Flash :: Really Simple 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...

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?

Can You Help Me Fix Simple Javascript Code On Button Inside My Very Simple Component?
Flash MX 2004 (mac)
******************

Hi,

I have a custom component that consists of nothing more than two dynamic text feilds and a button. I want the button to open a popup window in the browser, and it does so using javascript (an extension i found).

I put the following function in the first (and only) frame of my actual component (and its also in the first frame of my entire movie, just in case):

callPopup = function() {
getURL(popup);
};

And then on the button in my component i have this:

on(press){
callPopup();
}

and then finally,there is a variable named 'popup' within my component (which would change in each instance) which is given a value in my test instance as :

"javascript:jspw3('../vwd_scripts/','popups/acroyoga.swf',',,0,Past%20Event,index,Past%20Event ,20,0,,0,450,550,0,0.001,0.001,,,1,0,,.0.0.');"

somewhere i am doing something wrong.. ..i am not sure if its the button code, or my link (variable 'popup') syntax. Or if its impossible to use javascript in this way.

I know my html page is set up correctly (correct info in the head of the page etc), since i am able to call the javascript from a regular html link (just for testings sake) which is on the same page as my swf.

Hmm..i hope i made some sense here.

I will be very gratefull for some help...i'm totally lost on this one...

thanks in advance

[F8] Very Simple Question, Very Simple Answer, I Hope. (Flash 8, Collisions)
Alright, so I've got my ball that moves up and down; it has gravity too. There are two things I want to do:

1. I want it to 'jump' when the UP key is pressed, rather than just accumulatively move upward.

2. I only want gravity to be applied while the ball is in the air(In other words, I basically just don't want it falling through the floor; however, want the edges to be the collision, not the center, and I also still want to be able to jump afterwards.

Thanks for any help, I don't need an explanation, I can figure it out by looking at the code. I'm going to attach a basic file with what I already have, please add the coding to it, then send the file back. Thanks for any help, and I apologise if this is hard to understand, or if I sound any bit rude to be asking how to do something; I don't mean to.

HELP SIMPLE, SIMPLE XML-FLASH Load Into Movie Clip

Anwyay- I can get the XML loaded into the root, and it works pefectly, but I'd like to put things INTO a movie clip, so that each new screen or slide is just he movie clip advancing.

How the HELL do I target the movie clip? I even tried setting a NEW variable in teh main timeline once the XML was loaded, but the best I get is not the value from the XML, but the path (e.g. "level0title1")

Any help? I imagine it's a really stupid, easy question, but I can't find anythign ANYWHERE to answer it.

Simple Problem Neeeds Simple Answer
hey i figured one of u geniuses here could help me figure this out much faster than me fiddling around so here goes.

All I'm trying to do is have a button (which is loaded in an MC in _level6) allow the user to switch between languages on the website. To do this I figured all I would do is have it 2 scenes...one in English and the other in Chinese. When the user clicked the toggle button I would have it go to the current frame in _level0 but switch to Chinese scene.

Get it? basically i want it to switch between frames but remain on the same frame number. Here is the last piece of code I tried using, but nothing seems to work (this code is connected to the release of the toggle button)

Code:
_level0.gotoandplay("Chinese", _level0._currentframe)
Anybody got any idea what i need to do??

Thanks for your help!

Simple Button, Needs Simple Action Script
Hi there,

I have made button in flahs mx. The over state of this button contains a short movie clip. My prblem is that I would like the button to remain on the down state on release (ie. once the user has released the mous button)instead of just going back to the over state as it does at present. Ideally I would like the button to go back to the up state on a second click.

I have pulled most of my hair out trying to put together the right bits of action script that would help me do this but to no avail, and having no time to learn action script properly I don't think I'll get there anytime soon on my own. Can anyone help me, pretty, pretty please ~?

Simple Questions...mean Simple Answers....right?
I just have a question about the various ways to loop in Flash.

now I know the for, and the while, and the do while,etc. My question is I can never get any of these loops to work unless they are on the main timeline. If I put a for loop inside a movie clip, i get nothing, or errors of the script continually running.

Just wondered if and how to use a loop script inside a movieclip without generating errors, and not having to revert to making the movieclip continually play two frames to get what I want.

curious.........

_root.MCmyclip.gotoAndPlay (1);

the movie plays fine the first time through. but when i need to return to the first MC again it plays but then stops and does not move on to the next clip? like this:

in the final MC i have:
_root.MCfirstclip.gotoAndPlay (1);

it goes to first clip and plays but does not moveon when encountering this action for the second time:

_root.MCsecondclip.gotoAndPlay (1);

i don't understand why this is happening. it should just loop continuously...right?

Simple Problem In Need Of A Simple Solution
I know this is long...grab the FLA and test it, and it will all make perfect sense. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a vertical menu that has one arrow (A1) that eases to the selected section after you click on it, and another arrow (A2) that eases to each button when you rollover it. So you rollover a button, A2 eases to it, click it, and the A1 eases to that. I have A1 and A2 set to ease to the y value of the button onPress. Here's where I run into the problem...The menu items slide up and down to reveal the content, so when I click on a button that has moved down to the bottom, the button itself eases up back into it's orignial position, as each arrow does the same thing. The way the functions are written to control all the motion only controls movie clips by buttons...so the top item in my menu is a button and works fine, since it never moves down. But I had to creat invisible buttons to control the motion of the other "buttons" in the menu. So pretty much to keep the right actions with each button, after pressing it, the invisible button moves to the new position of the menu item. This is what causes the problem. A2 is set to ease back to the y value of A1 on rollout, pretty much moving it back to the current menu item. So after pressing the buttons, A2 wants to ease right to the y value of A1, not to the y value it was told, which means the arrows don't line up like they're supposed to. This can be fixed by using onPress and holding it down. The clips ease right into position, but obviously this can't be used realistically. In theory all that would need to be done is to have the invisible buttons wait until the arrow was in position to move up there, that way the clip wouldn't react to the OnRollout before the OnPress.

I know this was long and confusing...I appreciate all your help very much, this has been stumping me for a while now!

Simple Loadvariables Task Not So Simple... Why?
So I've got a site that I've built (see it here: http://www.artinmusic.com) and it uses a function I've written called 'changer()' to swap out different events using a folder with textfiles inside. So I plug in the name of the folder and the function pulls the info from "folderName/title.txt" , "foldername/description.txt" etc. Nevermind that I probably should have done this (much easier and less painless) with XML, that'll have to wait for the next round.

So- I want to have a variable that selects which event to display first, and I've stored that variable in a text file called featured.txt. It reads: featured=20050916

I figured I could just go :

loadVariables("events/featured.txt",this);
changer(featured);

but not so. I got a string of errors, as changer tried to load 'undefined'. ( Error opening URL "C:/etc/etc/undefined/description.txt")

Here's the code:

function changer(changerVar) {
/* DESCRIPTION BOX */
descriptionVar = "events/"+changerVar+"/description.txt"
getDescription = new LoadVars();
getDescription.load(descriptionVar)
getDescription.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
/*trace("description Loaded")*/
descriptionBox.htmlText = this.description;
descriptionBox.scroll = 0;
} else {
trace("not loaded")
}
}
/* NOW TITLE BOX */
titleVar = "events/"+changerVar+"/title.txt"
getTitle = new LoadVars();
getTitle.load(titleVar)
getTitle.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
/*trace("title Loaded")*/
titleBox.htmlText = this.title;
/*titleBox.scroll = 0;*/
} else {
trace("title not loaded")
}
}
/*now Date box */
dateVar = "events/"+changerVar+"/date.txt"
getDate = new LoadVars();
getDate.load(dateVar)
getDate.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
//trace("date Loaded")
dateBox.htmlText = this.date;
/*titleBox.scroll = 0;*/
} else {
trace("date not loaded")
}
}
arImageVar = "events/"+changerVar+"/arImage.txt"
getarImage = new LoadVars();
getarImage.load(arImageVar)
getarImage.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
arImagebase.loadMovie(this.arImage);
} else {
//trace("not loaded")
}
}

image = "events/" + changerVar + "/" + changerVar + ".jpg"
loadMovie(image, imagebase);
}

loadVariables("events/featured.txt",this);
changer(featured);

A friend of mine said he got it to work by using the code I'm using to load these variables into text files and putting the featured variable into a dynamic text file in the _root level and then calling the function like this:

featVar = "events/featured.txt"
getFeat = new LoadVars();
getFeat.load(featVar)
getFeat.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
trace("featured Loaded");
_root.featured = this.featured;
trace(_root.featured);
/*titleBox.scroll = 0;*/
} else {
trace("featured not loaded")
}
}

changer(_root.featured);

And it does load the variable in the dynamic text box, but it comes back with the same error, except instead of undefined it comes back with "cannot load URL C:/etc/etc/events/_level10.featured/description.txt"

Anybody have any idea? PLEASE somebody help me out...

Simple Questions From A Simple Person
Hi all...

I am new to flash... The only actionscript I have actionally used is "stop ();" Anyway... I'm using flash cs3... It seems a fantastic tool to a newcomer like me!! Firstly, I'll show you what I've managed to do so far...

This is my first movie...
http://www.allnationschessleague.com...tpagewhite.swf

An this is the header I would like to put at the top of the website pages:
http://www.allnationschessleague.com...ANCLHeader.swf

Well, my first question (for I am sure to return to this site for more advice, is how do I link the flags at the top, to the relevant pages. Please check out the following page to see how it should work:
http://www.allnationschessleague.com
So as you can see, the flash needs to link to php pages... for example the British flag needs to link to 'setlanguage.php?lang=en' etc... so how do I set those links for the flags?

Thank you for answering my post )

Jeff
