images.jpg preloader????

[bafe.nu]

Hello folks,

How do I preload an image??
I´m loading a jpg to my MC dummy, that works fine, but i whant a preloader on it - how do I do that??

[Squareball2]

on the dummy MC

onClipEvent(data)
{
  bl = this.getBytesLoaded();
  bt = this.getBytesTotal();
  perc = bl / bt * 100;
  _root.percentText.text = perc;
}

Something like that should work

OK -I will try it now, get back to you soon on how it turned out!

Squareball2 - there is someting that I dont understand, were do I put my textfeilds so I can see how much that is loaded???

Can you please tell me more about were too put the actionscript and were too put the txtfields.

I have a MC called "dummy" on the timeline and som buttons on the timeline that tells:

on (release) {
loadMovie("bild.jpg", "dummy");
}

That works but the preloading script that I put on the dummyMC´s the timeline doesnt work - does it not need a loop or something?? I know that you script is correct, it´s just put on the rong place I think.

Please help me out here - im stucked!! If you have time I really would appreciate if you can send me a fla and show me how too put it together. My mailadress is veenhuis@bredband.net

Thanks,
Spike

Ok
i'm trying to get time to make this FLA but right now it's not happening..

[Squareball2]

Oh here is an easy way out (until I translate Madokan's tutorial)

Use the progress bar.

Drag the progress bar onto the stage and tell it to monitor dummy.

Creating an image preloader dynamically:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("imageholder",1)
imageholder.loadMovie("myimage.jpg")
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
    if(imageholder.getBytesLoaded() == imageholder.getBytesTotal()){
        //image is loaded
        this.onEnterFrame=null
        //dos omething to the now fully loaded image
        var c=new Color(imageholder)
        c.setTransform({ra:33,ga:44,ba:55})
    }
}

unfortuneatley any methods/properties/objects you place inside of a movieclip are deleted when the loadMovie method is called. Therefore you have to check the status of the image from another timeline where the methods and properties arent deleted.

This isn't the best method but it works

This weekend I'll translate Madokan's code for every one ok

My code isn't the best way to do it.. Madokan's code is awesome.

[bafe.nu]

Thank you very much Squareball2!!

With this code I can work I think.

Looking forward too see you translate of Madokan's code.
Please let me know.
