IDE :: Building A Preloader In Flash?
Jan 2, 2009building 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.

Jan 23, 2009So I have a photo gallery that loads with a series of thumbnails that link to larger images.The entire gallery is dynamically added to the stage using attachMovie when a user clicks on a button. Because the gallery is pretty big, I want to add a preloader that tells the user that thumbnails are loading. I have set my gallery up using three frame. The first frame measures how many bytes have been loaded, the second frame loops the timeline back to the first frame using 'gotoAndPlay(1);' The preloader code on the first frame looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());

ActionScript 2.0 :: Building An External SWF Preloader
Jul 29, 2004I am working on a project based on this pageflip source code that is located here: [URL] My project is located at [URL] - once there you may click on "Jones Album" to see my utilization of the original source code from iparigrafika.hu. As you can see on my version...there is no preloader... I can't add a standard preloader in the first few frames of the main movie, otherwise the flash no longer works properly. And every tutorial that i have found on loading external SWF files requires that a preloader be added to the external SWF.
How do I write the actionscript for a percentage preloader of my external SWF without putting the preloader in the external SWF? keep in mind that I am a novice when it comes to actionscript, so bear with me.

Oct 4, 2011I run a school lab with a few users on each machine. One students came up with a problem. She is always in outline view, even when the outline button in the layers panels is not punched. When I log in to the same machine, I do not have the problem. I assume the problem is in the user preferences file. We are on Windows 7. I went into AppData and deleted what I thought was the preferences file, but it continues to return. Anyone have any ideas why I can't get her out of outline view? Adobe Flash CS5

Aug 8, 2011For a project I wanted to create something, that resembles something like this:- a very detailed waterdrop- some kind of ooze- some kind of amoebaSomething like that. A roughly round organically animated thing, with a darker outline. Now I wondered how to realize this. I basically had three ideas so far.a) I draw the outline with actionscript, using drawing function to create dynamically a shape out of curves, fill it with a fitting color and make the outline more distinct using the linestyle. The problem: I'm not sure if there is any realistic chance to also animate this without using thousands of lines of code.
b) I create several round shapes that are close to each other. All of them have the same color, and I move them slowly around, so that they look like a single shape with a curved border slowly animated. Then I add an outline by creating a thin but very strong glow effect. Problem: These filters take up a lot of processing power, and the Glowfilter will be slightly blurry (beeing a glow filter after all), which is not the effect I want.c) I draw the shapes by hand, give them manually an outline and animate the thing using tweens and stuff. Problem: I don't think I can animate them fluently enough that way.

View 6 RepliesHow To Add Outline To Shape
Mar 12, 2004It has me perplexed. Okay, when you draw a shape in Flash, let's say a circle, it draws a 'fill' and adds an 'outline' automatically. Now let's say I deleted the 'outline' part of it, and am left with just the 'fill'. Is there a way to add the 'outline' part back to the shape afterwards? I have a non-standard shape that I need to add an outline to, but can't seem to figure out how to do it

Here is my project and I am trying to teach myself how to do these things. I had great help in making buttons on here a while back, now I am trying to build an object right in flash. The easiest thing for most to relate to is a computer that is being built from scratch. So, You start with a base picture of an open sided computer with a list of components underneath. By draggin those components to the box, it snaps them in place. You can also remove them the same way. When done, you click a tally button and it shows a list of all the components you added with product numbers.

I seriously have went through almost all tutorials, both video and text, and nothing has worked! I am using Actionscript 3, or whatever the tutorial says to use.edit: Here is something I'm working on. Its a button, and on the rollover it creates the animation. Obviously it doesnt work, because you cant have a button inside a button, so I don't know the actionscript to do this.

View 2 RepliesFlash - Building Interactive Map Of All States
May 23, 2011I've been tasked with building an interactive map of all the states in the US and just wondering what the best way is to go about this? I know I could build this fairly easily in Flash but one of the requirements is for it to work on an iPhone so obviously that rules Flash out!
Requirements:
Must work across all browsers and handheld devices.
Must be updatable via Wordpress.
Must include a small info box that pops up when each state is hovered.
The look of the map will be designed by us (we'd want complete control of this as we're graphic designers!) so this also rules out a custom Google map.
I've done a search on here and found two examples, the first is exactly the kind of thing we want but is done in flash - example I don't think I'll be able to create popup bubbles when hovering over each state. An example I like is - Transmit's feature section. How was this built and how could I recreate something like that?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Building A Big Website With Flash
Jan 31, 2009Im building for the first time a website with flash (ac3). but Im not a total n00b to flash.My plan is it to creat a main.swf file which holds things like the navigation and the language selector (you can choose "ru" or "eng") and it has a function which loads the subpages.swf (i think its better to make the subpages unique becouse they wont look the same at all) e.g. if I click on the second navibutton it should load the 02.swf inside of the main.swf __and__ destroy the old .swf which was there befor. I dont know how to write this function the best way (addChild / removeChild maybe?), but i know how to addEventListener to the buttons.My second problem is inside of this (e.g. 02.swf) will be a function which fillout the textfields with xml data. So this function needs to get the language var from the main.swf to parse xml with the right language. I know how to do the parsing part. But i dont know how to send a var from main.swf to the page.swf.
View 4 RepliesActionscript 3.0 :: Building A 3D Scene In Flash CS 5
Jun 22, 2010with the advent of Flash Player 10 and now Adobe's Flash Professional CS5 i was thinking of creating a simple 3d scene consisting of movieclips, without relying heavily on as code or a 3d engine.
A simple scene where a user can interact or travel between the movieclips using their mouse. Now i have built a quick scene in flash cs5 by just creating dummy mcs, the problem is there is no camera control using the tools.
Sure you can select all and transform the mcs at one go in 3d space and add relevant keyframes, but that still doesn't give us any freedom in having an actual 3d camera able to fly through the scene.
Is there any way to create a simple flash 3d scene using library movieclips, with the ability to adjust camera fly settings on mouse movements? That is, not relying too much on as code?
