kcomponents

[Pellinore]

Hi Wilbert,

I apologise if you’ve been asked this before but is there a way of using the components with the built-in KM pre-loader without the ‘kcomponents swf not found’ warning notice briefly appearing?

All the best, Si.

The warning message is displayed if two seconds after it starts loading kcomponents.swf the getbytesloaded value still is -1.

The only solution would be a better kcomponents loader or embedding you own kcomponents loader inside the preloader.

If Bob agrees, I'll post the current kcomponents loader code so anyone can make suggestions for improving it.

Thanx for the additional info.

Si.

Feel free to post the code, Wilbert.

This is the current kcomponents loader code (first frame) if (typeof (kobject) != "undefined") {
kccontainer.removemovieclip();
gotoandplay (3);
} else if (kccontainer._name != "kccontainer") {
kct = gettimer();
createemptymovieclip("kccontainer", 777);
kccontainer.loadmovie("kcomponents.swf");
} else if (kccontainer.getbytestotal() == -1 && gettimer()-kct > 2000) {
kccontainer.createtextfield("warning", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
kccontainer.warning.autosize = true;
kccontainer.warning.background = true;
kccontainer.warning.text = "kcomponents.swf not found";
}
The second frame contains a goto frame 2 and the third frame is where to go once the kcomponents have been loaded. I'm checking for kobject since that is initialized when the kcomponents code is executed.

If someone has suggestions to improve the code feel free to share them.
