Preloader causes SWF to download twice

Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone else has run in to this issue, where
a movie with no 'export for runtime sharing' assets will be
downloaded twice when accessed via a preloader script (see
preloader code below). In this case, the SWF file 'main.swf' is
downloaded twice - the second time straight after the preloader has
finished with it. This is not usually detectable as most browsers
cache the movie and it is instantly taken from cache, however on
browsers that have the cache turned off this can be a very slow and
frustrating experience.

Hi kglad,
At first that seemed like a silly comment, but it forced me
to double-check everything. After the original block of code above,
the movie continues to play an animation on the main timeline,
always returning to the 2nd frame when done (the frame after the
code above). In the full code for the onLoadInit event I had a
_root.gotoAndStop(1); (see below) which called the movieclip
main.swf to load again... I have changed this to
_root.gotoAndStop(2); and it now works as intended.
Thanks for the starter! :)

Preventing .swf re-download using director?

hi, it may sound a newbie question, but here it goes...
i am trying some tests here using director , and one of them
is this script inside a button :
var WEB = "
http://www.interama.net/incorporated/teste.swf";
var ID = preloadNetThing(WEB);
function mouseUp()
if ( netDone(ID) )
var tempMemberRef = _movie.newMember("Flash");
tempMemberRef.importFileInto(WEB);
sprite(2).member = tempMemberRef;
as you can see, the first thing that director will do is try
to preload a .swf located in the link passed inside WEB.
however, something that i would like to do is :
HOW can i prevent director to RE-download the .swf IF the
user, after closing the webpage, open it again...
after all, i believe the .swf will be in the cache of the
system, wont it? so, how could i make director "find out" that he
doesnt need to download again the .swf since it is already in its
cache?
thanks for your time,

Could you share a link to the page?
Seeing it in context and in our browsers is much easier to debug.
If not, make sure to run the validator here The W3C Markup Validation Service and clear out any problems. HTML errors, especially structural ones, will cause all kinds of display problems in various browsers/versions/platforms.

Preload external swf's

Hi,
Every time I have asked this question, people say , just go
online you'll find lots of preloaders out there. Or, its documented
really well in flash help. BUt I still dont get it. Im sure that
anyone who knows actionscript moderately well can figure it out no
prob.
All I want to do is preload 3 external swf's into my main
movie - and I want to include the preloading script in the
preloading script I already have for my main movie. This is the
script Im using (it has a loader bar etc,..).
onClipEvent (load) {
if (_parent.getBytesTotal() == _parent.getBytesLoaded()) {
quickPlay = true;
} else {
preLoad = (_parent.getBytesTotal() * 0.75); //percent to
preload
_parent.stop();
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
gotoAndStop(loadedIndicatorFrame());
if (quickPlay == true) { //quickly play the anim
if (_currentframe == _totalframes) {
_parent.play();
} else { //wait for the preload
if (_parent.getBytesLoaded() >= preLoad) {
_parent.play();
Can someone help me out here?
Also, if I preload it right at the beginning, do I need to
additionally specify the place (empty mc) that I want to eventually
run it in?
Thanks a million for anyone who can help with this. Please
dont tell me its well document\ed, because although it may, Its
just as hard to figure it out with the documentation, Im not great
at action script.

I'm having a similar issue!
I am currently building a web gallery that loads external
.swfs (of each gallery) into movie clip containers within seperate
frames.
Is there any way to preload those .swfs in the background
before they are called upon by going to those frames?
An example of a site I built in this manner can be found
here:

Help! Thanks a bunch!

Go to the iTunes store, go to Support and Contact. Send them an email explaining your issue. There is no telephone or email support from iTunes. You should hear from them within 24 hours.

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,
4GB memory

Purchased 2010

Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

Prevent movies from being downloaded twice (720p and 1080p)

I noticed that iTunes downloaded each of my purchased movies twice. I guess it's the 720p version and the 1080p version.
Anyways as my SSD is getting full I'm wondering if there is a way to just download the 1080p version. I don't feel like deleting the second download every time I buy a movie.

Well the problem is that every movie gets downloaded twice. See the attached screenshots ...

Imovie downloading twice at the same time??

I was prompted for an imovie download/update but didnt have the hard disc space initially. I have now sorted that problem, but it looks like iMovie is downloading twice at the same time?? In the status bar under Launchpad it has two progress status alternating and when I open Launchpad, both progress details are listed under iMovie. is it possible that it is double downloading? Considering it is 1.94GB and I am pressed for hard disc space, I dont want it on here twice. New to Macbook if that isnt already obvious!

Hi cathygiliam,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If it seems like an iMovie update is downloading twice and you have concerns about available hard drive space, the best option may be to cancel the download(s) and start over.
To cancel a download in App Store, in the toolbar, click Purchases, find the app in the list, hold down the Option key, and then click Cancel.
To cancel a download in Launchpad, hold down the app icon until all the icons start to jiggle, and then click the app’s delete button (x).
To cancel a download in the Finder, click the app's delete button (x).

How to Get a Refund from the App Store

ITunes movie purchase downloading twice

Hello all;
I just purchased a movie on iTunes. The first time I clicked BUY, the system told me that it could not read my Apple account and to try a few minutes later. So I tried a little later but I clicked the BUY button again!
Is this why the movie is downloading twice? One HD version and one standard version?
Does this mean I will be charged twice? If so, will I get a refund?
Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

I do not believe that Real Player Plus can burn any videos purchased from the iTunes Store to video DVD. RP Plus can burn non-protected videos from iTunes, but not the copy-protected files from the iTunes Store. If you have yourself successfully burned videos from the iTunes Store to a vide DVD (one that plays in a standard DVD player) with Real Player Plus, I'm sure many of us would be interested in such confirmation, as it would indicate that Real has hacked Apple's DRM in some way.
