as3 preloader

asdastas · 11-24-2009, 09:42 AM

Hey everyone,

I have a problem with a preloader for my flash site. The problem is that almost everything there is called by code, and that the reason for flash to starts view my loading progress from approximately 80% instead of 0%. Even if I drop down into the stage everything included in library the result - starting from ~40%.

I`ve tried to set a separate swf file as a preloader which loads my main swf into it. It seems like this method fails too for some reason.

are you exporting everything in the first frame ?

no, I`ve unckecked the "export in frame 1" field in each of my movieclips/simbols in the library.

btw. With a preloader as a separate file it sometimes loads correctly, but sometimes it doesn`t, even if I don`t touch anything.

How are you checking the load ? Are you running the flash in an html page , in the standalone player , directly from the flash ide ? Have you tried using an http proxy monitor like charles , to throttle the connection speed ?

ermm. I`m using a standart fiture in flash to check it- Simulate download, so it`s not a problem of internet connection actually...
