AS3 FullSWF Preloader v2.0 FlashVar + XML

I don’t undersand why this kind of preloader doesn’t work with small objects to load (for instance a JPG of 500 K, on my configuration (win vista + Firefox3 + flash player 10). The preload animation doesn’t appear and the content appears once fully loaded. (My bandwidth is small, 60 KB/s), and it works with big object (> 1 or 1.5 MB ?)

You usually use preloaders on large content. If the data to be loaded is small, it won’t appear.

Purchased Preloader unable to open in flash 8 can you please advise, can you also send instructions on use. Many thanks

Is it possible to use this preloader for a .swf compiled by FlexBuilder 3? thanks, e

You mean MXML format instead?

Hi, Very nice preloader, but there is a bug when using it with large files (I have an Indesign CS4 exported SWF , about 9M. The calculated pct in the animation event = 100% when the actual downloaded size is only 99.3% (seen in bandwidth profiler). The fade event is activated and FINISHED before the loading is complete, so it tries to perform swapChildren(b, l) before loadSwf is done and I’m getting the following error :

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/swapChildren() at MethodInfo-

The solution I’ve implemented is to add a state var “loaded”, initiated to false, and assigned true in the loadSwf function. The fade method contains additional checks :

if (b.alpha>0) b.alpha -= Number(config.fadeOut); if((b.alpha <= 0) && (loaded == true)) { stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, adjustDim); removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fade); swapChildren(b, l); }

Ah thanks for the bug fix. I was mainly for website swfs but this is great. Thanks Rami

Hi is it possible to use the same loader file for SWFs of different pixel sizes? I’m using SWF Object to embed three SWFs on the page at three different sizes. At the moment I’ve opened the loader and resaved at three different sizes, but it would be great if I could use the same loader for all three…

You can see my code here: http://www.luthermaxdavies.com/client/redroute/index_v3.html

You should be able to, I haven’t thought bout it. Just change the width and height and the loadedSwf for each embed.

An Update is coming Soon for a resizable loader.

Updated, fixed a couple bugs.

Hey Clemente I just purchased this yesterday looks promising I emailed you with some questions. I look forward to your response and to rating your script. thanks
