ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash CS3 Preloader Only Works As Export?
Feb 11, 2009
I made a preloader for a flash slideshow with different announcements in AS 3.0.When I export the movie to preview it everything works fine. The loading rectangle fills up and then you see the slideshow. The problem comes after I embed it in HTML. Instead of the Preloader to show all i get is a white rectangle the size of the SWF and then the slideshow begins. It's as if it was ignoring the preloader completely. I don't understand why it works when I export it but not on the actual site.
Heres my preloader script:
Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loadingInfo);
function loadingInfo(e:Event):void {

I just discovered a strange thing : I have a preloader in all my swfs. All work great online and when I test the swf or the preview in html exepted 1 : the first swf to be loaded called homepage.Here is the schema of the site : HTML page is linked ( with a enter btn)to the 1st swf called Homepage. No preloader gets visible and so, the swf takes a long time to load after clicking the enter button of the html page.Note : the html page is visible until the swf is totally loaded....

When I add linkage to the music file I'm using I need to select 'export in first frame' in order for the play/mute button to work. But when I do this the preloader doesn't show up until about 80%. Is there a way around using export in first frame while still having usable play/mute buttons.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to get my audio to load without exporting it in the 1st frame. In other projects where I use components, in the linkages panel, I deselect 'export in first frame', and put an instance of the component in an assets frame. That way the preloader opens right away and the components loadup in the second frame (which just gets jumped over when the movie plays). I'm trying to do this with my linked audio but it won't work. When I deselect export in first frame, I just get no audio. In the assets frame I have the actionscript

I am currently building an animated intro page for a website and have built a preloader for it following the Preloading in ActionScript3 tutorial. When I test my movie and simulate the download, all works perfectly. However after uploading it onto the the web to test it out, I encountered a problem. The page just remains static, with the percentage stuck on 100 and the main content swf doesn't load. Here is a link to this page causing me grief, [URL]

I'm trying to preload external swf files as needed and show the progress each time a file is being preloaded. It works exactly as intended when I simulate it on my desktop but not at all when uploaded on the web: first of all nothing happens up until 50% of the main movie is already loaded and then when the the attempt is being made to load additional content, some weird number displays (-214...%) instead of the percentage.

I'm working on a website ([URL] - don't think the flash file can be seen in FF yet) and I want to load an swf-file with some illustrations and such. As this could get a little big, I have made another swf-file which shows a preloader and loads the first swf-file. The preloader works perfectly when tested in Flash CS3, but when uploaded to and tried on my webhost's server, the preloader doesn't load anything. Instead it of the load-percentage it just writes "NaN". You can find the as3-code down below. The preloader-swf and the swf to be loaded are located in the same folder. Both are as3.
This is the code from my as-class file:
package classes{
// Imports necessary classes
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;

I have a big problem with preloader for my flash site. It works on one server but when i try it on another server it does not work. On site where it does not work it displays Infinity in IE and all the time 100% in firefox but in flash when traced preloader works and on another server too. It is the same file.Is there any specific function or mode that server must have or enable for a preloader to work.

It is really annoying since the one not working is where i am hosting my page.

But ive noticed an anomaly. When i test the movie (with simulate download settings ofcourse so that you can actually see the preloader work) the preloader shows only from 90% onwards to 100% and then the page loads up. Which means when i run the movie, the result is a blank frame for quite sometime, when actually the preloader should be showing but it doesnt, instead its just the project default window color, then it starts the preloader at the frag end of the bytes coming in, so it only shows 95%-100% and then the page loads.
The same preloader method (2 looping frames with its AS2) works perfectly in front of the keyframe that contains another webpage, Home.swf which is a seperate file and things work perfectly there.o i put a trace into the 2 looping frames to see whats going on with the acquired bytes variable. I was shocked to see that the preloader loop isnt even running. It running itself only at 94% onwards and then ofcourse reports the percentage on the screen correctly. But till 94% its not able to sense the bytes getting loaded. It senses only after 94% and then starts reporting it.

I would like to add preloader with progress bar to my AS3 page. It's an image gallery. The preloader is on frame 1 and the content is on frame 2. It seems like that the loader works after all the content is loaded. And the progress bar doesn't appear on the screen. What am I doing wrong? For the quick view, the code is below. I also attach the code. To make it simple, I am testing the code with just one image.
frame 1
Code: Select allstop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loadF);

Here's the code I'm using to call the preloader and call the movie. I got this basic code (now modified for this example) from a nice person on this forum. I put it into different frames that a user's click would activate - and therefore download the jpg into that frame.That works after the user clicks into each frame. BUT ON THE FIRST FRAME, it doesn't work. The code just like this below DOES download the movie, but doesn't launch the preloader.
stop();
_level0.containerMC.loadMovie("HTTP://www.yoururlhere.com/yourimage.jpg");
/* movie loads */

My portfolio is a combination of elements from Kirupa's gallery and my own.The portfolio works fine but the loader just doesn't work correctly. It can be tested at URL...In Firefox the loadbar flashes once(which it shouldn't do) and the dynamic text box displays a NaN% and then 100% so something isn't being defined correctly. In IE 6.5 however there is no NaN% displayed, the preload bar flashes once and then works fine. I don't know why there would be a difference between browsers.Please take a look at the code below and let me know why the files being loaded into the picture container aren't correctly preloading. It's been a week of working on this endless portfolio and I just want it to be over.[code]

If anyone has a minute, can you look at this script and spot the flaw. I got it fron[URL].. It MOSTLY works, the bar travels across as it is loading, but the dynamic elements (percent loaded, # of bytes loaded vs. # bytes total) are blank areas. Haven't a clue. I can e-mail you the Flash file, I saw no provision to upload it to this Forum.

I've written a simple preloader which I've put in its own movie clip. The code is as follows:
[code]...
The code works out a value between 0 and 1 called 'loadVal' this is used to animate a masking object a distance defined by a variable called 'yShift'. loadVal is rounded up to give a whole number that is displayed in a text field showing the percentage of the movie which has loaded.The preloader seems to be running and it will trigger the move to play when it completes but I can't see the preloader previewing in the Bandwidth Profiler, even when I set the data speed to be very slow. I've noticed this issue before and it is annoying as I need to see how the preloader looks and works.

my site is comprised of several images loaded dynamically and added to the display list. i declare a bunch of loaders on the first frame, and add a preloader progress listener to the largest image to have one preloader for all the assets. I then added a COMPLETE listener to the same image, and add that image, along with all the others in the onComplete function. i have two issue. the preloader doesnt work in Safari. but works fine in Firefox? and i'm totally stumped on what it could be? another compatibility issue that seems to be arising is that one of the galleries of my site which corresponds to the "drawn" link. also does not seem to be working in Safari, but works in Firefox. its a fairly simple xml based image gallery, which loads thumbs on to the stage, and then loads a larger version of each, when the corresponding thumbnail is clicked. the other galleries of the site work fine in safari, and are basically the same code wise.heres my code for the loading and preloader in the first frame
Code:

At run time, Is it possible to detect the 'Connection Speed of the user' and change the way my preloader works? Say If the user is on a Dial up connection then play the initial 50% of the movie that has been loaded while loading the remaining 50% in background, If the user is on DSL or cable then load the entire 100% movie and so on.

Main timeline- first frame...preloader.second frame... mc; within that mc I am using the "export for action script" propery in the properties panel on another mc...the problem - the "export for action script" is over-riding my preloader. When I check the "export in first frame" to off, the mc no longer functions....This can't be right, can it? If you use "export for action script" will you no longer be able to use a preloader?

I have a movie clip (with instance name rectangle_mc) on the stage. Within this movie clip there are two separation animations on the timeline. The ROLL_OVER animation starts on frame "over" and the MOUSE_OUT animation starts on frame "off." If I roll over the movie clip, the initial animation plays, and when I mouse out the other animation plays to restore it to it's initial state. However, once the rollover animation has played once, it will not play again when I roll over it again, but for some reason the MOUSE_OUT plays every time.

I've been trying to export my .fla as a .mov from the Export>Export Movie option in the File menu. It will start exporting but once the progress meter gets to the end it just stops and never finishes.
I don't think it has anything to do with:
A: multiple scenes
B: actionscript directing to each scene
C: movieclips
since I was doing the exact same thing in CS3 without a problem.
What i'm doing now in CS4 that I wasn't in the CS3 version:
A: Motion tweens
B: importing .ai files to my library
C: using symbols created for flash in illustrator from imported .ai files.
