ActionScript 3.0 :: Timeline Animation Juddering In Preloader?
Dec 7, 2009
I had to build a preloader for a fairly large swf and of course the design of the preloader is a bit complex - it's got to have two looping timeline animations running in it at the same time.I did my best to simplify these as much as possible, but they involve filters and pngs and... ugh.Needless to say, while flash is trying to do all the work of loading the movie AND running these two timelines over and over, it stutters. A lot. And looks bad, and all I can say is... well yeah.A preloader by definition has to be simple, doesn't it?

I'm looking for an animation timeline or video/audio timeline ui or maybe like a gantt chart thing that can be adjustable. It's basically draggable icons in tracks and bars that you can adjust the size of.

I have to create a website in flash for a project that requires me to use the following animation:
Code: Select allimport fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;
[Code]......
I would ideally like this to run during the preloader sequence, but when that didn't seem to work, I figured I would just have it run before the preloader. Unfortunately, even though it works fine on it's own, it will not work when I place it within my website file. I originally had it contianed within a movie clip, and again, it would work okay in a separate file, once I added it to my website file, it stopped working, but I'm still not getting any errors. how to get it to move somehow, even if it has to happen before or even after the preloader?
I have uploaded both the animation in it's separate file (preload play) and the website file (spsite_0046) here: [URL]

My flash application is completely run by classes, each screen being a different class and that class controlling everything on the given screen, with the Main class controlling which screen is on and when. I need a preloader, as my application uses lots of images, sound and video. But I can only find tutorials which focus on loading content in the timeline, and moving onto a frame instead of executing a class.

I wish to build a preloader with some percentage animated movieclips alongside a percentage text.I post an example of where I am so far. I made two movieclips with things happening every 20 frames up to 100 frames. I wish to turn this into a percentage logic so that the actionscript makes my MC moves to the next 20 frames every 20%. See what I mean?

I was wondering how are circular preloaders done? Not just a preloader with a circular animation but actually a circle that grows with the progress... I'm sure there's some complicated math behind it and honestly I'm not a dear friend of math

I'm a french Webdesigner and I've a little problem to make a website in Flash. First, I make a preloader "simple_preloader.swf" to load the website "Easy.swf" but in fact the preloader doesn't work. I use an URLloader because with this component the different Tween start when the website is completely loaded.
Here's the AS3 code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

let's see if I can make this comprehensible. I have a template with an xml dynamic menu. When a button is pushed two movie clips are loaded: 1) a main clip, which has a Kirupa designed preloader taking up the first two frames and 2) a movie clip that contains "controls" (interactivity or animation) for the main clip. All worked great until I added the preloader. Now both movie clips load but the controls no longer act correctly. Do I have to tell the controls to jump to the third frame of the main clip or something because the preloader takes up the first two frames?

In my SWF I have two scenes. A preloader Scene and the actual scene where the magic happens...
I have made all the graphics for the preloader. It's my logo which is unmasking as the loading progress. The animated mask is keyframed, as the logo is abit complex.
After a several searches here, and on the net "outside"

Is there Actionscript 2 that can be put in a preloader and play only the first movie clip on the root timeline instead of all of the root's timeline (which happens using getBytesLoaded or movieclip._framesLoaded() )? I want the preloader to just load the first movie clip and let the user
read this screen while the rest of the root timeline continues to download.

My timeline consists of:
Actionscript layer
Preloader layer ("Loading..." text, frames 1 - 4)
imported SWF layer (starts at frame 5 (labeled "start"))
I'm trying to cobble together the simplest preloader possible from various AS3 tutorials and settled on the preloader coding below.
[Code].....
My AS3 syntax checks OK, but when I test the movie it displays frame 5 and stops there. I can briefly see the preloader display. Without the preloader it runs to the end.

Here is my preloader code:
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{
var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var loaded:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
[Code] .....
Why the animation [logoANIM] isnt going to the specified "loadedFrame" frame #... Additionally the
trace(loaded frame);
isnt outputting the loadedFrame #

I'm making a portfolio site in Flash. It's my first complete Flash site, but I know the basic stuff and I'm trying out some actionscripting. So far I have the site itself, with working navigation and a preloader. But I want to have a animation of falling leaves in the preloader, so people have something to look at when the wait for the site to be loaded. It also fits with the general "feel" of the site. I've been trying to do this by using the Falling Snow v2 tutorial from Kirupa, but something is unclear to me. I inserted the movieclip snow_mc, made the leaf, converted it to another movieclip snow, gave the instance name for this clip snow(I'm just following the tutorial, that's why the leaf is called snow and all) copy-pasted the first actionscript part of the tutorial on the first frame in the snow-mc clip, but then I don't know where to put the rest of the AS. The tutorial says to select the snow clip and press F9 and paste, but to do mean on the first frame in the snow clip? Because I keep getting these errors:
**Error** Symbol=snow, layer=action, frame=1:Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent (load) {
**Error** Symbol=snow, layer=action, frame=1:Line 16: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {[code].....

I'm using the code below on preloaders
loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes=Math.ceil (loadedbytes/1000);[code].....
It doesn't always show all of my preloader, ie: by about 25% of the preloader animation it jumps to the movie. I still want the preloader to play all the frames before it goes to the movie regardless of download speed. Also sometimes it sticks on the final frame of the movie for a few seconds and then jumps to the main scene.

This is problem is cropping up in Flash CS3 rather than Flex, but it's Actionscript 3.If you paste the code below into the main timeline on frame 1 and test it in Flash, the COMPLETE and INIT events both fire. And in Firefox and Safari it works too. INIT and COMPLETE both fire. But in IE (6 and 7, both with the latest flash player) on a PC only the INIT event fires.
Code:
var debugText:TextField = new TextField()
addChild(debugText)
var onRootLoaderInit = function (event:Event):void{
debugText.text += "INITIATED." + " "
} var onRootLoaderComplete = function (event:Event):void{
debugText.text += "COMPLETE." + " "
} loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onRootLoaderInit);
loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onRootLoaderComplete);

I download a flash template to take apart and play around with to make sure i still know my way around the software. Everything was going great until I discovered there are part of it that I can not find. The animation are not in the timeline or anywhere else I've looked. When I scrub through it they aren't there, but when I preview the movie (F12) they are always there. I managed to delete the pictures in those particular animations, but can not edit or find anything else.
Here is the link to the file... [URL]

I am facing a very peculiar problem while creating a preloader in flash. I have created a flash image gallery entirely in flash as requested. And a preloader. Now when I test my movie in local machine using simulate download feature the preloader works just fine. However when I upload it on the server the first frame of the preloader can be seen and it freezes there nothing happens though after some time the movie loads and rest of the animation then plays fine. I have checked my code it doesn't give any error on compiling. The flash SWF is being inserted in a Joomla driven website. However, that will not be a cause of problem I guess as an old preloader seems to run fine. I am using Flash CS5 Demo. I also tried saving file in CS4 and then publishing it. Still no luck.

I don't get exactly how they do the whole preloader animation on: http://www.flashlevel.com/indexv4.html
every time i visit the page the whole preloader animation runs for 0 till 100. also if it is in your cache.
they use 20 stripes to load so (5 percent means 1 stripe!) but how can you animate your preloader if youre preloader does'nt always runs smoothly from 1 till 100?

I have a preloader that works fine when I test i with flash. I publish it and then go to View and Simulate Download. Everything works fine.
But when I upload it to my server it works fine util I hit the reload button, all it does is do the short intro animation to display the preloader and just sits there.
I have attatched the preloader class wich is pretty straight forward.

I'm getting the classic preloader problem of having the preloader not display until a certain percentage (in this case %30) of the total file has loaded. I am importing the TweenLite class in the second frame, and I am also dynamically attaching MovieClips from the library in that frame as well. I've tried putting a frame between the preloader and the title screen and using the Publish Settings to export all the classes in frame 2, but it does not help at all.
