ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader : Start Movie When HALF The File Is Loaded?
Feb 3, 2009I'm creating a movie with heavy animation and audio in Flash CS4. I have a preloader that I purchased from flash den.com and I believe it's pre set to begin the movie when the total file is done loading.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Preloader Doesn't Load Until File Is Completely Loaded
Mar 7, 2012So I am having a problem with the flash file at this site: [URL]
Everything is working fine, except for the preloader, which only seems to load after the entire file is 100% loaded, which leaves people who visit the site staring at a black screen for quite some time... The code on the preloader frames is as follows:
frame 1 (which has the background for the preloader/ actual load bar etc}
var percent:Number = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/ getBytesTotal()*100);
textBox.text = percent + "%";
textBox._alpha = 80;
[Code]....
Also, if you want to check out the actual program just click when you get to the main screen and click to create new shape (mouse x and y change opacity and speed respectivly) I'm using actionscript 2

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Preloader Pause After External File Loaded?
Aug 24, 2010I have a preloader.swf that loads another swf (main.swf). It all works fine, however I would like the loading bar to stay on 100 (once it gets there) for 2-3 seconds before the main.swf opens, currently as expected from the code below, as soon as it gets to 100% it flicks straight over to the main.swf.
I am using tweener, and I could achieve this easily using the onComplete code to call this.addChild(loader);, however, the problem is, both my preloader and my main swf are liquid layouts, and if I were to call the this.addChild(loader); at the end in its own function, then it throws a
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
. The only way to get around this error is to put the this.addChild(loader); so that it loads upfront. After a bit of google research, i found this error occurs due to the stage properties already been set in the preloader.swf (from liquid layout)then once the main.swf loads it tries to set them again...So is there another way i can cause a delay for 2-3 seconds once my preloader hits 100?
Below is my preloader code with liquid layout settings
Code:
//LIQUID LAYOUT
stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandlerLoading);
[Code]....
1. using my tweener onComplete method and fixing the error caused by preexisting stage properties
2. Thinking of an alternate way to delay the main.swf from opening straight away (keeping in mind that this.addChild(loader); would need to stay where it is...
PS - here is a link to a person who was getting the #1009 error with preloader and liquid layout, their solution works, but won't allow me to use a tweener delay...[URL]

Adding Preloader To Already Complete Flash Website?
May 13, 2010I was given the task of adding a preloader to an already existing flash website. The website is completely in flash. Each "page" is on a layer and are made of animated movie clips. It is a portfolio website, so some pages take a while to load up. That's where the preloader comes in. I want to put a preloader at the very beginning of the page that will play as the entire site is being loaded, so when the user clicks through, each page shows up quickly and seamlessly.
I have created a preloader in a separate flash file, but can not get it to work with the website. How do I combine these two files to work?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event.COMPLETE After Grandchildren Loaded?
Jul 29, 2009I have a swf that uses a Loader to load in another swf. I want to wait until the child swf is loaded until I display it, so I have an event listener for when it's complete. The problem is that the child swf has its own children, so it comes back as being complete before its children (the grandchildren) are loaded, and therefore is being displayed while things still are popping up.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make sure that the children of the child are loaded before returning as complete.I was thinking I could add listeners on all the children that then increment a variable until it is equal to an expected number (number of loaders) and then run a function on the parent to display itself, but that seems like a last resort solution.

ActionScript 3.0 :: When Xml Is Loaded Class2 Dispatches A Complete Event
Nov 30, 2008My class is dispatching 2 events. One event is captured by another class, and the second event not.I have 2 classes. Class1 creates an object of Class2 and calls a function to load an xml. When xml is loaded class2 dispatches a Complete event. This event is listened by Class1 and then it calls another function of Class2. When the second function executes completely Class2 dispatches second event. Now the problem starts. Class1 is not able to capture this second event. Whereas while dispatchEvent is called from class2, it return true as a notification that the event is dispatched successfully.

Oct 20, 2009Unfortunately the search function on the site doesnt seem to be working. I have a website [URL]. We have created a loading page so that the user enters the site when the site is fully loaded. Unfortunately this doesnt work for those parts of the website that are being loaded externally i.e. through XML files.
An example of this can be seen on the showcase section on the left side of the Home Page.
Can I also mention that there are over 250 images being loaded externally through the XML files as well as a number of text blocks. I as a web developer are completely against this amount of images but the client wants them in so unfortunately they have to stay.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Loaded Swf Not To Start Playing Til Its Complete Event Gets Thrown?
Nov 22, 2008The preloader I usually use executes an addChild(loadedMovie)statement in response to an Event.COMPLETE event from the loaded swf's contentLoaderInfo object (a common approach, I believe.) The problem with this (as many of us know) is that the loaded swf starts running before the Event.COMPLETE event gets thrown, which means that once the child is added, it is already a few frames into its timeline. What I need is a way for the loaded swf not to start playing til its COMPLETE event gets thrown.
View 5 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Flash - Start Playing An SWF Film Being Loaded Before It Is Complete?
Aug 17, 2010I have a large SWF flash file being loaded by a parent SWF and I would like to start playing the film being loaded, let's say, when it is 50% completed. According to my expected user's bandwidth and the size of my film I will calculate the best moment to do that (the film could be 20%, 30% or 50% loaded). I want to leave users waiting the minimum and I don't need to wait until my flash is 100%.
Ok, that said, here is the problem. I am in ActionScript 3. I have one film loading another and I want to anticipate the loaded film start. I have an onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent) function (with listener launched by ProgressEvent.PROGRESS) and I have a regular onLoadComplete(e:Event) function (with listener launched by Event.COMPLETE). I could check for 20% completed during my regular onProgressHandler. But then, when I have identified this point has been reached, how can I anticipate the launching of the film? I mean, my Event.COMPLETE handler passes the e:Event and I can use e.target to get the loaded object into my film. But what happens if I want to start that process before it is complete? I cannot pass this e:Event because the COMPLETE handler hasn't been launched yet...
One important thing to say. The film that is loading is almost empty. It is very light. The heavy film is the one being loaded and I want to attach that film being loaded to a movie clip in my film before it has completed loading.
