I have a preloader, but...
I have an mp3 file in a Flash movie using Flash MX.
The movie purely consists of the mp3 file and a stop and play
button.
I would like the music (or movie) to play when 50% loaded and
I am searching the net to find a way.
I already have a preloader which works perfectly using the
following actionscript...but I'd like to know what to tweak in
order to make the music (movie) play when 50% loaded. My current
action script is as follows...
lBytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
loader.bar._xscale = percentLoaded;
loader.percent.text = percentLoaded + "% of " +
Math.floor(tBytes/1024) + "K loaded.";
if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>0) {
if (count>=12) {
gotoAndStop("main");
} else {
count++;
gotoAndPlay("preload");
} else {
gotoAndPlay("preload");
....I know that there are other ways of playing mp3 on Flash
(ie. Media Playback Component and a multitude of templates on the
net) however I find that the Flash players that load the mp3
externally play at different speeds in different browers, so
becuase of this I choose to have the mp3 located within the flash
movie to avoid any inconsistancies amongst browsers. All I require
is actionscript that makes the music (or movie) play when 50%
loaded.
I'm gonna continue to search for an answer, and if I find a
solution I will update my post.
Thanks!
You can see the swf file in the following htm page...
http://www.plobs.com/theme_song.htm
Thanks for the info.
I tried the action script provided, but it didn't
work...maybe I inserted it in the wrong place.
Anyhow, I am currently trying out your other suggestion. I'm
in the process of creating the mp3 with 44HZ.
If that doesn't work (fingers crossed it will), I will have
another play around with the action script.

Using Preloader But Content Not Loading
Hi.
Here's the Cliffs Notes version:
I've a 2 frame movie: Frame 1 is the preloader; Frame 2 a movie clip (web site).
Both work fine individualy, but the dynamic content I want pre-loaded is not loaded into the movie clip (web site) after the preloader animations.
Verbose version:
I'm have a preloader on frame 1 of the timeline. Here's the code:
stop ();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoading);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onLoading (evt:ProgressEvent):void
var loaded:Number = evt.bytesLoaded / evt.bytesTotal;
percent_txt.text = (loaded * 100).toFixed(0) + "%";
var counter = (loaded * 100) * 3.6;
masked_mc.mask = masking_mc;
masked_mc.rotation = counter;
// trace (masked_mc.rotation);
if (masked_mc.rotation < 0)
masked_mc.mask = null;
function onComplete (event:Event):void
this.loaderInfo.removeEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoading);
this.loaderInfo.removeEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
gotoAndStop (2);
On frame 2 is only a movie clip (a web site).
In this movie clip on frame 1, I have a dynamic text field into which gets loaded some external text, styled with HTML and CSS.
At the moment, when a visitor comes to the site for the first time, he can actually see the text load, then see the CSS styles get applied. I would like to use my preloader so that this text loading and styling is completed before they get to see the home page.
Trouble is the, while the preloader itself works, the HTML and CSS still does not get loaded until after the preloader. This makes sense as the code for calling and loading the HTML/CSS is in the movie clip.
So I thought, put the code....
//NEWS --------------------------
// Load the external .swf "navidNews.swf".
var navidNewsSWF:String = "assets/fla/navidNews.swf";
var navidNewsURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(navidNewsSWF);
var navidNewsLoader:Loader = new Loader();
navidNewsLoader.load(navidNewsURLRequest);
//Put "navidNews.swf" on the stage.;
newsContainer_mc.addChild(navidNewsLoader);
into frame 1, same as that for the code for the preloader. But because the empty movie clip into which navidNews.swf is loaded is not in the same frame as the preloader there are errors.
Okay, move empty movie clip newsContainer_mc into frame 1 with preloader, which will hide the news container.
What am I missing? Should I not put a movie clip of my web site on frame 2, but instead move the preloader into the web site movie clip, putting it on frame 1?
I've been playing musical frames with this thing for two days now.......load the text and css in frame one (they need not be be used until frame 2) and incorporate those into your preloader.

LoadClip preload, but not a "preloader"
I am trying to find a way to use LoadClip to load an external
SWF into a main SWF, but not actually attach the loaded SWF to an
instance til later in the timeline.
Example:
On Frame 5 of the main timeline, I want to use LoadClip to
load the external SWF in to memory, but I don't want to initiate
the loaded SWF til frame 50.
Why, you may ask. Well, I'm making the flash EXE for a CD.
The external SWF is small and loads fine, only problem is that when
running from a CD, the loading of the external SWF causes a two
second pause. Not enough time for a preloader, but enough to annoy
me (also, the loading of the SWF causes audio in the main EXE to
pause as well). I'm hoping that preloading the SWF earlier in the
timeline will resolve this problem.
Any help is appreciated!
-daveI use the 'timeout' handler quite often...
on prepareMovie
set the timeoutlength to 10 * 60 --10 is the number of
seconds
end
on timeOut
--do your thing here...
alert "I've just timed out!!"
end
The timeout resets to 0 everytime there is a mouse click or a
keypress (note
that moving the mouse does not reset this though)
Obviously, within 'on timeOut' you could do other things - I
usually have
the movie jump to a 'screensaver' marker. This marker could
have say a flash
animation urging the user to click or press a key. then use
'on mouseDown'
or 'on KeyDown' to go to the main menu.
A simple option, but may be worth doing a search in the help
for 'timeout'

I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?
Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this. -
I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id
There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password. There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons, -
I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

Most of the songs on my iPod Classic no longer show up on iTunes on my laptop. I deleted iTunes & installed the latest version but this did not change anything. For example on 1 playlist I have 66 songs but only 1 shows on the iTunes screen. Thanks you for any help.

I purchased and in-app download and have a receipt but it is still not showing, so where is it?
I purchased an in-app download for Little generals and have a receipt, but it is still not showing up. Ive tried all the usual sign in then back out...shutting on and off but none of this works. The file just seems that it does not exist even though they have already charged my credit card. So, WHAT GIVES???
PS: And the people on the other end of the phone line seem to be completly clueless about their own products..If you don't have the Firefox button, you're using the classic view. To restore the new view of Firefox (Changed in Version 4):
* View > Toolbars > Menubar [Uncheck]
In Firefox 6 you can use this to clear your history/other offline content:
Click on the Firefox button on top left part of your browser:
* History > Clear Recent History
There you can select what you want to clear.
If you want to see the menu bar you can press alt on your keyboard so you can see file/view/...
Also for activating it to always be there follow this (Classic view of Firefox):
* Firefox > Options > Menu Bar

App store keeps telling me I have an update but I don't.
The app store on my iPad had an update for an app the other day but rather than updating I chose to delete the app as it was of no use. However the app store keeps telling me I have an update but when I open the app store none are listed.
Anyone experienced this?
Also the iPad keeps telling me my mail settings are incorrect and that I should check them yet I can still send and receive my mail.
Anyone experienced this?A couple of thoughts.
Once you purchase an app, you will continue to get the update notification even if you delet the app. the notification is based on your purchase history and I don't think there is anything you can do to stop the update notices.
As for the email alert - no clue - but this is what I would do. Restart your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To start up again, hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Maybe the email alert will go away. -
