ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader.close() Method Won't Stop A Progress
Jun 4, 2007
I'm running into some problems using the close() method.I'm trying to build a class that checks a resource size before loading it.it's very simple: I use the Loader class to load the resource, listens to the first progress event and immediately closes the connection with the Loader.close() method.However, the close() doesn't seem to stop the Loader after the first progress event dispatched.here is a quick copy & paste frame code just to demonstrate my point:
Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[code]....
The ProgressEvent is thrown until the big.jpg loading is complete.How could I stop it just after the first progress event?

I have a SWF file that is the first frame of the movie and it's only purpose is to load in another SWF and show text corresponding to the progress of download completion. When I test the movie (Simulate Download) it just simulates without showing my text with percentage complete. The only way I can get it to show, is if I add a button to click to make it show. How can I get it, so that when someone opens the movie, it will start the download process, show the percentage, and then upon completion, start the UILoader movie?[code]...

I have a xml image gallery and I want to add a simple progress bar component from flash cs5 to the thumbs when they 1st load up in the carousel.
I understand about the progress bar and how it works and I have tried all day to insert the correct code into my project but I just can't seem to get it right. I dont want to use buttons for the progress bar as demonstrated by Republic of Code, I would just like the progress bars to load when thumbs are loading.
I have included below the progress bar AS3 code from the site "republic of code" which I have been learning from. Also below is the code from my xml gallery.
progress bar AS3 code
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
import fl.controls.Button;

I've got a little problem: I made a preloader class that features a stopLoadProcess() method that simply calls Loader.close(). Well, it does work, but in Safari, after calling it, I have an error: Safari complains that 'there was an error loading 'that asset''' (something similar). In other words, Loader.close() in fact works in all browsers, in Safari too, but Safari also throws that error when calling the method.

Does Loader.close() stops loading at once, or it continues loading certain number of chunks before stopping? Is it viable to run concurrent loading process in the background and then stop it abruptly (or even pause if possible) if user needs something else loaded immediately? And what about loading of other types of external content?

I'm working on my portfolio, and I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm loading a custom made video player SWF into my main SWF, and it works well so far, but the NETSTREAM doesn't close when I remove the child after I return to the main menu, and the audio keeps going.

I need to do a simple progress indicator while loading an image on background. I'm using the flash.display.Loader class in what seems to be the standard way. The problem is that even though I can see that flash.display.LoaderInfo fires the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS at regular intervals using tracing, a dynamically updated text (or any other graphics object) is updated only once when the loading finishes. It looks like if the display update queued and caused only one update at the end. This is a simplified version of the function which initiates the loading:[code]

My problems comes in when you have to open a different image album and have to eliminate all the previously loaded children in the movieclip. When i load a new album i used a code you posted here: AS3 How to remove previous loadersbut the problem is that sometimes the user leaves the album page before ALL the pics laod so when they click on a new album to open it a new image is placed somewhere else cause the loader has already been launched. I've tryd to close() the loader but it doesn't seem to work.Here you can see the working site to see what im talking abouy you have to click on an album, leave before all the pictures load and open up another one.
getImage(dataList[0].file)
function getImage(href:String):void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

i successfully managed to work out the loader script, and load a external swf file into my current project. Now that its working and all is well, i realised that only way to get back to 'main menu' was to close the whole thing. I tried to sort it out with a simple 'back' button but no success there. As mentioned in the title thats the options i found so far but cant seem to quite understand them tbh. I just want it to work so that I easily can manouvre back to 'main menu'.

I want to end any previous data loading progresses.. But I can't manage to do this.
I tried lots of things (as you can see couple of them below), but it just can't stop downloading of images. I click to first gallery button, it starts to download thumbs and the first picture. Then I click to second gallery button and it adds more download progress to the previous ones.. (Every gallery has 4 thumb, this way every click adds 4 thumb and 1 picture. It's download count grows 5+5+5 to infinite) This code is from my thumb class.. Every thumb downloads it's own little image..

I have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
trace("LOADED");
}

I'm loading an image into a container. The container is simply a loader object with a progress event listener and a complete event listener. It is loaded when a thumb is clicked in the gallery and it displays the image larger.Basically it is possible to interrupt the loading process of the current load stream and load something else by clicking another thumb in the gallery before it's complete.
If you call loader.close() when nothing is loading, Flash will call back an error saying that there is no stream attached to the loader object.Is there a way to test if the loader object is presently loading, and if so to close it?

Is anyone else aware of the fact that Internet Explorer (at least version 8) keeps downloading a file even if the close() method is called on an URLStream instance? Heck, it even keeps downloading if you close the tab displaying the site which called the load()/close() methods on an URLStream instance. Does anyone know of a solution to overcome this problem? More details: My preloader is loading a dozen of files and immediately closing the download streams with the purpose of checking each resource's file size. In Mozilla Firefox all goes well, exactly as expected, but Internet Explorer keeps downloading the resource even if the stream has been interrupted by the action script close() method.

Is there anyway to kill a keypress event in progress(bubbling?). Basically I have a chat app that on pressing enter sends the message, also in the keypress handler it clears the input textfield. however it still adds the return back into the field and since its doing it after the keypress i cant shift the carret to zero. so you always ended up starting on line 2 with a on line 1. I tried to null and void the keypress when it hit my handler but that did not change anything. is there anyway way to kill the event once its called? basicly making sure any other handlers after it dont get called?

I have a situation where I'm using the FLVPlayback component and it starts off blank, meaning that it shows the video player skin but doesn't load a movie until prompted to do so. However, the progress bar in the skin is acting as if a movie is being loaded. I'd like to make it invisible or stop it until I need it, but I can't seem to target it. I've tried the following with no success.[code]

I've built an online magazine, that has several links to videos. One page has four of them. They all work great except under one specific circumstance. If the user quickly opens a video, and closes it, moving on the to next, and doing the same, the 3rd or 4th video may appear unresponsive. I've narrowed this down to being a bandwith issue. If I look at my activiyt in Safari, the FLV files continue to download even if the user closes my player.
Is there anyway to kill this download if the user closes a player?[code]...

have a movie clip that I am moving with tweens. When the user clicks a button it creates a new tween and the movie clip moves. However, I have another button that sets the position of the same movie clip. The problem comes when this button is clicked if the tween is in progress. The tween continues and my content moves out of view. Is there a way to stop or delete the tween when the second button is clicked?Here is a simplified example of the relevant AS:
button1.onRelease = function(){
new Tween(movieClip, "_y", Strong.easeOut, movieClip._y, movieClip._y + 200, 1, true);
}

Finally I was able to get my site running with a little FLASH ACTIONSCRIPT in it. (all courtesy of url....)I got so excited and published it right away 'cause I think for as a photographer, it's a huge accomplishment on my part.In my main movie, there are 3 BUTTONS namely: Portfolio, About me, and Contact.In the main timeline I added this script below
PHP Code:
stop();
delay = 30000;
intervalID = setInterval(pause, delay);[code].....
if you notice it, there is a 30 second timer set to purposely move the playhead back to "rewind" and load the RANDOM SCRIPT again. The problem comes whenever you click on either ABOUT ME or CONTACT, because once you are in those frame, the timer will bring you back at "rewind" naturally.I tried to search for some way to stop the timer when pressing ABOUT ME and CONTACT but haven't seen one yet.

The application is loading a fairly large SWF from the server using the Loader class. Strangely enough, the progress bar immediately goes to 100% (but the loading still takes a while after that). The code is below, but you'll see it's basically too simple to break.
It has worked when the application was on a different server, so I though maybe the new server wasn't sending the size of the large SWF in the http headers. Firebug does show a progress bar though, so that is not the case, the information should be available.---
Update: That's actually incorrect, Apache does in fact not send the Content-Length the header. Going to look into that. :EndUpdate
It also works when I run the loader swf locally and change the URL (new URLRequest("Placemat.swf")) to the absolute URL of Placemat.swf on the server.
var l:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(l);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, function(e:ProgressEvent) {
s.setProgress(e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal);

Actually, I already know the answer. The main reason I'm posting it here is for Google searchers, and if I copy and paste the post into my blog, my ActionScript code gets formatted all pretty, when all I have to do is add "as" tags here.

My site is up and running, it's not a big deal, but I can't figure out if it's my AS3 code thats causing the problem or the PHP script that it calls. I assume its a loader object that I use to access data..
There's a part of the site that only loads when clicked on, which is good, but the issue is this: when you load the swf file, it loads fine, and firefox displays "done" in the bottom left.
However, when you click on the "terms" section, it displays "transferring data from www.(domain name)", and keeps saying that even after the section is done loading. Do I have to delete my loader or something?? I don't want to cause bandwidth problems if somebody leaves the site open.
