Professional :: Implementing A Preloader To Flash Project
Nov 8, 2010
I have made a flash site using CS3.I bought a preloader online but cant get it to work (not getting any responce from the site where I bought it). It should be straight forward. Copying the loader movieclip to the first frame in my timeline and so on. Gon through the instructions several times and is pretty sure I´m not missing anything.Anyway, when publishong I get the following error message:[code]Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported.This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..I do believe the actionscript used in the preloader is v.2 and the project is made in AS3.
I am trying to implement a preloader for loading an swf. I have an swf named 001.swf. I need to create a preloader for loading this swf. So should i create one more swf for loding the 001.swf.
i have an index.fla page and will be about 10 .swf files to load into it, they will be large videos witch need pre loading. I have read lots of threads all over the place and have tryed lots of ways.The simplest way i have found so far works but gives me the error :
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at MethodInfo-8()
after i have loaded the 1st vid intro witch then using a dispatchEvent(new Event("allDone", true));realays the info to the index file and loads the movie but the percent timer stops working and gives the error above. I have the following code
I cant "center" my project, like you can see its "fixed" (yellow lines) in the left side and I cant see "invisible" part of project... (area around the project). how can I move my project so I can see the not-project area around the project. (picture 2).
At the moment situation... (cant see that area around the project) http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1186/68553623.png
I'm pretty new to Flash, and having a few problems with a website I've had to design for my college ICT course.I built the site entirely in Flash, which went perfectly, then went on to build a scrolling image gallery banner for use on a gallery page of the site (assuming that it would be an easy task to chop the banner into the website).When I've tried importing the file to the stage/library it leaves all the images behind (as they are in the library of the first file) as well as the actionscript required to call the images; leaving me with just a new, blank layer.I've also tried copying the actionscript code into the website document and transferring the images from the gallery library to the website library, however, the gallery is written so that the stage is used in its entirety to show only a certain amount of images, meaning that the proportions of the banner are all wrong on the website file.Is there any way to integrate the flash file for the gallery into a confined area of the stage in the website document, or am I going to have to alter my designs so that the gallery goes entirely across the page (put up and shut up style).
Attatched are download links to the two files in question, sorry if they're a little on the large side.
I need to make a preloader for a test project that is very diffirent and a little bit off-beat as it uses script that I have prostetuted from a variety of diffirent files, see (http:[url].....swf might take a while to load as it has no preloader and please note how it does load...), it scrolls the actual content of the site along the x axis in multiple speeds by using the following script 4 times for each layer/speed of content:
The actual files they are pulling are massive in file size and there fore I need to make a preloader that can cach all the content and then start to display the actual 'content/sliders' I dont even have an idea what kind of loader to use for something like this as I have already tried adding a little loading function (what the "clip1" "clip2" etc...) either I am making this to big of an issue and there is a realy simple way of doing this or there is none that will do what I require? does anyone know of a way for me to pre load everything with one preloader simotaniously? If you would like the master .fla (1.25mb)? (does not include content or the other file) please follow this link .
I'm trying to make a preloader for a little flash project that involves re-assembling a load of rectangles to make up a pattern.Idea is that instead of the usual load bar i wanted to make use of this pattern that is relevant to the project and have it rebuild it self with these rectangles flying in from the side. So far I have got the tweening sorted using the tween class and staggered the 42 (yes took a little while, probably an easier way so let me know on that also) rectangles using 'setTimeout' so it releases each 100milliseconds after the one one before it. This probably the wrong way to do it but i wanted to check how it looked and this was the one way i knew how to do it.
I want to make it so that these rectangles fly in a complete the pattern once the loading has finished, but on a fast connection I don't want it to rush the animation but for a slow connection I obviously want it to adjust the release time and maybe even the travel speed to compensate.
I had an idea of maybe working out the percentage loaded divided by 42 and then run an if statement to see if that percentage for that segment had been reached before 100millseconds had passed, if 100 had passed then release the rectangle, if not then hold the rectangle until 100 m/s had passed. Not sure if that is the best way to do but that's why I'm looking for some suggestions from more experienced developers.
have been making a digital portfolio that I plan on putting up as a website. Once before the project has gotten very large (at the time 500megs). Now this originally large project had gotten to the point where it was telling me there wasn't enough memory. What I did to fix this was copy and paste all the frames from each scene into several new projects and then piece those new projects together to remake my complete project.
I am now doing this again but at this point piecing back the last scene of mine is taking up too much memory. I have 4 gigs of memory on a 3.06 GHz intel core 2 duo imac. first off, should this be happening? Should 4 ghz be enough? second, it appears that flash projects tend to compile a lot of baggage; is this true? Thirdly, is there any way I can fix this without buying two more 4 gig memory cards?
I'm currently trying to use a swf file inside my flash project. I have actually found a half solution in that loadMovieNum does what I want, except I want the external .swf to be inside my project, and so it's compiled into the same .swf. This would then mean that the external .swf doesn't need to be present thereafter.
how to convert my curent Flash Professional project into an AIR project.
I've been using Flash Pro to do animations with some minor coding in the frames, and I'm using Flash builder to do the coding. However I realized that my application needs to be able to use the File system, which means I'll need to use AIR's API. However there's no way for me to import AIR's library to my flash builder project

Iam trying to create a preloader for my XML files loading to my project. This tutorail is working fine. but only for one file. I need to create one preloader for all my XML files(6 XML files loading in the first frame.)
I am trying to embed a video file into my flash project and I want to to play till the end and jump to a different frame in the timeline. I tried to emport the video into flash and it says that the file is not supported. Can I not do it or do I need to convert the mpeg file into some sort of fla file?
VB6 developers who have gone in to do maintenance on their applications that call flash.ocx are finding that they can no longer save their projects because of some change that was introduced by Adobe in the release following flash10e.ocx.ork around is given of uninstalling flash and installing any version on or before 100452. Because the applications still run fine until the developer tries to make a change and save the VB6 project, the scope of this problem has probably not been fully realized. For this reason, this issue will likely only gain momentum in the future.
I spent the morning contacting several people at Adobe and I discovered the only way apparently to get support for this issue is to open a "web case". From further research, what I understand a "web case" costs around $200 and with that price there is nothing telling me what comes with a "web case" I mean, if I were to buy one, would the problem be fixed or would they research it and say "I am very sorry but we are not going to fix that". If there is a guarantee that the problem will be fixed, then can Adobe establish a pool where the $200 cost can be shared by everyone who has the issue? That couldn't be more than a buck or two each because if you google this problem "System Error &H80004005 using flash.ocx" you will find about 5 pages of people reporting the problem
I have a flashbuilder project with a big image. The problem is that the default preloader does not load the images/swf's inside the project. Is there a way to preload them?
How to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website [URL] under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them.
I have a video that I've embedded into a project by means of linking it from my server, where it lives (not embedding it into the actual project) and I cant for the life of me find a way to get the video to continually loop when it finishes. Any looping meathod I've found so far using AS3 only loops the basic animations in the movie, not the video.
Can anyone enlighten me on how I can use the Flex mx.charts component in my Flash Project? I am using Flash Professional CS4 Are there any tutourials on the subject.
Is there a way that I can load (or export) Flex/Flash builder project in Flash Professional CS5?As it turns out we got Flash Prof for our team, but it may look like we actually need Flash builder to build lots of UI related stuff..
The Section3.fla file contains the text I need to edit. I notice that the text is visible inside the library:
"/Sprites/sprite 11" file and "/Text/text" 10 file
But when I try to edit the text 10 file I get the message: "This symbol is imported from a Shared Library. If you edit this symbol, it will no longer be imported. Do you want to continue?".
If I click Yes and edit the text and replace the Section3.swf with the new one, the website still shows the old text.
I'm working on a project in Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, but I have to present it to someone who doesnt have Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5.
my Project consists of two .as files and two .fla files.(one .as per .fla)
How do I run my two programs outside of flash professional? I tried using Flash Player 10 but all it did was play my .fla files, and not any of my code...
I have a user with a brand new image including Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and the Adobe CS5. When creating a project in Flash CS5 and then trying to view it in Safari & Firefox the plug-in crashes which then brings down the browser with it.I went and installed Flash CS3 (as this is what he is used to using) and the problem still persists.
I am ASP.NET developer & wright now I am working on Silverlight project. SinceSilverlight has few drawbacks like we can get Clipboard IMAGE data using silverlight application(however we can access Clipboard TEXT data from Silverlight), but this is not an issue with flash. We can access to clipboard image as well as text data using flash.
I want to make a washing machine animation with adobe flash cs4.I have a basic image of 3 washing machines standing next to each other with the door on the front.I also have a very similar washing machine at home that I can video tape while it washes. I am pretty good at figuring out software, but I have not used Flash CS4 much,so I would like an expert to tell me the best way to go about doing this animation with this software.
I am a VERY basic user with Flash and have been asked to make an auto-scrolling news ticker for our website. The ticker needs to be able to pick up text from an external text file (so that we only need to alter the text file rather than the .fla file). AND, if possible, it needs to update automatically each day... I'll explain in more detail as I imagine this is very hazy so far. The news ticker will display up-coming events for the following two weeks on our website. So on, say, Monday the 1st it will show something like:
I would like to add a widget board to my flash project so users can embed my project in their web page or wiget display. To see what I'm talking bout go here [URL] and click the white + mark on their widgets.If your a moderater please put this in the correct area, and consider making it a sticky so we can post new ways to impliment in different sites as they become available.
