ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader For Flash Site?
Aug 13, 2010
don't know much about Flash so understanding how to implement a preloader for my entire site is just a bit beyond me. Basically, I just want a loading bar, "loading" text, and the percentage text (this should all be in AS3). I know that in Flash CS5, a preloader bar is included as one of the components. The only problem is that I don't know what to do with it (and it shows up as blue and white so not sure how to change the colour)... the Adobe file for that component explains somewhat but the example it uses includes an MP3 and button component, both of which I don't need.

So I make my site in flash, forget to add a preloader for the main timeline. I go back and add the extra frames to allow this but as soon as I add even just one more frame it make all my graphics go jaggy edged!?! See diagram below.

I am working with Flash MX Professional 2004 on a mac running Tiger. I am near to finishing a fully flash based website.I am fairly new to Flash so experiencing a wee problem with my Preloader. The preloader is an animation in a movieclip that I have placed at the start of each scene that contains only one of my portfolio photos which once downloaded fades in and fades out. The Preloader tested in an isolated test scene on its own works fine, it is placed in frame 1 with the following actionscript 2 and a stop action placed in an actions layer. The downloading photo fade in starts in frame 2. When the user closes the photo it unloads it from the level it is in ready for the user to choose another photo which will go in to the same level.
Yet when the same scene is played back on its own level within the main website FLA it does work as an animation. Rather it stalls, blank to start with then at 50% download it goes straight to the 100% loaded part of the Preloader animation and stays like that until the photo has fully downloaded. It does this at all bandwidth tests and also does this when tested live once uploaded to server. It should animate smoothly up until the photo downloads. Very frustrating problem. I notice that the first frame of the scene has an unusually large size for some reason as the preloader is only 10kb in reality yet shows as 60kb, may be there is something going on here or perhaps it just needs the script changing slightly?[code]

I'm trying to integrate a preloader into my site and I wanted some feedback on when/where to use it. I think my site will likely be around 3 megs and was going to just use one preloader at the beginning. I then thought about integrating it into each subsection, which will likely be around a meg a piece.

how to make a new preloader work in a flash template which has it own preloader.Im not talking about the preloader for the site, but for loading the external swf in between. The buttons/menu are loaded via xml. And when you click on a button, it loads a external swf and this is where the preloader works.

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.

I'm using the sample external preloader file supplied with CS5 as the basis for my customised pre-loader. It's working fine except that once the main site has loaded and is open, the preloader remains loaded in the background.[code]...

Here's the site... [URL] *Just type in "insight" as the password. After the site launches click your refresh button and the site sticks on the preloader. The loader is just checking to see if all bytes are loaded and there's a shared object that sent to a user's system that is also checked at start up.

How it is done, when you enter to site [URL]. Preloader loading the content of site and when you re-enter to site you see the preloader once again and preloader loading from 1 to 100 fast. What script cause this effect?
I have 2 mc, mc1 with script :
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {
loaded = true;
_root.mc2.gotoAndPlay("preloader");
}}}
And mc2 have preloader in 2 frames and then goes frame with label loadMovie("content") but its not working.

I have a full flash website which is broken down into:
- Main movie which contains navigation and interface components
- Several content movies which are loaded into the main movie on demand
- An intro movie which is around 3MB in size; its a full CG movie.
At the moment the main movie preloads and then the intro movie preloads afterwards in a sequence; like so:
Main Movie > Intro Movie > Content Loads
There is a skip intro option which will skip the intro movie step and jump right to the content load once the main movie has loaded.
My client wants me to do something which is proving very difficult and I am starting to wonder if its even possible as searches on the net have given results which don't really work properly.
Here is what I need to do:
When the main movie is requested, its preloader appears which it has a load bar and a "skip intro" button. The difference being, this preloader will be loading the main movie AND the preloader; which the load bar representing both movies load progress.
To complicate matters, if the skip intro button is pressed, the preloader needs to drop the intro movie from the equation and just account for the main movie & thus skip the intro; straight to the content.
The way I have tried to do it is to have a preloader code in the intro which sends the total size and bytesloaded back to the main movie which deals with those values, adding it onto its own size. This is proving cumbersome and although appeared to be working, isn't working propery.

I'm in the middle of optimising a site, to which end I've constructed a preloader / welcome screen. My problem is that although the preloader apparently works (as in the bar moves and a numerical "percentage loaded" value is displayed), it only appears once the rest of the site is 80-90% loaded, i.e defeating its purpose.....?

I've been trying to get this preloader working for days! I finally got it working, and now when i upload it to my site and refresh the page, the .swf file is stuck at the preloader screen.

I've been reading up on it for a while now, but I can't seem to figure it out.

I have assembled a preloader using the method from this site, everything seem to work except for one problem My site supposed to start from a black background and the image fading in. However once I placed the preloader the image dose not fade in but appears right away to the full strength after the preloader gone to 100% Looks like it jumps to a few frames after the first frame of the main swf file. Please take a look at [URL] If you reload again you will see how the image fade in.

the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.

I just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.

My problem is that the client I am making a homepage for wants the site to be done in Flash, but also wants to have the ability to make changes to the website on his own. Creating the website in Flash is not the problem rather what other program or method can I use, which is easy enough for someone who is not knowledgable in Flash or any other web design program, so that this client can make random changes to the menus and photos on this website?
