[Flashcoders] preloader issue
I am really trying to have my preloader work, with a site that is 100% AS. the entire site resides either in classes or as on the first frame. there has got to be some way to preload a site, with a single function that is entirely dynamic. this is what i have, but it will not even appear on the screen. no errors .. ideas would be great // - // preloader function preloadMe() { // stop movie from playing //stop(); // reference to _root ref = _root; // create the preloader mc ref.createEmptyMovieClip(preloader_mc, ref.getNextHighestDepth() ); // create the preloader mc progress text ref.preloader_mc.createTextField(preloader_txt, ref.getNextHighestDepth, 0, 0, 200, 10); with (ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt) { embedFonts = true; selectable = false; setNewTextFormat(format1_fmt); text = LOADING SITE: 00 }; // place preloader text in center of stage ref.preloader_mc._x = (Stage.width/2) - (ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt._width/2); ref.preloader_mc._y = (Stage.height/2) - (ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt._height/2); ref.onEnterFrame = function() { tBytes = ref.getBytesTotal(); bLoaded = ref.getBytesLoaded(); percent = Math.round((bLoaded/tBytes)*100); // keep two places if percent is under 10, ie: 03 if (percent 10) { percentTxt = LOADING SITE: 0 + percent; } else { percentTxt = LOADING SITE: + percent; } // if this movie is not fully loaded, then display percent loaded if (bLoaded tBytes) { ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt.text = percentTxt; // otherwise, delete the preloader_mc, and the textField, then play movie } else { ref.preloader_mc.removeMovieClip(); ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt.removeTextField(); play(); delete this.onEnterFrame; }; }; }; // - //makeContent(); //makeIt(); //alot(5); //trace(getDepth(_root.ellipse_0)); preloadMe(); ___ 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] preloader issue
well, the preloader does display load status, then simply repeats, instead of deleting itself, it just repeats the loading ... any ideas??? i just want the swf it loads to not play or start until it is fully loaded, and the label_txt is deleted etc ... onClipEvent(load) { this.loadMovie(en.swf); } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { tBytes = this.getBytesTotal(); bLoaded = this.getBytesLoaded(); percent = Math.round((bLoaded/tBytes)*100) if (bLoadedtBytes) { _root.bar_mc._xscale = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100; if (percent 10) { _root.label_txt.text = 0 + percent + %; } else { _root.label_txt.text = percent + %; } } else { _root.bar_mc.removeMovieClip(); _root.label_txt.removeTextField(); target_mc.play(); delete _root.target_mc.onEnterFrame; } } ___ 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

Also, double check the string concatenation.

If you attach this to the clip itself, it does work - onClipEvent (load) { this.loadMovie(bigfile.swf); } onClipEvent (enterFrame) { tBytes = this.getBytesTotal(); trace(tBytes: +tBytes); bLoaded = this.getBytesLoaded(); trace(bLoaded: +bLoaded); percent = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100; if (bLoadedtBytes) { _root.bar_mc._xscale = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100; _root.label_txt.text = percent % LOADED; } else { //play(); //_root.target_mc.unloadMovie(); //delete this.onEnterFrame; } } Van R Tuck Director of Web Development Cause Design Group 1519 Stanford Street Suite 6 Santa Monica, CA 90404 t: 310.430.5369 www.causedesigngroup.com On Mar 7, 2006, at 10:45 AM, murder design wrote: I have posted this before, and gotten some feedback, this is the result, yet i still cannot get the clip to display the load progress of bigfile.swf inside the label_txt. the swf loads inside of _root.target_mc ... any ideas here people? // - begin code target_mc.loadMovie(bigfile.swf); target_mc.onEnterFrame = function() { tBytes = getBytesTotal(); trace (tBytes: + tBytes); bLoaded = getBytesLoaded(); trace (bLoaded: + bLoaded); percent = (bLoaded/tBytes) * 100; if (bLoaded tBytes){ _root.bar_mc._xscale = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100; _root.label_txt.text = percent % LOADED } else { //play(); //_root.target_mc.unloadMovie(); delete this.onEnterFrame; } } // end code regards, edward ___ 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

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader issue?
Part of the problem is that your onEnterFrame is getting stomped on by the reinstantiation of the target movieclip when the SWF actually begins to load. That effectively (quite) deletes the onEnterFrame. Either attach the onEnterFrame to some other timeline, or load the movie into some other timeline, perhaps a child movieclip. -- Byron Barn Canfield I have posted this before, and gotten some feedback, this is the result, yet i still cannot get the clip to display the load progress of bigfile.swf inside the label_txt. the swf loads inside of _root.target_mc ... any ideas here people? // - begin code target_mc.loadMovie(bigfile.swf); target_mc.onEnterFrame = function() { tBytes = getBytesTotal(); trace (tBytes: + tBytes); bLoaded = getBytesLoaded(); trace (bLoaded: + bLoaded); percent = (bLoaded/tBytes) * 100; if (bLoaded tBytes){ _root.bar_mc._xscale = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100; _root.label_txt.text = percent % LOADED } else { //play(); //_root.target_mc.unloadMovie(); delete this.onEnterFrame; } } // end code regards, edward ___ 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
Re: [Flashcoders] preloader issue?
this code does work, however the percent displays something like 15 places ... onClipEvent (load) { this.loadMovie(bigfile.swf); } onClipEvent (enterFrame) { tBytes = this.getBytesTotal(); trace(tBytes: +tBytes); bLoaded = this.getBytesLoaded(); trace(bLoaded: +bLoaded); percent = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100; if (bLoadedtBytes) { _root.bar_mc._xscale = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100; _root.label_txt.text = percent % LOADED; } else { //play(); //_root.target_mc.unloadMovie(); //delete this.onEnterFrame; } } i tried math.round but that does not seem to cut the text field length, any ideas? i just want 00. thats it ... not 00.0 thanks for helping me to get this to work - ___ 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
