Flash :: URGENT: Preload A Movie In An Another One

Preload Madness - Preload Movies Clip In A Movie?
hey people... a brought up this subject here a while back but it didn't really go anywhere... now that this sections seems to be a bit more lively perhaps some of you flashers can help me out... I am going to break this down very simple... I haven’t even storyboarded this so this is an extremely rough draft of the idea

I am building a photo gallery

this gallery has eight images which range from 30k-75k (roughly) so I don't want the user to wait for a full load of 240k-600k

I want to first load the thumbnails for the images... and then begin to preload the first image directly after that... then display it

and then from that point when the user clicks a thumbnail the corresponding full image will preload and then display

basicially this is about preloading a movieclip in a movie... I jsut can't wrap my head this... so I will ask for help before I get too deep.... any input on the basics of this idea would be appreciated

thanx!

How To Preload Movie Which Is Loading Through The Load Movie Action?
I want to preload main movie and the movie, which is loaded later through the load movie action, with the same preloader. The movie which is loading through the load movie action is level 1.
What changes must I aply to the code of the preloader, to do this task right? Here the code of the preloader:

btload = _root.getBytesLoaded();
totbt = _root.getBytesTotal();
sclbar = btload*100/totbt;
sclbar = Math.round(sclbar);
setProperty (_root.orangebar, _xscale, sclbar);
barwid = getProperty(_root.orangebar, _width)
barwid = barwid + getProperty(_root.orangebar, _x)
setProperty (_root.ldper, _x, barwid);
//setProperty (this.ldbar, _xscale, sclbar);
//trace (sclbar);
// trace(bytloaded);
if (btload>=totbt) {
gotoAndPlay ("slide panel", 1);
// trace ("loading complete");
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}

Hope you help!!!

Please Help Fraternity Preload Movie And Main Movie
I really would appreciate some much needed help with this project from some of you smart people!! I read this forum and appreciate the knowledge I see!!
My son created the SigEp Arbeta Fraternity(Arkansas-Henderson State University) preloader .swf and the main .swf that they would like for the introduction to their site.

The preloader has the precentage and loading bar to show the main movie loading. This is WAY OVER MY head. I am a beginnner and they need someone that would like to help them with this.

What they want is the preloader to run with the percentage and preloader bar loading for the main movie and of course, then, the main movie starts.

Would some one want to help me set this up? I do not have a clue how to do this. I have HONESTLY tried to read, read, work, study, and apply tutorials, but this is too advance for me.

Here are the movies:

Preload A Movie
How do I preload a movie using the following direction?

Have 4 layers, one for actionscript and one each for each empty movie and three frames. In the first two frames, the empty movies are far off the stage so it is invisible to the user. In the third frame, the empty movies should be placed properly.

In this example, they use the following actionscripts but I am not able to do them. What am I doing wrong?

Frame 1 actionscript:
if getProperty("empty_movie",_width)>0
if getProperty("empty_movie2",_width)>0
if getProperty("empty_movie3",_width)>0
tellTarget(empty_movie)
goto and play 1
end tellTarget
tellTarget (empty_movie2)
goTo and play 1
end tellTarget
tellTarget(empty_movie3)
goTo and play 1
end tellTarget
goTo and play 3
end if
end if
end if

Frame 2 actionscript:
goto and play 1

Frame 3 actionscript

stop

Should I have all these in one layer? Your help is appreciated.

Preload A Movie
I have created a flash movie which is 380k. It has 7 scenes. I want the first scene to be a loading scene so i have created the loading movie text to inform the viewer that the movie is still being delivered. What I cant figure out is how to tell the loading scene to make sure the whole 380k is downloaded before continuing on to the first frame of the actual movie. And if its no bother, tell the user how may KB's is being loaded (0-380 countdown).

Help would be very much appreciated.

Using 1 Movie To Preload 2 Others?
Hey all -

I've recently been hired to optimize a site that someone else created, and I'm having one problem. The site has 2 seperate movies that load up and the client wants them both preload together so they load up simultaneously. My intial plan is to make a third movie that will preload everything, and then link to the html page with the 2 frames and movies will just start right up.

Is this just a terrible way of doing things? I haven't been able to figure out how to preload several movies at the same time. I feel like localConnection should work, I just can't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and I can't combine the 2 movies into one, due to navigation and size issues the client is adamantly against it.

Movie Won't Preload.
Hi, i have my movie here: http://www.jsment.com there is a preloader in there but as you can see, when you go to the site, it does not preload. you can see it downloading in ur browser but the preload screen does not come up. what am i missing? here is how my movie is set up:

first frame contains a movieclip which is the loader. within this clip is one frame: using actionscript and the onEnterFrame event, I dynamically resize a shape within the frame. this is all, when the loading movie notices that the getBytesLoaded > getBytesTotal it says _root.gotoAndPlay(2).

I do not see the loading screen at all (you may see it for a split second after the entire swf has downloaded.

What's the deal? do I need to attach the fla?

Thanks,
Josh

Movie Not To Preload
Hey Guys,
Hello to everyone, this is my first post. I am somewhat versed in using flash, but am limited in actionscript, so I could use your expert help.

I have a page that requires 9 Flash Videos on the one HTML page.

My Question is this:
I need them only to start loading when "Play" is clicked, rather than have them loading on Page load.

Can anyone tell me how to make a player that will only start buffering when "play" is clicked?

thanks in advance!

How To Preload A Movie
Hello, I am new in Flash, I have created my first flash movie. www.prideimage.com. Now my question is that I have a movie in my first page that calls my second page and in that page my second movie has a mp3 song that really takes sometime to load the first time. Is there a way of preloading that second movie when you are in my first page so like that when you get to the second page you do not wait so long thinking that the page is not loading. or to put an animation that loops such as "loading..." that is playing while the clip is loading itself completely and that truns off and lets the movie play when the music is loaded. Go to the website www.prideimage.com. waited out and you will see exactly what i am talking about. Thanks alot for your help, learning flash!!

Multiple Movie Preload Help
I hope I can explain this well enough for you to understand. I'm trying to preload my main movie without preloading the external movies that are scritped within the movie. The preloading with the main movie goes fine but then when I call the external movie it opens it instantly like it had already been preloaded I want it to call the movie and then preload it at that point. The external movie does have a preloader also. Could anyone help me with this. The script I'm using on a frame action is :

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("cprofile", 1);
loadMovie("profile.swf", "cprofile");
cprofile._x = 156;
cprofile._y = 3;

The profile.swf does have a preloader but it doesn't use it and I know it's not just loading it quickly because it's bigger than the main movie and I'm on dial-up. Thanks.

No Preload When Loading Movie Into MC
Driving me nuts-- I have a tried and true code for your standard preload code (getBytesLoaded), but when I use it in an MC that is loaded into a movie clip, it disappears, although the loaded movie does indeed run fine once it loads in. What gives? is it that the "holder" movie clip's content disappears when the new one is loaded in, giving it a null size + width and no room to display my loading bar?

Here's my preload code:
bytes = Math.floor(_root.getBytesTotal()/1000);
loaded = Math.floor(_root.getBytesLoaded()/1000);
if (loaded>=bytes) {
gotoAndPlay("intro", 1);
} else {
downloaded = Math.floor((loaded/bytes)*100);
_root.percent6 = downloaded+'%'+' '+bytes+'/'+loaded;
}

_root.percent6 is my text readout.

Preload Movie That Uses Components
I need help making a preloader for my main movie that uses components. Because components must be loaded in the first frame, if I use a standard preload approach the preloader won't show until 20% of the movie is loaded. So I found this work around here:
http://odin.prohosting.com/~oldnew/f...ng/preload.zip

Everthing works great but only one problem. My movie loads a sound swf into level 1 and then the movie starts at the same time. When i use the above preloader it can't load the sound. You can see it at http://www.upfieldmedia.com/2ndpreload.html and if you go here http://www.upfieldmedia.com you will see what it does with a standard preloader. The page apprears after about 20% loaded and the sound loads correctly. ( need to clear your cache before you check each page)

My problem is how do I combine this preloader with my current movie? my files are here http://www.upfieldmedia.com/files.htm

Preload For A Loaded Movie
I've tried a variety of scripts to get this working, but can't quite get it. I've got the preloader bar woking in my main movie, and I have my main movie loading a nested clip using loadMovie("load.swf", loadClip);

But I can't get the preloader bar in the nested clip to indicate loading.

You can see the test file at:
http://www.dixonschwabl.com/test.swf

I have the main movie loading a 40K picture and audio and the nested movie loading a 3 MB mpeg, just so you can see the preloader working/not working.

You can download the fla files at:
http://www.dixonschwabl.com/test.fla
http://www.dixonschwabl.com/load.fla (although I didn't include the mpeg since it was 16 MB)

Preloader script (for main...this works fine):

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
procent = int(_root.getBytesLoaded()*100/_root.getBytesTotal());
mc_bar._width = procent;
}

and

if (procent<97) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
} else if (procent>97) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

Preloader script (for nested clip...doesn't work):

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_parent.procent = int(this.getBytesLoaded()*100/this.getBytesTotal());
mc_bar._width = _parent.procent;
}

and

if (_parent.procent<97) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
} else if (_parent.procent>97) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

Preload For Dynamic Movie
I have a flash movie that is approx. 75Kb in size. The entire movie builds dynamically and there is only one frame, which contains all the code. Everything (around 1000 pieces) is brought onto the stage at run-time dynamically using mainly attachMovie and some other techniques.

The problem I have is somewhat obvious, at 75Kb in size before anything appears in the users browser, there is a large amount of lag time before the user sees anything at all.

Does anyone know how I can build a preloader for a movie like this considering that dynamically loaded library clips (which all have 'linkage') must always load into a flash file before anything at all appears on stage ?

Thanks,
Stephen.

[F8] How Do You Preload Two Things In The Same Movie?
I have a movie that has a flash top navigation part and a middle part.. They have to load seperately because the top is just for navigation and whatnot.. but the middle part is gonna load videos and animation.. They tie together by design though.. Some parts of the top go to the middle and vice versa...

Do I create seperate SWFs and have one on top of the other or.. Have one big one that holds the two SWFs so that theres not a Navigation part loaded.. and a big white space in the middle until it loads...

Whats the best way to do this kinda thing?

FLV Preload/buffer Movie
I'm using the FLV Playback Player 8 that comes with Flash 8 and am trying to create a movie that will play while the flv buffers, and then goes away when the flv starts.
Because the FLV Player has it's own parameters for designating the content path for my flv file, I am not using an ActionScript NetConnection, which seems to hinder my ability to have a movie stop playing when my flv is finished buffering...
I tried using this actionscript in my movie clip that holds my FLV Player, but with no luck.

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full") {
bufferClip._visible = false;
}
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty") {
bufferClip._visible = true;
}
}

Any ideas would be most appreciated.
