Preload img

I know how to preload an external file using LoadVars. Now I want to combine it with loading a text file containing html tags. For example: I'm loading a text file which contains:
<img src="mybigimage.jpg" />
And let's suppose this jpg file is large, like 3 mb. Now when I would load it directly through LoadVars I could use getBytesLoaded/getBytesTotal and I would see the percentage in a textfile go from 0 to 100%.
But when using it on a textfile containing just the img tag (I'm using css in flash), the text file would load almost instantly. It wouldn't preload the jpg but the txt file instead.
Is there a way to show the loading of the file mentioned in the img tag?

no.
you can preload an image (to the user's cache) and then loading the image into a textfield (using an img tag) will be almost instant.

I see an pdf and flv file in the image list, remove them.
Rewrite the code of your loading bar into one solid procedure which can be called from image loaded so you end up with three functions:
loadImage
imageLoaded
displayProgressBar
Maybe it's simpler not to display a progressbar but to display a text like XX loaded from XX images.
I can't possibly write all the code for you but to adjust the loading bar use the image object instead of html code....
preloadingImg = new Image();
preloadingImg.src = "img/dot.jpg"   //whatever your preloader img is
//To place your loading bar somewhere in the document:
parentElement.addChildNode(preloadingImg);   //where parentElement is the container of the preloader image ( a DIV tag or whatever)
//to adjust the width and height
preloadingImg.height = someHeight + 'px';
preloadingImg.width = someWidth + 'px'
Another alternative is indeed use jQuery.

Here is the code for the Audio: if you need to see it.
   <li class="muz"> <a href="#" id="sound"><span></span></a>
          <audio id="audio" class="AudioPlayerV1" autoplay loop data-controls-time="false" data-controls-duration="false" data-controls-volume="false" width="0">
            <source type="audio/mpeg" src="audio/loop.mp3" />
            <source type="audio/ogg" src="audio/loop.ogg" />
          </audio>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
</footer>

I can paste the index code here if that helps. So you can see the whole thing.

Problem with Flash preloader in IE using swfObject 2

Hi All,

Interesting! No answer to your problem in the Flash forum. They would know more than we do.
I assume that you have had a look here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/flash-object-embed-tag-attributes.html.

JavaFX - Image preloading problem

Hi,
I try to use ImageView and face some problems with image preloading.
Here is the code related to the component that has problems. The component extends CustomNode.
in class attributes declaration:
var imgNodes: ImageView[];
// list of url of images to display
public-init var imgs: String[];
in create function:
for(indice in [0..batch]){
var view= ImageView{
fitWidth:100
fitHeight:100
translateX: (110 * indice)
preserveRatio: true
cursor: Cursor.HAND
insert view into imgNodes;
on an image loading function:
for(indice in [0..batch]){
imgNodes[indice].image = Image{
width: 100
height: 100
url: imgs[firstItem+indice]
preserveRatio: true
backgroundLoading: true
with backgroundLoading set to true, the images are not displayed. When setting it to false, the images appear. So the urls passed to Image are ok.
If I display the fields error and progress of the Image components, both have the value 0.
I have other components that use preloading and they are working great before showing the problematic component. After, preloading does not work anymore.
It looks like as if the thread used to preload images is blocked.
Can anyone help me with it?
Thanks in advance for your help
Thomas

I'm not shure but i think the only group component wich is updated after insert or delete is a Group, so there is the same problem with V/HBox.
Then this code work for me

Preloader Problem in CP5

I'm trying to use one of the canned AS3 preloaders, in CP5. The preloader displays, and is centered; But it runs from beginning to end, and then repeats over and over until the project is fully loaded- rather than displaying the percent loaded...
I did edit the htm file to remove the javascript, here is the html in case that's the source of the problem. (I didn't write this, please don't critique the html beyond explaining why the preloader isn't working...)

I'm having the same problem - see my last posts in the thread. The only difference is - all AS3 preloaders don't show up in my case, but with old AS2 preloaders from Cp4, I am getting exactly the same pattern: the animation runs in a loop until the whole clip is loaded. You can try Cp4 AS2 preloaders to see if it makes any difference.
I don't think jscript may affect that issue. The preloader should load correctly, even if you run swf file directly without html shell.
Are you using TOC?

Unable to load content, it halts on the preloader half way.. anyone know what might be the problem..

I posted the html code here, I’m not sure where I could be getting a problem, the preloader keeps loading half-way then stops and nothing loads up.. any ideas anybody?

Cfml preloader, is it possible? please assist

Hello;
I have a page on a site that is mostly images. One big image cut up in pieces with a couple of cfwindows going in them.
I want to preload the page before it appears because it looks terrible when it is loading up. Is it possible to use a pre-loader for an html page to do this? Better yet is there an html preloader out there?
I am trying to use this code, but it is not cutting it.
<script type="text/javascript">
_cf_loadingtexthtml="<div align='center'><img src='hig_progcircle_pending.gif'/>";
_cf_contextpath="";
_cf_ajaxscriptsrc="/CFIDE/ajax";
_cf_jsonprefix='//';
_cf_clientid='CAEFC4EBBACACC9E9920EB79DFC39CE9';
</script>
anyone have a better idea or even know if what I want to do is possible?
thank you.

I think I know what you mean.
You want all the images to load on the client before "showing" the client the page, so the user experience is pleasant.
It would all be JS, this page has an example along the lines of what I'm thinking.
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5214317.html
Basically preload the images using image objects
using the onload event for the image object fire a function to set the .src value of your img tags to the image urls.

Preloading folders of content with PreloadAssetManager?

I'm currently using the following code to preload images into the browsers cache:
import gs.dataTransfer.PreloadAssetManager;
var preloader_obj = new PreloadAssetManager(["images/SS001small.jpg","images/sticker.jpg"], onFinish);
this.onEnterFrame = function() { //Just to update the preload status bar
    preloader_mc.bar_mc._xscale = preloader_obj.percentLoaded_num;
    preloader_mc.percent_tf.text = Math.round(preloader_obj.percentLoaded_num) + "%";
function onFinish(pl_obj:PreloadAssetManager):Void { //Gets called when all the assets are preloaded.
    trace("Finished preloading all " + pl_obj.assets_array.length + " assets!");
    var a = pl_obj.assets_array;
    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        trace("--Asset: " + a[i].url_str + " had a width of: " + a[i].width + ", a height of: "+a[i].height);
        if (a[i].fileType_str == "flv") {
            trace("FLV duration: "+a[i].duration);
    _root.onEnterFrame = null;
    gotoAndPlay("start");
stop();
these images are embedded using <img> tags in .xml files to make the website easy to update. At the moment everything works great, but the problem is that the code I have for my preloader requires you to list all of the images seperatly, which defeats the purpose of updating the content via XML. (Obviously, if you add any more images to the folder, you will need to edit the main website file to update the preloader)
Is there a way I can somehow tell this code to load all images inside the /images folder instead of listing the images seperatly?

Hello, if this is happening on multiple computers Intel and PPC, I doubt it is a new bug.
It sounds like a permissions problem. How is the backup drive formatted and or partitioned?
I just remembered something...some HD manufacturers blocked users from copying copy-write
material to some external drives(MP3's for example)...what type of external drive do you have?
You might be able to solve it by right-clicking (Ctrl-Click) the folder in question and select
"Get Info" from the drop down menu. At the bottom, click to unlock the "Permissions & Sharing"
then see if "Everyone" is "Read & Write" (you can change this by clicking the arrows under "privileges"
After Changed click on the gear icon just right of the +/- buttons and choose "Apply to inclosed items"
This MAY work...but I don't have this problem w/my systems.
Cheers,
Glynn

Preloading images using PHP

Hi,
I am trying to pre-load a few images on a page to save the loading time but seems to be not working in IE7. Here is my code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
top1 = new Image();
top1.src = "./1.jpg";
top1 = new Image();
top1.src = "./2.jpg";
</script>
This is declared in the HEAD section. But onmouseover still takes a second or two, but once loaded, mouseover is instant. I have an image name called top1, is it because i am loading the same object with 2 different images so will the first image not finish loading?
Also, if I was to include filenames which are dynamic, is there anything stopping me from using PHP code in the HEAD section? or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

What you are trying to do has very little to do with PHP, except the generation of the image names in the JavaScript. Once the web page is sent from the server, everything relies on JavaScript. I have created a simple demo on my website at http://foundationphp.com/test/preload.html.
The following script in the head of the page preloads the image:
<script type="text/javascript">
(new Image()).src = "/images/9781430210115.jpg";
</script>
In the body of the page, the rollover is created like this:
<p><img src="/images/9781430216100.jpg" width="130" height="160" alt="Book cover"
onmouseover="this.src='/images/9781430210115.jpg'"
onmouseout="this.src='/images/9781430216100.jpg'" /></p>
Note that the <img> tag has the original image assigned to its src attribute, and the replacement images are specified in the onmouseover and onmouseout event handlers. You cannot do it simply by assigning the preload image to a variable in the head and then assigning that variable name to the image, because the image tag has not been created at the time the script runs.
It sounds to me as though you want to rotate the images. If so, Google "JavaScript image rotator". You should find plenty of solutions.

Preload image alternative

I used to use DW preload images behavior (rarely):
<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/progress.gif')">
but I just realized that the following technique is much
better (and does not require js):
<body>
<img src="images/progress.gif" style="display:none;">
Am I right? Or am I missing something...

The load time for either option would be the same.

Blank screen between preloader and beginning of SWF movie

I'm having a problem with a published SWF. A long lag time is occurring between the end of my AS3 preloader and the beginning of my SWF movie. Once the preloader disappears, the SWF screen goes blank for up to 10 seconds before the movie begins. I've monitored the SWF's download progress using Firebug, and the preloader disappears once 45% of the SWF has been downloaded, as is to be expected. But the movie does not begin until most of the SWF has been downloaded, which causes the 10 seconds of blank screen. After reading some blog posts, I suspected that the audio embedded in the Captivate presentation was causing the SWF to download all of the audio before starting the movie. I followed recommendations to add a tiny amount of silence the beginning of each slide, but it hasn't resolved the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix a long lag time between a preloader and movie? My SWF settings and other details are below. Thanks in advance.
- Using Captivate 5
- The presentation has 18 slides. Each slide has one JPG and one audio clip. (The audio clips were imported one at a time, instead of importing one large audio file and having Captivate spread it across multiple slides.)
- Each slide is .4 seconds longer than its audio clip, leaving .2 seconds of silence before and after the audio clip.
- SWF Size and Quality are set to Low
- Audio Quality is set to MP3, 64Kbps, 44.100 KHz
- Using AS3 preloader set to 45%
- The SWF is hosted on a web server and is viewed via the htm file that is generated when the SWF is published.

Hi Vikranth,
Thanks for your help. The online SWF is here:
http://leo.lincolninst.edu/eTeach/captivate-tests/inside-focus-area/new-opt-img-mp3-chunks -full-2/inside-focus-area-new-opt-img.htm
I've also posted the same SWF with a 15% preloader here (the smaller the preloader percentage, the longer the blank screen):
http://leo.lincolninst.edu/eTeach/captivate-tests/inside-focus-area/new-opt-img-mp3-chunks -full-2-15/inside-focus-area-new-opt-img.htm
I've sent the cptx file to your email address.

How to retrieve preloaded content?

I recently received a 16 GB iPod Touch from Subaru when purchasing a new car with them. The iPod came preloaded with some videos and photos. When I connected the iPod, iTunes said that the iPod was sync'd with another computer and that I would have to remove all the content before I could add my own content.
What I'd like to know is, can I retrieve the preloaded content that Subaru put on the iPod?
Thanks,
Eric

Thank you for your reply fanciscoandre, unfortunately, the article does not seem to have helped, so I'll be trying the other apps shortly. :/
Here's a brief update:
When I connect my iPod, I see the following prompt (note, I have named my iPod "tactile").
http://www.xmtp.net/~encoded/img/tactile/pre-loaded/Picture%201.png
I have so far, always clicked "No".
This prompt differs from what is mentioned in the article you sent. The article does list a few other ways to "Transfer Purchases" from the iPod, so I tried both of them (command-clicking on the ipod in the devices list, and also selectin "Transfer Purchases" from the File menu. Neither appeared to do anything at all..? No dialog, no noticeable actions taken.
Most recently, when I connected my iPod, the prompt above was followed by this new prompt, which may or may not be related to the first prompt (or anything else in this post). I had not seen this prompt before now.
http://www.xmtp.net/~encoded/img/tactile/pre-loaded/Picture%202.png
I did send this information to Apple.
I will check out the other apps you mentioned now though, since the first route didn't work.

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)+"%";

How can I convert an OVM vm (.img) to VDI (virtualbox)?

Hi,
how can I convert an OVM vm (.img) to VDI (virtualbox)?
Is .img format a raw image? If yes can I use "VBoxManage convertdd" to convert from .img to vdi?
