_root.news_mc.createTextField (news_txt,this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0,
200, 600);
with(_root.news_mc.news_txt) {
wordWrap = true;
multiline = true;
html = true;
};
// apply stylesheet

[Flashcoders] percent loaded?
i guess that my code is being deleted on each enter frame. once it loads
completely, the text finally shows up, and then the next frame shows up also.
why doesnt this one frame preloader, second frame website preloader work???
this is really bugging me, that i have to put code on a movieclip, and i cant
do it 100% AS.
function preloadMe() {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
tBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
bLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.round((bLoaded/tBytes)*100);
if (bLoaded tBytes) {
_root.preloader_mc.preloader_txt.text = loading site: + percent;
gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
_root.preloader_mc.removeMovieClip();
_root.preloader_mc.preloader_txt.removeTextField();
gotoAndStop(2)
};
};
};
// -
drawPreloader();
preloadMe();

Re: [Flashcoders] percent loaded?
I have several fonts, and several mp3s totaling about 600k in the library,
set for export on frame 1 with linkage.

Are you using a bunch of components? Do you have large assets with linkage
set to export on Frame1? I don't think you've given us enough information.

There used to be an old problem that might be the cause of your troubles.
When a movie starts, sometimes the getBytesLoaded returns a value before
getBytesTotal has finished. So your condition of bLoaded tBytes is
rendered inadequate. You could add tBytes 8 to make sure that
totalBytes has actually loaded something...
Cheers,
Kevin

[Flashcoders] preloader issue
I am really trying to have my preloader work, with a site that is 100% AS. the
entire site resides either in classes or as on the first frame. there has got
to be some way to preload a site, with a single function that is entirely
dynamic. this is what i have, but it will not even appear on the screen. no
errors .. ideas would be great
// -
// preloader
function preloadMe() {
// stop movie from playing
//stop();
// reference to _root
ref = _root;
// create the preloader mc
ref.createEmptyMovieClip(preloader_mc, ref.getNextHighestDepth() );
// create the preloader mc progress text
ref.preloader_mc.createTextField(preloader_txt, ref.getNextHighestDepth, 0,
0, 200, 10);
with (ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt) {
embedFonts = true;
selectable = false;
setNewTextFormat(format1_fmt);
text = LOADING SITE: 00
};
// place preloader text in center of stage
ref.preloader_mc._x = (Stage.width/2) -
(ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt._width/2);
ref.preloader_mc._y = (Stage.height/2) -
(ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt._height/2);
ref.onEnterFrame = function() {
tBytes = ref.getBytesTotal();
bLoaded = ref.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.round((bLoaded/tBytes)*100);
// keep two places if percent is under 10, ie: 03
if (percent 10) {
percentTxt = LOADING SITE: 0 + percent;
} else {
percentTxt = LOADING SITE: + percent;
}
// if this movie is not fully loaded, then display percent loaded
if (bLoaded tBytes) {
ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt.text = percentTxt;
// otherwise, delete the preloader_mc, and the textField, then play movie
} else {
ref.preloader_mc.removeMovieClip();
ref.preloader_mc.preloader_txt.removeTextField();
play();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
};
};

[Flashcoders] duplicateMovieClip() ?
hmm ...
// begin code
function alot(max) {
var basename:String = circle_mc;
for(var i = 0; i max; i++) {
_root.it_mc.duplicateMovieClip(basename+i, this.getNextHighestDepth() );
_root[basename+i]._x = 100 + i*5;
_root[basename+i]._y = 100 + i*5;
}
}
the trace returns 0. why are my dynamically duplicated movieclips not showing
up on the stage???
