Broken Preloader

The Preloader doesn't seem to work in Captivate 6. I'm using the default loading.gif with a Preloader Percent setting of 2% (we've used with perfect success for months in Captivate 5.5). When the file is published, it can take several minutes depending on the connection speed for the file to start. It seems like it's loading the entire file regardless of the Preloader settings. This is very different than files published in Captivate 5.5 that would start right up within seconds.
We are doing pretty standard courses with graphics, slides, and audio.
What has changed with the preloader to cause this type of behavior?

If you upgraded the course to Captivate 6 from version 5.5 the project may still be looking for the preloader in the old location under the Cp 5.5 install directory.
Open your project and look at the path that is currently set for the preloader in the Preferences > Project > Start and End section. If it is still pointing to the Cp 5.5 location, change it to point to the preloaders in Cp 6.

Applet stalls or loads slowly at preload

I'm currently working on setting up my a fairly complex flash
forms with a lot of tabs and validation. I have to say that it
really only loads smoothly one out of 4 times. The other times, I
run into issues when it says "initializing" or "Loading library".
Furthermore, it almost always stops at the library at 40%. In
short, there are handful of things going on in the preloader that
either lock it up or make it take close to a minute to load.
The actual application laods great once it loads and I don't
think people will mind waiting for a "long time" ... 10, 15... as
long as I can tell them that it WILL load. However, I think these
delays are very long and give the impression that they never will
load at all. Usually, if I just keep on refreshing, then eventually
it will load perfectly without a problem one of the times.
I've been doing a lot of seraching and most of the time I
just find people complaining about slow load times. However, I need
to find a solution. I'm going to go ahead and post a link to the
actual form and then a link to a text file that will show the code.
Please help!

Preloader for sound files

I don't know where to begin this task. I have a program that
plays mp3 files off of a cast that is on a CD-Rom (The entire
program must be run from the CD). So before each piece, the CD
drive has to spin up and load the next piece which makes for this
great delay. How would I go about showing a little animation (not
necessarily are real % loaded preloader) while this delay takes
place? So while the cd is spinning up and the piece is loading the
user will see something happening rather than thinking something is
broken. The program plays the pieces in order. So when one is
finished it moves on to the next, or the user may choose which
piece to listen to (and watch). Of course, when I run the program
with files on my hard drive there is no delay, but I don't want the
user to install anything on his hard drive.
Any suggestions?

By examining the result of the 'read' command.
I have added a line to the handler above. If you can open a
run-time
message window (_player.debugPlaybackEnabled = 1) then you
can examine
output. If you never see the message "accessing CD drive"
then the
handler isn't being called and your problem lies elsewhere.
Are you sure the #startMovie handler is in a #movie script,
not a #score
or #parent script?

Preloader for Feedrequest()

New to Flex but could not find solution to this after
searching for a few hours - both here and on the web.
My flex app sends a feed request for dynamically created XML
based on a passed in user var - While this is happening, I want to
show a "Loading" message instead of an empty dataGrid. I'm
concerned that my users will see the empty grid and think
somethings broken instead of realizing it might take more than 5
milli-seconds for the data to load up.
If anyone has any advice or links or sample code - it'd be
appreciated. I have had zero success using the preloader in the
application tag as the app loads quickly...
Thanks!

I don't think you can put a pre-loader on streaming video.
Although I'm not an expert. I would suggest a couple things though.
1. That quicktime is way to large. If you expect anyone to
wait for it, you're probably expecting too much. I've been waiting
for 5min now and nothing.
Solution: Have a smaller version of the file, and a link to
the high rez. That way, they get something, and can "download" the
high rez if desired.
2. You said you wanted to keep the QT higher resolution.
Well, Flash was built for internet bandwidth. You could convert to
FLV while maintaining high resolution. Do some testing and go with
what looks the best.
You could also mess with the frame rate. Cut the frames in
half, while maintaining resolution, and change audio to mono. That
should cut your file size down quite a bit.
3. If the above solutions don't work for you, try a having it
load in the background. You could have the site load first, and set
the parameters of the FLV playback to "Autoplay = False"

Status bar for multiple preloaded levels (kglad are you there?)

OK, ive been building a site for about a month now and slowly piecing it together- so far ive managed to get all my various different levels loading and unloading the way i want them to, but now id like a little status bar to load on screen as my multiple levels are loaded in the background.
The way ive been accomplishing this without the load bar is like so:
on first frame of main movie
loadMovieNum("dl_web.swf", 3);
loadMovieNum("dl_illustration.swf", 4);
loadMovieNum("dl_retouching.swf", 5);
(the first frame of each of those movies has a stop function on it)
And i have buttons on the main movie that make each of those levels visible and play.
NOW, ive just created a movie clip ive named "bar" which is a thin rectangle, and i would like to have that movie clip load lengthways as my multiple levels are loaded in the background. So, my question is how do i accomplish this? I've looked all over and it seems like all the good preload tutorials are loading into movieclips whereas i am loading into levels.
Right now my site is technically working, but there will be pauses for people with slower internet connections and i need my bar graphic to pop up so they dont think they are dealing with a broken site....

that code should be in a frame (like 1), that plays once. the playhead should not return to that frame.
oops, we also need:
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 3);
loadMovieNum("dl_illustration.swf", 4);
loadMovieNum("dl_retouching.swf", 5);
preloadI=setInterval(preloadF,200);
function preloadF(){
var bl:Number=0;
var bt:Number=0;
if(_level3.getBytesTotal()>0){
bl+=_level3.getBytesLoaded();
bt+=_level3.getBytesTotal();
if(_level4.getBytesTotal()>0){
bl+=_level4.getBytesLoaded();
bt+=_level4.getBytesTotal();
if(_level5.getBytesTotal()>0){
bl+=_level5.getBytesLoaded();
bt+=_level5.getBytesTotal();
if(bt>0){
bar._xscale = 100*bl/bt; //<- adjust this to suit your needs.
if(bl>0&&bl>=bt&&_level3.getBytesLoaded()>0&&_level4.getBytesLoaded()>0&&_level5.getBytesL oaded()>0){
clearInterval(preloadI);

Preloading in templates

i posted previously, but was not very clear. I originally
used preloads for the many rollover images in my site. I want to
remove them now, however every time I open a template, the <body
onload="..."> keeps reappearing. I am using library items and
have removed the preloads from them. I have tried removing them
from the code manually and using the tag inspector. But they keep
reappearing... very frustrating.
http://www.boyerrv.com
is the site, but you will probably need the templates... let
me know.

> I am using
> library items and have removed the preloads from them.
If you have preloads in a library item, then you have a
broken library item.
Well formed library items do not (MUST not) contain
<html>, <head>, or
<body> tags, thus there is no place to 'hang' a
preload.
To remove the preloads from the pages, you MUST remove them
from the
template page (why even bother though?). Open the template,
click on the
<body> shown on the QuickTag Selector bar at the bottom
of the document
window, open the behaviors panel with this body tag selected,
and select
"Preload Images" in the Behaviors panel. Click the "-" on the
behaviors
panel, and the behavior will be gone.
By the way, this is the same response I gave to you the first
time you
posted this question (more or less).

Layer suddenly gets broken in GL CS2

GL is behaving really buggy on my MacPro (OS 10.4.11). I have a page with only one layer. I've set up a dhtml timeline and everything is working fine. Until I close that page or GL crashes. When I reopen the page the layer in the layer inspector palette and the dhtml timeline is gone. However, it's still in the source code and I all the content on that layer is still there. And when I do a preview in a browser (Safari 3/FF 3) everything works fine. First I thought it was because of GL crashed on me that I rebuild the layer and it's content again. But I found out it also happens when I just close the file. The permissions on machine are fine and I also did a PRAM and emptied the GL cache. So what's going on here? It's a new template page and I want to be absolutely sure of before I start making dozens of pages out of a broken template.

Hi Michael, thanks for your response. Syntax check says: "no errors detected". Even with the dhtml timeline empty but working and a blank layer inspector palette. GL behaves so buggy that even closing a html page causes GL to crash. So working under these conditions is quite a nightmare.
I don't have much 3rd party actions or scripts installed. I only have
Actions:
Lightbox action
MindPalette > Multi preload
Extended scripts
SpamBlocker
Google Sitemaps
SaveAndRestore
Jscript Plugin
jquery-lightbox-0.5
None of these are used in this project yet. When finished I would like to use Google Siemaps on a few pages but that's not a strong demand.
I did some searching on the net about this issue but could not find more than that GL is sensitive to font problems and to installing CS2 after CS3. In my case I did install GL CS2 after installing CS3 but GL is the only CS2 app on this machine. I do have a slight font problem on this machine but that has to do with my Suitcase database file. I don't have double fonts floating around and have Suitcase to manage my system fonts and the fonts needed for Office 2008. I'd rather figure out what could be the problem than just re installing GL and hope for the best.

To preload or not to preload, that is the question

We will be adding a flash movie to our website. The movie
will be 30-45 seconds in legnth not really sure on the file size
yet but it will include some actual video footage. Is it better to
just let the movie stream, pre-load the entire movie, or is it
possible to preload part of the movie. Our target audience is B2B
so a majority of our users will be on braodband connections.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Preloader to estimate time for a function to finish?

Hello. I'm building an AIR project that uses images stored locally to perform some calculations using their bitmapData. In this app I browse my hard drive via an application menu command I created, select an image (using FileReference) and it loads. When it finishes loading, the calculations take place and the image is added to the stage. The larger the image, the longer this takes.
So far, so good.
I added a preloader to check the FileReference loading time and another for the loadBytes method I use later to be able to use the bitmapData. What surprised me was that both theses processes were very fast, but with larger images they were taking a long time to be added to the stage. Some tracing and commenting later, I discovered the culprit was one of the calculations I was doing, involving pixel counts. So my question is, is there any way to create a preloader for this function?
Thank you.

there is but it's not as easy as normal preloading.
you can break your code into smaller chunks, each of which completes and allows a stage update. here's a sample from a book being published later this year:
Loop types that execute from start to end before anything updates on stage include do-loops, for-loops and while loops. They cannot be used to animate objects because no matter what code you use to execute the loop and no matter what you do to (try and) slow it down, it will still execute from start to finish before anything changes on stage. They are appropriately used for rapid execution of code.
There is never a situation when you should intentionally slow these loops. However, there are situations when you might want to break these loops into more than one chunk so the stage can update between each chunk.
Chunks
For example, if you have a for-loop that takes 10 seconds to execute, your game will appear to freeze for 10 seconds after this loop starts. Nothing will update on stage and nothing will respond to user input. Either you should warn your user before starting that loop or you should break that loop into several smaller chunks that allow visual updates to the user so they do not think your game is broken.
For example, this for-loop that adds odd numbers (and shows the first m odd numbers sum to m*m) freezes my Flash Player for about 9 seconds.
var i:Number;
var n:Number=3000000000;
var s:Number=0;
var startI:Number=1;
var endI:Number=n
var startTime:int=getTimer();
for (i=startI; i<endI; i+=2) {
       s+=i;
// 9 seconds
trace((getTimer()-startTime)/1000,s,n*n/4,s-n*n/4);
The following technique shows how to break this (and any other for-loop) into chunks that allow the Flash Player to update every second.
var i:Number;
var n:Number=3000000000;
var s:Number=0;
var startTime:int=getTimer();
// This is the number chunks into which the previous for-loop will broken. If the // previous for-loop took about 9 seconds, using 10 chunks means there will be updates // about every 0.9 seconds.
var chunks:int=10;
var startI:Number=1;
var endI:Number=n/chunks;
var t:Timer=new Timer(100,1);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,f);
f();
function f(e:Event=null):void {
       for (i=startI; i<endI; i+=2) {
              s+=i;
       trace("stage update",startI,endI,s);
       if (endI<n) {
              t.reset();
              t.start();
       } else {
              trace((getTimer()-startTime)/1000,s,n*n/4,s-n*n/4);
       startI+=n/chunks;
       endI+=n/chunks;

Preloading SWFs

I have a project which, due to the large number of PNG files,
I have broken up into several smaller SWFs. I have so far
successfully managed to get them all to play in sequence using the
Load External Movieclip behaviour on the last frame of
each, so that it starts playing the first SWF and then
successively loads the next and then the next.
Now the problem: this project is NOT for playback on the
Internet, but rather will be used as a presentation. So I assumed
that using the Load External Movieclip would give smooth playback
as I don't have to take bandwidth into account.
However, each time a new Movieclip has to load, there is a
lag... if it is playing off a CD-ROM, the CD starts spinning again,
if it is on the local hard drive the lag is less but still
noticeable.
So how can I avoid this? Do I need to make a preloader for
this? Or can I put some ActionScript in the first movie which will
preload all the subsequent SWFs without needing to make a
preloader/progress bar?
And please in any answers, be as obtuse as possible... I'm
very, very new with AS!
Cheers

Under those conditions you can load everything right in the
beginning and just wait for everything to load up. That puts all
the
loading lag up front in one lump without spreading the lag
through the whole presentation. Since it's loading locally you
don't
have to worry about the wait.
Since you would be loading everything, you don't want
everything to show, just parts of it. To do that you can either set
visibility to off for movieclips that you load into or
position out of view or the option that I like.. Make all the
external swfs
have a blank frame 1 and a stop command. When you want to
hide them, move them to frame 1. When you want to show them, move
them
to frame 2 and play. Each swf can have it's own preloader
that does nothing more than set a flag variable to notify the main
swf
that it is loaded.
Details if you need it.

Problem with Preloader in my Flash AS2 Game

I have been using this tutorial to make a preloader:
http://www.republicofcode.com/tutori.../preloader_bc/
I have run into one problem though.
When I simulate the download, it just shows the background color of the game while it loads, and when it finished loading, it shows the loading screen fully loaded. I have followed the tutorial exactly, except added my file names into the AS2 code.
Here is the ActionScript in Frame 1 I have for the preloader:
if (_root.getBytesTotal() != _root.getBytesLoaded()){
stopAndGoto(1);
preloaderBar._xscale=(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100;
loaderTxt.text=Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)+"%";
Any hints or answers to what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks, MrA615.

Your description of what you've done and the code you show does not match what the tutorial says to do and what code to use... (there is no stopAndGoTo() function in Flash).
Right-click the second frame on the upper layer labeled Actions and select Actions. Copy and paste the code below to make our preloader functional.
if (_root.getBytesTotal() != _root.getBytesLoaded()){
gotoAndPlay(1);
bar_mc._xscale=(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100;
loader_txt.text=Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)+"%";

With the default options on i can make it run, but i get no sound of the racks or guitar effects processors neither the guitar tuners that use jack takes the sound from the guitar. My line input is in capture via alsamixer, but still no luck. Any clue on this? I'm skipping steps?
Thanks in advance.

I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two. This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G. On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar. I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?

Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone. If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events. Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

HT1384 My lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch is broken, and I need some assistance.

As the title suggests, I can not use the lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch, it is broken. I can use Adaptive Touch to turn the screen on and off at will, and also turn my device off. But if I turn it off, I don't know how to get it to turn back on. Could I just plug it into a charger and turn it back on, or would I need to plug it into my computer? Please help, in a few days I won't have access to it for 9 weeks, I need immediate help.

If you power off the iPod, it will turn back on if you connect it to a charger like a wall charger or a computer. I just checked with a charging source to confirm. I knew it did it with a computer.

Error during 10.8.2 Update - Appstore and iTunes Broken

Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me with this one.
I just installed the 10.8.2 update trough App Store, then it asked me to restart my computer... During the restart some error message appeared saying that the installation could not be completed due to an unexpected error, and then restarted my computer automatically.
The problem is, now both my App Store and iTunes are broken, here are the details of the error message I get when I try to launch App Store either normally or using the Apple > Software Update menu option:

I had this problem too.
Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1580
Download the update manually and install. Worked on my MBP15 retina.
