I have a preloader with directions to view the swf. But it goes so quickly that you can read the directions. Is there a way to put a delay in the preloader before it begins the swf file??This is my code in the preloader...
ActionScript Code:
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Final.swf");
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I have a flex repeater for an accordion inside a TitleWindow that is quite slow, I've already set recycleChildren to true, which has helped, but it's still slow on the first load and causes the animation to stutter when I open the TitleWindow.
The repeater is just one part of what's visible in the TitleWindow, what I would like to do is have the repeater load after the rest of the content in the TitleWindow so the animation of the TitleWindow being opened doesn't stutter (the main problem).
I have a rather large flash piece (17MB) that has a preloader that doesn't appear immediately.The screen remains black and then after a pause, the preloader pops up with 20% already loaded.I'm unsure if the file is so large that it takes that long for it to run calculations,or if something is different with flash 8,or what is hanging things up. On the preload scene I have one .gif that is 6.5kb when compressed, a simple vector button, and a vector based graphic for a cursor change that has the appropriate script attached.I would like to either correct the problem or create a preloader for the preloader. Here's the script I'm using:
myLoaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
myTotal = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
myPercent = myLoaded/myTotal;[code]........
I'm having a big of a problem, basically when I'm loading an external SWF file, I place in the stage the preloader, I have three symbols for the preloader, the loadbar, that loads across the stage, a circle animation, and a dynamic text that shows the description what is loading. Well when the preloader comes to the displayList, the dynamic text seems to fly off the stage, but when I do a trace statement of the x and y value of the text, it shows 413, but it still goes off the stage. I'm not sure exactly why I'm getting this. The dynamic text is embedded inside a movieclip, and I move the x/y value of the movie clip.

i have a slideshow with a delay of for example 3 seconds, and a preloader which is a line with a 100px final length.i start preloading next image.now if the time until next image loads is longer than slideshow delay, i will show next image as soon as it loads.if the time until next image loads is shorter that than slideshow delay, i want to wait additional time until delay and then show the image.the problem is how do i represent smooth line width grow (being enter frame or tween) by calculating/comparing 2 values together (delay and loader percent, which goes from 0 - 100) ?if my line growth represent just a slideshow delay, then when it gets to an end, if next image still hasnt loaded, then it wont look good if line has come to an end, but i still have to wait.
View 4 RepliesI have a clip that's 1450 pixels wide, masked to 725 - basically a left side, and a right side. The left side will contain navigation for a portfolio, which when clicked, the movie plays 10 frames during which a movie clip called portholder will slide over from the right, and load the appropriate movie clip. Here's the code on one of the bits of navigation:

Essentially, I'm trying to replicate the effect Your Majesty is using. I'm sure there's a way of using actionscript to slide portholder back and forth, instead of using animation, but alas I'm not a scripter (as you can tell!). But what I'd REALLY like to do is to tell the container clip to wait until it's fully in position before loading whatever.swf, as opposed to having a movie already in progress moving across the screen. Basically tell portholder "Wait until your x value is 0 before loading whatever.swf" I thought about using the setInterval, as recommended to someone else on these forums, so tried:

After pushing a button I like a movieclip to delay for lets say three seconds before it appear. This action don't have to repeats itself!
View 3 RepliesMy problem is the next. I am making a kind of gallery using an xml file.
Now ,when i attach a movieclip for each generated item i have into my main mc, "this movieclip is kind of a holder for an image with some information and a button" They come up all at once , i would like them so show up ,for example 500 msec after each one.
so i thought i could accomplish this with setInterval , but with no luck for now
The code that attaches it is:
Code:
for (var g=offset; g < fin ; g++) {
var BoxHolder = moviecl.attachMovie("new_item","item"+my_counter, my_counter);

View 3 RepliesI want to replicate one of the Flasheff's function with AS2 script. The delay show function, where I can set how many seconds should a movieClip wait before it actually shows up.For example, I create 3 vector shapes on the stage. I convert them to movieClips (symbols). Instance names:
- one_mc;
- two_mc;
- three_mc;
When I test the movie, I want one_mc to show up right away, then after 1 second two_mc to show up, then after another second three_mc to show up, you get the idea.

apologies if this question doesn't seem very clear, i'm finding it difficult to describe what i mean.can i make object move 'out of view' in a movieclip?for example, in the same waya movieclip can move offstage, i'm trying to find a way to make the content of a movieclip move out of view to the side but within the scope of the movieclip.so if i have a square movieclip size x=100 y=100 with a circle size 10 in the centre, i'm trying to make it so when my circle moves to the left more than the size of the movieclip it starts to move out of view.another example would be if i had a character on a television (the screen being the movieclip
View 3 Repliesi want to have the same movieclip showing up multiple times at different locations on the screen. i don't want to create multiple instances just cuz it seems less "efficient", so it'd be neat if there's a way to do this.essentially what i'm trying to do is have a the user see the same movieclip but with different things on top of the movieclips, and if the user does something to do the movieclip in one location (ie: click to change a tile in the movieclip), i want that to take effect in all locations.i could just add event listeners to each tile in all the movieclip to have the same effect independent of which movieclip you click the tile in, but i'm hoping i can avoid this.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.

I have a scene where there are 10 artist names. Each artist name is a button with a rollover image. The first artist name has an uploadMovie command in the timeline to show an image immediatly when the user opens the page.
_root.attachMovie("anne_01", "screen",1);_root.screen._x =417.9;_root.screen._y =135.7;
How do I unload that movieclip when the user scrolls over the nine remaining buttons? I know it is an unload command but I am not sure what the code should be or where I should put it. I have tried to put an unload command on the other buttons but I had no luck~
I'm about to have to write a web page/app that will serve the agenda for circa 100 people on a page. One line per person, one column per day with 3 clickable zones in each cell. In HTML, the page is way complex for the browser to load quick and there is no possibility to click on a border between 2 cells to for example split an event that spreads among several cells. So I search an not too overkilling technology to render this kind of view. I begun with a PHP generated HTML page but the number of elements in the page make the mouse move jerky.
Moving to JAVA would give me better performances regarding the reuse of the generator of the view but it will still be an HTML page. So, here is my question: do you think that going forward with JAVA and its graphical capability is the simple solution or is Flash a better option for this part of a Web App? I'm afraid of the code I'll have to write in JAVA to handle the GUI presentation as well as the events generated by the 1000's cells plus borders of the page. In Flash, the graphical part seems simpler even if the actions handling is still huge.
I'm currently using RobotLegs with the Presentation Model pattern to develop a Flex 4 project. I understand that all business logic related to a View resides in the Presentation Model associated with that view, however, I am confused when it comes to View specific logic.For example, I have an indicator that needs to be positioned relatively to list items depending on which list item is selected. Is it acceptable in the Presentation pattern to put the logic that will position the indicator in the View and simply have that logic run in reaction to a selectedIndex property changing in the presentation model?The reason I am considering this is that since the Presentation Model does not have a reference to the view it is difficult to come up with an ideal solution for manipulating view components.

I have one .mxml file (the Application) with a ViewStack (with 4 views) and a ControlBard, obviously I can change the views with it, but what I want to do is: in view #1 I have an image which I want to convert to a "hyperlink", so when I click it I go to View #2, is this doable? Also I would like to pass somehow some data (like a String) to that View #2 (lets say the it's a user avatar I click so I want to go to the second view which will show me his profile, that's why I need his name/id).

Basically you cannot move in the file to edit anything viewpoint wise, everything outside of the movie area is invisible and not there? As if cropped.
How do I make an external movieclip preloader? Anyone know of a good tutorial because I have been trying for the past 12 hours to get a preloader to work(no not 12 hours straight lol). My file is 2.6 mb so I really need the preloader. Or if there are any free programs that make preloaders that would be good too. Or any components that have a tutorial with them(also needs to be free).

Here's the code I'm using:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
