Flash :: Preloading Script For Netscaspe & Explorer

[cs3] As2 Preloading Problem Explorer Vs. Firefox
Hi Everybody!
I have a little problem, im doing this site with an intro in flv, and i want the movie starts once that is 100% preloaded and im using the code below, the thing is that it works fine in FIREFOX, but in EXPLORER starts streamin before preloading its over.

this is the code im using:

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("intro_cue.flv");

// SHOWS CUEPOINTS AND META DATA
stream_ns.onMetaData = function(metaProp:Object) {
trace("The metadata:");
traceMeta(metaProp);
// traceObject(metaProp, 0);
};

// PROGRESS
my_video.contentPath = "intro_cue.flv";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.progress = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
BytesTotal = eventObject.bytesTotal;
if (eventObject.bytesLoaded>=eventObject.bytesTotal/2) {
my_video.play();
}
};

//
my_video.addEventListener("progress",listenerObject);

this.createTextField("loaded_txt",10,10,160,22);
var loaded_interval:Number = setInterval(checkBytesLoaded, 500, stream_ns);
function checkBytesLoaded(my_ns:NetStream) {
var pctLoaded:Number = Math.round(my_ns.bytesLoaded/my_ns.bytesTotal*100);
loaded_txt.text = " KB loaded ("+pctLoaded+"%)";
progressBar_mc.bar_mc._xscale = pctLoaded;
if (pctLoaded>=100) {
clearInterval(loaded_interval);

}
}
// CUE POINT
var flvListener:Object = new Object();
flvListener.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
if (eventObject.info.name == "End") {
loadMovie("default8.swf", 0);
}
};
my_video.addEventListener("cuePoint",flvListener);

stop();

Thanx to anybody who can help me to resolve this issue!!!

Preloading Difference In Explorer And Firefox?
The preloader is moving from the left the right of the browser width.
BUT why it only works in Firefox and not in Explorer?????

The whole thing does not work in Explorer....it totaly skips the preloader part!
Does that come because of the flash plugin security from Microsoft, or is something wrong with my html file??

Here the html file, hope someone can help me with this!!

Thanx Igor

Internet Explorer And Flash - Freakin Explorer Bar
Okay, I'm pretty new at with Flash, and the whole actionscript/xml/xhtml stuff. When I upload my .swf to the web, I always get that explorer bar dropping bombs everytime I open the page. And I get it on just about every computer. Is there a special embed tag or some trick I'm missing to make that thing go away. Also, why do some sites automatically focus and others not. How do I do that?

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

Help Required Progress Indicator Bars. NOT PRELOADING BARS AND NOT A PRELOADING QUE
Help required ! progress indicator bars. NOT PRELOADING BARS AND NOT A PRELOADING QUESTION!

OK I have a swf called audio.swf which just contains a 15 minute streaming audio file that it just dragged along the time line.

I want to have some visual indicators in the swf, so that the user has some info of what is going on:

What I require within the swf are the following:

1.Progress Bar: How much of the movie has been played. This will obviously go up as the timeline for the swf progresses.
2.Streaming bar: Giving the user an indication of the amount of swf that has currently been downloaded.
3.Time (minutes and seconds) that the movie clip has been playing for
4.Elaped time (time remaining)

As you can see I have attached no fla, as I am sure that these 4 visual indicators are all fairly simple to code of any of you action script daddies out there.

Any help on one or all the 4 things I require would be brilliant.

If anyone could help me this would be more than appreciated.
Cheers

Pop-ups In Explorer
I'm having problems with my website <a ref="http://www.jeremyforsn.com">jeremyforson.com</a>, I have pop-ups for my gallery that don't work in explorer. I'm lost on it. Please help. Also if you hit another thumbnail w/o closing the previous window it loads into the same one.

getURL("javascriptpenNewWindow('html/juvinals.html','Jeremy%20Forson','width=700,height =700,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');");
}

This is in my head tags:
<script language="JavaScript">

newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);
}
</script>

Also I put this is the <embed> tag:

Explorer/XML/MP3
I've made a sort of online radio/mp3 player that loads text and file paths into my flash movie via an xml file.

EXPLORER/PC
Hi everyone. Would anyone here know why my swf does not load in explorer (pc) when it works fine in all other browsers on pc and mac? I may have missed something in the code, but I'm not sure why this could cause such a specific problem in explorer.

Website:
http://www.anrick.com

The flash movie is inside the "reel / photos".

The flash file can be found here:

Any help would be fantastic.

Movie Explorer
Hey, guys! This is a very general but annoying question. In Flash 5 when I have the Movie Explorer palet open and I want to filter all the info down to just the actions within frames, mcs, buttons, etc., I get a list that does not seem to be in any particular order. I would like it to be in the order of occurence on the timeline so that I can follow the logical structure of the ActionScript within the movie. Has anyone encountered this problem and does anyone know of a way to organize the info within the movie explorer in a customized way - say, in the order of occurence on the timeline as I need it?
As always, your help is greatly appreciated.

Movie Explorer Has Bug?
When I go to the Movie Explorer, I don't see all the symbols I have defined in the library.

For example, I can see three movie symbols in the library, but in the Movie Explorer it only shows two.I have closed and opened the app to make sure it's not a refresh problem but still got the same thing.

Is this a bug or what?

Sluggish In Explorer
What's up!

So I am getting very frustrated at the moment. I am trying to create some smooth animations. After raising the fps to 30 and doing some tweens it looks very smooth...in flash.

As soon as I export it and view the html file it looks like **** through a straw. The animation is very sluggish, totally not what I created in Flash.

So I used one the computers on campus. Their craptastic Tangents do display a smooth animation, but then why does my P4 2.5 GHz 1024 mb not?

Do I perhaps have a faulty plugin installed?

Someone please help me before I switch back to pure html/php...

Internet Explorer 6.01
Hi,

I have experienced a strange thing lately. My website worked well with Internet explorer 5.5 and still works well with Internet explorer 6.01. However, since I made a windows update on my pc I get scroll bars at the bottom and on the right hand-side of the content window. The website has been built in php and redirect several pages to flash MX. It is working well from there. But as soon as I am using the link from flash that tells me to come back to the content window in php, I get the scroll bars on the content window when it never used to be the case with my other version of Internet Explorer. Maybe I need to add some lines in my source in flash to make it work.

Thank you,

Seb

LoadMovie In Explorer 6?
I've created our company website in Flash MX, and saved down to Flash 5 to allow for more compatibility. Everything works fine on my mac, and it worked on the PCs we tested it on. I have a main movie, with an empty movie clip that other smaller movies load into using the loadMovie action.

The problem is that 2 people who have Explorer 6, on PC, are now not able to view the loadMovie movie clips. Can anyone tell me why and how to fix this problem?

The url is www.blackcatcommunications.ca - go to Portfolio (on the left), click on Print, Campaign, Brand, etc (on the left), then click on one of the sub-submenus that appear in the top left. This *should* load the appropriate portfolio section swf into the white space, but doesn't seem to in IE6.

Thank you for *any* help!

Safari But Not Explorer?
Greetings,

I have a quick question. I added the following script to my index.swf (all on one line):

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.dorishenson.com/navigation.html','LOOBA LOOBA','width=800,height=600,left=50,top=50,toolba r=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable =No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(800/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(600/2); setTimeout('NewWindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point) ',100); void(0);");
}

The script seems to work fine when I use Safari, but Explorer keeps telling me I have some kind of "type mismatch" script error. I have enclosed the source code that the error brought up. But if you want to take a look for yourself, the URL is
www.DorisHenson.com

btw- I am using MX 2004 Pro on a Mac.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
