Flash Preloader Issue

I have tried several methods of flash preloading for some
large flash movies I have. The loader indicator flashes for just a
brief moment and then there is blank data until the file loads. I
am using Go-live CS2. I had a friend publish the same code using a
different site and a different editor and it works. Does Go-live do
something weird to preloaders? Or, is it possible that my site
providers server is blocking script to prevent it from working? Any
ideas would be appreciated. If you have a suggestion of a preloader
that is for dummies like me, please send me a link. Thanks!

AS2 / AS3 Flash Preloader issue.

[ moved from AS1/2 forum ]
Hi every one,
I'm testing the new capabilities on Flash Pro CS6. And I'm stuck around here as most of my coding are AS1 / AS2 and when I try to make the coding for AS3 one part of my pre-loading is not functional any more. Basically the Dynamic Text does not shows up. Maybe if you take a look into my code you can tell me where I'm wrong.
This is the new AS3 code for my preload scene. I have created this stage to load just one image on the 2nd frame. And it works except for the text that it does not displays the text inside the following instances: percent_txt, ofBytes_txt and totalBytes_txt
I appreciate any ideas you may provide to me pls.
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
function loaderF(e:Event):void{
          var toLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
          var loaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
          var total:Number = loaded/toLoad;
          if(loaded == toLoad) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
                    gotoAndStop(2);
          } else {
                    preloader_mc.preloaderFill_mc.scaleX = total;
                    preloader_mc.percent_txt.text = Math.floor(total*100)+ "%";
                    preloader_mc.ofBytes_txt.text = loaded + "bytes";
                    preloader_mc.totalBytes_txt.text = toLoad + "bytes";
This is the result when testing,
Thank you so much and kind regards !!
Joel.

You have to set the values initally
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
function loaderF(e:Event):void{
          var toLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
          var loaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
          var total:Number = loaded/toLoad;
          preloader_mc.preloaderFill_mc.scaleX = total;
          preloader_mc.percent_txt.text = Math.floor(total*100)+ "%";
          preloader_mc.ofBytes_txt.text = loaded + "bytes";
          preloader_mc.totalBytes_txt.text = toLoad + "bytes";
     if(loaded == toLoad) {
       removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
                    gotoAndStop(2);
what you original code was saying was after all the info was loaded to then set the text to the variables listed, you have to set it first and once the info is finally loaded go to the second frame.

Flash Player Issue with Windows 8.1 Professional

Hi guys,
I'm currently having issues with Flash Player on Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1. It seems that the Flash Player has been disabled when I access http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html.
However, when I logged off the my domain account and use my local account, I'm able to test Flash Player.
Therefore, the only thing I can think of is the Group Policy that is blocking the Flash Player as I've resetted IE settings on my domain account.
Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery.
Thanks!!

Go to control panel and go to program and features and uninstall existing adobe player
and adobe flash player activex both....
Then select windows 8 and flash player from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Install and check..

Flash Preloading - Not Simple

I am new, but to the extent that I have a full flash site
that works great. I cannot get any preloaders to work. Lets be
honest, I cannot even begin. Everyone assumes an expert, even the
'simple flash preloader' sites.
Why not just use the component in Flash CS3? Why can't Adobe
help with this instead of sending me to google to get preloader
ideas? Why is the WMODE=transparent command not recommended if you
want transparency (as a supposive fix to the white box)? Preloaders
are not simple for non-developers.
Simply, I have a background.jpg in an HTML document. I load a
flash in a table on top. It shows white in the table before the
flash loads. Adobe's answer is to use a preloader. OK. Great. I
found several, all of which insert so many variables that I can't
tell what is really a variable or not. I have no desire to become a
preloader retailer....OK? I just need a preloader. Explicatives
removed. I simply want to load literally "video1.swf" without
getting a white box. A progress bar would be nice. Will this be a
seperate flash (swf), or will it be inserted in the timeline as
seperate layers in the timeline to play before the original frames?
Must I combine my original video1 file into a movie symbol, then
manipulate it in another timeline with a preloader?
Please do not assume ANYTHING. I need to get this done once
and for all.
Please, just make it simple. Attached is some code I found.
Can it be edited to work with the "ProgressBar" in CS3? If there is
an option, a seperate swf would be better as I have several pages
that are setup the exact same way.
Thank you.

Seeing white is nothing to do with a preloader - set the bg
of your movie to
other than white. If you're using something like SWFObject to
embed your
Flash in the HTML, make sure it's not set to a white bg also.
Aside from that a preloader is not too difficult to build -
and the code you
gave as a sample is bad code, which is likely the source of
your problems. I
don't have Flash 9 yet, but in 8 you would want to use the
MovieClipLoader
class to load in your swf. It has an onLoadProgress method
that you can make
use of to build a progress bar.
Try this for a tutorial:

Installing Flash Player Issues

I have a Windows 8 Operating Sysytem and I use IE version 8. I have downloaded the latest flash player numerous times and it continues not to work. So can someone please help me install it?????? Thanks in advance

If you have Windows 8, you CANNOT use IE 8, because Windows 8 comes with IE 10 preinstalled and it WON'T accept a lower version.
In addition, Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 is modified and embedded by Microsoft. It's "their baby" so to speak. It can ONLY be updated through Windows Update (in your Control Panel under System and Security).
Microsoft released a "Tuesday patch" November 12 to update Flash Player for IE10 and IE11 in Windows 8 and 8.1.
If you run the update and still have problems, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html for more steps to take.

Would flash player issues cahnge desktop icons?

I'm starting a seperate discussion on this issue as it is truly different than my other postings
I use Vista Home premium
I have many icons on my desk top, mostly shortcuts to program. Yesterday I had to reboot several times when trying to update to ne flash player.
Then upon one reboot, I noticed that some, just like 3, Icons changed.
Example
icon for the shortcut to itunes looked like the icon picture for the game dinerdash
icon for shortcut to the game Bakerydash looked like the icon for spider solitaire
now when I would right click on these shortcuts, they would show the proper data for the shortcut they truely were Whe I would right click on the icon and then select change icon, the only option there was the actual correct icon. I'd hit apply, but it did not good.
I ran virus/spyware scans and all were clean.
Could it be because of flash player issues? or because I had rebooted several times in a row and did not allow the system to fully reboot before trying the next reboot??
Like I would reboot and then 7 minutes later reboot again. Could that cause the icons to screw up a little?

I don't know what changed the desktop icons, but it is one of these things that just happen sometimes.
Windows XP had a great tool, TweakUI (from Windows Power Toys), that has a 'Repair Icons' function. Microsoft never released a TweakUI version for Vista, but I know that a 3rd-party version of TweakUI for Vista can be found on the Internet (Google will find it for you).
I would try to use this to repair your desktop icons.
P.S. since this TweakUI is not a Microsoft tool, I recommend to make a System Restore point before running it; just in case...

Exported Flash IIS issue

Hi,
I have exported an Encore project to Flash and it works ok locally.
When i copy the all the exported files onto a Webserver, then create a virtual directory pointing to it, the main menu appears yet none of the video plays.
The source folder etc has been copied over, as i see that has been an issue in previous posts.
The server is Win2003 and the virtual directory is added to the default web site.
I am making no amendments to the exported files except moving them to a webserver.
Can anyone please help?

The only Encore/Flash related issue that could be going on is that you haven't copied ALL of the items used (the source folder, the .html, the .swf). But, since you said you did all that, then I don't know why that wouldn't work for you.
In the URL, do you have a trailing "/" at the end? That can play a role. Also, check case-sensitivity (type in the URL exactly as the folder is listed).
I'm sure you've got your own reasons for using virtual directory...however, have you tried setting up the Flash DVD on the site any other way to at least determine whether or not your virtual directory setup is the source of the problem? Try setting it up some other way....if it works, then you at least have a better idea where the problem lies. If it still doesn't work, then....something may well be missing, despite your best efforts to ensure a 100% transfer.
Good luck!

Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS
There is a search box on the right-hand side of this page for further info.

Flash CS5 AS3 Preloader Issues

Hi.
I'm a complete novice with Flash and at risk at looking like 'Dumbest Poster of the Year', I'm requesting help/advic over a couple of issues.
My first concern is with a very simple preloader I've made for a movie. Here is the code (posted in first frame of movie; nothing else is in the frame except for the preloader itself):
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
function loaderF(e:Event):void{
var toLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var loaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
var total:Number = loaded/toLoad;
if(loaded == toLoad) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
PreLoader.PreLoaderFill.scaleX = total;
PreLoader.PercentLoaded.text = Math.floor(total*100) + "%";
When I simulate a download, the preloader works fine in all the settings except for 'T1'. On this setting, the movie loads to about 20% then the preloader stops, the movie begins and I receive the following error message in the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at FlashFront1_fla::MainTimeline/loaderF() .
The movie itself plays fine on all settings, including 'T1'. Debug doesn't report any issues on preloader or movie.
Can anybody give me any idea what the source of the issue is? Should I even be concerned about it givne that the movie plays without a problem?
My second question relates to the 'Simulate Download' pre-settings in Flash. I know their are people out there still on 56K dial-up, or with 'broadband' running at 500 KBS (in the UK at least), but nevertheless, the download simulation settings seem like they are all geared to internet as it was in 1997 and are hardly reflective of the capacity of modern connections. Why is this?
My movie is not large (about 320KB). Should I even be bothering with a preloader or am I wasting my time for a small minority audience (much like the web designers who still produce sites for the 12 people in the world still browsing in 800 x 600 res)?
Thanks for any help/advice.

Flash movies stream down and finish "loading" when the first frame and content that loads on the first frame is available, though frame 1001 might not be downloaded yet. You would think you'd be kinda safe with frame 2 on a T1, but I think the issue is things aren't updating in the right order rather than things not really being downloaded. Heck, it could even just be the T1 simulation that's causing problems.
Debug Movie probably isn't showing issues because it slows the timing enough to make everything ok. You could try trace statements too to see how far the code gets.
Also, you might try a full scale AS3 loader like this one http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3loader/
I've found the Event.COMPLETE listener for the loader like this:
my_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishLoading);
to be pretty accurate so far in regards to content truly being loaded where as previous methods gave false positives for loading.

Flash catalyst issues ??preloader??

hi guys i'm making a banner and what i have done is i have made two flash banners that can be changed by pressing two different buttons in flash catalyst but i get an error saying it cannot export because of an error in the code. i found the code error and it's saying "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method sWFController_clickHandler." i'm thinking i need a pre-loader but i don't know how to add one to my banner in flash catalyst. any one able to help?

Preloader Issues Flash CS3 Actionscript 2

My preloader is acting all sorts of strange. I have other
layers that are supposed to be visible at the same time as the
preloader, and sometimes they are there, but sometimes only the
dynamic text box of the preloader shows and nothing else. It seems
to happen about every other time I load or refresh the page.
Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? It's working
half the time.
Is it something with the way my layers are ordered that the
rest aren't showing up?
Here is the link to the site:
www.kathryngillespie.com
I know it takes a while to load on some connections...I'm a
flash newbie and I'm going to go back and change the section with
the images and optimize them better to get the size down.
I can also email a picture of my time line setup because I
don't see an option to post it here.
Thanks in advance!

I found the solution!
it's vista who makes it lag :(
i set the compatibily to windows XP and now it runs fast as
hell :D
