Flash :: Backwards Filling Preloader

Filling Up Preloader..?
i've created an wiremesh animation of a logo (initially there will be an outline of the logo and it slowly fills up with color).. now i need to make this as a preloader..How do i do it..???? i tried a tutor from FK.. but it doesnt seem to work(!!)..
please send me script / link to tutorial on how to do it...thnkx

Preloader Filling Direction
this is my preloader code:

var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
preloader._height = amountLoaded * 248.5;
preloaderText.text = Math.round(amountLoaded * 100) + "% loaded";

i want the preloader bar to fill from bottom to top. with this code it is filling from top to bottom. does anyone know how to fix that? it's probably easy but i didn't find any help yet.

thanks in advance for your help

Vertically Filling-in Preloader
Okay after much trauma i have drawn an aum sign, which i will be using as my preloader. I wish to have the vertically filling in effect.

Can someone help?

I think that if i animate it from frame 1 to 100 filling in vertically, then AS can be added to say that if 1& is loaded then show frame 1, 45% then frame 45.

I have that AS somewhere, but i dont know how to achieve the effect that the aum "fills" in black, or any colour.

Can any super-flash person help

Preloader Tht Counts Kb Backwards
OK, I have been through preloader tutorials and seen none where there is shown how to make one which counts KB backwards. you know. 100kb.80.50.10.5.1.

Anybody has got a link?

Preloader Counting Backwards
Ok, here's a serious one for all you brainiacs outThere:

Can anybody think of how to make a preloader count backwards, say from 100 (I mean it's easy to make it look like it's counting down from ten - you just make it display a digit every ten% - and that's cheating), but what I need is the real script. So, if anyone has it figured out, please let me in on that little secret. If not, well, there's a challenge.

The "Filling Up" Preloader
The idea if for a empty circle that will be "filled" as the percentage increases.
I tried doing it up but encounter some problems, anyone can help?

Filling Bar?
How do i make a bar start filling on keydown if you are in the zone?

I've tried:

Code:
player.onEnterFrame = function() {
with (player) {
If (zone.hitTest(_x, _y, true) {
inzone = true;
zoneicon.gotoAndPlay("visible");
} else {
inzone = false;
zoneicon.gotoAndPlay("invisible");
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
if (inzone = true){
bar+=1;
movieclip_bar.gotoAndPlay(bar+1) //The bar is supposed to animate
if (bar>99){ //If the bar is full
gotoAndPlay("finish") //Advance to next level
}
}
}
What is wrong?

Filling A Bar
hi there all you Flash Gurus!

im a newbie to the flash world, i have a project im working on, its like a preloader, but i want to fill the bar depending on a 2 values passed from the browser variables a & b

varA = total
varB = progress

Check out the attached image. thats the bar

the part im totally stuck with is making the green bar move from 0 to the point specified in the variable... so basically the green bar stops at the percentage of varA. the total width of the movie is the same as depicted in the image, its just the internal variables that change.

if you could help me out it would be MUCH appreciated. i know ActionScript is needed, its just that crap im lost with. I guess all im asking for is how do i get that symbol to move across the screen.

Filling Arrays
how can i fill an array with the names of variables in a for loop instead of strings?

for instance, I can do this.

myarray = new Array(l1,l2);

but lets say I want to fill this array with the instance names of 50 movies, l1 through l50, it is very tedious to right out all of those names, but I cant get the array to add a variable name. It only wants to add it as a string. for example.

for (i=0;i<50;i++){
myarray[i]=("l"+i);
}

the above statement will add 50 strings to the array, I want to add 50 variable names.

I have made this as clear as possible, I hope someone can help me out because I've been pulling my hair out over this one.

thanks

ps - another way to solve this problem would be to somehow convert a string to a variable name, how would i do that?

Filling A Box Via ActionScript. Possible?
What I'm trying to do is fill a 4-point box with a solid color. The box consists of four points that the user can interact with.

Basically, I dont know how to go about doing this. I consider myself very welloff in actionscript, but I am stuck trying to figure out a method. I've tried using a method of finding the midpoint of a line segment opposite a verticie, then taking that midpoint and dividing it up and drawing a line to each point, but that method is cpu intensive and ends up with tons of instanced movie clips.

ANY help is appreciated! Thanks!

imgFormat.fill = #000000;

Filling Arrays
I'm trying to create a series of arrays named "c0", "c1", "c2", etc ...

Each of those arrays will be filled and called like so: c0[0], c0[1], c0[2], c1[0], c1[1], c1[2], etc...

I'm trying to populate those arrays in a for loop...

Code:
for (i=0; i<=2; i++) {
for (j=0; j<=2; j++) {
var randomArraySpot:Number = randRange(0, choicesArray.length-1);//<---Simply finds a random number.
root["c"+i][j] = choicesArray[randomArraySpot];
trace(root["c"+i][j]);//<------------ Returns "Undefined"
}
}

Filling The Browser
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how you get your flash site to fill the browser regardless of size, is it done with actionscript or is it on the html side of things. Here is an example of a site that does it well.

Liquid Filling In AS3
Hi,

I am looking to create an effect of a glass filling up with a liquid. Is there an appropriate class in AS3 or will I have to make a series of shape tweens?

Filling A Circle
Hi all, I think this is a rather easy effect, but one of those things that has its trick. What I want to do is have a circle, that is being filled, like a clock, but using a mask or however it would be done, have it going filled up. Understand? I tried using shape tweens but of course it just deforms from one state to the next instead of smoothly filling up. If anyone could throw me a tip it would be a great help.

Random Filling?
Anyone I need some help I have been on that for long...

I would like to have my logo with the circles filled randomly how can I do that ?

I have found a post telling that I should create all my circles as a movie clip and try to generate a random number that would select the circles and another random number to to change the alpha.

the circle could be adressed with the setProperty action

Any example of code around?

Thanks

Problems With Filling
hi!

i have a following problem.

i made a simple 3d engine to have a nice rotational view of different 3d objects (described with AS). i use beginFill and endFill to give a color to the object.
if i have some more compex shapes (non convex), then during the rotation some overlapping occur and if i try to fill them, the overlapped parts are not filled.
i can understand that this is connected with the 3d transformations and how the flash interpretes the shapes but i have no experience in that field.

is there any easy solutions?

Filling Up An Area Afterwards
Hi all

I want to fill up an area after you have drawn several things. For example I have tried to make one:

Code:
------------
| |
--------|----- |
| | x | |
| -----|------
| |

--------------
The 2 rectangle is created with 8 lines (emptymovieclips) in swf. Is it possible to fill up the area only with the x?

Thanks in advance

Filling The Browser Window...
I posted a topic on this before under the same title, but when i tried searching it didnt come up, so, as Im still having problems with it....

My site is provisionally at: http://www.geocities.com/hel_leviathan
I designed it in 1024x768 and fits ok, but in lower resolutions a scroll bar appears at the bottom to view the whole site, now off to the right of the page...

As other sites don't have this problem I guess there must be a simple solution...?

Thx

Filling In Area With Color
I'm trying to fill in a certain area with
color, based on this line that draws in. The
line for right now is just a vertical line
the whole height of the movie.
So the area that I would want to fill in is just
A = height * _root.myVertical._x;

The problem is that I cannot think of anyway
to fill this area in with a different color.
Also it might be nice if I could draw an actual
rectangle of that area. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks.

Filling Arrays With A For Loop
In C++ I would do something like this:

for(i=0; i<200; i++)
{
MyArray[ i ]=i;
}

so MyArray[0]=0, MyArray[1]=1, ect...
how would I do something similar in actionscript?

Lock Filling Text

Filling In Email With Flash
Hi,

I've made a little thing that lets you fill in a message and press send and then it opens outlook or whatever fills in the rest like addresses, puts the body text in for you to send. This works great but only if its in a web browser, the swf alone doesnt work, nothing happens. Is there a way around this?

I've been using;

getURL("mailto:email@email.com?cc="+"&subject=Orde r&body="_root.masterlist.text")

any help would be cool

Filling At Random Circles
Hi,

How could you fill circles defined on a ceratin pattern (circles being of different sizes), I would like to do it using AS, I use MX2004.

I try to use the following .fla but I have difficulty to make the shape I want, see on my fla.

Anyone got any ideas? is that possible or I would be better off doing it as a normal animation, I have been kicking my head for a while being poor in AS.

Thanks

Help With Filling MC With Patterns/images
Hello,

I have a project Im about to start and wanted to see if anyone had any tutorials or input on how to go about setting this up...

The project is for a counter top business. They want to have a palette of 100 colors and 40 different woods patterns to choose from. When clicking any of these colors/patterns, the counter or wood 'object' (basically big overlapping sqare objects/mc) would fill in with what was clicked, and list the color/pattern name below.

If this dosent make sense, check out this URL, which is basically what I need to do:

http://www.silestoneusa.com/eColors/...?Mode=Contrast

* The only differene is my project is we'll only have 1 set (whereas this example has 4)...

They also want the objects to be like 3 dimensional models of a counter which would be filled in by the chosen pallette color/wood...but for now I just want to get the basics done on how it could just fill in a basic square/circle shape.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks...seanpc
