ActionScript 3.0 :: Use An Animated Gif As Preloader?
Nov 28, 2011
I have an animated gif image, and i want to use it as a preloader, I've serched and I only find things like loader bars, and I know how to do that, but I seriously have no idea of how to use an animated gif, if some one please could tell me, step by step, of how to do it, I'm new in flash so please. I have this code to make a loader bar if helps, I use it in a different layer, and the content is in another one.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loading);
[Code].....

I am needing to create a preloader that advances a 10 frame animation every 10% loaded. So there will be a percentage indicator (dynamic text) and a short animation as the load bar (10 frames). The animation is of tape winding into a tape measure, and when it's fully inside the loading is complete and timeline moves onto next frame. I have been able to do this with AS2, using a combination of (stop) and (play) commands whenever the next 10% was loaded.

trying to create an animated preloader.how to do a basic bar preloader but what I want is to fill a swirl shape (attached) based on the amount loaded.I can easily enough create the movie clip where the full outline is there and then it fills up but I have no idea how to turn that into a preloaded and have it fill based on the percent loaded. Am I correct in assuming I can't use a mask because of the irregular shape?

Am I completely hallucinating or what ? That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..

I just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.

I'm wrapping up a small corporate website, but I left the preloader to do until the very end, so instead of changing any layout of my View, I just moved everything to frame 2, and put the preloader on frame 1. I'm using some of the code here: http:[url].... which seems pretty ace.
The problem I'm having though is that CS5's built in preloader is going and loading the whole swf, then it runs my preloader (on frame 1) which causes it to move strait to frame two instantly (I changed it so now it at least plays through the animation then moves on, but it's still not loading anything during that screen).that is causing flash to load the entire swf before even playing my preloader on frame 1. I don't remember having this problem in CS4.

Whenever I export a .fla to an animated GIF, the resulting image looks rather pixelated. I've seen other GIF animations online that look less pixely than mine. Are there some settings that I don't know about?

I recently got Flash CS5 and began working with it on some things. One thing I was making was a simple animation that I was going to publish as an animated GIF. However, upon completing my animation, I've been unable to publish it as one. I can get it to publish as a GIF, yes, but it only shows the first frame.
My Publish Settings for GIFs in Flash CS5 are as such:
Playback: Animated, Loop Continuously
Options: Optimize Colors checked
Transparent: Opaque
Dither: None
Palette Type: Web 216
Are there any other settings I may be missing to ensure I can publish as an animated GIF?

I'm creating a simply animation with background images fading in and out. I've done that part.Now i want to add some animated text (simple scroll to middle of movie), i have it fading in ok, but i want to make it look a little bit more realistic.By this i mean, i'd like it to move towards the centre of the movie, but slow down before it stops at the centre.At the moment it simply moves accross the screen at one speed and then stops abruptly. Doesn't look good.

[URL] the above site has small animated buttons that run through a sequence continuously until the user positions their mouse over the button then it launches into a 2nd sequence (all in the same movieclip). inside each movieclip there is the entire sequence and the first half is the bit that runs continuously - the second half is the mouse 'overstate'. the top layer has an invisible button and the action script:

Yesterday I worked on an educational activity for adult English as a second language students similar to this one and the two pages worked perfectly.However, when I tried to make another page today that incorporates animated gifs, I ran into problems.I lost the ability to embed sound on the down state for all objects on the page.I am using Vista updated, and KoolMoves 7.4.1.I used these steps:
1. Import an image (jpeg) on to the stage.
2. Clicked on it and selected make it a button from the tool bar
.
3. In the OVER State, I drew a layer over the image and made it transparent.
4. I moved to the UP State, copied the OVER State, and added the word.
5. I moved to the DOWN State, copied the OVER State, and returned to the Main Movie.
6. I then right clicked on the image to show properties and changed the sound to YES, went to the down state, and linked to the sound.
7. I then saved, previewed in Play in Browser Window, and the two previous images with sounds (which worked perfectly before I worked on the gif) and the animated gif do not play sound.

I am using Flash CS3 to create a button for a site I am building in Dreamweaver CS4. The button I am trying to create looks like a volume knob on a guitar amp. I need it to point to zero and then "turn up to 10" over a period of 3 seconds when the user hovers over it. It also needs to play a sound. I have created seperate images in photoshop for the knob pointing at each increment 1-10. I added these to a new Flash doc on separate layers. Saved it and it plays as expected when in preview. However I cannot figure out how to get it set in a button. I have created simple buttons but not one that "plays a longer animation" like this.

I have read all kinds of posts on this, most are old from back in the early 00's. I have some flash banners that I made that need .gif back ups and I find myself pretty screwed if I can't do this. I tried exporting an .swf thru the publishing settings in Flash and no matter which setting I choose the gifs are pixelated and very bad quality. I just finished reading a post where it said to use the file - export from the menu which I did use and the quality is much better but nothing near acceptable for the client.
I also read to export the swf to Quicktime and QT can convert to animated gif so while I look at that option is there someone that can point me in the right direction as this could spell trouble for me if I cannot come up with a solution as I have multiple swfs that need to go through Google analyctics and need the gif back ups.
