Preloader in scrollpane

I have a preloader for a swf file that works fine on its own,
until I load the swf into a scrollpane - then it doesn't show up at
all. Any suggestions? Here is the script that I am using:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var amount:Number = this.getBytesLoaded() /
this.getBytesTotal() * 100;
preloader._xscale = amount;
loadText.text = Math.round(amount) + "%";
if(amount == 100) {
this.gotoAndPlay("furniture");
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

once again, i answer my own question. i found out that the
preloader wasn't working because the inherent nature of "Export for
ActionScript" necessary for amking a movie loadable into a
ScrollPane loads that content at the very beginning. if you go into
the publish settings for the Flash output and click on the Settings
button next to the ActionScript Version selector, you can set which
frame of the movie you want to expert frames for classes to. set
this to frame 3 (most preloaders take up the first two frames), and
suddenly the preloader functions fine.

Preloader for a scrollPane?

hey all,
i'm loading a large (250k) movie into a scrollPane, and am
having serious issues trying to get a preloader to work in any
fashion. i've tried placing the preloader in the root level, but
the scrollpane forces the 250k to export on first frame to be
functional, thus making the preloader useless. i tries also to put
a preloader into the loaded 250k movie, but that made no
difference. is there a way around this, or are users just going to
have to wait on faith for the blank scrollpane to populate itself?
thanks,
morgan

Alpha Tween not working on ScrollPane gallery?

Hello i have a problem with my as3 working on normal movieclips, but not on the gallery, the site works by loading an external swf file with the UILoader, the swf that is loaded is a ScrollPane that loads a Movieclip.
The script i use:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTweenAlphaRoskilde:Tween = new Tween(roskildemc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 40, false);
1. frame is the preloader
2. frame is the Scrollpane and Movieclip that loads, the action is added here.
The file if it makes it easier:

Thank you very much! =)

As i wrote, the timeout stuff was added because the preloader wasnt loading the scrollpane the second time one visited the gallery, it just stuck because it was already loaded, see the other forum questioin i posted a link to. If you think it should be removed, exactly what parts should be removed? Could you post the script without the lines that are not needed, im not really a as3 pro.
There is a main index file with different uiloaders on various keyframes which loads the external swf files
[link removed at poster's request]
The external swf's have a preloader in frame 1 and in frame 2 it has the ScrollPane component that loads a movieclip.
[link removed at poster's request]
There is no uiloader code, im using the built in one, it loads the externals fine but i cant add the alpha tweening so they fade in.
There are 3 external swf's with the preload script i posted, the main index file has the folowing preload script:
stop();
var loadCompleteBool:Boolean;
trace("preloader frame");
if(loadCompleteBool){
trace("loadcomplete")
loaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
nextFrame();
//Preloader
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
    //container for the progress of the site (download)
    var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
     preloader_txt.text = percent+"%";
    if (percent==100){
trace("preloader")
loadCompleteBool=true;
         nextFrame();

Preloading Components Breaks Them

I am creating a Flash presentation that uses quite a few
components (UIScrollbar, Checkbox, RadioButton, Button,
ScrollPane). Now because I want to be able to have a preloader that
works properly, I have changed my Publish Settings to set "export
frame for classes" to frame 6 (The frame after the preloader). I
have also gone to each of the components in my library, opened the
linkage settings, and unchecked the "Export in First Frame"
checkbox.
Now when I test my movie, the components do not work. For
instance, the UIScrollbar does not display the Arrow buttons (nor
does it work at all), and the scrollpane's dimensions are not what
I have set them to be in the movie. If I revert the settings back
to export on first frame and export frame for classes back to 1,
everything works fine.
Anyone have any ideas?

I took advice from another forum and decided to separate my
preloader and presentation into two different SWFs.
For those who may be interested, I used the MovieClipLoader
class to load my movie into a container clip in the preloader. I
had to adjust my preloader which was using the getBytesLoaded and
getBytesTotal to use the class's function onLoadProgress to animate
the progress bar.
I also had to go through and adjust buttons that referred to
movie clips on the root layer. Because I loaded the clip into
another movie, those clips were no longer on the _root layer. They
were on the _root.containerMC clip layer.
After these adjustments, everything worked fine. I can also
reuse my preloader for any other presentations for which I might
need a preloader. Thanks for the help.

Preloader not loading on second click?

Hello, i use an action for preloading a movieclip on my website and it works the first time it downloads, but when you click on the gallery again, it doesnt load, but just shows the start of the preloader.
Can you see what could be wrong in the script, or if the problem is elsewhere?
The site:
[link removed at poster's request]
You can see the problem if you click on "Talk Show Hosts", wait untill it loads, click clients and then back to "Talk Show Hosts".
Now it doesnt load, and its the same with the other galleries.
The site works by loading an external swf file with the UILoader, the swf that is loaded is a ScrollPane that loads a Movieclip.
Would be really happy about a solution to my problem =)
Thank you!
stop();
//Preloader
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
    //container for the progress of the site (download)
    var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
    preloader_txt.text = percent+"%";
    if (percent==100){
        nextFrame();

loading is complete (because of cache retrieval of your file) when your loader is displayed. so, no progressevent is dispatched. to remedy,
stop();
var loadCompleteBool:Boolean;
if(loadCompleteBool){
nextFrame();
//Preloader
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
    //container for the progress of the site (download)

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!

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)+"%";

Custom graphics in java.awt.ScrollPane

Hi all,
I have to draw a custom created image in a scroll pane. As the image is very large I want to display it in a scroll pane. As parts of the image may change within seconds, and drawing the whole image is very time consuming (several seconds) I want to draw only the part of the image that is currently visible to the user.
My idea: creating a new class that extends from java.awt.ScrollPane, overwrite the paint(Graphics) method and do the drawings inside. Unfortunately, it does not work. The background of the scoll pane is blue, but it does not show the red box (the current viewport is not shown in red).
Below please find the source code that I am using:
package graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.ScrollPane;
import java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent;
public class CMyComponent extends ScrollPane {
 /** Listener to force a component to repaint when a scroll bar changes its
 * position.
 private final class ScrollBarAdjustmentListener implements java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener {
 /** The component to force to repaint. */
 private final Component m_Target;
 /** Default constructor.
 * @param Target The component to force to repaint.
 private ScrollBarAdjustmentListener(Component Target) { m_Target = Target; }
 /** Forces to component to repaint upon adjustment of the scroll bar.
 * @see java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener#adjustmentValueChanged(java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent)
 public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) { m_Target.paint(m_Target.getGraphics()); }
 public CMyComponent() {
 // Ensure that the component repaints upon changing of the scroll bars
 ScrollBarAdjustmentListener sbal = new ScrollBarAdjustmentListener(this);
 getHAdjustable().addAdjustmentListener(sbal);
 getVAdjustable().addAdjustmentListener(sbal);
 public void paint(Graphics g) {
 setBackground(Color.BLUE);
 g.setColor(Color.RED);
 g.fillRect(getScrollPosition().x, getScrollPosition().y, getViewportSize().width, getViewportSize().height);
 public final static void main(String[] args) {
 java.awt.Frame f = new java.awt.Frame();
 f.add(new CMyComponent());
 f.pack();
 f.setVisible(true);
}

Dear all,
I used the last days and tried several things. I think now I have a quite good working solution (just one bug remains) and it is very performant. To give others a chance to see what I have done I post the source code of the main class (a canvas drawing and implementing scrolling) here. As soon as the sourceforge project is accepted, I will publish the whole sources at there. Enjoy. And if you have some idea for my last bug in getElementAtPixel(Point), then please tell me.

}Ah, just to give you some idea: I use this component to visualize a hex grid map with more than 1 million grid elements. And it works, really fast, and requires less than 10 MByte of memory.

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.

Design problem(split pane scrollpane Insets)

hi,
doing a exam simulator prgm
design is like,
Question (text area with scrollpane)
Answers (checkbox inside panel with scrollpane)
used split pane between qst and ans but big thick bar comes how to reduce size and it is not
moving.
used GridLayout for container and panel.
PROBLEM is how to leave space qst textarea appears from very left edge of screen how to leave some space
same prblm for checkbox they to appear extreme left on screen.

Put those components in a JPanel overwriting the getInsets() method like this:
JPanel cPane=new JPanel(){
    private final Insets _insets=new Insets(10,10,10,10);
    public Insets getInsets(){
        return _insets;
};...should do the trick, take a look at the Insets class if you need information on how defining it...

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:

Problem with ScrollPane and JFrame Size

Hi,
The code is workin but after change the size of frame it works CORRECTLY.Please help me why this frame is small an scrollpane doesn't show at the beginning.
Here is the code:
import java.awt.*;
public class canvasExp extends Canvas
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     ImageLoader map=new ImageLoader();
    Image img = map.GetImg();
    int h, w;               // the height and width of this canvas
     public void update(Graphics g)
        paint(g);
    public void paint(Graphics g)
            if(img != null)
                 h = getSize().height;
                 System.out.println("h:"+h);
                  w = getSize().width;
                  System.out.println("w:"+w);
                  g.drawRect(0,0, w-1, h-1);     // Draw border
              // System.out.println("Size= "+this.getSize());
                 g.drawImage(img, 0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight(), this);
                int width = img.getWidth(this);
                //System.out.println("W: "+width);
                int height = img.getHeight(this);
                //System.out.println("H: "+height);
                if(width != -1 && width != getWidth())
                    setSize(width, getHeight());
                if(height != -1 && height != getHeight())
                    setSize(getWidth(), height);
}I create frame here...

}...and call here
public class main {
     public main(){}
     public static void main (String args[])
         frame f = new frame();
}There is something I couldn't see here.By the way ImageLoader is workin I get the image.
Thank you for your help,please answer me....

I'm not going to even attempt to resolve the problem posted. There are other problems with your code that should take priority.
-- class names by convention start with a capital letter.
-- don't use the name of a common class from the standard API for your custom class, not even with a difference of case. It'll come back to bite you.
-- don't mix awt and Swing components in the same GUI. Change your class that extends Canvas to extend JPanel instead, and override paintComponent(...) instead of paint(...).
-- launch your GUI on the EDT by wrapping it in a SwingUtilities.invokeLater or EventQueue.invokeLater.
-- calling setSize(...) followed by pack() is meaningless. Use one or the other.
-- That's not the correct way to display a component in a scroll pane.
Ah, well, and the problem is that when you call pack(), it retrieves the preferredSize of the components in the JFrame, and you haven't set a preferredSize for the scroll pane.
Please, for your own good, take a break from whatever it is you're working on and go through The Java™ Tutorials: [Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html]

Problem with drawing in a scrollpane using clipbounds

Hello
Setup is a JFrame containing a splitpane with on the left just some config buttons and on the right a scrollpane.
Inside the scrollpane I want to draw big waveforms.
This is represented by a long array of 1's and 0's for the Y coordinates.
On drawing in paintComponents method I allways reconstruct a GeneralPath, based on the Clipbouns returned by the Graphics variable.
I have to reconstruct the GeneralPath polygon because my data can be millions long. And therefor I have to limit the points that are drawn.
When I allways reconstruct this GeneralPath, upon scrolling the polygon is shown scrappy, as in the line connecting the points will only be half shown or almost not.
Resizing the window or just minimize maximize and it is shown ok.
I do not have this problem when the GeneralPath I construct is only once made upfront and never remade in the paintComponent method.
But as I need the clipbounds to know which part to construct I need to rebuild this polygon over and over again.
I have tried to draw it with Line2D.Double but I get almost the same effect, parts of the lines not being drawn ok.
Below is the code of the Panel inside the ScrollPane responsible for this drawing.

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.
