Swf preloader problems [renamed]

1

Hello, everyone!

I’ve been struggling with this for quite some time now, and desperately need some help…please. I’m simply trying to have a preloader bar (which is it’s own .swf) load an external .swf, and then ACTUALLY show how much it’s loaded with the bar! Here’s my problems:

(1) When previewing the preloader in Flash, the preloader just goes straight to 100%, then loads the movie (even when enabling “show streaming”)

(2) When I upload the file, it doesn’t come up with the preloader, but rather just a white screen (which loads normally).

So here’s my actionscript that I have on the first and only keyframe of my preloader .swf:

stop();
**bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded(“Main Page.swf”)); **
**bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal(“Main Page.swf”)); **
**getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total; **
**this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100); **
**if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) { **
**this.loadMovie(“Main Page.swf”); **
}

Can someone at least steer me in the right direction? Thank you very much!

Okay, so I changed out my actionscript, and it seems to be working decently, however, the bar now grows, then jumps to its full length randomly. It should just grow, and stay at its position until it grows some more. Here’s the actionscript I have on my preloader bar movieclip:

onClipEvent (load) {
 loadMovieNum("site.swf", 1);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
  Total = Math.floor(_level1.getBytesTotal()/100)+(_root.getBytesTotal()/100);
 Loaded = Math.floor(_level1.getBytesLoaded()/100)+(_root.getBytesLoaded()/1000);
 Percent = Math.floor((Loaded/Total)*100);
 setProperty(_root.bar, _xscale, Percent);
 if (Percent == 100) {
  _level1.gotoAndPlay("One");
 }
}

If someone could just tell me how to fix this jumping problem, I’ll be set. :wink: Thanks again in advance!

Don’t crosspost, I’ve deleted your thread in the AS forum :cool:

In the first frame:

stop();
loadMovieNum("site.swf", 1);
_root.bar._xscale =0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	var total = _level1.getBytesTotal()+this.getBytesTotal();
	var loaded = _level1.getBytesLoaded()+this.getBytesLoaded();
	var percent = Math.floor((loaded/total)*100);
	_root.bar._xscale = percent;
	if (_level1._width) {
		_level1.gotoAndPlay("One");
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
	}
};

Shadow are you a female??

Haha! No, it was a joke. I was just very thankful. Just a joke… By the way, the preloader works now, but when it’s done loading, it loads a blank page, as if it didn’t load the entire movie all of the way. Go to www.sonicallstars.net, and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Both of my .fla’s are 2 big sorry. But if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, because I would like to get this figured out A.S.A.P. Thanks. I appreciate your help this far.

Without seeing your fla’s it’s hard to say what’s wrong, the code worked over here. Can’t you upload them to your server?

Yeah, Scotty. I’ll have to do that later on tomorrow. Check back, if you could, for an update. Thanks so much 4 your help. Also, is there a way I can send you the file privately so that no one tries to steal this file or anything?
