I am trying to load swf file as a child to the background of the parent (master_swf)unfortunately when I am loading external swf it come in the front of the parent, This is a complex presentation so I dont want to create master of a master to load the child and the "master" to a super master..
This is my loading code of the swf:
/////////////////////////////////////////
var introStage:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
I have tried a lot of different google searches to find an answer to my problem, but have come away more confused than anything! Also i'm working in AS2 (using Flash CS3).I have main.swf loaded first, and all I want is a series of swf's to load invisibly in the background so they are ready to appear instantly when accessed.

View 1 RepliesI've inherited a website with a huge (2.5MB) flash menu system and would like to know if there is an elegant way to load it in the background from maybe an intro page that redirects to the home page after a certain amount of time - or possible when the menu is done loading.
View 11 RepliesIt seems that this should be a simple thing but I can't figure it out. I would just like my visitors to see a beautiful, still, jpg image in the space where my flash movie is loading...until it is fully loaded. I tried putting a background image in the cell (using Dreamweaver MX) but once I import the swf file, I can no longer see what's in the background.
When I select the flash movie in MX it only allows me to select a background color, not an image. I know that I can use a preloader of some sort to let people know there is flash content loading but I would rather use the opportunity to show a professional photo. Do I have to set this up the same way a preloader is set up but with a single frame maybe or is there an easier way.
I am loading two rss from my server, one is for detail of my videos and second is for news.
Now when user will search video i am taking data from my server based on search, and the news will be arrived every 10 seconds.
My Problem is that when the news rss code will be executed then its displaying me loading icon on the screen, so i would like to make this news process in background, so viewer's do not see this process (loading icon), and user think that new are coming automatically.
My AS3 Code is as below.
ActionScript Code:
loadnews();
function loadnews():void

I have google everywhere ..no real solution (or one which i could grasp). How can I stop the background swf from not loading up after index .html is refeshed.
View 5 RepliesI'm creating an interactive flash graphic about the ISS. The user can rotate the ISS in a 360� angle. I rendered the sequence in 120 steps, each step a jpeg-image of its own. To reduce bandwith-usage I dynamically preload the next 5 pics in the rotation-sequence. What I want to do now, is to load all the pics of the sequence quietly in the background, so when all pictures are loaded the flash switches from preloading the future pics to just showing the pictures loaded while the application is up and running. The problem is, if I try this, the flashapp will only start if the loading in the background is done. Is there any way of getting rid of that. My code is given below.
ActionScript Code:
var loader_current_Minus1:Loader = new Loader();
var loader_current_Minus2:Loader = new Loader();

View 3 RepliesI need to load background image from css to flash 8. Is this possible and if possible, how am I going to do it?
View 3 RepliesI have succesfully gotten the "loading a random background" to work. But now I want to try a couple of other things with it.I would like to adjust the size and alpha, which it isn't happening. And I would also like to repeat the the image (which was generated randomly) 4 other times on the page.So far I have place the random image and mask within a movie, and then placed it on the main timeline.That works great, then I am sliding same image from behind the first image to create a total of 5 images on my documento get the other 4 images on the main document have repeated the movie that holds the random image code, but nothing is showing up in the other 4 instances

View 3 RepliesAs you can see, I have an external swf file that loads into a container clip. When a user clicks on the next project button, or any other category, another image gallery starts loading. My question is, is there anyway to load the other galleries in the background while users browse through the loaded ones?

My question is, is there anyway to load the other galleries in the background while users browse through the loaded ones? Is having an off-stage invisible movieclip with an loadMovie function the best way to do this, or is there a better method?
View 3 RepliesJust to get some professional opinions, is it possible to load in an external SWF and set that SWF's background to transparent?
This question has nothing to do with embedding the SWF in an HTML page. I already know that setting the WMODE to transparent will create a SWF with a transparent background in a browser.

I've created a Flash slideshow where I load the narration audio MP3 file at the start of every slide with the typical code listed below. Of course this introduces a delay for the viewer at the start of every slide while its related MP3 file downloads.
Is there a way to download the MP3 files for future slides in the background while the first slide is playing in order to eliminate this delay for all slides except for the first one?
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("audio/Slide_1.mp3");
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var oneSoundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

I'm doing as 3 + xml gallery, my client want photos to be loaded in the background, so first we load one foto, user cant change the photo until the next one is loaded. so I am loading the photos until each of them is fully loaded, when the foto is loaded I use the addChild and set alpha of the photo to 0. The problem is this gallery works like shoot. The animations has like 2fps and everythink is laggy :/ any ideas why? I thought loading photos is not so exhausting for flash player.
View 14 RepliesI have movie that has two different images... When the movie is loaded and reach the end, I have large button that onMouseOver effect has new image (smiling girl). The problem is that I want her to smile all the time while the mouse is over animation. That should includes the case when someone trys to type something and finally press small button to submit data. But when mouse cursor is not rolling over she should stop smiling...
The problem is that it's simple to have her smiling in every other case, but when the event as described occurs, she stop simling.. I try several solutions that came up in my head, such as attachMovie, createEmptyClip, different depths, rollOver/out etc, but it seems that I haven't bright idea what i should do i order to get the expected result.

View 7 RepliesI have a gallery with a Next/Previous button and individual frames that contain a "loadMovie" function. When the user clicks next or previous the movie jumps to a new frame and loads an external swf/w a preloader into a container. The way I have it , the movie has to load each swf one at a time. Is there a way to have the movie loading the other swfs in the background, so the user doesnt have to ait for each swf to load?
View 1 RepliesThe website I'm working on is a Flash swf hovering at about 2 megs, and although on a broadband connection, it still takes a few long seconds - Is there any actionscript that can tell my preloader to display my homepage immediatley after the homepage is loaded, while the rest of my site loads in the background?
stop();
//preloader
st = new Date();

I tried to create this preloader and test it but it seems not to work. I saw this tutorial, i tried to do it but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I want to do it the easiest way possible. just : a loading bar ( white line) a background bar ( a blu background bigger line ) a AS ( which i am not able) i sent the file in attachments please look at the AS inside the symbol, an tell me where i'm wrong
View 4 RepliesI have some preloader (timeline-based) content and some FLV's that I want the user to see while other content is loading in the background. The preloaded content and the FLV's are very choppy while the content is loading and run fine afterward. I initially thought this might be a RAM issue, but my other apps are running fine at the same time (YouTube, etc.) so I think it's an issue within my code or Flash Player. How do the really nice preloaders (animation on timeline OR FLV's) run so smoothly while background content is loaded? For example, are they independent SWF's? internalized classes exported for Actionscript? some other option I'm not privy to? Mine, for example, are internal classes in the main library that I have exported for AS.
View 6 RepliesI want a MovieClip to play as its loading the content in the background, I already have the MC animated, the "loader", how do I do this! I tried this way
frame1
ifFrameLoaded ("end") {
gotoAndPlay ("Start");
}
frame 2
gotoAndPlay(1);
layer 2
loader
Thats all it works the only problem is, that I realized is that its dependent of connection speed, what I mean is that if you have a 200KB/s connection it will load so fast that it doesnt play the complete animation and I set the simulate download speed to like 50KB/s and it does play completely. So my question is will this happen when it's online?
I want to load an external swf to the background and then have it resized proportionally according to the browser window so it can fill up the whole screen.
View 2 RepliesI have an animation Logo flash movie which I want to appear after 10 seconds of loading the background image (Panel_mc)?
I am using Actionscript 3 to load the Logo.swf movie. The following is the whole code that I have on my action script page:
stop();import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var PanelTween:Tween = new Tween(Panel_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -400, 20, 5, true);
var l:Loader=new Loader();addChild(l);l.load(new URLRequest("Logo.swf"));l.x = -20;l.y = -20;
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);
function growLoader(evt:Event):void { l.width = 320; l.height = 185;}
Note: I need it because first the background will animate so no one can pay attention to my Logo. Once the background stops animation, My logo needs to be start (animation)?
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.I have images loading into loaders, and empty movieclips, on demand..I would like to be able to load images that havn't been cached yet, but still have the images that the user navigates to to take loading precedence if need be. ie...Speed up loading time by haveing images load as a background process.
