Re: [Flashcoders] Export frame option disabled
Mike, that's untrue. Components don't need to be loaded in first frame. I am writing a program with a lot of components. In my Actionscript settings, I have the Export frame for classes set to 3. For all my components Export in first frame is unchecked, as well as all my MovieClip which need to be exported to Actionscript. Then I put all my components and MovieClip which will be created by Actionscript in the fourth frame (on the stage but out of view). These are the components I use in this movie: Accordion, Alert, Button, Checkbox, Combobox, Label, List, NumericStepper, RadioButton, TextArea, TextInput, Tree, Window, and some home made components. But I am sure it will work with all of them.

RE: [Flashcoders] Export frame option disabled
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/000104.html Check out the preloading. You could also create a shell and preload in that swf. Are you basing the percentage on the frames loaded (100 * _framesloaded / _totalframes) or bytes loaded (100 * getBytesLoaded() / getBytesTotal())? You should be doing the latter.

Here is an example of the preloader used placed on the first frame of
the movie.
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var loaded:Number = this.getBytesLoaded();
var total:Number = this.getBytesTotal();
var percent:Number = Math.floor((loaded/total)*100);
load_txt.text = Loading... +percent+%;
loadBar._xscale = percent;
if (percent == 100){
gotoAndPlay(2);
delete this.onEnterFrame;

Hey everyone,
Im creating a preloader and I notice that it doesnt start until about
90% done loading the file. I believe this is because my ui components
are exported to the first frame. I tried unchecking export to first
frame with no difference. I also tried changing the actionscript
setting to export it to frame 2 rather than 1, but it is unavailable to
change (the field is disabled). Am I missing something here? ;) Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Export frame option disabled
two things you can do to remedy this problem: 1.pay attention to the bandwitdth profiler when you test your movie.it sounds like the bulk of your movie is being loaded in the first frame. make sure that the only thing on the timeline in the frame or frames where the preloader works is the preloader. make sure classes are set to export in a frame after the preloader. also if you have assets in the library set to export for actionscript, by default, they load in the first frame. either change that or store them off stage after the first couple of frames. 2. use a stub swf. you can make a very lightweight stub swf that contains only the preloader and a blank movie clip in which to load your main movie.
