Preloader animation stops

My problematic preloader can be seen here:
http://www.vintagebycrystal.com/Pages/Main%205.swf
In my preloader I have a small animation above a bar that
fills with color according to the percentage loaded. I also have a
dynamic text box with numbers that count up the percentage.
The animation in my preloader movie clip starts for a second,
then stops while the numbers count up. The animation continues
where it left off after the number has reached 99.
How can I get the train tracks to keep moving while the
number are counting up?
Also, the logo in both the preloader and the main website are
transparent eps files turned fireworks files. Is there a way I can
get them to be more sharp?
I appreciate any advice.

How to make my 'preload' animated gif to repeat?

I have my 'preload' animated gif in my psd file.
When I go to play it, it only plays the frames once.
How do I make it repeat and not stop?
I am using Photoshop CS5.

Actually, you can. There is a Looping Option that you can set.. either ONCE or FOREVER.
Just FYI.
Thanks though.

Animation stops in the middle when preview in browser

I have run into a problem where the animation stops in the middle when I preview it in browser, but it is fine when I play it in the program. Please advise how to fix this problem. Thank you very much.

I've had this problem with a purchased song but never a ripped song. I think its an encoding problem with iTunes. One poster suggested converting the song, which kind of tells us that its something to do with the encoding. I can't remember the song that this happened with, some Tom Petty tune. But I do remember this, which is strange, this happened on my Touch but not the iPhone with same song.

Has anyone else's weather animations stopped moving??

Has anyone else's weather animations stopped moving?? I have just upgraded to the iPhone 6 Plus with IOS 8.1.

They updated the Reduce Motion setting in Accessibility to reduce that. See if you have that turned on.

Animation Stops Briefly

Hi. On rollOver a button it tells an MC to play. This MC has
a sound on a layer. However on(rollOver) the button it takes a
while to play the MC with sound when it should be immediate. Why
does this happen and how can it be fixed?

I'm having this problem too and couldn't find a solution yet... Using an animated symbol with a video, syncronised together in my project. When I change browser's tab, video continues to play but symbol animation stops and it continues to play only when I switch back to edge tab. So there is no more sync. between two elements... and this is realy boring. Any ideas with this?? Please help, thanks.

How do I get my "preloader" animation to play immediately

On slower DSL connections, my animation takes a few minutes
to load. I'd like to add a small "loading" animation to keep the
user company while my large animation loads. I have both animations
complete. I'm not not sure what code to add (and where) to get the
first one to appear immediately and the second one to appear when
it's ready to show it's face.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

-The basic loader with some progress bar and % of the loaded
movie-
On first frame of your timeline place the following action :
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
bl = this.getBytesLoaded();
bt = this.getBytesTotal();
if (bt <= 0) {bt = 99;}
offPreloader.gotoAndStop(Math.floor((bl / bt) * 100));
preload_txt.text = Math.round((bl / bt) * 100) + " %";
if ((bl == bt) && (bt > 0)) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
gotoAndPlay (3);
Than on the very same frame make a movie clip with some shape
tween from small to large, this will be your progress bar.
Make it 100 frames long. Once done give it instance name
"offPreloader"
Last thing to do is to place dynamic text field with instance
name "preload_txt"
so it can display the % of the loaded movie.
Pretty much it.
Just make sure that the progress bar is not too large, like
made
out of bitmap images, you want to keep the preloader frame
as small as possible so flash can load it quickly.
Than start your content from frame 3 and you all done ---- TA
DAAA !!!!

The animation stops

I have a problem with the created movie clips. After pressing a movie clip the animation starts but if a mouse is moved away it finishes the animation then stops. You can see it at http://krolas.pl/produkty.swf. Could somebody help me to find a solution?

That doesn't explain how you have assembled the design, but here's some recommendations to help you find the problem.
1) instead of using e.target use e.currentTarget. target can point to something inside the object, but currentTarget will point to the object with the listener assigned to it.
2) Use the trace() function in every function you have so that you can track down which ones get executed when you experience the problem. If you just trace the function name that should be enough until you notice something you don't expect.. Then dig deeper within if needed. Example... do this to all your fnctions....
function onOutBack1(e:MouseEvent){
    trace("called functon onOutBack1");
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");
function onOverBack1(e:MouseEvent){
    trace("called functon onOverBack1");
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");
etc...

Slide Animations Stopped Working

Hello,
Last night we had a program in which we were screen sharing a Windows Media Player video. The setup I had was a Content Pod with a PowerPoint file in the front, and the Screen Share Pod behind it. In a new layout I had the reverse setup, the Content Pod behind the Screen Share Pod, so prior to the start of the program we were already Screen Sharing the video, so we just clicked the new layout when it was time and the video was ready to go instantly.
Before we got to the video, we noticed the slide animations in the PowerPoint file in the Content Pod stopped working (they were working previously, tested multiple times). We had to stop the presentation and re-load the file in order to get the animations to work again.
Have you ever had this problem occur? And do you see it correlating to having the Screen Share Pod active throughout the session?
Thanks,
Matt

This is the app that came with the phone itself & can't be removed/reinstalled.

Importing flash as3 animation: stop commands are ignored in Captivate

I have created a Flash animation in Flash CS5 which has some interactive buttons to go to frames and then stop. The problem is Captivate seems to ignore the stop commands.
When I preview in Flash it works fine, when I preview in Captivate it just keeps on going.
I can't use a click box because I need the user to click one of my interactive buttons to then continue to the nect part of the animation.
I am not a programmer and have just started using Adobe CS5 master edition.
I can add bits of actionscript provided I know how and where :-)
all help for a a dumbo newbie appreciated.....

If your Flash animations are published as AS3, make sure your Captivate movie is also set to publish as AS3 in the Preferences.
Does that do anything?

Why my fla. animation stops at a certain point after previewing it in captivate 3

I have developed an animation using flash CS3. The animation works fine in flash (test movie, and published swf). When I inserted the fla. (insert animation) in my Captivate 3 slide, it stops at the exact same point each time while previewing the animation through the web browser. I have read on this blog that it may be a button or other objects on the slide that has a timer set. I checked the timeline. All of my objects are set at 11 seconds. There are rollovers on the same slide. I have tried to inserting a click box with the "pause project until user clicks" option, syncing the fps, redoing the flash animation and nothing works.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi there
It may depend on how you created the animation in Flash. Is the animation supposed to loop? If so, did you animate on the main timeline? If you did, that may explain it. You need to animate in something called a "Movie Clip", then insert the Movie Clip on your main Flash timeline.
And thus I have managed to totally expend any knowledge I possess regarding Flash. Most of it is a mystery, in a fog of an enigma, cloaked in a conundrum.
Cheers... Rick

Preload animation

Hello,
My Problem: I have a complex GridPane. I want to make an overview-scene with nine of these GridPanes. On mouseclick they should scale over the hole scene. So far I had no problem, but when I click on an GridPane it doest about 2 sec nothing and than it it scaled. When I have done this about 10 times it does the animation more or less fluid smooth.
I tried to convert the GridPanes in Images with this: http://blog.ngopal.com.np/2011/10/26/save-node-to-image-in-javafx-2-0/. The Problem is, that in my case this solution is not working.
So is there a possibility to make the GridPane to an image OR preload the animation, so that it is smooth animated on the first cilck?
Best Regards,
Tobias Wilker

I have solved the problem by reducing the complexity of the GridPane. (I use Images instead of an overlayeffect)

Making my animation stop looping (it should be really simple, right?)

I am trying to achieve a simple thing really; I have made an animation and want it to stop looping at the end.
A quick search of the internet reassured me that this is simply a matter of putting in a stop(); command in the script. Great!
Errr.. no.
Here is what I did:
I created a new layer for my script and called it 'Actions'
selected the final frame of the Actions layer and added a keyframe
selected said keyframe and opened windows->Actions
typed in stop(); and closed the window.
Ok, so that apparently is all there is to it. Only, when I test the animation it doesn't move at all. it seems that the stop command executes right at the beginning and is constant throughout the whole timeline.
Also, I noticed that the Actions layer has a small white circle/dot on frame 1 and on the final frame also. There is no small letter 'a' that should be there on the final frame, but I don't know why.
So, what am I doing wrong?
I realise that if I am struggling to do such a simple task it doesn't bode well for any further learning of actionscript. Which is a shame.
Any help would be great, thanks.
Andrew

What you describe should have worked, but you might have mis-stepped as well. Try having the Actions window opened before you select the frame and type stop(); and leave it open afterwards as well for when you test. As soon as you enter some code in a frame it should display the lowercase "a", so your best bet is to keep trying it different ways until you see that. As I said, the way you describe it is legit, but what you might have done in following what you say might be off.

Issue playing scenes in test movie animations stop playing

I'm fairly new to adobe flash so I hope I use the right terms when asking this question. I am using AS2 in CS5.5.
I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes.
During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point.
At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that
continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's just
These new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline. Can anyone help me figure this out please?

you're welcome.
to remedy, remove one or more scenes from your original fla by shift-clicking all the frames/layers in a scene and pasting into a new fla. save the new fla with a new name and publish a new swf that you can load into your original.
there's no limit to how many swfs can be loaded into your original. you might find it convenient to put each scene (after your first few) into their own fla/swf.

Flash player animations stopping on frame 1

In our Digital Signage application, a number of our installations are experiencing problems with the Flash player. It appears that most, if not all of them, are at Flash version 10.3.183.10.
The symptom is: Within our Windows .NET based app (which embeds the flashplayer.ocx) the SWF file is loaded and begins playing - but appears to stop all animations at or around the first frame.   We first thought it was only text that was disappearing but it seems that any object that is placed on screen dynamically (after frame 1) is not showing up.
The screenshots we are seeing will show whatever background image exists plus sometimes the beginning of a text or other object's entry effect. The strange part is that the underlying frame based scripting seems to still process in that we still are receiving the proper fscommands during and at the end of the SWF movie - and the movie will play the proper duration. Thus it seems like the underlying script is chugging along - not realizing that nothing is actually happening graphicaly. Once this problem occurs, it will then effect every subsequent SWF until an application restart or reboot.   We've seen this occasionally for a few months now but it seems to be happening more and more often. We have not been able to reproduce it consistantly in-house and it is still faily rare (Probably 20 out of 1000 units daily) - and not always the same units.
We're still working on corralating other information but that's what we know now.   It would be easy to work around if the scripting would die too (like the WSOD) - in that case we could detect missing fscommands and gracefully restart.
We will eventually get all systems to Flash 11 but that will take a little time - and we're not even sure if that will fix it. ???
Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. A fix would be nice but just being able to detect it would satisfy me.
Thanks.
