Flash :: Preloader And FLV Files
Jul 19, 2009
I am able to get the Flash preloader working with say an image like JPG but when I attempt to have the preloader load a video it doesn't work. I read that in order to use a FLV file it needs to be embedded into a SWF file so preloader can work with it. One issue with embedding the FLV file into the SWF is the sound does not match up with video after that conversion which can kinda be fixed by changing the FPS. Needless to say I have not been able to get this working correctly. I am not sure if there is a work around for this issue.

I'm working with the following in Flash 8:1. A main SWF movie with 7 scenes and 1 scene is called Audio On the Audio scene I am loading 11 swf files for the individual songs in buttons.2. An SWF bunch of SWFs over 1mb each which are 30 sec mps songs, However, I need to get a preloader for each of the external swfs. Attached is a link to a preloader example I found and started to modify. [URL]Button Action Script
on (press) {
stopAllSounds();
}
on (release) {
Sound;
}
I am just trying to get the preloader to work with the home scene of the movie.The problem I have is the song buttons don't all appear on the home scene so I can't figure out why the preloader isn't loading everything then goes to the home scene..

I'm using this code for my preLoader:[code]And it works fine as a preLoader in that it adds the animation and counts up the percent of the swf that's loaded but only for the images on my stage. My code calls in some external mp3 files and I want the preLoader to wait until the external files are loaded too.[code]S'all pretty straight forward, I just want to make the preLoader wait until the mp3 files are loaded too.

I broke it into about 8 parts. 1 being the "mainSWF". This one loads up, and has a preloaded on Frame 1. Once this is loaded, you get to a certain page, and it loads the first external SWF, inside of this one. This SWF still uses the backgrounds, of the "MainSWF". And when you get to the end of this SWF, it sends a "dispatchEvent" to trigger a function that unloads the current SWF, and loads the appropriate new one. THIS ALL WORKS!
What I am looking to happen, is have a preloader to load the these external SWF's. (Like I have on frame 1 of the "MainSWF".
I would like to have them on the first frame of each external SWF, simply because the first frame is a good frame to sit on while the loader happens. ANd the first frame of each External SWF is different. My MainSWF preloaded is working great, and its code looks like this[code]...

I know how to make such preloader for loading one file after another. But I need preloader that will be able to preloade many files/movies at the same time and show percentage of each one. Lets talk about 3 movies. How to do that? I remember that I have seen such thing somewhere on the net before.

I am looking for a javascript based preloader that can handle .SWF (flash) files. I'm very much aware that it is possible to preload a flash file by using another flash file, but I was wondering if anyone knows about an AJAX preloader that can load swfs (also, a progressEvent would be a nice extra) and then add the flash file to the HTML document. I did quite some googling but it seems that there is no such thing out there. Is it überhaupt possible?

I have a page in flash 8 that I want to add a preloader to. I have a movie clip with the instance name bioLoader, and this is my code (applied to the bioLoader movieclip, not a frame):
Code:
Select allonClipEvent (load){
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
}onClipEvent (enterFrame){
loaded = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded / total * 100);
[Code] .....
The preloader is on it's own frame and has a stop action on the same frame. There is also a stop action on the first frame of the preloader movie clip. I'm confused because this same preloader has worked on every single other page I've added it to. Another thing is, I believe it is working, but it doesn't show up until the movie is loaded, considering it flickers when the movie plays (and the dynamic textbox shows 100%). In this same swf, I'm loading in text files with loadVars.

I have been playing around with this for few days and I am about to give up.. I want to be able to preload anythything thats being loaded to a certain MC. but I dont want to have to set any VARS in the file thats being loaded to indicate its done loading. I could make each swf thats being loaded give a var stating its done loading and make the loader gone.. but I want to be able to preload any swf.. mp3.. jpg almost anything that I load into the target.. Let me know if anyone has created something like that before..

I've had some trouble making a preloader for external .jpg files. The problem is in the onEnterFrame, I'll show you some part:
PHP Code:
loadjpg = function(mc,jpg) {mc.onEnterFrame = function() {trace("lele"); } }
that is just a part of the hole function, but I think it will be enough. It traces "lele" once, not when mc enters a new frame. I've also tried to call it with different ways like:
[mc].onEnterFrame, with (mc) { onEnterFrame() .

i read the Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files tutorial by claudio and i tried to use twise in the project. it works fine, the buttons work, in fact i did not change the code in the tutorial_complete.fla, i did the same for the photos.fla, and it works fine, but when i published the tutorial_completes.wf, i came with these two problems:
when i click the photos button in the tutorial_complete.swf, it load the photos.swf, but the code in the photos.swf does not work. it tried to change the name of the instance names and the labels, but nothing. the effect in the main buttons is great, but there is a broblem in the in the photos.swf buttons. files zipped here:[URL]

In this tutorial (Preloader and Transitions for Dynamic Files) there is an internal preloader that I wish to animate so it would paly a sequence before the new file loads. The sequence would then repeat itself until the new file does load.

This pertains to the Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files tutorial here on kirupa.
I've used this tutorial many times before but now for the first time i am using navigation that is inside a movie clip. instead of directly on the stage. I'm having problems with the content loading it just always says loading. Is there something that i would have to change in the transition code or my button code? all the code for my buttons is inside of nav_mc movie clip. here is my fla. to take a look at

I created a preloader. When I test it in Flash CS4, it works fine. When I upload the swf files to my server, the preloader doesn't work. I put both swf files in the same folder.

At the moment, I am loading an external SWF file into my movie. The swf file contains a large FLV video... At the moment, I am using the code below, and the video is being loaded into a movie clip with the label "vid1"
_root.vid1.loadMovie("womanonbike4.swf");
The video loads fine. However, because it is such a large video, there is a delay. Can I PRELOAD the video during the main movie's Preloader?
So, my main movie starts, a preloader loads the entire main movie AND the external SWF file (womanonbike4.swf). Then, when the movie gets to the part of the main movie, where the external file is loaded, it will just play!

i am using this preloader to load load external swf files in my main.swf. it works great but it has a small issue regarding loading timing. when it gets to 100% and loads the external swf file the swf file as i suspect is loaded a little bit earlier than the % and when it shows up its already playing the 10th frame instead of the first frame. the code is below....
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha<100) {

why the preloader script below might not be working correctly in all browsers? It definitely loads the files properly, but the progress bar does not show in firefox. It just shows a blank screen until the files are 100% loaded, then the enter site logo appears.
I have tried the following things:
1. Using relative vs absolute file paths for the external swfs makes no difference to the behaviour.
2. Changed publish settings to export AS classes in other than the first frame - didn't have any anyway. No change.
3. Unchecked "export in first frame" for absolutely everything. Tried both checking and unchecking this for the actual loader_mc. No change.
I'd post my fla instead of code, but I'm using Flash 8 and can't save any earlier than MX2004 and people don't really seem to look at them that much when I post them. If anyone would like to see, I will upload.

my preloader starts at 55 percent. this is because the first frame (if i can trust the bandwidth-profiler) has a size of 32 kb. i think this is strange, because the b-profiler also tells me the film has a total size of 35 kb. after the first preloader frames are some small files with transitions only, and then there is the main frame, which has a size of 18 kb my preloaderframe only contains a small bar and a dynamic textfield, just like the tutorial says... i ve already searched the forums, i found that quite many people have the same problem, but i didnt find any solution... i do not load any swfs dynamically. the only thing i can imagine that could cause that problem is the embed font which i use for the dynamic textfield in the preloader. is that possible?

I used the 'Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files' Tutorial from the tutorials section
here is a link [URL] and have to say, I learned soooo much from it, and incorporated it into my website [URL]. How to put a percentage preloader for each of the sections when they load. The heavier the .swf file you are loading, the longer it takes, and I've gotten comments about this saying they would like to know how long they have to wait until they see something.

i am currently using this script to run through an array:
swfArray = new Array("images/indep/1.jpg", "images/indep/2.jpg", "images/indep/3.jpg", "images/indep/4.jpg", "images/indep/5.jpg", "images/indep/6.jpg", "images/indep/7.jpg", "images/indep/8.jpg", "images/indep/9.jpg", "images/indep/10.jpg", "images/indep/11.jpg", "images/indep/12.jpg", "images/indep/13.jpg");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("target1",2);
[code]...
is there a way i can add my current preloader to the array script so i pull in jpgs instead of swf files?
