ActionScript 3.0 :: Small Preloader - Content SWF Does Not Start At Frame One
Nov 1, 2009
I have a preloader.swf that loads the main "content" swf of my website. All is working alright, except once the preloader is done, the content swf doesn't start at frame one. Basically in the content swf I have some images and text that scroll onto the screen at frame one before the 'home' screen, but when preloader finishes it skips the animation and goes straight to the home screen. This isn't a big deal, but obviously it would be nice it people could see the animations at the start...
The script for the preloader is:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent .PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLET E, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

I am designing a website with html pages and flash pages. When the user open a flash page (embedded in an html page) i would want to have a preload script. I found a couple of them but they all need to start at the first frame and have a go to and play script after. So my problem is that I already have an important script that make a image follow my mouse and the script needs to be on the first frame to. Is there any way to have both or maybe to have the preloader on a separate file or even change the way my script is written ?

Basically what i have is a intro mc on frame 1... then frame 2 is my preloader. then frame 3 is my videoclip atm. What i want to happen is have the preloader to at least appear for a small interval. So intro movie plays, then preloader plays. for a desired interval by going into the preloader_mc mc for a smalla mount of time. As of right now it loads to fast and the preloader_mc just goes right into scene3. here is my preloader code
// Preloader Script
// ==================================================
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var bl = _root.getBytesLoaded();[code].........

my preloader starts at 55 percent. this is because the first frame (if i can trust the bandwidth-profiler) has a size of 32 kb. i think this is strange, because the b-profiler also tells me the film has a total size of 35 kb. after the first preloader frames are some small files with transitions only, and then there is the main frame, which has a size of 18 kb my preloaderframe only contains a small bar and a dynamic textfield, just like the tutorial says... i ve already searched the forums, i found that quite many people have the same problem, but i didnt find any solution... i do not load any swfs dynamically. the only thing i can imagine that could cause that problem is the embed font which i use for the dynamic textfield in the preloader. is that possible?

I'm trying to broaden my horizons with it and so I'm trying to do an update of a quiz program my employer has. Everything has worked well, except for the timer. The button that starts the game has two options, "study" or "exam"; if the study is selected, there is no countdown, just the score keeper. If the exam option is selected, the timer is show (counting up). But, press "Start" and while the quiz begins, the timer, in either case, does not.
I'm going to post the actionscript for the timer that was already there, as well as the start button. I'm hoping someone can explain how this timer is supposed to work and why it's not; and where the disconnect lies in pressing the start button and making it run.The timer is embedded in a movie clip, with two dynamic text boxes, that are for some have no instance name; and actionscript spread out over several frames.Frame 1:
Minutes = "00";
Seconds = "00";
Centiseconds = "00";

I made a gear and created a 40 frame long tween for it using this: i36.tinypic.com/97tk0h.png @ 24 fps. But when the tween reaches the 40th frame and starts again from 1st frame there is a small small lack. I mean i pauses for very very very small time (almost not noticeable, but i see it anyway as developer). So is there any way how to make it work perfect with out the small lack/pause?

We have some problem with the speed of our website. That's why we want to start a preloader when those pages will be opened by our visitors. Example of page were we want the preloader[url]...it's the first 'round' preloader and the class code is under the preview. We want to start this preloader when the file mobiledescription.php will be opened.
This is my first experience with flash. So how can i start this preloader on those pages, because i have no idea right now?

I'm having a problem looping through my timeline, I want to use JSFL to hit each keyframe, perform an action (in this case breakapart, but thats a different question on a different thread) and then go to the next keyframe.
[Code]...
JSFL has proven to be the utter bane of my existence. I'm still relatively new to AS in general and AS3 in specific, and this is my first foray into the world of JSFL. I need to learn how to create this tool for work, and I am the only person here with any experience in javascript, so I'm pretty much on my own.

So I made a ridiculously long Flash animation, but now I have to break down to certain parts. It's all made in one scene.
My question is can I start the playhead on a frame other than frame 1. Say frame 595, I've tried gotoAndPlay(595);, but to no avail. I've searched for a good 2 hours on this too. Is something so simple not possible in Flash?

I have made a preloader and the problem is that at the start it displays NaN. And the code is like this:
ActionScript Code:
thumb_load.onEnterFrame = function() {
var gbl = imageLoader.getBytesLoaded();
var gbt = imageLoader.getBytesTotal();
var pro = Math.round(gbl/gbt*100);
thumbProce_mc.procent.text = pro + "%";
if (!isNaN(pro) && gbl == gbt && pro != 0 && imageLoader._width>20) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;

I know dozen of ppl have probably have already posted this problem:
My preloader doesn't start at zero, but rather it starts at 26. Before it reaches
26 it is a blank screen and i want to see the preloader when it starts at zero.
I have the bar, barbkdg, and text box all on frame 1 in different layers.
in frame 2 is a motion tween.

I'm creating a movie with heavy animation and audio in Flash CS4. I have a preloader that I purchased from flash den.com and I believe it's pre set to begin the movie when the total file is done loading. But I want the movie to begin when half the total .swf file is loaded. Here is my code on frame 1
FRAME 1:
var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
preloader._width = amountLoaded * 250;
loadText.text = Math.round(amountLoaded * 100) + "%";

I have a problem animating the preloader of the site I've been working on. I want a movie clip (a dark grey rectangle) to start at width = 0 and then extend to the width of the stage. But it just doesn't move, it preloads perfectly but doesn't really extend with the progress event.
Here's the code:
loadBar_mc.width = 0
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("Bnaider.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void {

at first, I thought I could manage this myself searching the forums about "preloader" but none of the solutions seem to work. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm using the FLVPlayer with an external file. What am I looking for?
1. Well, the preload code for frame 1 that makes sure the external F4V (movie.f4v in the same dir) is loaded 100% before it jumps to frame 2 where the movie should start playing...
2. If possible, a progress bar.

So I have a photo gallery that loads with a series of thumbnails that link to larger images.The entire gallery is dynamically added to the stage using attachMovie when a user clicks on a button. Because the gallery is pretty big, I want to add a preloader that tells the user that thumbnails are loading. I have set my gallery up using three frame. The first frame measures how many bytes have been loaded, the second frame loops the timeline back to the first frame using 'gotoAndPlay(1);' The preloader code on the first frame looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());

I have a preloader that I downloaded... What I want to do is have this load only a certain percentage of the move before it continues to play the file.I assume that I have to edit the line of code that gets the total amount of bytes for the file itself... expressed below:
Code: Select alltotal = this.getBytesTotal(); // Movie Length
Since the variable is 'total' how do I make it load only 25% then start? I
Code: Select alltotal = this.getBytesTotal(25); // Movie Length ?
Code: Select alltotal = this.getBytesTotal() * .25; // Movie Length ?

I have searched all over the place, and I can't quite seem to figure it out. Can someone help with a guide on scripting a simple preloader for the actual content that the XML files points to? I will give you my .fla and source code.
