ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading External Papervision File?
Dec 21, 2009
I'm trying to preload a external SWF file made with AS3 + Papervision, but I'm getting:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Papervision2049$iinit()
Papervision2049 is the name of my Main.fla document class.I already tried tons of loaders, but they all end up with the same error.My current Loader.fla has on the 1st frame:
Code:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.load(new URLRequest("main.swf"));
[code]....

I made a preloader which is similar to the preloader in the tutorial from gotoandlearn.Works all fine except, that the swf-file, which contains a movie (with sound n everything) already starts playing, while its still loading. So in fact u can see the preloader loading, while you can already hear the sound of the movie.How can I prevent the external swf-file from playing before it has finished loading?(And I'd prefer to handle the problem with 2 seperate swf-files. I know I could make the preloader in the first frame and tell to skip forward to the second frame when it's done loading...)

In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.

I am trying to build a portfolio application similar to the used by Whitevoid. I am using Flex 4 and Papervision3D 2. I have everything working except for one issue. When I try to load an external SWF as a material on one of the planes, I can see any native Flex or Flash components in their correct positions, but the papervision objects are not being rendered properly. It looks like the viewport is not being set in the nested swf. I have posted my code for loading the swf below.
private function loadMovie(path:String=""):void
{
loader = new Loader();
request = new URLRequest(path);
[Code]....
Below I have posted two pictures. The first is a shot of the application running by itself. The second is the application as a MovieMaterial on a Plane. You can see how the button created as a spark object in the mxml stays in the correct position, but papervision sphere (which is rotating) is in the wrong location.

I'm working with Collada files and I need them to be a certain size. When instantiating them in pv3d you set the filename, materials, and scale. Scale works like a percentage, and there's no way to get the width, height, or depth of the DAE once in flash. I want to be able to specify the size of DAE in 3D space relative to other pv3d native geometry.

I am using preloader from the main swf file to load other swf file, if i use a preloader inside my other swf file then it wont show so sorting that problem I am referencing this nice material on preloaders [] I have sorted the preloader problem by calling the preloader from the main swf file and hiding the other swf file till its fully downloaded. but now the problem is I have got no functionality from that swf file, i mean i have got that mouse effect in the other swf file that where ever you move the mouse in the screen the showreel adjusts itself but its static now.
I have got this container mc in my main swf file, and i am using the other swf file by clicking the button, the swf file loads in the container mc after showing the preloader but its kind a static.

I just want to have them in the cache so they can be called on instantly,

I have the following file partially completed URL... The idea is I want to make a full flash site so that I can preload everything at once. Is there anyway of preloading those externally loaded buttons at the same time as what will eventually be the rest of the site? Either that or does anyone know a way of making buttons from Dreamweaver work in flash... when I import them they dont work and thats why I'm loading them externally.

I am trying to use the External SWF Preloading Tutorial. Its a great tutorial, but when i try and load the swfs inside the holder it loses some of its functionality. The rollover states of the buttons work but when one clicks on the calender it does not work and some other things dont work also.

I've found this bit of code and it works for preloading my single 'Q1.swf' in an old AS2 project I did a while back. How do I adapt it to preload 5 swf's? Can I load them all to the same target mc or do I have to load them on separate levels or to different targets.I don't want to change the project to AS3 as the budget doesn't allow. Also will this work when the project is viewed from a CD as well as online?[code]

i have a preloader working. except i want to be able to load external images fully first, before the preloader stops. currently the preloader loads everything except the external images, and then everything else starts (but behind the scenes the external images haven't loaded yet and this is annoying!)... how can have the preloader continue until all assets, internal and external, are fully loaded?
ps, i don't want to give each image an individual preloader! i need them all there when the thing starts.

I need to preload an external swf in my file - but I don't want a preloader bar or count or anything - I simply want it to perform in the background - and if done proceed to a certain frame. I've been googling preloaders for a bit now and they all have the bars and percentage count - and I couldn't seem to customize it.

I'm having a problem preloading external images from an XML file in AS3. It's a scrolling image gallery and everything loads fine, but I can't figure out how to preload the images (all I've been able to do is preload the actual .xml file, which is useless to preload a 10k file). The thumbs skip, the big pics pause, etc.
I'm moderate in AS2 and decided to do this project in AS3(doh), and it's been painful;
Here's my code:
Code: Select allimport flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;

Does anyone know why this might be or if it has been answered before.
I got it to work by using loadMovieNum but then lost placement of the swf it keeps going to the top left. I would really like to use loadClip it seems alot more customizable.

I want to import a couple of swf in my flashmovie and several of them is just text and the other is large pictures.
The movie is divided into pages that showes one imported text swf and one picture.
I want the text swf to be imported before the picture so you could read the text while the picture is loading so you dont have to wait so much. You could still read the text, ok?
So how could I preloading external swf in a certain order?
I want the code to say : First import the text and then the picture with minimum coding of course.

I need to pre-load multiple external MP3s. I have a preloader on my flash piece that preloads the SWF file and shows a progress bar and all that jazz. I am using the Sound class to load all the MP3 files when I need them (they are voice overs).
Is there a way to hook the preloading of those sound files into the preloader that I already have and then just call them up when needed?

I'm having a problem preloading xml loaded content. I'm using the usual this.getbytesloaded at the start of my timeline. The problem is this is getting the total bytes for the container swf before the xml has loaded up all the images and content so my preloader is running short.

In AS3 i am using the Loader class to load in multiple external SWFs (AVM1), each of which has a short animation which automatically plays when the swf is I obviously cannot control the timeline of these (i can't use local connection etc) but would like to load in the *.swf files, so they're in memory then add them to the stage when requested. the problem is that if i load them enmass. then use addChild
when they are called, they have already played through and animated pre the addChild command.

Im using a mix between xml and loadClip to dynamically load the content of a photogallery into my swf. Everything is working fine except the preloader. I know how to make a preloader for each individual image using this function:[code]However for this particular project it does not matter when each individual image is loaded, but rather I need to know when the whole lot is done.it could be that Im using the wrong approach and maybe I can solve this with some kind of a onLoad(success) type function on the xml part of the code.

i'm having a problem with using a preloader to load external swfs into my movie. the swfs are loaded into my movie using "holder.loadMovie(movies[k])", where movies is the array i'm using to reference the movies i want to load. the problem is that the movies being loaded using this method are not being preloaded correctly. in my preload function, the percent variable that i'm using is constantly at 100% no matter how large the external swfs are. even when i try placing "trace(holder.getBytesLoaded()/holder.getBytesTotal())" into my enterframe function, the value always traces to 1, meaning that everything has been fully loaded. i have also tried using the debug options to change the speed of the load to simulate a slower speed, but still, it made no difference.
