[Flashcoders] Preloader, Pt. 2

2010-02-26 Thread Victor Subervi
Hi; Now that I've got the preloader working, not sure how to attach it. That is, I have an intro/splash page that "covers" an HTML page and then is removed with css: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"; WIDTH="1008.0" HEIGHT="785.0" id="myMovieNam

There are many ways to achieve what (I think) you want to achieve but may be the most simple way is to place your intro SWF in one HTML and when it finishes playing go to another HTML page contains your main stuff. -- Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ On 26 February 2010 14:17, Vi

that's not going to preload anything though. we know how everyone loved the "skip intro" days... victor, you need to do this in flash (if i've understood you correctly) you get your preloader to load in your main content, it's a container... http://schoolofflash.com/blog/2008/04/flash-cs3-tutoria

No - I just didn't understand what you wanted :) Are you trying to manipulate HTML from SWF? If so you can call Javascript function using ExternalInterface.call(). -- Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ On 26 February 2010 17:21, Victor Subervi wrote: > On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 11:47

Hi; I had another idea on how to tackle this problem of wanting to load two different swfs at the same time. (Please read thread if you don't understand what I mean.) Then I want to call/load an URL. I get no errors, however, it doesn't surf to the desired page, either. (Yes, I've loaded it on the

Loader is used to load SWF or images. loader3.load(new URLRequest("index.py")); Is your Python script meant to return SWF/image? If you want to load a data, use URLLoader instead. But I think what you want is to go to another page, if so use navigateToURL(). Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.mat
