Hi, I am working with the latest version of the Coda Slider http://www.ndoherty.biz/2007/10/coda-slider-11/ and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me on how to handle the preloader. The way I have the site built now, the content within the slider pops open modal windows. I want the page to refresh when the modal box is clos...
I'm putting a SWF file into an HTML page in GoLive, and even though all my code and SWF file are set to a blue background, there is a quick second during the loading of each page where my entire SWF document is completely white on top of the blue HTML background. I don't know if this is making sense, but check out www.eloquentcreative.co...
Hi guys, I'm working on a high-end flash site (AS3) with lots of video, hi-res graphics, and sound effects; needless to say, the initial preloader's got a lot of work to do (just to get the site to a point where additional assets can be loaded on the fly as needed). Because it'll be displayed for a while on most connection speeds, it's...

all i need is a preloader to run and when it detects the swf is loaded it will stop and the map.swf will start to run. I have trawled the net for weeks with no luck. I have a massive 776kb flash map. I need a preloader to run prior to this map but it need to be a preloader independant of the map.swf. Please does anyone have any ideas...
Hi, I'm trying to set up a preloader to show the load progress of the main swf, which has all of it's assets embedded. I found the factory class method as described on bit-101, but no load progress ever seems to show. The swf loads fine, but the bytesLoaded is always equal to bytesTotal and therefore the preloader is never called. This...
Hi, I am aware of ways I can preload images (and css files) using hidden embedded tags/includes, css styles and javascript but these all rely on the need to embed an extra tag or css rule to load each of these files and for each new image I must remember to add in another preload rule. What I am looking for and can't seem to find anywh...
I've worked on some recent projects where I load many swfs and other assets in a main site preloader, then access these items later (from other classes, not within the preloader) with something like this: mc = BulkLoader.getLoader("site").getMovieClip("gallery.swf"); But during development, I cannot test anything that makes calls like...

I am creating a Flash site for a client who wants to display many (about 15) fairly hi-res photos as well as a video. I am using the Video class to display and control the video, and the Loader class to load the photos. I preload them from an XML file up front, while "loading..." is displayed. The video plays immediately after the loade...
Is there a simple way to have a preloader that just traces the percentage and then goes on to the main game? Just as simple as possible, so that I can add in the progress bar/logo animation after. I tried the thing at mindless-labs, but its really complicated, it seems kind of hackerish, I don't really understand what it's doing and it u...
I was asked to add a preloader to a rather messily constructed AS2 website. I'm using the preloader-in-the-first-frame approach--there are tons of references to _root throughout the site so I can't load the main site externally as another swf. My approach just involved creating a new frame at the beginning of the timeline, bumping all ...
Hello al, I have made a post yesterday (late in the evening), but that one wasn't very clear to you, so I hope this will be better. I have found a code which I'd like to use as a preloader for my website. It seems to work, but the problem is that the complete website is still visible. The maker of this script claims that the preloader ...

Hi there! First post here. I have a xml video background and need to add a preloader before the video is buffering. The problem is that I am loading the video from xml file and from what I've tried the preloader works for the swf file but not for f4v video loaded externally. Any thoughts? You can check the preview here: http://www.free...
