Title: Flash Publishing Problems
Hiya!
I am trying to design a flash file to be uploaded onto a website. Im a beginner at Flash, and although the actual animation went ok, now that it has come to getting it ready to be uploaded I am having alot of problems!!
My main problem is that I think the clip is starting before it has fully loaded - I have timed the music into the clip, but the starting music is playing early and out of time. This is my main and most important problem.
Also, because the file is quite big, I wanted to put a loading bar on the start. So i used the actionscript
"ifFrameLoaded (159){
gotoAndPlay (2); // frame 2 has the 25% graphic for the loading screen
}"
and used 5 different graphics for each percentage. But it doesnt seem to be working, as the bars load quickly, and then there is a long wait before the movie plays.
I was actually hoping that using this code for the loading bar would stop the animation delay from happening because I was using the actionscript below to say to only start the animation after the last frame had loaded (= frame 635).
"ifFrameLoaded (635){
gotoAndPlay (5); // frame 5 has the 100% graphic for the loading screen
}"
My last problem is that the replay button (which plays fine in the swf file) is not showing up correctly. It was just a stock one I got through flash. But this problem isnt as important as the others.
If you want to have a look at what I am talking about it is on:

Thanks so much!! I would greatly apreciate any ideas :)

kittiek8 , you should first create a movieclip with "progressBar" as instance name which will contain 5 frames for each of your 5 step progress. In first frame of this movieclip add stop(); so that initally its stopped and show first design of progress bar.
Then in root in frame 2 use the code
Then in root in frame 2 use the code
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
//keep the movie in loop until its loaded completely
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
//file is loaded now
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}else{
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
//move the progress bar by checking the size percentage of loaded file
if(Math.round(getPercent*100) == 25){
progressBar.gotoAndStop(2);
}else if(Math.round(getPercent*100) == 50){
progressBar.gotoAndStop(3);
}else if(Math.round(getPercent*100) == 75){
progressBar.gotoAndStop(4);
}else if(Math.round(getPercent*100) == 100){
progressBar.gotoAndStop(5);
}
