ActionScript 2.0 :: Use A Preloader Loading Bar From Same File?
Jan 30, 2009
Can you put a loading bar on, say, frame 1 and have Flash show it? Or do you need to put in another file and load the external SWF (which I am loading is 1.8 mb) into another SWF to have a loading screen? It would be convenient if you could do it in the same file
I am currently preloading it (game.swf) from another SWF file (gameload.swf). However, game.swf's sound files are not playing, and I'm just testing it locally. All sounds exported for actionscript are not playing

what I'm trying to do is make a preloader that will preload about 20 external SWF files before it lets you get to my main file. I want to do this because my main file needs the SWFs to be ready to go once its done loading. I have looked around and i found a few ways to do this with the "if (loadedBytes>=totalBytes)" and the code loops back till the files are done loading... this would be just what i need but i cant seem to get it to work. the file just seems to start loading my files but does not loop and just runs the time-line even once i state what frames i want it to loop.

How do I know that my preloader is loading the rest of my file? I put a preloader on the first frame The rest of my web site is on the second frame If that takes too long to load up, I want the preloader to load. How do I know it is actually loading up the rest of the site? Or, is that not what a preloader actually does?

Code:
filename = ["header1.swf", "header2.swf", "header3.swf", "header4.swf", "header5.swf"];
path = "[URL]";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget);
That is the code that I am using for the container swf. I know the code works because I used it for static images and it worked fine. When I take a look and the HTML file, this is the error I get.
"A script in this movie is causing Macromedia FLash Player 7 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive."
Each of the header swf files are about 40k, and they each load AS from a single AS file. Do I need a preloader?

I have my preloader loading my main swf where I'm loading another swf that contains a background.
When my preloader is done it shows my main swf but it takes a while after that for the background to load.
Whats the easiest way to get my preloader to wait until the background swf is done loading?

I have created a preloader, and I want to tell the action script of the preloader once the file is done loading, put it away and load a new movie, or even a new flash file if i have to.here is the action script i have on the loader right now. Its just numbers counting from 1-100% and a .gif clip that plays but they are not connected in any way.
bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;[code]...
Also, my preloader ends on Frame 3 and movie would start on frame 4.

I have created a preloader in flash, with help from a tutorial, but it doesn't work properly. The preloader starts with loading on 100%. This is what I'm talking about:[url].......I created a smaller file to demonstrate my problem.
The code that I used is:
stop();
import flash.display.*;
this.stop();[code]..........

I'm creating a flash 3d website for a company. The idea is that there is one overall swf file - this holds the navigation and design. Once the user clicks on a button, it goes to frame 10, I have included the following script to load a swf file
loadMovie("deepbartesting.swf", maincontent);
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(movieClipName._currentframe==5){
[Code]....
the preloader works, but instead of going to frame 2 of that swf file, it goes to frame 2 of the overall swf that holds the navigation. Does anyone know how to get around this so that it goes to frame 2 in the same swf file as the preloader?

My xml was loading fine until I made a preloader( not made, did it with a tuto).
The preloader is on frame 1 and the xml + all items on my stage are on frame 3.
I traced the xml but it comes out undefined... What is happening ??Do I miss something else to launch my xml loading ? Here is the code for the preloader in case:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var amount:Number = this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal()*100;

Having problems with creating a simple progress bar with percentage loader recieving bytes loaded from a external swf file loading into a empty movieclip using as2. When exported the progress bar is complete and reads 100% and doesn't load the swf. Other attempts resulted with the loader not being shown and the swf being loaded, which is good but, the progress loader doesn't appear.
Here is the code I'm using.

I am trying to figure out how to add a preloader to my source, but i have an issue everything i have written is loaded externally through actionscript on frame 2, but it still shows everything loading on frame 1.
Here is what the bandwidth meter shows... it is showing everything on frame 1.
I need the preloader to load on frame1, and its not working. Instead the preloader loads with the rest of the site, and dissapears right away.

i use an action for preloading a movieclip on my website and it works the first time it downloads, but when you click on the gallery again, it doesnt load, but just shows the start of the preloader.The site:[link removed at poster's request]You can see the problem if you click on "Talk Show Hosts", wait untill it loads, click clients and then back to "Talk Show Hosts".Now it doesnt load, and its the same with the other galleries.The site works by loading an external swf file with the UILoader, the swf that is loaded is a ScrollPane that loads a Movieclip.

So I'm trying to create a preloader that uses an image as the loading bar. I have long image, somewhere around 6x1, and I would like it to load from left to right. I previously used a tutorial for create a general loading bar which used the scaleX to load. However, that won't work well for the image, as it starts squashed and only looks fine at 100%. [URL]
ActionScript Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loaderF);
function loaderF(e:Event):void

I am having trouble getting my preloader to run. I am loading images via XML into a scrollPane, when I click on an image I call the function addRoom. The images are taking longer to load than I expected so I wanted to add a preloader. My image is loading but I can't see the preloader.
ActionScript Code:
//create a container to hold the rooms images
var roomContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();[code]........

I was working on this flash for a website. I was using swish max2 to create the flash, then after I finish the flash, I checked it on my pc before uploading it to the site, it worked fine. After I've uploaded it to the site the preloader doesn't finish loading. I've to refresh it again and again to make it complete to 100%. I tried to reduce the size from 700kbps to 409kbps by removing and optimizing pictures inside the flash but it still stops loading. I tried to put it on another site and preview it alone by typing the url for the flash file, but it's still the same.

I am writing a preloader to load an external SWF. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;[code]...
Etc. It keeps going until I close the movie.For some reason it's continually trying to load the movie...and I have no idea what. I literally copy and pasted the loader from a different (working) loader and swapped out the URL to the file.

we have a website online the last few days, narrowcastmedia.co.za. Everything works well but the only prob encountered so far is our main preloader (positioned on the 1st frame, once loaded it sends you to frame 3 where the rest of the code lies), the preloader itself only is visible when starting around 80/90%. I want to be able to see the preloader loading the site from 0%. Ive changed the settings of AS2 where i export the classes in frame 3. it helps a little bit but still the preloader starts now from around 60/70% and still not from 0%. A AS file is attached so you guys can have a look at the code behind the preloader.

I have a preloader(as3) that is working great, I use FlashVars to pass it what movie it is loading, then it loads that movie, and shows it on the stage after loaded. I would like to make this a bit more dynamic. Right now I can use the same preloader for any movie so long as the movie and the preloader is the same size. I would like to pass the size of the movie im loading to the preloader with flashvars just like im passing it the file path for the movie itself. Here is how im passing the movie:
var swfLocation = this.loaderInfo.parameters.flashPath;
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfLocation);
now i just access the variable wherever i want to say load the movie
I tried:
var swfHeight = this.loaderInfo.parameters.flashHeight;
var swfWidth = this.loaderInfo.parameters.flashWidth;
stage.stageHeight = swfHeight;
stage.stageWidth = swfWidth;
then in my flashvars i have a value of flashPath=<?=path?>&flashHeight=<?=height?>&flashW idth=<?=width?> (passing these to the embed and object using php btw)

I have created a very basic preloader using flash components 'Loader' and 'ProgressBar". It's job is to load an external swf movie clip/file.
Problem: When the preloader has finished doing it's 'thing', i.e. reaches 100%, it loads/or seeming reveals the external movie already underway i.e. not at the first frame.
I've read a few posts from "Whispers", and have concluded that the problem is that the movie is streaming whilst being loaded. And also that i need to be using "init" in regards to 'listener'.
However i really want to be able to apply this to the code i am using it, as i had just kinda gotten to grips with it (the code).
Is anyone able to tell me what a need to alter to get the preloader to finish loading the movie COMPLETELY before it starts to play.
------------
myProgressBar.mode = "manual";
myProgressBar.setProgress(0, 100);
myProgressBar._visible = true;

First of I'm using Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 I'm trying to make a photo gallery for my website. I have the gallery all setup and made and now I need a preloader for loading my images. Right now my gallery is setup like this:
-A list of clickable thumbnails. (20 thumbnails)
-A UILoader
-You click a thumbnail and it loads an external image into the UILoader.
Actionscript: I have an array with 20 images. I have 20 different event listeners for each thumbnail.
The eventlistener looks like this:
thumbs.thumbs1.t1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, loadP1);
The function looks like this:
[Code]....
The UILoader is inside 2 moveclips because of a transition effect I have. The buttons are also 2 movieclips deep because of motion tweens.specific reason.

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.

Basically I have this one level "stencil.swf" which is a page showing thumbnails.when you click on one of the thumbnails it does an onrelease / loadmovie that loads an above level of one the works ("stencil1.swf", "stencil2.swf" etc etc) pertaining to the thumbnail you clicked..What the problem is when you click a thumbnail some of those external swf's take a while to load and you can't tell anything is happening. I know I need to put a preloader on the main stencil level to show that it's loading something above, but I don't know where? is there a way to run a preloader when you onrelease?
looking around this site I've found you can do a levelXX.getbytes in the main level so that it will tell you something is loading above, but I don't know how this can work for me in my case because they load onrelease, where would I put these loaders for each thumbnail? I'm stuck, and I have 2 more pages with similar problems. because they are loading when you click a button...click here for files
files include
"stencil.fla" - which is the main level
"stencil1.swf" "stencil2.swf" "stencil3.swf" "stencil4.swf" etc - the swf's that load in
