I need a specific preloader for my website

Hello Flash Community,
I have a Flash site which needs a specific preloader.
Each section of my site is called with this function:
function onNavigate(evt:MouseEvent):void{
play();
nextSection = evt.currentTarget.name;
I've tried about 3 different preloaders and none of them work. I feel like it's because of the way my timeline is set up and how it uses the onNavigate function. I could be wrong.
I'm attaching photos of what my timeline looks like and the actions as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

I don't see how that code does anything in the way of loading sections of your site where a preloader would be needed. It merely commands the timeline to play and assigns a value to the nextSection variable. If you are loading the other sections dynamically, then that is happening with some other code somewhere. If you have all of the sections in that one file, then what problem are you encountering that you say you need a preloader? And if you still do, here's a link to a tutorial for a good approach...

I need a preloader for my website

Hi Experts.
Can someone point me to good tutorials and/or instruction videos that solve the following problem?
I am building a website that will have many images and several movies created in my CAD software as ".avi" files, then re-saved as Quicktime ".mov" files. The largest movie is 60.8KB. They will be located on more than one page on the site.
Here's a link to the site in progress: http://www.integra-living.com/rht
I need a preloader that runs automatically as my site splash page opens, and loads all that stuff while displaying a progress indicator of some sort.
I also need tips on whether the best strategy is to use CSS, Action Script, or some other coding that will work for most browsers and does not subvert optimization or do other mysterious bad things.
Thanks very much for any help.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, you don't need a preloaded for embed movies. The page will load without any delay. It's not until the user chooses to play a movie will it begin downloading / streaming it from the server. Even if the video is a large file, internet users are use to this type of scenario where they choose to play a movie, ala youtube and others, that if their connections are slow there may be delays in video playback. With all that said, I have seen and used page loaders where visitors will be expecting to wait a while for a result to happen, I just don't think this scenario warrants it.

I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features. Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

Need help with preloader for photo gallery

Hello!
I know I might be the 99999999991 to say that but I will say
it...I'm a begginer with flash and I have a problem...:-)
I'm building a photo gallery which loads jpg photos inside a
loader component by using MovieClipLoader.
Everything works just great but my only problem is that I
can't scale the content (the jpg's) to the size of the loader
component.
I tryed everything but the photos are loading bigger then the
loader, and I wnat to have the photos bigger then the loader so
that I could have good quality on any resolution. Here's the
actionscript I used, if it's necessary:
//------------------MovieClip Loader---------\\
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
mcLoader.addListener(myListener)
myListener.onLoadProgress = function
(target_mc,bytesLoaded,bytesTotal) {
extLoader_mc._visible = true;
var pctLoaded = Math.round(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal*100);
extLoader_mc.extLoaderBar_mc._xscale = pctLoaded;
extLoader_mc.extLoadinBarLines_mc._xscale = pctLoaded-1;
extLoader_mc.pct_txt.text = pctLoaded;
if (bytesLoaded >= bytesTotal) {
extLoader_mc._visible = false;
mcLoader.loadClip("pics/zernike1.jpg",picViewer_mc.picLoader);
T
Text
Text

first of all, you can't directly resize the bitmaps, you have to resize the movieclip above it. so if needed, create an empty movieclip inside another wrapper movie clip and resize the wrapper.
then i noticed you don't have onLoadInit in your listener
this method:
myLIstener.onLoadInit=function(mc:MovieClip){
will execute commands after the content is loaded. so you will have to resize your content after it's been loaded. you can't just resize something that you loaded above in your code, you have to wait until it's fully loaded
anyways since you siad you are beginner i will list some useful tip for this job (i don't know if you already know them):
this -refers to current movie clip
this._parent -refers to parent movie cilp
width and height of movie clips are controlled by _width and _height properties, not width height

Need to resize images for a website, how do I do this????

I am running Aperture 2, and I am getting my photo's ready to be posted on my website. Problem is I can't seem to figure out how to resize the image and create thumbnails. I have gone through everything and I am running out of time. Is there anyone who can help?
Thank you.

You don't need to resize any images. What you need to do is export them. I don't know what site you're using, or how you're going to get them up there, but define an export preset that bounds the images to the size you want.

Need a specific driver for Satellite L500 11V

Hi, I have reinstalled my OS Windows 7.
I have already got some drivers in the download section but I cant find the driver for FN keys. They all work although without displaying the control bar in the upper part of the screen which I don't mind at all - but with one exception: the Wifi on/off toggle. And that is why I need the software which I hope will solve the problem.
Does anyone know what driver it is and tell me the name or post a link to download it?
Thanks, Josef

Hi, thank you both guys, Josef here (had to register again with different ID).
OK, I installed the Toshiba Value Package and I was sure it was the right driver, but now the FN keys wouldn't work at all and the panel won't appear either. Before installation the FN keys did work except the wifi toggle which was and still is fortunately activated. I even made sure that the keys weren't disabled in settings for flash cards. So now I'm going to uninstall the package..

Need a specific app for iphone

Hi everyone. I have on my laptop an Excel file. I transfered it on my Iphone also. It is possible that when I make modification in the Excel file (within my laptop) to be able to just update that file on Iphone, all this made through the internet of course, so I don't need to transfer it every time. Maybe something like a SVN tool but between laptop and Iphone. Is there any apps for this purpose. I'll apreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
P.S : Sorry for my bad english.

If running iOS 5.0 or greater, you could get this & store everything in iCloud, and keep everything in sync:

There are other solutions.

Need Help making a navigation menu for a website

Alright so I've been having some problems getting this to work correctly. I am making a navigation menu for a website and I'm trying to get when I hover over the main header a drop down appears animated of course below it. I also want when you highlight a specific text line for it to highlight blue along with a rectangle behind it to change to a lighter shade of red.
Some of the problems I have been running into is play and stop commands on mouseover and them not stopping when they should and getting the text to change color.
Thanks for the help.

Your page's code is still a bit of a wreck. Do you ever look at it?
<html>
<style type="text/css">#p7MBM_1 {
width: 951px;
You need a doctype first - I recommend HTML4.01 Transitional. Open this (and other pages) in DW and use FILE | Convert > HTML 4.01 Transitional, then save. But wait until you do the other changes recommended below before doing this.
Add a <head> tag below the <html> tag.
Add a <title> tag below the <head> tag.
Add this below the <title> tag - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Add </head> below this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
You may want to change that font-family style to "Goudy Old Style, Geneva, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif", since Goudy is not web safe.
Move <body> below that </head> you just added.
That will clean your code up a bit. Let's look at the page again when you have done these.

Need antispam script for my website guestbook entries... recommendations?

My guestbook on my website got so slammed by spambots that i had to take it offline. I would like to get one of those scripts where the person has to fill in what they see in a box (letters, numbers, etc) in order to make an entry into my guestbook. My web designers says that i need to find a script for this. Any recommendations? I don't even know what these scripts are called, making them hard to look for!
He does the website work in Dreamweaver in Tiger, if that makes any difference. This is a guestbook that forwards entries to me as emails (they are not diplayed on the site)

In need of a flash/html5/quicktime audio/video media player for a website

Hello everybody,
I'm looking to get some kind of audio/video media player for a website. I would like it to be customizable, and also most likely read a play list from some kind of text file or xml file.
Normally, I would look for some kind of flash media player, but recently the site might be read from Apple mobile devices also, which of course not flash which might be a problem, so I'm also looking into other options such as some kind of QuickTime media player web application or even html5 player.
I do not personally know how to code in flash or HTML 5, so I would be willing to hire someone to help out.
Is HTML 5 for long enough that it would play on most current browsers? I would imagine that HTML 5 might not work on older browsers–is this correct?
I don't know of any QuickTime media players - any links to get me started?
Does anyone know some solutions to this flash / apple issue?

Looks like you are getting a very good lesson in why Flash is the best choice for a Web media player.... plentilful, easily customizable, and is a "right now" solution. Good luck on getting your viewers to download and install the codex need to play an Ogg video!
To add the extra accessabilty for the iPhone etc, use swfobject to provide an alternative video file type... the .mov
Here is an example of a Flash video that plays on the iPhone (well sort of..):
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/qt/play_qt.html
Using swfobject for Flash detection, if the Web browser has the Flash plugin, the Flash .flv video is displayed, if not, the QT, .mov version is displayed.
View the source code for more exact details.
If the Web browser does not have the Flash plugin, alternate content is displayed, which in this case happens to be a QT player, which displays a .mov video. In this case it's just a single video. Now maybe you have a QT player with playlist... but let me tell you.. they are a lot rarer than Flash media players with playlists, xml playlist, etc.... Strong case for Flash here..
But your alt content could just as easily hold a QT media player (with playlist) if such an animal exists.

No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.

Need help with a logo for a website

I am not sure where else to ask, but I have had major difficulties with creating a logo for my website. I need some ideas, what colors to put together and fonts, etc. If someone can show me an example of the logo he/she can make (put watermarks on it), I would be willing to purchase it. Thank you for your attention.

Sure. I have a great logo of a monkey picking his butt.
Not what you had in mind? How would anyone know?
What is your website about?
Link?
What is your logo to communicate?
Will it be used in print or only online?
What are you willing to pay? (I am NOT auditioning for the job)
The Illustrator forum may be a better option since logo creation is best done in vector format.
Good luck.
EDIT! OK, I missed the link in your post. Sorry. Damn these forums suck.

does Pages v4 (09) work on a G4 chip? I think I've updated this old Mac iBook as far as it will go. In other words will I need to buy a newer laptop to get the Pages 09 to work and ouput to an eBook? Thanks. Richard
