I'm having an issue with my preloader - After it's finished loading, most of the time it goes on to the rest of the content fine. But occasionally, it goes straight to a blank page.
[URL]
It doesn't seem to happen on every browser. Refreshing the website, it happens maybe 1 out of every 5 times it's refreshed. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's driving me insane.
I have an FLA file with two frames. On the first frame I have nothing but a textfield and some code to do the preloading. After it is done preloading it does gotoAndStop(2)
On frame 1 I have:
stop();
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
//Import the required assets
import flash.display.*;[code]....
In my publisher settings I have export to frame 2. My problem is that the preloader won't display until 100%.
P.S. For testing I put a large image file on the stage in frame 2 and the result is the same.
I have used this method before to make a preloader. But this time for some reason the screen is blank until the movie is finished loading. The bandwidth profiler says I am on frame 0.
[Code]...
I have been comparing this to another project (that uses the same code)and it loads fine in Simulate Download and BWProfiler says frame 1 while loading. There are no differences in the Public Settings, or any other settings I can see...
I have a small problem with a preloader in Flash MX. It seems to become stuck at "frame 0" instead of showing the preload bar, etc...and I didn't know there was a "frame 0"? When I test it with "show streaming", the screen is blank and the preloader doesn't show, then, when the movie is done loading, the preloader flashes up briefly. I have 2 frames on my main timeline. Frame 1 is the preloader, and frame 2 contains a clip which constitutes the main movie. Frame 2 has stop() and both are labelled correctly i.e. when the movie is finished loading gotoAndPlay("movie") (frame 2) is executed.
View 3 Replieswhen the user go to my app page and the swf is downloaded I'm using session = new FacebookSessionUtil( this.API_KEY, this.SECRET_KEY, this.scope.loaderInfo );session.login();... then the system open a new window showing the login form.My question is How can I prevent it? There are some way to log users from my swf?possible solution I can think of: login via PHP, and pass via FlashVars the session ID obteined by PHP, then start a session inside my SWF movie.
View 3 RepliesI'm making a bracket for march madness. i have everything almost finished except I want people to be able to be able to print out their team picks.I'm able to print a page but it is blank.What I have on the stage:1. A button for people to press and print out their results. (instance name: print_btn)2. A movie clip that is on the stage that is the size of the stage as a reference as to what to print. (instance name: print_mc).3. An input text field for people to type in their team.

I have a flex 3.2 project (AS3) that causes Firefox to display a blank page a few moments before the .swf file is loaded and I have no idea why.
I am using swfobject2 to load the swf file, but this also happens without it using just object/embed tags.I am testing on localhost with disabled cache in Firefox, although it sometimes also occurs with the cache enabled. The size of the swf file is about 250kB and uses RSL for the framework. I also tested with other file sizes (see below).[code]...
I have a looped sound and some components in my main movie (scroll bar) which for some reason is really bogging down my swf and causing the preloader bar not to show up until like 46% or something ridiculous.
So I am trying to solve the problem by having a preloader swf as suggested by Kode in this thread. However, now all my targeting is messed up in my main movie. Everything that was _root has to change but I can't tell what to load it into. I tried using _parent, _parent._parent, _root.container_mc (which is a blank movie clip created in the preloader swf that main is loaded into after the preloader is 100%) and others but nothing works. Even the simple looped sound which was originally just _root.backsound.start(0,999) can't be targeted. how to target things on my main stage based on the preloader swf?
I need the first page to load blank (just a transparent background would do) but at the moment it's loading the first page of text. I want the text to appear when I hit the home button (named: mc.menuBtn1_btn). I'm having a little problem with the following code. I want the buttons to slide in on the x from left to right and then settle in position, with no text on screen. Then, when I hit the home button, the home page appears, followed by all the other buttons in the menu I decide to click.

My new website is carolineofbrunswick (dot) co (dot) uk. As you can see, there's a ton of blank space off to the right of the pages, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
It's caused by the Flash objects in the right-hand column. Changing the width attributes on those Flash objects just causes them to not appear at all, though the blank space still exists.
I am working in flash and php.. I want to write a text file from flash via php. The thing is when I click on button it rites and redirects to another page. I have stopped the re-direction. 2ndly I want that instead of on click of button I want the variables to be passed to php and write a text file when a frame is loaded. Its basically a gallery, where images are loaded one after another. I want that when one image is loaded via xml. It should write a text file with Hit = 1, so that I know that the image is viewed. All things is working fine, except when I use GetURl on loading the image a new window opens( blank) and my flash file goes off.. Is there any way to stop a blank page opening.

View 2 Repliesfrom time to time I get feedback from my web portal customers that they cannot see Flash component on the page - instead there's a blank white region. When it happens I instruct them to clear browser cache, and it solves the issue. Is there any way to handle this differently, using HTTP headers etc.
View 1 RepliesI have a little Flash intro SWF i prepared and handed off to a friend who is implementing my intro animation into an HTML site.... The problem is that once the SWF (intro) finishes, there is a short gap (blank white page) before the actual HTML site loads. Is there a way around this? Is this something i need to code on my side (AS3) or is this a problem for my HTML/javascript buddy to figure out......or both.
View 3 RepliesI've created a product registration form for my website and the basics of it work fine, ie when I click submit the info successfully gets e-mailed to me. I'd like to expand the functionality of it, however. As is, I get an e-mail regardless if any of the fields are filled in or not. I'd like for users to be directed to an error page when the e-mail field is blank and a thank you page otherwise. How would I do this? I imagine it can either be done directly in flash or would the php instruct the browser to navigate to the error or thank you page? Key is I don't want the form to be submitted if the email is blank.

I have a .swf with my animation. Then I have another .swf that contains my preloader. I haven't used preloaders before. I usually just publish my .fla to an html page and upload to my website. But if I have a preloader (another .swf), how would I go about setting that up on an html page?
View 2 RepliesEverything was going great with the advanced buttons and external page transitions.. But when I add a preloader the external pages no longer load.[code]I'm assuming its something here.. Like I need to tell it something like its off the _root. now because of the preloader being on a sense before.[code]
View 1 Repliesim trying to get some symbols and text on my preloader page, but when i test the actual loading nothing comes up, unless i remove all the symbols and the text, then it works fine.
View 1 Repliesi downloaded a preloader from flashkit. works great on one of my movies, but on another one, it dont stops on the preloader frame. i dont understand cause it should go to the next scene when 100% is loaded but it just shows a black page.i dont understand cause the preloader scene is identical and it just sends you to scene 1 when fully loaded..
View 3 RepliesI have a site at [url]... with flash content on the home page. The preloader works fine the first time you load the page, but if you click any link on the page, and then hit "back" in Internet Explorer to get back to the home page, the preloader shows stuck at 100%.
The movie file has 2 frames. The 1st for the preloader, and the 2nd for the content. Here's the code for my preloader[code]...
my preloader is working when its first run, but it doesn't go to the 2nd frame if the page is refreshed. (Its for a swf that has about 9,000 frames but I don't think thats the issue)
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
mctotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
mcloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();

I don't get exactly how they do the whole preloader animation on: http://www.flashlevel.com/indexv4.html
every time i visit the page the whole preloader animation runs for 0 till 100. also if it is in your cache.
they use 20 stripes to load so (5 percent means 1 stripe!) but how can you animate your preloader if youre preloader does'nt always runs smoothly from 1 till 100?
[CS3 AS2]. I'm having trouble preloading a site I'm working on. I think I'm doing it correctly but the preloader page dosen't show up until its done loading. Then jumps straight to the 2nd frame because its loaded. I'm just doing a simple animation on frame 1 (as the preloader anim.) then when its finished loading, goToAndPlay frame 2.
Code:
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
I have a preloader that works fine, but when I reload the Internet explorer page with F5, it hangs, it basically stays there... keeps looping, but does not move to next scene.If I close the IE window and relaunch or if I clear cache it works fien again.Thsi is the AS3 code I am using:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
stop();
root.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PRO GRESS, loadProgress);

I'm constructing a website in flash, and on each page of the website I have a dymanic text field pulling data from a .txt file for that page, (the news page has a dymanic text field called "newsText" which pulls data from "news.txt" for example) The website im working on is here: [URL] If you have a slower internet connection, whenever you click on the link to a new page, a small white square will appear in the corner before the content has fully loaded, this white square is a result of the scrollbar being disabled due to the content not being loaded yet (and thus having nothing to define wether or not it should need to scroll)
as the website grows in content this will become more and more of a problem. My actionscript ability is really limited. So whats the simplest way I can add a preloader to the page to load the content of the .txt file before displaying it?
I have a .fla that has a preloader on frame one and the rest of the file on frames 2 thru 55. The preloader code is the one that comes in Flash cs5's sample files. there is a movie clip with the instance name lbar and text with the name lpc. here is the code
stop();
import flash.display.*;
this.stop

It works fine the first time people are on my site but when the page is refreshed or is gone back to sometimes the loader bar is just stuck and doesnt load.
I have a problem with a preloader on a slideshow. The preloader works perfectly the first time the slideshow is loaded but if you move to another frame and then return the loader bar loads in the top left hand corner of the stage and does not function, it just duplicates every time you navigate back to the page.

I get is a blank page with "Flash XML Galleries" written on the top. With Opera (my usual browser) and I.E. I manage to load the front page, even manage to navigate by clicking on the arrows, that is with extreme lag with Opera but it seems okay with I.E. (it still lags a bit but it's bearable).So I seem to be forced to use I.E. Did I mentioned that I hate I.E.? That crap was programmed by monkeys. And not EA's monkeys but real untrained ones! EA's ones at least know how to ride bicycles while wearing a clown costume.When there'll be download links we'll have to click on the pics to get them?
