Actionscript 3 :: Find Out When All Loaders That Are Currently Loading Have Finished?
Jan 8, 2012
I have some code where I am loading a few hundred images into an array in Flash. I am using XML to pass in the list then a Loader for each entry like this -
for (var i:int = 0; i < myXML.item.length(); i++) {
imgloaders[i] = new Loader();
imgloaders[i].load(new URLRequest(myXML.item[i].imageLocation));[code]...
I want to perform some action once all of these have finished loading. The only way I can think of is to increment a count each time one finishes and have a Timer that checks if the count has reached the number of images I am loading.

SOUND_COMPLETE apparently isn't working!
In short, this is what I have:
ActionScript Code:
var playingsong:Sound;
function loadTrack(track){
playingtrack = new Sound();
[Code].....
I have a trace on trackFinished, and it never happens, so it's never getting called.

i am playing around with the rotationX/Y/Z properties available in flashplayer since version 10. for testing purpose i created a cube and put canvas objects on three sides of it (top, front, bottom) and created a tween to get the values required for turing by 90 deg. turning the cube (a canvas) using rotationX = xx works well when the three side-canvas objects are small and filled with a not-to-complex element hierarchy. when using larger and more complex content it slows down. the next idea was to remove the canvas elements content and replace it by a snapshotimage of the content instead before starting the turn, after the turn is performed the original content is put back on the sides again.
this results in a good perfomance increase. using a tween the last step of rotation is done in the function that is called as the tweenEnd handler. in this function also the process of copying the canvases content back is performed. unfortunately this results in a short hang of the cube right in that last rotation step, the reason for which is that rotation and copying back takes place at the same time. so i could wait for some time after having called cube.rotationX = endValue by using a timer or setTimeout(func, 500), but this is ugly. so my question is: after having called cube.rotationX = endValue a period of time is required to calculate data for the rotation and do the rotation itself. is there a way to find out the point in time when the rotation has ended, so that then the copying can be started ?

I created a website off of a template, and of course didn't learn the Flash MX 2004 program before I started and just intuitioned through it. Now, the site works great, but I want to edit it and can't get to any of the layers, because I'm sure I've fumbled the organization. Tried onion skinning, and timeline/tween clicking - no go. I'm sure it's the simplest thing in the world, but sometimes the obvious is the hardest thing to see.

I'm trying to learn something new: "contentLoaderInfo" and need some advice. I'm loading a bunch of thumbs so far, and will be loading the large version of those images later (after I get this part working) for a gallery.
I declared all the loaders and the URLRequests. And listeners like this: loader1.addEventListener.COMPLETE, processLoaderOne; loader2.addEventListener.COMPLETE, processLoaderTwo;etc.
If I try to load them all in successive statements,
loader1.load(URLRequest1);loader2.load(URLRequest2);loader3.load(URLRequest3);loader4.load(URLRequest4); and in the functions (processLoaderOne, processLoaderTwo, etc.) if I try to place the content on the stage by saying: loader2.x=loader1.x+loader1.contentLoaderInfo.width, it doesn't work.
I get this message: "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
But if I "daisy-chain" them together by loading one loader (and use contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processLoaderOne) ) and put a load statement to load the next subsequent loader as the last line in that function, it works OK.
Is there any way to use the first method, loading all the loaders at the same time? And using Event.COMPLETE in their addEventListener declarations?

I have 5 loaders on a frame, each loads an external .swf on enter_frame. Everything works great, but the problem is that after this frame, the movie gets really bogged down and slow.
After running through debug, it looks like the loaders are loading the .swfs over and over again, so I end up with multiple child .swfs in each one, which I am guessing is the reason things start running slow. I am obviously missing the script to tell the loader to only load once, then stop loading.
Here's the code:
Code:
stop();
brandsOne.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, brandsLoader1);
brandsTwo.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, brandsLoader2);
brandsThree.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, brandsLoader3);
[Code]...

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I have set up a nice video site for a client. I have a sub menu where you can select swf files. Each swf has an FLV attatched to it. I prefered this method over XML for various reasons.In any case I would like after the swf has loaded, and the flv COMPLETES the entire movie, to automatically go to the next swf file and start that flv. I've tried many codes with no luck.

The following code loades text into a textfield the problem I'm having is the routine at the bottom runs before the text loads and the scrollbar disappears even when there's enough text to overflow the textfield. How would I make sure the text has finished loading before running the code that enables/disables the scrollbar?
mainText.htmlText = main[1];textFieldLength = mainText.text.length; if(mainText.length > textFieldLength){ mainScroll._visible = true; }else{ mainScroll._visible = false; }

I am a flash newbie, how can I get the flash to start playing before it is finished loading on a website? I embedded a FLV file into a flash and I'm going to export it as a SWF, I want it to start playing the movie before it's done loading so people don't think that it's not working.

i have an animation with a series of colored squares appearing and disappearing from the stage [URL]..except that the squares appear and disappear). Each of the squares fade in and out using Actionscript, with a custom method that animates its alpha property over time. I want to pick randomly every few seconds a square, to make it disappear and put a new one in its place, and my code is more or less like this:

how to automatically load external movie clips so that they load and play after the previous movie clip has finished. I have attached a simplified version of the files that I am working with.The files are set up as so: Main.fla : this is the main file in which all of the other movie clips are loaded into.Movie1.fla, Movie2.fla, Movie3.fla : These movies need to load and play after the previous movie has finished playing.

i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....

Is it possible to set a listener or something like it to run a function once the flash movie itself has finished loading?So something like:When this flash movie has finished loading, activate function.Btw. I'm not trying to do this with a swf file loaded into another flash movie. I need this to be done by the movie once it self has finished loading.

I'm using the same code I always use for preloading another swf but it's not working this time. The problem this time is that when the loading bar gets to 16% every time you can hear the movie I'm loading playing in the background. I can just add a stop to the first frame of the movie I'm loading ("trial_1.swf") but how do I tell it to go to the second frame once it has loaded?
Here's my code:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest ("trial_1.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);

I have loaded in an external swf file and it works fine.
However, when I get the width dimensions of the movieclip that is housing the external swf file it gives me a '0' for the width.

I have an app that "loadmovies" a slideshow.swf in a sub-folder. THis sub-folder also contains an xml file and numbered jpgs.But when I run the main app, and click on the button to load the sub SWF files, the images do not appear. I assume it is a directory issue.
But if I run the slideshow.swf directly from it's folder, the images appear fine.I am using the xml_photogallery from this site for the main actionscript, is there something I can change here to point to the jpgs path?

My main project loads an external .swf ("room") depending on which button the user clicks. Once that external .swf ("room") is loaded, the viewer chooses a ("demo") .swf to view. For each button click, a loader is to appear showing the viewer that the desired room or demo is loading. All of this works fine for the web...please click the link below to view.
The problem exists when I try to publish as an .EXE. We'd like to send these out to prospects on CD and thus I need an .EXE to autorun when insterted in a PC. I've published the main .SWF (overhead map) as an .EXE and burned a cd containing all necessary files. Now when the user clicks a room and then a demo, the loader that shows up fine on the web does not appear...the button stays in the down state until the demo .swfs loads and then the demo appears and plays.

I'm making an image gallery and am loading about a dozen thumbs that load a larger image when each one is clicked. Works just great so far. But, as expected, there's a little pause before each corresponding large image is displayed.I'd like to eliminate the wait, if possible, so here's my question: As a matter of preference or programing style, whatever you want to call it, do you guys usually load ALL the images first, thumbnails as well as large images, before displaying anything on the stage? Or do you just load each large image when necessary, after its corresonding thumbnail is clicked?Sometimes I see very cool Flash sites that have the percentLoaded line or twirler displayed for what seems like a long time, but then each screen (MovieClip) after that displays fairly quickly and I'm wondering if that's what's happening - all, or at least a LOT of the images are being preloaded
