how to preload all the thumbnails and the first picture from an XML.
i figure it would be something like this place all thumbnails into a holder(thumbnail_mc) and getBytesTotal() and getBytesLoaded() then getBytesTotal() and getBytesLoaded() of the first picture which is in it's own holder(image_mc)add the getBytesTotal() together add the getBytesLoaded() together then create preloader from these
I have loaded thumbnails using xml, and wanted to click on the thumbs and goes to a specific url, but failed so far.

I'm trying to create a portfolio with ten images that I needto be loaded and added on the stage.The problem i not to load theese images or adding themdirectlyt on the stage, but I want them to be added inside a thumbthat I've created as a movieclip.I've also created a for...loop so the thumbs dynamically areadded on the stage. To access them I've given them an instance-nameusing [object].name = "[name]" and I've also created an Array tokeep track of the names.
View 1 RepliesMy prototype code doesn't seems to work and I cant seem to centralize this dynamically loaded thumbs via stage listener. No idea why its not centralizing. Is there a way to load the thumbs one by one using the moviecliploader method ?
Code:
#include "lmc_tween.as"
var count:Number = -1;
sl = new Object();
sl.onResize = function() {
scroller.container.tween("_x", Stage.width/2 - scroller.container._width/2, 1, "easeOutSine");

I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.
What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

I'm using a embeded variable in the source name of my .swf to define the where my swf is going to load the XML. And the XML tells my swf where to load the pictures.This works great - for a while. but after like 2-5 minutes it stops loading the images!(the movie is still running tho).I am using a fader-movieclip, and inside this movieclip in a specific frame I call for the "changePic();" function I created to change pictures. And when this movieclip is gonna run is told by a variable I call "InteractiveTimer".
When the timer<1, I play the movieclip, who after a few seconds plays the changePic(); function.So, anyone knows what's wrong? is it a browser-bug perhaps or server issues? (it's not happening when there is no more pictures, I've created a function to loop it. Everything works perfectly, but after a while it seems like it looses connection or smth :S )
EDIT: I'm using a Loader to load the images, when it's time for next picture I use:
myLoader.contentPath=myXML.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0]; i++;
that is what the fader-function is triggering ( changePic(); )
I would like to create a preload bar that fades out when the content is loaded. Here is the code I have so far, it works ok but the fade out is too long. I've tried tinkering with the code further, but it starts to fade out half way through.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();

I am using the transition preloader on url]... to load in external swfs (http:url...). I have Spark's calendar component on one of the external swfs. All text appears fine when testing the calendar page itself but the text seems to disappear when it's loaded as an external swf into the main file. Is this a path issue?
View 3 RepliesI'm running into an error 1009 on a script that I've been working on. What I'm trying to do is attach a preloader Movie Clip that I have in my library with a class name of preloader, to an empty Movie Clip called preloaderMC and position that on a set of loaded thumbnail images. I can get the code to show one preloader and it will track the total of all the images being loaded, not single images. Ideally, I'd like the preloaders to show the amount loaded for each image and then disappear.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to preload an mp3 file dynamically while showing the typical 'percentage loaded' in a dynamic text box. However for some reason, the percentage just doesn't count up - it freezes on 100% even though the mp3 file is still loading. I have included the code that I'm using below. Also, does anyone know what would be the best way to adjust this code so that I could preload multiple mp3 files at the same time or one after another?

Situation: Got a flash object with an icon bar (div with pngs) on top of it. Works on all browsers except Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 8. Example: http://ListAndPlay.com
Problem: Icons suddenly disappear after the flash is being loaded. See this screenshot: http:[url]...What I've tried: Setting z-index, recoding the JQuery behind it, nothing works.
I'm building a flash movie for something at work and im loading in some images using an XML file but when i use a preloader it only preloads the XML file (as in just the text inside) and not the images.
This causes the movie to start playing without having the images loaded.Does anyone have any ideas about how i could get it to preload the contents/images being called in the XML file so it doesn't run as soon as the XML file is loaded.
I have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?
View 1 RepliesI am making a drag and drop game using AS2 in Flash CS5 where mc items are duplicated and enlarged from a menu and can be placed anywhere on the stage to create a custom robot. Each part (arms, head, feet, etc.) is it's own mc with unique instance names. I have the drag and drop part all figured out, and I even have the duplicateMovieClip part working...
HOWEVER... Whenever I move from the current frame that an object was duplicated in, to another frame and then back, the clips dissapear one by one if you try to create a new one. Each list of menu items are in their own frames (heads, torsos, arms, etc.). As the duplicates are made, they remain on stage no matter what frame you go to and can still be dagged around, which is good, but as I said previously, they dissappear when you create a new duplicate. Not all disappear at once, only older created duplicates disappear as you bring in new duplicates.

I am attempting to run the XML Photo Gallery with Thumbnails from the tutorial, but contained within an empty movie clip of another swf. I've been trying to rebuild my website in Flash and I was attempting to utilize this external gallery to keep the file size down. The Test Movie of the thumbnail_initial.swf works perfectly on its own, but the thumbnails no longer scroll when I test the website.swf that I have loaded thumbnail_initial into. I created an empty movie clip (analog_mc) and placed it where I want the gallery to load. On the page containing analog_mc (timeline path is Scene1 / siteContent / analogFrame), I have tried both of the following code in the actions layer:
analog_mc.loadMovie("thumbnail_initial.swf");
and
loadMovie("thumbnail_initial.swf", analog_mc);
I get the same result with either: the gallery loads correctly where I've placed the analog_mc empty movie clip, the first three thumbs appear across the bottom, the Previous and Next buttons function, but the thumbnails do not scroll. I am using Flash CS3 on Vista, my AS skills are elementary as well as my XML.
