Flash :: Manipulating Loaded Movies Before They Are Fully Loaded

Programming 2 Flash Movies On Same Page To Play Only When Both Are Fully Loaded
I have two Flash movies on the same webpage (http://www.affinityfilms.com/WillowTreeHomepage2.html). How do I program them to only begin playing when both are fully loaded?

Right now, they only play correctly when both are already loaded in the cache.

Checking If Movie Loaded Into An Instance Has Fully Loaded B4 Playing
Hi,

I'm building a site that streams a series of small movies into some preset into instances on the _root timeline but are paused on an empty frame 1 until needed. So while the first movie is playing the second movie is already being loaded and is cued on frame 1 ready to play.

However, if the timeline tells the loaded movie (i.e. _root.content ) to play frame 2 before this movie has finished loading it will not play. This shouldn't happen because the movie loaded into _root.content should have loaded, but I need a failsafe.

Is there a way to run a routine once the _root timeline is finished to constantly check the status of the movie being loaded in _root.content and then play once it is loaded.

I've tried running this code in a routine:

if (_root.content._framesloaded >= _root.content._totalframes) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2)
}

..but I'm not sure if it will work.

I really want to avoid a preloader (each movie is only about 10k big )

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

How To Make Sure Randomly Loaded Externals Swfs Are Fully Loaded [F8]
I am randomly loading external swfs into my main movie. I've got the random part working. However, I don't know how to make sure the random swf is fully loaded before jumping to a specific frame in my main movie.

I have a preloader inside each external swf, but I don't know how to make my main movie understand that the random swf is completely loaded before the main timeline should gotoandPlay("start").

What I Have So Far:

I have a blank MC (named "location") on the main stage, which I am using to hold the random swfs. On the first frame inside this MC, I have the following code:

choice = Math.round(Math.random()*2);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :
location.loadMovie("image0.swf");
break;
case 1 :
location.loadMovie("image1.swf");
break;
case 2 :
location.loadMovie("image2.swf");
break;

}

Loading the random swfs is working perfectly. But after the external swf is fully loaded, I want to move onto a frame labeled "start" on the main stage. I just don't know how to make sure the random swfs are completely loaded before I say gotoandPlay("start").

I've tried piecing together bits from so many tutorials, and I just don't know what I need to do to make it work with my current code.

Thanks so much!

Detect When Loaded Movie Is Fully Loaded
hey all,

I am trying to load an external swf into a target. when the swf is completely loaded, i want to execute the next set of actions.

Now here is the bit i'm stuck. I am trying to develop my flash websites so that no coding is done within the child swfs.

so i would assume some code like this would work:

_root.holder.loadMovie ("child.swf");
if(_root.holder.getBytesLoaded ==_root.holder.getBytesTotal){
_execute some other command;
}

However it doesn't work!!!

So is there a way to detect when a specific child swf has fully loaded into a target (not _framesLoaded please!) and then set a variable to allow some other actionscript to kick in?

please help if you know,

using mx btw

cheers,

Kd

Check That A SWF Has Fully Loaded?
want to dynamically load a sequence of SWFs into a movie.

each movie is called inf1.swf... inf2.swf etc.

so I create a loop with "i":

loadMovie ("inf"+i+".swf", "_root.loader");

but.. how do I check if the SWF is fully loaded, so I can i++ and load the next one in the sequence?

I tried onClipEvent(data), but I think the SWF is streaming the data, because it registers as TRUE as soon as the SWF loads in..

anyone .... anyone....?

Loaded Swf Not Fully Functional
I loaded a .swf to a placeholder inside my main movie. And the .swf loads fine, but I have a button inside my movie that is supposed to load a object embedded in the loaded .swf and it doesn't.
(the object loads if I play the .swf by itself, but not when after I use the loadmovie command in my main movie.)

Unload A ,swf Before It Has Fully Loaded
hi guys

i am having trouble unloading a .swf from an mc before it has loaded.

i have four buttons. each loads a .swf (replacing the previous one) into the same mc on the main timeline.
but these .swfs are quite big, so if the user decides to select a different button and load another .swf i want the previous .swf to unload. i don't whether this is a bug within the flash 6 player; i was pretty sure this didn't happen in version 5.

if the user gets frustrated and keeps pusing buttons, the whole thing slows right down and can even bomb out!

many thanks

How To Tell If Movie Is Fully Loaded
I'm used to some outdated ActionScript techniques, I fear. I have a little loop at the start of my movie, and I only want to continue past the loop when everything is loaded. (In this case, to make an executable with many photos play more smoothly.)

root.framesLoaded generates an error. What's the proper method? I'm not having much luck with Search (here or in the docs).

Thanks in advance!

Wait Until Fully Loaded?
Hi,

My menus on my site are swf's that are loaded into the main swf when the appropriate button is clicked. However there can be a slightly 'uncomfortable' delay before a menu swf loads in. THey are quite small files and I want to keep them seperate from the main swf for an easier update,

so my question is, how can I preload all my menu swf's into my main site before the main site loads in? I have tried loading into empty 'holder' swf's but this went really quite wrong.

Any ideas would be great!

[F8 AS2] MCL: Swf Plays Before Fully Loaded
I'm using a preload function with the Movie Clip Loader. Everything works like it should except the external swf's will play before they are fully loaded. At first I only had one frame in each swf, and they wouldn't show up until 100%. Then i added some animations, and now they play out at around 60% loaded.

I know I can fix it with stop() on the first frame and tell it to play after 100%, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or is it something common with MCL and i just wasn't aware of it.

Manipulating Images Loaded From An XML
Hey guys,

I would like to start by appologizing for yet another carousel question.
I believe that i have searched the forums fully for an answer, with no luck.

Anyway on to my problem. How can i manipulate images that are loaded into flash via XML.
The images get loaded in with a registartion point at the top left. I would like to make it so that the images will be in the center no matter what their width is.

Hmm im never any good at putting my problems into words, and you will proberly ask to see the FLA so i included it all with a ZIP. Most of the FLA works fine because the images are the same size however photo 10 is not the correct size and demonstrates my problem of not being centerlized.

Thanks

Play Parts Of A Swf Before It Is Fully Loaded?
Is it OK to play the frames that have been loaded so far of a big swf that is still loading?

So for instance, I check _framesLoaded of the .swf and the frames of the portion I need to play are there so I play that piece.

Is Flash 5 designed for that or am I asking for trouble and should split the .swf into smaller .swf's and then wait until the movie of the portion I need is fully loaded?

Thanks!

Know When A LoadMovie Has Been Fully Loaded - But Not LoadClip
Hi,

Keyone.it, another member of the flashkit community created an amazing way to stop your swf files being cached (except a loader file). The technique envolves using the loadMovie command in flash on a php file; this php file loads in the swf file.

I now need to find out when the file has been fully loaded (and how much has been loaded preferably). I tried using the loadClip method but to no avail - unfortunatly this fails to load the movie via the php file.

So what can I do, thanks for any help !

[F8] Swf Movie Plays Before Fully Loaded
Hi there, i'm just trying to figure out how to keep a swf file(that i am loading externally) from playing until its fully loaded. Heres my code...
code: stop();

this.createEmptyMovieClip("introContainer", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var myListener:Object = new Object();

myListener.onLoadInit = function(): Void {
loading._visible = false;
};

var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("intro.swf", "introContainer");
myMCL.addListener(myListener);

the loading._visible code is simply to tell the preloader to disappear after the movie is fully loaded. My problem is that the swf starts playing before fully loaded and makes the movie jumpy and non-coherent. Any help would be awesome!!!

How Do I Goto A Frame Only After My Swf Has Fully Loaded?
I'm having a problem... it might be quite simple but my knowledge isn't that great on event listeners (which I think is what's needed)

I have Movie that has a preloader on the 1st Frame and then on the 2nd Frame a swf is loaded using this script...

stop();
tellTarget ("cc") {
loadMovie ("test_1.swf", test_1);
}
gotoAndPlay ("3");

This loads my test_1.swf into the test_1 mc inside the cc mc.

This all works fine.... However what I want to know is how to only gotoAndPlay ("3") after the test_1.swf has been fully loaded?

The idea I'm working with is that... an initial swf (simply an image with a preloader - test_1) would load into the background when the swf is started and then a menu would appear in frame 3 that would allow the user to replace the background swf with button clicks..... But at the moment the menu on frame 3 is loading before the background swf is loaded.

I've been searching for ages but I can't seem to find a thread that deals with this... it could be that I'm looking for the wrong thing.

Any help would be much appreciated - Thanks!

MovieClipLoader Isn't Fully Loaded And Ready
I'm using the movie clip loader to load a swf inside a MovieClip object on my stage. I've added a line of code at the end of my onLoadInit function to send a message to a JavaScript function that it's loaded. Once JavaScript gets this notification, it calls another function in flash that accesses the loaded SWF and tries to do something.

The first time I call the function, it fails (the variable I try to access is undefined)...if I immediately call the function again it works fine.

I can get this to work if I place a 500 millisecond delay in JavaScript, but that's not going to be a solution for my client since each machine may take longer than 1/2 second for whatever flash is doing.

Q: Why isn't the item available after onLoadInit is complete and how do I get around this problem?

Thanks for your help!

Use Childs Library (when Not Fully Loaded)
Hello everyone.
I have a question that is a bit tricky. Why I want to do this is becouse I need such a dynamic solution as posible with fast downloadtime.

- I have a host file that schould preload child files (this is to display what I can load visual).
- In the child files library i have a clip ready to be exportet (it's exported in first frame)
- when my host noticed that the childs second frame is loaded I want to grab the clip from the childs library and attach it in the host. (after this it will load nextone e.g.)

Why can I not get this to work
Is it not posible to get childrens exportet library clips? (have tried to load whole child clip before trying to grab the clip).

Preloader Finishing B4 Fully Loaded.....
Wutsup Doods,
Anyways, having a preloader issue here, It seems that the preloader I have created will only load 1/2 way, then will jump to the site, however the site isn't fully loaded yet. I am wondering what could be the cause of that. I wonder if it is because there are multiple movie clips in the animation or something. this is the script I have been using for the preloader:

__________________________________________________ ___

onClipEvent (load) {
totalBytes =_root.getBytesTotal();
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loadedBytes =_root.getBytesLoaded();
percentLoaded = Math.round (loadedBytes/totalBytes*100);
gotoAndStop (percentLoaded);
if (loadedBytes ==totalBytes) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("website");
}
}

Manipulating Images Loaded Using URLRequest
Hi guys,

So using AS3 I've got external images to load perfectly, the code is pretty much:

PHP Code:

pageContent.addChild(loadImage("assets/projects/fiji_hilton/hero_nuku_4.jpg"));...public function loadImage(url:String):Loader{ var image:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete); loader.load(image); return loader; }

This is working great, BUT i cant seem to get access to the image once its loaded. What i mean is, how can i change its dimensions, or how can i just its smoothing, any of of its properties really.

I've tried acessing it through the loader variable, but havent had any luck. It cant be that hard to do, seems like it would be such a common thing.

Thanks!

Testing To See If An External Variable Is Fully Loaded
The subject says it all. I need to know when an external variable has finished loading. Maybe i'm doing this wrong, but i'm loading external variables from an asp page (which generated them). This can take several seconds. I need to know when the variable is fully loaded so i can begin processing it (the variables get cut up and mixed around in flash). I've tried testing for 'VarName > ""' but the variable isn't neccesarily fully loaded when this fires, causing the processing to fall over. I've tried putting the load on it's own frame and testing '_framesloaded' on it but that tells me when the frame is loaded, not the variable. If i stretch the movie out (or slow it down) to allow time for the variable to load, then if it loads really quickly the user doesn't get a response for ages. Any ideas?

Preloader Wait Till I'm Fully Loaded?
I've been struggling hard with my first preloader. I'm using a first scene which waits in frame 1 until _root.getBytesLoaded() is equal to total. Then it calls nextScene(). In my second scene I have only 1 mc instance called Engine. This mc loads all the rest of my page dynamically with attachMovie(). So most of my assets are being exported in the linkage settings to be usable by the Engine mc. To be able to test this with my cable modem I added a 2 meg sound file to my movie so that it would take awhile to download.

My problem is that when I publish and upload my movie and then test it with my browser, it seems to load the whole movie (both scenes) before anything happens. Once everything is loaded my preloader (scene1) flys by really fast and it breaks right into Scene2.

My guess is that the exported mc's are getting loaded before scene1 gets loaded?

Help plz!

Don't Play External Swf Until JPEG Is Fully Loaded
Searched tons upon tons of preloader issues and techniques but can't really find the answer I am looking for.

Basically I have one Movie Clip that has a range of images. When I click an image I like it loads an external MC containing a larger version of that image which animates (basically the image 'blows up' or gets bigger). Sounds pretty easy right?

Well all my images are externally loaded from a file (easy to update). So when this external swf movie loads the 'blow up' I want to make sure that the jpeg has fully loaded before the animation starts playing.

All my file sizes are very small but I have preloadered everything so far so that slow connection speeds are catered for. At the moment on the animation effect I am describing above I can't get it right...

I have my Flash movie here if you want to take a look. Once the movie has loaded click on the middle image to see what I am trying to achieve. (rough animation test at the moment...I tweened it funny as a test). Check out: http://www.wests-serve.com/stage2

So how would I go about doing this? Basically I want to make sure that the animation does not start until the external jpeg has loaded. (Otherwise you see the 'picture frame background' for a period and then the jpeg loads in...not nice.

It may not be possible I guess unless the image is 'built in' to the .swf itself? I understand that there would be a slight delay between teh press time and the jpeg loading in...so I would perhaps do a animation that would distract teh user while this all happened...anyway, any ideas?

Thanks in advance to a helpful person

Holding Control Of External .swf Until Fully Loaded?
Hi, would love help with how to control an external .swf that is not fully loaded (or rather how to stop someone from clicking buttons that effect it oddly). I'm in Flash MX.

My main movie loads an external .swf into a target using: _root.pictar.loadMovie("whatever.swf");

The external .swf is a series of 10 photos, each on a frame.

In my main movie, I then have corresponding thumbnails, which when you click, tell the externally loaded .swf to go to the frame with the full size image on it. Like this:
on thumbnail #2 the action is

on (release) {
_root.pictar.gotoAndStop(2);
}

All works great, except if I click before the external movie is fully loaded I think. If I click a thumbnail too fast, image 2 comes up when I click thumbnail 8. And everything acts screwy.

How can I get around this? Can I disable the thumbnail buttons until my external .swf is fully loaded? If that's the only solution what do I do because I'm using the same target "pictar" each time I'm loading a new external .swf?

The site with this problem is www.gregorygale.com. Maybe that will help. Thanks so much.

[Flash 8] Swfs Appearing Before Fully Loaded?
I'm having a strange problem while preloading external swfs. I have about 6 external swfs that load whenever their respective button is clicked. Each swf will have a short animation that builds the page. Initially, i was testing the swfs with the full page assembled on frame 1.

Everything worked as it should until i started building the animations. Now, instead of the animation starting when the swf is fully loaded, it starts when the preloader is around 60%. This happens everytime at 60%. If I take the animation off and go back to 1 frame, it shows up when it's supposed too, at 100% loaded. I thought i could get around it by putting a stop on the first frame and telling the swf to play with onLodInit(), but it still shows up early with the stop() on frame 1. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this weird problem?

MX - Manipulating Loaded Dynamic Text Variables
I am able to load a variable into a dynamic textbox. However, I'm unable to manipulate these variables.

I have a dynamic text box with a variable called "loadedfile" which is in a movieclip off the root called _root.subclip

I load the variable using loadVariable (textfile.txt, this) in the main timeline.

The textfile is setup with &_root.subclip.loadedfile=" to direct the textfile to the right variable.

This seems to work. However, what I want to do is, load a number of text files when the flash file starts -- each into a separate variable. Then I'd like to have the same dynamic text box use the text in these variables at different points in the movie.

I've tried loading a file into say the variable "dyntext" and then tried using "loadedfile=dyntext" (loadedfile being the variable for the textbox). But it doesn't seem to work.

I hope this makes sense.

Anyone have ideas?

Manipulating Swf Loaded Into Main Movie Problems
I am trying to change some properties of a movie that I have loaded into my main swf using the loadMovie command. I am applying the code to the instance of the movie clip that the movie is loaded into.

I can load the movie in no problem, but when I try to get to the manipulation part is where I am running into problems. I have been searching through previous posts here and was referring to this one:http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79640
for guidance in making certain that the clip is loaded before the script runs to (in this case) scale the clip.

Right now, once I apply the code it is not working and it is unloading an image that was previously loaded into the file. I have checked to make sure that I am not loading into the same level.

The loaded swf that I am trying to scale is the text that comes in that says "A Catholic Church Organization Serving the Church"

You can see the swf before I try to scale the clip

and after

Here is the code before:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("text", 12);
_root.text.loadMovie("serving.swf");
_root.text._x = 165;
_root.text._y = 350;

And the code after:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("text", 12);
_root.loadMovie("serving.swf", text);
_root.text._x = 165;
_root.text._y = 350;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.text.getBytesLoaded()>=_root.text.getBytesT otal()) {
MovieClip.prototype.grow = function(a,b) {
this._xscale += b;
this._yscale = this._xscale;
if (this._xscale>a-1 && this._xscale<a+1) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}
};
_root.text.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.grow(250,50);
}

If I should post the fla, please let me know.

How To Replace Embedded Movie When Web Page Is Fully Loaded
I want to initially load very small swf or gif images, wait until the web page is fully loaded, then load the full size movie. What is the best way to do this - some kind of image swap in the web page using an "onload" script, or via actionscript to load a replacement movie?

If I go the actionscript route, can flash determine when the containing web page has fully loaded?

If I go the onload javascript route, does anyone know if the DOM for various browsers can handle changing the src attribute for embed and/or object tags?

Any other good methods to do this? The current problem is that users with low bandwidth sometimes do not see the HTML page render until the swf is done loading. See the pages at www.bvex.com.

How To Stop An External Swf File From Playing Until Fully Loaded
I have a large (25MB) video file that was given to me. It's a swf file that someone created from a quicktime movie. I can't just use this swf file as it needs to fully load before playing. I have created a preloader that loads the external swf and shows a progress of the external swf file. However, the external swf file starts playing. I want to stop the external swf from playing until it fully loads.

AS3 code...

var maskStart:Number = -148;
var maskFinish:Number = 60;
var maskMove:Number = maskFinish - maskStart;

var fileURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("islandCompaniesCareers.swf");
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Progre ssEvent.PROGRESS,fileLoading);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event. COMPLETE,fileComplete);
myLoader.load(fileURL);

function fileLoading(event:ProgressEvent):void {

var percent:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
logoMask.x = maskStart+ maskMove*percent/100;

//trace(percent);
pcLoaded.text = Math.round(percent) + "%";

if (event.bytesLoaded == event.bytesTotal) {
removeChild(logoMask);
//addChild(myLoader);
}
}

function fileComplete(event:Event):void {
trace("COMPLETE");
addChild(myLoader);
}

here's the test: http://www.islandcompaniesltd.com/me...cl-careers.swf

Please can you help?!

Manipulating Loaded Movies Before They Are Fully Loaded

Is there any way to manipulate a movie, e.g. play, stop, roll over etc. that has been loaded using loadMovie or loadMovieNum BEFORE it is fully loaded? From the LOADING movie that is. Not the LOADED movie... If so. How?
