Preloader percent

Hi Group,
I am creating a preloader that uses a mask to display part of
a logo during load. However, the tutorial I found doesn't include a
percentage text field. I would like to be able to add a dynamic
text field labled something like text_percent and then have it
dispaly the loading percentage along with mask. Below is the action
script I am using for the mask portion. Can anyone help?
stop();
rectMask_mc._height = 1;
this.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
var loadedData:Number = this.getBytesLoaded();
var allData:Number = this.getBytesTotal();
var percent:Number = Math.round(loadedData/allData*100);
rectMask_mc._yscale = percent;
if (loadedData >= allData) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};

>>(getBytesTotal / BetBytesLoaded)*100
Just an FYI, but with operator precedence, / and * are the
same. So the
parenthesis is unnecessary, though still useful for a quick
visual of the
order you want. And those are functions:
getBytesTotal() / getBytesLoaded() * 100;

Flvpayback preloader percent with VideoEvent.READY

Hello,
I'm trying to get a dynamic tex box to go from 0 to100%, 100% would be when videoEvent is ready. I cant think of a way to do this. Any suggestions? I guess I need to know how many bytes it takes for VideoEvent.READY to happen.
heres my code as of right now..
import fl.video.*;
import fl.controls.ProgressBarMode;
// Set Variables
var flvControl = display;
var flvSource = "main_vid.flv";
// Create event handler functions to control the progressbar
function progressHandler(event:VideoProgressEvent):void
   var bl = Math.round(event.bytesLoaded/1000);
   var bt = Math.round(event.bytesTotal/1000);
   // Update progress...
   pb.setProgress(bl,bt);
   loader_txt.text = Math.floor((loaded/total)*100)+ "%";
function readyHandler(event:VideoEvent):void
   // Remove progressbar when we start playing...
     removeChild(pb);
     removeChild(loader_txt);
// Set progress bar state
pb.mode = ProgressBarMode.MANUAL;
pb.indeterminate = false;
// Add listeners and load the video
flvControl.addEventListener(VideoProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
flvControl.addEventListener(VideoEvent.READY, readyHandler);
flvControl.source = flvSource;
Thanks,
Mark

OK, so I think I was misunderstanding Video.Event.READY.. It just states that the video is ready and not downloaded(correct me if I'm wrong).
So I need to use display.playWhenEnoughDownloaded();, but how would I get the bytes out of that method? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark

HELP - preloader not working

Using CS4 Actionscript 2.0
Frame 1 of preloader:
percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100);
myOutput.text = percent+ "%";
Frame 2 of preloader:
if(percent== 100){
nextScene();
}else{
gotoAndPlay(1);
Check out what happens after percentage loaded. It just goes to Frame 1 of next scene but doesn't play it.... although if you right click and click PLAY it will indeed play it..
How to get it to start upon 100% loaded??
THANK you
I SHOULD NOTE that the scene that won't play has an embedded FLV in timeline

Hi Ned, and thanks
I tried moving FLV to frame 3, and changed actionscript accordingly, but now the preloader only flashes quickly and the movie starts... so there is no counting of bytes any longer, just a quick flash of the preloader text and the movie starts

Broken Preloader

The Preloader doesn't seem to work in Captivate 6. I'm using the default loading.gif with a Preloader Percent setting of 2% (we've used with perfect success for months in Captivate 5.5). When the file is published, it can take several minutes depending on the connection speed for the file to start. It seems like it's loading the entire file regardless of the Preloader settings. This is very different than files published in Captivate 5.5 that would start right up within seconds.
We are doing pretty standard courses with graphics, slides, and audio.
What has changed with the preloader to cause this type of behavior?

If you upgraded the course to Captivate 6 from version 5.5 the project may still be looking for the preloader in the old location under the Cp 5.5 install directory.
Open your project and look at the path that is currently set for the preloader in the Preferences > Project > Start and End section. If it is still pointing to the Cp 5.5 location, change it to point to the preloaders in Cp 6.

Error #1009 Help!

Dear All,
I hope you can help me with what is probably a very simple problem yet seems to affect most people! However, I've spent all day researching it and trying all sorts of codes to resolve the error!
I am in the process of building a new website using Flash CS5 and I am very new to whole scripting business (as3). Having finished the main content of the website, I created an external preloader so it can load the main SWF file. However, when I debug or test the scene I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
   at Index_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[Index_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:11]
After many hours, I find the publish settings, publish debugging which actually tells me what line/frame is causing the problem! If I go to my main file (labelled as Index.Fla) and look at Frame 1, Line 11 it indicates:
var buttonsArray:Array = [works_btn,about_btn,contact_btn];
... which sounds about right, considering when the preloader has finished the main flash file navigation buttons (work/about/contact) appear to not work quite right. They still function taking you to the right pages (or frames) but the mouse over, mouse click functions do not work.
Now I'm not really sure how to deal with this, because All the buttons (which are Movie clips) are located on Frame one and have the right instance names and PLUS when I debug the Index.Fla file, everything works as normal.
Should I assume there is something wrong with my preloader file?
Below is the script for the preloader and frame one fo the index file. Hope you can help me! Thanks!

            break;
    return frame;

Ok, so you're saying Flash has indicated the wrong Line Number that is causing the problem? It's funny because if I hadn't ticked publish debugging in the properties, the error would just say:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
   at Index_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
with no indication as to which line or frame is causing the problem.
Anyway, I've inputted a code that deliberately causes an error and the line numbers match up (correct). I did this until Line 10 and the preloader error still indicates Frame 1, Line 11 (which is the var buttonsArray function). I did it after line 11 (line 12) and the error was identified as Line 12.
any ideas?

Preloader starts at 80 Percent ??

Hi guys,
I'm running this script from the first action frame in order
to load two scenes. Nevertheless, once I insert any large FLV file,
the loader starts displaying only at 80 percent. Is there any
alteration that anyone can suggest that will make sure this code
captures from at least 10 percent? Your help would be much
appreciated.

FLV files are not streamed unless they are served from a
Flash Media Server.
The preloader issue is probably because the OP is using the
FLV Playback
Component. All components are by default set to load on Frame
1, i.e.
before your preloader has a chance to show up.
To solve the issue, right click on the component in the
library, choose
"Linkage" and uncheck "Export on first frame". Then set the
"Export
Frame for Classes" to something other than Frame 1. Do this
by going to
File>Publish Settings and under the Flash tab, and click
the
"Settings..." button next to ActionScript version.

Preloader with percent loading

I think will be nice have a possibility to make a custom loader pager or maybe only have percents counting in the loader page of the Project ROME.
Thanks;

If you upgraded the course to Captivate 6 from version 5.5 the project may still be looking for the preloader in the old location under the Cp 5.5 install directory.
Open your project and look at the path that is currently set for the preloader in the Preferences > Project > Start and End section. If it is still pointing to the Cp 5.5 location, change it to point to the preloaders in Cp 6.

Percent preloader for video flv's?

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.

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);

Add An Enter Button To a Preloader

On my site I have 2 scenes and I'd like to add an 'Enter' button for moving from the preloader to the main site. How would I do that in this code?
stop();
preloader._width = 0;
preloader._visible = preloader_bg._visible = true;
preloader.onEnterFrame = function()
    filesize_total = _root.getBytesTotal();
    if( filesize_total == 0 ) filesize_total = 1;
    percent = Math.round( _root.getBytesLoaded() / filesize_total * 100 );
    txt = percent + "%";
    preloader._width = percent * 3;
    if( percent == 99 )
        delete this.onEnterFrame;}
enter_btn.onPress
     gotoAndPlay("flashmo_dream", "start");

I don't know where you are getting these tutorials, but they sound like they are very, very old. Along with not using AS2, you shouldn't be using scenes. Scenes are a left over method from the very earliest versions of Flash.
The objective in preloading content is that you are loading in new content before the user needs it. If you are doing this loading well, the user will not know that the operation went on. Any sort of loading screen should only be seen if the user calls for content that has not loaded yet. Your design objective should be to show something to the user as quickly as possible when the user hits your site. Load in your additional content and then let the user experience your site.
If you create a button on the stage in the same frame as your preloader object and name that button "enter_btn", then the code that you've shown above should do what you want.
I haven't used AS2 in many years. I don't remember a lot about its syntax, but from what I read of your code, it looks like you are measuring the loading of the file that contains the preloader object. This methodology can lead to a problem. When Flash begins working, a certain amount of the movie has to load before anything is seen on the screen. This means that the loading telltale that you have set up in your code will never show "0%", and probably not even "50%".
Here's a good tutorial that uses AS3 and fully explains the code and how the loader operates: http://flashexplained.com/preloaders/basic-loading-bar-preloader/
Here's another: http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3preloader/
And here's a third: http://flashexplained.com/preloaders/making-the-complete-internal-preloader-in-flash-8-wit h-a-loading-bar-and-mathematical-preloaders/
Take a look at those examples and compare and contrast their methods.

I have a preloader, but...

I have an mp3 file in a Flash movie using Flash MX.
The movie purely consists of the mp3 file and a stop and play
button.
I would like the music (or movie) to play when 50% loaded and
I am searching the net to find a way.
I already have a preloader which works perfectly using the
following actionscript...but I'd like to know what to tweak in
order to make the music (movie) play when 50% loaded. My current
action script is as follows...
lBytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
loader.bar._xscale = percentLoaded;
loader.percent.text = percentLoaded + "% of " +
Math.floor(tBytes/1024) + "K loaded.";
if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>0) {
if (count>=12) {
gotoAndStop("main");
} else {
count++;
gotoAndPlay("preload");
} else {
gotoAndPlay("preload");
....I know that there are other ways of playing mp3 on Flash
(ie. Media Playback Component and a multitude of templates on the
net) however I find that the Flash players that load the mp3
externally play at different speeds in different browers, so
becuase of this I choose to have the mp3 located within the flash
movie to avoid any inconsistancies amongst browsers. All I require
is actionscript that makes the music (or movie) play when 50%
loaded.
I'm gonna continue to search for an answer, and if I find a
solution I will update my post.
Thanks!
You can see the swf file in the following htm page...
http://www.plobs.com/theme_song.htm

Thanks for the info.
I tried the action script provided, but it didn't
work...maybe I inserted it in the wrong place.
Anyhow, I am currently trying out your other suggestion. I'm
in the process of creating the mp3 with 44HZ.
If that doesn't work (fingers crossed it will), I will have
another play around with the action script.

Looking for a preloader that would work with my fullscreen (liquid) flash

Hi!
I'm building my own Flash website using a fullscreen (liquid
layout) Flash tutorial that I found somewhere (can't remember
where)...
I was having problems with a preloader that I've been using
(modifying) for my Flash jobs... I decided to keep working on my
website anyway and get back to that later... But now it's just
annoying me and I'd really love to figure out how to get a
preloader to work with my site.
My site is not complete yet, and it's probably not built the
best way it should (my first full-flash website!.. plus I'm a
designer, I really suck with code) but here's a link to download my
zipped .fla file (Flash CS3) + fonts (don't know if you need that
but anyway):
http://www.studioorangedesign.com/SOD_site.zip
Hopefully, you guys can tell me how I could get a preloader
to work with my site.
All I really need is to have a really simple clean font that
shows a percentage going up or a bar filling up... nothing fancy
needed here...
Thanks!

Hi there,
The following code is what I use for preloading. You have to
put it on the first frame. I think you will be able to attach it to
your own code.
//Actionscript 3
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,testInterval);
function testInterval(e:Event):void{
var nLoadedBytes:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
var nTotalBytes:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
//trace (nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)
percent.text = Math.round(nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)+
“% complete”;
//trace (nLoadedBytes / nTotalBytes * 100)
if (nLoadedBytes >= nTotalBytes) {
trace(”load complete”);
this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,testInterval);
play();
//End

Need help with image gallery and preloader

Here is my portfolio site currently. WWW.PALMEI.COM. When you go into the the galleries you can view the images; the images load and it's all working fine. But if I was to go back on the page before the image was to load the image loads later which is then in the way of everything and cannot be deleted or removed. What would a solution be for solving this problem. Also, my preloader is not working at all as you can tell.
Here is my code in frame 1 for the perloader:
[AS]
stop();
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreLoader);
function updatePreLoader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
                    var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
                    preloader_txt.text = percent+"%";
                              if (percent==100) {

Flash MX Preloader for external JPGs

Hey all! Any help would be greatly appreciated. In all
honesty, I have searched and studied and worked to get this myself,
which I do alot with code, etc. BUT I am going to admit I'm a "make
it pretty on the outside" kind of guy, and coding makes my eyeballs
fall out and well, honestly, I just don't get it. My brain can not
wrap itself around this. Sigh! So I could use your help a little.
This is what I'm wanting to do. I have a website,
www.luxeillustrato.com, and if you go to the portfolio area, and
click on any of the sections (take fine art for example); it will
showcase my works by loading external jpg files each time you click
the forward arrow button.
You can see I have preloaders on the site, that work fine. My
main page has a movie target with the instance name of photoM. You
click "artist", and it loads a new swf file into the photoM target.
IF you click on "portfolio", "fine art", it loads the fine art swf
file into photoM, using a preloader. THEN, if you click on the
forward arrow button, a new jpg image of my work is loaded into the
fine art movie target with the instance name of just
photo. As you can see, you have to wait until the jpg image
loads (and you start to wonder if it's doing anything.)
The problem is, it is not preloading the external jpgs, it's
just preloading the fine art swf. My preload code is currently:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
totalBytes = _parent.getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.ceil((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
gotoAndStop(percent);
info_txt.text = percent+" %";
if (percent>=100) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("inter");
I already have the preload animation bar created (as you can
see on the site.) What do I need to do to alter the code above (or
replace it) in order to have the external jpgs be preloaded as
well? For example's sake, let's just say I have four jpgs, titled
"door.jpg", "orange.jpg", "boyfriend.jpg", and "untitled.jpg" (in
case these are needed for the code. They may not be.)
I hope this is easy to understand. If NOT, just tell me. I'll
simplify. And seriously, thanks!

put a stop() on the first frame of your external swf in an otherwise empty first frame. when preloading is complete apply a play() to your loader's content cast as a movieclip:
function contentLoaded(evt:Event):void {
//Optionally change to a clip holder and set progressbar visibility.
addChild(contentLoader);
MovieClip(contentLoader.content).play();
