Flash :: Delay Loading Movies

Delay Loading Up External Movies
Hey everyone,

I'm new AS... I am encountering problems loading up external swfs in an empty movie clip... Well, the only problem is that it takes a long time to load them up. Like, the library is pretty big.

Some of those external swfs also contains empty movie clips to upload other contents (more external swfs). So it's kinda multi-level.

When I try it within flash, it's fine, there's no delay. Instead, on the net, it's a whole another story.

I have a hint I should use the "array" thing, but I'm not sure how to in that case...

Any suggestion?

Delay In Frames Or Movies
In FlashMX, is there a way to set up action script to delay a frame or movie from playing until a certain point? I have a movie as a background...the background is a city skyline....the animation is lights that flicker in the city skyline. I'd like to the lights to flicker every 12 seconds....

Thanks!

Random Movies With A Delay
Can you load random movies from an array at random times? What I would like to have happen is about ten to fifteen very short movie clips be able to be called at random in random places at random times with at least some type of delay. I am kind of new to action scripting I have read the other tutorials on random movie loading but they don’t seem to explain how to what I am looking for and I just don’t understand enough to write the code yet. I can read with understanding but I can’t speak yet. Thanks for any help.

Delay In Showing Loaded Movies
Hi,
I have a main movie and six external swf's that I load with loadMovie with navigation buttons. I have a preloader in the mainmovie (thanks to OldNewbie). The swf's are between 5 and 20 kB. Everything works fine, but sometimes I still have to wait (about six or seven seconds with a dsl connection) for the swf's to show up, even when they are already 'in cache'. And then the preloader doesn't show either. It seems as if the file has been found but something keeps it from showing. I use no components, no strange fonts. I do use tweens in the external swf's, and in some of the tweens bitmaps. But also in the swf's without bitmaps it sometimes happens.

I wonder what is happening, technically.

I am also wondering if it has to do with using relative or absolute paths in the buttons referring to the external files. I use relative.
Does anybody know?

this is the link

thanks,
Jerryj.

Load Random Movies (with Time Delay)
Could someone advise me of how i can load random movies into an empty mc with some form of time delay before the next movie downloads into another level?...(rather than adding loads of frames in the loaded clip)

...to add another tier the question, is it possible to determine what movies have loaded played before, therefore preventing a movie being shown twice in row

(note: the empty mc movie is being embedded in a html page)

Thanks in advance

Preloading Large (400+kb) Movies And Eliminating The Delay While Library Loads
I read something about this before, but can't quite remember, my problem is I am building some fairly large game applications, and when the preloader runs, under 56k speed, nothing is shown for 15 seconds while the library loads (65kb), then you see the first frame. I know I can use a loader swf and load my game swf into it and that would solve the problem, but is there anything else I can do.

Thanks

Loading Movies Inside Other Movies In An Ext Movie Holder?
Here's one for you:

I've got my main movie that has a movie holder on it (entitled movieholder.) The buttons on the left control what goes in the movie holder. In one of the movies there is a list of songs that are actually buttons. These buttons call up another movie(with MP3s). How do I get the MP3 movies to go into "movieholder" when they are being called by a button inside 'movieholder'

I'm using MX

Hope that made a slight bit of sense!

Thanks for any help,

Loading Movies Into Movies With Scroll Bars O_O
I have a site where I'm showcasing my talents (Obviously figuring scripting out won't be one of them) and I load movies into the central area by using simple commands, and it all works. Now I need to have of of those movie to scroll around, because I'm showcasing banners and have more than 400 pixels of height can fit.

I was thinking of using the same textField system that I used for my news section, but replacibng the textField part was a different thing for Movies.

There's got to be an easier way though. Can anyone help me?

Ummm... Loading Movies Inside Movies.... Help?
I posted a question about this a month or so ago, but now (I've had to work out problems on other sites in the meantime) I'm totally ready to figure this out!

I have a VERY large Flash Web site. So, it was suggested that I chop up the site into a few smaller movies. From there, I would set up a main page with a ["target"?] movie clip nested in it. Then, when a button has been pushed, the corresponding swf loads inside the movie clip. I think I can handle that... (although a nice tutorial would be great!)

The problem I'm having is... These swf's can be 'called' from each other, meaning the same buttons will be in each movie. However, the buttons will trigger different frames in each movie, depending on which movie you're already in. I'm betting this is confusing...

EXAMPLE: Every page has 4 buttons, "Who We Are", "Success Stories", "Portfolio", and "Contact". From the Home page you can push any of these buttons and it will go to the first frame of the corresponding movie and a quick, little animation displays as it takes you into the page. That's great. The problem is that, if you were in the "Who We Are" page and clicked "Contact" it should NOT go to Frame 1 of that movie... It should go to Frame 30, because there is a specific animation that connects "Who We Are" to "Contact" that is not the same as the connection animaton between "Home" to "Who We Are". So how do I get the code to be more specific?

HELP!

Dynamically Loading Movies Into Movies With Variables
This might be a kinda tough one. I'll explain the best that I know how.

I want to load jpg images into a movie/button (movie clip with a button instance inside of it with another movie clip inside the button), but I need to do it dynamically.

I was thinking about naming all of the files the same but just change the numbering at the end. Then I can just use an i value to obtain the next file.

Code:
for(i=1;i<5;i++){
loadMovie("something"+i+".jpg","mv_btn_"+i)
}

so, basically I have 5 buttons with 5 images to import. The buttons already have the proper numbers on them, I just need to import the clips into the corresponding button.

Sound Linkage When Loading Movies Into Movies
I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.

However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far I havenâ€™t been able to figure out how without breaking the sound. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Frustrated With Loading Movies Inside Movies.
Ok here's my sight:
http://www.fantim.org/811/index2.html
This is my second attempt at making an all flash site. I got two questions.
1. Lets say I have three movies. Movie1.swf Movie2.swf and Movie3.swf
Movie1.swf has Movie2.swf loaded inside of it. Is there anyway to make Movie2.swf load Movie3.swf inside Movie1.swf ? Does that make sence?
2. Is there anyway to load only certian parts of a movie into another movie? For example:
I have this file http://www.fantim.org/fantimshow/movies/movies.swf (Don't mind the chopiness of it) As you can see it has excess stuff on the sides. Is there anyway to load this within another movie without showing this excess stuff?
Any help would be appreciated.

Loading/unloading Movies In Loaded Movies :|
Yeah, I know that sounds confusing. Lemme explain:

- interface.swf load section1.swf in a specific container called containerMC (duh! );
- section1.swf load other movie, section1a.swf;
- I need a button in section1.swf that load section3.swf in the same main container (containerMC in interface.swf), unloading section1.swf and section1a.swf.

Well... I need some tips about the action of my 'overloaded' button

Delay Loading
This will probably sound like a stupid question...I just made my first flash animation and put it on a page. It's small and loads quickly...too quickly. While the rest of the page is still loading my animation has already finished. I don't want it to loop. What I need help with is setting a delay, either to wait until the rest of the page loads (preferably) or as a time function. Can anyone help???

Possible To Delay Loading?
It might sound strange but i'm doing an experiment into the effect that waiting for a site to load has on the users browsing experience. i have made the same site essentially twice, once using flash and the other using php. i made the php site quite graphically intensive to make it load quite slowly but my flash site is loading too quickly (shouldn't be a problem in usual circumstances i know!). my flash site is divided into two scenes, the first with a preloader and the second scene holding the site. is there any way that i can delay the loading of the site, maybe by changing the preloader in some way..?

Strange question i know but any ideas would be much appreciated.

Delay In Loading
Hi,

I have a problem in a file while it loads.

There are 3 scenes in his file. The first scene has the loading bytes & percentage. Second and third scenes have animations.

I have created a separate movie for music which has on/off buttons and which loads on the first frame of the second scene.

Below is the action for the first frame of second scene:

ifFrameLoaded (1) {
loadMovieNum("music.swf", 10);
}

Now the problem is this entire animation works perfectly fine when viewed offline, with proper loading and music. But the same has problems when uploaded (online). That is the music movie loads when the third scene starts. I am not able to decipher what the problem is.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards,
Swapna

Delay While Loading From The XML
Thanks.......

In my application I am loading every image from the server through XML.
The buttons have mouse over, active and inactive state. Three different images are using for these three states.

I had loaded the images to the application and given the mouse over action.

But the problem is that it taking some time to load the image from the server.. so the mouse over function is not smooth..
Is there any way of storing the images to a cache at the first time to avoid the delay of showing the mouse over image.

Or is there any other wasy way to solve this...

Hello everybody,

and it has work fine until this week. When im testing it on my comp. it works fine, and it has done so even *live* on the server, but now, when i publish it on the server it gets a delay whenever i press one of the portfolio buttons...like, it u want to see the first image on the blue bar, u klick...and then it takes between 3-4 sec before the preloader kicks in and even the preloader is wack.

My preloader has this command:

if (_root.holder.gLoaded>=100) {
_root.holder.gotoAndStop(4);
} else {
_root.holder.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

(aditional code on the grafic)

and my holder MC only go a emty frame.
When i talk to my friens and make them test the site, they say that they also have a delay but only for 1 sec or so. And it have worked before this week!!!

Plz plz plz plz help me...i havent changed anything since i first got it to work.

It would be nice if u also could send the replay to my email: dejan.mauzer@berghs.se

Time Delay Without Loading
Hi,

I'm trying to put a pause in the first frame of a flash movie, this pause to last around 9 seconds. During those 9 seconds I don't want the rest of the flash ani to load. After the 9 seconds are up, the movie goes to the next frame and loads it. Is there a way to do this?

I've been to this webpage regarding time delay, but I can't get the thing working on mine.... If anyone knows that this script does what I want, let me know and I'll waste more time on it

Delay Between Loading Xml Modules
Hi There, I am extremely new to actionscript and have been thrown in at the deep end, the tutorials on this site have been incredibly useful so far but I'm stuck on something!

I can load my xml menu into flash with no problem, but what I really want is for them to load one after the other, from top to bottom. Can anyone help me with this? Below is the menu code I have so far:

Delay Loading External Swf
I currently have 2 flash movie clips talking to each other.

I have a main animation on level10 and a menu movieclip on level20. The menu buttons move my main animation timeline forward and reverse successfully.

On my main animation, there are points where the animation stops on a specific frame number. This occurs from actionscript in my menu buttons using playAndStop and reverseShift....this all works fine.

The next step, is for my content to load when the main animation stops. The problem is, I don't want it to load when passing over the frame...only when it has stopped on the frame. (the animation is traveling down a path...for example...when it stops at frame 10, i want the content to load...but not when passing over frame 10 on the way to stopping on frame 20)

Is there a way I can delay loading the movieclip once the animation has stopped on the frame?

Here is how I am currently loading the movieclip:

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("content_mc", 30);
content_mc.loadMovie("content.swf");
Thanks!

Dynamically Loading Mp3's (Delay)
When I use this method (loadMovie) to call an mp3 I've noticed there is delay before the song begins to play. I've trimmed the songs so they start immediately so I'm assuming the delay is due to the file being located.

My question is there anyway around this? I'm thinking I will need to add some "loading" text if not but since I'm calling an mp3 I don't know how I'd attach a preloading animation to an mp3?

Any help would be greatly appreciatted.

I am trying to make a slideshow with 3 diefferent categories. The tabs below will show where the person currently is. I have set the slideshow so that once the movie is loaded I call another movie and load it into the stage. The tabs have the same function and each "refreshes" the stage and loads another movie (according to the category).

Once I start clicking and testing, the photos start to skip and it gets VERY buggy.

Class-loading Delay?
I'm working on a steadily expanding AS3 project, and I've run into a pretty annoying snag. I want a particular method of a certain class to execute on an ENTER_FRAME event, so I set up an event listener tied to the method. I get it to work, at first, then the compiler says it can't find the method on the class.

I have a hunch that I need to somehow delay the script until I have all the external classes loaded, but I'm not really sure how to do that. Can I make a loading bar for a script that never 'loads' anything, but imports external classes? Thanks!

Delay Flash Loading
I've got a bit of a problem. My site looks fine, the movie is good too, but there are some loading issues. Movie has a pre-loader, and it works, but is a small file (12K). My issue is that there is a navigation, and some design components that are plain images (JPG) and they tend to load slowly as the movie is loaded first. I need to know if there's a way that I can delay the load of the movie until the layout is complete.

Check out the site and see what I'm talking about.

Loading Items With A Slight Delay Between Each
Flash 8:

I have several buttons I am creating when loading from an XML document that contains their data. The clips all load and work well, but because there are many of them in a vertical row, I thought it would be interesting to load each one with a fade. So, I fade them in as I slide them to the left, which works fine, but they all do this at the same time.

Is there a way for me to somehow have the clips wait a bit before they start their own timeliness so there is a 1/2 second pause or something between items?

Because all of the clips are created at the start of the movie, I assume my solution must be in the time line for the individual clip instance.

I am lost as to the best method to do this. Thoughts?

Delay In Loading External Swfs
I have created a flash website. it is structured like so--a main swf and individual external swf pages loaded with loadMovie. the different pages are loaded onRelease of different buttons (so pretty much a normal structuring of a flash site haha). the problem is--for some reason there is a delay in the time between when i click on a button and when the actual page comes up with its preloader etc. the files aren't overly large or anything--and i have never encountered this problem with other sites i have made.

There is a hang time where nothing displays for about 2 to 3 seconds and then the loader bar for the page comes. almost like it takes a few seconds to find the swf and grab it.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks,

Lex

[F8] Gallery Swfs Loading DELAY-- Please Help
I have a gallery with a scrollpane that contains a movie clip of scrollable thumbnail image buttons that enlarge to full size to the left of the scrollpane by calling a different swf for each image.

The thumbnail buttons are activated on rollover, and so I want them to open right away, because if there is a delay, the user thinks it is an onclick button, which defeats the purpose of having it be a rollover.

This site is an example of how it should be:
http://ruthsteinberg.com/

and here is an example of the way mine works:

I have only made three of the bitmaps in the scrollpanel into buttons to save time: the top, the third down, and the fifth down.

What is causing the delay in opening???

Delay When Loading External Text
This pertains to the loadVars method I 've been tinkering with and hope to master very soon.

I'm determined to have my external .txt file load into my dynamic field without ANY DELAY WHATSOEVER.

It seemed like the onLoad method of the LoadVars object would handle this nicely, however it does not work for me.

I placed the following code on the first frame of my movie:

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("content.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
aboutrandi = this.about;
}
stop();

Then further along the timeline, I display content in my dynamic textfield by placing the following code:

my_mc.text = aboutrandi;

It displays fine but there's still a delay. I figured the content from my .txt file would be loaded by now (its 2KB in size and has html tags embedded).

Am I doing something wrong? How can I properly "preload" my external text?

The problem I have is that when I refresh the browser in IE on the PC, my swf breifly shows a "broken image" graphic before proceeding to my swf. This problem doesn't occur when I access the swf from the actual HTML generated by Flash.

IE: Works fine: http://qbedge.com/JB_FIH/qbedge-00.html

IE: slight delay, broken link graphic when you refresh:

What could be causing this to happen?
