I have created a fla document named main.fla I have defined the document class as Main which is attached. (rename to Main.as)
The problem is preloader shows only when the file is completely loaded. How can I appear the progress preloader for the main file.
So I am having a problem with the flash file at this site: [URL]
Everything is working fine, except for the preloader, which only seems to load after the entire file is 100% loaded, which leaves people who visit the site staring at a black screen for quite some time... The code on the preloader frames is as follows:
frame 1 (which has the background for the preloader/ actual load bar etc}
var percent:Number = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/ getBytesTotal()*100);
textBox.text = percent + "%";
textBox._alpha = 80;
[Code]....
Also, if you want to check out the actual program just click when you get to the main screen and click to create new shape (mouse x and y change opacity and speed respectivly) I'm using actionscript 2
How can I make a preloader that shows percentage/bar for a movie loaded in with LoadMovie?
I've tried using a normal preloader (the one from Kirupa) in the "to load" movie, but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to have the preloader assess how big the movie to load is, how a bar etc. and have the movie hidden until 100% is loaded (as seen on the bar)?
Simple fla for a preloader that shows the percentage of bytes being loaded?

View 2 RepliesI have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file.When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.

Implemeting RSL in Flex 3.2 The build comils perfectly but opening it shows Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type. URL:Whereas I have confirmed the requisite files are there in the folder. i.e. SWZ/SWF. I also noticed we assetCache does not contains framework swz.

View 1 RepliesI have a Flex application that loads some data from the database. During this I want my custom preloader stay visible. When I postpone the dispatchEvent( new Event(Event.COMPLETE)) in the FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE handler, the loading will never happen because the next frame is not entered. How can I keep the loader running until all the data is fully loaded?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a movie with heavy animation and audio in Flash CS4. I have a preloader that I purchased from flash den.com and I believe it's pre set to begin the movie when the total file is done loading. But I want the movie to begin when half the total .swf file is loaded. Here is my code on frame 1
FRAME 1:
var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
preloader._width = amountLoaded * 250;
loadText.text = Math.round(amountLoaded * 100) + "%";

i try to implement a preloader for my site but i have the following problems:once the preloader is finished it opens my external swf but this one appears below the preloader and very little in the window (almost smaller than my preloader size)

I have a preloader.swf that loads another swf (main.swf). It all works fine, however I would like the loading bar to stay on 100 (once it gets there) for 2-3 seconds before the main.swf opens, currently as expected from the code below, as soon as it gets to 100% it flicks straight over to the main.swf.
I am using tweener, and I could achieve this easily using the onComplete code to call this.addChild(loader);, however, the problem is, both my preloader and my main swf are liquid layouts, and if I were to call the this.addChild(loader); at the end in its own function, then it throws a
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
. The only way to get around this error is to put the this.addChild(loader); so that it loads upfront. After a bit of google research, i found this error occurs due to the stage properties already been set in the preloader.swf (from liquid layout)then once the main.swf loads it tries to set them again...So is there another way i can cause a delay for 2-3 seconds once my preloader hits 100?
Below is my preloader code with liquid layout settings
Code:
//LIQUID LAYOUT
stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandlerLoading);
[Code]....
1. using my tweener onComplete method and fixing the error caused by preexisting stage properties
2. Thinking of an alternate way to delay the main.swf from opening straight away (keeping in mind that this.addChild(loader); would need to stay where it is...
PS - here is a link to a person who was getting the #1009 error with preloader and liquid layout, their solution works, but won't allow me to use a tweener delay...[URL]
i downloaded a preloader from flashkit. works great on one of my movies, but on another one, it dont stops on the preloader frame. i dont understand cause it should go to the next scene when 100% is loaded but it just shows a black page.i dont understand cause the preloader scene is identical and it just sends you to scene 1 when fully loaded..
View 3 RepliesI making an App and atm it shows a 3-5 sec black screen at the start. So I made an external swf preloader, but the textfield won't update, it just shows 100% and after a while the main program jumps in view.
View 7 RepliesOn Actionscript I found this really cool smooth preloader [URL]..In my example you see a pink button. This button sets the to be loaded SWF in a var and commands the Cover Over image to play (cover). After the Cover MC had reached the over-state (frame 15), there is a loadBar + an action giving a loadMovie command (it needs to be loaded into a MC called content)

I want a mask to go over some words in relation to the percentage of the file loaded. Below it I want text that says 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. (also in relation to the percentage loaded). But when I test it and click "simulate download," the screen stays white for about 10 seconds then goes to frame 2 where my content starts.?! I get no errors, either. PS: on Flash CS5, is TLF text the same as Dynamic? For "percentage," the only two options are Classic and TLF...
I am trying to load several swf files into various containers. In one scene I have used the following:
createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 1);loadMovie("MC.swf", "container1");
And I want to wait for it to load complete before moving to the next scene and doing the following one...
createEmptyMovieClip("container2", 2);loadMovie("MC2.swf", "container2");
Play movieclip once FLV is completely loaded?
View 2 RepliesI've looked around and tried various examples that I've seen, but none of them seem to work with "simulate download".It doesn't seem like the swf does anything before it's completely loaded. It doesn't even display the background, just plain white.It also doesn't execute any code, so the event listeners I've seen used for preloaders don't work until the swf is completely loaded.Do I need to somehow designate a section of code to execute before the swf is fully loaded? How do I do that?
View 5 RepliesI'm facing one problem while reading an external xml file..my execution is going on before file loaded completely.
View 2 RepliesI just tested out my site in Firefox and IE. Everything works the way I want it to in Firefox but in IE I'm having trouble. When I click on a button my preloader shows up but doesn't stop to load the content, it plays straight through and then my movie pops up. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I've never encountered this problem before.

Web Design, Illustration, Resume and Downloads are all I have working so far.
Is it possible to use JavaScript to detect whether a .swf file has loaded completely within a web page?Assume that the .swf file is pulled from a 3rd-party website and we don't have access to its source code.
View 2 RepliesI´m loading some MP3 from an external URL. I need to wait to completely load the mp3 and then start to play it. Do you know how can I check when mp3 loads completely? This is my code:
var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("url.com/file.mp3"));
var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
channel = s.play();
I have been getting errors when i try and make a call or get data from something on the main stage (like a volume slider) from an external class.
I have flash gallery with an mp3 component. The MP3 component features a volume slider movie clip that i manually put on the stage.
When i try and reference this from a file that is not the main as3 file it comes back as not being defined unless i set a small timer to kind of put my external class to sleep, then reference the slider.
Is there a way to fire off an event when all the components on the main stage are fully loaded?
I am experiencing an interesting problem...I have a URLLoader instance with a Event.COMPLETED listener. I can reproduce behavior such that when the listener is called, there is a discrepancy in the amount of loaded data.

I seem to recall that Loader.unload() could once be used to stop loading a swf before it had finished loading. I can no longer find documentation or the blog where I read this. Perhaps it was an unofficial feature. Anyhow, IModuleInfo, returned by ModuleManager.getModule() has an unload() method. If I want to halt loading a Flex Module that is in progress, do I just call iModuleInfo_instance.unload()?
View 1 RepliesOk, so I have tried and tried to figure this out. Of course in the test environment everything works beautifully, but when I test my swf on my site, thats when the sh*t hits the fan.
The problem is my buffer bar wont show up until the video is completly loaded. In flash however, it loads across as the video is downloaded, like it's supposed to.
Go to my site to see what I am talking about. The loader bar appears uder the progress bar, exactly like on youtube. www.blankensteincreations.com
Here is the code that controls it.
Code:
mcVideoControls.mcProgressFill.mcFillGrey.width = nsStream.bytesLoaded * 710 / nsStream.bytesTotal;
Of course that is wrapped in a timer funtion which, I add, works fine.
FLA is attatched as well as the code below so you can see how it works in flash.
Here is my full code:
Code:
const BUFFER_TIME:Number = 8;
const DEFAULT_VOLUME:Number = 0.6;
const DISPLAY_TIMER_UPDATE_DELAY:int = 10;
