Preloder

Preloder Like This...
hey, just wondering if anyone can direct me to a tutorial or paste in some script on how to do a preloader like on this site:

http://www.gridplane.com

basically i'm after a really smooth preloader, as i'm having problems with mine being too clunky and also my loadbar doesn't reach 100% properly—i've just fudged it for now.

http://www.atype.com.au

here's the currect script i'm using:


Quote:




onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per*9.43;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}




cheers
iota.

Preloder Question
hi,
I want to do a preloader and are a bit confused. some use different scenes and some place the preloader in the first keyframe. some use a own swf-file for the preloader. I wonder whats the difference? Is one solution better than the other?

I really want to know what you think before I decide in what way I do my preloader.
I also wonder if you have to use ifFrameLoaded because all in my mainmovie is in one frame. it must be possible to load the movie without counting the frames.

Preloder Problems( Not Showing)
I made a prealoder, my code is pretty simple and it works perfect with the file were I have a static image in second scene. But when I place the prealoder into more complicated file were I also have two scenes (all my second scene movie clips sitting in library and actions calling them to play) Preloder not showing up.The movie plays (after download completed) but ignores the preloader... there is some conflict.
Here is my preloder:
first frame action-

total_bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded_bytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent_done = int((loaded_bytes/total_bytes)*100);
bar.gotoAndStop(percent_done);
ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 2", 60) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);
}

and my next frame, same scene:

gotoAndPlay (1);

and in second scene there is no actions in the Timeline( only "stop()" at the last frame were it has to be anyway.


Do you thing I'm missing something?Maybe You know anybody who could help.
Thanks in advance

Preloder Works In Simulation But On The Web
A while ago I found on another board a nice piece of preloading code for multiple images. It seemed to be working great until I've actually posted the swf on the web. The text field displaying the loading progress in % started showing NaN until about 85-90% of the totalbytes were loaded. This would coincide with the first image actually popping up. This does not happen in a simulation mode: the first image shows up at the same point but the percentage is displayed correctly way beforehand and grows steadily from ~5 to 100%. I think the reson behind this behavior are dynamically created emptyMovieClips that are being used for loading images. Preloader must be getting confused every time the new one pops up and resets itself to NaN. I tried to include a line of code that would correct it but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm not emotionally attached to this script so if anyone has suggestions for a preloader that would grab images from the external folder while displaying the progress in percentage I would appreciate.




code:
//number of images to be displayed:
srcL = 10;
//source of Images for a gallery:
imageFolder = "Graphics/Gallery_1";
var Images = new Array();
for (i=0; i<=srcL; i++) {
Images[i] = [imageFolder+"/image"+i+".jpg"];
}
// create one clip for each movie
// and load the movie into each one.
for (var i = 0; i<Images.length; i++) {
var tmp = this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip"+i, i);
tmp.loadMovie(Images[i]);
}
// now set up an onEnterFrame event
// to continually check the load progress
// and update the bar clip
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var stat = 0;
// initial status
for (var i = 0; i<Images.length; i++) {
var tmp = this["clip"+i];
stat += (tmp.getBytesLoaded()/tmp.getBytesTotal())*100;
}
stat /= Images.length;
// get the average status value
if (isNan(Stat) || tmp.getBytesTotal()<8) {
return;
} else {
this.bar._xscale = stat;
// set the width of the bar to reflect the load status
this.txt.text = Math.round(stat)+"%";
trace(stat);
// if the load is complete, cancel the onEnterFrame
if (stat == 100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
stop();

Preloder Headache - Dynamic Preloader
OK, What I`m doing is,this:
I have a movie which creates serval movieclips which then will be used by a controller Movieclip to load other external swfs into them.
This controller movieclip is itself effectively a preloader. Actually everything works fine, save one problem:

The preloader pops up, doesen`t show any loadingprogress, the target movie in whom the external swf is being loaded disapers, there is nothing for a moment. Then according to connection time the requested movie appears.

What might be the reason of this ? All suggestions / ideas / Xtremly welcome !!!

You might watch the effect at spade-trading.com

Unfortunately I'm not at Work (it`s 1 O Clock in the Morning in Germany) right now, but rather keept from sleep by this Problem.
This Is why I can`t post any code right now...

Attach Sound, Export In First Frame And Preloder
Hello. i use MX (6) ver. of Flash and I am working on slide show with sound background. I use attache sound method to play sounds. But.

Attached sound work only when i allocate
-Export for ActionSript and
-Export in first Frame.
And problem is all lincked sounds starts loading in very begin. So my preloader doesnot work well. Cuz preloader starts work only when sounds are loaded. To escape this problem i could not allocate -Export in first Frame. But in this case attache sound method doesnot work.

I see only one exit now. Create preloader and main movie in different swf but it is not i really want. How to use attach sound method with linked sounds but do not allow them load in first frame?

Thanks

Preloder ScaleX Property And X Property
Hi!

within the loader listener's progressevent I had my preloader mc update the scaleX property and works fine, thus, it moves and scales just like a preloader does until it reaches 100. My only concern is when scaleX updates the preloader mc 'x' location seems to be moving as well making the preloader clip looked liked it scales on both sides (both ends of the line). As i examined the preloader mc 'x' property it stays the same all throughout. This is weird.

anyone?

thank you in advance.
