[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();

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader issue
Not sure if anyone has responded yet -- my thread sorting is all screwed up.
You cannot delete or terminate an onClipEvent(enterFrame) unless you
delete the movieclp to which you have applied it, either by terminating
it's existence on the timeline with an empty keyframe, or by swapping it
to a "dynamic" depth (zero or above) and using removeMovieClip().
An onClipEvent(enterFrame) is not synonymous with an onEnterFrame() function.

This:
percent = Math.round((bLoaded/tBytes)*100)
works fine.

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.

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader issue?
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 (bLoadedI 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
