I have a preloader in the first frame of my movie but when i test it, it takes awhile before anything shows up because the components that i am using in the movie all seem to be added in the first frame even though the actual component is in another frame. Is there any way to get around this?
View 1 RepliesI have my swf (embedded in a JSP page) deployed in Sun Application Server. My swf contains a Loader component which loads image through accessing the url of my servlet. This servlet of mine returns an image. Now, when i try it inside our network, it works both for IE and FireFox. But when i try it on an external network, the Loader loads the image for IE but it doesn't for FireFox. I'm doubting it is an acess problem since it works in IE.
View 4 RepliesI have two swf files, each one almost with the same classes, the most important one is a Singleton class, each swf does "singleton.getInstance()". The diference is that one swf is like a container and the other one is like a module. So when the container loads the module from an absolute path like loader.load("file://c:/modules/module.swf") or loader.load("[URL]"), two different singletons (same class) are created
But when the container loads from a relative path like loader.load("module.swf") , just one singleton is created (that is what I want) I am just intrigued with this behavior, could someone explain me this? PD: I believe is something related to loaderContext and applicationDomain but It also appears that isn't working right. -Patricio Foieri , Vertigo Labs
i have a main loader swf file called loader.swf and it loads an RSL.swf (runtime shared library for my swf files) and then 10 swf files, each one to a container (fE.: movieclip '01' in loader.swf, then movieclip '02' and so on). the 10 swf files have a lot of references to RSL.swf, and i have to use RSL.the problem is when loader.swf loads the RSL and the other 10 swfs the loader throws errors like this:
Code:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***[code]...
then i put in EVERY swf files (loader,RSL and the other 10) the code Security.allowDomain ("*") but throws the same errors...
I'm having problems with this flash project. I have a folder with a swf file and in it you have like 5 Loader components which in their content path directs to perticular pictures in that folder. It works fine offline, you know I open the swf file and you can see the pictures.When I insert this swf file in dreamweaver and upload the site it doesnt work. Yea you can see the swf file, but not the images. In Safari you have this activity window, where you can debug and see what the problem is. Apprently for some odd reason it says that the images are not found, because it's looking in the wrong directory.
View 4 Replies[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.
View 3 RepliesThe SWF loads itself almost entirely before even displaying Frame 1 (the pre-loader). Said pre-loader exists in it's own scene; when this scene is exported on it's own, the file size is 1.6 megs (the full export of all scenes is 1.9 megs). There is VERY little content in the preloader, in fact, a blank first scene exported on it's own is ALSO 1.6 megs. There is, however, a lot of content throughout the rest of the file (music, graphics, font, all embedded at the request of a client).It looks sort of like it's trying to ensure that some arbitrary amount of the resources are present before the first frame loads.
I used to be deep into Flash way back in the CS3 days, but haven't touched it since; the result is I am fairly familiar with AS3 but CS5's new features (many of which seem to replace entirely code-oriented methods with point and click methods) often times make me scratch my head, so you'll have to forgive me if this is the sort of 'five times a week question' y'all are numb to by this point.but I'm still not entirely sure.I've already scraped every last little bit of that awful TLF text stuff from the project, and I've fiddled with the action script settings but haven't had any luck.I'm not exactly sure what code to post here, as little of it seems relevant (after all, the problem appears to be happening before anything I've written runs). Please, though, if there's anything I can do to make this more clear, I'm totally willing to oblige.
I have a UI loader that loads pictures from a drop down selection. I would like the data to be cached after it is loaded, but it doesn't seem to be doing this. Every time someone selects something different in the drop down, the image reloads.

View 2 RepliesI used syntax I found here AS3: add event listener to loaded swf
[Code]...
MySWF loads without problem. It doesn't really returns the class mySWF so I wonder if this is really the right syntax. And actually I don't receive anything. I am of course dispatching custom event from mySWF. Flash seems really a nightmare to cope with custom events in practice compared to other platforms.
I need to load (dynamically) an image stored in the library of Adobe Flash to the loader component. So far, i have imported this image to the library and exported it to ActionScript under the linkage section. I have named its identifier as well.

View 3 RepliesI have a class that loads a list of images in an XML file. The XML file can potentially contain any number of image URLs.Would it be advised to call Loader.load() in a for each loop, causing every image to be loaded concurrently? Will there be a point at which the number of concurrent loads is too much for the system or the bandwidth, or does flash have some sort of intrinsic load management?
View 6 Repliesi just setup this loader i found on the net:
Code:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);[code]....
what i dont understand is that everytime i click the refresh page the loader shows up again(this time loading the image faster) but if the image is already in cache the loader should not show at all (?),i would like to achieve a loader that loads the image and after dont come up again everytime.
I am using a content loader through AS3 to load some images and then later pushed into an array. I have pushed my image file paths in to an array (arrayImages). But when the loader loads the images it doesn't load the images based on the order they are listed in the arrayImages, instead they were loaded based on their file sizes. Is there anyway that these can be loaded in the order they were pushed to the array? Below is the code that i use to load the images.
function funcLoadImages() {
for (var i:uint=0; i<arrayImages.length; i++) {
var ldrImageLoader:Loader=new Loader();
ldrImageLoader.load(new URLRequest(arrayImages[i]));ldrImageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,pushLoadedImagetoAnotherArray);
}

Google calendar is available to be embed into a HTML website.. But I have a Flash site.. I want to load that calendar into my site.. It has an option for a button. But would like to have the entire calendar view. Can this be loaded into a dynamic text box or a loader component??? Does anyone have a clue how to do this... Or create a monthly calendar with events.. I can't seem to find one anywhere, I am sure it can be done.. but not very good with AS.

I'm a new Flash user, trying to build a fairly intricate website by newbie standards. I have a basic understanding of Actionscript and OOP, enough to build a fairly nice looking full-featured website. Most of my goals for the website have been met, including dynamic XML content, a dynamic navigation menu, dynamic screenshot galleries.My current nemesis is a flash video gallery. I'm using xml lists of video locations (different types of video, including flv, wmv, and avi), and I've tried both the stock CS4 video player component (FLVPlayback) and the ubiquitous ToobPlayer 1.0.
Here's the problem. When I compile the video and view it offline, with either player component, it works beautifully! Loads each video from the XML gallery and performs as requested. When I upload it to an FTP and run the website (in an html file) as an http:// link, the video player component is no longer visible and nothing playsIt's driving me ape! Do I need to include some .as files when I upload or something?
Everything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:
on(release) {
loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0);
}
The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.
My loader component works when I publish to Flash Player 7 but not when I publish to Flash Player 8, why? The publish setting are for ActionScript 2.0 on both.
View 2 Replieshave a swf that plays an flv in the flvplayback component. Currently, I have an external preloader that loads the swf, then once the swf is displayed the flvplayback component buffers. I would like the external preloader to also load the flv buffer. I had done it before it AS2 by having the first 50% of the preloader be the swf,and then have the flvplayback component invisible and have the last 50% of the preloader do the flv buffer.Maybe this is a crazy solution, is there a much easier and logical way to do this?My real problem is that my external preloader loads the swf and the preloader bar using the addChild method and I can't figure out how to have the swf communicate with it's sibling to update the progress bar on the progress of the flvplayback component.

The progress bar doesn't work if the .swf movie that's being loaded is being loaded into another movie. If the loader is on the main stage it works fine both in testing and on the internet.For example, I created a parent movie and a child movie with a loader and progressBar. The child movie works perfectly by itself. If I load the child movie into the parent movie the progressBar doesn't work.

View 8 RepliesI have a flash file for a website section. I inserted a Loader component component to load a .swf file, and set the "scaleContent" property (in the Component Inspector) to True, but the .swf loads tiny, like a thumbnail. I also set the minimum dimensions (400x300), but this seems to have zero effect. I also have the size of the loader component set to 424x350. I have played with both sets of these numbers to no effect.
Here is where I've uploaded the file for testing: [URL] If you click any 1 of the 4 images, it will load 1 of 4 .swf files within (but very small).
Furthermore...the size of the embedded videos is not always consistent. Sometimes, after re-uploading the main file, Some of the 4 videos will be correctly sized, but if visited more than once, they return to being small. Very weird.
P.S. I have attached a screen capture of the Flash program, showing the component inspector and properties.

I have an app which takes data from php - MYSQL, loads into flash and now im just displaying it using attachMovie to use an MC from the library..In this data there is a imageurl stringI want to use the imageurl string as the loader components content path.

_root.image.contentPath = "images/2.jpg";
Works fine.

I am creating a photo gallery using the loader component, however some of the jpgs are around 240k so I want to add a custom preloader. The issue I am having trouble with is... how do I set up a preloader that I have made to activate when the loader component loads a new jpg via the myLoader.contentPath = "sample.jpg"???
I am using a sliding thumbnail gallery w/ a static main image behind.
Anyone have a tip for settingup a preloader for the loader? Never had much luck making preloader.
I am using the loader component to place images on the main timeline.My goal is to use a folder with multiple images.How can I modify the AS 2.0 code from myLoader.contentPath = "image.jpg";?I know it should start with:myLoader.contentPath = myVariable;How do I define myVariable to mean the path of the folder with multiple images?The folder will contain 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
