UI Loader Component causing delay in preloader

Hi All-
I would really appreciate if you could help me with this
issue.
I have a preloader in the first scene. In the next scene is
my main movie, in which I have a UI Loader Component. I've
unchecked "export in first frame" in the linkage options for the UI
loader, but "export for Action Script" is still checked.
The problem is, when I do a "simulate download" my preloader
will not show on screen until it's about 15% loaded already. I'm
assuming this is because the "export for Action Script" for the UI
loader is still on, but the loader obviously won't work without
that option checked...
Is there any way to fix this??
I'm still new to Flash so please bear with me...

Thnx for the response Ned, I did do that. First inside of flash with control>test movie. The file worked so I brought onto the DW page and tested in Firefox. Didnt work.

Engage upgrade failed - could not load component library

Can anyone help with this......
I had Xcelsius 4.5 Pro and have bought the download to upgrade to Engage. I couldn't get it to install to begin with so I did the fix with Regedit and permissions. This allowed me to install the software but, on opening, I get the message "Could not load component library" I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the software - this didn't work. I also downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 to see if that would fix it, but I am still getting the same message. Grateful for any help with this problem please.
Thanks,
Ronnie

The cause of the error sounds like it is being thrown from the communcation between Xcelsius 2008 and the Canvas itself.
To further debug the issue, I'd suggest installing the debugger version of Flash Player. If there is a problem there, then this should expose it.
Uninstall Flash:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Install Flash Debug Player:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/flashplayer_9_ax_debug.exe
Note: make sure to re-install the regular Flash Player after troubleshooting.
Please post the message that the debugger displays if one so happens to occur.
Thanks,

Cannot load component class className from project: ProjectName

Hi guys,
I've a strange issue.
I found some solutions on google and on this forum, but they doesn't work for me.
I've a javafx application in netbeans in which I also use swing controls.
I created a custom jlabel control
public class Label extends JLabel {
    public Label()
    private void setAspect(String csFontName, int nSizeFont, boolean bold,Color cColor)
        int style=bold ? Font.BOLD : Font.PLAIN;
        this.setFont(new Font(csFontName,style,nSizeFont));
        this.setForeground(cColor);
    public Label(String csText)
        super(csText);
        setAspect("Tahoma",10,false,Color.black);
    public Label(String csText, int nSize)
        super(csText);
        setAspect("Tahoma",nSize,false,Color.black);
    public Label(String csText, int nSize, boolean bold)
        super(csText);
        setAspect("Tahoma",10,bold,Color.black);
    public Label(String csText, int nSize, boolean bold, Color cColor)
        super(csText);
        setAspect("Tahoma",10,bold,Color.black);
}I selected Label.java file in the project and I click on Tools->add to palette and I selected Swing controls as family.
I restarted netbeans and I found it in the palette.
I try to drag it into my swing form and I've :

Cannot load component class ortholab2.Label from project: D:\Progetti\<ProjectName>.

Thanks

That sounds more like a NetBeans-specific question, not a general java programming question.
Plus, your desciption is inconsistent:
Cannot load component class <ProjectName>.Label from project: D:\Progetti\<ProjectName>.
Cannot load component class ortholab2.Label from project: D:\Progetti\<ProjectName>What is the fully-qualified name of this class: ortholab2.Label ? ortholab2 being both the package name and the project name?
And where do you use it, in the same project or in yet another NetBeans project?

Flash Loader Component

Hello,
I'm trying to load an external image (JPG) that is 5000 by
300 Pixels.
The Loader component seems to be cropping the image at about
3300 by 300.
Is this the max size?
If so is there a work around ?
Else then why will it crop at this size when it is not being
specified anywhere?
Please Advise this is a time crtical question.

the max size is 2880, anything beyond that size will cause
problems.
> If so is there a work around ?
Yes, cut content into smaller parts, load it and put it up
together into one.

AS 2.0 Loader component question

I have a site that has a gallery with 40 images, takes a long
time to load so I need to find the best way to correct. The files
that load manually now are movieclips that play in 10 second frames
in their own timeline with an alpha effect on each all the jpgs and
other files are in the main fla which is huge because of this. I
was going to use the loader component but I see you can only use
for .jpgs and I can't put the effect on jpgs, other obvious way is
using loadMovie but then I have to convert all mc's to separate
swfs. Before I go that route is there another way to do this?

Making a Jpeg gallery with the Loader component...

I'm trying to make a gallery using many loader component
thumbnail photos that present their larger image in a different
(loader component) box when rolling over with my cursor...Is this
right? Is there an easier way I can do this?
If I can do it this way easily, I'd like to. PLEASE, if
anybody has the answer let me know, thank you.

This sounds right. The nice thing is that you can replicate
the loader component and give it various instance names and just
point each one to its photo in your ActionScript.
I did something similar here:

ContentPath not working in a loop for a Loader component

i'm trying to load pics into a loader in my movieclip, i'm
looping through about 20 items, to be placed in a movieclips
dynamically attached...
this does not work...
mcContainer['node'+nCount].pic.contentPath=myimagepath;
this does work...
mcContainer['node'+nCount].pic.loadMovie(myimagepath);
but it does not come in scaled / sized like I want...
any reason why the images do not appear in the loader
component in the movieclip? it's like the screen is not being
refreshed or the loader never finishes, when I trace the
contentPath after the fact it says the right path, but no image is
there.

contentPah is used to specify linkageID's only, and will not
work for a URL. you correctly used the load method to get the
picture in there, now you just have to scale it. if you set the
loader's scaleContent to true, your image will scale to the
loader's size, and vice versa if you set the property to false. if
you need to do some custom scaling based on the size of the image,
you can grab those properties like so:
myLoader.content._width
not that the above property, and any scaling commands, will
only work after the loader finishes loading, so you'll need to put
that stuff in an event handler for the loader.complete event...
hope that helps

White box under Loader Component

I am using the Loader Component to load my images as they are
viewed in my file.
Most of my images are ok, but some have a white box
underneath of them.
I'll have an image that is like 300 pixels wide and 100 tall,
but it looks like a 100 wide by 200 tall white box is behind the
image. It does this with random images using the Loader COmponent.
any ideas what is up or how to fix it?

weird solution. i copied all of my keyframes into a new
document and when testing the movie the box problem does not
appear.
is flash got bugs?

Loader Component in screens/app piece

I have an e-learning shell set up using the apps template. I
have several screens that have external swfs loading into the
loader component. With the auto load on the component the swfs all
automatically play upon load of the the app. If set to ffalse no
load upon the app loading. I do not want them to load when the app
loads only when you would move to the particular screen they are
on. I can put a play and stop button in the external swf but I
would rather that they play automatically when the user navigates
to the screen they are sitting on. Any ideas on actionscript to
control this?
Thanks!

I don't understand your explanation.
Is the SWFLoader loading a full SWF or an embedded symbol? What is an invisible mode and how do you know it is in that mode?

Loader component problem

This should be a simple problem. I want to use the flash
loader component to load pictures. I drag the loader onto the
stage. Type the pic name in the parameters and save them in the
same folder but nothing comes up? I'm using flash 8. Do I have
setting wrong or something?I have a video tutorial on how to do
this and I follow it eactly but it doesn't work.

Just a quick checklist.
1. is the Loader control set to AutoLoad = true?
2. are you sure the instance name of your Loader is
contentLoader?
3. if you type in the contentPath property in the parameters
window does it work then?

Loader Component Question

Can I have two loader components in one flash file (my main web page) I have a main loader for my pages to load into when the corresponding button is clicked. I need to add a second one for a small .swf file of a interactive calendar. So I guess I need another loader . I tried to add another loader to my main flash page and it said something like this component is in use or has same name. I looked in my library and changed the name of my other loader to myLoader and it is still giving this wierd error. Is is possible to use the Loader component twice in one flash document? I also don't have them in the first frame of my document because I have an animation that plays through first.

I'm only trying to interpret what that message is telling me in this response. It seems to be indicating that you have some object in the library that you have named "calLoader" and assigned it a linkage ID of Loader (possibly by default) as well as another object in the library named myLoader that has the same linkage ID (possibly by default).
If these two objects are the same component type, then you only need one of them in the library. The different naming of them can be managed on the stage.

LOADER COMPONENT ISSUE

I noticed that when using the Loader component in Flash 8 -
the following issue:
I have a thumbnail gallery that uses the Loader component to
view the large image.
when i view the site in fire fox it works perfectly (scaling
the content and centering it within the loader component shape)
but when i view it in IE - no scaling or centering occurs!!??
any idea why this is happening and how i can rectify
it?

Hey why don't you try adjusting the permissions and hot
linking protection on your servers control panel? This might be the
problem.

Loader Component Trouble

Hey guys...
I'm back. I am still working on this site, and have worked
through numerous challanges and gotten through, but I have now hit
a roadblock that I cant seem to conquer... Here is the
situation....I have a “main” file.... I am using the
technique of loading external swf’s into a loader component
on the main file. So each individual page is a different swf file.
I have the navigation set up in a seperate swf file as well, and
have the nav bar loading into another instance of the loader in the
“main” file. The navigation has its own action
scripting that animates it, and I have written action script so
that when you click the buttons (I have attached the code that I
wrote for the buttons), the other loader on the main page should
load the corresponding swf... (still with me?) well I preview the
“main” page and it runs great and the home.swf
automatically loads and the nav loads (and animates), but when you
click the buttons nothing happens... I hope someone can help me
through this problem.... Thanks so much in advance....

.......Doesnt anyone know how to help me with this issue?
Best,
Ken

Loader Component IE7 Scaling Content Issue

Hello,
I have an image gallery that is using Loader components to
pull in the thumbnails and i have the scaling set to true, but in
IE7 it is very inconsistent in scaling... IE6 and Mozilla work
great, but IE7 is inconsistent... click on the top left to view
image galleries, then select Family or Weddings and you can see
what i mean..
http://www.gummyinteractive.com/projects/infinite/
thanks in advance!

Yes, because of the size of the stage being larger than that
of the Loader and loaded SWF, you will see it rendered 'outside'
the Loader component.
Simply mask the area of the Loader Component, in the loading
SWF.
