I am attempting to monitor the progress of an image scroller I've built and all of the images (thumbs) load separately. What would be the best way of figuring out what the total progress of the images that are loading? I was thinking it would be cool to use a generic loader and apply it to a function such as
myScroller.loadImages();
i have build a flash project where most of the content externally loads in to the main movie. for each chapter i made a "Loader" component, and a "progressBar" connected to the "Loader". during building i was re checking that all is working well (test movie with "simulate download"). then, i was uploading it to my server and when i view it on "fireFox", or "Safari" , it all working. but, when trying to view it on "IE", i never see the "progressBar" and, all the Actions that relate to the "on (complete) {}" never happens.
View 3 RepliesI have a Flex3 application which has to be capable of uploading multiple files and monitoring each files individual progress using a label NOT a progress bar.
My problem is that a generic progress handler for the uploads has no way (that I know of) of indicating WHICH upload it is that is progressing. I know that a file name is available to check but in the case of this app the file name might be the same for multiple uploads.
My question: With a generic progress handler how does one differentiate between 2 multiple uploads with the same file name?
I'm trying to track the progress of a file upload in AS3, and I'm getting strange behavior. When I select a file and upload it, the progress is instantaneously 100% even if the file is 10 or more megabytes, but it's not finished. The onComplete event is fired about 30 second to a few minutes later (depending on file size) when the file has really finished uploading. I've tested this locally and on the server, the behaviour is the same. Has anyone else experienced this? Very frustrating ...
Otherwise, the file is uploading fine. The code is simple:
myFileReference.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onUploadProgress);
function onUploadProgress(e:ProgressEvent) {
var pctDone:Number = (e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal) * 100;
trace(pctDone);
}

Everything runs fine except the progress bar doesn't seem to be monitoring the FOB movieclip.
I'm having quite a hard time with trying to use the UILoader& Progress Bar components together, to make my thumbnails &main images load. The slideshow consists of 6 thumbs, each loadedinto a UILoader component, and held within a movieclip calledthumbs_mc, which is animated to appear as if its moving up a path(starts really small, and enlarges toward the user). I've foundthat the animation will not work unless the UILoader components arecontained inside of a movieclip.What I'm trying and failing to do is monitor the loading of the thumbs, so that they won't start movingdown the path until they finish loading. So far, what happens whentesting live is that the thumbs skip the animation and just appearin their end positions. I can't seem to get the Progress Bar andthe UILoaders inside the thumbs_mc clip to work together.
Once I've figured out how to do this, the next step would beto load with UILoaders and the Progress Bar each of the largeversions of the images, when the thumbs are clicked. But for themeantime, if I can figure out the thumbs, I can probably figure outhow to apply the same technology to the loading of the main images.
I am a novice to flex and I am trying to develop an application for uploading multiple image file along with progressbar for each upload. The datagrid holds the name of the file and the progressbar for each file when we select and add a file. When there is progress in file upload, it should be reflected in the progressbar as well. I have used filerefencelist to hold the collection of files and when i try to upload files it generates error "Null object"
My code :
private var initDG : ArrayCollection;
private var _arrUploadFiles:Array = new Array();
private var currentFile:FileReference;
private var currentFileIndex:Number = 0;
private var uploadErrors:Array = new Array();

My application has a couple of modules which am loading as thus in my application.
<local:moduleloader url="Module1.swf" id="modulel" />
<local:moduleloader url="Module2.swf" id="module2" />
Then while loading each module I am showing the progress bar. The progress bar shows but does not go away. It remains above the whole frame of the application. The module loader is as follows:(Also note that in Flex 3 the same works, but am using Flex 4 and in Fx 4 it does not)
<mx:ModuleLoader xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

It looks like strange occurance - te progressbar whcih shows the progress of loading the flex application all of the sudden dissappear.
View 1 RepliesI have a loop that parses and works on a lot of data and it takes a long time. While it works away, the screen is blank and im wondering if there is a way to put a loader or counter up?
Since it does a finite amount of work, I thought I could just update the progress from within the loop but further readings has revealed that it wasn't possible.
Does Flash Builder have any tool for detailed memory monitoring? When my program is run for a long time it gets slower, and I would like to identify the problem. When I press ctrl-alt-del to check my program memory it is increasing, but I am not able find which part of program is responsible for this increase.

Is it possible to load an image(jpg, png, gif) from another domain and manipulate the pixels? I guess when the image is downloaded/copied it is in my domain.
Using the Loader and add the content to an Image component I get an error in my debugger. I guess there are some cross domain polices at work here.
But I need to be more sure how this works before moving on. I guess, if it is not possible to load the image directly I could create a local proxy.

I've created a progress bar animation to load an external SWF file as described in this document: [URL] The problem is, the SWF file i want to load is a magazine exported from Indesign, so I want it to display one page (frame) at a time (you can go to the next page using the navigation buttons provided). When I use the method mentioned above the clip loads, but then it plays... so how can i make it stop at the first frame?

I'm trying to make it so that the first 99 frames of a 198 frame preloader run even when the swf is loaded into the cache. I have the script looping the second 99 frames of the preloader while the movie is loading, but when it's already loaded, I only want the first 99. Right now, when the movie is already loaded, I'm only able to skip over the preloader altogether and go right to the movie OR I can see a loop that starts at the beginning of the preloader and then cycles through the second 99 frames indefinitely and never goes on to the movie that's loaded. At first I was using two separate movie clips, one for the first 99 frames and another for the second 99, but since that didn't work, I combined the files to see if that would work, but it didn't. I've tried so many adjustments, I've run out of ideas. Is it even possible to use a conditional with the onComplete function that's supposed to run when the loading is done, so that onComplete only happens if the current frame of the preloader is greater than 99?
Here's my script for frame 1 of my movie. The movie proper starts on frame 2, and preloader is the 198 frame movie clip in the library. The result of this script is an endless cycling of the preloader even when the movie's loaded.
stop();
preloader.play();
function everyFrame(event:Event):void

Okay I made a photo Gallery using a Loader in the Components tab. I'm making the different frames load different pics (changing the Content Path of the Loader on each frame) so now when I go to my gallery after uploading it to the web then it takes a while to load the pics...so what i want is just to show the people that the photo is loading and that its not nothing on the gallery.
View 3 RepliesI have a swf called "main.swf". Here I am using movieClipLoader to load another swf called "news.swf". In "news.swf" I'm loading several images using movieClipLoader.
On the "main.swf" I want the loading progress for the ENTIRE "news.swf", including the loading progress for the images.
If I use onLoadProgress for "main.swf" while loading "news.swf", it will reach 100% before the images has started loading. I want the image loading to be included in the progress.
I have a situation where I'm using the FLVPlayback component and it starts off blank, meaning that it shows the video player skin but doesn't load a movie until prompted to do so. However, the progress bar in the skin is acting as if a movie is being loaded. I'd like to make it invisible or stop it until I need it, but I can't seem to target it. I've tried the following with no success.[code]
