OK Im sure this is a bug with the loader class. I've got a bit closer thanks to some help from Steve from Featurecreep Ltd.
It seems to be down to firefox's (Browser.cache.disk.enable) 'default' setting. As if you change this to 'user set' it works fine. Instructions: In firefox url bar type: about:config Then filer under the word 'cache' to find the setting: Browser.cache.disk.enable Double click this settings so it changes to 'userset' value 'false' then go back to my link: http://www.darka.co.uk/MB_test/ And you'll see it works fine. Does anyone know a solution to this issue. Im sure its down to the loaderclass, as surely its not a firefox issue as id have seen this all over the web Cheers, Dom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Weekes Sent: 04 November 2005 11:33 To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Bokel's LoaderClass cache issue with Firefox - HELP! Ah yeah, I see the problem, and it's the same on my firefox 1.07, so that clearly aint the issue. I don't use the bokel class for preloading, so hopefully there are enough people on the list who do, and have experience of it with firefox...

Hi Nick, 1.06 firefox Ive made the profile.swf bigger in file size now just so you can see if the preloading is working or not and if you get that horrible re-preload Cheers, Dom The code im using for preloading at the moment is: (ignore all the dirty if statements, im going to be animating the load bar supersmooth) bar_mc.onLoadProgress = function(loaderObj) { this._xscale = loaderObj.getPercent(); }; myListener_obj = new Object(); bar_mc.onLoadStart = function(loaderObj) { trace("Loading of "+loaderObj.getTarget()+" has started"); }; myListener_obj.onLoadProgress = function(loaderObj) { trace("Percentage: "+loaderObj.getPercent()); if (loaderObj.getPercent()<1) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 10, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>10) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 20, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>20) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 40, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>30) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 60, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>40) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 80, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>50) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 100, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>60) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 120, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>70) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 140, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>80) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 150, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } if (loaderObj.getPercent()>90) { _root.tweener.tween("_width", 160, 2.5, "easeOutBounce", 0, Preloader); } }; bar_mc.onLoadComplete = function(success, loaderObj) { trace("Loading of "+loaderObj.getTarget()+" is completed"); _root.tweener.tween("_width", 172, 1.5, "easeOutSine", 0, Continue); function Continue() { nextFrame(); } }; myLoader = new com.qlod.LoaderClass(); myLoader.addListener(bar_mc); myLoader.observe(this); myLoader.load("movie_mc", "profile/profile.swf", myListener_obj); myLoader.load("movie_mc", "reviews/reviews.swf", myListener_obj); stop(); then on the buttons im using: // 1. Load Profile function LoadProfile() { trace("Load Profile"); EnableNav(); loadMovie("profile/profile.swf", "movie_mc"); } // 2. Load Reviews function LoadReviews() { trace("Load Reviews"); EnableNav(); loadMovie("reviews/reviews.swf", "movie_mc"); } Cheers, Dom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Weekes Sent: 04 November 2005 10:49 To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Bokel's LoaderClass cache issue with Firefox - HELP! Dom, You got seperate preloaders for each section? As on my PC (XP SP2) I don't see any difference in behaviour between IE and Firefox...So I can't tell if the movies you are preloading are preloaded or not, as there is only a delay of like 1 second before the content starts appearing. So im guessing it may be a firefox issue on your machine? What version?

Hi Steve Sorry forgot to mention that yes ive also checked that too. The work is very heavily in development so ignore the work in progress. http://www.darka.co.uk/MB_test/default.asp when the interface loads, it also preloads the profile.swf and review.swf which work fine however when selecting them from the buttons on the left (ignore menus and contact) that is when firefox insist to reload them from scratch again. Man this is driving me insane.

(which is how > it should be) Have you got caching turned off in Firefox? Seems like a simply enough question, but we had memory caching (not just hd caching) turned off one one of our machines here that caused us some real headaches with swf preloading. Check the relevant settings in about:config, quit and restart the browser. Hope this helps!
