I am facing a problem using a preloader which is nested in an MC. When I load an external swf the preloader gets stuck on 100%. This is the code for the preloader:
ActionScript Code:
//stoped the playback
MovieClip(root).stop();
//importing all neccessary libraries
import flash.utils.Timer;

this._parent.loadMovie("01.swf", "input");
};

Having problems with creating a simple progress bar with percentage loader recieving bytes loaded from a external swf file loading into a empty movieclip using as2. When exported the progress bar is complete and reads 100% and doesn't load the swf. Other attempts resulted with the loader not being shown and the swf being loaded, which is good but, the progress loader doesn't appear.
Here is the code I'm using.
--------------------------------
//First Frame
[code]......
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.
This is my code:
//Stop Framestop();
//Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loadsthis.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loading);
//Runs when the loading progress has changedfunction loading(event:ProgressEvent):void{//Determine the percent loaded from bytesLoaded and bytesTotalvar percent:Number = event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal * 100;
//Stretch a progress barprogressBar.scaleX = percent / 100;
//Set the progressText text box to the percent loadedprogressText.text = int(percent) + "%";
//When the load is finished, go to frame 2if(percent == 100){this.gotoAndStop(2);}}
I'm creating a website with an animated intro. I would like the intro and the website to load at the same time using the same preloader.it would be Swf 1 + swf 2 = total bytes
View 7 RepliesFirst 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.
Basically I have this one level "stencil.swf" which is a page showing thumbnails.when you click on one of the thumbnails it does an onrelease / loadmovie that loads an above level of one the works ("stencil1.swf", "stencil2.swf" etc etc) pertaining to the thumbnail you clicked..What the problem is when you click a thumbnail some of those external swf's take a while to load and you can't tell anything is happening. I know I need to put a preloader on the main stencil level to show that it's loading something above, but I don't know where? is there a way to run a preloader when you onrelease?
looking around this site I've found you can do a levelXX.getbytes in the main level so that it will tell you something is loading above, but I don't know how this can work for me in my case because they load onrelease, where would I put these loaders for each thumbnail? I'm stuck, and I have 2 more pages with similar problems. because they are loading when you click a button...click here for files
files include
"stencil.fla" - which is the main level
"stencil1.swf" "stencil2.swf" "stencil3.swf" "stencil4.swf" etc - the swf's that load in

I like to play external preloader before it's load original movie index.swf. But I have a problem on resizing index movie. Sample files on link [URL].

I created a flash slideshow which preloads the images. After preloading the images, it proceeds to load an external flash file and then the images. The problem is, very very occasionally, it will fail to actually load the images into view, and I'll just see the preloading animation, but it might still load the external swf. Additionally, it might do the reverse, and load the images and not load the external swf.
Here is the (I think) relevant code:
function onXMLLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
// create new xml with the received data
xmlSlideshow = new XML(e.target.data);
// get total slide count
// misc xml data

I'm made a simple preloader that works fine for my main movie. Now I need it to work when loading external movies.Below is the code I'm using (AS 2.0) for the preloader.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;

I have a site at [url]... with flash content on the home page. The preloader works fine the first time you load the page, but if you click any link on the page, and then hit "back" in Internet Explorer to get back to the home page, the preloader shows stuck at 100%.
The movie file has 2 frames. The 1st for the preloader, and the 2nd for the content. Here's the code for my preloader[code]...

Code:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
stop();
function update(e:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor((e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal);
preloader_mc.preloaderBar_mc.scaleX = percent/100;

I can't get the preloader to show when loading these external swfs.The functionality works but I need to show the preloader. When I test it the first movie will show the preloader.Does anything in my code keep the preloader from showing?[code]
View 4 RepliesMy preloader works fine only for the first time, then after it not works ? I got 3 buttons on the stage which are calling 3 external swfs. I am getting this Error ?

I'm writing a preloader to load external movie clips but my function doesn't seem to be working properly. I call the function and it says that 100% is loaded and makes the movie clip thats showing the out put invisible...thats what supposed to happen except for the going to 100% straight away. the percent is being calculated properly but i think that the function is being executed before the new movie even starts to load...i've tried movieClip.onData but it doesn't seem to work..
Well heres the code
Code:
function loader() {
percentClip._visible = true;
targetClip._visible = false;
percent = 0;

I've been searching to find a simple answer to external preloaders, but it seems there are many ways to accomplish this with ac3.
I am new to as3 and this is what I've come up with so far:
green_mc.scaleX = 0;
black_mc.scaleX = 0;
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("zibapistachiointeractivesmfilesize03.swf"));
[Code] .....
Everything else is working except my dynamic text that should also be calculating the % of loading.
I have my preloader loading my main swf where I'm loading another swf that contains a background.
When my preloader is done it shows my main swf but it takes a while after that for the background to load.
Whats the easiest way to get my preloader to wait until the background swf is done loading?

I've been reading up on it for a while now, but I can't seem to figure it out.
[URL] The website button function and External swf transition scripting is base on that tutorial. it would be great if i could let peoples to see the preloading process while my web loading the external swf file.. can any one here tell me how to add a preloader to show loading progress every time the external swf files loading?
View 2 RepliesHow do I use a dynamic preloader [say a circular preloader that I've designed myself and not the ProgressBar preloader] to load an external jpg. Obviously, the jpg would be contained within a movie clip, say, 'imageHolder'. In short, I'd like this dynamic preloader to load the external jpg into the movie clip 'imageHolder' placed within my swf.All that needs to be figured out is how to attach any dynamic preloader to load external pics.[code]

I am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.
So I have inherited this flash project which when completely published is basically a tutorial video for software. It is set up such that there is one large movie that loads other flash movies via actionscript (I guess).
The project was supposed to be designed so that it would be easy to make translated versions, so all the software UI items (File menu, tool box, etc.) are cut into pieces and in the library. In theory a person could go and just switch out the library graphics and presto, you have a French version instead of English.
While all these elements are in the library, you can never actually see them on the stage in Flash. When you publish the project, all the items are in place. I have hunted through the actionscript and don't see the images called up.
Does anyone know how these images are being called up into the actual final swf?
I have a Flash Video custom player skin thingy that I've created that plays 4 different videos. Now they want to add a "Download Video" link and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to populate the URL to each video. Here's the AS I have so far:

It seems to me that all I need is to get my youtube chromeless player that I've loaded in the place I want it to be. Preview As you can see it's not loaded into my MovieClip! Though it IS loaded, it plays, it's the right size! Just not in the right position. I'm hoping one of you can spot me here and be my life saver. Been stuck here and sitting on this code for a couple of days, REALLY WANT TO MOVE ON! Here's my code (AS3)

I have a movie which is serving as a button.When you rollover the image, it grows, and stops.When you rollOut, it shrinks, and stops.This code works fine. The Problem:When you scroll the mouse over quickly, the animation get stuck and doesn't execute the rollOut code.This is most likely because the first rollOver action hasn't yet completed.Here's my code:
thumb_test_4.onRollOver=function () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);

I made a flash website with photo galleries using a component that I bought online. The component is loading the image in a thumbnail scroll bar via a XML file and the full size image display in a UILoader. So far nothing special. But when I reach a certain amount of pictures in the gallery, the scroll panel get stuck while loading and doesn't display the full size image. Then the thumbnails don't react at all.

changing a preloader I have into a preloader that can be used for loading external swf.Now the code for the preloader is
loadedbytes = getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/1000);
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/1000);

Ie the preloader and steps through a preloader animation filling the logo (ie loader)Now I have tried changing a few things but having problems tried loading into a container and a level
