I have a Flex app., sometimes when you view it, its exactly as expected. Yet sometimes when you view the page it is just blank for like a good minute with no progress bar or any indication to wait. The progress bar is supposed to be automatic in flex. I would like to fix this because I am afraid it is causing us to lose many sales. If it...
Has anyone successfully implemented a custom preloader in Flex 4? In my experience, when I specify a custom preloader using the preloader="com.foo.MyPreloader" in the Application tag, the preloader does not display until the SWF is completely downloaded, defeating the purpose of the preloader! Perhaps this is a bug in the still-beta Flex...
So the easiest way to preload in as3 would be to use an external .swf to load the main .swf. Since I will be distributing my game around the internet I can only use one .swf. What would be the best way to do this? Can I still use the external method but somehow combine the finished product into one .swf? ...
So I've been wondering this for a while, I'm currently building a website which is very image oriented. What do people think of preloading images? How do they do it? (Javascript versus display:none css?). As users what do you think of it? Does the speed gained while using the website justify the extra time you have to spend waiting for...
I've built quite a large old school HTML image map. When you mouseover an area tag, another image is loaded that replaces the entire map. In all there are 30 some mouseover images and to avoid the delay in loading I've preloaded them using jQuery. Firebug Net panel shows all images are being loaded ok at pageload (no mouseover triggered...
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...
I have a sequence of images needed to display in a short time (PNG sequence). There are totally 31 PNGs in total, each with file size about 45KB. I have already loaded them with the following codes: imgArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; for(int i = 0; i <= 30; i++) { NSString * filename = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"img_000%.2d...

Page in question: http://phwsinc.com/our-work/one-rincon-hill.asp In IE6-8, when you click the left-most thumbnail in the gallery, the image never loads.

This is the JavaScript i'm using: $('#ajax-load').ajaxStart(function() { $(this).show(); }).ajaxStop(function() { $(this).hide();})...
What I'm after is creating a page that has a preloading bar (similar to a flash one) that loads the cache of the website before redirecting to them to the home page with the entire website loaded, so it runs smoothly! ...
Here's the situation: I'm working on a site where the navigation is located on the bottom of the page on the home page, but on the top of the page for all other pages. I've set up some jQuery so that when a link is clicked to any of the subpages, the navigation will slide up to the position is is located on all other pages prior to tran...
hey guys, I have a photo gallery page hosted on a CMS (Squarespace) which has some of it's own scripts which load the thumbnails asynchronously. The actual large images however are not preloaded, so I decided to add my own script into the mix to just make the browser load those larger images into the cache in the background, like this:...
My CMS project has a stylish web 2.0 login screen that fades over the screen using javascript. How come that even though I have made 120% sure that images are preloaded (I used the resource monitor in development tools) they still take a second to show up when my login screen appears. It completely destroys the fanciness! Take a look: h...

Okay, so I'm calling images from a sprite for my image slider. What happens is that when a page is loaded, all slideshow images are displayed horizontaly thus making it appear bugged. A solution we worked out was to set images to preload. It works fine in Firefox, but in IE it appears bugged. Here are the two lines of code that matter (w...
I saw a PPT from steve souders about loading images before the css for a similar situation that i need.... but im not clear on what the actual code is to do this. I assume he loaded something before the css and in his ppt he says this new Image().src = "http://webcelerity.com/blog/wp-content/themes/carrington-blog-faster/images/sprite....
