Professional :: Preloader For Portfolio - Stutters On All The Images
Jan 11, 2011
I have created a portfolio with flash using action script 2. But when I click on the button going to the portfolio Scene (containing pictures and tweens) it stutters on all the images when they are first clicked on. As the image increases in size, it is a smooth tween until the one from last frame which it stops then flashes on to the final frame. Is there a way I can preload all the images so that this will not happen? Or anything else I could do?

I am trying to create a soundboard and I have all my buttons and stuff, the only thing left is to put the sound files in. However, I have tried adding them to the library and dragging and dropping them over the HIT option like I usually do, but when I export the swf file, the sound file sounds terrible, it crackles and sometimes stutters a bit. I have tried setting these sound files to mp3 and raw in adobe options but with no luck. I am using actionscript 2.0 if that has anything to do with it. Also, I need these files embedded, not just linked.

I have an as3 preloader on the main timeline of my project1.swf It works ok if I test the swf by itself, but when I try to load it into my portfolio file through component loader, the preloader doesn't do anything, it acts as if everything is loaded. What do I need to change to get it to work inside another movie?

I'm making a portfolio using XML and AS3. Loading the XML is all fine, I put images in a loader using a for loop. However, I would like these images to be buttons and set a TextField.alpha at 1 when hovering the image. The problem I'm having here, is whenever I hover an image, all the set textfields will show up. How do I change this? I've been trying to put it into an Array with no result.

i recently started to learn AS3 and i decided to make a portfolio website with it. I am loading the information about the websites i created from an external XML file.Everything its working well but when i load a new picture to the stage the previous picture remains there which in my understanding it shouldn't happen. As i understood from Adobe's AS3 Guide once you create a new instance of a loader, the previous one should be erased.
I've been looking all over the place for a solution but i can't find one that will work. I tried using the .unload class and i tried removeChild as well but it keeps giving me errors.

I'm still an amateur at flash (more precisely, actionscript), how to do a simple gallery with static thumbnails which, when clicked, dynamically load an image into an empty movie clip, fading in and out (using actionscript)? By that I mean, click on a thumbnail, main image fades in, click on another thumbnail, loaded image fades out, image of clicked thumbnail fades in. Is it possible? I have successfully achieved thumbnails that load an image externally using both XML and using the ordinary loadMovie function, opting in the end for the loadMovie function and modifying AnaS' [URL] code (some of his comments are still in there). The reasons being that I'm not particularly concerned if I can't use XML for this, but I do want the images to load externally to save space.
I figure that the thumbnails are small enough in file size for me to afford to put them in, but just in case anyone think that XML is better for the job, I'm also including my XML file. On top of AnaS' code, I have added an if-else statement (lines 13-21) but, as I have said before, I'm an amateur, so I can get my head around the 'if' part of the statement, but haven't figured out the 'else' section (namely, the fade out). From what I have seen (I've been looking for the solution for a long time), most people just settle for fading the image either in or out, but rarely both. If there IS a gallery with both fades, it is usually done professionally and the code is either unavailable or goes over my head.
How to click on a thumbnail and load and unload the image using in and out fades. I have seen something which is almost what I need (both fade in and fade out are present) in the form of Kirupa's XML gallery, but I wanted to make mine just the bare essentials and really simple (i.e., no carousel/sliding effects). I just noticed that there is no tutorial for something like this. Kirupa has two very, very good tutorials (the XML portfolio, which is very simple, and the XML gallery with the slide, which is quite advanced) but not an 'in-between' one, such as the one I'm trying to create. [URL]. I have an empty movie clip ('loader') and three thumbnails ('thumb1', 'thumb2' and 'thumb3') on the stage.
My code:
this.onEnterFrame=function() {
if (loader._alpha <100) {
loader._alpha += 5;
} /*else {
if (loader._alpha > 0) {
loader._alpha -= 5;

I'm new in the flash world. I'm trying to set up my website but I keep on getting errors! I manage to create a loader to load the images of my portfolio, first I couldn't remove the previous image, when I loaded the second one, the first one was still there. Now it seems to disappear when I added the line removeChild(loader1). BUT I still get a message in the output panel:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild() at prueba3_fla::MainTimeline/clickF2()
I don't know if this is going to be a problem in the future or not. I don't have any idea of what this message is talking about

I am currently building myself an online photography portfolio. I want scalable full screen photos. The only problem here is, photos are different sizes and landscape/portrait. This is what I have so far. [URL]. If you resize the browser to a different ratio to the landscape image, you see black margins top and bottom. I want the image to always bleed.
This is what I have used:
ActionScript Code:
//resize image function setImageSize():void {
// Portrait image
if (imageLoader.height>imageLoader.width) {
imageLoader.height=stage.stageHeight-thumbBase.height;
imageLoader.scaleX=imageLoader.scaleY;
[Code] .....
For a portrait image, I want to show the margins so I am happy how it is for portrait.

My company has 50 flv files that we regularly show to clients. I was planning to set up a website that had all 50 videos on it and the client could pick and choose what videos they want to watch by selecting thumbnails. The problem is that our account executives want to be able to choose what videos are available for them to watch, so they can't watch the entire library. I can't be chaning the interface for each client request, so I am thinking the account excutive could select from a list of videos and send them a link that only has those thumbnails of those videos on it.
Any ideas on how this could be accomplished? It is kind of like having an interface for the account executives with a menu of movies, and then a different interface for the client to play the movies chosen for them in the order in which they choose. It would dynamically build according to the account executives selections.

The enclosed image is a snapshot of part of my web page portfolio. At the moment it is placed jpgs into Dreamweaver. When you click on a work example it opens up a new browser window with the work example enlarged (old fashioned way). This is not really a problem but I was wondering if I put my work examples into flash CS4 how do I go about creating the effect of a work example instantly being magnified the moment someone clicks it? Like what happens when you click the enclosed image.
Is this an actionscript job or can this effect be produced without any complex scripting work? Perhaps someone knows a tutorial somewhere for a similar effect in Flash CS4. I would like the work examples to magnify quite large though. My thinking behind this was so people can't steal your work example JPGs so easily (flash portfolios seem to not allow saving of the content)

I'm having an issue with the UiLoader, I think. I am using a UiLoader to show the portfolio section of my website. When I click on portfolio there is nothing there. Brought UiLoader to stage from the component panel> in the component inspector I set the source to Portfolio.swf> Test movie> it works great. In dreamweaver I draged the swf from the folder panel and placed it in a table> uploaded it to the site> go to the site, and there is no portfolio section. See the site here -> [URL]. I noticed when I made changes and uploaded to the web then went to the site I have to delete internet history files to get the swf to reload. What do I do about that? Off the top of my head I thought about changing the swf name everytime I make any changes, but I'm sure there is another way.

Check out the beginning of my site [URL]. Look closely at the flowing dress... it stutters when it tries to loop. However, look at the ripple animation behind the hexagon; it loops just fine. I recall when I worked on the ripple animation that I had a hard time getting it to loop, and that I had to add some action script to it. However, when I look at it, I don't see any action script at all.
I was thinking what I used was
on (complete) {
this.autorewind =true;
this.play();
}
but that doesn't work.
Here is how my files are organized:
FlowingCloth << Movie Symbol, contains a .FLV of the flowing cloth
FlowingDress << Contains FlowingCloth and the Bride graphic
Then FlowingDress is placed on the main stage. Using CS3

This thing is giving me a headache. See code below. The issue here is that my first image preloads OK, but then the second image gets jammed at 25-30% and never loads. The third and forth image preloads OK and the same issue with the fifth image. And sometimes the issue is on the last 4 images.

I'm trying to load multiple preloaders, for some reason the following code only works on one movie clip.
for (var i:int = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
var mc = new MovieClip();
var pre = new PreLoader();[code].....
This only works on the last movieclip created when I need to have each movieclip have it's own preloader.

Would someone be able to direct me in the right direction as to how to go about adding preloaders for images on a rotatong menu.
I am not after any kind of complex animation loader, just simple text that says 'Image Loading'
So I guess to simplify it, it could just be a peace of text that disappears when the image loads in.....am I making any sense?[code]...

I am using images that are fullscreen and resize to fill the window as adjusted. So I want the prelader to also move across the window according to the bytes loaded. At the moment it is moving across the screen but not relevant to bytes loaded, it just zips straight across the screen and then you are left waiting for the image to load with no indication of how far it is away from appearing. Here is the code for the preloader:

I've been working for a little while now trying to make a portfolio site for myself and I'm almost done but I'm having one little issue with preloaders. (There are more things not finished, but they're just things I haven't gotten around to doing, I think).The thing I'm trying to do is create a custom preloader for an image gallery that loads each image.You can see an example on in the 3D Architecture section on the site here:(Yes, I know the main preloader is working fine, I'm talking about the one in the 3D Architecture section.)Here is the code I'm using for that frame:
Code:
//Specific Actions: Frame 5 (3D Architecture) code:
//All code is 3D Architecture specfic.

First of I'm using Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 I'm trying to make a photo gallery for my website. I have the gallery all setup and made and now I need a preloader for loading my images. Right now my gallery is setup like this:
-A list of clickable thumbnails. (20 thumbnails)
-A UILoader
-You click a thumbnail and it loads an external image into the UILoader.
Actionscript: I have an array with 20 images. I have 20 different event listeners for each thumbnail.
The eventlistener looks like this:
thumbs.thumbs1.t1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, loadP1);
The function looks like this:
[Code]....
The UILoader is inside 2 moveclips because of a transition effect I have. The buttons are also 2 movieclips deep because of motion tweens.specific reason.
