Website preloader code ?

Code help please !
Would anyone be kind enough to share AS3 code for a preloder.
I need my custom made progress wheel in frame 1 to act as a
preloader and navigate to frame 2 when the file fully loads.
Thanks,
Fred...

My website is totally finished but the buttons don't work properly
on frame 1 unless the entire file is loaded. So I wanted to move everything
over a frame and put the custom made "progress wheel" movie clip
I created into frame 1 so it spins until the movie fully loads, then it
should
navigate to frame 2 which would now be the main page with the buttons.
Thank you for taking your time to try and help me.

Why is so slow filtering links in a website source code?

I was using Automator extracting links from a webpage, and then i pasted them in a textedit document. I thought it would be better doing it by applescripting, but it's sooooo slow; to grab and filter all the links in a website source code lasts about 1 or 2 minutes! With Automator barely 20 secs. I don't know which different process it is inside...
Any ideas?

No the code worx... the forum software took away ] and [
tell application "Safari"
tell document 1
set theLinks to (do JavaScript "
var hrefs = new Array();
for (var i=0;i<document.links.length;i++)
hrefs.push(document.links[i])
hrefs;
set site_name to (do JavaScript "document.title")
end tell
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
launch
set theText to "Link at: " & site_name & return & return
repeat with k from 1 to count of theLinks
set theText to (theText & (item k of theLinks) as text) & return
end repeat
make new document at front with properties {text:theText}
activate
end tell

AS3 preloader - code overload

Is there an easier way to create a custom preloader animation
in AS3? The
only information I can find on the web tends to have about
two pages of code
with stuff like "packages" and "public/private functions"
which I've never
used and unfortunately do not understand. The idea seems
simple to me [(var
ratio = (bytesLoaded/bytesTotal)*100) then have a movie clip
(load_mc) one
hundred frames long displaying 00-99 respectively for each
frame. Then find
some way to call a function that says
[load_mc.gotoAndStop(ratio);]. I've
seen AS2 tutorials on this subject and they all kinda follow
this general
idea. Why then in AS3 do you need two pages of code for an
action that
required 5 or 6 lines of code in a previous version of
ActionScript (AS2)?
No..no...sorry that's not my question. **sighs** I just need
to know if
there is an easier-to-understand method to creating
prealoaders in AS3? I'm
making an intro movie for a new website and the final swiff
will probably be
close to 1 MB so I want to display a simple loading animation
instead of a
blank screen. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, AS3 can look very complex, and many times it is. You
don't need to create packages to use AS3. You can, but you don't
have to. Writing classes in packages allow you to create libraries
of reusable code. You can just write code that will work for you in
a frame script space in a layer of your movie. In many cases, and
for simple movies, this works just fine.
To create a preloader animation, you can use the UILoader and
ProgressBar classes. You can also use the Loader class. Here's an
example that uses the Loader class:

Designing websites -- what code do I need to add to allow a pop behind window to open from one of my webpages? I have code, but Firefox is the only browser that won't pop behind. It pops on top instead. That's not what I want.

I have designed websites, and would like a pop under (new window) to be displayed BEHIND the current/open window. I have code that does this on all browsers except firefox. For some reason, Firefox insists on opening up the new window on top of the active browser window session. It covers the entire page. Reason is because I purposely have a new full-size window opening BEHIND the open browser. Is there some code I can add to my web page script that forces the new window to open up BEHIND the active/open browser, specific to firefox?

if you dont have irc, use mibbit
maybe they can help you :)
Good luck!

Preloader Code: Error 1061

I bought a preloader on Flashden.com and it didn't come with much instruction.
Here is what I have done:
My index file has my timeline with actions, preloader, and then my movie clips for my opening page. I have placed my preloader movieclip in frame 1 and it ends on frame 2. In frame one on the actions layer I have stop();
I then have all of my movie clips on frame 3 with my actions for my movieclips on frame three. I added a name to frame 3 named index
My preloader movieclip has this code:
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(evt:Event):void
    var percentageLoaded:Number = Math.round(this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded/ this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal*100);
     this.loaderInformation.loadingtxt.text = "Loading "+percentageLoaded+"%";
    if(percentageLoaded>=100)
        this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
        this.parent.gotoAndPlay("index");
When I test the file I get a 1061 Error saying Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a refernece with static type flash.disply:DisplayObjectContainer.
Any ideas on what I can do to correct this? I contacted the person I purchased it from but have not heard back yet.
Thank you!

Try casting the parent as a MovieClip...
       MovieClip(this.parent).gotoAndPlay("index");

Preloader Code Help

I have a preloader on my website that seems to be very
temperamental, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have
posted the script below, please let me know what I can do to fix
the main probelm of the load bar freezing at 0%.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _root.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(2);
Thanks

Preloader code

I'm using the code from this tutorial for a preloader. Though I am not using a dynamic text field like the tutorial says.
I took the line referring to the dynamic text field out of the code, but it's still not working?
The animation has 2 frames with movie clips in each. One for the preloader and one for the main content.
Do I need to put somekind of stop or non-looping code in here so it doesn't go back to frame 1(preloader)??
http://schoolofflash.com/blog/2008/04/flash-cs3-tutorial-actionscript-3-preloader/
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void
    var loaded:Number = e.target.bytesLoaded;
    var total:Number = e.target.bytesTotal;
    var pct:Number = loaded/total;
    loader_mc.scaleX = pct;
function onComplete(e:Event):void
    nextFrame();

You would do well to have stop(); commands in both frames, though I believe nextFrame() includes a stop action in its landing procedure.
You might want to consider an alternative approach for a preloader design. Here's a link to another tutorial...

Firefox on 2 independant laptops, not reading website source code correctly, when all correct on Chrome and IE.

Rebuilt my website in Serif WebPlus X6. 
Using Google Chrome or Internet Explorer the site is displayed correctly as is the source code. 
In Firefox 18.0.1 Code is being read wrongly. Cleared Cache and fault still there. Checked in Wifes laptop – still the same fault on her Firefox and okay on Chrome and IE. 
Code should read - span class="Body-C-C9">“Why won’t the doctors listen”?<pre><nowiki>
But firefox is showing - span class="Body-C-C9">â€œWhy wonâ€™t the doctors listenâ€?</nowiki></pre>
There are further similar faults throughout the website. 
Why is Firefox not reading the code correctly? 
Please help.

That is an encoding issue. 
It looks that the page is in UTF-8 Unicode and the server sends this page as a Western or Windows encoding. 
So you see the Unicode characters as the individual bytes that they consist of.
You can inspect this in Tools > Page Info > General and you can also use the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K) to check the response header. 
If the server sends a content type via the HTTP response headers then Firefox doesn't honor a meta tag in the file or otherwise switch the encoding.

Viewing/Editing a live website's code in DWCS4?

Hi,
I would like to open live websites in DW and edit/preview the code.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks very much.
Ty

Hi mhollis55 ,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm unable to select the "Get" option. It is not highlighted like the rest of the available options.
What if I do not have the login information for a site I'd like to open within DW?
I'm basically trying to use DW as a "super advanced text editor", so I can view/edit my code much more faster and efficiently.
Thanks for your help.

Preloader code running every time page loads

Hi everyone,
I purchased a preloader from Adobe Exchange for my flash animation. I've noticed though that even though it works, whenever I refresh the page that the swf file is on, or even navigate away and then come back to the same swf page, the preloader starts operating again as if the file was being downloaded for the first time.
I thought that once a swf was downloaded it didn't need to be done again. The code from the preloader is as follows:
onClipEvent(load){
        //show text Loading
        this.text = true;
        //show reflection
        this.reflection = true;
        //show percents
        this.percents = true;
        //set color
        this.color = "0x003976";
        //set gradient color for reflection
        this.bgColor = "0xffffff";
        //set speed (1-9)
        this.speed = 6;
        //loop infinite, not loading
        this.infinite = false;
        //loaderTarget (if null self swf preload)
        this.contentTarget = null;
        //auto stop timeline
        _parent.stop();
Could it have something to do with the fact that it's an onClipEvent?
Appreciate any advice.

I don't know what you have, but if it is an fla file with the preloader you should be able to edit the preloader any way you like, including removing the ending animation.
I have no familiarity with Adobe Exchange.

Preloader code in wordpress template

I used this code as a preloader on a site a made a few months ago.
I'm trying to use it again in a wordpress template using PHP and it's not working.
The movies loads, but doesn't load the main .swf??
Any ideas why this would work on one site and not another? Is it a PHP conflict?
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("ns_headermovie.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
function done(e:Event):void
removeChildAt(0);
addChild(l);

Hi,
Why you are using this line
removeChildAt(0);
I think to remove preloader.
I suggest you to use :-
removeChild(this.getChildByName('PreloaderName"));
Let me Know how its work

Preloader code will not start next frame when finished

I have this code in frame 1
"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();
In frame 2 the animation/flash application starts.
The preloader works fine BUT when it gets to frame 2 it stops. I cannot get it to start. I think it is a simple issue but I cannot see it
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks
Richard

Websites shows codes rather than page

When I am surfing the web and try to open a certain page and I get what I assume is code. Sometimes I can get the page through refresh and other times I have to go back and click the link again. The sites affected seem to be completely random. The two most common are facebook.com and deviantart.com
I didn't have this problem before. What's going on?!
I'm using 3.6

Can you try opening up Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]? Go to Start -> All Programs -> Mozilla Firefox -> Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). Safe Mode will temporarily disable your add-ons and custom settings, which will help to figure out if the problem is within Firefox or something else about your system or network.
It's also might be worth trying to connect to a different network to see if the problem is your router or connection.

I'm only seeing websites source code show up in Firefox? About 5 percent of the time (or less), websites will display properly, but the rest of the time it's just the source code. This occurs on all sites I try. Whats up?

Not sure why this is happening, I've tried changing a bunch of settings to no avail.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
