I'm trying to load multiple preloaders, for some reason the following code only works on one movie clip.
for (var i:int = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
var mc = new MovieClip();
var pre = new PreLoader();[code].....
This only works on the last movieclip created when I need to have each movieclip have it's own preloader.
I am experimenting with AS3 and I created a page that loads around 35 images to the screen from XML and randomly scatters them on the stage. I know how to use the ProgressEvent to show the loading for each individual image, but I am trying to figure out a way to show it as a whole. The one think ive tried & acheived is to have total number of loaded images divided by total number of images. So when 15 of 30 images are loaded its 50 %, etc.... But Id like to have a more effcient preloader that shows the actually loading.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a 360 turn by importing .png files into each movie clip. I wanted the preloader bar to increase in size as each one loads. Once the preloader is completed on frame one, I have it go and stop on frame 2, but there is a blank screen for a view seconds. I think the images were still loading after the preloader was completed.

I'm preloading multiple images with my Flash file. What what I'd like to do is preload all of them together, and group them into one preloader that shows the percentage of all of them together in one. At the moment I'm just using a preload GIF to show that they are loading. I'm sure there's a better way.[code]

The above code loads an XML file which contains the path to text and image files, i am able to trace the path correctly within the above PARSE function but i am not able to retrieve the variable (or trace it for that matter) in the LOAD TEXT section, As i continue to code, i would also like to dynamically load multiple images (in the LOAD IMAGES section) using the projectPath and iterating through each image listed in an XML file. I am not at that point yet but my question is how would i create a progressbar/preloader that diplays total progress for all URL Requests (the text file and multiple images listed in the XML).
im loading multiple images but how do I make sure the program will start once all images have dispatched a complete event. like make a universal loader for all the other "small loaders" if you understand.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to load multiple images into a scene and then cycle through the images one at a time.So, here are the essentials what I've put together in AS3:First I set up a counter and a Loader

Then, after loading a list of images from an XML file, I call a function that I called "createImages". This function then takes the list of images and creates a bunch of loaders:

So far, so good! I now have a bunch of loaders each with a different name "img1","img2","img3" etc.
I have a photo gallery that loads many images using a for loop (image data is from XML file). Simplified code looks like this:

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.
i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....
I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

I have been looking for over 2 weeks now for a preloader that will load my swf, xml and images. I followed the xml tutorial on this website and the preloader there doens't work with the images or maby i'm doing something wrong.
View 2 RepliesThis thing is giving me a headache. See code below. The issue here is that my first image preloads OK, but then the second image gets jammed at 25-30% and never loads. The third and forth image preloads OK and the same issue with the fifth image. And sometimes the issue is on the last 4 images.

Would someone be able to direct me in the right direction as to how to go about adding preloaders for images on a rotatong menu.
I am not after any kind of complex animation loader, just simple text that says 'Image Loading'
So I guess to simplify it, it could just be a peace of text that disappears when the image loads in.....am I making any sense?[code]...
I am using images that are fullscreen and resize to fill the window as adjusted. So I want the prelader to also move across the window according to the bytes loaded. At the moment it is moving across the screen but not relevant to bytes loaded, it just zips straight across the screen and then you are left waiting for the image to load with no indication of how far it is away from appearing. Here is the code for the preloader:

I wanted to know if there's a way of adding a preloader for the pictures.
To make the random image display completely before continuing with the rest of the movie.

Code:
var holder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
holder.addChild(loader);

I posted a tread about this yesterday but I think I wasn't clear enough so here's the details of my project. Lets say I have 5 page to load and I want them to load all at the same time. [code]...
And my last concern is that I want to be sure that once the loading (for all the pages) have been executed, when the user enters the other pages they won't see the preloader or it will take less than 1 sec to go trough it.
First of I'm using Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 I'm trying to make a photo gallery for my website. I have the gallery all setup and made and now I need a preloader for loading my images. Right now my gallery is setup like this:
-A list of clickable thumbnails. (20 thumbnails)
-A UILoader
-You click a thumbnail and it loads an external image into the UILoader.
Actionscript: I have an array with 20 images. I have 20 different event listeners for each thumbnail.
The eventlistener looks like this:
thumbs.thumbs1.t1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, loadP1);
The function looks like this:
[Code]....
The UILoader is inside 2 moveclips because of a transition effect I have. The buttons are also 2 movieclips deep because of motion tweens.specific reason.
I have created a portfolio with flash using action script 2. But when I click on the button going to the portfolio Scene (containing pictures and tweens) it stutters on all the images when they are first clicked on. As the image increases in size, it is a smooth tween until the one from last frame which it stops then flashes on to the final frame. Is there a way I can preload all the images so that this will not happen? Or anything else I could do?
