Mar 19, 2009In trying to keep file size down for download time... I have a SWF file that I have placed using the "UILoader" component (not sure if this is the correct thing to do)... what I would like to work out is how to make a preloader within my main timeline for this SWF file when it comes in. I hope that makes sense - I am very new to all this and struggling with terminology etc. I figured Actionscript would be what I need - but no clue right now...

View 3 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: How To Preload (External) Main SWF
Dec 5, 2003In my flash site I have one main swf that is preloaded using:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framesLoaded = (Math.ceil (( _parent.getBytesLoaded() / _parent.getBytesTotal()) * 100));
gotoAndStop (framesLoaded);
info.text = framesLoaded + "% completed";
if (framesLoaded >= 100) {
_root.gotoAndPlay (2);
}}
Works great, main swf preloads, then begins to play. On frame 5 it calls my external swf using:
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("externalmovie.swf", "container");
setProperty ("container", _alpha, "45");
container._x = 64 ;
container._y = 135 ;
It calls the external swf directly onto level 1 of the main swf at the location and alpha specified. I need this external swf to preload! I want to use the exact same method as the code I used for the main preloader, but it conflicts....being that it uses _root, _parent? However, being new to actionscript, I have no idea what "paths" need to be changed to make this work and not conflict.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload External SWF Into Main
Dec 11, 2003The basis of this question is why my code won't work to preload an external swf into my main swf. I have a main swf this calls the external swf using:
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("externalpreloader.swf", "container");
setProperty ("container", _alpha, "45");
container._x = 64 ;
container._y = 135 ;
I've attached an example fla like the external swf I'm trying to load, and you can see the preloader I'm using in that file. All that happens when this swf is brought in is a quick flash of the outline for the preloader and then the swf starts playing. It's not just because of the small size either, because no matter how big I've made the swf, that's all it ever does. I think it must have something to do with referring to _root, but I don't know how to change it! To test it add a large pic or sound file on the frame that I just drew a rectangle.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload External Swf's Into My Main Site?
Nov 25, 2008how to preload external swf's into my main site. I have tried all sorts of differents codes and ways to set it up, but nothing seems to work. I have a preloader I use to load the whole site, with this code
myProgressBarListener = new Object();
myProgressBarListener = function (eventObject) {
myProgressBar._visible = false;[code].....
is there a way i can take this code and the preloader i have made and place it on one frame in my timeline and change the code a little bit to provide for my external swf to be loaded into a holder?If anyone has links to how to do this easily that would be awesome. I am having quite a headache trying to figure this out. I have a lot of photo galleries that i need to preload when the button is hit and you are directed to that frame in the movie, so people have something to look at while that photo series loads.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clip Timeline To Main Timeline Coding?
Oct 9, 2009I have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick);
function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.
IDE :: Calculate How Long A Symbols Timeline Should Be So It Maches The Main Timeline?
Jul 4, 2009I'm having some problem with the workflow of flash.I make web banners everyday att my work att it is important to me to have the banners easy structured so I can copy effects, tweens and symbols to a new banner. I have Flash CS3 pro.I always start by making a symbols. And then in the symbols own timeline I make the animation or effect.
The big problem I'm having is when I have the main (scene1) timeline with many frames, and then have symbols on that timeline, with it's own timeline with some frames. The frames in the symbol timeline is okey, but at the main timeline the frames is too short or too long so the animation of the symbol cuts of early or it plays more than one time (too many frames).
How do I calculate how long a symbols timeline should be so It maches the main timeline?What happens to me is that I always have to adjust the symbols timeline and the main timeline, and this I have to do many times.

when they select a new image, i would like to have the preloader appear above the default image and then tween between the old and new image (one fading out and one in kinda thing).i sourced some code but i've been having problems preloading the first image. the image loads but the preloader doesn't do anything. it seems like the preloader doesn't seem to recognise that i'm trying to load an image. it thinks it's fully loaded and carries on before the load can begin!i would also like attach a different preloader for the first image displayed than the ones being loaded via the buttons.
