'm using Flash CS3 in OS X.
test touchEvent on Adobe Device Cental, google it can't find any information. I know you can do multi touch, but single Touch doesn't seem to work.
View 1 RepliesFor this website I've put a preloader on the 1st frame and the site on the 2nd.I've tested the site after having created a small animation which makes appear the main menu, a logo and an image.Everything did work good, so I went on building the site.Now that I have created some pages I've tested again the whole site and the preloader doesn't work anymore.Testing the site on the "ctrl+enter" window and simulating the download I have a white background (both the preloader and website background are yellow) then I see the preloader for a fraction of second and suddenly the site appears.
Publishing the site on my web space the background is correctly yellow, but the preloader doesn't appear, the browser's loading bar stops at half then the preloader appears again for a fraction of seconds and suddenly the site appears (tested on Firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome and Safari, same behaviour with all of them).It looks that the preloader is become part of the site and that there is an invisibile preloader.The setting in: Publish settings -> Flash -> Script Settings -> Library Path -> Default Linkageis set to "Merged into code"the same happen if I set "Runtime Shared Library" and "Custom Preloader Loop".
I've tried to create a preloader in frame 1 which shows a small animation while the site loades. But it doesn't work as it actually loads the entire site before showing frame 1 which kinda takes the idea out of the preloader.
This is my code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);

I've made a preloader. When i load the SWF within flash, or play it from my harddisk, everything works fine. But when it's uploaded to my server, the preloader doesn't respond.
this is my preloader code:

//Import the required assets
import flash.display.*;

I've just made a 2'nd version of my portfolio: [Code]... with xml used to read the content & i have several problems that i can't fix.
1: The site works well only in InternetExplorer. In all other browsers, jpg files are not loading correctly - they should fade in when the button is rolling & fade out when the button is rolling up, but they doesn't. Thare are also preloaders for each artwork & they doesn't appear (excepts IE). 2. The main preloader doesn't work correctly (even in IE) It appears, when about 80% of the site is loaded :S I don't know what to fix to the site to work correctly in all browsers.
I created a button symbol on the bottom layer, then added action script code in the first frame on the top layer. Clicked 'test movie' so that I could click the button to generate the code:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("The event handler works!");
}
The movie won't test. How would I fix this to work.
I created a preloader. When I test it in Flash CS4, it works fine. When I upload the swf files to my server, the preloader doesn't work. I put both swf files in the same folder.
View 1 RepliesI have a preloader which loads an external swf. When I test locally, everything works fine, but when I test remotely: Preloader runs.External swf doesn't load into preloader. I am using the contentPath to load my external swf, and the only as2 I am using is: on (complete) { this._parent.loaderPB._visible = false; this._parent.mcbgdloader.visible = false;} to hide the progress bar and graphic used in the preloader.
I hope I provided enough info. The preloader is a regular fla and the external uses screens.
Why the preloader doesn't work in IE 8 but works in FireFox?

I have a splash page.
I had a preloader which worked great before I added the sound (a WAV file) and I used attachSound.
Now the preloader doesn't work anymore!
I have tried putting the attachSound action on the main timeline, in the movieclip, in its own movie clip, EVERYWHERE! All to no avail.

View 1 RepliesWhen I go to test my movie in Flash Pro (control>test movie) nothing happens except a window thats just white.why this may be happening? I just battled some sot of memory problem which is mysteriously resolved ( i didn't do anything). Another funny thing being when flash pro is set to flash player 9 action script 2.0 all is fine...anything else it makes my whole project dissapear from the stage? Getting pretty sick of these funky things happening randomly.

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to detect the user's connection speed by first loading a swf that i know the size of then taking 2 timer measurements before and after loading and then working out how fast they downloaded the file.
My problem is that when I try to test this locally using the 'Simulate Download' option in Flash I have to run the movie twice (it won't simulate 56k on the first run) and it looks like Flash has cached the movie the second time it runs (loading a 12k file in less than 100 ms wasn't typical of my old 56k connection!). I have 56k selected in the simulate menu. All of this is making it difficult for me to check how my movie loads and responds under a slow connection.
I have been working on my final project for class all week. Suddenly tonight once I have finally worked through so many bugs in transfering things into the thing, I can't get the "Test Movie" option to work to view anything. I even tried to view just the scene. It keeps making these flashes and then basically stays where it's at
View 2 RepliesGreetings. I've been doing this tutorial. [URL] And worked pretty well. In order to adapt to my needs i made it a movie with a drag and drop parameter to be loaded in another movie (with loadMovie or loadMovieNum). The problem is than the movie loads, drags but doesnt drops. Even i tried with the example movie and nothing happens.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5 with AS2. However, there's this project I'm working on right now. When I simulate a download, the preloader is somehow skipped. I'm staring at a blank screen for a minute instead of a preloader and then the main menu pops up. You just see the preloader for one single frame.
Now the code for my preloader is really the standard code:
Actionscript Code:
stop();onEnterFrame = function(){
p = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal();
percent_txt.text = String(Math.round(100*p)) + " %";
if(p == 1){ nextFrame();
delete onEnterFrame;
}}
I have some code on frames 2 and 3, but I tried to see what would happen if I left it out, and the same thing occurs regardless of there being code on frames 2 and 3. All I can really tell you that may mean something is the file size is 2.9 MB. Why Flash Player doesn't just display the preloader, especially since I've never encountered this before.
I've been having a problem with my percentage preloaders today... The script comes directly from this tutorial... and I've used the same script in at least 3 other Flash movies, but this time the Flash movie doesn't run properly, and i get this error:

on the 1st i have some XML code
in the 2nd i read the XML and send to the 3rd frame and play a FLV movie. when the FLV movie ends, if goes back to the 2nd frame to "know" what is the next movie and goes again to the 3rd frame.
When i export everything is OK, when i publish and use the Mac Projector it is ok. But if i use the Fullscreen Mode, when the movie end's the Movie doesnt go back to the 2nd frame...
I followed a tutorial on gotoandlearn.com and followed it to a "T," yet cannot troubleshoot this myself. I built a simple preloader in AS2, but when I simulate the download for a Flash website in Adobe Flash CS4, all I see is a white screen, then it continues to the website. I previewed the bandwidth profile and I can see that it's working it's preloading magic; I just can't see the animation.
I looked through numerous forums and I am not using an components that are exported to the first frame -- at least that I know of. Has anyone experienced the same issue?
