ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader Not Preloading - Mask To Go Over Some Words In Relation To The Percentage Of The File Loaded?
Mar 16, 2011
I have a preloader using this script:
[Code]....
I want a mask to go over some words in relation to the percentage of the file loaded. Below it I want text that says 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. (also in relation to the percentage loaded). But when I test it and click "simulate download," the screen stays white for about 10 seconds then goes to frame 2 where my content starts.?! I get no errors, either. PS: on Flash CS5, is TLF text the same as Dynamic? For "percentage," the only two options are Classic and TLF...

I am trying to make a preloaded that stops on frames depending on how much is loaded, I want it to stay on frame 1 if 24% or less of the movies is loaded and for every 25% I want it to it to move forward a frame, So far I have done thus,
var bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
var bytes_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (bytes / bytes_loaded >= .25) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
_root.gottoAndStop(1);
}

How can I make a preloader that shows percentage/bar for a movie loaded in with LoadMovie?
I've tried using a normal preloader (the one from Kirupa) in the "to load" movie, but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to have the preloader assess how big the movie to load is, how a bar etc. and have the movie hidden until 100% is loaded (as seen on the bar)?

I'm looking to do a preloader for my site, what I want to do is that the user sees the percentage loaded, but instead of the typical bar filling up, I want dots to fill the screen. Each dot would appear with each percentage loaded. So for example, if its on 5%, there would be 5 dots, when it moves to 6%, another dot would appear on the screen. So in the end there would be 100 dots/circles on the screen. maybe say in a 10 by 10 grid. I know how to make the percentage loaded appear, but have no idea about the dots.

Basically, I adapted the design totally, but chose to display a percentage along with the animated "loading..." thing there.
One difference is that my buttons are located in the Transition movie clip and the loadText dynamic text field(where the percentage is displayed) is also in the Transition movie clip.
Here's the code I attached to Content movie clip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
[Code].....
If you visit [URL] you'll see the busted result.
For a deeper look the fla is downloadable at: [URL]

Anybody finished Claudio's preloader tutorial?? Great tutorial... preloader works fine for me. However, I tried tweaking it a bit and cant get a part to work. Maybe someone can suggest a fix. I'm pretty sure its a simple thing I'm not seeing. Basically, I adapted the design totally, but chose to display a percentage along with the animated "loading..." thing there.

I'm working on my first Flash project, and for my preloader I'd like to do a really simple gradient based on the percentage loaded. The preloader says "77% loaded...", where the number 77 is a dynamic text instance called percentLoaded. I'd like the textColor of percentLoaded to change on a gradient from #000000 to #FFFFFF, in gray-scale.Therefore, I can't simply do:percentLoaded.textColor=(currentValue/100)*0xFFFFFF;This just converts the textColor to a multiple of FFFFFF, but outputs a color since it's not three separate components. Currently, here's what I've got:

I want to mask a movie clip with another one, the mask is a dynamic square which expands to the whole scene.Anyway, I wanted to now what is the relation between the layer of the masked movie and the mask itself,(should they be at the same level or not?) I use the above script:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mask", 22);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("masked", 21);
masked.attachMovie("home_btn", "masky", 0);
_root.masked.masky.setMask("mask");

I am trying to preload an mp3 file dynamically while showing the typical 'percentage loaded' in a dynamic text box. However for some reason, the percentage just doesn't count up - it freezes on 100% even though the mp3 file is still loading. I have included the code that I'm using below. Also, does anyone know what would be the best way to adjust this code so that I could preload multiple mp3 files at the same time or one after another?

I'm loading words from a .txt file to a Flash crossword puzzle. It works perfect locally, but has trouble when uploaded to the web. Sometimes it works, but usualy has trouble loading the words. Is there a way I can check if the text file words are loaded before it continues with the game? This is what I'm using code: loadVariables (myDomain + "words/" + myPuzzle + ".txt", "");

I have a question, I have been reading on _root. ... My question lies with the use of a percentage pre- loader.
_root.getBytesTotal();
If I place this in the first frame of movie A and load movie A into Movie B, movie B being the main movie, will the get bytes loaded give me total bytes of B, or A... My initial thought is it will get the total of B seeing how I am using _root.

Using this preloader w/percentage from the kirupa tut.
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
[code]....
I'm having trouble calculating the getBytesTotal method to return less that the total. In other words, I'd like to start the movie before it has fully loaded. Lets say, 75% loaded then gotoAndPlay.

I would like to use animateFlourish.fla (see attached file) as a percentage loader in the first frame of a movie where the beginning of the animateFlourish animation equals 0% of frames loaded and the end of the animation equals 100%.I have tried the percentage preloaders tutes here on Kirupa and on Senocular; but, none of them work.So far, I have been able to get the animateFlourish.fla to work as a preloader; but, it keeps replaying the animation until the frames have loaded: http:[url]... I would like it to play once timing the animation with the % of loaded frames.

I tested it on every popular commercial browser and it goes from 1 to 100... in f...ing IE it persistently goes from 1 to about 470... ?!?!?! WTF?! btw: the preloader has a rotating circle and a text which displays the percentage... here's the code:

I 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.

I'm just learning AS3 with flash cs5 and I utilized the template "preloader for external file" with the big red bar. The bar progresses fine! But then I wanted to add a percentage number so I tried a couple of things with the code. The result: the bar doesn't progress and the percentage number works allright.
var contentLoader:Loader; loadContent("painting1.swf");
function loadContent(url:String):void { contentLoader = new Loader();
contentLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loading);
contentLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, contentLoaded);
contentLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));

I just built a website entirely in Flash Catalyst CS5. After adding a few more states the file size got bigger and the loading time increased. On average, it takes about 10 seconds for the site to load on my connection. Till then all you get is a white page and the spark preloader shows up when you scroll down. All I want is a simple preloader with a percentage indicator, loading bar, and maybe my company logo.

I have a preloader on my flash website, however when it runs for its first time, the preloader will sometimes hang at a random spot, say at 27% or 50%. To continue, the user must refresh, and that second time around the page will load fully. It does not do this for every first run, it seems to be pretty random, but once it has happened to someone and they refresh through it, it won't happen again. Here is the preloader code:. Note, "bar" is the instance name for the bar object on the stage to represent how much is loaded.
Code:
stop();
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.ui.ContextMenu;
var loaded:Number;
var percent:Number;
bar.addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, load_progress );
