Code:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
stop();
function update(e:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor((e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal);
preloader_mc.preloaderBar_mc.scaleX = percent/100;
[Code] .....
The preloader works fine in all browsers except in IE if you reload (refresh) the webpage the preloader stops at 0. It works OK the first time if your cache is cleared but not the second.
I've published directly from Flash and using same html page.
I've been trying to get this preloader working for days! I finally got it working, and now when I upload it to my site and refresh the page, the .swf file is stuck at the preloader screen.
This is my code:
//Stop Framestop();
//Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loadsthis.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loading);
//Runs when the loading progress has changedfunction loading(event:ProgressEvent):void{//Determine the percent loaded from bytesLoaded and bytesTotalvar percent:Number = event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal * 100;
//Stretch a progress barprogressBar.scaleX = percent / 100;
//Set the progressText text box to the percent loadedprogressText.text = int(percent) + "%";
//When the load is finished, go to frame 2if(percent == 100){this.gotoAndStop(2);}}
I am facing a problem using a preloader which is nested in an MC. When I load an external swf the preloader gets stuck on 100%. This is the code for the preloader:
ActionScript Code:
//stoped the playback
MovieClip(root).stop();
//importing all neccessary libraries
import flash.utils.Timer;

1. Need to pass to a video player: the flv URL, and an XML file that defines Cue Points.This would be a single node:
Code:
<cuepoints>
<cuepoint time="0:1:12" title="Agenda" url="slide02.html"/>
</cuepoints>
2. Load the XML file and add those Cue Points to the video.
3. At each defined Cue Point, simply refresh the slideshow frame with the appropriate slide.
4. Set the active Cue Point with java script, to tell the player to stop and start playing at the specified Cue Point's time.
I have a site at [url]... with flash content on the home page. The preloader works fine the first time you load the page, but if you click any link on the page, and then hit "back" in Internet Explorer to get back to the home page, the preloader shows stuck at 100%.
The movie file has 2 frames. The 1st for the preloader, and the 2nd for the content. Here's the code for my preloader[code]...

I've been reading up on it for a while now, but I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a problem with this line of code:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
When I put it into a flash file, the resulting swf "sticks" on the first frame.....but only in browsers. Not in the standalone flash player.
Here are the steps:
1. Make a new flash file with two frames.
2. On the first frame make any shape and type this in its action window:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
You should probably put a stop(); on the second frame.
3. Opening this in any browser and it will stick on the frame with the shape.
I just added a motion tween on the main timeline only to realize it doesn't run. Only frame 1 is executed, including its AS3 code. No I could not locate any stop() command within the AS3 code.
View 5 RepliesGotoAndPlay acts strangely. I have mc and another mc (instance name: "animation") inside of it. Problem is that the first frame of animation mc stops for TWO frames. Why does it stop for two frames, even thought it should just go from the first frame to the second? Here is the code so you can test it yourself. I have also attached the fla file with this message.
Code:
mc1.stop();
mc1.animation.stop()
var s = 0
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop)
function loop(e:Event) {
s++
if(s==2) mc1.animation.gotoAndPlay(1), mc1.gotoAndStop(2)
textCount.text = s
}
I have an MC "homeBtn" that I'm using as an animated button. The "homeBtn" is made of 2 mirroring MC's named "topMC" and "bottomMC" since they mirror and function the same I will be addressing only the "topMC" Inside "topMC" is the animation named "liquidMC" These are all MC properties. Below is the AS3 Code. Works well but when the mouse scrolls out the animation is stuck ie stops animating and not going back to frame 1

I have a movie which is serving as a button.When you rollover the image, it grows, and stops.When you rollOut, it shrinks, and stops.This code works fine. The Problem:When you scroll the mouse over quickly, the animation get stuck and doesn't execute the rollOut code.This is most likely because the first rollOver action hasn't yet completed.Here's my code:
thumb_test_4.onRollOver=function () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);

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.
View 2 Repliesat 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.
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 ?

does anyone knows any way to code xml preloader? i need the XML preloader in the same frame.....not in two frmaes or with out using gotoAndPlay(); to next frame...

The questions I posted last week dealt with XML and localConnection. Basically I had 2 swfs on a page. The main swf has the ability to modify some XML data (via an ASP script and database.) The second swf includes content populated by some of that XML data. When the data is modified, the first swf sends a call to the second (via localConnection) to refresh that data. I had everything working perfectly Saturday afternoon until I tested it in IE7 (on Win XP Home.) Older versions of IE, Firefox and Safari all showed no problems, but when the data should have been modified nothing seemed to happen. Nothing updated, etc.
I was able to confirm in the database that the update was actually happening, just not appearing. At first I thought IE7 wasn't playing nice with localConnection, but I eventually determined that IE7 wasn't playing nice with XML since it would happen in swfs that didn't use localConnection at all. localConnection was running and acting as it should, but IE7 was caching the XML feed even though the only component ever making a call to the XML was the swf. The XML was getting cached in IE and IE wouldn't let go (the only way to see updated data was closing and reopening the browser,or going into 7's new browsing history to delete the cache.)
The work-around I used was to add a querystring variable to URL for the XML feed. Every time the swf looks for it, it uses getTime to add a number of milliseconds to the end of the string so IE thinks it's getting a new file:
Code:
currentDate = new Date();
currentTime = currentDate.getTime();[code]....
I've been testing it on and off since Saturday evening and it seems to work without issue.
I have a very simple panel for adding some data to MySQL db using php scripts. The main view of that panel is a list of the collected data and a button to add a row at the end of the current db records. Here's the work flow:
- I click the button to add a record
- Fill out the form
- Hit the submit button
- The record has been added to the db
- The form disapears and the list of the records is displayed again
The problem is: - The list with the records doesn't include just added record To solve that problem I came up with an idea to put all the elements within the MovieClip "list", and try to remove this MovieClip from memmory and redo whole script again. Submit button of the form has the code to trigger the php script adding the records and tells the timeline to gotoAndPlay(2) which the code you'll find below. Unfortunately, that seems to not working.

I'm creating a whole website with one .fla file. I'll attach the flash file to a html page in dreamweaver and that'll be that. But something has occured to me and that is if anyone presses the refresh button, the whole site will jump to the frame just after the preloader. Which would be fine under a normal circumstance if the main page were on that frame but in this website there is a movieclip on that frame which forms into the main page on the frame after.
So how do get it to refresh onto the main page?
i'm sending flash vars to php, but the .swf refresh when the fuction "send" is call.
fo exemple:
var myFlashVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myFlashVars.cor="Blue";
myFlashVars.send("http://urlpage.php","_self");
when this happen, the page refresh and also the .swf
is it possible to get data from mysql database and post it to a flash movie dynamically without refreshing browser?

ok,so this is probably a stupidly simple fix, BUT - i have tinkered with it for a few hours now and im getting no where....i have my site tween in a graphic ( my logo ), and then the preloader pops up......the preloader is on frame 15 inside its own MC...inside the MC is another MC named loadBar, and here is the code:
function loadProgress(root:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (root.bytesLoaded*100)/root.bytesTotal );
loadBar.width = percent * 3;

I am just wondering if anyone knows how to make it so my preloader takes me to frame 2 of the main page rather than frame 1. I have added my code below. Basically I just want it to take me to frame 2 of main.swf (which is in a separate swf to 'main.swf'). Is there a simple way to do this?
[is there for example a way to insert a gotoAndPlay which deletes itself after its first use at the beginning of frame 1 in main.swf..

I am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.
So I have inherited this flash project which when completely published is basically a tutorial video for software. It is set up such that there is one large movie that loads other flash movies via actionscript (I guess).
The project was supposed to be designed so that it would be easy to make translated versions, so all the software UI items (File menu, tool box, etc.) are cut into pieces and in the library. In theory a person could go and just switch out the library graphics and presto, you have a French version instead of English.
While all these elements are in the library, you can never actually see them on the stage in Flash. When you publish the project, all the items are in place. I have hunted through the actionscript and don't see the images called up.
Does anyone know how these images are being called up into the actual final swf?
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how easy (or tricky) it is to get data exchanged (either directly or indirectly) between Flash and Excel? IF generally it's to be avoided then is/are there any other option(s)
View 3 RepliesI have 1656x1332 px 30fps movie clip sliding or rotating on click event inside of 850x550 px stage. For some reason the clip gets stuck on rotation sometimes, even though the whole file is only 46 KB. Moreover, depending on browser, the rotating part can fly completely off the stage and the only way to get it back is to refresh.[code]
View 4 RepliesI have simple sliding pages mechanism in my flash file, all done with AS3 code. Now the pages, which are movieclips, are slid off the screen on a button press. Sometimes, everything goes smoothly, but on some people's computers the sliding pages get stuck in the middle, and then the next slide starts from the wrong position. This throws everything off the loop.
