Are you sure it just doesn't "appear that way", but in reality, it's just happening so fast - that it looks like it's not working at all?
I just ask, because I have a Map Application that I wrote - and it downloads quite large SWF files - in which a progress bar gets updated based on the loader progress. It works great, when I load the map for the first time, but subsequent accesses makes the progress bar appear and disappear, without the scrolling behavior. It occurred to me afterwards, that after the initial load, it was grabbing the file from my cache locally. When I jumped to a different PC (with an empty cache) it worked great once again - of course until the time when I loaded it the 2nd time. So just make sure that your problem isn't because you are loading something that you technically already have (sitting in your cache). Just something to consider, before investing too much time into this problem. Also, YES I reuse MY Loader over and over, for different SWF files, and it does work just fine. You don't have to do anything differently - so I am not sure what else may be happening, if it doesn't end up being what I mentioned above.

The preloader works fine on the initial image but on successive calls to the function, the onLoadProgress seemingly never fires (in order to update the percentage in a textfield). However, the onLoadInit does fire and the preloader fades away. The manual says to use onLoadComplete for repeated usages of listeners, but it doesn't seem to allow me to continuously reuse the listener to load in another image. How do I set this up to allow multiple calls to the function and have the preloader fire from 0%->100%? function preloadImage(img:String,target:MovieClip):Void{ var mclListener:Object = new Object(); var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); image_mcl.addListener(mclListener); mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip, httpStatus:Number):Void { // should I remove the listener here and delete the obj? } /* this function never fires properly after the first call! */ mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void { photoLoaded = Math.round(100/bytesTotal*bytesLoaded); MainLoader.load_text.LoadPer1.text = "Loading "+photoLoaded+"%"; } mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) { preloadFadeOut(); }; image_mcl.loadClip(img, target); }; preloadImage("images/5.2.1a.jpg", image_mc); // this one preloads great! preloadImage("images/5.2.2a.jpg", image_mc); // this does not have onLoadProgress but fires onLoadInit any ideas? thanks! -l _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
