Lil Preloader help

[DC5 Master]

so you got the preloader to display?

[Treylok]

Yeah, it seemed to work fine.

[DC5 Master]

and old newbie, the whole:
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
tellTarget (_root.loader) {
gotoAndStop (_root.frame);
}
is about the only thing I like about the whole script because it plays the movie to correlate with percent downloaded. Thanks a bunch for the info

Treylok, thanks a bunch man. Did the preloader work before you made those changes? or did it work after

then what the heck is with my publish settings... I really haven't even touched em

[Treylok]

Not sure, go to:

http://www.vanderweb.com/jeff/debug.html

to see if it works for you.

Another thing, make sure to clear your cache when you re-view this stuff on the web

I will take the stuff off of the server after you look at it.

[oldnewbie]

Treylok... If your's work, upload it somewhere and do give us a link so we can check it out as I have done!

[DC5 Master]

old newbie, did you just publish mine or tweak it?

[Treylok]

I just published yours with the changes that I told you to make i.e

&&loadedbytes >0

and

gotoAndStop(2)


It works right?

[oldnewbie]

Tweaked it!

[DC5 Master]

btw, I have flash MX and my publish settings are:

Under Formats Tab:
I have flash and html checked.

Under Flash Tab:

I made all the changes you said and it still doesn't work...

loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes=Math.ceil (loadedbytes/1000);
totalkbytes=Math.ceil(totalbytes/1000);
if(loadedbytes==totalbytes && loadedbytes > 0){
nextScene();
}
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
tellTarget (_root.loader) {
gotoAndStop (_root.frame);
}

____________________________________________
gotoAndPlay (2);

[oldnewbie]

Your tellTarget bit is still your problem!

Add a visual marker on frame 96 to 100 in your scene 2, and test your movie. Does it stop on a marked frame?

[Treylok]

Ok this is messed up.

when i go to it initially it wont work, but then if i go to

Tools - internet options

then click delete files, and make sure delete offline content is checked.

Then hit refresh and it will work. It makes no sense.

[DC5 Master]

maybe it's cuz you guys used html...

[oldnewbie]

Here's a direct link!

Of course, to see the preloader in action, you do have to clear your cache each time!

[Treylok]

Yeah, you definately want to publishg your movie and get the html, then upload html and .swf file. That might have been the problem all along.

[Treylok]

oldnewbie

the .swf link does not work the first time you view it. you have to clear the cache and hit refresh

[oldnewbie]

N'importe quoi! Craziness!

[oldnewbie]

What the f... Are you talking about?
