ActionScript 3.0 :: When A SWF Is Downloading/streaming, What Is The Load And Run Order
Jan 22, 2010
When a SWF is downloading/streaming, what is the load and run order?
Am I right that the first thing downloaded is the main timeline as defined by the document class, and the document class's constructor is the first thing run? Or does the SWF wait untill the first frame is loaded and run the actionscript located there first? In that case, what about SWF based on a Sprite instead of a MovieClip?
I'm trying to make a swf that preloads itself, so I want to make sure the first thing that happens is that it stops and displays the preloader and its associated assets. I'm worried that the preloader might take so long to load that it doesn't display immediately, leaving the user wondering why there's no preloader preloader...

I have an image gallery of 6 images on a frame of my timeline. what I want to happen is instead of all images trying to load up at the same time when at that point in the timeline I want the 1st image to process and load then move on to the 2nd image here is how I am loading those images.
location1.loadMovie ("image1.jpg");
location2.loadMovie ("image2.jpg");
location3.loadMovie (image3.jpg");
and so on.
can I edit this code somehow so that the 2nd through 6th images do not load until image 1st is fully loaded and so on.

i have a XML file with 10 links to images... what i want is to make flash load them and add them in the order they are written in the xml... so i came up with the code for that using Event.COMPLETE & if (stage.contains(something)) the thing is, my aim is to shorten my code and make it more professional using a for loop instead of repeating the code over and over... but all my trials were unsuccessful.how can i put my code in for loop.[code]

I have a gallery set up with three primary images. Clicking a primary image brings up it's specific subset of alternate views for the product.
I've managed to get the loading and placement down as I need it, but the images are not loading in the correct order. I've tried several solutions, the current one is that an array of each Sub Image is processed in order. It looks kinda of sloppy but image 1 loads, and when image 1 is complete, image 2 loads. After each image loads, it is put into another array. This array is used to resize and place the files. However when I do so, instead of the placement order being
item[0]
item[1]
item[2]
item[3]
item[4]
it keeps ending up like this:
item[4]
item[2]
item[1]
item[3]
item[0]
Here is the relevant code. When the following function starts with sArray, the items are confirmed to be in order.
Code:
function loadSubs(e:MouseEvent):void//LOAD SUBD
{
clearGallery();

I have a group of Movieclips that I want to load in a random order, until they are all loaded. In other words, when the movie starts, a random MC of the bunch would load, followed by another random, and on until they are all loaded.Right now I have the MCs with a quick alpha fade in onLoad, problem is they all load at the same time, but what I'm trying for is an organic type of loading, like they're blooming up all over the place.

I was wondering if there was a way to specify the order in which I load in external swfs. I have my main swf which loads in music, navigation and content, they all load at the same time, say i wanted to load in the music swf after the content has finished loading, how would i do that?

I have 9 movie clips which I want to load in random order, so that viewers who come to the webpage don't always see the same thing. I have them set up as 9 frames within another mc. I need EXCEPT it always displays the first one first, and then the rest in random order. I tried making the first frame empty, but then there was a big lag before it showed anything, because of the timer. Here's the script I used:
myMc.stop();
time = getTimer();
wait = 500;//1000ms = 1 second
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){

I was taking a look at this great site at the link interior Design. How it's done that gallery? I noticed that the pictures are loaded in order, before they are asked to be shown. When the user clicks on the number of the image, it has already been loaded by the swf.

I have a small gallery that loads thumbnails and the links they represent from an xml file. When I test it gallery on my computer everything works fine. However, when I simulate a download or when I upload to an actual site things start going wrong.[URL]I modified what i needed too and reused the rest. Everything works fine except for that the load order of the thumbnails is reversed. I haven't really changed any part of the code that would cause this, or at least I don't think I have.
The real problem, however, is that when i simulate a downloaded version or when upload them to my test site, the position of the thumbnails are swapped. A thumbnail i expected to load in a certain place and order has now taken the place of another one. When clicking a thumbnail it displays the picture of the thumbnail that should actually have been there, so the links still load in the correct order.When i change the simulated bandwidth while testing the movie, the position alter. At one bandwidth they show up in a certain order and when then trying out another bandwidth the order changes.
The XML load function:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var xnRootNode:XMLNode = this;
//trace( xnRootNode );

The images are to go from 1 - 20 ... Left to Right on stage. The images are named image_1 - 20 and everything is right as far as that's concerned.
Will images load according to their size before XML order? I'm loading multiple images from XML like so:
Code:
XML...
function formatXMLContent():void {
for (var i:int = 0; i < tourID.length(); i++) {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

is it possible to load MJPEG streaming into a flash file?I tried the loadmovie, loadmovienum function and nothing - they only carry SWF or JPG! Unfortunately, I can't convert this stream to those formats because it is a stream in real time from a IP camera!
I could even use an intermediary to make this conversion on-the-fly (with ffmpeg for example) but the computer resources it consumes is absurd ... And considering a lot of cameras, it does not offset the cost!

I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?

I'm struggling with a flash file that I want to play two different sound files when the appropriate buttons are pressed.I've gotten it to the point where it will load without any errors popping up, but instead of playing the second sound when I press the button for that sound, it plays the first sound again. Here's the code:
var sc1:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var s1:Sound = new Sound();
s1.load(new URLRequest("http://www.website.com/wells.mp3"));

the first is related with sounds buffering and the second is about dynamic drawing.I work with Flash Professional 8.0.
1) I have published a flash work in my site, my swf file loads a sound externally, it doesn't start before the sound is completely loaded because the music is related to the animation's events. If the user wants to see the movie again by pressing a button, it doesn't start instantaneously, it seems like loading the sound (from website) again and not from the user's computer, it's supposed there's already a copy of the mp3 file in the user computer cause the movie was saw once before. The music is set to load as streaming, not as event. There's no other file in the movie, like bitmaps or whatever could slow the re-starting the movie. What am I doing wrong?.
2)I want the effect of curves, spirals, branching curves that are be drawing in the background. I saw these on tv commercials and they look cool. Flash methods for drawing are well but for a project like I told, it becomes very time consuming.

I need to figure out how to utilize one SWF player/file to load different streaming F4V files dynamically.[code]...
Currently I am publishing a separate SWF player/file for each F4V, but this is unacceptable. I need to use one SWF file to load different F4V files. I'm not that knowledgeable in the ways of Flash, but I believe that the "src" attribute of the embed tag and the "name='movie'" attribute of the object's param tag needs to point to the SWF player/file. So does anybody know how I can manipulate the object and embed tags to make them load a different F4V file into the SWF player?

I'm in the process of including a 1 minute .flv into a flash doc. I don't want to stream the video since i want the video to load almost instantly and do not have any room for streaming progress bars also i can't use flash8 and to get video to stream in flash 6 is a pain.
What i have planned to do now was slice up the 1 minute video into 6/ 10sec clips. Put each clip in a seperate external movie which will range from 50-100kb each in kb's. I want to preload the first video and then play it, then in the background load external video2 while external 1 is playing. then play external 2 at the end of external video1 and do the same for the rest of the videos. Its a lot more work but i think this way i can reduce load time and have the video play almost straight away.
What do you guys think? is there a easy way to do it and achieve the same results or should i continue with my concept above, and if i do what i have planned is there any code that you can direct me too that will load a movie / hide it and play when called for?
