It's me again Ysong. I have a problem regarding PRELOADING.
MY TIMELINE: First frame dynamic text which is my preloader with AS3 in it. NO MORE OBJECT in the frame only text which is dynamic.

I've got a SWF to which I added a Preloader scene. The preloader works fine when I hit Ctrl+Enter in Flash CS4, and select View > Simulate Download. The preloader displays, and when full, the movie continues as expected. However, the moment I embed the SWF into some HTML, and load from localhost in any browser, the movie doesn't continue until I right click and select Play. When I use the Charles Web Debugging Proxy tool and throttle the connection, then again preloading works fine, and the movie proceeds when done? Here's the source for the preloader:

I am using an external preloader (loader.swf) to load the movie (ayproj.swf). The preloader works fine when running the .swf file in flash player and when simulating a download in flash cs5 but when i upload it to the internet and open the index.html in which the flash is in a 100% frame it either sticks on 100% (Ff and IE) or just says "pl" (chrome) - the initial text in the dynamic percentage text box.

I have been searching the internet almost a week to solve this issue with no luck !
I am having problems with my slide show play/pause buttons
When pressed, the pause button does not pause at all (the slide show automatically cycles every 5 seconds)
and the play button starts playing the slide show from the beginning instead of from the place that it was paused.
the file is attached and here is a direct link to view the problem [URL]
I designed a website for a company recently, and had a preloader screen for it.Now that its uploaded,when I visit the website, the browser downloads all the data first before displaying it, alright.But the preloader screen doesnt appear. When I simulate download in the swf, it shows the preloader screen properly.The AS on the 1st frame is something like this:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;[code].................
I'm have two issues with a new version of my site that's almost complete. First is probably an easy one which is the geturl command. It always opens the links I click on in IE. I would like it to use the default browser.
link_1.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.naturalropehalters.com/", "_blank");
};

I've just followed the tutorial "Full browser flash" URL...I've got it setup so everything will be inside of the "centered" movieclip. view it here: URL...BUt I can't seem to get my preloader included in the centered movieclip.[code]Basic, but it works on the main timeline just not in movieclip. Something I need to change?
View 2 Repliesi have a simple preloader in frame 1 (scene 1), and the rest of my movie in scene 2.
the preloader is:
//Import the required assets
import flash.display.*;
//Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loads
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);

I was wondering how to make a full Browser preloader. The bar should be the same height as the Browser window and should load for the whole width. How do I do that?
View 7 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble figuring out why my preloader.swf isn't scaling right as my site loads. The way my preloader works is that I load in my site code and stage elements first ( called Main.swf ). Then, when that is loaded, I preload the first large background image for my site with a second preloader bar. For the first preloader bar ( loading Main.swf ), the graphics for the preloader are all scaled up by about 25% then it jumps to normal size when the loading of the first background image starts.

On the very first frame in my .swf I have over 3.000 lines of code, mostly just a bunch of functions and variables.
I'm closing in to the completion of my game and I'm about to setup a preloader. However, I was wondering, how will all that code affect the preloader when the game is being loaded in a browser?
Will it cause a slight performance issue at the beginning or should I setup all that code on an empty frame right after the preloader?
So the following code is Lee's implementation of a preloader which works fine first load but goes crazy when the browser loads a cached file, jumping from 0% to 100% randomly Things I have tried to no avail: switching off gzip compression, tho I dont think it is on Using ENTER_FRAME instead of progress and complete

When I preview my SWF from within Flash or run the exported swf outside of Flash, it has suddenly become extremely slow, maybe 10 FPS or something. But then it runs smoothly if I
- run it in a browser embedded in a HTML page
- run a preloader locally which simply loads the problematic SWF file; once the problematic SWF file shows up, it runs perfectly.
This doesn't make sense to me, and it's really annoying to be unable to just Shift+Enter to preview. Anyone tried anything like this before?
I am trying to make a preloader in AS2 for my website in Flash CS4 but every tutorial I have tried hasn't worked, everytime i try simulate the download it waits until the whole movie is downloaded then views it, however every example fla file that i download works fine even when simulate .
View 2 Repliestake a look at the attached files? I've got two preloaders that I've made from the same template, but I can't get the progress to show. It simply shows a quick glimpse of the finished image and then goes to frame two.
View 1 Repliesmy preloader isn't actually working,trying to load the page on a PC with quite slow internet... The story is following - my preloader animation plays, but only after the whole movie is loaded, cuz I noticed a huge delay before the preloader was actually played... And then I used that flash speed testing thing (sorry, but I don't know how it's called) and it proved my theory... That's the code on 1-st frame, where preloader is:
Actionscript Code:
stop();var loaded:Number = getBytesLoaded();var total:Number = getBytesTotal();var percent:Number = Math.floor((loaded*100)/total);if (loaded == total){gotoAndPlay (2);}else{ _preloader.gotoAndPlay(percent); //loadBar.percentage.text = percent;}[code].....
So, I'm working on a presentation/site that houses multiple sections being loaded in as individual swfs. I have each section shoot to a preloader frame first that is set (with PreloadAssetManager) to preload multiple FLVs and the SWF itself.If I select a new section while the current one is loading, it does the correct process of switching sections and shooting back to the preloader, but then the preloader itself just stops working completely. If I try to access any section, it just sits at a blank preloader. of thing.
View 1 RepliesI export all my stage assets to frame 1, so the external preloader FLA is the approach I've been using for a while to show the nice percentage before the real SWF is loaded. I've just finished with a project and I'm getting errors when the file is done loading.The file works fine as long as it's not it a Loader component (stand-alone SWF), but as soon as I try to get it in the preloader it gives me a ton of errors.
The only major thing I did differently with this project is that a number of classes have their own individual Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners and that *I'm making a lot of stage calls* from various classes to get locations and what-not. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the latter, since I used the stage width/height for a lot of the positioning (stage.stageWidth/2, stage.stageHeight/2, etc).
I've got a strange problem with my new flash website. I've been able to code a preloader for loading in different .swfs into my main .swf file. This works fine locally and even when I simulate the download in Flash. But when I've uploaded it to my website the preloader no longer works. Basicly the swf file does load into the current swf but without the loading bar and percentage reading.
stop();
_root.homecontent.loadshowreel._xscale = 1;
_root.homecontent.onEnterFrame = function() {

I am working on a website and I would like it to have a preloader.This website is scripted using Flash CS3 and AS2.There are two scenes, one is "preloader" the other is "tsh".roblem is, the swf file does not display while it loads, then after it loads it displays the preloader for a second and jumps right into the next scene. How can I make it load the preloader scene first, then preload the "tsh" scene? - I have put this code into "preloader"Frame 1:
Code:
var loaded:Number = Math.round ((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
mc_slider._x = -500 + (loaded*5);

i tried to load an image into my stage. with clicking a button so i put actionscript for the button as such :on (release)[code]but the loader is not working the % which has to count to 100 then show the picture doesnt work and the picture appears with out loading..
View 5 RepliesI have a preloader.swf file that contains a preloader animation. I'm using the following actionscript code to make it work:

I'm working on a glorified slideshow, it has a music track that is 3+ minutes long, pretty nice graphics, and transitions. I started builing in Flash and am halfway done... it looks great too !
Problem is, when I'm testing the preloader with the download profiler set to DSL - it crawls and at 1% and on, the soundtrack starts to play... by the time the download is at 42% its at least a minute into the soundtrack and it's in and out, coming on then cutting out but not starting over. Needless to say, this is not okay! I know it's a huge file. SHould I maybe export it as an mov and put it in a FLV player?
I've made a basic RSS news feed widget with a preloader. When I test the preloader in Flash it works fine, counting to 100% and bringing in the widget proper at the end. This happens both if I test the movie outright or simulate the download.
But now I've embedded the preloader in an HTML file using swfobject 2.2, and the browser will only display the first frame of the preloader and go no further, ie it 'freezes' at 0%. When I open the actual preloader .swf file, it's the same - it just stops at 0% even though it worked fine previously when
I exported it from its .fla file.Weird thing is, if I bypass the preloader and embed the widget file in my HTML, it works fine. This is for an assignment however, and I need to build a preloader as part of the criteria.All files (ie the widget .fla and .swf, the html and the preloader .fla and .swf) are in the same folder. Someone advised me when I made a bitmap in the preloader into a movie clip to uncheck the "export in frame 1" box, so I did this. It didn't work. Then someone else advised me to make sure the textbox containing the percentage count was a classic textbox with dynamic text. I did, and it's still not working.

I've implemented an internal preloader in my project but it's not working properly. I use Simulate Download but the preloader only shows after something like 80% is completed, which sort of destroys the purpose of the whole thing.
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
stop();
function preloader(progressEvt:ProgressEvent):void{
var totalBytes:Number = progressEvt.bytesTotal;
var loadedBytes:Number = progressEvt.bytesLoaded;

I have a preloader bar which I get no errors on but when i publish on the web it does not work and it does not appear to work when I use the "simulate download feature" of flash cs4.

function preload(e:Event):void {

I have been on a hunt for weeks, on and off, but I can't seem to find a solution, or even a direction to look in. Long story short, I am using CS4, AS3, and I can not get any type of preloader to work when accessing it online. I have made my own, tried every example file I could find, but not one of them or the possible solutions I found for them will work.
The example files I have used all work from my computer, both by accessing the swf in a browser, or testing within Flash itself, but once I upload them they have all hit one problem or another. I have had the preloader not show up at all, and show immediately but not count down, depending on the type of preloader it is. The only amount of narrowing down I have been able to do is that I can make a preloading frame, but as soon as that frame tries to find out the % loaded of the overall movie, it stops working properly.At the moment I am simply using:
Code: Select alladdEventListener('enterFrame', preloader);
function preloader (e:Event){
if (framesLoaded == totalFrames){[code]...
I put a movieclip on the frame to show that something is happening, but I have not been able to successfully use code to allow for a loading bar, text %, etc.
I have a problem with a preloader that isn't working, it works fine on other files that are loaded in the same way on the same site, the only difference with this file is a script that is at the end of the timeline which uses attachMovie to place some images.. the result is that the preloader doesn't show, there is just a wait and then the movie appears suddenly.

I have searched and searched and can't seem to figure this one out. I have a preloader for each of the images (loaded with XML) in my gallery. I'm trying to get the percent to show up. I got fed up and deleted the percentage part of the preloader it all together... But now I really need one in there. Does anyone have a clue how to code this? Here's the AS for the preloader bar I have so far:
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = container.getBytesTotal();

i have a dynamic preloader i'm working at that seem to give me problem, here the coding
Code:
loadPage(section,1,10);
//
function loadPage(sectionID, startID, endID) {[code]....
i think on this following line is not working, because when i trace the value, it only give "4"
Code:
var loadedBB = _root["tn"+i].holder.getBytesLoaded();
the images is loading, the problem seem to lies on the preloader only,
