Preloader Difficulty...

Heya.
I'm having troubles with a pre-loader. It seems that it only
appears once it has reached 60%? Im not really that good with my
actionscript but any help will be appreciated.
Here
is the Site

Thanks for your reply.
It is just that I have a SWF file loading into my main movie
that is currently 386k (which I know is HUGE and I am trying to
slim down) and the preloader in the first frame of this SWF does
not display until almost the entire animation is loaded. This is a
real drag and users seem to think there is an error when they click
the link. The main problem seems to be the movie clip being loaded
into my scrollpane. In the scrollpane content path I have the
content MC's runtime ID (btsID) and at the moment it is exporting
in the first frame. No doubt this is causing all hte heavy load at
the same time as my preloader. When I try exporting this in frame
2, my scrollpane will not load it correctly. I have also played
with the actionscript settings in publish but I can't get the
content to load unless it is exported in frame 1. Is there a better
way to preload external swf files that contain components?
cheers!

Flex 4 - is it possible to load xml data into the preloader and pass it to the application?

or is there a similar method to load XML data while the preloader is active, so the XML data will be ready when the main application loads?

i'm having great difficulty finding any relevant info from the forum and the web about accessing preloader variables from the application.
is there a way to access the preloader itself from the application?
It seems logical that the systemManager garbage collects it. If that's the case, how can i access the systemManager from the preloader and possible pass variables to it, then later access them from the application? this seems to be the best direction to tackle this problem. but maybe i'm overlooking another way?

Preload slideshow pro component

Hello everyone,
I am working on a very basic custom slideshow (from slideshow
pro) for our site and am hoping that one of you out there will be
able to help with integrating a preloader. An example of the page
can be seen here (
http://www.molodesign.com/en/products/soft/softwall/paper-demo.html).
Here is my difficulty... we would like to have all of the
images in the XML document preload while a percentage bar fills up,
noting the progress of the slideshow. I understand how to preload
the component and the XML document itself but not the actual images
that are reference within it.
Any help that you can send my way would be great!! Thanks!

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)+"%";

Help with a preloader in AS3

Hi,
I upload a website and I have problems with the preloader did it in AS3. It starts after two or three minutes. I have a MC with an animation of 100 frames and the dynamic text of the percent. The preloader is located in the 1 frame to the 10, I mean, first frame with the actions and the other three layers (text, MC and background) with a lenght of 10. The movie has 525 frames. Here is the code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, lodeando);
function lodeando(event:Event):void
          var bytesTotales = stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
          var bytesCargados = stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
          var porcentaje = Math.round(bytesCargados * 100 / bytesTotales);
          textoPorcentaje.text = porcentaje + "% Cargados";
          cargaAnimada_mc.gotoAndStop(porcentaje);
          if (bytesCargados == bytesTotales)
                    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, lodeando);
                    gotoAndPlay(2);
                    textoPorcentaje.text = "";
                    removeChild(textoPorcentaje);
                    removeChild(cargaAnimada_mc);
Please, Could you help me?.

These screen captures show the library of the movie. As you can see I export the most of them. However I have doubts about if I must convert to symbol the graphics. I have the preloader in the "presentación" folder without any exportation.
Please, Could you correct the website?. Please, tell me an e-mail address and I send you the website via WeTransfer.

Difficulty downloding Adobe Reader and Error 1327. Invalid Drive H:\

I am having a difficulty downloading Adobe reader on my laptop. For some reasons, I am getting error 1327. Invalid Drive H:\ notification. I have followed the tips on how to resolve this issue from Adobe's help and FAQ pages, but I am still not able to download Adobe reader. This issue begun short while after I installed a Tuneup software from AVG. I contacted this Tuneup company, and one of it's representative guided me through the steps on how to resolve the problem; unfortunately, the correction attempt did not make any difference. Adobe tech support team can fix my issue, but at a cost of $ 40. I do not want to pay it. Hence, I am trying to solve this problem myself. Could any one, who has the knowledge to deal with this issue, please respond to my request?
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Peter VK Mayangi

Have you tried both solutions on the link from the earlier poster? Microsoft Fixit did not fixit?
If so, you will have to search the registry manually for your invalid drive H:\
Please post back if you are unsure what to do when you find that registry entry.
P.S. please do not post your email address and other private data in this public forum!

'we had difficulty reading this feed. host parameter is null' I am getting no where here, help!?

I've had an RSS feed created for an online video podcast but keep getting the message: 'we had difficulty reading this feed. host parameter is null' i've looked at the forums but none of them make any sense. My IT team say the RSS feed is valid and it should work and that is more like down to an itunes error, any help?

This will be our first podcast so do not currently have a page. Below is the feed.

"We had difficulty reading this feed. null" Atom feeds no longer work?

Hi - our Audioboo feeds used to work fine when submitting as a podcast (eg http://audioboo.fm/users/4705/boos.atom). It seems like they stopped working recently - maybe in the past couple of days - and just report "We had difficulty reading this feed. null" when you try to submit them.
I'm beginning to suspect that the use of atom rather than rss is the cause. Can anyone confirm?
-Jonathan

This feed can be subscribed to manually in iTunes (from the 'Advanced' menu) - actually I'm rather surprised it works because it isn't a valid podcast feed (though it is a valid Atom feed).
It has the iTunes 'declaration' and some itunes tags, although the former is contained in a 'feed' tag whereas it should be a 'rss' tag: there is no 'channel' tag enclosing the podcast data, no 'item' tags enclosing each episode, and no 'enclosure' tags within each episode containing the media URL. I'm not surprised you can't submit it as a podcast, and as I say it's a but surprising that the iTunes application recognizes it.
In order to get it accepted in the iTunes Store you need to create a feed in the correct format: this page contains a sample basic feed so you can see how it should look:
http://www.wilmut.org.uk/pc
If the feed contains the valid iTunes format it can also contain atom tags, which iTunes will ignore.

Using the Execute Preloaded Option for ABAP Dataflows in SAP BODS

Hello All,
This is regarding the use of Advanced Option in SAP Application Type (ECC) Datastore settings in SAP BODS 4.2, where there are two options to select from for ABAP Execution Option property: (1)Generate and Execute and (2) Execute Preloaded. Since our ECC client is often locked by BASIS team even on DEV environment, we would like to make use of the second option 'Execute Preloaded' so that we could extract the data from ECC tables without having to ask the BASIS team to unlock the ECC client every time before extraction.
The problem is that we are getting an error upon generating and uploading the ABAP program to ECC client. I have searched the blogs and so far I have only found that there are certain ABAP programs or function modules that come with SAP BODS which need to be installed by BASIS team on ECC side to allow the ABAP dataflows to be generated and uploaded to ECC server. I would appreciate it if anyone could provide a list of which function modules BASIS needs to install on ECC or a blog that provides details around using this option.
So far, from the SAP BODS designer, we are performing below steps but getting an error upon generating and uploading the ABAP dataflow program:
1. Create a test ABAP Dataflow using SAP ECC datastore. Provide the ABAP program options.
2. Right click, select Generate ABAP Program.
3. Once the ABAP Program Generation Dialog box appears, check the box "Upload Generated Program".
4. Upon clicking OK, we are getting the following error:
The ABAP program <ZRTEST01> for ABAP data flow <RT_TEST_R3> (datastore <R3_DS>) was not uploaded: < RFC CallReceive error <Function /BODS/RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_MESSAGE- Exception condition "NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI" trigger[SAP NWRFC 720][SAP Partner ### ][clientname][servername][accountname][4103]>. >.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rizwan

All,
The BASIS team reviewed steps provided in the BODS document and attempted to install the Function Modules but now none of the BODS jobs would work. All BODS jobs are being terminted with the Syntax Error error when extracting data from ECC using ABAP dataflows:

Difficulty detecting SATA disk, adding a second SATA disk, memory conflict, etc

I resolved the SATA problem in the middle of writing this post, but for others’ benefit in the future, I am still describing it here. But there are still some unresolved problems.
========================================================
I have an Intel P4 2.4 GHz CPU.
My MSI motherboard has the words 865PE Neon 2P on it.
BIOS is AmiBIOS 3.31a.
I cannot tell what display card I have. I do not see any brand printed on the card.
I have an (internal) 37 GB IDE hard disk (I cannot see the brand and I am too lazy to un-mount it) as the C drive.
About 3 years ago I added another internal disk, 150GB Western Digital WD 1600, SATA as the E drive.
I have a copy of Windows XP Pro SP2 on each of these two hard drives but I always boot on C.
I also have 2 DVD drives (Drives D and G) and 6 (2 at the side and 4 at the back) USB ports.
A shop installed everything for me and things have been well. I did not record the BIOS settings so I do not know how it was set up. My nightmare started about 2 weeks ago when my PC suddenly did not detect E, i.e. the SATA drive. I had not done anything to the BIOS setting or otherwise, so I have no idea why the E drive suddenly disappeared.
At that time, the Standard CMOS Features in the BIOS setting was:
Primary IDE Master - Not Installed
Primary IDE Slave - IC35L060AVV207-0
Secondary IDE Master - Pioneer DVD ROM
Secondary IDE Slave - Lite On DVD ROM
Third IDE Master - Not Installed
Third IDE Slave - Not Installed
Fourth IDE Master - Not Installed
Fourth IDE Slave - Not Installed
I tried many things and finally bought a hard disk enclosure and put that SATA in it and connect it to one of the USB ports. It works.
This morning I stumbled on this article "Motherboard can't detect SATA hard disk" at http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=119738.0 and also “Q: How to enable both SATA and PATA? “ on “NEO Boards Unofficial FAQ rev 4/05/2004 - two lights on "P" series” at https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=21469.0 taking about the On-Chip IDE Configuration section of the BIOS menu and I decided to give it a try, so that I can get rid of that hard disk enclosure.
It works, kind of. I saw that it was set to Legacy Mode, P-ATA Only, SATA Keep Enabled=No, PATA Keep Enabled=No, PATA Channel Selection=Both, Combined Mode Option=PATA 1st Channel, SATA Ports Definition= P0-3rd/P1-4th. So following the advice on the article and the FAQ, I reset it to Legacy Mode, P-ATA + S-ATA, SATA Keep Enabled=No, PATA Keep Enabled=No, PATA Channel Selection=Both, Combined Mode Option=PATA 1st Channel, SATA Ports Definition= P0-Master/P1-Slave. Now my PC could detect the SATA drive and set it as the D drive (and the IDE remained as Drive C) but my two DVD ROMs disappeared. The Standard CMOS Features in the BIOS setting was:
Primary IDE Slave - IC35L060AVV207-0
Secondary IDE Master - WDC WD1600JD-00HBB
The rest is Not Installed.
So, I (only) changed Combined Mode Option to SATA 1st Channel. So apparently my PC now booted using the WinXP copy on the SATA disk (recall that I have WinXP on both hard disks). And now the SATA disk is C, and both DVD ROMs are visible. My IDE disk disappeared.
Now I went back to the BIOS menu and switched back to PATA 1st Channel, reset it back to P-ATA Only, and changed SATA Keep Enabled=Yes. Voila. Now I can see my IDE disk as Drive C, SATA disk as Drive D, the two DVD ROMs as Drives E and G. Everything looks fine except that some of the start-up programs no longer start up apparently because their paths used to be E:\.... but now the disk they are on was renamed from E to D so the operating system cannot locate them. And the Standard CMOS Features menu reads:
Primary IDE Master - Not Installed
Primary IDE Slave - IC35L060AVV207-0
Secondary IDE Master - Pioneer DVD ROM
Secondary IDE Slave - Lite On DVD ROM
Third IDE Master - Not Installed
Third IDE Slave - Not Installed
Fourth IDE Master - WDC WD1600JD-00HBB
Fourth IDE Slave - Not Installed
Problem 1 (the main problem): Difficulty detecting SATA disk – Resolved. If anyone is kind enough, maybe you can tell me and others why suddenly the BIOS setting was changed by itself causing all these problems, and why “P-ATA Only, SATA Keep Enabled=Yes” works but “P-ATA + S-ATA, SATA Keep Enabled=No” does not. Should I now tweak the Windows registry to change the drive letter of the SATA disk from D to E?
Problem 2: I just bought an internal Hitachi Deskstar 640GB SATA disk. And I have a vacant orange SATA connector on my mobo. Can I add it together with the existing 2? Would it be set up as Third IDE Master, Fourth IDE Slave, or something else?
Problem 3: I used to have a Samsung DDR PC2700 512MB memory module and during the last week I added a Corsair DDR PC3200 1GB memory module, both on the green slots (not the purple slots). It caused my PC to freeze (keyboard and mouse not responsive) every now and then. So I pulled out the Samsung one and it has been working fine. Some said one has to use memory from the same manufacturer with the same size and same everything. The sticky thread titled “NEO Boards Unofficial FAQ rev 4/05/2004 - two lights on "P" series” in this forum has a question “I have this RAM xxxx but it does not work with my board. Can MSI update the BIOS to fix this?” and the answer points to a Product Info page and I don’t know where that is. Any advice on how to make both work together? Can I use the purple slots?
Problem 4: The “usable” space on my Dell M991 CRT monitor has shrunk. That is, the black areas on both sides, mostly RHS, have intermittently enlarged. It only happened in these 2 weeks. I tried Control Panel – Display – Settings – Advanced – Displays – Adjustments to no avail. I don’t have another monitor to try in order to test whether it has to do with the CRT. Just in case you happen to know anything, please jot a line.
Problem 5: Some of my USB ports do not work or only work intermittently. For example I plugged in my wireless adaptor into one of them and it sometimes would say “USB Device Not Recognized”.

Maybe your CMOS Battery is running low and it is time to replace it.

Try to change drive letters via the Windows Drive Manager:

If it is a SATA-II Drive, you will probably have to force it into SATA-I Compatibility mode first (check the hard drive user manual for jumper settings or firmware switches).

Exactly. Mixing different memory modules causes problems in many cases because the exact same settings will apply to both modules at the same time. What works for the one module may not work so well for the other one.

That is either related to the monitor itself or to the video card. It may also be related to a problem with the driver or improper screen resolution settings.

What ports? Front Panel or Back Panel?

Problem with Flash preloader in IE using swfObject 2

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.

Problem with preloader

hello, I´m using a preloader created using the technique
shown here...
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=18
It worked fine last time I used it, but this time, the
preloader only shows up after about 60% of the page has already
loaded, which might be too long.
My question is, is there anyway to avoid that?
Maybe adding a updateAfterEvent somewhere in the AS code?
thanks.
PS: here is the code used...
on frame 1...
var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded() /
_root.getBytesTotal();
preloader._width = amountLoaded * 400;
on frame 2..
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Haven't watched the mentioned tutorial, but in the old days
preloaders
used to stop working properly because of movieclips that get
exported
before frame #1. Those movieclips are loaded even before your
preloader
is loaded and run, effectively distorting the
bytes-to-load/total-bytes
ratio.
Check your library for such movieclips (under "linkage") and
tell us if
there are any.

Problem with preloader not passing over nextFrame();

The preloader I created doesn't transistion to the next frame, it just hangs on the preloader frame at 0%. Here is my code:
stop();
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader (evtObj:ProgressEvent):void{
var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
preloader_bar.width = (percent/100) * 600;
preloader_txt.text = "Loading " + percent + " %";
if (percent == 100) {
   nextFrame();
   this.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
The problem is when the swf is called online it stops on the 1st frame and shows the preloader at 0% and does nothing. I can right-click on the non-functional embedded flash swf and select play and it runs fine; but this doesnt make any sense for my users to be doing the same... However, when the file is recalled after the first attempt it works fine. Any ideas what could be going on?

Thanks, I think it’s working! I can't recreate the problem...
Code:
stop();
if (this.framesLoaded == this.totalFrames){
nextFrame();
else{
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader (evtObj:ProgressEvent):void{
   var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
   preloader_bar.width = (percent/100) * 600;
   preloader_txt.text = "Loading " + percent + " %";
   if (percent == 100) {
    nextFrame();
    this.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);

Problem with preloader and sounds

Hello everyone,
I am making a movie that has 12 sound files in it. I am
having trouble getting this to work with a preloader. I was using a
seperate flash movie and using the movieClipLoader to load in the
movie that has the sounds in it. However my employer wishes to have
everything in a single swf file. I know the concept, that the
sounds in the movie using attachSound need to be loaded before
first frame... but I need the preloader to take them into
account... how do I do that? I tried putting my preloader on frame
one, then had 12 keyframes in a row and just dragged the sounds
onto the stage (one for each keyframe there), and then the main
movie starts on frame 14... but that stil doesnt work... how can i
do this?

Just to let anyone know... I did figure this out on my own...
it makes it messy though and I dont like it... buuuuut what are you
going to do... I had to set the linkage in each sound in the
library to export and then uncheck the export in first frame...
then i had to create keyframes for each sound and put it on the
stage in frames 2-13. Preloader on frame 1 and main movie on frame
14... it works now.
