ActionScript 3.0 :: ProgressEvent.PROGRESS : URLLoader Vs Loader?
Jul 10, 2009
I got to make a preloading class to be used all along the project, i need to be able to make some behaviours depending on the user internet connection.i have to load all sort of data and display progress percentage for ; SWFs, JPGs, GIFs, PNGs and Text, XML, Binary..i got problemes while tracing the progress of loading XML requests becaus I have to load XML using URLLoader and other data with Loader:
Code:
if (dispatcher is URLLoader)
{[code].....
as you can see, in xml ther's no progress. is there any work around? or is this a flash related bug?I used Loader to load XML files but got problemes with Event.COMPLETE not firing.

I'm writing a simple image preloader and attempting to use ProgressEvent.PROGRESS on my Loader to update a simple graphic bar. All pretty standard fare so far, so I'll show you the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
The problem is that the "loadingProgress" function gets called twice by the aforementioned listener and so adds the ENTER_FRAME listener twice. Then, only one is removed so if I trace the value of "percentLoaded" it never stops. Is it standard that the PROGRESS event calls it's given function twice? If so, I obviously need to rethink the updating of the loader graphic.

I have an XML file which has info about projects for my portfolio, there are 7 of them at the moment. I'm trying to have a preloader animation show up in place of every portfolio image before it's shown on stage. The problem is that there are 14 of those preloaders being instantiated rather than 7!! How could that be possible? Check out my code:
ActionScript Code:
package {
//import com.prodoubled.XMLLoader;

I am trying to get a loading screen to work. I am using a EventEnterFrame to check how much is loaded but I continue to have problems. I use the code in the first frame on the timeline, with extra movieclips running on that timeline with their own scripts. Can seem to get the loader to display. Considering using a ProgressEvent.
Here's the loader code.
stop();
//trigger the check on every frame
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkProgress);
//find total number of bytes in the file
var totalBytes:uint = this.root.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;

I'm trying to get smoother steps in checking the ProgressEvent when loading the image to the Loader.At this moment my eventrogressEvent checks the progress aprox twice within a second. Is there any way to make it check constantly (or more often), so the progres bar "grows" smoothly instead of "jumping"?

My application asks the user to select files for upload using a FileReference /FileReferenceList. The client then compresses the File data and uses URLLoader to upload the contents of the file.One problem with the URLLoader is that the progress event does not get triggered for uploads. How do I track the upload progress? I am unable to create a FileReference for the newly compressed ZIP ByteArray.

I know you can track the progress of URLLoader receiving variables, but has anyone found a way to track the progress of it sending variables?

Whats the difference between a URLLoader and just a loader?
and when would you use each one? Just been watching a video tutorial and the guy loaded some XML using the URLLoader but I've seen just the Loader being used for other items such as jpg's.

I have a SWF file that is the first frame of the movie and it's only purpose is to load in another SWF and show text corresponding to the progress of download completion. When I test the movie (Simulate Download) it just simulates without showing my text with percentage complete. The only way I can get it to show, is if I add a button to click to make it show. How can I get it, so that when someone opens the movie, it will start the download process, show the percentage, and then upon completion, start the UILoader movie?[code]...

I have a xml image gallery and I want to add a simple progress bar component from flash cs5 to the thumbs when they 1st load up in the carousel.
I understand about the progress bar and how it works and I have tried all day to insert the correct code into my project but I just can't seem to get it right. I dont want to use buttons for the progress bar as demonstrated by Republic of Code, I would just like the progress bars to load when thumbs are loading.
I have included below the progress bar AS3 code from the site "republic of code" which I have been learning from. Also below is the code from my xml gallery.
progress bar AS3 code
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;

I need to do a simple progress indicator while loading an image on background. I'm using the flash.display.Loader class in what seems to be the standard way. The problem is that even though I can see that flash.display.LoaderInfo fires the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS at regular intervals using tracing, a dynamically updated text (or any other graphics object) is updated only once when the loading finishes. It looks like if the display update queued and caused only one update at the end. This is a simplified version of the function which initiates the loading:[code]

I'm running into some problems using the close() method.I'm trying to build a class that checks a resource size before loading it.it's very simple: I use the Loader class to load the resource, listens to the first progress event and immediately closes the connection with the Loader.close() method.However, the close() doesn't seem to stop the Loader after the first progress event dispatched.here is a quick copy & paste frame code just to demonstrate my point:
Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[code]....
The ProgressEvent is thrown until the big.jpg loading is complete.How could I stop it just after the first progress event?

I have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
trace("LOADED");
}

The application is loading a fairly large SWF from the server using the Loader class. Strangely enough, the progress bar immediately goes to 100% (but the loading still takes a while after that). The code is below, but you'll see it's basically too simple to break.
It has worked when the application was on a different server, so I though maybe the new server wasn't sending the size of the large SWF in the http headers. Firebug does show a progress bar though, so that is not the case, the information should be available.---
Update: That's actually incorrect, Apache does in fact not send the Content-Length the header. Going to look into that. :EndUpdate
It also works when I run the loader swf locally and change the URL (new URLRequest("Placemat.swf")) to the absolute URL of Placemat.swf on the server.
var l:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(l);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, function(e:ProgressEvent) {
s.setProgress(e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal);

I have an SWF movie (1375 frames) and created a progress bar (248px wide) with a slider that moves according to the movie progress. I'm doing that next way:Calculating the distance for the slider to be moved each frame (248 / 1375) On each ENTER_FRAME moving the slider for the calculated distance The problem is - the movie ends far before the slider reaches the end of the progress bar.
I'm thinking that the distance (Step 1) is is somehow ends floored by Flash and the actual distance it moves the slider is smaller than required. That's why the movie ends, but the timeline control just passed the 2/3 of its way. My question is - is there any solution for the problem? Or any other way to go, if it's a wrong one?

I have a progress bar inside a repeater and therefore I will need to use getRepeaterItem to set it's progress as suggested in this question.
How can I do that such that the value of progress may be taken from repMonitor.currentItem.threatLevel?
<mx:Accordion id="monAccordian" includeIn="Monitoring" x="10" y="10" width="554" height="242" change="monAccordianChange()" >

After scratching my head for months about a ProgressEvent issue I decided to post my problem.I've been searching the web for a long time about my problem and all I could find was people with similar problems..But none of them had a solution.I've created a SWF file to upload files to the web server.The even triggers the progressEvent.PROGRESS to let a javascript function know when the progress has changed.When it's done uploading it triggers Event.COMPLETE.When I test my code at first it doesn't seem to work.The progress is event 2 or 3 times and then claims it's finished (While the Event.COMPLETE isn't fired yet).When the file is actually uploaded flash triggers Event.COMPLETE accordingly.o Event.COMPLETE is correct.. but ProgressEvent.PROGRESS is not.At least, thats what I thought, when I tested it on another pc (With windows XP 64bit) it worked (Magically?) tried it on a Mac and it, again, worked...why it behaves like this?
Below is my code as it is right now.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
