Interesting Problem

programming flash
1

Hey Everyone,

I have been doing flash for quite some time now and never run into something like this until today. I have created a preloader and have run into a problem where in some (not all) of my flash files it will either not load at all (i.e. not do anything until the whole movie has loaded then just play the movie like normal), or it will show up anywhere from around 50ish% - 99% and then finish from there. Where as in other movies it will do exactly what it was meant to do.

Anyone have any idea what could be going on? I have made many preloaders before, for many different projects and never run into this.

Here is a watered down version (the basics) of the code I am using. I am sure there is nothing wrong with it as it is working in some of my flash, but not all…

stop();

onEnterFrame = function(){
    var loaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
    var total = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
    var pcntLoaded = (loaded/total);

    preloader.progress._width = pcntLoaded*250;
    
    loading.text = "Loading. Please wait.";
    loadedPcnt.text = Math.round(pcntLoaded*100)+"%";
    
    if(loaded == total){
        delete onEnterFrame;

        loadedPcnt._visible = false;
        loading._visible = false;

        gotoAndStop(2);

    };
};

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help explain what is going on.
