ActionScript :: Wait For Image To Built Before Loading Frame
Jul 5, 2011
I have a script that takes lots of content and builds 1000s of MovieClips on the stage, does lots of drawing etc. Due to the high amount of work needed when the frame first loads this can sometimes be delayed by a second or two. The more the user uses the application the longer and longer this is likely to be (more data to siphon through and build). My question to you is how do I make sure the frame doesn't show (serve a loading image or something) until it is built? I don't want the user to see the skeleton of the page and then everything appear a second or two later.

So I am loading some very poorly built AS2 swfs into an AS3 file.I am able to open them and close them (addChild and removeChild)The problem I am now faced with is each of these AS2 swfs contain video using the AS2 FLVPlayback component. When I open the first SWF, the video plays fine, I close the SWF(removeChild). Then I go to open the next and the video will not play.
If I reload the page and open that second video first, it works.It seems when I watch a video for the first time no matter which AS2 swf I pick, it works. Its when I close it and open another one is when it doesn't work..

Looking to load first frame art (image) then pause video. Anyone with any experience with this? It's a fullscreen bg video so creating a poster (replacement) image isn't appropriate.

I wrote the following code to have flash stop on frame 1 and wait for the click on the start button. I will use the animation in Connect Pro and without a Start button, the audio starts before the video. Here is the code and following is the error I get in the Compiler when I play the animation. The button does have the instance name play_btn :
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);
function buttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} stop();
The error I get is:
Location: Scene=Scene1, layer=actions, frame=1, line 3
Description: The class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded.
Source: Function buttonClicked(event:MouseEvent);void

Okay my_btn will do this;
image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");
gotoAndPlay(frame#);
What i want to do, is, make it wait before it the timeline goes to the certain frame#, so the image_loader1 loads its image1. I'm making it wait, not because it takes time loading (which it would not, since image1 is already on the stage, loaded up in image_loader2) but the image still takes time to show on the image_loader1 (half a second).So, I want my_btn to be functioned like this that it performs its first action which is
'image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");' and then 'gotoAndPlay(frame#);'..

In a movie clip, I have a function named addObject(string). Inside that function I am loading another movie clip (say, myObj1_mc) using attachMovie. After loading, I need to set the string passed to the text field inside the myObj1_mc. But it is not possible to do this immediately, because the movie clip will take some time to load after the attachMovie call. Means if we set this string in the next frame, it will be working. But in my case, I have to call addObject multiple times (from a single frame). In each time, different movie clips (say, myObj1_mc, myObj2_mc, etc.) are created dynamically and texts are set. So it would be better if I can wait until the movie clip (myObj1_mc) is loaded completely so that I can set the text, before the addObject function exit.
how can we wait, until a movie clip attached is completely functional.

I would like to load different images with Loader object and put them in an Array.can I use only one Loader object to load multiple images or I have to use one Loader object for each loaded image? This array is the base images collection from which I'll generate new Bitmap objects.My problem is that I have to wait the complete loading process before I can access to BitmapData.

I am trying to load the output of a php-file into some flash variables and then fill some textfields with those variables. But it seems like even though I have a completehandler it tries to fill the textfields before I get all the data.
Code:
function loadQuestion(){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("the url to my php script");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
Is it wrong of me to have the completeHandler inside the loadQuestion function? And is it wrong of me to assume that because I put the data in the textfields in the completeHandler it should w8 until its finished loading?

I have a slideshow that loads image files with the BulkLoader class from here. When the first image is loaded completely, it gets added to a MovieClip container to add it to the stage.. and it gets displayed fullscreen, but only if a button is clicked:
fullScreenButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showFull);
function showFull(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addChild(mcSlideHolder);
[Code]....
This works fine unless the fullScreenButton is clicked before the image is loaded completely, then of course nothing is visible. How do I get button click event that calls showFull() to wait until the image is loaded/added to the container or how can I add it again? What is a possible/the best approach?
I tried dispatching a custom event "firstImgAdd" that adds the image again to the container when the fullScreenButton is clicked, as well as with a try/catch block or even a simple if condition but none of them worked, meaning the image does not get added to the container after it has finished loading when the button is clicked too early.

I am currently doing a project which involves quite a large swf file at the end. I was wondering if anyone knows a way that i can easily make it so that at the begging, when first loading up the flash, it just loads the menu and a couple of other frames, but when i go onto play the game, it will load each level just before you play it, so that the player doesnt get bored from waiting right at the begging for a while when they can wait 5 seconds before each level.
Im pretty sure ive seen this done before but im not sure whether it is preparing it in that time, or downloading it. I want it so that there will be a 10-20 second wait for the game to load up, then you go to the menu, press play, loads the next frame, or certain number of frames, you play that level, then it keeps on doing this for all the levels.

My program reads a rather large data file that is crucial to the display of the program I am making.I have an event listener that waits for my loader to load all data from the file, and it then adds all the data (and parses it) to a 2d array.Unfortunately the program flow doesnt wait for the loading to finish, so when it checks the array, it is still empty because nothing is loaded into the array yet.

I'm using loadMovie() to load external swf's and then send the swf to a specific frame, depending on the button that is pressed.
Code:
on(release){
_root.mc_mainloader.loadMovie("Main.swf")
_root.mc_mainloader.gotoAndPlay("fadeup");
}
Unfortunately it ignores the second line, which appears to be because the movie hasn't loaded by time it gets to the next line. As a work-around I made an interval to check for the movieclip width to be more than 0 and then run a function that chooses the desired frame, but this is very unreliable. Is there a simple way to load the clip and wait until it is finished, then immediately choose a frame on load?

We've got some sample videos on our website and I'm using the default FLVPlayback so viewers can see them. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the video to begin playing and I was wondering if there was a way to put a message on the screen while it's loading that say something like "Please Wait While the Video Loads" and then have it disappear once it starts.
Right now the player window doesn't even show up until the video begins to play. The videos are .flv files that I have in a directory on our website and the FLVPlayback just references them.

I have an application swf that loads a big external swf with all GUI components/assets (skin) in it.I want to display a progress bar during loading of the external asset swf file but the images for the progress bar are also included in the external swf file.Is it possible to load only a portion of the external swf before loading the rest. The idea is to load the progress bar images from the external swf, then construct the progress bar and than load the rest of the swf. I was thinking to put it on different frames. Frame 1 containing the progress bar graphics and frame 2 the rest of the assets.

I'm working on a mock project (no real client involved) and just sent the site out to some friends to view and give feedback. All of them saw what I was seeing and said it looked great. One person however, said the site looked like it was loading in weird. He sent me a video of what he was looking at. It seems like the contents of my 3rd frame are already loaded in at frame one and the ones that load in dynamically in frame 3 never come in at all. Lots of things going wrong here. Below is a link to the live site and a link to a zip file containing all working files. Inside the zip is also a couple of video files, one is a video of what the site should look like (Vid1.mov) and the other is a video of what my friend was seeing (Vid2.mov).

I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
