ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Creating Preloaders For A Basic Page
Jan 14, 2010
I've had no problem creating preloaders for a basic page. I have a gallery with a preloader on the main page. It works fine. You can click thumbnails to see large photos that are on separate swf files. Everything worked fine when there were no preloaders on the individual swfs. But later I added preloaders to each individual swf file and now they do not load - just a big fat "0% Loaded" screen.
I'm doing something wrong. Perhaps the preloader should be contained within the loader that is displaying the individual swf files? Maybe the individual swfs do not need their own preloaders? I'm over my head in AS 3.0

I've started using the 3D capabilities of Flash CS4 recently, particularly with respect to transforming the rotation and translation properties of movie clips with AS3. Which is fine for planar shapes, but I want to know how to create true 3D objects that I can similarly manipulate. The problem is, that although there are plenty of excellent tutorials covering simple changes in X, Y and Z properties, there seems to be a distinct lack of tutorials explaining in simple terms how to go about creating, say, a basic cube that can be displayed and transformed dynamically. Adobe's Flash CS4 files mention perspective projection and the Matrix3D object, but I don't find these section particularly clear. What I would like to do, for starters, is create a simple cube to which I can apply x, y and z axis transformations in the same way I can to movie clips.

I am working on my first Flash project with AS3.The structure of the flash site is pretty simple. I have a stage 1165px wide x 710px height Inside my Stage I have an horizontal bar with a menu followed by a container right under.
is that whenever I click on one of the button on the menu, that the related external .SWF loads into the container with a preloading bar and %. I already did all my .SWF files.

I am a very basic user on adobe flash, basically all I use Flash for at this moment is to create animated gif or basic SWF website banners. The problem that I am encountering at this moment is that when I export to an animated GIF the image quality becomes pixelated (see sample image below), where if i export the same work to an SWF it appears normal, I have tried several different combinations on the settings when saving the GIF but everytime I get the same results.
I would only use SWF formats but our website does not support SWF in every section.

I seem to be getting a funny problem whenever people click a bit too early on another link whilst a movieclip file is loadingthe prime example is here, you click to enter the site, then a .swf loads within a MC to give you the "homepage" content (in this case some rather pretty girls wearing some t-shirts) the problem comes when the user gets bored of waiting too long and decides to click else where, for example, the user clicks on events.This then begins loading the events.swf file into the loader_MC I have, and once loaded begins mass playing the file constantly ( warning, it does flash very quickly, so if that sort of thing set you off, dont click it =O!)This is what my preloader code looks like in the loading files (such as home.swf, events.swf, etc
ActionScript Code:
mycallback = setInterval(preloader, 10);
//function to be called to test for download

Creating a dynamic scroll panel using two objects from my library and accessing images from a folder using some basic XML. The ScrollPanel loads fine, the 6 instances of the empty movieclip holders load. The function that traces the instance of the movieClip names is working. My trouble is accessing the instances of the movies to load the loaders in order to view the jpgs called from the folder. I receive an "access of undefined property" message if I type thumbLoad0.addChild(pic1ldr); etc, which you will see at the very bottom.

I am trying to create a simple login page, once the user has logged in successfully they will be taken to another site which contains their photos. I have created the login page already, it has a Username and password plus the Submit button. I guess 2 things need to happen here:
1. I would like to be able to access an xml document which contains the Username and Password in order to validate the details.
2. Upon successful validation, the user is directed to another page which contains their gallery, I guess I need to add a navigateToURL here in actionscript where the URL is passed from the XML file to the code (the URL needs to come from an the same XML file, if possible).
I am trying to design this site so I don't need to keep accessing the actionscript in flash to add user details and URL links.

I have followed the tutorial on creating a live page counter in flash and somehow run into a problem to which i don't seem to be finding the solution. Perhaps someone here might be able to offer his/her generous help in solving this issue. Problem: The page counter works just fine the first time i load the page. After doing a refresh using the Ctrl & F5 key or just by clicking on the refresh button in my browser the count keeps going up (which as far as i understood from the tutorial is not supposed to happen).
When i do the same kind of refresh on the tutorial page the count stays unchanged though! I also downloaded the finished fla file but for some reason or other flash MX doesn't let me open it, giving me the error: "unexpected file format". Here is my code of the php file that i wrote for the counter.

Good day to everyone. I'm here today to seek help about Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. The story starts when one day, my boss asked me to make a flash presentation about their upcoming user training for a newly developed software. I was enthusiastic and excited about it because it's been a long time that I did not use Flash (note that I don't have any experience in ActionScript 3.0). At first, everything was a bit rough as I need to recall how to properly use the frames to create a successful animation. As I was about to finish the project, my boss approached me again and asked if I could insert a menu page in front so that the users won't have to replay the whole thing again just to look for a little something on that part of the movie. So yea, at first I was abit hesitant to accept. I said that it will work with Powerpoint. But she's a total pusher and I was forced to say yes. Now I'm having this problem about how to make a flash button load a swf movie.I've tried searching all over the net for tutorials but most of the times the "getUrl" and other stuff are said to be outdated.

I have moved on to using a Fireworks preloader in Flash. I have one timeline, my slideshow of 3 images starts on frame2, I insert my Fireworks loader into Flash from the Flash libary and place in Frame1. All fine however after my slideshow of 3 images is finished before it loops again the preloader blinks on the screen before the slideshow starts again. Is there anyway of stopping the preloader appearing after the slideshow has started? I know it sounds petty but I would like it if the preloader does its stuff at the beginning and then does not show again.

I'm aware there are tutorials online that cover how to make game menus and preloaders for AS3 flash games, but I've found that books are more in-depth for certain topics. Are there books with sections that cover the process of making a preloader and menus for an AS3 flash game?My ultimate goal is to implement a preloader AND game menus without referring to the timeline.

I need to create a button, or at least a movie clip that functions like a button that will print a page when clicked. Ideally I would like to have the button as part of the flash application, which will be online embedded into a web page as a .swf. on click the print page dialog box will appear, and the user will be able to print out the web page. What is the best way to code this?

I am trying to create an interative catalog for my small business.( I would like to do something similar to the online catalog that Kohls department store has [URL]... When the user goes to the corner, I would like the page to curl and give them the ability to turn it like a book. I would also like to keep all of my interactive scripting on each page (ie small popup box when the user rolls over an item, larger popup box when they click on an item) I am currently using Flash Pro CS5 to create the rollover/popup boxes, but do not know how to create the page curl effect. I know that InDesign can apply this effect to my pages, but am having issues with this working completely.
I have placed my flash pro cs5 .swf file (which contains my invisible buttons and scripting.) into my InDesign doc. I then export this InDesign doc as a .swf and also generate an html file. When I open the swf or html file, there is a big grey flash logo on the page. If I click on it, the page loads and I am able to interact as I would like and also turn the page with the curl effect. The problem is that every time I turn the page it loads the gray flash logo and I have to click on it again to load the page. An even bigger problem is when I embed the InDesign swf file to my webpage the gray flash logo is still there and even when I click on it, it doesnt load the page. Is there a way to get both interactivity (ie rollover/popupboxes) and the page curl effect I want? Is there a program that will make it easy for me to do both?

For 3 of the thumbnails, I need to show more than 1 image so I created numeric btns underneath the large images that will load photo 1, photo 2 etc. The issue that I can only get this to work on layer 1 and 2, when I try to do this for another thumbnail I get this error:"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.t press2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()"This is the basic script that I am using for all my thumbnails:

I'm creating my first Flash website using AS3, and it's really basic. I would like to put in a contact form, which I have made. I've converted the 3 fields (name_field, email_field and message_field) to a symbol (movie) called 'form'. I've also got a send button, which is called send_btn.
I've set up the Action Script so that when the button is clicked, the user is taken to a confirmation-style page. All I want to do is called a php script (I'm comfortable with the code for that) called 'mailer.php' and send the three variables from the form to it before then loading the confirmation page.

What is a good structure for a complete Flash website. ex.
1) Index.swf ( which is just a container and loader for the actual SWF site content)

Should the index.swf load in several SWF's , like navigation file , news reel file , etc....Also , if anyone know of a web site that has this information or knows of a book that covers this material ,
