how to create a single preloader that would load my main timeline and all external images? I'm using multiple instances of the loader component to import jpgs.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to import dozens of images and have them in sequence in a single layer. I did this once before, I made a .swf out of a video game cutscene and I recall importing the images to the stage then I asked somewhere else how to make them appear in the layers field. Then I did something that put each image in its own layer and I had to manually move them and make them appear in sequence.
So if anybody knows how to import and put in a single layer in sequence or simply import each image into its own layer
How do I create multiple units of a single class, but still be able to target it individually?
For example, I want to create 5 instances of Apple(), but I want to move the 3rd instance of Apple to a specific location. How can I target the 3rd one?
I want each item in a list to change to a totally unique view file. Instead of 10 items in a list all going to 1 new view but with different info being generated I want 10 different view, 1 per item in the list. I can't find any examples of how to do this and I have been tryingo to make it for for a while. This is for a mobile app.

I'm trying to load multiple preloaders, for some reason the following code only works on one movie clip.
for (var i:int = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
var mc = new MovieClip();
var pre = new PreLoader();[code].....
This only works on the last movieclip created when I need to have each movieclip have it's own preloader.
I am experimenting with AS3 and I created a page that loads around 35 images to the screen from XML and randomly scatters them on the stage. I know how to use the ProgressEvent to show the loading for each individual image, but I am trying to figure out a way to show it as a whole. The one think ive tried & acheived is to have total number of loaded images divided by total number of images. So when 15 of 30 images are loaded its 50 %, etc.... But Id like to have a more effcient preloader that shows the actually loading.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a 360 turn by importing .png files into each movie clip. I wanted the preloader bar to increase in size as each one loads. Once the preloader is completed on frame one, I have it go and stop on frame 2, but there is a blank screen for a view seconds. I think the images were still loading after the preloader was completed.

I'm preloading multiple images with my Flash file. What what I'd like to do is preload all of them together, and group them into one preloader that shows the percentage of all of them together in one. At the moment I'm just using a preload GIF to show that they are loading. I'm sure there's a better way.[code]

I am not after any kind of complex animation loader, just simple text that says 'Image Loading'
So I guess to simplify it, it could just be a peace of text that disappears when the image loads in.....am I making any sense?[code]...

var holder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

This is how I load my images in:
Code:
Select allvar holder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
holder.addChild(loader);
So, I created a movie clip exported as 'preloader' and loaded it like this:
Code:
Select allvar preloader:Preloader = new Preloader();
holder.addChild(preloader);

The above code loads an XML file which contains the path to text and image files, i am able to trace the path correctly within the above PARSE function but i am not able to retrieve the variable (or trace it for that matter) in the LOAD TEXT section, As i continue to code, i would also like to dynamically load multiple images (in the LOAD IMAGES section) using the projectPath and iterating through each image listed in an XML file. I am not at that point yet but my question is how would i create a progressbar/preloader that diplays total progress for all URL Requests (the text file and multiple images listed in the XML).
I need to create a preloader that loads multiple swfs that will be used in my project.

pp_02_options.swf (8.49 MB)
pp_03_insurance.swf (1.21 MB)

Is it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.

View 1 RepliesI want a chart that has several separate series running in rows across. They are largely separate charts and should not overlap, but all share the same horizontal datetimeaxis. They don't share the same y-axis, however and that's where I'm getting stuck.I have tried having a linechart series and then a plotchart series, but it will only allow a single <mx:series> per chart without having them inside the same series which as far as I can tell will place the charts on top of each other in the z-axis. I can stack them and have them completely separate charts, but it was proving to be somewhat irritating having them align correctly.
Is there any reasonable way of combining multiple charts into one like this? Basically having rows in a table where each row is a different chart but the columns are consistent. or am I going to be best served just by stacking separate ones? an illustration of what i'm going for is here: http:[url]........
In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view.
Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
I don't want to use the standard "3 frame" preloader for my main movie. Is there a way to make a preloader for the main movieclip in a single frame without having to use an onEnterFrame?I've tried using MovieClipLoader, but that will only work for externally loaded clips and images, not for the main movie itself?
View 6 RepliesIs there a way to have a pre-loader based on a single movie clip, instead of on the entire SWF size? This movie clip may have a single graphic, but the entire movie has a slideshow with more images to display...but rather than making my visitor wait for the entire site to download before they see anything, I'd like to have it so when that graphic is loaded, it displays while the rest of the movie finishes loading. And there would be a preloader that shows the progression of the single movie clip.
View 3 Repliesi tried the tutorial that teaches you how to create a preloader....i followed the instructions and it still doesnt work! what's wrg?[code]on my first frame actions....i put the "gotoAndPlay (36)" cause i tried a previous preloader that took more than 1 frame and didnt want to change my button's "goTo" frames...but i figured it wont change anything..anyways, i put that line of code as my first frame action....by double clicking the timeline..then i create a symbol for that frame 1 and created an animation.

I am trying to use an existing link with a flash file that is functional to also link to another page at the same time. Basically I am using Joomla and I have a flash file that has menus and pictures and such. I want to be able to click on a link within the flash file and still have it do its given function of pulling up an image or opening another menu or whatever the current function of that link is. The problem I am having is that I also want this link when clicked to navigate to a specific url to show aditional content on one of the Joolma pages.when one of the links in the flash file is click and it pulls up a specific image within the flash file.I want it to also pull up text or other content below my flash file that goes along with the image.
