ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Displaying The Content From The XML - Preloading
Jan 6, 2010
I'm building an XML driven flash site and am trying to figure out the best way to structure it. I have one XML file which holds all the data for 4 sections. As the site design is really simple and stays the same across the site, i think it's probably best to keep it all housed within one SWF, using MCs for each section.
The only thing is i'm not sure how this will work with displaying the content from the XML, preloading etc. Ideally i'd like it so the content is only loaded when it's requested, rather than all at once. (there will be lots of images, videos.. etc). Would i need to structure it differently for this to happen? Such as using an XML file for each section, and/or an external SWF for each section? Or is it possible to only load parts of the XML data when needed?

Not sure how to describe this issue, but I only get it in Firefox and not any other browser. When clicking around, the page sometimes blows up with the attached pic. Sometimes it has even more characters than that, and you can see things like LAME encoder referenced. Anyone know what the deal is? All site caching is disabled. I am no pro with flash so I don't know what is causing this. I am using the Boutell XSPF player due to its support of Autoresume, if that helps. I added it to the list of players, and have the flash embed code in a block. I am achieving this using the Drupal Audio module and submodules supporting it.

My project Home Page contains several 'heavy' instances on stage. So as to entertain a visitor while all they are loading I start preloading transition. However despite all my efforts my custom preloader delays displaying preloading progress for a while: althoug preloader wheel rotates, progress value displays as 0% for several seconds - from 1-3 seconds in normal browsers up to 5-6 seconds in Safari (which I consider to be worst one for Flash). if someone could clarify me whether I should listen for ALL the children loading progress so as to fix this issue or just never mind (e.g. every button on stage consists of two VideoPlayers, one TLFTextField, one Timer, two Sprites and one attached sound; now I'm listening for two VideoPlayers loading progress only...)

i have created a page in flash with input text field and a toggle button which implies full screen mode as well as normal mode by including the below script. stage.display = "fullscreen".
Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full screen mode. All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in full screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take the viewer out of fullscreen mode Is there any solution to enable the keyboad inputs.

I'm having a problem preloading xml loaded content. I'm using the usual this.getbytesloaded at the start of my timeline. The problem is this is getting the total bytes for the container swf before the xml has loaded up all the images and content so my preloader is running short.

My flash site is comprised of about 10 to 12 dynamically loaded external images, which are declared as Loader class instances, loaded, then placed on the stage. I set up a basic external pre-loader but just as I suspected it would, the pre-loader loads the swf of my main site but when the swf is loaded the external dynamic content of the main site still has to be loaded. How can I go about preloading dynamic content? Because what I want is all the assets that make up the site to be there and loaded, when the pre-loader is done.

The flash portion of my site is just the navigation bar. here is a link so you can see what it looks like for an easier time helping solve my problem: As you can see text loads into dynamic text boxes when the user rolls his/her mouse over that little upright rectagle, there will be many of those rectangles once i have my site done but for now, im just testing things out.
here is the current code applied to my Rectangle Nav Button:
// This is the state where rollover text displays in those beveled boxes
on (rollOver) {
ordernum = "0001";
title = "Change is the only constant - 1600x1200";
[code].....
What this code does is when the user rolls his/her mouse over, text loads into the dynamic text boxes, and when the user releases his/her mouse on the button the jpg "Ug.jpg" loads. However this is not the effect i am after. I want to have a preloader off to the side somewhere on the flash portion of my site, and when the user mouse overs a nav bar button, the text in the dynamic text boxes gets lighter, and when the user rolls his/her mouse out, the text goes back to normal. I also want it so when the User Releases on a nav bar button the pre-loader off to the side loads the image, sound, or movie and then that image/ sound/ movie displays in a HTML portion of my site right below the Flash portion.

I have a combobox and a datagrid that are both populated by an xml. The combobox works perfectly. The datagrid is loading something cause the auto scrollbar comes up and is longer or shorter depending on what category I select from the combobox. For some reason the datagrid simply isn't displaying any text. I'm sure it's something small that I'm overlooking, but I just can't find it.[URL]

So I'm building a video player that appears in a nested (display) hierarchy, and I would really like an easy way to preserve the background. I have a Loader SWF that contains a bg, and another SWF (which contains the video player) that toggles between StageVideo and Video per the end user's environment. I have StageVideo working, but it always shows below other content.Now I know that this is the desired behavior for StageVideo, as it allows the GPU to render content directly to the screen without having to composite the video feed with display list contentbut I really want to be able to show my background (if only as a 'picture frame') behind the video player. Drawing a simple rectangular frame around the player such that it appears to have a bg will not work; I need to be able to also display images and other DisplayObjects behind the video player itself

I created a flash application that is dynamically displaying xml feeds from content partners. This flash application has a black background and will be called and displayed from the C# windows application. The issue is sometimes when our application loads the flash swf file, the background color turns white so the text being displayed are not readable anymore since they are white. This intermittent and I am using flash cs 5 actionscript 3. Before I was relying on the stage background but after I saw the issue, I already used a solid background container like (vector, png, gif, or jpeg).

I'm constructing a website in flash, and on each page of the website I have a dymanic text field pulling data from a .txt file for that page, (the news page has a dymanic text field called "newsText" which pulls data from "news.txt" for example) The website im working on is here: [URL] If you have a slower internet connection, whenever you click on the link to a new page, a small white square will appear in the corner before the content has fully loaded, this white square is a result of the scrollbar being disabled due to the content not being loaded yet (and thus having nothing to define wether or not it should need to scroll)
as the website grows in content this will become more and more of a problem. My actionscript ability is really limited. So whats the simplest way I can add a preloader to the page to load the content of the .txt file before displaying it?

I am using bulkLoader to load dozens of SWFs into my Flex app, and all of SWFs are static (1 frame only). 'Everything' works fine, however, I'm not sure how to handle data from bulkLoader... I am getting MovieClip types for all of my SWFs, and I am not sure how to tell to Image or SWFLoader classes to use some of those MovieClips as source.

I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.
