So I'm trying to create a preloader that uses an image as the loading bar. I have long image, somewhere around 6x1, and I would like it to load from left to right. I previously used a tutorial for create a general loading bar which used the scaleX to load. However, that won't work well for the image, as it starts squashed and only looks fine at 100%. [URL]

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loaderF);

I am having trouble getting my preloader to run. I am loading images via XML into a scrollPane, when I click on an image I call the function addRoom. The images are taking longer to load than I expected so I wanted to add a preloader. My image is loading but I can't see the preloader.

I'm making my portfolio site. I would like to make a preloader in after effects(100 frames). Since I don't know much about actionscript I was wondering if it is possible to load a new frame each percent? It should load my main.swf and then open it. So i don't want it jump to frame 2. Might there be any other ways to do achieve this, or is it the way to go?From what i understand this should not be much of a code...
View 2 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.
I'm trying to create a preloaded that reveals an image. Example of what I mean is: when 10% is loaded 10% of the image is visible when 50% is loaded 50% is visible.
View 1 RepliesI have a preloader on the first frame. It works great, with no problems and it's loading images from a directory. I would like to add to it an image counter, not only the bytes that are loading.
Actionscript Code:
stop();
// array of your movieclips$
mcs = ["page_1.jpg", "page_2.jpg", "page_3.jpg", "page_4.jpg", "page_5.jpg", "page_6.jpg", "page_7.jpg", "page_8.jpg", "page_9.jpg", "page_10.jpg", "page_11.jpg", "page_12.jpg", "page_13.jpg", "page_14.jpg", "page_15.jpg", "page_16.jpg", "page_17.jpg", "page_18.jpg", "page_19.jpg", "page_20.jpg",

So, basically I would like to add another dynamic text box in which - as the images are loaded - I would like to have a counter for the images.

I am trying to add an alpha tween to my UILoader that is linked to a folder of images so that they fade between images when you click on the "next" or "prev" buttons, as well as a preloader status for each image as it loads in (although that is less important, as most connections load in the images fast enough, but perhaps a preloader for the initial image would be good)... Here is what I have, as of now everything is set up to work without a tween or preloader...

My portfolio is a combination of elements from Kirupa's gallery and my own.The portfolio works fine but the loader just doesn't work correctly. It can be tested at URL...In Firefox the loadbar flashes once(which it shouldn't do) and the dynamic text box displays a NaN% and then 100% so something isn't being defined correctly. In IE 6.5 however there is no NaN% displayed, the preload bar flashes once and then works fine. I don't know why there would be a difference between browsers.Please take a look at the code below and let me know why the files being loaded into the picture container aren't correctly preloading. It's been a week of working on this endless portfolio and I just want it to be over.[code]
