Mar 17, 2009Right now it seems that the preloader is only showing loading to when the first frame that a movie clip is on. instead loading through all the frames.

View 2 RepliesI am making a website where one main swf loads several other swf components into it, and the first step is for the loadbar swf to be loaded in.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class MainClass extends MovieClip {
[Code] .....
I am getting the following errors:
Location:
MainClass.as, Line 3
Description:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: loadBar.
Source:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
Location:
MainClass.as, Line 13
Description:
1120: Access of undefined property loadbar.
Source:
loadbar.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.C OMPLETE, addLoadBar);
loadBar_mc is an empty movie clip on the main.fla stage which I am using just to position the loadbar.
I have created 1,5mb swf file and I need preloader for it. I don't have any timeline code in it. All written in OOP, based on document class. I grabbed a preloader from my previous projects but this one doesn't work. The output is: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at myDocumentClass()"Basically I want to load large swf in my preloader swf or whatever will work. I tried add loaderInfo to my document class but complete event triggered only when everything is loaded, and nothing appear before that. Just a blank screen.
View 15 RepliesI'm running into an instance where I am trying to load a file 'main.swf' using the Loader class and the content of the 'evt.currentTarget.content' points to '[ object Main__Preloader__ ]'. When attemting to trace the content of the loader, I would expect the trace would show similar to '[object Main ]' since the document class for the main.swf is 'Main'. In Safari I can get the file to load and play properly (admitting through a work around) however, on Firefox for mac all that displays is some sort of 'preloader' (which I can assure you I did not create) which looks like so:
Here's the animated sequence:
oooooooooo
I will mention I am using CS5 on a mac and this file works fine when published from CS4 to FP9. I will also mention that the main.swf does contain imported assets from a RSL.
public class Framework extends MovieClip
{
var _loadingSystem:LoadingSystem;

how to make a dynamic unfilled and filled circle. that will take input from a slider to dertermine how much of the circle is drawn. I wanted to use this for a preloader. Unlike the author I would like to use it inside of a document class. I am getting 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method createEmptyMovieClip through a reference with static type document. and 1120: Access of undefined property circ1. The second is caused from the first. How would I get this to work in my document class?
//original code
// x: circles center x, y: circles center y
// a1: first angle, a2: angle to draw to, r: radius
// dir: direction; 1 for clockwise -1 for counter clockwise

I am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));
trace("Dispatching APERTURE_DONE");
my code in class B.
Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");
[code]....
My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.

View 2 RepliesI have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.

View 0 RepliesI just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.

View 2 RepliesWhat I'm working on is a navigation bar populated by an XML document. I'm working from an existing navigation bar while I learn, and the existing bar has a menu, and when clicked each button has a sub menu. I'm trying to remove the submenu so that when you click the navigation bar button, you go to the address defined in the XML. So far I've got everything working so that there is no sub menu drop down, and when you click a button, you are taken to a URL defined in the actual flash AS file.
I can't seem to get the AS file to call on the XML file to the get a URL from it though. How do I tell the AS file to call a variable from the XML document? I know I have the correct Node path because it works in a second AS file.

I am using this tutorial to install lightbox within a flash cs3 as2 document[URL]..I got everything to work, now I am trying to set up the code to load an html page in the lightbox without changing the option to load jpg's as well.
So far I've tried changing the code in flash to say .html instead of .jpg and The lightbox keeps loading without ever finding the file.
when i create a new document in Flash CS3 with choosing "ActionScript 3.0", i cannot edit the action script for any clips/buttons i made and when i pressed F9, it showed "current selection cannot have actions applied to it". however, when i created a flash file with selecting ActionScript 2.0, I have no such issue any more.
