I have preloader.swf in html (as3) that loads 1.swf (as2) which is my main page, the problem appears when it is in half way of preloading - 1.swf is getting started, it runs several frames, stops and it waits until preloader loads to 100%. I want 1.swf to be started when preloader reaches 100% not earlier.
Code:
preloader.scaleX = 0;
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("1.swf"));
[Code].....
I would be nearly done with this project if it wasnt for this teetheing problem.The preloader animation is a spinning 3D logo which must be seen at least up to the first rotation otherwise the logo get all uggly and that's unacettable for a company logo.How do I tell the 3Dlogo_mc to play till the end even if the percentage has reached 100% and only than go to frame 5?[code]
View 3 Repliesi visited the site [URL] its really attractive, i have doubt how they are loading external swf so fast? and its also not chaging the URL address also, How did hide the SWF from decompiler??
View 14 RepliesUsing AS3 here - [URL]. I've got lots of externally loaded videos on this site most of which are XML driven. The "SoundMixer.stopAll();" works as it should, basically. I include it on each destination frame. If you click the "Jump Creative" entry point a video is set to auto-load and play. Now try clicking away on News while the video is loading. If the user clicks away while the video is loading, the audio will kick in after navigating away and after it has loaded.
View 12 RepliesI'm having a hell of a time optimizing my loading sequence for a gallery site I'm working on. This is the way it works:
1. I load and parse an XML containing the URLs to the thumbs and large versions of the photos. - This step is fast and works the way I want.
2. I load the thumbnails in sequence jumping back and forth between two functions - one initiating loading of a thumb, and the other the event handler for that particular thumb which iterates a value, and then calls the initiating function again. I suspect this is where the major slow down happens.
3. When the iterating value has reached the same number as the number of URLs to load, the class dispatches a complete event, and all is well - except so much time has passed that no one will ever have waited to see the content ...

i can do a preloader, that's no problem, but i'm wondering how they have it on this site where the current loaded clip stays there until the new clip slides over it? is it loading into levels? how would you unload the mc underneath?

View 4 RepliesI am Developing a flash website.It has lots of images in various pages.Is this possible to load all the images at the preloading time itself as it wont take much time while showing those images. Can I have a empty movieclip on stage with visible false. and using a for loop can I load all the images into that?
View 1 RepliesI've got a flash site where most of the content is loaded with external swf's. Instead of creating a holder, I create a "container" and load the movie onto it. Here's the code for that:
Code: Select all_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("swf/print_pfsads.swf", "container");
container._x = 200;
container._y = 150 ;
How do I make a preloader for this? Every tut I see you have to have a physical empty movie clip called "holder_mc" in order to preload. Is there a way, or should I just physically make a "holder"? It'll be a giant pain for me to redo all of this so I'd prefer to know if there's a way of preloading...
The flash portion of my site is just the navigation bar. here is a link so you can see what it looks like for an easier time helping solve my problem: As you can see text loads into dynamic text boxes when the user rolls his/her mouse over that little upright rectagle, there will be many of those rectangles once i have my site done but for now, im just testing things out.
here is the current code applied to my Rectangle Nav Button:
// This is the state where rollover text displays in those beveled boxes
on (rollOver) {
ordernum = "0001";
title = "Change is the only constant - 1600x1200";
[code].....
What this code does is when the user rolls his/her mouse over, text loads into the dynamic text boxes, and when the user releases his/her mouse on the button the jpg "Ug.jpg" loads. However this is not the effect i am after. I want to have a preloader off to the side somewhere on the flash portion of my site, and when the user mouse overs a nav bar button, the text in the dynamic text boxes gets lighter, and when the user rolls his/her mouse out, the text goes back to normal. I also want it so when the User Releases on a nav bar button the pre-loader off to the side loads the image, sound, or movie and then that image/ sound/ movie displays in a HTML portion of my site right below the Flash portion.
Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();

In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.
View 5 RepliesGot a 31fps .swf that when I play it in Flash from Test Movie plays at the proper speed. However, when I test it in a browser, the .swf plays about twice as fast. The movie does load a H.264 .m4v video at frame one so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Does anyone know of a way I can force the .swf to play at 31 fps?

I encoded an AVI w/ Media Encoder and dropped the FLV into a Flash playback component.In my compiled SWF, the video plays in hyperspeed (like it has a really fast framerate), but the audio plays normally.It seems like an encoding issue, but could it be something in Flash?I'm guessing there's some setting mismatch -- different bitrate, framerate, dimensions?[code]...
View 5 RepliesI seem to be having a problem with removeMovieClip.In my little ol' game I've been working on, I have a big problem. The removeMovieClip command only works half of the time. When using the Desert Eagle, a slow-firing weapon, both bullet shells and bullets are duplicated and used properly, and remove themselves when their time has come as programmed. But when using an automatic weapon... it seems to be duplicated shells and bullets so fast that they don't remove themselves properly!
How it works: Let's take the bullet shells, for example. The bullet shells are created and run a bunch of scripts to fall realistically. Once they hit the ground they run an animation which makes a little sound, makes 'em bounce off the floor a bit then stay still for 5 seconds. After those 5 seconds, they're removed. It's that simple, yet it doesn't work.
I hate having to show everybody my stuff every time there's a bug but I trust you guys with my problems (this project is mostly for experience anyways). Try using the Pistol (1) and you'll see it working fine. Then try using the M4A1 (2) or the Steyr AUG (3) and press down on the mouse button for automatic mode. Those bullet shells won't dissapear. Warning: DO NOT aim at the box. I'm also having a problem removing those bullets, so it bugs when you aim at the box.
Searched around for this one a bit. Kinda sucks that there are a lot of synonyms for HSV.
HSB, HLS, HSL, HSB, HBS, etc.
Basically Hue, Saturation and ( Brightness / Value / Luminosity ).
What I am trying to accomplish is an extremely fast way to convert 24-bit RGB values to 24-bit HSV values. I've tried a few different ways with somewhat unexpected results.
Using a lookup table for every 24-bit color eats tons of memory and is actually slower than calculating the values on-the-fly (doesn't make sense to me).
Here's a partial example of what I currently use:
Code:
package org.peaceoutside.utils
{
public class ColorMath

You don't have to understand anything the problem is into the intro. It is quite simple but I don't really know how to fix it. The problem is the movie in the first page start before it totally loaded so depending of your connection and your cpu in doesn't start at the begin.
I want to fix that.
Here's my structure.
I have a swf which load the "template" which load another swf which load the movie
index.swf (preloader)--->base.swf--->preloader2.swf---->movie.swf
I think that the only thing you need is the code of the preloader
Code:
//code for the preloader and loader element
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
