I am just looking for a tutorial for a simple loader bar. My flash site is quite large and as a result, a simple loading screen leads people with slower connections to believe that maybe it has crashed during load and don't wait till it's finished. A load bar would obviously show that the site is still downloading.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a simple random SWF loader to work. and I'm close...I have 10 movies saved as movie1.swf to movie10.swf saved in a directory.For my index file (swf file that will load one of the 10 movies randomly) I have one single frame with this in the actions:
stop();
var movieArray : Array = ['movie1','movie2','movie3','movie4','movie5','movi e6','movie7','movie8','movie9','movie10'];
var loader : Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(movieArray[Math.round( Math.random() * movieArray.length-1 )] + '.swf'));
addChild(loader);
For the most part it works. But every now and then the screen comes up empty on a refresh. My guess is the math might be slightly off and is calling a file that is not there.
When using Loader class to load display objects (bitmaps, SWFs...) from remote URLs, is there any way for them to be instantiated (referenced as we know, by Loader::content property) as some user specified valid subclass? For example if I had a class that extended a Bitmap, is there any way for the loaded object to be of this class?
View 9 RepliesI'm feeling a bit low now as I have been suffering this for months. A simple loader loads my simple game and runs VERY FAST on even slow pcs BUT when I build this other loader, it goes quite slowly and I don't know where the app is going wrong. WHERE is the processing consumptoin coming from out of my app.

i tryed to use just the loaders...not working..its just for mcs i think...
Sorry for the complicated topic. I got a .swf that loads in other .swfs. Rather than figuring out how to make a loader for loading .swfs I thought I'd just use a simple loader in the .swf I'm loading.
However, it doesn't work. It starts fully loaded but doesn't finish. Heres the AS:[AS]_root.stop();
PercentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100;

View 1 RepliesI am using the Loader to load an external swf into my program. Inside the external swf, I need to be able to access the Loader instance that just loaded it. Does the loader add the external swf to itself before any code inside the swf gets executed? When is it safe to access the loader via the following code?
var target:DisplayObject = this;
while(!(target is Loader) && DisplayObject(target).parent != null){
target = DisplayObject(target).parent;
}
I am trying to create a simple animation, juste a picture that need to move from left to write while rotating around the vertical axis.I tried just to have the first position normal and the final position scaled at -100% in width but it also distort and move up and down.I already did that in acstionscript but not just graphicaly.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a flash template, and when I publish the site, the loader dosnt work. I check the code in the actions menu of the .fla and I can't find an error. This is the code.
onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded / total * 100);
text = percent + "%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(4);
} // end if }

I'm loading an image with flash.display.Loader.
I want to show that image with a 5px black border.
How can I do that?
I need to do a simple progress indicator while loading an image on background. I'm using the flash.display.Loader class in what seems to be the standard way. The problem is that even though I can see that flash.display.LoaderInfo fires the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS at regular intervals using tracing, a dynamically updated text (or any other graphics object) is updated only once when the loading finishes. It looks like if the display update queued and caused only one update at the end. This is a simplified version of the function which initiates the loading:[code]

View 5 RepliesI've benn trying to get a simple socket server test to work for days now and it seems I'm not getting very far.Basically I just want to send some data from flash to the php script and have it echo it out, or anything at all like that I've been working from this tutorial http[url]....I have this basic flash class which just sends a string to the server:
Code:
package{
import flash.net.XMLSocket
import flash.display.MovieClip[code]...
The server side php is the attached script (pretty much this http:[url]....So I keep the php running on my server then run the as class, what happens is after a while (presumably the 15 second script limit in as) I get this error:
Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: .../networking.swf cannot load data from website.com:9980.at base()
Does flash.display.Loader determine the file by filename or header?
The reason why I ask is that I'm getting an IOError: "Unknown File Type" when loading an swf which has a strange filename (in the form of "filename.randomnumbersandletters.swf").
I'm loading a swf-file from my program written in as3 using the flash.display.Loader class. When I'm using the debug build configuration in FlashDevelop everything works fine. But when I'm using the release build configuration the program freezes for around two seconds efter the loader sends the progress events and before sending the complete event.
This is my program:
package
{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
After around two seconds where the program is frozen the line Completed on frame: 2 is added and the 'On frame X' counter starts ticking up. Debug build produces the same output but without the freeze.
Not all swf-files I have tried loading triggers the problem. The size of the file doesn't seem to affect anything. I have tried compiling and running on another computer with the same result.
Edit: I noticed that if the program is compiled with debug=true the flash player takes around two seconds to start, the same length of time the flash player is frozen when debug=false.
is it possible to get the total frames from a .swf being loaded via a flash.display.Loader class so i can calculate duration in seconds of the clip?

I'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.Take a look at the one here in the center of the page: [url]....I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.
When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site? Is loading SWfs even the proper way to do this? Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking? The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);[code].....
I have just started messing around with flash. I am trying to make a very simple website, it has 4 buttons and 4 sets or text. you have home, about, camp and contact. when someone clicks on the text i want the corrent text to display. My code 2.0 :
[Code]...
I have very simple code for a class: package {import flash.text.TextField; import flash.display.Sprite; public class Greeter extends Sprite { public function Greeter(){var txtHello:TextField = new TextField(); txtHello.text = "Hello World"; trace("hi"); addChild(txtHello);}}}
The above file is saved as Greeter.as in say folder C: est I then create a Fla file named test_display.fla (saved in C: est) and its contents are: import Greeter;var tt:Greeter = new Greeter(); Now the Output window shows hi due to the trace statement but the addChild method should show World in the Flash movie but it does not. The only way to get Hello World to the Flash Movie is to change the test_display.fla to:
import Greeter;var tt:Greeter = new Greeter(); addChild(tt);
In other words I have to use the addChild method twice ( once in Greeter.as and once in test_display.fla ) to get Hello World to display in the Flash movie. Does anyone know why this is so?
create a button, create a movie clip with two frames.
place a button instance in frame 2.
place a mc instance on the stage.
create another instance of the button to change the movie clip instance to frame two.
the button in the movie clip is pressed and executes a function.
here's the code
Code:
// create the button to show the button!
_root.button_instance_2.onPress = function() {
buttonClick1();
[Code].....
if, however, i use the same code on a movie clip that has only one frame it will work fine. do i need to tell the function to target the button instance any more specifically than that?
