ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Preloader That Forces A Reload From The Server, And Not The Cache

Apr 30, 2009

I need to create a preloader that forces a reload of the Main.swf from the server, and not from the user's cache.

This is because the site (for a big music festival) will get frequent updates, and users will visit more than once.

I have my HTML-metatags set up like this:

HTML Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content ="0" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content ="no-cache" />

...but these get kind of, uhm, ignored?

So now I'm looking for a solution in my AS3 preloader. I've tried this trick, that works fine with xml-files, but with swf's it doesn't seem to work:

PHP Code:

l.load(new URLRequest("Main.swf"  + new Date().getTime()));

ActionScript 2.0 :: Force SWF To Reload (Already There In Cache)

Dec 27, 2006

Whenever I update the flash movie on my website, the changes don't affect the appearance when people (who have already been to the site) visit the website, since the swf is in the cache. I personally, go to my temporary internet files, and delete the swf from there, so that I can view the changes from the browser. Is there anyway to force the swf to be loaded again (although it resides in the cache memory)?

When I deploy a new .swf file in an HTML file as shown below, I have to clear the browser cache before the new .swf file loads in the browser. Is there anyway to force the browser to load the .swf file when I replace it with a new one on the server.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader Can't Reload When Refreshing IE

Feb 5, 2010

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadBar Shows Running To 100 Although External SWF Is In Cache (F5/preloader)?

Aug 22, 2003

On Actionscript I found this really cool smooth preloader [URL]..In my example you see a pink button. This button sets the to be loaded SWF in a var and commands the Cover Over image to play (cover). After the Cover MC had reached the over-state (frame 15), there is a loadBar + an action giving a loadMovie command (it needs to be loaded into a MC called content)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Way To Save Doodle Created To A Server And Then Reload It At A Later Date

May 16, 2007

I used the kirupa drawing tutorial to create a simple doodle application.[code]I really need a way to save the doodle created to a server and then reload it at a later date. It could either be as a file or as data that meant it could be redrawn.I've looked into exporting as a bitmap but the methods seem very complex and also slow/relatively large file sizes (it is only a simple doodle application!!!)url...but it doesn't even seem to be working on the site. I had a look at the code but couldn't really get to the bottom of how it worked.Is there no easy way to save a movieclip out as an swf file dynamically?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Force Loading Xml File From Server (not From Browser Cache)?

May 24, 2007

I make a swf for my site that includes dynamicly loading thumbnails from an xml file. Unfotunatly the browser ( IE and FF are what i have tried so far ) just takes the xml file from the clients browser cache even if i have changed the xml file on the server. So the only way my visitors will see my updated content, is if they clear their cache every time before they visit my site. ( even a ctrl-f5 does not seem to do the trick )

is there a function or something i can call to force the swf to re-download the xml file every time? (is really small, less that a kilobyte or two im sure.)

Caching - Clearing Server Cache So That Flash Gallery Will Update Itself With New Images?

Jun 25, 2011

I have a website [URL] there is a flash gallery, every time I have to clear magento cache and browser cache to display my new images but now I've made few changes in swf file that before the smaller bars are not left aligned now there are both. In my local system the new swf file shows exact number of images in the smaller bars but in server they are not showing in full numbers.

I don't know what to do as I've cleared every cache that I can. I've read some where that put version number in your swf file so that brower can check if its new then it will download new but in magento how to do that. As the swf file contents are in cms pages home page content and they have done as :

<script src="{{skin url='js/flashobject.js'}}" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="flashcontent"
class="a-center"><a
href="http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-FLASH">

[code]...

how to version the swf file and how to clear cache.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Bitmap Data Cache For Each Frame Of A Movie Clip?

Jan 15, 2012

I found something when I create bitmap data cache for each frame of a movie clip:I got a movie clip, instead of presenting it immediatly on stage, I created a bitmap data array to store each frame of it, so I'm doing:
 
var body:MovieClip;     // some mc for body
var suit:MovieClip;     // some mc for suit, frame count is the same as body mc
body["part"].addChild(suit);     // it's a avatar, there's a sprite named "part" on body mc to contain suit mc

[Code]....
 
if i present the original body moive clip, everything is ok, but when I use cache, it begins to tremble, this is because the getBounds() method of movieclip returns different rectangle when mc is cached and mc is presented on stage. I tried trace out every getBounds() when caching and when Event.FRAME_CONSTRUCTED fire, they're different, making my cache crash!
 
I assum MovieClip class do not refresh until it's present to stage or some time in on frame, how can I get the real boundary of it if I need to cache it?

IDE :: Player To Set Different Arrows As Forces On The Moving-object

Dec 3, 2009

What I intend to do, is to create a game in which a player can mouse-click in a circle, thus drawing an arrow from the center of the circle to the mouse_cursor. The length and direction of the arrow represent an acceleration for a moving-object moving in the scene. The script that moves this object should take the accelaration and calculate a velocity and postion out of it.

I would create such a "force-circle-object" and make instances of it in different colors, allowing the player to set different arrows as forces on the moving-object. I tried and made something like this in GameMaker. Now I wonder whether I would better do this in Flash. Can you recommend a tutorial site for this kind of issues? How do I create such a circle with drawable arrow in it? How to take the arrow-values and pass them on to the moving object etc? if Flash 8.0 (AS2.0) is still actual, or do I need an upgrade to Flash 10 / AS4? I am a relative noob when it comes to OOP...

Flash5 :: Image Forces Flash Page To Left?

May 13, 2011

I purchased a Flash template and went into edit it in Macromedia Flash CS5.

I imported an image into the library and swapped the image with an image that was in the template I bought. The image I imported into the library is is a little longer and wider than the image I am replacing. Yet it still fits nicely on the page visually.

When I upload the SWF and HTML for the flash site that I just changed the image in, the flash site hugs the left side of the display screen and is not centered. Also the scroll bar on the right is no where to be found.

I then uploaded the original Flash SWf and HTML I bought without changing the image, the flashsite stays centered on the screen and there is a scroll bar on the right. So I decided to make another image the size of the one I was trying to replace in the flash template. I swapped the image out after bringing the new one into the library with import. Still the same problem.

The original template said pre-school and was trying to change to Inspire pre-school with a logo. A picture file that zooms in on the screen.

Here is the live examples.

Mxmlc :: Does Flex SDK's Create A Cache File Or Hash To Determine If Source Code Has Changed

Oct 22, 2009

My ant buildfiles tell mxmlc.jar to recompile target mxml source. However, if the target mxml source file has not changed, either ant or mxmlc is ignoring the file and will not create a new swf. This is an annoyance because I'm editing files imported by the target mxml. I need it to rebuild when those files change. I'm guessing that the mxmlc is creating a cache file somewhere and comparing the target mxml (or maybe just a hash). Is this what is happening? What's the standard work-around? At the moment, I'm editing the target mxml just to cause a file change.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Image Link In XML/HTML Text Forces New Line?

Aug 10, 2009

I'm importing text from an XML file into a textField. It includes a couple of image links.I'd like the images to display next to each other, but Flash seems to be forcing a linebreak between them.Note I'm using (pound ampersand 10 semicolon - seem to get converted to linebreaks in this forum) to create linebreaks manually - not that it should have any bearing. Have tried separating image tags with nonbreaking space, regular space - also made sure textField was plenty wide enough. No luck.Is this just "the way it is" or is there some way to get my images to display inline?Sample XML:

Media Server :: FMIS Used Just For Recording Keeps Getting "The FLV Segment Cache Is Full."?

Oct 13, 2011

We're using FMIS 4.5 exclusively for recording streams from webcams via RTMP. We don't have a lot of load currently, maybe a couple hundred videos being recorded every day. Every 1 or 2 days the FMS starts logging "The FLV segment cache is full" and refuses to record anymore until a restart. I've adjusted the cache setting to the max for Linux:I suspect that it's putting everything recorded into the cache, and refuses to record anymore when the cache is full. Why is it doing this? The files are written to disk, why won't the data be evicted from the cache? Am I misunderstanding what's happening?

How To Create An FLV Preloader

May 9, 2009

I have created a video in After Effects that I exported to an FLV movie. I would like to use it as an intro for my website but I would like to have a preloader for it... I don't need anything complicated, a 'youtube style' little circle thing would be totally fine.

Now I tried an Action-Script-two-frame preloader. It works but when my video finally plays, the sound is not synchronized with the images; which is kind of annoying as I used visual effects that need to be synchronized with the music and sound effects. Would anyone would have some simple AS that I could use for that.

IDE :: Preloader Works Locally But Not On Server

Mar 7, 2009

I'm working on a website ([URL] - don't think the flash file can be seen in FF yet) and I want to load an swf-file with some illustrations and such. As this could get a little big, I have made another swf-file which shows a preloader and loads the first swf-file. The preloader works perfectly when tested in Flash CS3, but when uploaded to and tried on my webhost's server, the preloader doesn't load anything. Instead it of the load-percentage it just writes "NaN". You can find the as3-code down below. The preloader-swf and the swf to be loaded are located in the same folder. Both are as3.

This is the code from my as-class file:
package classes{
// Imports necessary classes
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
