I found out a cool way to preload a flash in this page But is a preloader for a flash to another flash without having to modify the other flashThe code would be like this:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

Is it possible to project an animated shockwave movie or Flash movie directly on to an IMAX screen if it were designed to IMAX screen specs without going through Adobe After Effects to render out a Quicktime movie?
View 5 RepliesI want to know, Is there any way to handle or control the shockwave objects in flash by using 'as3'? I know this is possible in 'Director' by using 'Lingo'. But I am not able to find any way or any articles from where i can get some idea about this. In the director, I've seen there is way to set some properties like camera position, light affects etc. with the shockwave objects. But I am not sure about the FLASH. Can it possible to use these type of properties with shockwave objects in flash, which could be controlled in action script3 ?
View 1 RepliesCan I set a maximum percentage of CPU resources a specific program or process can use? I want to use the executable name instead of its pid, because I would like certain executables to always run with constrained resources.
The reason I ask for that is that I am bored of the way Shockwave Flash behaves. It is not possible that to draw a few stupid things in my browser it takes 50%, 80%, 99% of my dual core CPU!

P.S.: Now, when my fan starts running I now the reason and I know how to temporarily fix it: I kill Shockwave Flash and everything is back as normal.
What are the ways of doing this? The search function is down right now, for whatever reason.
The only way I can think of off the top of my head is using an html enabled text box in flash to iframe a separate page with the shockwave app inside it. I've seen it only once before on a site that was given a new shockwave game and we had to have it work with the existing flash website.
I bought Macromedia Flash because I took course in Flash about 8 years ago. So,when I was asked by my company's CEO to take a presentation and turn it into a "flash movie" I said, "sure I can do that". Well, I did do it, and it plays fine on the workstation that I created it on with "Macromedia Flash Player 8. However, no one else can get it to play except by opening it with a browser, which is not really ideal for our proposed usage. Is there some sort of desktop player still available that would allow someone (like a sales guy) to just double click on an icon and play this movie? Or is there some sort of way that i can update the movie so there is a desktop player to launch it?

I have the following code to display the swf object on the page. It works well in all browsers. However, if shockwave flash turned off in Firefox, it won't fallback into image and show bunch of characters instead looking like "CWS..." All other browsers fallback to the image. I verified that we serve application/x-shockwave-flash MIME type on our server.

I'm wrapping up a small corporate website, but I left the preloader to do until the very end, so instead of changing any layout of my View, I just moved everything to frame 2, and put the preloader on frame 1. I'm using some of the code here: http:[url].... which seems pretty ace.
The problem I'm having though is that CS5's built in preloader is going and loading the whole swf, then it runs my preloader (on frame 1) which causes it to move strait to frame two instantly (I changed it so now it at least plays through the animation then moves on, but it's still not loading anything during that screen).that is causing flash to load the entire swf before even playing my preloader on frame 1. I don't remember having this problem in CS4.
My Preloader works fine when I preview in Download mode BUT only loads the first frame of animation.I have attached my file- just a simple image fade ( it has a lot more images but no space here!)Here is the code in the Actions layer:

this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onTotal);[code]...........

View 2 RepliesI am able to get the Flash preloader working with say an image like JPG but when I attempt to have the preloader load a video it doesn't work. I read that in order to use a FLV file it needs to be embedded into a SWF file so preloader can work with it. One issue with embedding the FLV file into the SWF is the sound does not match up with video after that conversion which can kinda be fixed by changing the FPS. Needless to say I have not been able to get this working correctly. I am not sure if there is a work around for this issue.

View 4 Repliesbuilding a preloader in Flash. It's about pre-loading swf files in the background while the visitor is watching a page. For instance, I have a start page built in HTML. It will have links to various swf-clips. I would like for those swf-clips to start caching immediately once the HTML page is loaded so that there is no (or little) delay once the visitor clicks on any of the links.
