View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Preloader For A Little Flash Project That Involves Re-assembling A Load Of Rectangles To Make Up A Pattern?
Aug 4, 2007I'm trying to make a preloader for a little flash project that involves re-assembling a load of rectangles to make up a pattern.Idea is that instead of the usual load bar i wanted to make use of this pattern that is relevant to the project and have it rebuild it self with these rectangles flying in from the side. So far I have got the tweening sorted using the tween class and staggered the 42 (yes took a little while, probably an easier way so let me know on that also) rectangles using 'setTimeout' so it releases each 100milliseconds after the one one before it. This probably the wrong way to do it but i wanted to check how it looked and this was the one way i knew how to do it.
I want to make it so that these rectangles fly in a complete the pattern once the loading has finished, but on a fast connection I don't want it to rush the animation but for a slow connection I obviously want it to adjust the release time and maybe even the travel speed to compensate.
I had an idea of maybe working out the percentage loaded divided by 42 and then run an if statement to see if that percentage for that segment had been reached before 100millseconds had passed, if 100 had passed then release the rectangle, if not then hold the rectangle until 100 m/s had passed. Not sure if that is the best way to do but that's why I'm looking for some suggestions from more experienced developers.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Regular;
// declare variables

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load External Swf And Using Preloader?
Jul 23, 2009I am trying to build a website with a preview window to display pieces of work when you click on a thumbnail. Each piece of work will be it's own swf, because there will be several images to show in each example, and I want to have a cool blur/fade in and out of each, and I want it to loop.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to load the swf into a "preview box", and have a preloader calculating the size and all that. So when you click a button, depending on the size of the external swf, the preloader will pop up and on completion, the swf will load. Not sure where to put the preloader code or where I should put the preloader in the first place.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make An External Preloader?
Jan 15, 2010In order to learn the ins and outs of preloaders in ActionScript 3.0 I've been working on a program in Flash CS4. The problem I'm having is that the preloader is not throwing/recieving the Progress and Complete events.
I decided to make the preloader an independant class and put it in a seperate package from the document class. I also made a second independant class to serve as a progress bar, which the preloader includes. Basically the structure of my program is Flash File>Document Class>Preloader Class>ProgressBar Class
So far the Document Class creates the Preloader and puts it on the screen (a black box with a progress bar on it so far, I'll add text later). What I'm working on now is getting it to actually preload, so that on the Progress events it increases the size of the bar untill it's completed, and then puts a play button on the stage when it recieves the Complete event.

Nov 29, 2009I have an image gallery that I made with this tutorial (AS3 Photo Viewer Tutorial), and I'm trying to get an external preloader to load it. The only tweaks I've made to the tutorial file have been to change the stage size, and change the name and contents of the xml file.The preloader, which uses something I downloaded from preloaderz, worked with another, simpler swf, but when I try it with this one, I get
Quote:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at PhotoViewer()
I don't know why this won't work. Another thing I don't quite get is how the .as file is attached, because the PhotoViewer.fla file appears to be blank, with nothing I can see in the timeline/ stage, or in the actionscript. Before trying the external preloader, I tried adding one to PhotoViewer.fla, using script from the ActionScript 3 Classroom in a book, which worked in their lesson file, but not with this file. I also tried moving the script to the .as file, but that didn't work either.I'm using Flash CS4. If all else fails, I might have to try a simpler image gallery, that would hopefully work with a preloader, but I like how this one looks.

ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadMovie - Make A Preloader Load Everything Up Front?
Nov 7, 2008I have been working on a site of mine, and I wanted to make a 360 rotation view thing with some pictures (12 shots all from different angels around the same axis). I need to make a preloader load everything up front, so there wont be any legging.
My best guess was making a slide show kinda thing, with an rotation and zoom bar. And before the slide show, a frame that holds the preloader. But the preloader doesn't loads the right images. I load my images from an XML file, and then parse them into an array (something I got from here I believe). That parts seems to work all fine, but when I load the images using a "container.loadMovie(image[i]);" code, it isnt loading anything, except for an error :s

There are some loose ends (like the gotoAndPlay(3) things, but that is because I may wanted to add a thumbnail gallery in frame 3... )

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader Keeps Resetting/sticks When Trying To Load External Images?
Jun 5, 2007I'm making a portfolio site in FLASH MX 2004 that displays images from an external folder, indexed in an array.I've set it up so that a user clicks on a button to get a different image from an array - the images are loaded externally - the alpha value for the current image is set to zero and then the border around the image shrinks to 80x50.Then the new image is preloaded (using a simple bar in a movie clip to graphically display this in the 80x50 border). Then the width and height of the image are read and the border is dynamically sized to fit around the image and the alpha value of that is set to 100 to show it.
THE PROBLEM:An if statement is used so that when the border shrinks to be exactly 80x50, the call to"photo_mc.loadPhoto(image[i]);" is triggered, where the selected image is preloaded and the details of its width and height are retrieved to send to another function, which sizes the border and sets alpha of image to 100.But, as the condition is always true (i.e. border remains @ 80x50 during preload), the preloader freezes, as the call to send the image to the loadPhoto function is perpetually made. When running the finished flash movie (with photos loaded locally) on my computer, obviously there is no preloader and it all works as planned. Only when you run it online this happens.
to see what I mean. (if you look on mozilla firefox you can actually see the function getting called perpetually - the preloader keeps resetting to 1pixel, but the photos eventually load!)HERE'S THE RELEVANT ACTIONSCRIPT:INFO_instance names:photo_mc = the empty movie clip into which the images are loadedborder = the border that fits around the image displayed in photo_mc-----//This function is called whenever a button is clicked to change the photo displayed in photo_mc
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function() {
photo_mc._alpha = 0;
