ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Preloader In It For ENTIRE Swf?
Apr 26, 2010
How does one make a preloader in AS 3.0 for THE ENTIRE swf?
I'm certainly generally familiar with making preloaders in Flash, yet with changes to the Flash environment in the last few years, my situation may not be so straight forward:
I have a very developed Flash 3.0 application where the timeline is not used in the traditional way, everything is Class based, and there are all kinds of assets in the library that are used dynamically.
This type of preloader is useless, because (I guess) that "this.loaderInfo" is associated to the timeline (which has nothing on it) [code]...

I have a slide show that's about 800k and I'm trying to add a preloader. I tried 6 different preloaders today including a smart clip I downloaded from Macromedia. It seems that when I add a stop action after the preloader this hangs the entire movie. I've uploaded a working example of the slideshow without a preloader and a link to the fla of my NON-working attempt to apply the smart clip preloader here I think I'm just putting the stop action in the wrong place but I can't figure it out..

I have tried everything to get my Flash movie to completely fill the browser but to no avail. I have made the dimensions 100% w + h as well as making all the margins 0 px. Am I missing something as when I compare my HTML source code it seems the same as others but the result is with me having white borders around the published file.
Here is the link for the source code.

I've made a website, [URL]. the stage size is 1000x590. this is big enough for most screens. but some small ones or if they have large amounts of toolbars, cut off the top and bottom of the stage. so what I want to do is, if some parts get cut off, I want scroll bars to appear so you can scroll and see all of the site. it seems to have been done on the [URL] website.

So as to make things less confusing (I had a lot of different layers), I made each scene in my animation in its own file. Now I want to put them in the same file, so I thought I could make everything in one file into a movie clip and put it into another file that way.
However, it doesn't seem to work! I can highlight everything, convert it, and paste it into the other file... but when I paste it, it only pastes the first frame of my highlighted selection! How can I convert the whole thing into a movie clip instead of just one frame?

I'm in the process of making complicated multiplayer games and i want to make a 'zoom in-scroller' feature (simply to give the illusion of a bigger world where i can put more stuff in it). What I need is the equivilent of launching your .swf, right clicking on the stage, and "zoom in" (but obviously in actionscript code).
I've been searching online for the solution and all i can find is a bunch of noobs describing how to zoom in on a movieclip, but they arent really zooming at all, they're just blowing up and shrinking the individual movieclips.
The biggest problem with this of course is when i add objects to the stage, thier (x, y) spawn dosent scale with the stage.scaleX, so the placement spirals the game out of control.Anyways, my stage is a 1200x by 600y dimension; the stage has player movieclip (var player1) with assosiated move functions (W A S D controls). I need a zoomed in interface centered on the moving player (lets just say a 600x by 300y box). And finally this zoom-in should not affect anything going on in the original 1200x600 stage, such as spawn locations, collision detections and so on.

i have a bunch of movie clips and in order to make them rotate the way i want i have grouped them together, made the entire group into a movie clip and applied the motion tween. I'm trying to code it so that when i mouse over the movie clips WITHIN the group movie clip, something happens. How would i go about it? All i can work out is how to make the entire group react on mouse over, not the individual movie clips themselves.

I was wondering if its possible to make a website fall asleep when the focus is shifted away from the entire window.... so something like onBlur. I've seen this on a few websites and I got thinking how they did it. I'm guessing they have some kind of JavaScript code in their HTML page that can detect an onBlur or killFocus or whatever you call it - then the flash movie picks up on this and takes the appropriate action - like pauses a movie or displays a message "please come back" or things to that effect.
EXAMPLE: Go to [URL] and go to the WANDER AWAY section and click his links. Provided you have enough "money" (you can earn "money" by navigating around) you'll be taken to pixel ranger etc. Now click on the [URL] window and you'll see its been greyed out and is "asleep". You have to click the movie to awaken the site.

I'm trying to make a preloader for a little flash project that involves re-assembling a load of rectangles to make up a pattern.Idea is that instead of the usual load bar i wanted to make use of this pattern that is relevant to the project and have it rebuild it self with these rectangles flying in from the side. So far I have got the tweening sorted using the tween class and staggered the 42 (yes took a little while, probably an easier way so let me know on that also) rectangles using 'setTimeout' so it releases each 100milliseconds after the one one before it. This probably the wrong way to do it but i wanted to check how it looked and this was the one way i knew how to do it.
I want to make it so that these rectangles fly in a complete the pattern once the loading has finished, but on a fast connection I don't want it to rush the animation but for a slow connection I obviously want it to adjust the release time and maybe even the travel speed to compensate.
I had an idea of maybe working out the percentage loaded divided by 42 and then run an if statement to see if that percentage for that segment had been reached before 100millseconds had passed, if 100 had passed then release the rectangle, if not then hold the rectangle until 100 m/s had passed. Not sure if that is the best way to do but that's why I'm looking for some suggestions from more experienced developers.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Regular;
// declare variables

I publish my swf, everything works great. I make a preloader that seems to run well and here are the actions:
Code:
var l:Loader=new Loader();l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,done);
l.load(new URLRequest("MVCSpringBeauty12512.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
{

Problem is that when the game starts to play I can still see my menu screen in the background and then my asBaseScreen is also in the background!!! My screenHandler is being screwed up by the damn preloader. I need a point in the right direction

So my preloader is working nicely. But how do I make the preloader an MC by itself? So that I can neaten up the main timeline, and also it will make it easier to reuse the preloader if its, its own MC.

In order to learn the ins and outs of preloaders in ActionScript 3.0 I've been working on a program in Flash CS4. The problem I'm having is that the preloader is not throwing/recieving the Progress and Complete events.
I decided to make the preloader an independant class and put it in a seperate package from the document class. I also made a second independant class to serve as a progress bar, which the preloader includes. Basically the structure of my program is Flash File>Document Class>Preloader Class>ProgressBar Class
So far the Document Class creates the Preloader and puts it on the screen (a black box with a progress bar on it so far, I'll add text later). What I'm working on now is getting it to actually preload, so that on the Progress events it increases the size of the bar untill it's completed, and then puts a play button on the stage when it recieves the Complete event.

Very odd but when i move my movieclip of frame one and on to say frame 5 all my images turn nasty and start pixel shifting.
if there is no fix does anyone know if there is a way to make a preloader on just one frame.
