IDE :: Can't Get Preloader To Work - Keeps Coming Back On Itself
Oct 25, 2009
This is probably a completely n00b thing, but I'm trying to get a preloader to work on a gallery I made. I'd already made the gallery, and now as an after though have attempted to add the preloader. As a whole it seems to be working, except the preloader keeps coming back on itself, so I can't actually every get round to seeing to gallery I've made. I think maybe there just needs to be some kind of "stop" action put into the ActionScript within the preloader scene, but to be fair, I really don't know what I'm doing. I've followed a tutorial to the every detail, but still it doens't work. The orginal Flash file can be grabbed here: [URL]

I have a selection menu that I can select multiple items and item names are saved in an array. I also have a deselect button that delete all the items selected. To delete items, I have tried:
var errorSelected:Array = [];
errorSelected.splice(0,errorSelected.length);
I can see them being deleted in trace, but whenever I click on the menu item again, the old list items come back everytime. Do I need something else to completely cleaning it up?

I'm working on a simple MP3 player and am having trouble getting ID3 tags to come back as anything other that "undefined" -- on test MP3 files that *do* have ID3 data. What am I doing wrong?
(I'm not a Flash programmer and the following code is hacked together from a variety of sources... reworked for my purposes... and with some bits created by myself.)
Note that the MP3 file to be played comes out of the URL, but in this test case it's manually set to a local file of shedrivesmecrazy.mp3 (Fine Young Cannibals).
When running this file, the following output is generated:
undefined
undefined
NOT AVAILABLE
NOT AVAILABLE
Code: Select all// Setup sound object
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.setVolume(75);

what happens is I have a key, a door and a health bar and an enemy. the enemy takes off some of my health...I pick up the key and it disapears and is added to my inventory. I then us it to open door then my character can move off the screen to the next frame where there is a castle., but my health bar is full again. when I go back into the previous frame the key is back, the door is closed and I cant pass through it again until I pick up the key.
the only way I have found around this is to make sure the objects are in every frame but that only solves a few problems. one of the problems is my health bar always re-plenishes no matter what when going from frame to frame. and I still cant pass thru the door even though its open.

So I have my function here which sets up the tween for movieClips that have images on them:
[Code]....
This code is done 20 times with different images added to two different movieClips (b0 and b1) that are waiting in the library. So, the glitch is - this function works damn near perfectly except after a while of navigating to other frames and coming back to the frame with this sometimes the b0 wont tween all the way onto the stage and sometimes not at all. And dont worry about the b0 not being described as a variable I have done this outside the button function as I was getting error messages. I have spent almost a week tooling around with this but nothing works I get the same glitches.

I will try to give as much detail as I can. I am creating an CRM application using Flex(Cairngorm 2)/Java/Hibernate. The basic problem I am having is this: I have a Customer class in Java that has an ArrayList of Address classes. I have a Customer class in Flex that has an ArrayCollection of Address classes. When I make the remote object call for a Customer I get back a Customer object in Flex, but the ArrayCollecion objects have a data type of Object instead of Address. If I try to call for a List of Address classes I get the same result. If I try to call for a List of Customer classes I get a list of Customer classes in Flex. Using tomcat 6 with the following jars:

I 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]...

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.

The buttons in the flash movie also link to movie frames in the flash and external html pages. Once movie plays and stops, all links work fine, the links to the anchors and the links to the other html pages, however when I try and link back to the flash movie from an external html page, to specific frames in the flash movie, the html link will link back to flash movie frame fine, however once your back in the flash movie, none of the buttons in the movie work anymore.I have embedded the flash movie in an HTML and published it with anchors,"home, about, events etc.used this code for several buttons in the flash linking to frame anchors in the movie:
///////////////////////////
home_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, handler);
function handler (event:MouseEvent):void

Flash CS5 on Windows 7 I have a problem with a project I am creating. I have created 3 buttons which when clicked open other movieclips for each button. On each of the movieclips that the buttons send them to, all have a back button to return them back to the original view.
This back button works fine apart from once they are back at the original view, the 3 buttons stop working.

I have implemented SWFAddress 2.4, it works perfectly in Chrome and Firefox on Mac. But in Safari 5.0.3 on Mac, the back button doesn't trigger the AddressChangeEvent. Deep linking works on Safari, just the back button doesn't.

I am using Video (actionscript-controlled) component in my videoRecorder swf. What it does is it connects to webcam, record the video. This works fine. The problem comes when playing the flv back.After user stops the recording, I am using the same video component to play back the flv. But, it doesn't work. Checked the url, and its fine.When I use the same flv url in any flv player, the video gets played back. Am I missing something? Or Video (actionscript-controlled) can't handle playback videos?[code]

I designed a website using tips from [URL]. It's a single .swf. Nothing complicated about the as3 script. Mostly gotoAndStop commands to jump around the timeline to the different sections of the site. My question is how to set up the site as individual swfs for each "page" so the back and forward buttons on an internet browser will function. I've seen samples of loading external swfs but it's not clear how to write scripts to jump around various pages for a website.
Here's the website: [URL]

I'm trying to create a preloader for a site I am creating. Originally I was going to make it an internal preloader, but I ran into that issue where the preloader doesn't start until 50% (or more). After searching these forums for a solution to "that" issue, I found it suggested that the best way to fix it is simply do an external preloader instead.
When testing the preloader using the bandwidth editor, I see that the preloader animation isn't starting now until it's at 100%, instead I simply get a white screen. Once it reaches 100% the preloader animation runs through and then...nothing. My main.swf doesn't load. It just stops.
Here is my code:
Code:
var fileToLoad:Loader = new Loader();
var fileURL:String = "testmovie.swf";
var fileRequest: URLRequest = new URLRequest(fileURL);
[code]...
preloader is my movieclip with the animation, and preloader.loading_txt is a textbox inside that mc which displays the % loaded. I wanted to make it so that once the preloader (and its animation) reach 100%, the preloader mc then plays frames 101 - 124 (which are a small transition animation into the main site). Once it reaches 124 it's supposed to call the main.swf to load.

I am trying to get a preloader to work properly. I have it setup so that when the movie gets to frame 19, it returns to frame 1 unless frame 20 is loaded.
I used this same preloader previously and it worked fine.

I have a preloader that works, but I made this website and when I loaded it online I realized I need preloaders in it. But how do I do that? The website is completed, but I guess now I have to go back and put in preloaders on all the pages? I have pages where you click and they load a picture(from an external page) or they load a video clip. How do I put preloaders in there, is there a simple way?

I'm trying to get a preload movie clip (loaderMovieClip_mc) to show up when an image is being pulled from the xml data bank and then turn the visibility to false when the image is done loading. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong any bump in the right direction would be very cool.
Error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at flashIndex6_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I think there is a conflict happening between the unloading of the imageLoader:Loader class:
[Code].....
Not sure if that's the right direction but its the best idea I have at this point.
I have tried commenting out the imageLoader unload code but that didn't resolve the issue.
