I don't know much about Flash so understanding how to implement a preloader for my entire site is just a bit beyond me. Basically, I just want a loading bar, "loading" text, and the percentage text (this should all be in AS3). I know that in Flash CS5, a preloader bar is included as one of the components. The only problem is that I don't know what to do with it (and it shows up as blue and white so not sure how to change the colour).

A client of mine has had 2 sites (both Flash sites) attacked over the last 12 months, so he's been asking: should he go for a static HTML site or stick with a Flash site? Is there ways to make a Flash site more secure?
So I make my site in flash, forget to add a preloader for the main timeline. I go back and add the extra frames to allow this but as soon as I add even just one more frame it make all my graphics go jaggy edged!?! See diagram below.
I am working with Flash MX Professional 2004 on a mac running Tiger. I am near to finishing a fully flash based website.I am fairly new to Flash so experiencing a wee problem with my Preloader. The preloader is an animation in a movieclip that I have placed at the start of each scene that contains only one of my portfolio photos which once downloaded fades in and fades out. The Preloader tested in an isolated test scene on its own works fine, it is placed in frame 1 with the following actionscript 2 and a stop action placed in an actions layer. The downloading photo fade in starts in frame 2. When the user closes the photo it unloads it from the level it is in ready for the user to choose another photo which will go in to the same level.
Yet when the same scene is played back on its own level within the main website FLA it does work as an animation. Rather it stalls, blank to start with then at 50% download it goes straight to the 100% loaded part of the Preloader animation and stays like that until the photo has fully downloaded. It does this at all bandwidth tests and also does this when tested live once uploaded to server. It should animate smoothly up until the photo downloads. Very frustrating problem. I notice that the first frame of the scene has an unusually large size for some reason as the preloader is only 10kb in reality yet shows as 60kb, may be there is something going on here or perhaps it just needs the script changing slightly?[code]
Adobe Flash CS3Action Script 1.0 & 2.0 Im just almost done with my site. Just put in a preloader in the 1st scene of my site, and this is the script I put in:
I'm trying to integrate a preloader into my site and I wanted some feedback on when/where to use it. I think my site will likely be around 3 megs and was going to just use one preloader at the beginning. I then thought about integrating it into each subsection, which will likely be around a meg a piece.
how to make a new preloader work in a flash template which has it own preloader.Im not talking about the preloader for the site, but for loading the external swf in between. The buttons/menu are loaded via xml. And when you click on a button, it loads a external swf and this is where the preloader works.
we have a website online the last few days, narrowcastmedia.co.za. Everything works well but the only prob encountered so far is our main preloader (positioned on the 1st frame, once loaded it sends you to frame 3 where the rest of the code lies), the preloader itself only is visible when starting around 80/90%. I want to be able to see the preloader loading the site from 0%. Ive changed the settings of AS2 where i export the classes in frame 3. it helps a little bit but still the preloader starts now from around 60/70% and still not from 0%. A AS file is attached so you guys can have a look at the code behind the preloader.
I made a preloader that works perfectly to load one of my .swf's on my machine, but how do I make it work on a site? I'm mocking up a site currently just using local files.
I'm using the sample external preloader file supplied with CS5 as the basis for my customised pre-loader. It's working fine except that once the main site has loaded and is open, the preloader remains loaded in the background.[code]...
Here's the site... [URL] *Just type in "insight" as the password. After the site launches click your refresh button and the site sticks on the preloader. The loader is just checking to see if all bytes are loaded and there's a shared object that sent to a user's system that is also checked at start up.
I am trying make a preloader for a site I've bulit.I did this site via the displaylist the whole thing and I have every pages linked togther as actionscript files
How it is done, when you enter to site [URL]. Preloader loading the content of site and when you re-enter to site you see the preloader once again and preloader loading from 1 to 100 fast. What script cause this effect?
I have 2 mc, mc1 with script : onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) { if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) { loaded = true; _root.mc2.gotoAndPlay("preloader"); }}}
And mc2 have preloader in 2 frames and then goes frame with label loadMovie("content") but its not working.
I am having difficulties inserting a Map widget on my flash site. [URL] it needs to go on the left hand side were there is a "empty" space waiting for it! so i attached the map widget code just cuz... i am using flash cs4, as3 the code is a follows:
I bought a Flash Portfolio program from Flash Components and followed the tutorial for setup and when I click index.html within my flashport folder, from my local PC it works perfectly. Now when I upload it to my website and try and run [URL], or [URL] a small portion of it loads (just my name and a blank screen really) and stops. So it works when I run the it from my local machine, but doesn't work from my website. Can anyone provide and thoughts or comments?
I recently add two flash (.swf) file in to my web-site of selling ink for cartridges, But it seems they are not well embed in the posistion of the web-site front page.
First off, my main problem is that my company's website is loading slow and I'm not sure why. All of my images are small file sizes, but I do have 4 scenes that I'm using , maybe that causes slow loading?I've attached the website address below:I created my entire website out of flash Is this not the best way to create and publish a website?Should I use Flash in conjunction with another website building software to create and publish my full website? If I only use Flash can someone please point me in the direction of how to successfully build and publish a website through Flash that doesn't load slow, i.e. loading things dynamically? What I've been doing is publishing my site onto my computer and then uploading the .html and .swf files to Godaddy for publishing.
My flash site wont autostart when you enter the website, you have to manually right-clicky and press "Play" to start the site even tho it has been specified in the html file with the 'play', 'true', param. Here's some of the html file:
I have a full flash website which is broken down into:
- Main movie which contains navigation and interface components
- Several content movies which are loaded into the main movie on demand
- An intro movie which is around 3MB in size; its a full CG movie.
At the moment the main movie preloads and then the intro movie preloads afterwards in a sequence; like so:
Main Movie > Intro Movie > Content Loads
There is a skip intro option which will skip the intro movie step and jump right to the content load once the main movie has loaded.
My client wants me to do something which is proving very difficult and I am starting to wonder if its even possible as searches on the net have given results which don't really work properly.
Here is what I need to do:
When the main movie is requested, its preloader appears which it has a load bar and a "skip intro" button. The difference being, this preloader will be loading the main movie AND the preloader; which the load bar representing both movies load progress.
To complicate matters, if the skip intro button is pressed, the preloader needs to drop the intro movie from the equation and just account for the main movie & thus skip the intro; straight to the content.
The way I have tried to do it is to have a preloader code in the intro which sends the total size and bytesloaded back to the main movie which deals with those values, adding it onto its own size. This is proving cumbersome and although appeared to be working, isn't working propery.
I'm in the middle of optimising a site, to which end I've constructed a preloader / welcome screen. My problem is that although the preloader apparently works (as in the bar moves and a numerical "percentage loaded" value is displayed), it only appears once the rest of the site is 80-90% loaded, i.e defeating its purpose.....?
used external XML files with text for my sites but now i have a special request that i can't make with the code i used till now.i want to have an external xml textfile with ALL the text form my site in it spearated with different tags. exaple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><text> <home> <headline>This is headline</headline> <body>this is the body of the text for the HOME page</body> <footer>this is footer</footer> </home>
I am trying to put a facebook like button onto my flash site but it goes at the bottom. What other coding do I have to do. I would like to have it near the middle of the page.
windows 7 64 bit IE and mozilla firefox , both 32 bit Says I have flash player installed. I have the latest version. My windows is up to date, 64 bit 7. Plugin is enabled, works on adobe's site. Doesn't work anywhere else to my knowledge
Attached pics are what other people have looked at while trouble shooting, I have looked many places, and have not found the correct answer[URL]..
The folder is not there. I thought that would probably be the problem. Manual installer uninstalling and all kinds of installing have been tried.
I built a website using flash. I have two videos that play directly in flash CS5, i published the site and everything worked great including the videos. now the videos won't play. my website is [URL]
Back in 1999, I taught myself how to use Flash (it was before Actionscript). I used it to make a funny website called Mirsk-T: [URL]..I also created some basic HTML on the site's front page to determine whether a visitor had Flash version 4 installed. If the person didn't, then the person would see a page with a link to Adobe's download site.
Now, it's 12 years later and I haven't used Flash since I created Mirsk-T in 1999. I also haven't done any HTML coding either. But I'm having problems getting Mirsk-T to work with certain browsers. The site works fine with Safari, Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and OmniWeb. However, when I access the site with Firefox or Chrome or Camino, I see the GIF image I created that appears when a visitor doesn't have Flash installed. And I know I have Flash installed on those browsers.
I therefore have no idea why the site isn't working with those browsers.
A few more details: The Mirsk-T site consists of two different pages. The opening page is at www.mirskt.com (www.mirskt.com/index.html). It consists of a Flash movie that is a song with animated lyrics. Once the song ends, visitors are taken to [URL]..The page with the song is what's not loading in Firefox, Camino and Chrome. If I directly put [URL]..into the browser bar of Firefox, Chrome and Camino, that part of the site works. So, there's something strange going on with the HTML in the page with the song. I'm guessing the HTML I had written back in 1999 for detecting Flash is not working anymore somehow.
So, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea why the front page (the Flash movie with the song) isn't working in some browsers. I don't know if I'm skilled enough to be able to change the HTML even if someone here knows what's wrong. But then maybe someone here could do me a favor and quickly fix the index.html file. I'm guessing it would only take a few minutes for someone who knows what he/she is doing.
I have a flash website, and an html website. I use Nivo slider on the html site as a slideshow to showcase images and tagline slides, I'm curious if anyone knows if you can put a Nivo slider slideshow in a flash site? Nivo slider uses jquery, with fairly simple html img src code and a css file, is it possible to have this in a flash site?
