An actionscript 3.0 preloader using percentage-based animation to create the loading bar.

You can drag ‘n’ drop this into an existing Flash file or load external SWFs, JPGs, GIFs, etc. into this preloader.

@wildwise: Agreed. It’s where I started. It’s a good way to get comfortable with a new way of coding. :)

Very well documented, shame more of the flashden files couldn’t be as detailed in their documentation.

Unfortunately I am unable to get the preloader to work. I have replaced the generic .swf filename with mine, right in the same directory. After the preloader finishes, the new .swf is only showing halfway on the screen. Seems that the preloader.swf file tries to load the other external.swf file in it’s own screen but it’s skewed.

Any help would be appreciated.

@kaotik78: go ahead and email me at ixelhavenllc@gmail.com">pixelhavenllc@gmail.com with what you’ve got in the onComplete function and I’ll try to help you out.

Thanks for purchasing!

picked up this little beauty but had a few problems getting it to work correctly, although it did work out of the box, just not quite how i wanted it. i received excellent support and even got a lesson on what I was doing wrong, in a friendly and courteous manner. I will definitely keep a lookout for future files from josh!

Hi, I’ve got the preloader loading a swf into my timeline, but the removeChild(preload) doesn’t seem to be removing the preloader off the display. The gotoAndPlay() in the next line is working.

My plan was to have a nav button programmed to goto a specific frame label on the main timeline. In a keyframe at the same spot I’ve put the preloader movieclip. So, the timeline stops at the frame label, loads the swf and then continues on, but leaves the “loaded 100%” in view.

Have I applied your preloader incorrectly?

I have replied to your email jbaker9000.

You might try putting a removeChild(loadingText) after the removeChild(preload). It sounds like it doesn’t know to get rid of the text as well before continuing. I’ll have to take a look at that and see if I can’t fix that bug.

Thanks for purchasing! Hope that works for you.

@laurelaferrerie: I don’t believe so. It currently loads external SWFs mainly, so it might technically work if you’re loading your .flv into a swf, but I’ve not tested that functionality.

Hello. I am loading an external .swf file. The issue is that the swf file shows up while the preloader is still loading on top of it. How can I get the preloader to load and then have the swf start after it is fully loaded?

Thanks.

@nagyventi: I’d try adding a stop(); to the first frame of your external SWF . The preloader should be telling the external SWF when to start, not the other way around. Without seeing the external SWF ’s FLA it’s hard to say though.

Hi,

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndStop not found on flash.display.AVM1Movie and there is no default value. at 2008_preloader_fla::_preloader_1/onComplete()

Can only seem to reproduce this error in FireFox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5 .1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16) not IE.

Seems to go away when I comment out

“imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);”

but after loading, you can still see the loading bar in the background of the targeted flash movie that was pre-loaded.

@eleannand: I’ll need some more details. I’m not sure what that error message would mean in the context of the preloader. I’m guessing the onComplete function will need to be modified if you’re loading all your content inline instead of from an external file. Hit me up in email if you’d like.

@kaotik78: Are you trying to preload a video? Removing the event listener for Event.COMPLETE would mean it never calls the onComplete function and thus your content doesn’t do anything after it’s loaded. The function removes all the preloader elements and loads the content in it’s place. At least that’s the idea. Email me and we can figure out how to get you up and running if you need.

hey there! okay, this might like a total noob question. I’m trying to load my swf file externally since my movie is originally a AS2 document. i was wondering how you can separate the circle point that looks like a double cross and prevent it from moving when I try and move the preloader graphic. when i try and position the preloader into the center of a separate fla file, the content on my movie is off center because the the double cross point moves along with the preloader.

Thanks!
