Preloader : Flash 7 on AS 2

I got a Preloader with the following action on it -

It used to work fine with Flash 6 on AS1.

Now when i try to publish it in Flash 7 on AS 2.

It does not work. Any idea how to get it working guys ?

Thanks in advance !


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = Math.round(percent);
PP = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

Im still using Flash Mx2004. Please can anybody tell me a way to get around this problem

try

Code:

---

---

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
bytesLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal = _root.getBytesTotal();

percent = Math.round((bytesLoaded/bytesTotal)*100);

per = percent+"%";
loadBar._width = percent;

if (percent>=100)
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

};

Thanks for Replying !

Let me check if this works !

Well Im still not able to get this to work ! Any ideas guys ?

Remove the code that you had before and write this code on the first frame of your main timeline:

PHP Code:

---

_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
var loaded=Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)
PP.text = loaded+"%";// this line will work if 'PP' textbox is in your main timeline... 
//...if you have PP texbox inside a movieclip then write...
//mc_instanceName.PP.text=loaded+"%"
loadBar._width = loaded;// Again, this line will work if loadBar movieclip is in your main timeline...
//... if you have it inside a movieclip then write...
//mc_instanceName.loadBar._width = loaded
if (loaded==100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}} 


---

Note that, PP has to be the textbox 'instance name' and not a 'var' name

I pasted this code -
=============================
stop();
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
var loaded=Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)
trace(_root.getBytesLoaded());
trace(_root.getBytesTotal());
trace(loaded);
PreLoader.PP.text = loaded+"%";
PreLoader.loadBar._width = loaded;
if (loaded>99) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//gotoAndPlay(2);
}}
==============================

Looking at the Traces -

I can see -

130871
130871
25
130871
130871
25
130871
130871
25
130871
130871
25

-------------------------------

So the Bytes Loaded and Bytes Total is the same and hence the code is not working ! Anyway to get over this ?

make the condition...

Code:

---

if(_root.getBytesLoaded()==_root.getBytesTotal()){
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("complete")
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

---

No I dont think the Preloader is working.
Its not updating properly.
Do you have any Preloader ?

Thats really strange. I cant believe that your swf failed to get into that 'IF condition'. Impossible
Did you upload and check??

I think it has to be some other kind of silly error which you might have forgotten to notice.

...And btw, is this your 'main' swf or 'child' swf?
This preloading code will not work on a child swf

stop();
onEnterFrame=function(){
var a = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var b = _root.getBytesTotal();
trace(a);
trace(b);
var load = (a/b);
//trace(_root.getBytesLoaded());
//trace(_root.getBytesTotal());
trace(load);
loaded = Math.round(load*100);
PreLoader.PP.text = loaded+"%";
PreLoader.loadBar._width = loaded;
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("complete");
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}

Althoug this works - i think its wrong.

Coz the trace shows
trace(_root.getBytesLoaded());853779
trace(_root.getBytesTotal()); 853779

at the first instance itself

Separately if i do - it shows
(_root.getBytesLoaded()); 130233

(_root.getBytesTotal()); 853881

Upload and test your preloader. I cant find anything wrong with the preloader code given to you.

Btw, this preloading code will not work if you are using it on a child swf. So, is this a 'main' swf or 'child' swf?

This is Main swf - so that is not a problem really. Will upload and check it. Thanks a lot for your time and help ! Have fun :)
