Basic Preloader help

Hi I have a pretty basic html website. with 10 or so pages,
each one has a large picture on it that takes a long time to load.
Is there a way so that when people first get to my site i
have a page that loads all these pictures then when done they click
to proceed to my site?
Many Thanks

There is no free lunch. A large image will load as if it were
a large
image.

So - you want them to stare at a screen that says "loading,
please wait"
while all those images load? I'd just leave, and most other
people would
too.
Why are your images so large?

Preload help

Hi there,
I will first admit that I use director mostly for moving
sprites and playing sounds, but when it comes to the script, I
suck. I am good at other types of scripting, and I have the general
idea of how to get the formula of a script to fuction, but I can
never get it going 100%. I am in desperate need of a preload
script, I know It's a hassle to see these n00b requests all the
time, but if someone could look at my script and tell me where I am
going wrong, it would be a big help. I only need this script to
work then I can apply it to all my work. Thanks in advance! :)
Movie has 1900 frames.
Here is my script, in frame 1:
on exitFrame
preLoad 0, 1900
if preLoad(0, 1900) = true then
go to "a"
end if
end
It accepts the script, but when it runs it comes back with:
Script Error: Function not defined
if preLoad(0, 1900) = true then
All i want to do is have this preload set up in frame 1, to
load the total frames, then advance to frame 2 (with the marker "a"
is) where a "play" button is on the stage.
Regards,
TMK.

That isn't usually necessary as Director is usually good at
loading assets
as needed, and it isn't usually desirable to potentially fill
up the RAM on
the user's computer - indeed, unloading members when they're
finished with
can be very helpful.
If you're doing a Shockwave movie, google for "lingo
preloader". In
particular, the articles at lingoworkshop.com are useful.
Then in the google
results page click on "Groups" up near the top and have a
browser through
what's been written before in this ng.

Preloader help pls

hi all i have a burning question which i really need an answer to,
basically i have a preloader and i want it to load each section when called with this code:
callback function///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////
caps_mc.btn_continue_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextpls);
function nextpls(e:MouseEvent):void {
 MovieClip(parent.parent).nextSWF("startPage", parent);
the code above tells the preloader that it is finished with the startPage and in the preloader it should next load faq,
but i get an error saying that nextSWF is not a function when it clearly is,
is it even possible to use a preloader to load up swfs in this way??
preloader///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var loadedSWF:Loader
var progressPercent:Number;
function startLoad(SWFName:String):void {
loadedSWF = new Loader();
loadedSWF.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gameLoaded);
loadedSWF.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
loadedSWF.load(new URLRequest(SWFName+".swf"));
//track progress
function onProgressHandler(loadingProgress:ProgressEvent){
var percent:Number = loadingProgress.bytesLoaded/loadingProgress.bytesTotal;
progressPercent = Math.round((percent*100));
preload_mc.gotoAndStop(progressPercent);
preload_mc.myloadtext_txt.text=(progressPercent + " %")
preload_mc.myloadbar_mc.scaleX = percent;
preload_mc.mc_mask.height=(progressPercent * 3);
preload_mc.ofBytes_txt.text = loadingProgress.bytesLoaded + " bytes";
preload_mc.totalbytes_txt.text = loadingProgress.bytesTotal + " bytes";
function gameLoaded(e:Event):void{
removeChild(preload_mc);
this.addChild(loadedSWF);
loadedSWF.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gameLoaded);
loadedSWF.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
function nextSWF(whichSWFName, removeSWF){
 this.removeChild(removeSWF.parent);
 if(whichSWFName == "startPages"){
 startLoad("faq");
startLoad("startPages");
here is the error
TypeError: Error #1006: nextSWF is not a function.
at startPages_fla::MainTimeline/nextpls()[startPages_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:7]
if anyone can help i would be most grateful, i am hoping to be able to have a re-useable preloader
thanks in advance
fonzio

hmm trace comes back will null
the way it goes is, i have a trial.swf
which is the preloader which loads start page in ok
on press of a button on start page i was hoping it would tell that preloader to go and relaunch but this time load ("faq"), i can use this code on a normal loader and everything will work fine the child is removed and another one loaded in, however the code itself needs to be in preloader form as the load takes a while to complete.
i do have some other code inside of the start page mc maybe this is affecting everything going correctly
its does this kind of check

Basic script help for a newbie?!?!

Need help with a basic script, I need to display 5 input fields in a single dynamic field. And i need them to have a certain order of display, ie: input 1 is displayed on line 1, 2 on the next line, etc. any help would be appreciated
I have been trying various scripts but i either make the second input field replace the first one, or i cant get the vars to populate the field with a button.. Im kinda lost.

Show what you have tried so far that give you the results where you either replace fields or can't get vars to populate them with a button.

Some basic questions: Help defining Real World Classes

I am trying to write a small applet using proper OO concempts and Java technique and I'm confused on the proper way to do this. I think I know several ways that work and have all the peices I need such as JMail and JDBC drivers, but would appreciate help on understanding how to properly structure my classes and objects.
The application will simply do the following: I have a database table that receives a new entry when a truck is late for its delivery. When this new record is created, I need to send an email to the driver manager who will then decide (via a jsp page) whether the customer should receive an email about the late delivery. For each truck, there will only be one driver manager and one client to be notified.
What I'm confused about is what classes and objects to create (and why). My first thought is to create a LateTruck class, a DriverManager class and a Customer class and have the LateTruck class call up the DriverManager to send an email then have the JSP page reinstantiate the LateTruck and instantiate the Customer class to send the email to the client.
If I do it this way, is there a proper way to send the email? Do I send the email as a method in LateTruck which gets the email address from DriverManager such as
LateTruck.Order1234.SendEmail(DriverManager.JoeBlow.Email)
or do I use LateTruck to write the email message which I then pass to DriverManager such as
DriverManager.JoeBlow.SendEmail(message)
Should I even break up the applet into three classes and objects? Since each LateTruck only needs one DriverManager and one Client, is the proper way to do this to create only one class called LateTruck which has DriverManager, DriverManagerEmail, ClientName and ClientEmail all as properties of LateTruck?
Thanks for any help in understanding the basics here.

Is that the story of Static Write and the Seven Classes and the evil stepmother Wilma Gates who kept asking "Mirror Site, Mirror Site on the web, who's got the buggiest InterDev?

Doubts in XI basics..help me with some practical examples

hi friends,
I am new to SAP XI have some basic doubts. Answer my questions with some practical examples.
1. what is meant by "Business System" and what is difference between client,customer,Business partner,3rd party
2.If a small company already using some systems like Oracle or peopleSoft,if it wants to use SAP products then what steps it has to follow.
3. SAP system means a SERVER?
4.SAPWebAs means a server software?
5.R/3 system comes under SAP system?
6.XI is also one of the SAP module..how it relates to other modules.
7.In one organization which is using SAP modules,each module will be load in separate servers?
8.PO(purchase order) means just looks like one HTML file..customer will fill the form and give it.like this,Combination of many files like this is one SAP module.Is it right assumption..?if so,then what is speciality SAP?
I have an theoretical knowledge about IR and ID and SLD.what are general business transactions happens in any business ?(like who will send cotation,PO) give some practical example for what actually happens in business?..who will do what?and what XI will do?

Hi Murali,
 1.Business System
Business systems are logical systems that function as senders or receivers within the SAP Exchange Infrastructure(XI).
Before starting with any XI interface,the Business systems involved has to be configured in SLD(The SLD acts as the central information provider for all installed system components in your system landscape.)
business system and technical system in XI
2.Third Party
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/09/6beb170d324216aaf1fe2feb8ed374/frameset.htm
eg.For the SAP system a Bank would be a third-party which would be involved in interfaces involving exchange of data(Bill Payment by customer).
3.XI(Exchange Infrastructure)
It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other.
Eg.If an interface involves Purchase Order sent from SAP system to the vendor(Non-SAP system)then,the vendor might expect a file.But the Data is in the IDOC(intermediate document) form with the SAP system.Here XI does the work of mapping the IDOC fields and the File fields and sends it to the vendor in the form of a file.
In short,always the scene is Sender-XI-Receiver.
The Sender and the Receiver depends upon the Business you are dealing with.
4.Business Partner
A person, organization, group of persons, or group of organizations in which a company has a business interest.
This can also be a person, organization or group within this company.
Examples:
Mrs. Lisa Miller
Maier Electricals Inc.
Purchasing department of Maier Electricals Inc.

Basic FCP Help for beginner

Thanks in advance for looking at my post.
I have a uni project whereby i have to make a music video for a song previously recorded.
I have videoed various shots of my band playing along to the recorded song.
They all start at different times (i.e start of video clip does not match with audio clip) yet i know that over the whole song they are in time with each other as i had the drummer play along to the recording using headphones.
So what im trying to do is load up all of the clips into FCP alongside the audio, adjust the start position for the various video clips so that they synchronise with the audio, and then lock them into place.
I would then like to cut them up into clips and move the parts that i want to use down onto the main video timeline so that they are in time with the audio.
I am mainly encountering problems with having to render these 3 minute video clips just to see if they line up with the audio which is a very time consuming process. Is there any way to use the markers and tell them to lock together, that is put a marker on the audio timeline, put markers on each video clip at the same point and line them up/snap them into place.
Any help would be much appreciated, as i mentioned in the subject i am a complete apple/FCP beginner having only done basic videos where i didnt need to have such synchronicity between audio and video.
Also on a side note when i load up the video clips into the timeline, they creat new lines V2,V3 and so on. Am i right in assuming that V1 is the final rendered timeline, or does FCP show all of the V# if they have footage on them?
Tl:dr help
Message was edited by: y0ukn0ws1t

Thanks for the response, i have looked at a few video tutorials, but i cant find one that deals with multiple video takes over a common audio take.
Are v2,3 etc slates to load up video before aligning/cutting and placing onto V1 (the main video sequence)??
With regards to this video
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/harringtonrichard/final_cut_multicamedit.php
Am i right in assuming once i have lined up all the video clips to sync with the audio i can set in and out markers on the video clips to tell FCP to use the sections that i want of each take?

again ive got scene 2 for my preloader and scene 1 which is my main
movie...
im looking to use not only a progress bar component... but
possibly a byte's loaded as well if that is possible...if that's to
much of an issue then ill just use the progress bar component..
ive got multiple progress bar components:
the byte's preloader set

thanks for your help...

Thanks for the assistance. I managed to get it figured out.
Corrected the target paths (listed below):
stop();
_root.holder_mc.loadingBar._xscale = 1;
var loadingCall:Number = setInterval(preloadSite, 50);
function preloadSite():Void {
var siteLoaded:Number = _root.holder_mc.getBytesLoaded();
var siteTotal:Number = _root.holder_mc.getBytesTotal();
var percentage:Number = Math.round(siteLoaded/siteTotal*100);
_root.holder_mc.loadingBar._xscale = percentage;
_root.holder_mc.percentClip.percentDisplay.text = percentage
+ "%";
trace("Percentage is Working");
_root.holder_mc.percentClip._x =
_root.holder_mc.loadingBar._x + _root.holder_mc.loadingBar._width;
_root.holder_mc.bytesDisplay.text = "loaded " + siteLoaded +
" of " + siteTotal + " bytes";
trace("Site Loaded is Working");
if (siteLoaded >= siteTotal) {
clearInterval(loadingCall);
gotoAndStop(5);
Text field was visible, font just needed to be embedded. As a
note I placed a dynamic text box that spec'd _sans as the font with
the 'use device fonts' option picked. I had to respec a different
font and embed it into the swf.
Thanks again for the assistance!

Basic Newbie Help

I am sorry but I have found the docs to be a little on the sparse side. I am a developer and it seems that the docs were written by a developer that knows the system. Having NEVER implemented a proxy server before I am having a dificult time making heads or tails of implementing filtering and templates. I know their concepts and I know regex very well. I dug around looking at the obj.conf file to see if I could see how what I was doing on the admin server translated to configuration.
When I go to the Filters page for the default proxy server what the heck do I choose / do? When I select a resource from the drop down list what are those exactly? The ones like "https://.*" look to me like a regulare expression that would go with an allow/deny or some other rule set. But its something I get to choose.
Then there is the Credit/Edit Filters section that creates filters. That seems pretty straightforward but I do not know how they relate (if they do) to the resource that is selected in the Resource Selection combo box.
I assume that when you create a filter you then select it from the ALLOW or DENY list and then apply it.
No matter what I do it doesn't work right and I get all denied or all allowed. Then ther eis a template. Besides being a list of URL's how does it releate to everything else on this page?
I know this is a free product but some more effort on the docs in this VERY IMPORTANT area would be nice.
If these topics have been covered in posts, blogs, or other please direct me to them so that I can read and learn ... if not could someone that knows this aspect of Sun Proxy Server take 5 or 10 minutes and explain how these things interrelate so that I at least know how the user interface is supposed to be used.
thanks
Doug

Rahul, thanks for the reply.
In order for me to be able to manually modify the obj.conf file I need to know a few basics rules first. I would actually prefer to create the url files by hand as you suggest but unless I know where things go then it will be a lot of trial and error. I will look at the examples folder for help as well. But I have a few simple questions to get me started. These questions are based on the "Filters" tab for the proxy instance.
1) At the moment I am not doing NSAPI filters (well I don't know if I am I don't know what they are yet) I am only creating regex filters though the UI at the moment. Are those NSAPI filters?
2) Under Resource selection, there is a drop down list of existing resources and one called the entire server. I assume that the filters you create and operate upon are somehow linked with this resource, is that correct?. For now I am just trying the "entire server" resource but if I were to also create a filter for say the https:// resource which resource would rule the day. Example, if I say that www.google.com is allowed for the entire server but under the http:// resource I saw it is not allowed which resource rule takes precedense?
3) The Create and Edit filters area is self explanatory however I do not see how (through the UI) to delete a filter or disassociate it from the resource "entire server"
4) Under Operate Filters there are two drop downs for Allow and Deny. I assume again that this will set a url list to either be allowed or denied for the resource selected like "the entire server"
According to the admin UI I have a whitelist url file set for allow and NONE set for deny. The whitelist url contains the following (grabbed from the WhiteList.url file)
.*://www\.google\.com/.*
I have also tried .*://www\\.google\\.com/.*
Unless my regex is wrong I should be able to get out right? I get the following browser message:
This URL is not allowed to be proxied.
What I find odd is that even though I have selected the WhiteList for allow and NONE for deny the obj.conf file still has entries for two other url file filters I created the other day (dougs and dougs-deny) Whay are they still there ?
Here is my obj.conf.

AS3 Preloader Help.

Can someone kindly show me/point me into the right direction on as to how to make a custom preloader. But the thing is i want it inside of a URL function.. Which is where im struggling. Can someone help? Many thanks.

I don't see anything in there that resembles an attempt to build a preloader and still cannot determine what you are referring to as a URL function. One thing I will suggest is that you break up your loader code a bit so that you assign the event listeners to it before you start loading as shown below. Cramming a series of operations into one line is not always the best way to go...
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=Scot tMitchell");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
loader.load(urlReq);
If you look in the Flash help documentation in the URLLoader class section, at the very end of that section it shows a variety of events being coded, including the PROGRESS event that I added above. That may help you get a better start on what you want to do.

Basic networking help

I know this is a basic question but can anyone point me to a guide or tutorial that will help me setup a network between two macs.
I have a AirPort Extreme able iBook G4 and Powerbook G4(my roommate and I) and we are wanting to be able to do three things. It is also wise to note that we are using a Netgear WGR614 v.4 wireless router. We have it set up now that we can both connect to the internet wirelessly and wired without any problems.
I will start here by saying we BOTH have our firewalls off under the 'sharing' folder in Sys Prefs
We want now to be able to transfer files amongst ourselves, browse each others iTunes music, maybe even connect to one anothers printer. In the past we managed to exchange a file through our Public folder's "Drop Box". This took us awhile to sort out what to do and got it to work by chance, then next time tried to do it again and it wouldn't work. Also as it is now I can open my finder and click "Networks" and see and alias to her computer, but I cannot connect it says the ip is incorrect or does not exist. Finally if we both have iTunes open, we can see each others computer listed but cannot connect to one another, odd thing is when either of us is at school on that network we can both see other people's computers and listen to their music, so our settings must be set up right.
So is there a walkthrough, tutorial or guide that may resolve my problems? I have tried a few searches on the net as well as the mac site and nothing has been helpful yet.
re-cap. want to share files across local network. itunes browsing, and printer sharing.
Thanks in advance

The File Sharing information can be found in KB 106461, Mac OS X: About File Sharing.
KB 93365, Finding and Listening to Shared iTunes Music Libraries
For Printer Sharing, on the Mac connected to the printer via USB open the Sharing preference pane and enable Printer Sharing.

LStudio 9-New User-Basic questionsPls help!

Just learning to use Logic Studio (LS) after working on Nuendo/Cubase.I have some basic questions & would have more as I Keep exploring & would appreciate your help & patience in answering these questions.
To start with I would like to know how to raise the volume level of the wave form of a track.I just imported a few wave files into a new project but the visible wave levels on some tracks are very small.In Nuendo there used to be a 'handle' & we click on the track & just raise the level by moving the mouse upward.Is this possible in LS or is there any other way to raise the wave level on the track apart from raising the track volume through the mixer?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

I'm going to be keeping this thread open for those who are patient enough to answer my basic questions as I explore Logic Studio!As I read the manual your valuable input would be of much help.My knowledge of working in Nuendo seems to make things a lot more complex while working on Logic Studio.
In Nuendo/Cubase I only knew non-destructable editing.I would like to know if there is such an undo function in Logic Studio.I think I came across an Undo function that could be done only 4 times! Not sure about that!
Also while editing on a track is there any other way to edit directly other than going into the sample editor?
Can I normalize a track directly without going into the sample editor?

Preloader help needed

We created our portfolio in Flash
Flash Photo Portfolio
and now need a preloader. We were able to create one that waits
until the entire swf is loaded. We need a visual to indicate that
the movie is loading but don't want our viewers to have to wait for
the entire swf to load.
We don't want a dead black screen upon the calling of the
movie, but we don't want to wait for the entire movie to load
before the presentation begins. We have no problem creating the
graphics, it's the scripting help we need. Can anyone point us in a
direction? Thanks!
Dick

Here's the preloader I used, highly customizable:

How-to Basics or Help that doesn't...

I've been away from Flash for almost 10 years and now that I'm returning I remember doing certain things but I can't remember HOW to do them.
Back then I could open the Help file, search and quickly find an answer. NOW - I open the help file, search and get nothing but irrelevant answers when ALL I WANT is very basic instructions. I've tried the on-line tutorials and, while they help, they aren't comprehensive and often skip over very basic but crucial details. I've tried searching the forums and I get even more irrelevant notes. It seems that no one is asking basic questions or the threads that deals with the basics just don't show up in my search results.
know that once I get started, it will all seem to be very simple but it's so hard to get started. There has got to be a better way.
While I'm here, I may as well what ask for what I'm looking for - how to you apply a label to a frame?
Thanks.

Thank you - like I said, it's so obvious but I just didn't notice the label section under properties. This has taught me one more thing about CS4 - you have to look further than the menus when looking for answers.
Thanks again.
