A Few Seconds Between Load Call And Load Start, Why?
hello people. I know that when you make a loadmovie call, the preload isnt immediate. You could be waiting miliseconds or seconds till flash starts receiving data.
I know this is a network issue. And this waiting time depends on your connection and the server aswell. But, do you know of any technical articles that explains this issue a bit better?
This is because i have to answer a client that wants to know why his sounds (the ones im calling with loadmovie) dont start preloading immediatelly.
Thanks for any help

After a click on one item, all the item go the sam eway off the screen and another movie loads. Question. How to tell the flash that first all the items must go off the screen and then unload that movie and load the new one?
THX for the help

Load 5 MCs At Start Of Movie
I have been working on this problem all day and have gone no where. I need to make 5 duplicates of the same moviclip "worldMap" and move each of them to a different point (frame) along their timelines. I can't even get one of the MC's up on the stage. This is one of the scripts that I have been working on.
stop();
for(i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
newMC = "worldMap" + i;
_root.duplicateMovieClip("worldMap", newMC,i);
trace("newMC = " + newMC);
trace("i = " + i);

[F8] Why Does My Load Function Start At 30% ?
I have a preloader I have created from the Flash help files
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/00002461.html
Mine looks like this:
Frame 1
Code:
#include "generic.as"
#include "filters.as"
Frame 2
Code:
var pctLoaded:Number = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal()*100);
loading_txt.text = "Waiting for your luggage: "+pctLoaded+" % Loaded";
Frame 3
Code:
if (this._framesloaded<this._totalframes) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
this.gotoAndPlay(5);
}
And there are no graphics untill Frame 5 other that a dynamic text field.
Why is the loading not showing until the movie has loaded 30%?
What am I missing? have tried both "Load top down/bottom up" no difference

Can't Get Start Up Movie To Load
Hi I'm building a flash website based around severval different movies which load into a base movie. I got all the individual movies working but I can't get the base movie to load the first one in at the start. I put the load movie on an onEnterFrame, am I doing something fundamentally wrong here:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("home.swf", "container");
container._x = 0;
container._y = 0;

Getting Swf To Load At Start Of Movie?
Hey all,
I'm trying to figure out how I can load a swf at the start of this movie and still retain the ability to click on the buttons and load a new one. I'm sure this is probably something simple I'm missing.
At the moment I can get it to load but then after a second click on the other buttons I get an error:
"Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller."
Files:
http://www.zoost.ie/case-studies.zip
Here's my code:
Code:
import fl.transitions.*;

//loader stuff//
//Assign CLICK listeners for each menu button

work_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);
experience_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);

Help Please... Load Movie But Sound Won't Start
Hi all,
I've read through Kenny Bellew's tutorial (See here ) and it's SO useful that helps me created a sync flash movie very precisely. However, I have encountered an issue but can't find any answer.
Let's say I have a BASE movie (BASE.swf), which is to LOAD another movie on top to play a background music ("BGM_Loop.swf") - because I need a non-stop BGM. I load that BGM movie to level 100.
To avoid confusion, the BGM is loaded into a frame directly without using any ActionScript in the BGM_Loop.swf. In the BASE.swf the code is -
"loadMovieNum("BGM_Loop.swf", 100);"
on frame #1 of it.
Then, from the BASE.swf movie, I need to load a third movie ("audios.swf") which has 10 audio files with 10 scenes.
I've loaded it into level #1 on frame #10 of "BASE.swf".
The code is -
loadMovieNum("audios.swf", 1);
This "audios.swf" movie has 10 pieces of audio which are using the ActionScript code in the tutorial to sync with the animation. here's a sample one:
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.attachSound("audio1");
myMusicVolume = 100;
myMusic.setVolume(myMusicVolume);
myMusic.start(0, 1);
playing = true;
All 10 audio files which linkage are set well and I changed the code above from "audio1" to "audio10" in every scene.
The problem now is, after published, the BGM ("BGM_Loop.swf") is playing very well, but the audio ("audios.swf") is not started at all.
If I played the "audios.swf" file individually, all 10 audio played very well, when it loads into this BASE.swf with the "BGM_Loop.swf movie, the 10 audio stopped.
Apparently there is a LEVEL issue which is similar to the "_root." concept in Kenny Bellew's tutorial, but I just can't figure out how.
If anybody has any idea, really appreciate!

Get A Button To Load & Start A Movieclip
Hi, This may be basic, but... this is my first venture with actionscript. (FlashMX 2004)
I'm developing a flash app where the user plots points on the canvas, then clicks a button, which draws a tessellation based on the points, and stops drawing when the lines hit something other than the background. The user putting the points on the canvas is no problem, BUT, I can't get the button to start the movie clip ehich draws the tessellation (actually, just three lines radiating from a point to start with) All Ive managed to get a button to do is the following:
on(release) {
getUrl("http://www.edwardian-kitchen.co.uk");
}
which duly goes there.
Ideally I'd like to add other buttons to allow several layers of tessellations to be entered, and viewed separately, or overlaid on one another.
all help gratefully received
here's the Doughnuts, sorry I can't do the coffee or cola!

Load Movie And Start At Frame 10
I have a movie with 7 buttons. I would like my "home" button to go to the index1 page and start at frame 10. However, I don't know enough about action codes to know what to do next. I used behaviors to write the code below. This will get me to the index1 page however, it starts at frame 1. This is were i placed the loading bar. How can I start at another frame?
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if(this == Number(this)){
loadMovieNum("index1.swf" ,this);
} else {
this.loadMovie("index1.swf");
}
//End Behavior
}

Problem Getting Swf To Load At Start Of Movie?
Hey there,
I'm trying to figure out how I can load a swf at the start of this movie while still retaining the ability of clicking my buttons and loading multiple movies.
Any help would be really great?!
Here's what I'm thinking I need to do but it's not working. I wonder is there an "on start of movie" event?! ENTER_FRAME maybe?
Code:
function atStart (e:Event):void {
if(currentPage == null) {
e.target == galleries_mc;
urlRequest = new URLRequest("case-studies-new.swf");
loader.load (urlRequest);
nextPage = e.target.content;
var tweenY:Tween = new Tween(nextPage, "y", Regular.easeOut,
100, 80, 2, true);
//Tween the alpha to from 0 to 1
var tweenAlpha:Tween = new Tween(nextPage, "alpha", Regular.easeOut,
0, 1, .5, true);
//Push the tweens into an array
tweens.push(tweenY);
tweens.push(tweenAlpha);
//Add the next page to the stage
addChild(nextPage);
//target_mc.addChild(nextPage);
//Next page is now our current page
currentPage = nextPage;

Delay Start Of Movie Load
Hey folks,
here's my situation:
I've got a site i'm working on that is heavy on the graphics, that also has a fairly large flash movie loading up in the body (and I am well aware of the adverse effects of building a site like this, however it HAS to be this way).
Is there a way I can pause the loading of the movie for say 10 to 20 seconds so the graphics on the page have time to load up first?
Thanks!

FLV: Start Load When User Clicks Play?
Hello,
It would be nice if anybody could give me a little help on this subject.
How would I tell Flash to not to load the FLV unless the user clicks on the play button? An example would be on YouTube site. I want the movie to only start loading/progressive streaming if the play button is clicked by the user.
And which code should I use?:
Code:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.ready = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
myFlvPlayback.play();
};
myFlvPlayback.addEventListener("ready", listenerObject);
myFlvPlayback.contentPath = "myvideo.flv";
And this one:
Code:
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("myvideo.flv");
I already have my own custom skin setup for the first code, so it would be awesome if I can figure out how to work it out with that one. Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Start Playing Swf In Empty MC Before Load Complete
Hello everyone, I am working on a movie that loads a SWF into an empty MC when it reaches a certain frame in the timeline. Everything works great; however, the file is large and I would like the swf to begin playing after 25% of it has loaded. The code I am using to load the SWF is below.
stop();
load = loader2_mc.loadMovie("ImageGallery1.swf");
I'm sure that this is probably easy but for some reason I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Load External Mp3 And Start Playing On A Certain Frame
I am trying to load an external mp3 and have it start playing on frame 430 of my movie. The code I've tried either starts playing the mp3 right away or not at all. Here is what I'm working with:
onClipEvent (load) {
// sets up a sound object
faTrack = new Sound();
// load the external sound
faTrack.loadSound("intro.mp3", true);
// play the sound
faTrack.start(430);
}
After using this code it started the movie right after the sound was loaded. What is the proper method to make this work?

Scrolling Navigation Needs To Unload Sections And Load Up The Main Start
Hi,
I've got a scrolling menu on the left side of my swf. It gets loaded from the a swf underneath.
On the top banner I have 4 buttons.
The first is just a link, but the other three navigate into the main.swf that loads on the second level.
For some reason when I'm going through the site from the top menu and I want themain swf to come back I click on the scrolling nav to go back to the main start.
But the weird thing is that you have to jump through the timeline in order to get back to the start.
I attached the following so that you could look at what I'm talking about.

Start And Stop Streaming Sounds (start Stopping Currently Playing)
Hi there
I am novice user of flash and have no real AS experience.
What I want to do is..
I have 18 songs from an album and have taken 30 sec from each and down sampled them ready for flash.
I want to be able preview them all from one flash file.
I will be streaming the songs in, so the initial download time is minimal.
With 18 start stop buttons for each one, but because customers are lazy, they are likely just going to click the next play button for the next preview, so I need the play buttons to stop 'this' preview before playing the next with stop control also being a stop control for those who have had enough or are well behaved browsers : )
I hope this makes sense and look forward to hearing from someone.
Cheers
Ian Hill

How To Delay The Start Of External Swf(start From Say 10th Frame)
I am using the following code to load an external swf.Now I need to start the playing of the swf movie not from frame 1 but from say 10th frame.
Please help
Code:
var myMcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
//swfToLoad._visible = false;
loadedPercent = Math.floor((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
_root.bar_mc._xscale = loadedPercent;
//trace(bar_mc._xscale);
c.text = loadedPercent+"%";
//trace(loadAnim.percLoaded.text);
spacer.loadMovie("images/loadingss.jpg");
};
myListener.onLoadComplete = function(targetMC:MovieClip) {
swfToLoad._visible = true;
loadAnim._visible = false;

FLV Start Time? Can I Start It Playing 2 Secs In?
Is there a way with actionscript to tell an FLV to start playing 2 seconds into the video. What I have is an FLV that has 2 seconds of black at the beginning, but I don't want that to play.
Or if anyone knows a way to re-encode an flv so that I can get rid of the 1st 2 seconds. I've tried re-encoding it with Riva Encoder but it just gets all screwed up. And the Flash encoder won't even let me add it to the que. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lady

Random Sound Load And Start Is Speeding Up The Sound. Any Help?
Hello,
My first post here at Kirupa. I thought I'd give it a try.
I'm trying to load sound dynamically into a clip and then play it randomly. The AS I came up with works great if the sound is embedded and I use the .attachSound() method instead of loadSound(). Now, when I load it dynamically and use the code below, the sound plays very fast and at a higher pitch.
I'm new to AS. Any help or insight into the issue would be much appreciated!
Thanks everyone!
ActionScript Code:
var crows = new Sound(this); crows.loadSound("Raven.mp3", false); crows.setVolume(100);rNum = function(){ var i = 0; var randNum = Math.round(Math.random()*500); if (i>=randNum) { crows.start(0, 1); }};randSound = setInterval(rNum, 100);

Sound Start Doesn't Start
I've been experiencing this problem. Sound.start() doesn't always start. A lot of times, it does, sometimes, it doesn't start for me. Sometimes it happens even after sound load has just finished. Has anyone experienced the same? any suggestions?

To Start Again, Or Not To Start Again, That Is The Question
help!
I know I'm a dumbass, no need to rub it in. Guess who just learned what a smart clip is. now here's the issue:
http://www.7inone.info/test4/
everything on this site that SHOULD be a smart clip, ISN'T. Every single button and movie clip and movie clip holder has been scripted individually. And now, this far along, I realize that the smarter thing to do would have been to use smart clips. So do you think I should start over, and do it right? or should I just leave it, and learn from my mistake for future work. I would love to start again and get it perfect, but the reality of the matter is that the boss want's the site ready to go - and SOON.
any additional comments on over all design, etc. would be appricated.
thanks guys
sid.

Immediate Start Instead Of Clic Start
I have a fla-file which almost is just perfect for my needs. The only thing I need to change is :
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
gotoAndPlay ("start");
}
I would like the movie to start immediately instead of after the visitor clicking a key. No need for saying that I am totally new to flash, is there.

How To Start And Do Nothing
I have made it through the tutorials and now am trying to create my first flash movie. I don't want it to go from frame to frame. I want it to go the first frame and then stop. Then I am going to build some buttons for frame navigations.
My buttons are on one layer, the different frames I want to navigate to are on layer 2. 5 frames, 5 different pictures.
How do I stop the movie from just shooting from frame 1 to frame 5. I just see all 5 frames flash by when I play the movie.
Thanks,
Peace

Where To Start
If all you knew about FLASH is how to spell it, where would you start? What software must you have. Is there any freeware that one can use to learn?

Where Do I Start?
Hi - I would like to know how to do the kind of animations (quick, flickering and smooth as in this site: http://www.skvisual.com). Are the home box animations in actionscript? Does the smooth collapse and expand of the "more>" button also result from actionscript? How do I do this? I'm just getting started with actionscript, so any help is gratefully accepted!

Any help would be useful.
