Preloader : Flash 7 on AS 2

[koolbabs2000]

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

[silentweed]

try

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:

_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

[koolbabs2000]

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 ?

[deepakflash]

make the condition...

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

[koolbabs2000]

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

[deepakflash]

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.

[deepakflash]

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

[koolbabs2000]

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?

[koolbabs2000]

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
