ActionScript 2.0 :: Way To Make A Preloader With OnEnterFrame
Dec 2, 2005
Is there a way to make a preloader base on onEnterFrame function and then delete it after the content has finished loading? I'm asking this because I used this method for some thumbnail preloader movie but the thing is that when I end up with 30 generated thumbnails they eat up processor power because each thumnail's onEnterFrame function is running endlessly..The code I used is this one and it's placed inside the tumbnail clip where the preloader components are:[code]Now, when I want the onEnterFrame action to stop (whe teh content has finished loading) I add the following line inside the else tag:[code]but I know it's not right because the preloader doesn't show anymore...it displays for a split second at the begining of the download and then it disapears and at the end the content is displayed..

onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

I'm trying to make a preloader for a little flash project that involves re-assembling a load of rectangles to make up a pattern.Idea is that instead of the usual load bar i wanted to make use of this pattern that is relevant to the project and have it rebuild it self with these rectangles flying in from the side. So far I have got the tweening sorted using the tween class and staggered the 42 (yes took a little while, probably an easier way so let me know on that also) rectangles using 'setTimeout' so it releases each 100milliseconds after the one one before it. This probably the wrong way to do it but i wanted to check how it looked and this was the one way i knew how to do it.
I want to make it so that these rectangles fly in a complete the pattern once the loading has finished, but on a fast connection I don't want it to rush the animation but for a slow connection I obviously want it to adjust the release time and maybe even the travel speed to compensate.
I had an idea of maybe working out the percentage loaded divided by 42 and then run an if statement to see if that percentage for that segment had been reached before 100millseconds had passed, if 100 had passed then release the rectangle, if not then hold the rectangle until 100 m/s had passed. Not sure if that is the best way to do but that's why I'm looking for some suggestions from more experienced developers.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Regular;
// declare variables

How does one make a preloader in AS 3.0 for THE ENTIRE swf?
I'm certainly generally familiar with making preloaders in Flash, yet with changes to the Flash environment in the last few years, my situation may not be so straight forward:
I have a very developed Flash 3.0 application where the timeline is not used in the traditional way, everything is Class based, and there are all kinds of assets in the library that are used dynamically.
This type of preloader is useless, because (I guess) that "this.loaderInfo" is associated to the timeline (which has nothing on it) [code]...

In order to learn the ins and outs of preloaders in ActionScript 3.0 I've been working on a program in Flash CS4. The problem I'm having is that the preloader is not throwing/recieving the Progress and Complete events.
I decided to make the preloader an independant class and put it in a seperate package from the document class. I also made a second independant class to serve as a progress bar, which the preloader includes. Basically the structure of my program is Flash File>Document Class>Preloader Class>ProgressBar Class
So far the Document Class creates the Preloader and puts it on the screen (a black box with a progress bar on it so far, I'll add text later). What I'm working on now is getting it to actually preload, so that on the Progress events it increases the size of the bar untill it's completed, and then puts a play button on the stage when it recieves the Complete event.
