My Preloader Doesn't Work
My preloader has been working properly until this time, and I don't understand why because I didn't even receive an error message.
My codes is
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

My Preloader Still Doesn't Work?
Hmm... I've redone my flash, everything seems to work unlike in the past, which most of my buttons are messed up *grin*
But still, i still have this problem with my preloader...
The flash seems to be stuck in the preloader screen and even thou it's fully loaded, it just won't proceed to the other page. Can anyone check to see if there's any mistake which I've made?
Thanks
the *.fla file is located in http://web.singnet.com.sg/~ongzilla/preload.fla
while my flash is situated in http://web.singnet.com.sg/~ongzilla/index.swf

My Preloader Doesn't Work On A MAC?
Does anyone know where I can find a preloader that works on a MAC and on a PC? Currently it only works on a PC.
Here's the code I'm using at the moment..
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
var bytes_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (bytes_loaded >= bytes)
{
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
else
{
percentage = Math.floor(((bytes_loaded/bytes)*100))
myVar = percentage + "%"
}
}

Preloader Doesn't Work Anywhere
i've tried numerous preloaders to use in my flash movies, all of which i know work because i've seen them in action, but when i create a preloader in my movie, nothing preloads...the screen just stays white and then displays my flash movie after everything has loaded, but never shows the preloading screen...i've put the preloader in a scene before my main movie...i've put the preloader in the same timeline as my main movie...i've even made a preloader that loads an external movie...the external one is the one i've had the most luck with, but after the percentage reaches 100, it just sits there for about 8 seconds or so, and then displays my main movie...i don't know if it's the way i designed my movies or what, but i can't get any preloader to display the percentage loaded or anything before my main movie shows up...here is my external preloader -> preloader ...after it reaches 100, it'll hang there for about 8 seconds, then display my movie...if anyone can help me out as to why my preloaders don't show anything but a white screen, i would greatly appreciate it...

Preloader Doesn't Work
I have an swf file as the main page and inside of it I load another
swf file into a blank area and inside of it another swf...
I try to make a preloader for each one of the swf by having another scene with the preloader on each one of the movies - this is the code I use in the first frame
bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = getPercent*271.6;
_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
and this code in the second frame of the preloader scene:
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
..But it works only for the main movie? why and how can I use it for all the others?

Preloader.. Doesn't Work >.>
I've put a preloader in a flash of mine, it's small.. but the preloader doesn't seem to work..
if I look at it in a browser.. it remains white.. and then suddenly there's my swf file.
however I did put in a preloader.
code:
ifFrameLoaded ("end") {
gotoAndPlay ("start");
}
in frame 1-5
and another layer with a little loop that links back so it keeps looping
that's also frame 1-5
and in frame 6 is the "start" but it just doesn't show at all..
I mean if it's small only like 200 KB.. but even then if it would've been done loading it'd show immediatly.. I wouldn't have to wait for it but now I do without the preloader..

Why Doesn't My Preloader Work?
I've had this problem tons of times before, and i still don't know how to fix it. The code should be fine, since i basically copied and pasted it. Furthermore, the preloader worked spontaneoulsly during some test runs (about every other time) without me changing anything. Can anybody help me?

My Preloader Doesn't Work
I am new to flash and I am almost done creating my site however, i can not get the preloader to work. I am using the following tutorial: http://www.actionscript.org/resource...der/Page1.html
The only difference with my preloader is the dimensions and that my bar is positioned vertically on the screen. thus i updated the loadBar._width = per*5.74; to suite. However when i publish it, nothing happens, the loading bar does not grow and the percentage does not show. I attached the code to the preloader movie clip. Any ideas as to why this is not working???
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per*5.74;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(2);
}

HELP My Preloader Doesn't Work
Greetings. I'm having trouble getting a pre-loader to work. I have an external .swf file that I'm trying to load into an empty movie clip. This is my first time using MovieClipLoader and while onLoadStart and onLoadComplete seem to work onLoadProgress is skipped right over. My code is below and it will probably look familiar since I got it from this site. The traces come up in the output window indicating the start and the complete but all the things that should happen in the progress portion seem to get skipped right over.
many thanks in advance to anyone who can check into this for me. I'm about to go nuts!
bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;
var empty = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "50");
empty._x = 35;
empty._y = 70;
my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
preload = new Object();
my_mc.addListener(preload);
preload.onLoadStart = function(targetMC) {
trace("started loading "+targetMC);
container._visible = false;
bar._visible = true;
border._visible = true;
pText._visible = true;
}
preload.onLoadProgress = function(targetMC, lBytes, tBytes) {
bar._width = (lBytes/tBytes)*100;
pText.text = "% "+Math.round((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
}
preload.onLoadComplete = function(targetMC) {
container._visible = true;
border._visible = false;
bar._visible = true;
pText._visible = true;
trace(targetMC+" finished");
}
btnOne.onPress = function (){
my_mc.loadClip("bk1_mov.swf", "container");

Preloader Doesn't Work...
Hello all,
This is the second time that I have had this problem . When I add a preloader to a flash movie that I gave made, it does not work. When you test the movie it just sits there and blinks really fast. Sometimes it works if you hit ctrl+enter a second time. I even tried to upload it to my site and it still would not work.
Here is a link to an SWF: http://www.webcontinuum.com/menu.swf
Here is the code that I placed on the movie clip that does the counting:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
bytes_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (bytes_loaded == bytes) {
_root.gotoAndStop("frame1");
} else {
stop();
this.loader = "("+bytes_loaded+"/"+bytes+")";
}
}
I can also upload the fla if needed. Anyhelp is very much apreciated!

Preloader Doesn't Really Work
I have a main movie...and when you click on a button there, it loads a new swf into a blank movie clip. I have two of these, each with a preloader...one is the guitar dude on the "home page" the other is under "what we create". One works where you can see it loading....the other...the CREATE one, waits before it even loads the movie. I know this movie is larger, but shouldn't the preloader work?
Location of movie:
http://www.rookscommunications.com
Here is the loading code:
1st frame:
percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100);
myOutput.text = percent + "% is loaded";
2nd frame:
if (percent == 100){
gotoAndPlay(3);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Any suggestions?...so as to avoid the nothingness after you click.
Thanks!

Bar Preloader Doesn't Work...help With Script
hey...i know this is probably a stupid question, but i wanna know how you create just a normal percentage bar preloader...
what i've done is got a movie clip, with a bar that i've tweened over 100 frames to show it growing, and i've got a stop action on frame 1 of the clip!...then i've added this script to the first frame of the main timeline:
if (_root.getBytesTotal()>0) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.ceil((loaded/total)*100);
_root.bar.gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}
plus in frame 2, i put a gotoAndPlay (1) action...
i got this from another thread within the boards, but i doesnt seem to work for my movie when i uploaded it...
check this out on http://www.breakinankles.co.uk/version4/testpage.html
please!
so, can anyone walk me through the steps of how to create a bar preloader that shows how much of the movie has loaded, and one that actually works...please?????

Preloader Doesn't Want To BLEEEEP Work :(
Ok .. so this is my last hope ... coz i'm giving up on it... I have a movie... with buttons and movieclips. Now i have a button which opens an external movieclip into a movieclip in the main movie(thus having an kind of window in anotherwindow) I am trying to make a prelaoder for this external movieclip, so that it only opens after is has fully loaded. For this i put on the main timeline a loading text and a dynamic box which shows the %
I am using this
on (release) {
mm.loadMovie("home.swf", mainmovie);
}
on (release) {
percentloaded = Math.floor(mm.getBytesLoaded()/mm.getBytesTotal()*100);
percentdisplay = percentloaded+"%";
if (percentloaded == 100 && !initialized) {
initialized = true;
_visible = false;
}
}
now when i use this the % thingie doens't work and i get a NaN% instead of it nothing loads and it stops there.
but when i use this
on (release) {
loadMovie("home.swf", mainmovie);
}
on (release) {
percentloaded = Math.floor(_level2.getBytesLoaded()/_level2.getBytesTotal()*100);
percentdisplay = percentloaded+"%";
if (percentloaded == 100 && !initialized) {
initialized = true;
_visible = false;
}
}
the nan%still shows but the thing laods.... the funny thing is that the _level2 can be cahnged to _level1 or _level11 it doesnt matter what ever that is coz it still laods...
Can anyone help me please????

Preloader Doesn't Work On All Browsers
Flash MX
The preloader is in the main timeline of the top movie.
When a link is clicked (bikes, parts, home) the preloader runs and the loading movie (load_content) plays frame 2 when it is loaded.
This works fine on my windows XP machine using IE 6.
Doesn't seems to work (very well) on:
Netscape Nav 7 - Windows XP
Netscape Communicator 4.7 - Mac OS 9.2.2
Doesn't work at all on:
IE 5.1 - Mac OS 9.2.2
Preloader Script:
Preloader Script:
Frame 1:
play();
Frame 2:
loadedbytes = _root.load_content.getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = _root.load_content.getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/100);
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/100);
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
Frame 3:
_root.preloader.loader.gotoAndStop(frame);
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
_root.load_content.gotoAndPlay(2);
gotoAndStop("stop");
}
Frame 4:
gotoAndPlay(1);
Frame 5:
stop();
Please take a look at my site (currently under development) and report on how it performs on your os/browser. Any suggestions on how to make this script more compatibale accross all browsers/platforms are welcome.
It seems that the
loadedbytes = _root.load_content.getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = _root.load_content.getBytesTotal();
in frame 2 of the preloader are not returning the variables (on all browsers).
Thanks.

Preloader Doesn't Work With Big Swfs
Hi all,
I composed a simple preloader using a progress bar:
//for the bar
this._xscale = (_parent.getBytesLoaded()/_parent.getBytesTotal())*100);
if (this._xscale > 99) {
with (_parent) {
play ();
}
}
and it works great on small swf files. the problem is that i have and 80k swf file where it only works during the last 5% or so. the pieces of the loader (text and the loader bar) don't even show up until this point. does anyone have any idea why this is? if so, i'd really appreciate any help you can give.

Preloader Doesn't Work When Using Loadmovie....help
Hey all,
I'm creating a site and when a button is pressed in the menu it loads a movie into an MC. And in the movie that's loaded I'm using a bar and percentage preloader.
Now when I test only the movie, that is not throught the menu, the preloader works fine.
But when I use it through the menu and with the loadmovie action, the preloader just jumps to 100% and stops there until the movie is loaded and then continues, in other words the preloader is pointless. Here's the preloader I'm using:
http://www.actionscripts.co.uk/tutorials/kimholland/01/
Does anybody have any clue of what I could do?

Preloader Doesn't Work With LoadMovie
hi!
I am creating a website and I have a main .swf file that loads other .swf files when needed. for each swf file I have created a preloader and all of them work fine individually (if I open the swf file directly).
The problem is when I make the loadMovie from the main swf, the file loads fine but jumps the preloader!!?? the animations starts imediatly and freeze when they have bigger things to load!
the preloaders are in a scene and have the folowing code:
bytesloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
bytestotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
percent= int(( bytesloaded / bytestotal ) * 100);
if(bytesloaded == bytestotal) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
else {
loadBar.gotoAndStop(percent);
}
I have read the other topic about preloading and loadmovie but I decided to post here because the problem is different.
Thanks a lot
please help, it's really really urgent!!

Preloader Doesn't Work In Firefox
hello,
I couldnt figure out why I couldnt get a simple preloader to work. I had been testing in firefox, and then tried it in explorer and it works fine. It has to do with the way I'm referencing the movies size.....when I do a trace in IE the variable bytes_total gives me a value of 99919 (which is correct) but in firefox it gives me a value of 0
Code:
frame 1
loadMovie("ext/images/entrees.jpg",placeholder);
frame 2
bytes_loaded = Math.round(placeholder.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(placeholder.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
loadPercent = Math.round(getPercent*100);
loadPercent2 = loadPercent + "%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
gotoAndPlay(4);
}
frame 3
gotoAndPlay(2);
any input in the matter would really help me out
thanks

Heeeeeelp Preloader Doesn't Work On The Net
i have some pages that i used pictures as a background in them, these backgrounds got to be min 1024x768 so they are large files that decrease the speed of loading the site's content.. so i wanted to make a flash file that is an intro to the whole the site where i can load 2 or 3 backgrounds then they are saved in the temporary internet files so when entering the site after the flash is loaded the backgrounds are loaded instantly and thouigh the site's browsing speed increases...
the flash file goes like this.. a loading text, a loading bar (instance name 'bar') and an Mx.components.loader(instance name 'load1'), i set the path to "backgrounds/image1.jpg" (it's where the background is(suppose we are loading only one)) then set it's visibilty=false..two dynamic text boxes, one with instance name 'loaded' and one with instance 'total'.. then put all of the controls in 2 consequtive frames, without any stop or goto commands, so the flash goes between the 2 frames endessly.. so i can wright the code in the frames, and here the code goes like this :
Code:
var i=this._parent.load1.getBytesLoaded();
var i2=this._parent.load1.getBytesTotal();
var p=Math.floor(i/i2);
this.bar._width=p*173.3;
loaded.text=i/1024;
total.text=i2/1024;
if(p==1)
{
getURL("index.aspx");
}
I test the movie on my computer and it works just fine... the contents are loaded and the loaded KBytes keep increasing every second till it's equal to the total Kbytes and then the link is redirected, just as i wanted. Then i upload it on the server.. and open it from my browser, it doesnb't work at all, the bar's width is 0, and the textboxes are like this 0 / 0.0001231355 alot of numbers like that and sometimes it's Nan/Nan, i don't get it ? how this happens ? why does it work on my computer ?

Preloader Doesn't Work On Flash 8
Hi all,
I've been looking for a preloader that works in flash 8 in all kind of forums for the past 2 hours and I can't seem to find it.
I have this code in a preloader movieclip with another mc called loadBar and a dynamic text with a variable called percentage inside. And this is the code I have on it:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
I took it from another thread and it works fine when exported as flash player 6 and 7 but when I try it with Flash 8 it doesn't... it stays stopped in 0%. I don't know why, and I can't seem to figure it out. I only want to preload the general movie in which I charge the others and I'm getting desperate.
Thanks for the future help!
PS. I'm attaching the movie that I found in the other thread (in flash 4 and 5 forum I think). Please try to publish it in flash player 8 to see what I mean

Preloader For Sound - Doesn't Work
I have 3 frame animation. First frame looks like this:
this.stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
var loadedbytes:Number = getBytesLoaded();
var totalbytes:Number = getBytesTotal();
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
_root.loader.gotoAndStop(_root.frame);
if (loadedbytes >= totalbytes) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}
"loader" is a movie clip with one layer and 100 frames motion tween.
Second frame has only "gotoAndPlay(1);";
Third frame has a set of sound controls (taken from Flash F1 Help) and this code:
var song_sound:Sound = new Sound();
song_sound.attachSound("MrJack-Filmowa.mp3");
song_sound.setVolume(40);
if(!isPlaying){
song_sound.stop();
soundstop.gotoAndStop(10);
}
volume_mc.top = volume_mc._y;
volume_mc.bottom = volume_mc._y;
volume_mc.left = volume_mc._x;
volume_mc.right = volume_mc._x + 100;
volume_mc._x += 40;
volume_txt.text = 40;
volume_mc.handle_btn.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this._parent, false, this._parent.left, this._parent.top, this._parent.right, this._parent.bottom);
};
volume_mc.handle_btn.onRelease = function() {
stopDrag();
var level:Number = Math.ceil(this._parent._x - this._parent.left);
this._parent._parent.song_sound.setVolume(level);
this._parent._parent.volume_txt.text = level;
};
volume_mc.handle_btn.onReleaseOutside = volume_mc.handle_btn.onRelease;
soundstop.onPress = function () {
if(isPlaying){
song_sound.stop();
soundstop.gotoAndPlay(10);
isPlaying = false;
}else{
song_sound.start(0,4);
soundstop.gotoAndPlay(1);
song_sound.setVolume(60);
isPlaying = true;
}
}
stop();
Preloader doesnt work (doesnt show). The strange thing is, that if i use this preloader for a picture or sth else than sound, it works ok.
What's the problem?

Preloader+loadMovie=doesn't Work
Hello all,
I am working on a mini folio for my website. I have a main movie into which I am loading individual projects. I have a preloader with each project and what is happening is when I put the files on the server, the preloader will load to 100%, but not go to the next frame to show the project? Works like a dream locally of course. To see it online check out: http://www.erikwallace.com/folio/
Here is the code I am using for the preloader:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
mctotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
mcloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
mcpercent = Math.round((mcloaded / mctotal) * 100);
display = mcpercent + "%";
progress_mc._xscale = mcpercent;
if (mcpercent == 100) {
_root.play();
}
}
Thanks to everyone for looking!

This is the fist site I make and it doesn't seem to work very well. The main problem is that the gallery ("imagenes") is quite big and it takes some time to load, it has a preloader but it doesn't appear until 70% of the movie is loaded.
How can I make the preloader appear when I click the button to open the gallery?
My site is:

Tnkx for the help

Even With Working Preloader, It Doesn't Work
Hey guys,
I'm trying to preload a bunch of swf's and audio files. I got the preloader to preload 20% of each external swf and audio file which load together. However, even after the preloading, the swf takes a couple seconds to load and consequently is not in sync with the audio. Could this be b/c the swf is 1.3 mg large? I would think that preloading 20% of a file would allow for full streaming eventhough the files is so large.
Any ideas on how to make my swf sync with my audio?
In case you're wondering, my preloader preloads the video first, if the video preloads 20%, then I check if the audio is at 20%, if it is, then I go to the frame.
I hope this wasn't too confusing .

Preloader Actionscript Doesn't Work On Macintosh?
I recently constructed a one scene Flash site with a 'totalbytes' and 'getbytes' preloader (code below). The swf file plays fine on both platforms (PC-n-Mac). BUT the problem is that the preloader loops when published and played in a Mac Browser. It will not advance to the correct frame when loaded (frame 16). I have read numerous reviews on Java and FS errors on Mac browsers, will the 'getBytesLoaded' work on Mac browsers?
loadedbytes = getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/1024);
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/1024);
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
stopAllSounds ();
gotoAndStop (16);
}
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
tellTarget (_root.loader) {
gotoAndStop (_root.frame);
}
Does this type of preloader / script work only on a PC browser? or is there something wrong w/ my script?
Note: Both browsers on my mac are current versions.
Thanks in advance for any help--Marcos

Preloader With External Movie Doesn't Work, Help Please
This simplistic loader does not work with an external movie loaded into level1 from level0 with this command:
loadMovieNum ("image.swf", 1);
(Image.swf movie frames)
FRAME 1:
ifFrameLoaded (5) {
gotoAndPlay (5);
}
FRAME 2:
gotoAndPlay (1);
FRAME 5:
The Image and a stop command
It does some funky stuff on level0. What needs to be changed so I can use this on my level1 movie?
Thanks

Bar Preloader In External Swf Doesn't Work Correctly
Prologue:
1) what's wrong with my preloader script?
or
2) is this a known issue with MAC OS9/IE5
and
3) and how can I test preloaders when they are in external .swfs
Developing on Windows98 and Flash 5)
My preloader, (which is script taken from PeachPit Press' Macromedia Flash5 Advanced book) does the following when viewed on a 56K modem/MacOS9/IE5:
It loops several times, then proceeds to SLOWLY run the preloader bar incrementally, except that it's now godawful slow. You can view it at our test site:
http://mccay.hitchcock.org/ADL/summi...dings/joe.html
the live version seems to load just fine on a dial-up (it doesn't yet include the preloader, and makes me wonder if a preloader is necessary for this one, but I want to know what makes this happen anyway...). It is here:
http://iml.dartmouth.edu/ADL/summit/...dings/joe.html
How I built it:
I used one main .swf which contains the non-changing components and title sequence (as a MC) and several external .swfs which contain the audio and timed text which are loaded and unloaded depending on which frame you are in of the main .swf.
I used external .swfs because, it was easier to time the text to the audio, and a little bird once told me that Flash degrades audio when it's put into an MC. Plus, Flash crashed every time I tried to export a movie with 11 minutes of streaming audio!
The popup menu ("Jump to Section") is also and external .swf which is loaded into level2.
Our network is too fast for me to test this project at work (and I read that the bandwidth profiler doesn't help with external .swfs), so I must go home for a slow connection, so i can never tell until that evening if what I've done has fixed the problem. Or if it's a problem that only occurs with a limited number of OS/IE combinations (I've encountered other funny little mac issues). So any comments on a better way to test a preloader in this situation are also helpful.
Here's the object script of my preloader, in the first frame of each external .swf:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root._framesloaded>=_root._totalframes) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("thisMovie");
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(Math.floor((_root._framesloaded/_root._totalframes)*this._totalframes));
}
}
the preloader itself is simply a bar which has a motion tween and 20 frames, and a stop() on the last frame. Incidentally, there is also a stop() in the same frame as the preloader MC.
Thanks! Regrets for the blandness of the content. Not my choice!

Preloader Loads But Next Scene Doesn't Work Right
Ok, I'm puttin a preloader on this flash file right. Well it seems to work right and loads the next scene, but when the next scene plays none of the motion tweening works. The music plays, the movie clips animate, but they don't do any motion from the places they are supposed to come from (if that makes any sense.) Most the to stuff starts at 0 alpha and slowly comes to 100% and slides into the screen. But once the preloader goes to the next scene, everything is already up on the screen at 100%????
I used one of the preloader Tutorials on this site and it all seems to work...
loadedbytes = getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/1000);
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/1000);
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
nextScene ();
}
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
tellTarget (_root.loader) {
gotoAndStop (_root.frame);
}
But like i said before, when the next scene comes up it doesn't show correctly, no motion in it. Am i missing something obvious? I've even changed the if statement to gotoandplay frame 1 of preloader scene and it still does the same effect.
HELP! I'm clueless.

Why Doesn't My Preloader Work In Flash Player 6?
I found & have been using for months, a good example of loading multiple SWF's into multiple levels (completing each swf preload before moving to the next, and managing the task lisk via an array). Unfortunately, while it worked fine in Flash 5 player, I've had very intermittent functionality with Flash 6 player! Can anyone tell me why the following seemed to work fine in F5P & not in F6P?
The problem is that sometimes (but not always), when viewed in F6P, the loader finishes & the music starts playing, but the splash animation doesn't start (leaving you stuck on loader). To make me pull my hair out, other times (after clearing cache) it works fine. Typically it works best if you've been there & haven't cleared the internet cache.
Hopefully the following code from my loader.swf will help someone figure out if it's a loader issue or if something in my splash.swf would be interfering.
Thanks!
---
Frame 1:
Code:
// provide a list with all your movies to load and the levels to load into
moviearray = new Array("flash/audioloop.swf", 100, "flash/splash.swf",2);
// set the index of the first movie to load
actMovieIdx = 0;
// set the initial values of the loading movie display counters
fileNum = 1;
fileNumber = 0;
// provide a list with all the layman's terms for files being loaded
movieKindArray = new Array("audio","splash");
------
Frame 2:
Code:
// get the next moviename and level
moviename = moviearray[actMovieIdx++];
movielevel = moviearray[actMovieIdx++];
// load the given movie
loadMovieNum (moviename, movielevel);
movieKind = movieKindArray[fileNumber];
fileNumber = fileNum++ ;
----
Frame 3:
(blank - this frame allows time to pass)
----
Frame 4:
Code:
// get the actual loaded bytes
actBytes = eval("_level" add movielevel).getBytesLoaded() || 0;
// get the total bytes to load
totBytes = eval("_level" add movielevel).getBytesTotal() || 100;
// calculate the percentage loaded
percent = Math.round(actBytes*100/totBytes);
if (totBytes-actBytes>10) {
// more bytes available, keep on loading
gotoAndPlay (3);
} else if (actMovieIdx<moviearray.length) {
// if we got more movies to load
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
// else go to frame 5
-------
Frame 5:
Code:
// ready, go - here starts your movie
Frame 6:
Code:
// start audio
_level100.gotoAndPlay(2);
// start splash at beginning
_level2.gotoAndPlay(2);
stop ();

External Preloader Doesn't Work In Browser
Hello,
I've got a preloader for an exernal jpg using the following code:
percent = Math.floor(myClip.getBytesLoaded()/myClip.getBytesTotal()*100);
result = percent + "% is loaded";
if (percent == 100){
gotoAndStop(3);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
works fine when i test the movie, but when I test it in a browser the preloader doesn't work.
Anyone have a similar problem?
Cheers!

Preloader Problem - It Just Doesn't Work Online
Hello all,
Im using Flash MX and I'm fairly new to all this so I've been doing a few magazine tutorials and some tutorials on here too and I've knocked out this site for a friend Focus which works fine and is easy to update. And yes I know the initial page needs a lot of tidying but I'll get there
The problem I have is my preloader, I've used a mag to help me do preloader for the pictures once you are into the main site here which works fine when i test it through flash but doesn't work online. Have I missed something simple? Here is my code and I've attached the souce file for you to have a look at...
// find out how much data is loaded
count = int(_root.getBytesLoaded()/1024)+"KB";
total = int(_root.getBytesTotal()/1024)+"KB";
percentage = int((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)+"%";
status = "Loading...";
// set the x scale of the loadbar
loadbar_size = int((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
setProperty("loadbar", _xscale, loadbar_size);
// check if all data is loaded
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() != _root.getBytesTotal()) {
gotoAndPlay("loading");
} else {
percentage = "100%";
status = "loaded";
setProperty("loadbar", _xscale, "100");
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
}
I hope someone can help me
Thanks for any comments too!

My Preloader Doesn't Work Anymore In MX04.
Worked fine in MX but now in MX04 it just sits there and gives me a funny number in the percent text field when I test the movie. Here's my code on my MC.
code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
I wanted to use the preloader component but the documentation explaining how to use it sucks, so I gave up on it. Lol. And now this, ahhhh.

Preloader Doesn't Work When Loaded Into Another Movie
There must be a simple explanation for this. Can someone help me?
I have a main.swf and a child.swf. The child.swf is loaded into the main.swf using the loadMovie method. The preloader script is in the child.swf and works fine when the child.swf is run by itself, but doesn't work when loaded into the main.swf. Any ideas? I'm using Flash 5 mx.

Preloader Doesn't Work At High Speed Kb/s
I have a very weird problem:
I have created a preloader to load my swf with my soundfiles.
When I test it (double Ctrl-Enter) it works fine when the speed is 56K. But the minute I try something faster, like DSL, the preloader skips to frame 3 while the swf with the soundfiles load in the background.
Any ideas would be highle appreciated!
the script:
code:
onClipEvent (load) {
loadMovie("eksternLyd.swf",_root.lydMC);
//_root.lydMC.loadMovie("eksternLyd.swf");
_root.loadedLyd=1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.loadedLyd==1) {
total = _root.lydMC.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.lydMC.getBytesLoaded();
if (total>999999999 && loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
} else {
percent = loaded/total*264;
displayPercent = math.round(percent)+"%";
progressBar1.bar1._width = percent;
}
}
}
(the 999999999 is just to test...)

Preloader Doesn't Work On Internet Explorer
Hi
I need some help. I have created an animation that includes a preloader. It looks like the odometer of a car measuring the speed, but in my case it measure how much the movie has been loaded. (It goes from 0 to 105Km/h)
For some strange reason on Internet Explorer it only appears on the screen when it has finished loading the movie (displaying 105km/h or 100% loaded) and then continue with the movie. However it works fine on Firefox.
I have this code on the first stage of the movie:
Code:
fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
fscommand ("showmenu", "false");
fscommand ("allowscale", "false");
setProperty ("_root.Bar", _xscale, 0);
_level0.load = "Buffering Data...";
stop();
I have a movie clip that move the speed indicator from 0 to 105km/h and have
Code:
stop()
in every 15 frames. So the idea is that the indicator moves every 15km/h.
To archieve that I have a movie clip with the following actions:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
total = int(_root.getBytesTotal());
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
maxSpeed = 105;
StatusColor = new Color(_root.Bar);
Loaded = int(_root.getBytesLoaded());
speed = int(loaded/total*maxSpeed);
_level0.load = speed+" km/h";
_root.odometer.gotoAndPlay(speed);
StatusColor.setRGB(0xf6f6f6);
if (_root.odometer._currentframe>=speed) {
_root.odometer.gotoAndStop(speed);
}
if (speed>=maxSpeed) {
_root.odometer.gotoAndStop(maxSpeed);
_root.play();
}
}
Any help will be appreciated.

MX2004/8 Preloader Doesn't Work In Scrollpane HELP Please
A seemingly simple one, yet no one seems to have any input.
Simple thing...
While loading a swf with a preloader into a crollpane, the preloader doesn't play until the entire movie is loaded to about 95%, thus making people stare at a blank scrollpane until the whole swf loads.
If I access the swf directly from the server, the preloader works as expected
WHY????

Could You Check Out My File To See Why Preloader Doesn't Work?
Hi,
I am at a loss with this preloader stuff. I would love it if someone could check out my files and try to see where the problem is! I would be eternally grateful!
www.giantcomet.com/Brian/ProjectFiles.zip
There are three products to be displayed in frame 3, they are loaded dynamically. They are named TV, Notebook, and Headset. They have a base class of "Product". Frame 1 hold the preloader object which is linked to PreLoader2.as
Without the preloader frames in the FLA and with no reference to a preloader, the thing works great. It's just when that preloader get stuck on there that it screws up... The current problem with it are the 3 navigation buttons at the bottom. I think the code that references them runs before they are actually present in the movie, because a trace of their names returns null.
I would be eternally grateful if you could check things out and give me some tips on why this thing is screwing up!!
Thanks!!

Preloader Doesn't Work Correctly When Using Components
Good Morning All,
Just wondering if you have any suggestions on this:
I have built a single frame shop poll using components such as List Box, Radio Buttons and Combo Box. Upon adding a preloader it seems my preloader only shows at approx 80% loaded when testing in the preview window.
The preloader is just a scaled rectangle. I also tried using some dynamic text but this also works in the same way (shows at 80%).
Do you think it could be something to do with having to load the components ?
I have experienced something similar before when preloading an SWF with embedded fonts. I eventually got my preloader to work 100% when i removed the embed font character option. It appeared to be loading the fonts before the preloader would start.
Do you think the same is happening with my components ?
Is there any other options i'm missing ?
And finally do you have any suggestions for resetting List box, Radio buttons and Combo box back to default published settings as i want to add these features to a reset button (which currently only resets my input text fields).
My page is here (without preloader)
My Poll
Thanks in advance,
Doug
