This is a bit of an odd-ball problem. I've created a website 524 frames long, but am creating the pre-load bar *after* the website is done. I could move all the frames a few over, but this would require remapping all my many, many buttons. What I've done then, is told Frame 1 to go to Frame 525, and put the preloader there. I should note the site works perfectly without the pre-loader, I just want it to be smooth once it makes it online.The following code is being used for the first frame (frame 525) of the pre-loader:
I have a 6 frame .swf that is for some reason jumping to the 3rd frame upon loading. This problem occurs in every browser except IE. I'm using AS2. This is the actionscript for the first frame:
stop(); var SKUName = _root.SKUName; var ProductImage = _root.ProductImage; var ProductPrice = _root.ProductPrice;
I'm doing a very simple interactive screens. The timeline has 5 frames, each one with some MovieClips with "onRelease" events associated and some animations... very simple. I'm publishing it has FP7 & AS2 (mandatory)
Surprisingly everything went fine from start to finnish, even on testing.
But when I was delivering this test version, something weird happened. I have Chrome by default has my browser, and I also tested with Firefox. On these two it works fine. The problem is when you test on IE.
In this browser the SWF skips to the second frame and stops when it loads, acting normal again. I can go back to the first frame and everything looks good.
At the beggining of each frame I have a stop(), and there's no other gotoAndStop events unless on buttons, nothing is triggered by actionscript.
I had the 10.2.159.1 version and upgraded to 11.0.1.152 (the latest)... the problem persists.
Meanwhile a simple timeout seems on 1st frame seems to solve the problem, but I wonder if this is a bug with AS2 on Flash Player specially on IE?
I have a problem with connecting as3 with php. I get the data return from php is wrong. This is my code AS3: var file:String="test.php"; // Define global variable function GetXMLfile(){ var loaderphp:URLLoader=new URLLoader(); var urlRequest1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file); loaderphp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, GetCharInfo); [Code] .....
I am using a content loader through AS3 to load some images and then later pushed into an array. I have pushed my image file paths in to an array (arrayImages). But when the loader loads the images it doesn't load the images based on the order they are listed in the arrayImages, instead they were loaded based on their file sizes. Is there anyway that these can be loaded in the order they were pushed to the array? Below is the code that i use to load the images.
function funcLoadImages() { for (var i:uint=0; i<arrayImages.length; i++) { var ldrImageLoader:Loader=new Loader(); ldrImageLoader.load(new URLRequest(arrayImages[i]));ldrImageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,pushLoadedImagetoAnotherArray); } }
why rapid clicking (moving to another part of the gallery) makes the loader loads the wrong picture?
Here is a simple example:
Code: var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest("gallery.xml"); var xmlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader(req); xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlComplete);
the file loads correctly but the loading screen only flashes up at the end.The only thing being exported in frame 1 is the loader image, and that is extremely small.Is it possible that there's a queue of things being loaded and the loader image is at the bottom of that queue? Since that was one of the last things added to the project
I have an AS2 flash movie that has some labeled frames. On the first frame of a particular scene, I have some code that creates a menu of buttons that I construct from movie clips and vector graphics. The onRelease function of those buttons is assigned deep in some code thusly:
When one of these buttons is clicked, the scene name reports correctly, but the movie goes to a frame 3 frames later than the targeted frame. I know this because I put trace actions on the subsequent frames like this: code: trace('2 after');
I am trying to create a Play Again button on my game. When the game finishes a menu comes up on the screen with a play again button. The menu is created using a class and the button event is created and handled in the actionscript in the current frame. The button event handler makes a call to gotoAndPlay(currentFrame, "scene").
Whenever the button is pressed however it takes me to the next frame, for example if the current frame is 3 it will show frame 4. Usually the button is removed from the stage when the button is clicked but if i disable that and the button remains, you can click on it again and it it will take u to the correct scene, and again will take you to the next scene and back again and so on..
I have an issue where I am watching the value of: loaderInfo.url and sometimes it returns the url of my file just fine, example "path/myfile.swf and it is all good. Other times it will return path/myotherfile//[[DYNAMIC]]/9I found the following URL that explain it a bit
Basically I have a load of movieclips on one frame, and a load of the same type on the second frame. However, when you're coming from the first frame to the second frame, Flash decides to place the new movieclips in the same position as the old movieclips (from the first frame) rather than where I placed them in Flash.
I vaguely remember seeing something like this before, but I can't for the life of me remember the solution. Any of you guys know what's happening here?
Just a note, it looks as if giving the movieclips instance names stops it - but this isn't really plausible for me as I could have hundreds of movieclips on each frame..
I want to jump to a specific frame in the swf I load using the Loader class. As it is now it goes directly to frame1 in the file, which I dont really want it to do. I'm using Flash CS4
I have a banner as the header on a website. The file is about 150K. I want the banner to load (relatively) instantly (without the animations). My current solution is to take a screenshot of the first frame and create a preloader that just displays the screenshot. A really simple solution to this would be a setting (or something) that just caches the first frame as a bitmap and loads that first, then displays it until the entire file is loaded.
If i add a loader to every frame of my website, will it speed up my initial preloader speed?if anybody can answer it will save me alot of time with trial and error.
What's the most efficient way of putting a basic preloader and XML loader together in the same frame?
Like, what works the best in terms of order of operation? Or if used at the same time should the XML loader have the preloader in the Progress portion or at the on complete portion?
I have wriiten a code on Frame1 to load an image in a MovieCLip(already on Stage). Now that's only visible in Frame1, if i goto some other frame example-5 and use "insert Keyframe" or "Insert Blank Keyframe" it shows me nothing inside the Movie Clip. But when i copy the code from Frame 1 then it shows the image inside at Frame where the code has been copied.
So is it limited to only 1 frame in which ActionCode is there? Or how do i tell that keep displaying image inside the MovieClip.
I have a flash movie. There is a timeline and a frame with some code.The problem is that Flash skips this frame with code sometimes. It does this absolutely randomly. It can loop 100 times and skip it on 101st. It can skip it on 3rd run.I'm using AS3, always put all the code in separate file. But what should one do if he needs to put EventDispatcher into one of the frames, for example? There is no guaranty that the code will be run.
im doing a website and using a flash header. this has some movie clips and it needed a loader. in Firefox it will lock up when clicking from page to page and stop on the full loader bar. im using cs3 master collection and as3 the website is paradisebeergarden.ph this is driving me nuts as it is only doing this in Firefox!
In the first frame of that movieclip, I'm importing an external swf with Loader class,(Using actionscript2 but my main flash page using Actionscript3),It is loading well but when i pass to second frame and return to the first frame again, the Loader doesn't work. (i'm using addChild(); to show external swf)
I have a slide show that works totally fine when it's on my machine, however, once it's published to web, instead of having a smooth transition between External SWFs, it skips and shows white background with loader for a sec.. Not only when it's loading first time, but all the time.Here's the code:
I'm trying to use the tutorial found here: url...for my site. I always thought that this tutorial looked easy and recommended it to many friends. But now that I'm using it myself it seems to jump to 7% and go from there.
I've built a preloader that works fine locally, when downloading files from the web address supplied. But when I post it live, the preloader shows a frame of 100% then shows the image before it has fully loaded. It 'pops' in. The link to the 'faulty' site is [URL]
The preloader code I am using for each quadrant is:
I am a new Flash user (took the lynda.com Essentials training and building a website with Flash). As such, I followed pretty closely the directions I had written down to build a basic website with my bio, contact form, favorite links page. Until I can figure out how to make the pages in my book turn, I don't have any transition included. My website in html is [URL]..
the problem I am having seemed to happen when I added a pre-loader frame to my scene and now I can't get the error to go away even when I delete that slide and code.
I've been loading multiple SWF using the loader class and Frame Labels. I get this error script when clicking my drop down menu buttons: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at ZimIndex7_fla::mcMenu_5/buttonClick()[ZimIndex7_fla.mcMenu_5::frame1: 6]
When my streaming videos start they will buffer and begin to play as normal. However, as soon as the vid starts buffering again a problem arises. Basically what is happening is that Flash is buffering the video to a certain point, but instead of resuming playback from the point where the vid paused it now jumps instantly to the end of the newly buffered area without playing the vid portion in between. Which essentially means that it skips merrily through the video and never stops buffering.
So, this is a copy of another post I made, but I get a sneaking suspicion I put the post in the wrong forum:[URL]..The summary:
The Socket class in flash player sometimes, for some users (across all sorts of OS and Browsers) will not ask for the policy file from port 843 first, but instead will go straight to the port of the outgoing request, which in this case is our game server, who doesn't really understand the request.
In every case so far the user *is* using the latest version of flash too, so it's not an issue without outdated policy methods, which would have been my first guess.For most people it works just fine, but I posted a log in the thread for one of the non-working players. It's pretty mysterious, and I haven't found a fix yet... though I'm going to experiment with some work arounds.

I am pretty new to scripting and Flash and streaming vid is proving a massive headache at the mo. Have bashed through most of my problems but this one has got me stumped, scripting skills not up to the task. When my streaming videos start they will buffer and begin to play as normal.

I am using mpg4 (.mov) with H264 compression and keyframes at 1 sec intervals.
Users are also given a set of thumbnails for extra feedback and navigation (here's what I currently have: As you can see, I have a button on my main stage named "portfolio". It has a simple "on (release)" function that goes to frame 2 (frame 2 is when my artwork portfolio displays).I have some code placed on frame 2, in a separate "actions" layer(very simple stuff):
