Flash Site W/ Preloader.
Hello,
I've been thinking of taking this: http://thekingonline.net/fgsite/ and making a flash website out of it and I'd like to have a preloader incorporated when each page link is clicked...
What tutorials should I use in order to get this to work?..
Thank you,
Justin.

Where To Put A Preloader In A Flash Site
I've went thru a bunch of preloader tuturals and the one question that never gets answered is where do you put the preloader. Do you add it to your flash movie on the first cuple frames, or is it stand alone movie (fla), do you call for a html page, or a swf file. I can make it work with adding an image as all the tuturals do but I want it to load the first page in my flash web?

Where's The Flash Preloader In This Site?
Hi -
I'm curious about how a particular Flash site was built.
http://www.cultivatorads.com/
There don't seem to be any preloaders, unless the movement of the navigation is the preloader. Any thoughts on how the speed would be so fast or how it's constructed?
Thanks.

Flash Site Preloader Help
OK, I am new to flash, I have used it for about a day now.
I have created a flash site and posted on my web site and it works but I can not get the loaders to work. I have created multiple preloaders using tutorials, but I have no clue how to implement them into the site or the flash or whatever. I do not know what to do with the preloader or how to get it into the site to load my page.
If anyone can point me in th right direction I would appreciate it.

Flash Site And Preloader W/scenes
Hey all,
I'm redesigning my site to be completely flash. I have a problem though. When i create my flash site all my content is loaded in the first frame and thus makes my preloader unusable. So to get around this, I was thinking of using scenes. 1 preloader scene and then scenes for the site. I've never worked with scenes though so I don't have any idea how to do this or the actionscript for accessing different scenes. Can someone help with either an example or a point in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

% Loaded PRELOADER For 100% Flash Site
Hi! Please Please Help! I have created a large 100% flash site (mx pro 2004 v. 7, AS 2.0) and i'm having a heck of a time with the script for the preloader. I've tried a lot of different AS configurations, tutorials & my books but there's something I'm missing. The important thing is that the whole site (.swf) loads online without the preloader showing to entertain the viewer - then it zips through the preloader and on to the home page.
I have a 100 frame MC that I want to use as the preloading graphics and I want the playhead in the MC to correspond to the percent loaded. I have 2 scenes: preloader & content ("content" contains many frame labels). The preloader is a bomb with a fuse that travels on a path with a mask (plus the numerical percent in each frame ...lame, i know), when the site is loaded it is to advance to a small MC that is an explosion and then advance to frame label: "home" in scene, "content."
here is the code I have on the AS layer in frame 1/ scene: preloder (not sure if I need a stop at first- but that probably wouldn't be the only problem here anyway) - in another layer, I have the MC: "loadinclip" occupying 5 frames, after that is a key frame (6) on another layer that has the explosion, which occupies about 10 frames until I tell it to go to frame label, "home"
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.round(loaded/total*100);
_root.loadinclip.gotoAndStop(percent);
//trace(percent);
if (percent == 100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
_root.gotoAndPlay(6);
}
}
I've tried Math.floor ....but no
Anyone's help is soooo much appreciated!! I load nothing but the .html & .swf onto the server, it seems that no matter what I do the whole site loads then the preload graphics zip by and on to "home." I do a small amount of coding in dreamweaver after I publish in flash -just for the title & centering, is there something else I need to add at that point regarding the way that the .html calls upon the .swf? And the 'loadinclip' MC has a stop in frame 1 -should that be there?
here's what it looks like now (not centered)

PLEASE HELP!!! I BEG OF YOU!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

Flash Preloader & HTML Site
I succesfully completed my first Flash tutorial at Kirupa.com. I wanted a preloader for a site I would be doing for a student group. However, I am now stumped as to what to do with the .FLA file >_<
embeded the code using Dreamweaver MX, and It didn't come out the way I wanted at all.
My goal is to have the preloader come into effect, and once the site is loaded, for it to disappear and show my site. I don't have any clue on how to achieve this effect.
Here is the tutorial I followed [<a href="http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm">link</a>]. I am guessing I made the wrong type of preloader ?

External Swf Preloader For Flash Site...
What's the best preloader to use for an .swf file sitting in an empty container on a flash site?
I have a preloader that I tried using where it's a code that goes into one frame one, Scene 1 then in Scene 2 is where I have my movie clip sitting. When I play it on it's own, it works fine, but when I play it in my flash site because the .swf is sitting in an empty container as it plays, all I get is the preloader freaking out flipping back and forth from Scene 1 to Scene 2. I think it's because the preloader code in Scene 1 is trying to execute an empty container of it's own.
Okay, now that sounds confusing but my simple question is after searching for an answer on here but not really having success is...
What can I use as a preloader for a movie clip saved as an .swf file to load in an empty container within a flash site? I see it all the time, so I can't imagine it's tough to do. I have backgrounds that open with a click of a button in my flash site which work fine sitting as they are in an empty container as a .swf file, but when I add that preloader code in that .swf file as Scene 1 and mc in Scene 2 it freaks out. So is there a preloader code that sits all in one scene to save as an .swf to play in an empty container in a flash site?
Sorry if I repeated myself here, just want to make sure my question is clear.

Flash Site Takes WAY To Long, Have Preloader

My Average Flash Site + Preloader Question
Hi y'all.
i have this basic flash site that i'm working on... now i know its nothing special but i was wondering if someone could advise why the preloader is blank for the first 60% of loading & then becomes visible. . It does this everytime .
the preloader code is just your basic :
onClipEvent(load){
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
p = ""+percent+"%";
gotoAndStop (percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

Can I Use A Preloader / Loading Page If My Site Is NOT Flash?
Hello!
I'm soooo new in the world of Flash...
For the moment I have added a lot of flash movies into my main non-flash website. Especially in the homepage, which takes a bit to load. So I thought that a preloader would be nice.
But, from what I read so far, preloaders work when the ENTIRE site is flash (right?). What can I do to have a nice preloader movie while my home page loads up (with all the individual flash movies, images, etc.)?
Many thanks for your help!

Kirupa's Full Flash Site/no Preloader...
Okay here's another preloader question. I am building my first flash site, so I'm using the tutorial based from the Kirupa Full Flash Site tutorial...
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm
Only problem is, there's nothing mentioned from what I can see regarding how to implement a preloader for this site. I've used some preloaders and nothing is seeming to work with this setup. Has anybody used this tut for their setup and inserted a preloader that works with this setup and how to do that?? Thanks.

Making A Preloader For An Html Site With Flash Movies In It
Hi,
is it possible to make a preloader for a html site which has flash movies in it so that all the flash content is loaded before the site can be looked at?
i have been reading through the numerous threads about preloaders and think i've grasped what needs to be done but can't see how I would tell the preloader to open my index.html once all the flash movies had loaded?
Many thanks

Flash MX2004 Preloader Turtorial And Site Idea.
Hello in here.
This is my very first post. I am hopeing to become a frequent user of this forum since I think it hands out some rather good information.
I am very new to flash. Actually never made a single swf file yet. Beeing a webdesigner for some years now, I thought its about to move along and try and create a project in flash.
I am growing tired of the web browser boundaries, with some javascripts and some code not showing right in some browsers. I feel very limited often, so I turn to flash, since its loaded with a 3. party program, hopefully handling the visual things alittle more nice. Along with the fact that my webbanners dont have to be some 200k large animated-gif banners.
So where do I start?
I have this project in mind. It is more or less a simple task in my mind and when doing it only in html and javascripting. But now I turn to flash and I am one big "?"
Here is the plan in very short:
1. I have several large maps I would like to display
2. There have to be some mouseover effects on the images, like MAPS are done in html.
3. I have to have somewhat some "layer" effects I can be able to turn on/off in checkboxes. An example can be town names are not shown untill the user press the checkbox with townname as the title. Then the "layer" show.
All the maps should in some way be linked together. They are like 200k large in 60% quality jpgs.
----
Now.. I would like to start out by making a preloader. I used google for the last 3-4 hours, with only confusing results. Just to see in the end, all the turtorials where for just Flash MX. Some scripts endicated that they didnt work in Flash MX2004.
Since by map site will contain much information and will be large in k/bytes I have an idea that I have to split up the entire map site up in a swf for each map. Maybe im wrong?
I looked in these forum and saw some pretty nice turtorial on making some simple things. But its just abit to hard to cope with all the new info without some proper screenshots on the ongoing process.
I now have these few questions (wow I am getting a long post - which was certaintly not inteded).
How would any of you surgest I break up my site idea?
How and where can I find a good preloader turtorial that works with Flash MX2004. It have to contain a % bar and and simply not just run an animation saying "loading".. it have to be somewhat alittle more advanced, and to contain the "so-much%-is-complete-loading-bar".
Why do my first posts always scare away people so they squelsh me?
Best regards, Andy, Denmark.
Please by all means write your answer like you treat me as a newbee, becourse I am. Just booted flash, and waiting on some nice help, from a potentional forum

Problems Integrating Preloader + Full Flash Site Tutorials
This will probably be one of the stupidest questions ever but I'm very lost (I've searched already in the forums and I didn't find any answers for this...)
I've studied these two tutorials in order to start a flash site:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p...epreloader.htm
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm
First I've made the Preloader and it worked just fine. Then I've tried to add the " place where the external SWFs would load" (Full site tutorial item vi.) but when I tested it, it never worked (home.fla). So I've tried taking off the Preloader and moving everything to the first frame or the timeline (as you can see in works.fla) and it worked. So I'm guessing there's something wrong with my code that needs to specify that everything has to work/load in frame 3, right?
Well, I have no idea how to do that Any help?
Here I add links to the fla files. (I also add the main content .fla file for testing purposes.)
http://www.shouri.com.ar/kirupa/home.fla

Preloader/Site Problem
I've made a preloader with the following actions:
totalBytes = this.getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = this.getBytesLoaded();
remainingBytes = totalBytes-loadedBytes;
percentDone = int((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
bar.gotoAndStop(percentDone);
if (_framesloaded == _totalframes) {
nextScene();
}
The preloader works but when it gets to the next scene it wont get past the first frame. My page is currently at http://www.members.aol.com/jsimon456 so if someone could tke a look and let me know why it keep stopping at that place each time maybe?

My PreLoader Freezes The Web Site.
I built a simple preloader in the first scene of a flash movie and place it on a html page. The rest of the html page has an image header and an image footer. When the page tries to load on the web.....the preloader scene freezes and there is a Flash player error that states the script trying to run is complex and it is slowing the flash player too much.....it asks if I want to end the script. I click yes and it stays froozen until I end the task in the task manager.
Now, when the flash is grabbed by itself on the web, that is when it is not sitting on a html page....the movie works great and the preloader does it's job no porblem.
I am sure it has something to do with it being placed on the html page....not sure how to fix it though.
The script for the first frame of the preloader scene looks like this:
if (_framesloaded>=_totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay("Main", 1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay("Preloader", 1);
}
The script for the last frame of the preloader scene looks like this:
gotoAndPlay(1);
Any suggestions on whats going on would be greatly appreciated.

How Did This Site Get Such As Smooth Preloader?
http://thevillage.movies.go.com/
Check out the red stripe that they use as a loader. It always animates smoothly. How do they do this? Most percentage style loaders I've worked with jump and animate in a bumpy way, and not smooth like that.
I'm thinking that flash doesn't load things in an even way, hence, the percentage bar tends to jump around. Do you think on this site, the red stripe isn't actually a functional percentage loader? How would that work?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

Simple Preloader For My Site
It seems I have failed on the last hurdle of making my site and no matter how many tutorials I try I can not make my preloader work
I have what appears to be a preloader at the beggining of my site, but it is obviously set up wrong as it doesnt work at all and you can go into my site without it loading fully.
This is what it does at the moment..
LoveTheVoid
What I want it to do is wait till the whole movie is loaded before going onto the enter section.
I actually know that the actionscript I have written is wrong, I got it from a website tutorial and I dont know what to put in the gaps it tells me to write stuff... so far this is waht the action script looks like..
Frame 1:
iStatus=0;
setProperty("pBar",_xscale,0);
Frame 2:
//un-comment the lines 3 to 5 below, to calculate the actual file size
//remember to COMMENT frame 3 line 3 if your going to use below
//iBytesTotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
//iBytesLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
//iBytes = (iBytesLoaded/iBytesTotal)*100;
setProperty("pBar", _xscale, iBytes);
sStatus=iBytes add "%";
Frame 3:
if (iBytes<100) {
//Comment line 3 below if your using the iBytesTotal and iBytesLoaded in frame 2 line 3 to 5
iBytes=iBytes+2;
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
sStatus='100%'
gotoAndPlay(4);
}
Frame 4:
//Load your next action below
sStatus='100%'
gotoAndPlay(nextScene);
I am using Flash MX and have no idea what I actually have to write in these sections.
I'd be very greatful for anyone that can help as I need to have this site up and running asap

Preloader And Site With Many Swfs
hi all,
ive searched the forum but i didnt find any interesting answer to my question. sorry if this issue is somewhere in the forum.
so my question is - can i have external (or even internal) preloader that loads whole site. ive got a site that is main.swf which loades into scrollpane following swfs: news.swf, lessons.swf, contact.swf and info.swf.
now my deal is to make a preloader that exists before main.swf and loads all of the stuff (main,news,lessons,contact,info) to prevent visitors from noticin a choppy loading/animation in both of those swfs.
the loader would be external swf - loader.swf, that i will place on the html site, and it would load main.swf after finishin loadin all the swfs,
or the loader would be included to main.swf.
so - how to do it?
please help me ^^

[CS3] Combining 2 .fla's Into 1? (preloader + Site)
Hi guys, I haven't been using Flash for very long, and I only know some basic stuff...with the help of others I was able to create a preloader, as well as a website made both in Flash. However, both are separate files, but I would like to somehow use them together so that the preloader is displayed originally to show the load progress of the website.
Now, my guess is that I somehow have to combine the 2 of them as 2 separate scenes, the first being the preloader and the second being the website...but I'm not sure if that's right, and even if it is I don't know how to do it.
Could someone please explain to me what I need to do in order to use these both together? Thanks!

Preloader (on An Un-embedded Site)
My flash site is not embedded on an html, which make it easier for the site to resize to everyone's resolution. I'm running into problems with the browsers though. Firefox will display the preloader while IE just shows a blank screen. Safari on the Mac will even show it correctly. Is there a reason why IE does this? Is there some kind of work around? I really don't want to put the flash site on an HTML page, I had a previous layout like that and making different site size versions was very tedious.

How Did This Site Get Such As Smooth Preloader?
http://thevillage.movies.go.com/
Check out the red stripe that they use as a loader. It always animates smoothly. How do they do this? Most percentage style loaders I've worked with jump and animate in a bumpy way, and not smooth like that.
I'm thinking that flash doesn't load things in an even way, hence, the percentage bar tends to jump around. Do you think on this site, the red stripe isn't actually a functional percentage loader? How would that work?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks,

Preloader For An Entire Site?
I'm trying to find a way where I can do a preloader for my whole site... but what keeps happening is that it doesn't show up until I'm my site is 75% or so downloaded. What's going on?!?!?! Can someone please help me with this. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but it's VERY VERY ANNOYING!!!!
I just want a preloader that shows the entire downloading process, not just the last 25% of it....someone help...PLEASE!!!!

Preloader For External Site.
G'day.
I read around in the tutorials department and found the preloader for an external site, but I don't think it will do what I want it to do. It probably will, but I'm not good enough to know which bits of code to chop out and stuff. All I want to do is have a percentage preloader for an external site uploaded to a site, and when loaded, go to the site. Is this possible?

From Preloader To Actual Site
I completed the basic layout of the site, and added a preloader at the beginning. However, the "movement" from the preloader to the actual site isn't all that smooth. After the preloader finishes, the site just suddenly appears, and it just doesn't look right.
Does anyone know what I could do to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot.

Using A Preloader In A Dynamic Site?
How do you use a preloader when you are dynamically loading swf's?? Could someone please explain how you do this...PLEASE...
For example I have the script in the main movie loading all the other swf's dynamically, but the actual swf's that are being loaded have the preloader script on the 1st frame of each movie...and this seems to be causing the problem...
This is the code in the main movie 1st frame...
Code:
stop();
//
//
// Set up the MovieClipLoader object and its listener
my_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
my_listener = new Object();
my_listener.onLoadComplete = function(movieClip) {
trace("Loading is done for "+movieClip);
};
my_listener.onLoadError = function(movieClip) {
trace("Error: "+movieClip+" did not load anything.");
trace("Your load failed for "+movieClip);
};
my_mcl.addListener(my_listener);
//
//
// Setup the TextField.StyleSheet object
my_ss = new TextField.StyleSheet();
// Tell the CSS what to do when loaded
my_ss.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("myStyle.css loaded");
} else {
trace("myStyle.css did not load");
}
};
my_ss.load("styles/myStyle.css");
//
//
// Setup the LoadVars object
my_lv = new LoadVars();
my_lv.load("text/my_vars.txt");
my_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
gotoAndStop("Animation");
} else {
trace("Load Failed");
}
};
my_lv.getHome = function() {
return this.homeVar;
};
my_lv.getAbout = function() {
return this.stuffVar;
};
Then this is the code in the "Animation" frame of the main movie that loads the external swf dynamically...
Code:
// Use the MovieClipLoader from frame 1 to load some movieclips.
my_mcl.loadClip("animation.swf", "main_mc_container");
my_mcl.loadClip("navigation.swf", "navigation_mc_container");
Then for example this is the script that runs the preloader script in the movie that is being loaded dynamically into the main movie
Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(5);
}

Replace Site Preloader With New?
Hi folks...
Ohh man i need help.. Im a newbi, but still i have spend the last 6 hours to make a new preloader work in a flash template which has it own preloader.
Im not talking about the preloader for the site, but for loading the external swf in between. The buttons/menu are loaded via xml. And when you click on a button, it loads a external swf and this is where the preloader works.
Here is the preloader for the site:
Code:
onEnterFrame=function(){
top=_root.yukle.getBytesTotal();
yukle=_root.yukle.getBytesLoaded();
yuzde=Math.round(yukle/top*100);
bar._xscale=yuzde;
kutu=""+yuzde;
if(yuzde==100){
_visible=false;
}else{
_visible=true;
}
}
So it seems simpel, it just loads and after load it clear it self.
The next code here is for a cool preloader i got from flashden. But it is made so that, after the preloader has loaded, it will play the frames afterwards. I just want it as the above preloader, so it just loads the external swf.
Here is the code for the new preloader:
Code:
stop();
// Function for fading out objects
function fadeOut(){
// Reduce opacity
this._alpha-=5;
// Check to see if the clip has been faded out all the way, if so remove the script
if(this._alpha<=0){
// Set opacity all the way down
this._alpha=0;
// Set the visible to false
this._visible=false;
// Play next frame
play();
// Kill the enterframe script
this.onEnterFrame=null;
}
}
// Start the preloading
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
// Variable for how much is downloaded
dataLoaded=this.getBytesLoaded();
// Variable for the total file size
totalData=this.getBytesTotal();
// Variable that calculates the percentage downloaded
percentData=Math.round(100/totalData*dataLoaded);
// Animate the preloader. The preloader clip itself it 100px wide
preloader_mc.gotoAndPlay(percentData);
// Update the text field with the percentage downloaded
preloader_mc.percent1_mc.percent_txt.text=percentData+"%";
preloader_mc.percent2_mc.percent_txt.text=percentData+"%";
// Check to see if the movie is downloaded
if(percentData>=100){
// Play to the next frame
preloader_mc.gotoAndStop(100);
// Fade out the preloader and the text field
preloader_mc.onEnterFrame=fadeOut;
// Get rid of this enterframe script
this.onEnterFrame=null;
}
}
I really hope someone can help me with this. Im going crazy
Regards Hrbi
