I am having trouble getting my preloader to run. I am loading images via XML into a scrollPane, when I click on an image I call the function addRoom. The images are taking longer to load than I expected so I wanted to add a preloader. My image is loading but I can't see the preloader.
ActionScript Code:
//create a container to hold the rooms images
var roomContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();[code]........
So I'm trying to create a preloader that uses an image as the loading bar. I have long image, somewhere around 6x1, and I would like it to load from left to right. I previously used a tutorial for create a general loading bar which used the scaleX to load. However, that won't work well for the image, as it starts squashed and only looks fine at 100%. [URL]
ActionScript Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loaderF);
function loaderF(e:Event):void
[Code]....
I am having a lot of trouble to get a preloader working for this code.
Short Desc: i have a listbox which gets the data from XML page. once i click on any on of the lable in the listbox, a image loads in a movieclip.
I am trying to add a preloader to the moviclip. the code below is what iam using:

[code]Whenever im preloading images, i get a NaN Error everytime. Sometimes all i see is a NaN error, not even load numbers like 89% or so. I got the swf online at url...If you go to any section in the designs menu (3d design, 2d design or webdesign) and click a image you get the script that gives the NaN.I only get NaN in Firefox, Internet Explorer just gives 0. But either way i would like to see percentages rather than 0 or NaN.
View 1 RepliesHow do I use a dynamic preloader [say a circular preloader that I've designed myself and not the ProgressBar preloader] to load an external jpg. Obviously, the jpg would be contained within a movie clip, say, 'imageHolder'. In short, I'd like this dynamic preloader to load the external jpg into the movie clip 'imageHolder' placed within my swf.All that needs to be figured out is how to attach any dynamic preloader to load external pics.[code]

View 1 RepliesI am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
View 1 RepliesI developing a site where on the homepage, there are about 6 images that rotate, but if you click on a sub link, a different image loads. But the problem is that, the first image has to cycle through before the second image loads. I want the second image to load immediately.

[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.
View 3 RepliesI tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?

My xml was loading fine until I made a preloader( not made, did it with a tuto).
The preloader is on frame 1 and the xml + all items on my stage are on frame 3.
I traced the xml but it comes out undefined... What is happening ??Do I miss something else to launch my xml loading ? Here is the code for the preloader in case:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var amount:Number = this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal()*100;

Is it possible to capture the image loading event like when the image is fully loaded and such when it is assigned to the htmlText of the textFiel???
I have a scrollPane that contains a textField which is loading an image via img tag where there is no scrollbars initially because the textField is not large enough in the beginning, but it is larger than the scrollPane after the image is fully loaded.. and I am trying to update the scrollPane once the image is fully loaded..
I need to create a gallery to load images and display them. This part is fine:
/**
* @variable image_name to store the name of the selected item
*/
private function showimage(evt:Event):void
[Code].....
where imgMain is the id the image component.
But, I need a small twist. A transition image i.e. loading image should be displayed while the the image is being loaded.
I'm loading a .png image with loadMovie() and I need to center the image (for later dragging). I know flash has some issues with loading stuff, but I really need to get the movieclip's width. If someone knows how to get over this and get the movieclip's width
This is a part of a more complex app, so that's why I won't paste any code.
I made 1 image gallery. and i am facing a big issue. When one image is loading in my Loader object. If i click on next image button. It starts loading another image without canceling the existing image. So mutliple images appear at stage in this case. I want something that stops loading older image and start loading new image.
View 4 RepliesHaving problems with creating a simple progress bar with percentage loader recieving bytes loaded from a external swf file loading into a empty movieclip using as2. When exported the progress bar is complete and reads 100% and doesn't load the swf.

Can you put a loading bar on, say, frame 1 and have Flash show it? Or do you need to put in another file and load the external SWF (which I am loading is 1.8 mb) into another SWF to have a loading screen? It would be convenient if you could do it in the same file
I am currently preloading it (game.swf) from another SWF file (gameload.swf). However, game.swf's sound files are not playing, and I'm just testing it locally. All sounds exported for actionscript are not playing
I was working on this flash for a website. I was using swish max2 to create the flash, then after I finish the flash, I checked it on my pc before uploading it to the site, it worked fine. After I've uploaded it to the site the preloader doesn't finish loading. I've to refresh it again and again to make it complete to 100%. I tried to reduce the size from 700kbps to 409kbps by removing and optimizing pictures inside the flash but it still stops loading. I tried to put it on another site and preview it alone by typing the url for the flash file, but it's still the same.

we have a website online the last few days, narrowcastmedia.co.za. Everything works well but the only prob encountered so far is our main preloader (positioned on the 1st frame, once loaded it sends you to frame 3 where the rest of the code lies), the preloader itself only is visible when starting around 80/90%. I want to be able to see the preloader loading the site from 0%. Ive changed the settings of AS2 where i export the classes in frame 3. it helps a little bit but still the preloader starts now from around 60/70% and still not from 0%. A AS file is attached so you guys can have a look at the code behind the preloader.
