I made a preloader that works perfectly to load one of my .swf's on my machine, but how do I make it work on a site? I'm mocking up a site currently just using local files.

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 );

A SWF (published as AS2 for player version 9) sits on a page called home.aspx with other textual content. The SWF is a wrapper that loads in various other SWFs based on flash cookie data. Here is the problem: In I.E. (and not Firefox), sometimes the wrapper SWF hangs and fails to load the external SWFs.
The only time this happens is when returning back to this home page via another link that ends in a hash mark (home.aspx#) or to (default.aspx) which is supposed to act the same as home.aspx Also, this doesn't happen every time. Only sometimes. Anyone have any clues? I'd love to provide a link but this is on a beta server at the moment and I don't think I'm allowed to.

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'm constructing a website in flash, and on each page of the website I have a dymanic text field pulling data from a .txt file for that page, (the news page has a dymanic text field called "newsText" which pulls data from "news.txt" for example) The website im working on is here: [URL] If you have a slower internet connection, whenever you click on the link to a new page, a small white square will appear in the corner before the content has fully loaded, this white square is a result of the scrollbar being disabled due to the content not being loaded yet (and thus having nothing to define wether or not it should need to scroll)
as the website grows in content this will become more and more of a problem. My actionscript ability is really limited. So whats the simplest way I can add a preloader to the page to load the content of the .txt file before displaying it?

I am currently building an animated intro page for a website and have built a preloader for it following the Preloading in ActionScript3 tutorial. When I test my movie and simulate the download, all works perfectly. However after uploading it onto the the web to test it out, I encountered a problem. The page just remains static, with the percentage stuck on 100 and the main content swf doesn't load. Here is a link to this page causing me grief, [URL]

I'm trying to preload external swf files as needed and show the progress each time a file is being preloaded. It works exactly as intended when I simulate it on my desktop but not at all when uploaded on the web: first of all nothing happens up until 50% of the main movie is already loaded and then when the the attempt is being made to load additional content, some weird number displays (-214...%) instead of the percentage. Take a look: [URL]

I'm working on a website ([URL] - don't think the flash file can be seen in FF yet) and I want to load an swf-file with some illustrations and such. As this could get a little big, I have made another swf-file which shows a preloader and loads the first swf-file. The preloader works perfectly when tested in Flash CS3, but when uploaded to and tried on my webhost's server, the preloader doesn't load anything. Instead it of the load-percentage it just writes "NaN". You can find the as3-code down below. The preloader-swf and the swf to be loaded are located in the same folder. Both are as3.
This is the code from my as-class file:
package classes{
// Imports necessary classes
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;

I have a big problem with preloader for my flash site. It works on one server but when i try it on another server it does not work. On site where it does not work it displays Infinity in IE and all the time 100% in firefox but in flash when traced preloader works and on another server too. It is the same file.Is there any specific function or mode that server must have or enable for a preloader to work.

not working

It is really annoying since the one not working is where i am hosting my page.

I made a preloader for a flash slideshow with different announcements in AS 3.0.When I export the movie to preview it everything works fine. The loading rectangle fills up and then you see the slideshow. The problem comes after I embed it in HTML. Instead of the Preloader to show all i get is a white rectangle the size of the SWF and then the slideshow begins. It's as if it was ignoring the preloader completely. I don't understand why it works when I export it but not on the actual site.
Heres my preloader script:
Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loadingInfo);
function loadingInfo(e:Event):void {

But ive noticed an anomaly. When i test the movie (with simulate download settings ofcourse so that you can actually see the preloader work) the preloader shows only from 90% onwards to 100% and then the page loads up. Which means when i run the movie, the result is a blank frame for quite sometime, when actually the preloader should be showing but it doesnt, instead its just the project default window color, then it starts the preloader at the frag end of the bytes coming in, so it only shows 95%-100% and then the page loads.
The same preloader method (2 looping frames with its AS2) works perfectly in front of the keyframe that contains another webpage, Home.swf which is a seperate file and things work perfectly there.o i put a trace into the 2 looping frames to see whats going on with the acquired bytes variable. I was shocked to see that the preloader loop isnt even running. It running itself only at 94% onwards and then ofcourse reports the percentage on the screen correctly. But till 94% its not able to sense the bytes getting loaded. It senses only after 94% and then starts reporting it.

I would like to add preloader with progress bar to my AS3 page. It's an image gallery. The preloader is on frame 1 and the content is on frame 2. It seems like that the loader works after all the content is loaded. And the progress bar doesn't appear on the screen. What am I doing wrong? For the quick view, the code is below. I also attach the code. To make it simple, I am testing the code with just one image.
frame 1
Code: Select allstop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loadF);

Here's the code I'm using to call the preloader and call the movie. I got this basic code (now modified for this example) from a nice person on this forum. I put it into different frames that a user's click would activate - and therefore download the jpg into that frame.That works after the user clicks into each frame. BUT ON THE FIRST FRAME, it doesn't work. The code just like this below DOES download the movie, but doesn't launch the preloader.
stop();
_level0.containerMC.loadMovie("HTTP://www.yoururlhere.com/yourimage.jpg");
/* movie loads */

My portfolio is a combination of elements from Kirupa's gallery and my own.The portfolio works fine but the loader just doesn't work correctly. It can be tested at URL...In Firefox the loadbar flashes once(which it shouldn't do) and the dynamic text box displays a NaN% and then 100% so something isn't being defined correctly. In IE 6.5 however there is no NaN% displayed, the preload bar flashes once and then works fine. I don't know why there would be a difference between browsers.Please take a look at the code below and let me know why the files being loaded into the picture container aren't correctly preloading. It's been a week of working on this endless portfolio and I just want it to be over.[code]

I just discovered a strange thing : I have a preloader in all my swfs. All work great online and when I test the swf or the preview in html exepted 1 : the first swf to be loaded called homepage.Here is the schema of the site : HTML page is linked ( with a enter btn)to the 1st swf called Homepage. No preloader gets visible and so, the swf takes a long time to load after clicking the enter button of the html page.Note : the html page is visible until the swf is totally loaded....

If anyone has a minute, can you look at this script and spot the flaw. I got it fron[URL].. It MOSTLY works, the bar travels across as it is loading, but the dynamic elements (percent loaded, # of bytes loaded vs. # bytes total) are blank areas. Haven't a clue. I can e-mail you the Flash file, I saw no provision to upload it to this Forum.

I've written a simple preloader which I've put in its own movie clip. The code is as follows:
[code]...
The code works out a value between 0 and 1 called 'loadVal' this is used to animate a masking object a distance defined by a variable called 'yShift'. loadVal is rounded up to give a whole number that is displayed in a text field showing the percentage of the movie which has loaded.The preloader seems to be running and it will trigger the move to play when it completes but I can't see the preloader previewing in the Bandwidth Profiler, even when I set the data speed to be very slow. I've noticed this issue before and it is annoying as I need to see how the preloader looks and works.

my site is comprised of several images loaded dynamically and added to the display list. i declare a bunch of loaders on the first frame, and add a preloader progress listener to the largest image to have one preloader for all the assets. I then added a COMPLETE listener to the same image, and add that image, along with all the others in the onComplete function. i have two issue. the preloader doesnt work in Safari. but works fine in Firefox? and i'm totally stumped on what it could be? another compatibility issue that seems to be arising is that one of the galleries of my site which corresponds to the "drawn" link. also does not seem to be working in Safari, but works in Firefox. its a fairly simple xml based image gallery, which loads thumbs on to the stage, and then loads a larger version of each, when the corresponding thumbnail is clicked. the other galleries of the site work fine in safari, and are basically the same code wise.heres my code for the loading and preloader in the first frame

import caurina.transitions.*;

I've built a SWF with the top layer being an invisible button. As a test, I simply uploaded the file to the server and clicked it. Here is the URL where the file is located: [URL] When clicked anywhere, it should take you here: [URL] and it does. I sent the SWF to a third party vendor who have placed the masthead at the top of a page: [URL] which its on their server. When you mouse over the image, it appears clickable, but if you click it, no action takes place. It's the exact same file. Why is it working from one place, but not the other?

At run time, Is it possible to detect the 'Connection Speed of the user' and change the way my preloader works? Say If the user is on a Dial up connection then play the initial 50% of the movie that has been loaded while loading the remaining 50% in background, If the user is on DSL or cable then load the entire 100% movie and so on.

We're using the script to have an online brochure, and now want to be able to put it on a CD for offline browsing as well.When it is viewed offline, an error message pops up and wants me to add the page/folder in here:Since this is a plugin script that doesn't have an fla file for me to edit, what are my options here? I've tried to decompile the swf file in order to make the changes, but that doesn't work (the script is fairly complex, so I didn't think it would decompile fully).

I've got my swf which plays fine when opened in a browser - it's a container called 'country' that's coded to load the different clips (clip1.swf, clip2.swf, etc.) - but when placing it into an HTML page it won't load the clips and I'm thinking it's because of some actionscript error.
[URL]
Scripts are all loaded on the server in the /Scripts/ folder Below is the ActionScript from the country.swf container that loads the clips. what I'm doing wrong to get it to load on the HTML page?
function _playClip(fileName)
{
var clipName = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf("/") + 1, fileName.indexOf(".")) + "_mc";
if (_root[clipName] == undefined)

I'm using Flash CS3, exporting for flash player 9 and having troubles with the code below only in Firefox 3 (flash player 9 or 10).In IE 6 & 7, all works OK.The code below should show small thumbnails of images. It does work on everything I tested except firefox 3. What is weird is that if I empty my cache and load the page online, it does not show any thumbnails or sometimes only one. However, if i reload the page without emptying my cache, it will then work perfectly.Here is my code :

I have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.
