Flash :: Preloading Load Movie Problem

Preloading .swf Before Preloading Main Movie
Ummm

Things are getting complicated lol

I have my main movie going ..AND I actually managed to get a pre-loader working ...

and it's all ok as long as you have adsl or cable connection - otherwise it is REALLY messy.

The main .swf uploads onto the web .. but the secondary swf have not yet loaded .. and so it is all out of synch .. if you wait a while and refresh you get it ... but argh it is horrible .....

so .. is it possible to block the preload of the main movie until it has preloaded its secondary swf's ??

I should imagine it's recoding the actions AGAIN .. can any one get me started please ..

Is this often a problem if you add swf to a main movie ???

tyyyy all

Preloading Load Movies
I have a few swf's that I'm loading into certain targets at different stages throughout a movie. The load movies take a few seconds to load up. I was wondering if its possible in these few seconds could I have a preloader or something to make the screen a bit more interesting rather than just a black part of the screen showing and how to do this. Anyone???

Preloading Sections With A Load - Bar?
Hey guys,

I've created a large site with about 12 scenes in it, and I wanted to have a preloader percentage bar that shows the percentage of loading a particular scene.

In this instance, due to size and other reasons, loading the entire site in one hit is not preferable.

So how can I show the percentage loaded of a single scene, or a few scenes? Showing a percentage loaded is my main concern.

An example site :

Preloader 1
Home scene 25k
Theories 32k
Downloads 15k
Contact 5k
Folio Button (opens next scene, starts Preloader 2)

Preloader 2 (shows percentage of 200k folio scene created)
Folio 200k

Preloader 3 (same as preloader 2...)
Illustration 150k

Preloader 4 ...
Photography 200k

And so on...

[F8] Preloading Preventing FLV To Load. Urgent Help Please
Hi everybody,

I have a problem with a FLV file. There is a FLV playing at frame number 90.

With a help of a cue point, when the video reaches at a certain second, main timeline continues to play from frame number 91.

Everything was working properly until I made a preloader for my whole flash file.

After the preloader, when I test movie with ctrl+enter, everything stops. Whenever I hit ctrl+enter again everything begins to work fine.

Please help. I have a little time to finish this.

You can find the file at the following link:

After Preloading Jpg, LoadMovie Still Slow To Load Jpg
I have made four or five jpg and swf preloaders successfully so I can get through the code but I'm not aware of all of the little problems. In my most recent preloader, I watch the progress bar move along but when the main movie opens and I click on a button to load a JPG, the jpg takes a second or two to download again before it is displays. Here is the code I use for the preloader:

else {
loader.loadClip(pagesVars.path+pagesVars.code+"_"+ ipic+"_0.jpg", "holder");
loader.loadClip(pagesVars.path+pagesVars.code+"_"+ ipic+"_1.jpg", "holder");

and the button to load the movie does this:

image_base.image_load_into_3.loadMovie(pagesVars.p ath+pagesVars.code+"_"+target+"_3.jpg");

image_base.image_load_into_2.loadMovie(pagesVars.p ath+pagesVars.code+"_"+target+"_2.jpg");

during my troubleshooting, I replaced my preloader and loaded a jpg using loadMovie to a visible clip in the main movie so I could see that the correct jpg was preloaded. Even while looking right at the loaded jpg, when I clicked on its corresponding button it took a second or two to download and display in another area. The 2nd time I click that button, the JPG loads instantaneously. Am I missing something obvious here?

Preloading Wont Load File
Ive read a lot of stuff on the preloaders, but obviously not enough because the one type I want to work doesn't. Its for a website. I want to load the new swf from inside a symbol on the timeline, as it does an animation. So I made an empty MC on the main movie timeline and put it on frame 6 so theres nothing else on it. Ive tried a variety of codes.

ActionScript Code:
_root.holder.loadMovie("index3_4E.swf");

My empty clip on frame 6 is called holder, so why doesn't it play it? If I move the empty clip to frame 1 it plays the clip, but not all of it and it has the main movie behind it and I dont want to show that page, thats the whole point in using the empty mc's isnt it? I feel I have tried tons of variations but am missing something important. I tried it without a movie clip, but it doesnt align properly even though the movie was the exact same size.

Controlling & Preloading Load Movies
Oh, I am so stuck on this. How can I make load movies talk to each other? I've worked out how to have a main movie telling other swf's what to do, but is it possible to have these loaded swf's talk back to the main movie? What I've done is load the movies into blank movie clips with instance names. This way I can use tell target to target them with my actions. What I'd love to be able to do is have the 'loaded' swf's tell the main movie to perform an action. Is this possible?

And is it possible to control loaded movies with actions when they are on different levels and not targets. For example, can you say tell target "level 3" goto frame 4. And can a movie on level 3 tell a movie on level 0 to perform an action.

Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way. What I'm trying to do is have a preloader for my site that doesn't proceed until the loaded movies are 100% loaded into cache. I tried in one of the load movies an action along the lines of:

"if last frame of this loaded movie is loaded, tell target ../ (main movie) to goto and play rest of site"

the reason I thought that ../ would work is because the swf is loaded into a symbol with an instance name. Normally when inside a movie clip you can use ../ to target the main timeline of the site.

If anyone could help me out, i'd appreciate it.

thanks.

Preloader Not Accurately Preloading...huge Lag Time While Browser Tries To Load
i'm using a preloader that I have used many times before...and has always worked. However for some reason, it's not workng properly now. When i load the url in my browser, I get a completely black screen (blk is my background color) for quite some time, until eventually my preloader pops up for a second and then the main part of my movie appears. (then loads in 1st external swf with home page content).
I assume that the long lag time i am seeing is the time it takes for the file to load into the browser....isn't that what a preloader is for?? So at least there is some indication of what you are waiting for?
One last thing: my main swf file is HUGE!! I can't seem to figure out why. My swf is 2.4 MB. MY SWF!!!! the FLA is 5.4 MB. To me...that seems rather large, and there really is nothing to make it that big. I use external swf's for my content to keep file size down....i don't get it....
Can I get a little help from someone...anyone.... please?
thanks in advance....

Here is the code from my preloader scene, from here it goes to Scene 1. My preloader is 3 frames, my main movie (Scene 1) is one frame. I'm working in MX2004Pro on a G5:

Frame 1.)
code: fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
play();
//////////// 1st Sound /////////////
transForm = new Sound();
transForm.attachSound("transSound");
transFormVolume = 75;
transForm.setVolume(transFormVolume);
///////////// 2nd Sound ///////////
staticTV = new Sound();
staticTV.attachSound("static01");
staticTVVolume = 50;
staticTV.setVolume(staticTVVolume);
///////////// 3rd Sound ///////////
laser = new Sound();
laser.attachSound("laser01");
laserVolume = 50;
laser.setVolume(laserVolume);

Frame 2.)
code:
// percent_display is the name of dynamic text box showing percentage of movie loaded
percent_display = (int((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)+"% loaded . . .");
// Check to see if the movie is loaded.
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() != _root.getBytesTotal()) {
// If not, loop to the previous frame.
prevFrame();
} else {
// If loaded, play movie
play();
}

Frame 3.)
code: stop();
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1");

My Progress Bar mc has this script inside it's 2 frames:
code:
// in frame 1
setProperty(this, _xscale, (_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
play();

// in frame 2
prevFrame();

Preloading A Movie Being Called From A Main Movie
Hi,

I am running a main movie called home.swf which has buttons that call other SWF file say MOVIE1.SWF into an empty holder, called menu1_holder, then positions and displays it. This all works fine.

The problem I get is when I call that MOVIE1.swf it does not use the preloader that is in movie1.swf properly - it just hangs on a black screen then displays 100% for a bit then loads the actual movie. However, when I actually just call it stand alone in it's own HTML file, the pre-loader works just dandy.

This is the code for the pre-loader, which works a treat - Note, it uses frames not scenes as this home.swf movie calls all other movies into it as required.

onClipEvent (load) {
_xscale = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_xscale = 100*(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal());
if (_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal() == 1) {
_root.nextFrame();
}
_root.percent = Math.floor(100*(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()))+"%";
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Does Load Movie LOAD Entire Movie, How Can I Stream It?
i have a load movie loading my music. I have a preloader at the front of my music, but i dont think the preloader is working on load movie. Does the load movie command download the whole movie into cache, or does it just start playing the movie.

IE.. if i have a 5 meg mp3 that i wanna dled and listen to, is it just downloading the whole thing, until the movie is loaded, and then playing, or is it streaming it in?

i tried to make a preloader for it, but it looks like the preloader just instantly zooms across... how can i show status of this movie loading?

External Movie Will Not Load, But Does Load When I Use 'test Movie'?
I had my external movies loading wonderfully then all of a sudden one of the externals (that I use 'loadmovie' on) will not load? The weird thing is that when I test my movie using 'test movie' in my main movie, it works fine, but when I go to my staging (test) site: www.gbebos.com/Liz/Hit.htm the one movie in 'Earth elements' page will not load, but the other movies i.e. 'Crystal Elegance' and 'Silver Essence' work fine. I made sure that the .swf and .html were transfered to the domain and they are both there.

Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again to ya all at Flashkit!

Preloading MCs Into A Movie
k people, i really need some help..i'm tired, it's late and i need to get this done.

i have an interface which i am making. It has a preloader and loads fine, but when i try to load a MC into the movie, the preloader does not work properly. I have tried multiple differnt preloaders..some show the percentage load, but then the movie wont play, which others load the movie without the preloader, and once it has loaded it flies through the percentage and loads the movie. it u dont know what i mean u can take a look at http://www.inertiaweb.com.au/mark/oc...ctanesite.html
just try the home button at the moment..notice the long pause where the movie is loading itself, but not using the preloader?..how do i fix it?

my buttons are simple just
on (release) {
loadMovie("main.swf", _root.Main);
}

and the movie that is getting loaded in has the preloader-
in the first frame:

if (_root.getBytesLoaded()>=_root.getBytesTotal()) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("loaded");
}
percentLoaded = Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
loadingText = "Loading content..."+percentLoaded+"%";

and in the next frame:

_root.gotoAndPlay("check");

well, if you can help it would be greatly appreciated...

Preloading Movie
I'm developing interactive teaching movies to be run on local machines on campus. A lot of the PCs here are 233mhz and below and I'm finding that the movies take a few minutes to begin functioning.

What I would like is to put some kind of preloader script on the first keyframe, and I would want it not to proceed to the second keyframe until the entire movie is ready to play.

Also, it would be cool to have a little "loading..." animation playing while the movie loads.

Is that possible?

Preloading A Movie
On a simple preloader you can have a bit of scrip like:

Quote:

ifFrameLoaded ("End") {
gotoAndPlay ("Go");
}{

However, this only works if you are inside the movie that has the script on. Is it possible therefore to check if a frame is loaded on a seperate swf before performing an action.

For example, load this movie, ifframeloaded "end" gotoandplay frame 2 of the new movie, if it isnt, goto and play 1.

Can someone explain in plain english as im not great at actionscrip. thnx.

I'm new here so hope everyone is totally in good health and enjoying yet another awesome day.

I got a problemo on a project that i'm doing. I forgot to make a preloader on a movie and did it after I completed a movie. I'm having trouble displaying it on the website for some reason as a result of that.

in my movie I cannot make it all layers into a single movie clip since i have a bunch of layers with motion tweens. I'm attaching my fla file and a little walkthrough to get to the preloader, its on the preloader layer, click on the logo_mc one while on the stage, and hit F9 to see the code.

I'm assuming it has something to do with the document classes in both files? Hopefully this made sense.

Preloading More Than One Movie
Hello,

Is it possible to preload more than just the current movie in one preloader? I would like to also preload a few other movies, let's call them movie1.swf, movie2.swf and movie3.swf, at the same time, so that when the progress bar reaches 100% all those movies are loaded as well. Is there a way to do that?

here is my preloader script:

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load){
tF=getTimer()+1000
bI=_parent.getBytesLoaded()
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
porcentaje=int( _parent.getBytesLoaded() * 100 / _parent.getBytesTotal()) + "%"
tA=getTimer()
if( tA >= tF ){
bA=_parent.getBytesLoaded()
bT=(bA-bI)
tR= int((_parent.getBytesTotal()-_parent.getBytesLoaded()) / bT)
for(sR=tR; sR>=60; sR-=60 ){
i++
}
for(mR=int(tR/60); mR>=60; mR-=60){
i--
}
hR= int(tr/60/60)

sR= (sR<10) ? "0"+sR : sR
mR= (mR<10) ? "0"+mR : mR
hR= (hR<10) ? "0"+hr : hR

tR= hR+":"+mR+":"+sR

tit=(bT<1000)?" bytes" : " kb"
bT=(bT<1000)? bT : int(bT/100)/10
tF=getTimer()+1000
bI=_parent.getBytesLoaded()
}
//datos_esp= "porcentaje: " + porcentaje + " descargado: " + int(_parent.getBytesLoaded()/1000) + "kb kb total: " + int(_parent.getBytesTotal()/1000) + "kb velocidad: " + bT + tit +"/segundo tiempo restante aprox.: " + tR
//datos_ing= "percentage: " + porcentaje + " downloaded: " + int(_parent.getBytesLoaded()/1000) + "kb total kb: " + int(_parent.getBytesTotal()/1000) + "kb speed: " + bT + tit +"/second time left: " + tR
//datos=(_level0.idioma eq "esp") ? datos_esp : datos_ing
if(ir<>1 && _parent.getBytesTotal() == _parent.getBytesLoaded()) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2) ;
ir=1}
}

Preloading A Movie
Thanks you for your help Rollershade, here is something else for anybody.

1. My main page has a movie clip that loads my second page which has a second movie clip.

2. In the second page, the movie is to long so I wanted to preloaded because of an mp3 song.

3. This is what I have done now, I divided my movieclip of the second page into two scenes. The first scen has only one frame, it is an instance of a movieclip that simply says "loading...". And also that frame has an action property that is:

ifFrameLoaded ("scene 2","end") {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2","start");

}

Now should this work??? What I want is the scene one will display "loading..."
until scene two is done and after that play scene2. Now what I find it does it stills shows the screen empty and it plays the movieclip afterwards without seeing scene 1 because it is only in one frame so you don't have time to see it. I don't mine not seeing my scene one as long as the animation is loaded instantly but not have the page loaded and wait there without seeing my scene1.

My question is as follows, is my scene1 one not loading because it is part of my movie so it also waits for it to be loaded? if that is the case then my solution is fairly simple. But I will not ask for it because maybe someone will tell me what did I do wrong. www.prideimage.com

You can view the animation there. First page calls the second page. Second page should have the "loading..." scene until scene 2 is complete but you just see nothing until the movie is ready. Any suggestions or answers

Thank you in advance. I appreciate it!!

Preloading A Movie Inside Another Movie.
I already sort of posed this question, but I think I can be more clear on where I am stuck.

I was given this piece of code as a better direction in which to try to solve my problem.

var movieLoader = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('mL',2);
movieLoader.onEnterFrame = function() {
percent = (_bytesLoaded/_bytesTotal)*100;
if(_bytesLoaded==_bytesTotal) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
movieLoader.loadMovie('CorCapSm.swf');

This is all fine and good and the swf loads inside I suppose the "parent" movie. Problem is, how do I tell flash "this is the file I want to load, preload it first, and play it once it is totally loaded"

For some reason the if statement if(_bytesLoaded==_bytesTotal) {
isn't really keeping the movie from running before it is fully loaded...anyhow, if somebody knows a good tutorial or can shove me in the right direction, that would be great, thanks

Scrollpane - Load Swf - Load Movie Symbol Controled By Buttons And Variables?
Ok i have searched the board, and racked my brain and read hundreads of bit and pieces. So far 'not happy jan'. Anyhow I thought well I shall start a thread where first I ask a question of 'can it be done' then go away try and do it and if fail 'ask how to do it' or if suceed then say 'how i did it'. Of course all questions are going to relate back to this original post so no new threads need to be started. Anyhow onto my question!!

I have a website I want to make. so I started... called it 'site.swf'. now site.swf has a scrollpane in it called 'content'.

Now I have also created 'home.swf' which has 2 movie symbols in it. one called 'homein' the other 'homeout'.

'Homein' is located in frame1 of home.swf and 'homeout' is located in frame2.

When site.swf loads I want to load home.swf into 'content' and home.swf plays 'homein'.

When the user clicks on the first button (in site.swf) 'content' plays 'homeout' before loading 'button1.swf' into 'content' and playing 'button1in'

see the pattern forming. Now I am sure this has been asked thousands of times, but I haven't found it once. At least in a form that is easy to understand.

Now can this method be done, or do i need to go away and rethink it. (my main reason for loading external.swf's is because i wish to preload where needed).

If all this can be done tell me now... I am sure I need to use 2 variables.... 'loadedmovie' and 'tobeloaded' to communiticate with 'content' and to follow the users clicks of buttons.

Thanks for any help.

(mx) Transfering Actions Which Load With Movie To Load When Button Is Pressed
hi,

I have some code which draws a line when the mouse is pressed (to when it is released)

This code is within an object, loads when the movie starts and works fine:

Code:

// ***** Set some opening parameters
onClipEvent (load) {
// Make original line invisible
_root.line._visible = 0;
// Initiate some variables
number_lines = 0;
line_active = 0;
}
// ***** Every time the mouse button is released...
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
// Get the position of the mouse
origin_x = _xmouse;
origin_y = _ymouse;
// Increase the number of lines by one
number_lines++;
// Generate a new line name
name = "line"+number_lines;
// Duplicate a new line
_root.line.duplicateMovieClip(name,number_lines);
// Position the line's end point at mouse position
_root[name]._x = origin_x;
_root[name]._y = origin_y;
// Update line length / orientation
_root[name]._xscale = _root._xmouse - origin_x;
_root[name]._yscale = _root._ymouse - origin_y;
// If this is the start of a new shape
if (!line_active) {
// Set the line tracking variable
line_active = 1;
// Set the start point of the new shape
start_x = origin_x;
start_y = origin_y;
}
}

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
line_active = 0;
}

// ***** Every time the mouse is moved
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
// If there's a line currently being drawn...
if (line_active) {
// Update line length / orientation
_root[name]._xscale = _root._xmouse - origin_x;
_root[name]._yscale = _root._ymouse - origin_y;
updateAfterEvent();
}
}
I want the user to press a button before this code is usable - just as with any drawing program.

How do i go about telling the code only to start when the button has been pressed?

thanks,

jeff

Preloading A Movie While Sending Var Using GET
Hello,

I have a perfect external preloader loading a movie into a target and after the whole thing is loaded we say loadMovieNum ("file.swf",0);

It works....BUT

I have some variables that I want to send to my "file.swf" and If I do something like this: loadMovieNum ("file.swf",0,"GET") the movie starts to download again after my preloader is finished!!!

This gives me 2 times the amount of lodingtime :-(

So, how do I pass there variables to the movie I'm preloading??

Regards

Preloading Flash Movie?
I'm trying to preload the content of my movie using If frame loaded but it's not working.
Is there a way to preload the movie within the movie. Instead of having to use an external .swf

Preloading Different Parts Of The Movie....
Hey this might be a really dumb question, i'm not sure, but anyways can someone tell me how to preload only the basic structure of the site at the start and then later when you click on the navigation buttons it takes you to another preloader and loads that section, so it's only loading the stuff needed? I've seen it done on like all the good sites i visit now, but i don't know how to do it myself, can someone plz help me???
Thanx

Preloading Screws Up My Movie
Alright, I've spent 4 hours trying to figure out why this is screwing up my movie. Basically, I'm using a getByesLoaded preloader, and it works fine. Then, I get to my movie, I click on a state, and it enlarges then disappears (it should enlarge, then shrink to the corner and load text). I've uploaded the movie to http://www.joltdesign.net/states/states.fla for you to look at, as I don't want to explain the whole movie =) Don't worry about the missing text files, they won't help you.

Oh, one last thing... the movie works fine without the preload scene, but once you place it back in the lineup it ruins it.

Help!

Preloading Different Sections Of Same Movie
hello you,

i have a 3 meg .swf file that contains 6 sections...

instead of preloading it all at once, which would take a while, i want to split it up so that each section preloads as you enter it.

how do i do that?

i'm guessing i have to create 6 different .swf files (one for each section) but then how do i link them together?

your help is appreciated.
thanks

Preloading Swf's Into Main Movie
Hello...I think this is a fairly simple one...but I can't get it to run properly....I have a main movie called movie4.swf and I have several swf's I want to preload in the main preloader, I have tried code like this and inserted it into a plain movie called "blank":

onClipEvent (load) {
loadMovieNum ("cottages.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("bungs.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("rates.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("rates2.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("specials.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("contact.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("links.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("motel.swf", 1);
loadMovieNum ("plain.swf", 1);
}

but it doesn't seem to load in anything...these movies are very small but almost take a minute to load in any help would be appreciated...sorry if I don't reply straight away but I am on the other side of the date line.

Thanking you in anticipation

Preloading Only A Part Of A Movie?
Hi all
I'm searching for a BAR PRELOADER that only preloads a part of a movie. I have a scene with 20 photos (472 KB) and I would like to preload, let's say, the first 3 photos with a bar preloader and have the rest preloaded using the ifFrameloaded action while the user is still busy seing the first 3 photos. In other words, to begin to show the movie before it is fully loaded. Is that possible? How?
I'm able to do this with ifFrameloaded but I'm completely lost at how to insert a bar preloader just for the frames I want to show initially.
Any help appreciated

Preloading Movie Problem
Hi All! I'm having problems with a preloader for a very big file. This file is for a CD project I've almost finished. The problem is that the file is huge (~90mb) and it hangs when I autorun it from the CD for quite a while. I'm trying to build a preloader that'll work, but I'm having some problems. How do you go about building a preloader for something like this?

I was thinking of making a small exe file that is the preloader and have it load the main movie. Can this be done? And how?

Thanks in advance!
