Preloader stoping swf from working properly

have made this external preloader to load my 2mb .swf, and it
works but when u click on a button the wipe go across the screen
but it doesnt change the page as you can see this on this link
below
Text
but its supose to look like this example( if you clicked on
the installs button a 3d amimated wipe will go across the screen
then it will jump to the Installs page)
Text
and i dont know why
im using the flash 8 Slide presentation template as its
perfect for what im achive easy to and works fine with out the
external preloader but if i use the external preloader it stop the
buttons working by stoping them going to the next page
the code that tells flash to goto the correct slide is in the
movie clip where the image sequance of the wipe is and at the end
of the image sequance i have an action layer which is as follows
// GoTo Screen behavior
if((_root.application.Installs != undefined) &&
(_root.application.Installs != null))
var screen = null;
var target = this;
while((screen == null) && (target != undefined)
&& (target != null))
if(target instanceof mx.screens.Screen)
screen = target;
else
target = target._parent;
if(screen instanceof mx.screens.Slide)
screen.gotoSlide(_root.application.Installs);
// End GoTo Screen behavior
and my external preloader code is as follows
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclL:Object = new Object();
mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target, loaded,total) {
loader.percent.text = Math.round((loaded/total) * 100) + "%";
mclL.onLoadInit = function () {
loader._visible = false;
loader.percent.text = "";
mcl.addListener(mclL);
mcl.loadClip("kidpower_Web.swf",holder);
b1.onRelease = function() {
loader._visible = true;
mcl.loadClip("kidpower_Web.swf",holder);
b2.onRelease = function() {
loader._visible = true;
mcl.loadClip("2_Web.swf",holder);
Thanks Martin

Ok. So after reading through a pile of forum posts and blogs I believe I may have my answer. Though I can't say I like it much.
It seems that Acrobat does not render video/swf pixels at 1:1 (See This Forum Comment) and the disparity causes the image to appear distorted. The only fix I have really seen so far is to play with the zoom level in acrobat until the image comes into focus. A point that is different on every screen.
Here are some of the posts I found most helpful:

I still want to think that there has to be a way to force a 1:1 pixel ratio, but I have not seen any solutions for doing so. There was a suggestion regarding setting the flash stage to NO_SCALE, but I am not entirely sure what the suggested implementation involves.
I would still love to hear ideas on how to create a better solution to this, but for now I suppose I will have to live with it as is.

  • .swf doesnt work properly

    the movie includes about 40 scenes, and works properly, but
    when i add another scene and place a 5min long movie clip on it,
    most of the other scenes dont play, they stop at the first frame.
    and no matter what i do with publish settings its always the same
    story..what could i be doing wrong. could it be my computer..not
    enough memory or something? i havent tried to export it on any
    other computer.. help, please

    When you say "40 scenes", just a quick question, have you
    imported them directly on to the stage to play in the timeline or
    imported your scenes dynamically using action script? If you have
    imported your movie clips directly onto the stage, you might find
    your pc may crash, especially, if you do not have a lot of memory.
    believe it or not, a 5 minute movie clip can seem like a quite a
    large in Flash. What also happens, your swf file needs to import
    all your files before displaying them either onto your PC or on the
    Web. If you do not have enough memory, it will take a long time to
    play or ulimately crash. Try importing your movie clips
    dynamically, using the NetConnection and NetStream in actionscript,
    then all your swf file has only to import maybe your movie player
    or the first movie, then whilst your user is viewing the rest of
    your site, the other movies will not need to be viewed until your
    user clicks on the available movie clip or link.

  • Embedded swf not working properly in Safari MAC browser

  • SWF not working properly when sent to acrobat

    I am trying to place a simple swf file in a layout but Acrobat refuses to display it at the correct size. It shows me the correct dimensions in the import dialog, but then seems to ignore them. The final placed object comes in at 320x240 no matter what.
    As for where the SWF is coming from, how it was made etc, I have tried multiple methods for making this work. Here's the list:
    1. Created an MSO in Indesign, exported the mso element as a SWF and replaced the swf in the document. FAIL - Transparency breaks and the size is wrong
    2. Retried about 5 versions of the about with opaque background and various sizes. FAIL - same problems
    3. Built the SWF in Flash Catalyst, placed in InDesign FAIL - same problems
    4. Used Catalyst swf, place directly in Acrobat 10. Import works, transparency works...FAIL - always resized to 320x240
    I am using Indesign CS5 and Acrobat 10 on Mac OS X 10.6.6
    I could really use some help here. I placed this same note in the acrobat forums, because I am getting pretty desperate here. I am supposed to deliver the final client file for this project today and this represents one of the key showcase elements!
    Thanks.

  • Preloader stops buttons from working?!

    Hi,
    I made a flash file with buttons that go here and there and everything was fine
    except it takes a while to load so i added a preloader and suddenly the compiler
    is throwing the following error:
    Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    ... and the buttons have ceased to function.
    Here is my code:
    preloader:
    import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
    function update(e:ProgressEvent):void
    var percent:Number = Math.floor( (e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal );
    if(preloaderMC is MovieClip){
    preloaderMC.gotoAndStop(percent);
    if(percent == 100){
    play();
    loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, update);
    // Extra test for IE
    var percent:Number = Math.floor( (this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded*100)/this.loaderInfo.bytesTotal );
    if(percent == 100){
    nextFrame();
    stop();
    scene 1:
    stop();
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    //---Hair Button---\\
    hair_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hairClick);
    function hairClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
        gotoAndStop("4");
    //---Home Button---\\
    home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeClick);
    function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
        gotoAndStop("1");
    //---Contact Button---\\
    weddings_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, weddingsClick);
    function weddingsClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
        gotoAndStop("3");
    //---Products Button---\\
    products_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, productsClick);
    function productsClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
        gotoAndStop("2");
    //---Gallery Button---\\
    gallery_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, galleryClick);
    function galleryClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
        gotoAndStop("5");
    //---Contact Button---\\
    contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contactClick);
    function contactClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
        gotoAndStop("6");
    Please help me sort this out!
    Thanks

    If you are getting a 1009 error, the file will not work, so the buttons might not be the problem.
    The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope.  This could mean that the object....
    - is not in the display list
    - doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
    - does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
    - is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
    - is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
    If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.

  • Will a blown battery stop my phone from working properly? only half loads on startup screen then crashes!

    Blackberry curve 8520 pearl

    Hello,
    Well, I think it depends on what you mean by "blown". Blown up? Overheated and expanded? Or just no longer functioning good, with no visible signs of any damage?
    Any of those can indeed cause this situation. To test, you need a known good identical battery to try in your BB. Likewise, an identical BB without problems, to use your current battery in. The results of this test will indicate if the problem indeed is your battery, or something else about your device itself.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • How do I get my outgoing email configurations for Profile Manager to work properly?

    Hey there,
    The outgoing mailservers for users with a custom domain Outlook.com system keep getting @imap-mailoutlook.com appended to their outgoing mailserver, this stops the outgoing emails from working properly.
    These are the email configuration settings for one of these accounts:
    Thanks so much in advance,

    The problem fixed itself when I uninstalled ZumoDrive free cloud storage and also Growl the notifier application. Had to employ AppZapper to uninstall all related files.... but all worked a treat. All is back to normal.

  • Swf is not working properly when upload to server

    I develop 1.swf which is having 3 buttons each one having
    anather .swf to call 2.swf, 3.swf respectively.
    This application is running perfectly on my PC, but
    While uploading the swf to server the 2.swf and 3.swf is
    not running. Can any one tell how to recover from this kind

    why is that we insist on seeing the source file ?
    There is no one way of doing things in flash and no one can
    help
    you based on "does not work description".
    This is way to broad of a subject to even try to guess.
    Same as asking "my car does not work, what's up with
    that"....
    Please upload the problematic file and provide url for us to
    check.
    Otherwise you need to try to troubleshoot it yourself as we
    can't
    guess from here what possibly is wrong with that file.

  • SWF file not working properly in Explorer

    I have made a kind of slide show showing jpg images loaded
    from the web in an swf file, and it will not work properly. It is
    my first .swf application, and I am using the free downloadable
    FlashObject.js to load the swf into the browser. The problem is
    that it sometimes loads perfectly, while other times it will not
    work at all! It is not the paths, because I have tried setting the
    images in the same directory as the swf, and not importing the
    image names thru flashVars. What drives me mad is that it works
    consistently in Explorer, the first time I load it, and the first
    time after I have cleared the temporary internet files. Otherwise
    it will not load at all. In Firefox however, if randomly fails to
    load about one time out of ten or something like that. The code is
    compiled using the free downloadable compiler. Anyone have any idea
    what may be wrong?

    Trick to not crashing is in FLASH
    Set publish settings to FLASH 8.
    Never use FLASH 9 with Actionsscript 3... This adds a lot of instability.
    1 of these swfs in a project could kill it.
    I render SWF at 30fps at 1920x1080 then into AE, then scale down to SD wide screen resolution 720x480 16x9.. set scale to 45.5 x 44.5 percent.
    I output final animation at Quicktime ANIMATION 100 millions of colors... 1.21 (16x9)audio added at 48k
    I have hundreds of hours trying to make this work reliably and finally I got the mix.
    Then I take QT to Premiere for final edit, audio and titles.

  • Cross reference not working properly in epub exported from IDCC

    Hi,
    I'm not sure whether this is a known issue within ID so forgive me for bringing it up if it is. I couldn't find any satisfying answer on this forum, hence my question.
    It seems that cross references between the xhtml-docs created from split ID document during the epub export don't work properly. They link to the text anchors specified as relative links. My editor uses software compliant to many e-reader platforms that removes all the relative links between the xhtml files within any epub and replaces them by absolute hyperlinks (http://). The result is... broken links all over. Their specification asks for the the anchor entires in the content.opf file instead of the relative links. Is there a way to work it out in InDesign and have the content.opf file contain the navigation to the anchors in xhtml files within the epub?
    I'm working with IDCC 9.1 btw. Would appreciate any help...
    Kind regards, Kasia

    Hi,
       Not sure exactly where you gone wrong.
       If you want the running sum to start from beginning for each YEAR and each LINES. Use this
               =RunningSum([Sales revenue]; ([Year];[Lines]))   => Need Square brackets around Year and Lines. This forum site doesn't display square bracket correctly
       If you want the running sum to start from beginning only for each LINES (regardless of YEARS). Use this
                =RunningSum([Sales revenue]; ([Lines]))
       Not sure why you added ROW in your functions. Hope this help. Works for me, just tested using my efashion with the same structure are yours.

    my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.
