If i add a preloader code inside the same fla which i have to load. then it takes some time to load its library content first and then it starts loading the other things in Flash.But normal preloader code will not show loading of its library content. So any body have any idea how to make that without loading via other file. i have to add loader on the same file.

View 2 RepliesI'm going to try to explain this as easy as possible, so that hopefully I get an easy answer back. I'm about to pull my hair out with this one!!In my flash site I have one main swf that is preloaded using:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framesLoaded = (Math.ceil (( _parent.getBytesLoaded() / _parent.getBytesTotal()) * 100));
[code]....
I have a preloader.swf file that contains a preloader animation. I'm using the following actionscript code to make it work:
Code:
var loader_mc:MovieClip = new Preloader();
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[code].....
How can i get adjust this preloader code so it loads my main site from an external swf.
preloader.swf -loads index.swf
loaded = false; mytimer = 0; onEnterFrame = function () { loading = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded().toString()/1024); total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal().toString()/1024); precentage = Math.round((loading/total)100); myprogress = loading/total };
[code]....
My main .swf file is 3 frames with the preloader residing in frame 1. I'm trying to get my preloader to skip frame 2 and jump straight to frame 3 if it's already cached... otherwise, go to and stop at frame 2 if it has not.
Why would I want it to do that? I have a little movie clip on frame 2 that lets the user know that loading is complete but I'm noticing it's always popping up everytime the movie is run -- I only want that movie clip on frame 2 to appear when it's loaded for the very first time. I've been using this code so far:
[Code]...
I'm guessing my problem is that it'll never skip frame 2 and always go to frame 2 followed by 3 regardless because both arguments eventually reach a fully loaded state. I thought about using somekind of loop but not exactly sure how that would solve things.
I've been working on a site where swf's are loaded into main movie with transitions between the sections. I have the following code on the mcContainer...

I used this code as a preloader on a site a made a few months ago.I'm trying to use it again in a wordpress template using PHP and it's not working.The movies loads, but doesn't load the main .swf??why this would work on one site and not another? Is it a PHP conflict?

I have this code in frame 1 [code]In frame 2 the animation/flash application starts.The preloader works fine BUT when it gets to frame 2 it stops. I cannot get it to start. I think it is a simple issue but I cannot see it.

View 1 RepliesI'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.
View 7 RepliesThe preloader animation I created requires the water to fill up the container, but not by stretching or scaling a mask to reveal the water volume at the full point. Most tutorials show how to do this by scale, in relation to bytes loaded.
View 2 RepliesWhen importing external swf's, would it be better to have the preloader code in the external swf or in the main movie? I've seen threads about this everywhere but I don't see the difference. Once the movie pops in it starts preloading right? Is there a faster result when the preloader is in the main movie?
View 2 RepliesI am very new to flash and on the net I've found a class that allows me to use a nice scroll bar for the content. My problem is that I can't get a preloader working with the class. When I want to add scrips to the frames it bugs the class if I try to implement the preloader inside the class I can't get it working. Here's the class I am using for the scroll bar. - if you want to test it, it will require additional data. You can get it all here: [URL].

If I try to insert the preloader script inside the class it has problems with the stop(); & play(); commands. Any way to get a preferably simple preloader working with the class I am using?
I've written a simple preloader which I've put in its own movie clip. The code is as follows:
[code]...
The code works out a value between 0 and 1 called 'loadVal' this is used to animate a masking object a distance defined by a variable called 'yShift'. loadVal is rounded up to give a whole number that is displayed in a text field showing the percentage of the movie which has loaded.The preloader seems to be running and it will trigger the move to play when it completes but I can't see the preloader previewing in the Bandwidth Profiler, even when I set the data speed to be very slow. I've noticed this issue before and it is annoying as I need to see how the preloader looks and works.
I'm trying to listen for events sent from my main movie swf from inside a preloader shell swf.Inside Preloader.swf, I load my Main.swf in the traditional way, with a loader object and I listen for progress events on that. These progress events make my preloader bar scaleX increase, like normal. But, I have an XML file and an image that load inside of my Main.swf as soon as it is loaded. I would like for these unloaded bytes to be shown in my Preloader.swf before the Main.swf gets added to the stage.right now, I am sending the totalBytes from the XML file and the image to my Main.swf document class, which, in turn, dispatches a custom "PreloaderEvent" that holds the total number of bytes.
In Preloader.swf, I add an event listener to the loader ( which holds main.swf ), listening for that PreloaderEvent.Can events be heard in this manner and is this the best way to be preloading this type of file ( one where main.swf loads in the first frame, then starts loading of external images after the swf is running ).I'm just not sure how to get all of those extraneous bytes into one location for my preloader to see at the same time.

I have this code that makes a menu with two buttons appear following the mouse when the mouse rolls over a movieClip:
Code:
var imgOptions:menuMC = new menuMC();
//Makes the image options follow the mouse
function showImgOptions (e:Event):void
{
[code]..
The problem is that the buttons are children of imgOptions, and when the mouse is over these two buttons, the movie reacts like the mouse is not over the imgOptions movieclip.

Are there any other swf to HTML converters, I know there is Wallaby and Swiffy from Google, but does anyone know any others, that support ActionScript. I want to convert a swf file to HTML, but the swf has some ActionScript (AS3) code inside it that is used to populate the swf. I want to be able to convert this into HTML and use JavaScript to populate the HTML version.
