White Box appears for a second before loading (Preloader?)

Hello,
This is my second post in 2 days (sorry). I am working with
Flash MX. I am building a site and I have build a template of sorts
(menu layout & background image). I was originally going to try
to load external swf (which was yesterday's issue and now resolved)
but it didn't quite give me the effect I was looking to achieve.
So, I am now linking to each page using flash buttons. I drop
a .swf it's own HTML page (home, contact, etc.). I am not sure if
this is the best way to do it, but it has worked in the past.
However, I am getting a white box where the swf sits as I navigate
from page to page.
Is this because I need a preloader? I have the background
color in my .fla file set to black. If not, how do rid of the box?
Thanks.

Hey, I couldn't wait to try this out. I pasted your code in
and I am still having the issue. Maybe it's just the way I have set
this up. I like having individual swf on each page. Not sure where
to go from here. I really do appreciate all your help in sticking
with my issue. Sorry if I am misunderstanding things. As I learn, I
want my work to look professional.
Also, at what point do I use a preloader? Is it always
needed?

  • Table appears for a second before spry Master/Detail loads

    Hi!
    I'm using the Spry Master/Detail function on a page to display an interactive version of the table on the same page. On browser load, the table is briefly displayed before it is replaced by the Spry interactive table. Is there any way to avoid this? It looks kinda hokey.
    ps I know I could avoid it by putting the table on another page, but then it wouldn't be searchable.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry for butting in, Hi Beth,
    Considering the number of images that have to be loaded before the data can be displayed, the page is quite fast.
    There are a couple of things that can be done to make it load faster and to give it a feel that is is loading faster.
    To make it run faster consider
    compressing components with GZip, see here http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#gzip
    placing expiry headers on images, css and js see here http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#expires
    place the reference to js files further down, see here http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#js_bottom
    use a Content Delivery Network, see here http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#cdn
    To make it feel as though it runs faster, hide the contents until the data has been processed and issue a message or loading bar to that extent.
    1. add the following style rule to make use of the SpryHiddenRegion feature
    .SpryHiddenRegion {visibility:hidden;}
    2. change the first part of the Master/Detail region to
      <div class="MasterDetail">
        <div spry:region="dsepimediums">
         <div spry:state="loading" align="center"><h2>Loading data, please wait ...</h2></div>
          <div spry:state="ready">
            <div class="MasterContainer">
              <div class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="dsepimediums" spry:setrow="dsepimediums" spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected"><span spry:content="{Plant_Name}"></span></div>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div spry:detailregion="dsepimediums" class="DetailContainer SpryHiddenRegion">
          <div class="DetailColumn"><h2>{Plant_Name}</h2></div>
    Here we are making use of the various states that Spry goes through see here http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/1.4/help.html?content=WSFC2EB69F-9F15-4005-A993-B7667 BA7EB75.html
    We are also doing our best to hide our data until fully available see here http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/1.4/help.html?content=WSFC2EB69F-9F15-4005-A993-B7667 BA7EB75.html
    I hope this helps.

  • White box appears while switching between two desktops

    Hello all,
    Since few weeks I have a problem when I switch between two Desktops. Everytime I switch between them a white box appears in the left corner of my screen (see screenshot).

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My ipod touch wont turn on!! the apple logo appears for five seconds and then it goes to a black screen and it has been repeating this when im not even touching it!! help!!

    my ipod touch wont turn on! i pressed the power button and the white apple logo appeared for five seconds and went to a black screen, and then back to the logo for 5 secs and back to the black screen for 5 secs. im not touching my ipod and it is still doing this. i did leave it onover night to update ios, is this why??

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Mysterious white box appears when project published

    Hi all
    Another issue. When either either hit F4 to preview a project, or publish it to an .exe, a mysterious white box appears across a few of the slides.
    I've hunted for the cause of this box everywhere. It doesn't appear when I preview the same slides using F3. There are no objects in the timelines of those slides that would explain it.
    How do I get rid of this box appearing? It makes me want to remove this program from my computer altogether.

    Hi Clifford
    The path looks right. On my PC, with Desktop and Admin, my path settings for Discoverer look like this:
    %DISCO10%\bin; (171 files and 0 folders)
    %DISCO10%\jlib; (53 files and 1 folder)
    %DISCO10%\jre\1.4.2\bin\client; (2 files)
    %DISCO10%\jre\1.4.2\bin; (62 files and 1 folder)
    where %DISCO10% is c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1
    I can't see anything wrong with the path. This is very mystifying. I think you may have to speak with Oracle Support. Other than the Discoverer installation being corrupt with one or more files missing I can't think why you would be seeing a white console box. I'll keep researching and if I come upon anything I will let you know. To help I have listed alongside each of my locations the number of files and fodlers I have. If yours is different there is a possibility of a corruption.
    Best wishes

  • Because of low battery my iphone 5 got switched off and than its not starting by pressing the power button and in charge the white screen comes for 2 second and goes

    Because of low battery my iphone 5 got switched off and than its not starting by pressing the power button or by keeping it on charge. While charging a white screen comes for 2 second and goes away. This process continues till the phone is on charge. Please suggest how can I start my phone.

    Hello Ritugor,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    You can find the full article here:

  • How can I make my Logo appear after 10 seconds of loading the background?

    Hi,
    I have an animation Logo flash movie which I want to appear after 10 seconds of loading the background image (Panel_mc)?
    I am using Actionscript 3 to load the Logo.swf movie. The following is the whole code that I have on my action script page:
    stop();
    import fl.transitions.Tween;
    import fl.transitions.easing.*;
    var PanelTween:Tween = new Tween(Panel_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -400, 20, 5, true);
    var l:Loader=new Loader();
    addChild(l);
    l.load(new URLRequest("Logo.swf"));
    l.x = -20;
    l.y = -20;
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);
    function growLoader(evt:Event):void {
         l.width = 320;
         l.height = 185;
    Note: I need it because first the background will animate so no one can pay attention to my Logo. Once the background stops animation, My logo needs to be start (animation)?
    How can I do it using Actionscript 3.
    Hope somebody will help me.
    Thanks.

    If you look into the few code elements I mentioned, either in the help documentation or using Google, you will find examples that you can use/modify for your current project.  You'll learn more by doing some work yourself rather than having solutions handed to you. We are all learners... yes, it can be hard, but it gets easier when you work at it.

  • I updated my iPad to iOS 6 I face a problem to retrieve  my books in the iBooks and the videos as well all the other apps are fine , I am sure I did back up, the books appear for a second in the iBook then disappear? Thanks

    I updated my iPad2 to iOS 6 I face a problem to retrieve  my books in the iBooks and the videos as well . All the other apps are fine with full data. I am sure I did back up to my friend's mac book pro .The books appear for a second in the iBook then disappear? Thanks

    They gave me a brand new phone and I logged into all of my iCloud stuff, etc...
    When I try to go onto the Internet it will say its loading, loading, loading, then give up. Pandora has given up after one song. All other apps that need to connect to Internet or networks load and load and then give up. I will double tap the one button and close out all the apps and it may work for a second but no more. Then I will turn the phone off and the same thing happens.
    I have run out of ideas.

    It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

    - You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
    - Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
    - Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
    iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
    - Save the file
    - Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

  • Black (or White) Box appearing on photos sometimes when zooming in and out.

    I just recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CC and something really odd is happening:  On some zoom levels I have this empy black or white box appearing.  When I zoom in or out it disappears, or reappears. 
    However, when I save the file as a JPEG, or bring it into Google Nik it is OK.  It's almost like there is a software bug, or a bad memory spot in my video card.  Any suggestions? 

    Google updated the plugins recently to correct this problem:

    Hello, my ipod touch does sync photos from my pc but they can not be seen, instead a white box appears, although photos under "saved photos" r still visible
    plz help me.

    Vinay,
    Try removing all the photos from your iPod by disabling the option to Sync Photos from under your iPod's Photos tab in iTunes.  Then Apply the changes to remove the photos.  Then reapply that same option to sync them back over and see if that helps.
