ActionScript 3.0 :: Despite All Effort - Preloader Still Not Displaying First
Aug 15, 2009
I don't export a single thing to the first frame.I removed all references to absolutely everything (except my preloader - which is about 10kb) from my document class.The only reference to my main class is a MovieClip which links to it placed on Frame 3 (Frame 2 is reserved for asset loading and is skipped by the preloader). Yet still, when I simulate a download I sit staring at a white screen until the entirety of my main class and the resources it uses have loaded. Heck, I even got desperate enough to try having my preloader goToAndStop(4) after it finished (frame 4 is completely blank and there is no frame 5). The swf stayed the same size and the loading behaviour didn't change.
EDIT I also attempted, and got working, a multi-swf version. However, my submission medium only accepts single swf work, so unfortunately this option isn't available to me.
END EDIT I would, of course, be willing to provide any other information if it may be relevant.

I have a string in XML format and I want to use this string as flex XML type as following : This is my string :
<Graph>
<Node id="1" name="1" nodeColor="0x333333" nodeIcon="center" x="10" y="10" />
<Node id="2" name="2" nodeColor="0x333333" nodeIcon="center" x="10" y="10" />[code].....
I cant pass this to an API, it complains that this is string and it expects an XML type. How can i convert this string to XML with minimum effort, ie: without iterating the string and the nodes etc. Is there such method as : var data:XML = new XML(str:String);

I have made a preloader and the problem is that at the start it displays NaN. And the code is like this:
ActionScript Code:
thumb_load.onEnterFrame = function() {
var gbl = imageLoader.getBytesLoaded();
var gbt = imageLoader.getBytesTotal();
var pro = Math.round(gbl/gbt*100);
thumbProce_mc.procent.text = pro + "%";
if (!isNaN(pro) && gbl == gbt && pro != 0 && imageLoader._width>20) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;

I'm constructing a website in flash, and on each page of the website I have a dymanic text field pulling data from a .txt file for that page, (the news page has a dymanic text field called "newsText" which pulls data from "news.txt" for example) The website im working on is here: [URL] If you have a slower internet connection, whenever you click on the link to a new page, a small white square will appear in the corner before the content has fully loaded, this white square is a result of the scrollbar being disabled due to the content not being loaded yet (and thus having nothing to define wether or not it should need to scroll)
as the website grows in content this will become more and more of a problem. My actionscript ability is really limited. So whats the simplest way I can add a preloader to the page to load the content of the .txt file before displaying it?

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?

My project Home Page contains several 'heavy' instances on stage. So as to entertain a visitor while all they are loading I start preloading transition. However despite all my efforts my custom preloader delays displaying preloading progress for a while: althoug preloader wheel rotates, progress value displays as 0% for several seconds - from 1-3 seconds in normal browsers up to 5-6 seconds in Safari (which I consider to be worst one for Flash). if someone could clarify me whether I should listen for ALL the children loading progress so as to fix this issue or just never mind (e.g. every button on stage consists of two VideoPlayers, one TLFTextField, one Timer, two Sprites and one attached sound; now I'm listening for two VideoPlayers loading progress only...)

My preloader keeps displaying an error when I try and load my SWF in it.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Main()
The swf works fine but the loader doesn't work with it. I worked out that it was because I used "stage" in the eventlisteners of the SWF file but if I remove these the game keys don't work, but the loader does.

I just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.

I'm wrapping up a small corporate website, but I left the preloader to do until the very end, so instead of changing any layout of my View, I just moved everything to frame 2, and put the preloader on frame 1. I'm using some of the code here: http:[url].... which seems pretty ace.
The problem I'm having though is that CS5's built in preloader is going and loading the whole swf, then it runs my preloader (on frame 1) which causes it to move strait to frame two instantly (I changed it so now it at least plays through the animation then moves on, but it's still not loading anything during that screen).that is causing flash to load the entire swf before even playing my preloader on frame 1. I don't remember having this problem in CS4.

I have started to put together a flash piece. When I preview it, it displays as it should, however if I export the movie and then view the swf it doesn't display the animations from within one of the folders. I have made sure that the layers aren't hidden.

My SWF works well in all three browsers when tested on my local system: Firefox, IE and Safari.However,when tested from the server FireFox and Safari both do not complete a portion of the SWF motion.I have a number of dots that move in from different directions then line up followed by moving text and objects. in both Firefox and Safari the dots only begin to move then the SWF move on to display the other objects correctly.Am I looking at a timing issue or a loading issue?The site is [url].... view the top banner.

I have been searching the forum and also the Internet how to display the special characters such as &, +, < > from db using ASP and Flash. Unfortunately I am not able to find the correct solution yet. I have tried "System.useCodepage = false;" in flash and also use the following in my loading asp file
Code:
response.write "data1=" & Server.HTMLEncode(rs("data1")) & "&" &"data2=" & Server.HTMLEncode(rs("data2")) & "&" &"data3=" & rs("data3") & "&"
Whenever I typed the "&" on flash input text, it will be saved on DB but when I load the text back to flash, whatever text that is after the "&" is gone.

So i've created an interface for a lobby display. It's running on a 52" LCD (1280x768). I have the computer hard wired to the display (HP Laptop with standalone flash player) and have the same resolution settings set on it. Now, I built the interface on my Mac desktop and have the stage set to 1280x768.
The kicker: When i run it on the display, there's a lot of extra vertical space at the bottom. When i change the resolution to 1280x1024, it fills the screen vertically properly, but then shortens it horizontally.
