I want to preload a swf and insted of a bar I would like to play 5 mc at intervals trigered by the persentage of the total loadedI want to set a new loader event of a URL = my_movie.swfand a progress.complete event
var percent of total loaded
Then - if (percent==20%);{gotoAndPlay (20%movie clip)
then -if (percent==80%);{gotoAndPlay (60%movie clip)

I want just file preload 50% and then it play, 50% remain it will load while playing. But I can't do it, here is my code:

i have a project i am working on...but for some reason the solution i went with is not satisfying my instructor......
so....here is my new code ( which is incorrect but i cant figure out how to arrange the preloader at the end )
[Code]....
first off, i dont even know if what i am being asked to do is possible...but, what i am being requested to do is obviously load in the external swf BUT, the external swf cannot play until the MAIN swf is directed to "start"......
i have done this numerous times in as1 and 2....but back then things were totally written different and if you do it the same way you run into migration issues....
i thought this was solved already, but my instructor will not accept the method of using an event to be dispatched in the external SWF to tell the main swf when to play "start"....im not sure if there is any other way to do this?
he wants the external swf to contain NO code other than what is necessary for its internal functions.. everything is to be coded in the MAIN swf
so im trying to use bytesTotal, and the percent==100 is just a number i threw in for example purposes...
I've been playin around with loading MP3's externally ... and I finially managed to get a preloader working ... however, now at the end of the preload function it doesn't play the file!?If the mp3 is in the browser cache ... it will play the file!? How weird.wanna see? The Site Click the top right button for the player to slide out.
My code:
Code:
mySounda = new Sound();
preloadNow = 1;
mySounda.loadSound("Track2.mp3",false);
[code]....
I discovered that my preloader wasn't working before becoz I had two "onEnterFrame" events on the same frame. Obviously a no-no.
I want just file preload 50% and then it play, 50% remain it will load while playing. But I can't do it, here is my code:
Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
bytes_total = bytes_total/2; // it will loop because it turn back to play untill full load

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to set a percentage value for the width property of an UIComponent defined in MXML using data binding?
What I try to achieve is something like this (which doesn't work):
<s:Button width="{buttonWidth}%"/>
I know that using percentage for width or height properties in MXML is kind of a hack in the Flex SDK, since they're supposed to accept numerical values only, but since percentWidth and percentHeight aren't available in MXML, I'm pretty stuck =/
I would really like to avoid using code to do such a simple thing, in order to keep my code as clear and readable as posible.
I want to know how i set width in percentages of columns of MX datagrid in flex ?
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash site that I'm designing. The movie that I'm working with is the main movie into which my external .swf's will get loaded into. Now in the very first frame of my main .swf I have the progress bar component setup running in manual mode (I'm running in manual mode because I'm not using the loader component in conjunction with the progress bar. I figured that I wouldn't need the loader just yet because this is the progress bar for the main movie and not for an external .swf...) with this code:
Code:
var kalarahProgress:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
kalarahProgress.mode = manual;
kalarahProgress.indeterminate = true;[code]....
Now when I test it in FlashMX 2K4 Pro using "Simulate Download", everything works fine EXCEPT: Theres this white box that shows up right where my progress bar is in the first frame. After the progress bar loads (itself) then, you actually see the "candycane" indeterminate load bar and then after my other frames in the movie loads, it goes into my second frame and everything is cool.How can I make that white box go away? I tried using actionscript that would make the progress bar invisible until after it finished loading and then go to visible, but when I tried that, the component never came back visible. I just need to make that white box go away, it's taking away from the "beauty" of everything else. Also, my load bar doesn't show any percentages. It just flashes "loading" until after the rest of the frames are loaded. How can I get it to show the percentage of whats loaded so far?To download a copy of my .fla, just click here.
I have the following:
var win:Window = new Window();
PopUpManager.addPopUp(win,this,true);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(win);
What about if I want the popup window to be stretched and be 80% width and height from the parent? How do I achieve that?
How can I convert the current scale of the instance to 100% so I can easily "visualize" and manage the instance when I modify its scale? Here's the actionscript, it works, but I just want the temp._xscale and temp._yscale to be in percentages, not real numbers.
Code:
USflag.onMouseDown = function ()
{
var temp = USflag;
onEnterFrame = function ()

One last thing, what's the tag you have to put that is designed for boxing actionscripts? I'm suing [ code ][ /code ]

I have a site with several images on it. there is a main image with buttons on it, and each button load a series of images (simulating a zoom) What i want to know is if there is a way to preload the external swf (the ones each button loads) while the user is looking the main movie, so, when he presses a button, the external swf plays inmediately and there is no "loading" time. I try several ways and google it and find some tutorials but no one works.

It preloads just fine, but it doesnt preload the FLV contained in each swf. It just preloads my 200kb swf file, not the contents, so my movie still has to wait to play. how can I get my preloader to preload everything so that when the SWF comes up, all data will be loaded and I can click through to the end of he FLV movie?

View 9 RepliesThe code above is my standard preloader for swf, I use it since long time and its all working, I managed above the script another one that load the flv?s that I use in the array. The two are working but my need is that the container only start to play the module after all the flv?s have been loaded to the cache.
One thing to note is that in the second script the array is playing the flv?s when should be only load, I?ve try to give a ns.pause(); but if I do that the array dont get to the end of it.
I'm using the following to load an external SWF. I was wondering if I could preload it with a progressive bar. Can only find preloaders for MCs.[code]
