Professional :: Wait Until SWF Completely Loaded

Jan 10, 2010

I am trying to load several swf files into various containers. In one scene I have used the following:
createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 1);loadMovie("MC.swf", "container1");

And I want to wait for it to load complete before moving to the next scene and doing the following one...
createEmptyMovieClip("container2", 2);loadMovie("MC2.swf", "container2");

Actionscript 2 :: Get 2 Banners To Wait Until Both Are Loaded?

Jul 21, 2011

I have two Flash banner ads, built in CS5.5, using AS2, that will be placed on a page together and appear to interact with each other when played at the same time. Similar to this: [URL]..

The problem is that they might not load at the same time. How can I get each banner to check that the other has finished loading before playing?

I had read that LocalConnection was the way to do this, but I haven't been able to find anything that explains it well.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Wait Until Movieclip Has Loaded Before {do This}?

Feb 3, 2009

essentially, I'm loading some clips dynamically via xml offstage...they then pan to the center of the screen. Pretty easy, except the files (about 100k+) aren't loading fast enough, and they're showing up halfway through the tweenYes, I know, I need to wait until the clip has loaded...but how? I've tried onLoad(success), getBytesLoaded() ==getBytesTotal() etc...but I can't so much as get the file size of the file at the end of the xml branch. Before I go any farther, here's the code:

button.onPress = function() {
var itsloading = _root.gallcon.gal.attachMovie("loader_circ", "loading", 60);
itsloading._x = 380;

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Wait Until Data Is Loaded

May 21, 2009

I have two classes: Level, which dictates a tile-based level, and MapLoader, which loads a text file on my local machine.I am calling a load function through Level asking MapLoader to load, but when I try to parse the data, MapLoader isn't done with the load.I've tried putting the load in a while loop, but it just freezes. Here's the MapLoader and the function in Level.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloaders Don't Work Until The Swf Is Completely Loaded?

Dec 11, 2009

I've looked around and tried various examples that I've seen, but none of them seem to work with "simulate download".It doesn't seem like the swf does anything before it's completely loaded. It doesn't even display the background, just plain white.It also doesn't execute any code, so the event listeners I've seen used for preloaders don't work until the swf is completely loaded.Do I need to somehow designate a section of code to execute before the swf is fully loaded? How do I do that?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parts Of The Parent Movie Not Completely Loaded?

Nov 8, 2010

I have been getting errors when i try and make a call or get data from something on the main stage (like a volume slider) from an external class.

I have flash gallery with an mp3 component. The MP3 component features a volume slider movie clip that i manually put on the stage.

When i try and reference this from a file that is not the main as3 file it comes back as not being defined unless i set a small timer to kind of put my external class to sleep, then reference the slider.

Is there a way to fire off an event when all the components on the main stage are fully loaded?

As3 :: Flash - Wait Until Image Loaded On Button Click

May 6, 2011

I have a slideshow that loads image files with the BulkLoader class from here. When the first image is loaded completely, it gets added to a MovieClip container to add it to the stage.. and it gets displayed fullscreen, but only if a button is clicked:

fullScreenButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showFull);
function showFull(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addChild(mcSlideHolder);

[Code]....

This works fine unless the fullScreenButton is clicked before the image is loaded completely, then of course nothing is visible. How do I get button click event that calls showFull() to wait until the image is loaded/added to the container or how can I add it again? What is a possible/the best approach?

I tried dispatching a custom event "firstImgAdd" that adds the image again to the container when the fullScreenButton is clicked, as well as with a try/catch block or even a simple if condition but none of them worked, meaning the image does not get added to the container after it has finished loading when the button is clicked too early.

Flash - LoadVars Doesn't Wait Until Data Is Loaded

Jun 8, 2009

variable = 0;
function change() {
variable = 1;
}

[code]....

The problem is that it executes #Second before #First, which means that the object is not fullly loaded but the code continues nonetheless. Is there a way handle this? I have tried using a while loop, but this is ugly and makes flash crash. Is there any decent way to handle this, does it have to do with better code structure/program flow or is there a technical way to make it wait? Also note: This code is executed on the server side, which means there are no frames involved.

UPDATE:When projects get bigger, this gets very ugly, especially when you are retrieving mulitple things from a server, you have to use very deep nesting, you have to keep repeating the same code, example for buying a serial:

a.onload() {
if(moneyAmount > 10){
b.onload(pay) {

ActionScript 1/2 :: Preloader Doesn't Load Until File Is Completely Loaded

Mar 7, 2012

So I am having a problem with the flash file at this site: [URL]
 
Everything is working fine, except for the preloader, which only seems to load after the entire file is 100% loaded, which leaves people who visit the site staring at a black screen for quite some time... The code on the preloader frames is as follows:
 
frame 1 (which has the background for the preloader/ actual load bar etc}
var percent:Number = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/ getBytesTotal()*100);
textBox.text = percent + "%";
textBox._alpha = 80;

[Code]....

Also, if you want to check out the actual program just click when you get to the main screen and click to create new shape (mouse x and y change opacity and speed respectivly) I'm using actionscript 2

Flex :: Proper Method To Stop Loading A Module Before It Has Completely Loaded?

Jun 17, 2010

I seem to recall that Loader.unload() could once be used to stop loading a swf before it had finished loading. I can no longer find documentation or the blog where I read this. Perhaps it was an unofficial feature. Anyhow, IModuleInfo, returned by ModuleManager.getModule() has an unload() method. If I want to halt loading a Flex Module that is in progress, do I just call iModuleInfo_instance.unload()?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Buffer Bar Doesn't Show Up Until Video Is Completely Loaded

Feb 27, 2011

Ok, so I have tried and tried to figure this out. Of course in the test environment everything works beautifully, but when I test my swf on my site, thats when the sh*t hits the fan.

The problem is my buffer bar wont show up until the video is completly loaded. In flash however, it loads across as the video is downloaded, like it's supposed to.

Go to my site to see what I am talking about. The loader bar appears uder the progress bar, exactly like on youtube. www.blankensteincreations.com

Here is the code that controls it.

Code:
mcVideoControls.mcProgressFill.mcFillGrey.width = nsStream.bytesLoaded * 710 / nsStream.bytesTotal;

Of course that is wrapped in a timer funtion which, I add, works fine.

FLA is attatched as well as the code below so you can see how it works in flash.

Here is my full code:

Code:
const BUFFER_TIME:Number = 8;
const DEFAULT_VOLUME:Number = 0.6;
const DISPLAY_TIMER_UPDATE_DELAY:int = 10;

Professional :: Timeline Completely Disappearing?

Mar 19, 2012

While animating in Flash CS5 I have had all sorts of strange things happen, which never occurred in CS3 or CS4. Most recently, after drawing an image inside a movieclip symbol, I returned to the root timeline to noticed i had lost my entire timeline and every single layer. lot of work lost. All I had was a blank stage and no matter what I tried I could not get it back. The timeline panel was there, just completely empty.Prior to this, whenever I published a .swf to test my animation, i had several frames worth of blank stage before the animation was shown. For instance, my stage colour was a pale green, and all I saw was pale green for a split second. This got progressively worse before the issue mentioned above occurred.Another strange thing is that I get a completely random moviclip play at the end of my .swf. So,

Flash :: Professional - CS5 Completely Buggy - Rebooting 5 Times A Day

Mar 23, 2011

I'm having huge issues with Flash CS5 11.0.2.489 (even to see the version, I had to open the dialog box several times in order to see the version, WTFFF...). I'm working on Mac OS 10.6.6 64 bits. Sometimes Flash freezes (very often) and I have to reboot. Sometimes it goes down on its own.... And when I'm working on my Macboo pro, it just go down 10 or 20 times a day !!!! Sometimes, when I double click on a movieclip and come back to the scene, there is no movieclip left... They have all disappeared. Have to reboot.... And as this F*** software is a piece of ***, I try to save every 5 minutes, but saving takes a loooong time. And in a day, it can be a matter of 1 hour lost..... On the previous versions, I had no real problem.

Flash CS5 is just a pre-alpha version or what? The bug report site should have so much report that mines are surely not read. So I'm here to beg Adobe to do something quickly. This is just not a software made for production.

Professional :: Making A Swf Wait Until The Rest Of The HTML Page Is Ready?

Jul 2, 2010

I have a site with a common SWF embedded at the top of each page, and then regurlar graphic/text HTML content below it.I was anticipating that the SWF might have a bit of a delay for it to load, and that the rest of the page would be appearing pretty much right away... and that DOES happen from time to time.
 
However, the one thing I wasn't expecting, and don't quite understand, is that sometimes the SWF will appear first and even start playing, yet the rest of the page doesn't appear for a second or two, so I end up with this SWF movie floating in black.
 
Not entirely sure what is holding the page back, since most of the graphics are shared/common on each page.  There are some embedded videos (with poster frames, so they shouldn't take too long to load) on some pages, which are probably the culprits.
 
What I don't get (besides how to further optimize the pages), is why the SWF appears and plays, if it is an element within the table that contains all the content of the page.  I thought that tables only display once EVERYTHING in it is loaded... So, why would the SWF appear before the other elements are ready?  I'm assuming the other (non-common) elements are not finished downloading... although I'm starting to suspect that maybe they are, and the delay is something else... like the embedded QT's 'initializing' or something?

Has any one experienced a crash when using "test movie" in Flash CS4 on Windows 7?For me, it started when I began working on an Actionscript 2.0 project. It happens every time I test a movie, then minimize the window.I have tried re-installing Flash, but the problem still remains. The weird thing is, it waits until I minimize the window. No other time.

Professional :: Animation - Trace Path - Changing The Speed Without Completely Rebuilding The Shape

Dec 29, 2011

I am looking to create the appearance of a shape being drawn. I need a few shapes, but for the example think of a simple U. I have tried several different approaches. First, I tried a shape tween at 45 degree increments. That was a wrong approach. Then I tried using After Effects, but the movies lacked flexibility and were laggy. Currently I am building the shapes using two shape tween MCs(an arc that goes 11.25 degrees and a line that goes 21px), and repeating it.

This seems to be working, but is very tedious, and lacks flexibility. i.e. if I decided I want the shape just a bit shorter I have to remove the MC incident from every frame. Also I have no possiblity of changing the speed without completely rebuilding the shape becasue I'm doing a frame by frame animation.

I used the search best of tutorial URL... to build a similar system. The thing is that my xml has much more content and now the search only presents partial results instead of all.

It needs to be updateable by the client (I'll write a form that fills in the xml file from the users input)I need to have a xml file that defines..-number of columns/rows-titles-content in each boxand then the flash that takes that and generates a table from it.Is there any tutorials or source files floating around that do this? There's plenty that talk about in-game scoreboards, but we need to have all the data input from an external file.
