Actionscript 3.0 :: Preloading External Loaded Swfs?

Apr 13, 2009

this is the code i'm using to load external swf files....

Code: Select allstop();
/////////////////////////Music
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.load(new URLRequest("rainbow.mp3"));

[code].....

but how do i implement this code for preloading ever swf?

Code: Select allloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;percentLoaded = Math.round(percentLoaded * 100); trace("Loading: "+percentLoaded+"%");}function loadComplete(event:Event):void {   trace("Complete");}

all i want is a simple text with % preloader on all the loaded swfs?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading A Series Of Externally Loaded Swfs?

Dec 3, 2010

Using: Flash CS3 Pro, AS 2.0

I have split the 20min presentation into a series of swfs that load into a main swf that holds the "container" movie clip. I originally added a timeline based preloader inside each swf but apparently the client wants the whole thing to be seamless (no "loading..." screens). I am completely at a loss as to how to basically preload the next swf while the current one is playing.

AS2 :: Flash Preloading External Swfs

Apr 15, 2011

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]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading The External SWFs?

Apr 5, 2007

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading External Swfs?

Jan 10, 2008

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.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Preloading Multiple External Swfs?

Oct 24, 2011

I have two swf files that I exported from After Effects. They are both fairly large (1.7mb and 2.6mb) so I decided to load them into my main fla externally. This works fine but the playback is a little choppy. I tried creating a separate preloader.fla that will play my main movie once it is loaded. This doesn't work though since my main movie is only 4kb (since all the swfs are externally loaded). With me so far?

So then I created a regular preloader inside my main fla. Here is my code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading External Swfs In Background?

Is there a way to tell flash to preload a number of swfs in the background (meaning no visual cue to the end user that this is happening), while the current movie is playing?The idea is when the user clicks on a button to move to another area, that swf has already been preloaded in to memory or cache and loads instantly.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash On Cd Calling External Swfs Preloading?

Apr 27, 2005

i've created a project that i'm putting on cd-rom. this project calls some externals swf files. everything was working lovely until i tried it from the cd. all the called swf files are running way slow and it's just a mess.so i'm trying to figure out preloading to see if that will help. i used some script i found in a thread by Scotty, and looks like the external swfs preloaded okay. and i put a stop() on the first frame of each of the external swfs so they will not play immediately. but now i'm trying to call the swfs when i need them by using a gotoAndPlay(frame) and don't know what i'm doing wrong. i need to have these swfs not play on preload but when i call them, either by EnterFrame or onPress.[code]as an aside to this, some of the forums i've been reading say it's just bad to try doing all this with flash on a cd, that i should try rolling it into director. yowza, haven't touched director in a few years..

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Entire Flash Site With External SWFs

Jul 13, 2008

I've got a Flash site up that is almost finished, but it just needs preloaders. [URL]. I plan on using this type of preloader in the gallery section and before the root movie is launched. I'm looking for a preloader that preloads the _root movie, and all of the content it loads on it's level, which will be external SWF files. I plan on using the loader in two ways for the site:

- For the preloader that I will insert before the entire movie, I plan on loading the tattoos/merchandise/contact/news external SWFs which will makeup the content of the _root movie.
- For the preloader used in the tattoos/gallery I plan on using it to display a loading bar on top of the button thumbnail clicked, then displaying the pop-up enlarged image (which is an external SWF file) of the thumbnail on top of the entire movie once the loading is finished.

I've tried some of the preloader examples given in the tutorial section without much luck.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Viewing Loaded External Swfs?

Jul 27, 2005

I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a main.fla with six movieclips acting as buttons, each loading a separate external swf into a "container" movieclip. The external swfs are playing inside the container when called, but they don't appear as they should. When played separately through FlashPlayer, the external swfs look fine. But when they're played inside the container mc from the main swf, only the bottom-most layer appears the one-line drawing and text are not visible.

view the flas and swfs in the attached zip. Only the "Event 1" button is functioning since I've only included the fla and swf for this button.I'm an AS rookie and troubleshooting this problem is WAY over my head!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Xml Loaded Text To External Swfs Dynamic Textfield

Feb 21, 2007

i'm pulling my hair over this. i have sucessfully (verified) loaded an xml file and can trace the data i'd like to pass. i am loading the external swf into an empty mc called X. in the external swf i am loading is a mc and in there is a dynamic textfield. i give the content of the xml to the path to the dynamic textfield and nothing happens. trying to pass the variable with: target.text = content;

i listed the variables and objects in the test movie debug option (command+enter) and i can see the dynamic text box variable. then i took copied the path from the output window to my actionscript, replaced _level0 with _root but still to no avail. what am i doing wrong? do i have to publish the swf being loaded in a certain way? why am i able to look at the variables in the debug list variables and objects option, but not in the actionscript?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Sequentially Play External Video SWFs Loaded Into The Main Timeline?

Feb 14, 2008

how to sequentially play external SWFs loaded into the main timeline?

I have several SWF files with short videos embedded in them. I wish to load these external SWF files into my main timeline as follows:

User Presses Button -> Play Video Clip in External SWF#1 -> Once Video Clip in External SWF#1 has Finished -> Play Video Clip in External SWF#2.

I tried achieving this by adding: var endmovie:Boolean = true; to the end of each video clip inside the external SWFs (e.g. 1.swf) then cycling through an if statement in the main timeline to see when this condition was meet:

ActionScript In Main Timeline:

Code:
var mc_Loader = new MovieClipLoader();
mc_Loader.addListener(this);

[Code].....

How is the best way to go about achieving this? Am I on the right track? (By the way, using .FLV or one long external SWF file is not really an option due to long loading times...

IDE :: Transitions Between External SWFs / Close Button For External Swfs

Aug 15, 2005

I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling And Preloading Separate SWFs On A Website?

My Website opens, its written in HTML... There is a "Navigation" FLash at the top of the page which opens up HTML documents into the "Main Frame" below.Ok now... When the Website first loads up, In the Main frame of the page I want a flash swf to play as an intro to the website (Its a band website). Once the (intro) Swf ends I want it to tell the Navigation Flash Menu Swf to go ahead and show the buttons so people can navigate.Thats my first problem, or task to solve.2nd... If it is possible to control Swf's from an external one it must be possible to preload them aswell right? So what I want to do, is the site to load up... and all the preloading done from the Navigation Swf to account for both Swfs (Intro and Navigation)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Multiple SWFs Into Cache And Playing Them Sequentially?

May 17, 2008

I've tried endlessly to make sense of the solutions that other people have posted. But I cannot seem to get any code to work my my purposes, so I decided to post my own thread.I have a main parent Flash movie that I need to load 7 exteral SWFs into. Each of the SWFs is like its own scene in a longer movie. The external files are called:

mc1.swf
mc2.swf
mc3.swf
mc4.swf
mc5.swf
mc6.swf
mc7.swf

The final parent movie should play each external SWF movie sequentially so that it appears as one combined movie (so none of the loaded SWFs are actually playing at the same time - they should only play one at a time, one after another).I want to preload mc1.swf, mc2. swf and mc3.swf into the cache before the parent movie starts playing(and I would like to include a progress bar to indicate loading status). Once those SWFs are preloaded, I would like them to start playing sequentially while the rest of the SWFs load in the background.

Basically,I have a long Flash animation that I decided to split up into several individual movies.I've using the parent movie to seamlessly string together my individual movies to give the appearance of cohesion.I have determined that I should use the MovieClipLoader Class and loadClip() to accomplish what I am trying to do.However, I have a very limited knowledge of actionscripting, so this has been a major challenge for me.

I am optimizing the parent SWF for the web, and it's important that the video plays seamlessly, so I cannot put individual preloaders onto each external SWF. They have to preload at the beginning so that when each individual SWF is called, it's already loaded and no preloader is required.
