Hi everyone,
I am new to flash, and I created a flash Slideshow with the help of this site only, but the preloading bar on grey background is coming before showing next image, is annoying.
I want preloading bar on the background image, not on the grey background.
Can anyone tell me how it can be done.
here is the code:
delay = 6000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = “file not loaded!”;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);
// ///////////////////////////////////
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
prevImage();
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
nextImage();
}
};
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
};
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextImage();
};
// ///////////////////////////////////
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
}
}
};
var myInterval;
function nextImage() {
p++;
p %= image.length;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
clearInterval(myInterval);
if (playing) {
slideshow();
}
}
}
function prevImage() {
clearInterval(myInterval);
if (playing) {
slideshow();
}
if (p>0) {
p–;
} else {
p = image.length-1;
}
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
clearInterval(myInterval);
if (playing) {
slideshow();
}
}
}
function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" of "+total;
}
function slideshow() {
myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, delay);
function pause_slideshow() {
clearInterval(myInterval);
nextImage();
}
}
stop.tt.text = “STOP”;
play.tt.text=“PLAY”
playing = true
play.onPress = function(){
playing = true
nextImage()
}
play.onRelease =play.onReleaseOutside= function(){
this.gotoAndStop("_disabled")
this.enabled = false
}
stop.onPress = function(){
playing = false
play.enabled = true
clearInterval(myInterval)
}
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
