Basically I have a background image which is loaded while the rest of the flash file is loaded. So once the preloader has finaly appeared its already half way through which I dont want.
Is there a way I can specify a certain image to be loaded before everything else in the flash file and before the first frame to start?
public class Framework extends MovieClip
{
var _loadingSystem:LoadingSystem;

I have designed an Adobe AIR application. I want to show some preloader on it, before it opens up. tutorials on preloader aimed for AIR specifically or any already built in ones?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a preloader for a little flash project that involves re-assembling a load of rectangles to make up a pattern.Idea is that instead of the usual load bar i wanted to make use of this pattern that is relevant to the project and have it rebuild it self with these rectangles flying in from the side. So far I have got the tweening sorted using the tween class and staggered the 42 (yes took a little while, probably an easier way so let me know on that also) rectangles using 'setTimeout' so it releases each 100milliseconds after the one one before it. This probably the wrong way to do it but i wanted to check how it looked and this was the one way i knew how to do it.
I want to make it so that these rectangles fly in a complete the pattern once the loading has finished, but on a fast connection I don't want it to rush the animation but for a slow connection I obviously want it to adjust the release time and maybe even the travel speed to compensate.
I had an idea of maybe working out the percentage loaded divided by 42 and then run an if statement to see if that percentage for that segment had been reached before 100millseconds had passed, if 100 had passed then release the rectangle, if not then hold the rectangle until 100 m/s had passed. Not sure if that is the best way to do but that's why I'm looking for some suggestions from more experienced developers.

I'm working on a game in Flash CS5 / AS3 and I'm trying to get my preloader to work. At the moment, when I load the SWF file with 'simulate download', the file will load but my preloader won't show. The preloader does show for a moment when the loading is at around 90%.I have unchecked 'export to first frame' since that's what the Internet told me to do, but there are so many different tutorials for nearly every version of Flash/AS around that I'm rather confused; not sure how to fix this.My preloader code is as follows:
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{

i convined by boss to splash out on flash cs4 for work to make the website. it worked fine for about a week. now, when i try to start it, it just starts to load then crashes. it looks as if it is going to load then doesn't. i have tried uninstalling, rebbotiong in safemode and using various registry programs and reinstalling
View 3 RepliesI have problems with creating a preloader in AS3. I have tried several tutorials but the problem remains... the preloader starts counting at 50% and is only shown after a few sec. I have removed all export in 1 frame from my instances.I have no sound. I would prefer not to load my main.swf into another swf, if there is another solution.

View 3 RepliesI have an image gallery that I made with this tutorial (AS3 Photo Viewer Tutorial), and I'm trying to get an external preloader to load it. The only tweaks I've made to the tutorial file have been to change the stage size, and change the name and contents of the xml file.The preloader, which uses something I downloaded from preloaderz, worked with another, simpler swf, but when I try it with this one, I get
Quote:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at PhotoViewer()
I don't know why this won't work. Another thing I don't quite get is how the .as file is attached, because the PhotoViewer.fla file appears to be blank, with nothing I can see in the timeline/ stage, or in the actionscript. Before trying the external preloader, I tried adding one to PhotoViewer.fla, using script from the ActionScript 3 Classroom in a book, which worked in their lesson file, but not with this file. I also tried moving the script to the .as file, but that didn't work either.I'm using Flash CS4. If all else fails, I might have to try a simpler image gallery, that would hopefully work with a preloader, but I like how this one looks.
this is the code of my preloader:
ActionScript Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(new URLRequest("Solar.swf"));

When i test the movie the background image is loaded, but when i simulate the download ( so as to check how the preloader works ) the image "NightSky.jpg" doesn't load and there is an error in the output panel.
This is the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
All the files and the image are in the same file on my computer.
I have my site working using this style of loading in images. I want to add a preloader so it works better is this possible?

View 2 RepliesI tried to implement a simple preloader for an existing swf movie. I've created a new flash document and added the Loader as well as a ProgressBar component. In the action script of the key frame 1, I implemented the following:
import mx.controls.ProgressBar;loader.contentPath = "myMovie.swf"; pBar.setStyle("themeColor", "0xF49417");pBar.setStyle("color","0x3D566F"); pBar.labelPlacement = "bottom"; pBar.label = "LOADING %3%%"pBar.scaleY = 150; pBar.conversion = 1024; pBar.source = loader; pBar.mode = "polled"; loader.load();
The problem is now that the movie starts playing (i.e. its sound) before the progress bar is completely finished. This usually happens around 80%. How can I avoid that the movie starts before the progress bar reaches 100%?
I am very new to Flash CS4, however I was able to create a preloader with help from a Dan Carr tutorial.Here is my source

The movie loads and plays but the preloader only loads part of the way. How would I go about having the preloader progress bar load all the way then have the movie start?
So everything works fine except when the preloader reaches 100% the swf already started. below has the action script in the preloader.swf file... in my main movie the first frame has stop();
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("3DFlashFinal.swf");
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();

View 1 RepliesI have been working on a site of mine, and I wanted to make a 360 rotation view thing with some pictures (12 shots all from different angels around the same axis). I need to make a preloader load everything up front, so there wont be any legging.
My best guess was making a slide show kinda thing, with an rotation and zoom bar. And before the slide show, a frame that holds the preloader. But the preloader doesn't loads the right images. I load my images from an XML file, and then parse them into an array (something I got from here I believe). That parts seems to work all fine, but when I load the images using a "container.loadMovie(image[i]);" code, it isnt loading anything, except for an error :s

View 3 RepliesHowever when doing so it then has to load this sound file even before the preloader can display. One work around I've used before is to make a swf that just loads the entire second swf. This ensures that everything will be loaded at the start.However, if possible I would like to avoid this. I know that if i place the sounds on the stage (after frame 1) the preloader works fine, but at that point Im unsure how to access them within my as3 files.So if anyone knows how to ensure the sounds do not get loaded before the preloader starts and I am still able to control them via actionscript.

I need the next image to start motion tweeing up to the top of the screen right when the first image starts fading out.

Is there any way of doing this?
I am using the video component with AS3. I have an external flv which loads nicely...that's fine. Now I am looking for a way to remove a preloader animation once the video starts streaming. The preloader is just an animation without a status (percent) bar. In plain English the code would be: if flv file is streaming, fade preloader animation I am also noticing that the first frame of the video shows while it's loading...is there a way to change it so that nothing is seen until streaming? If worst comes to worst I can always make a mask.
