Trouble with external preloader
April 07, 2009 10:42PM
I saw the post by Negush but am still having issues because I am clueless when it comes to actionscript and technical parts of flash in general. I need a preloader on a file I am using, but I cant get many preloaders I have tried to function properly.

I resorted to purchasing this preloader software:

[www.flashkicker.com]

Which works well for me - however, on my flasheff files it is popping up the flasheff logo everytime i use a flasheff animation in my file. Any clues on how to fix this?

Any help would be much appreciated - I've tried for days now.

Dont know if this helps but I tired to get Flaskkicker to work with Flex and it didnt work either. I used this method to preload a large Flex file using FETGow added to a small .fla file which would load the larger FLex movie.

import com.jumpeye.Events.FLASHEFFEvents;

flashEff.addEventListener(FLASHEFFEvents.TRANSITION_END,transitionEndHandler);

var request : URLRequest = new URLRequest ("YOUR_FLASH_MOVIE.swf"); // File path is relative to this preloader
var loader : Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE,loadComplete);
loader.load (request);
this.addChild (loader);

function loadComplete(event:Event):void
{
flashEff.removeEffect ();
}




function transitionEndHandler (evtObj : FLASHEFFEvents): void
{
flashEff.show ();
}

Im just a rookie AS3 programmer so veterans show some mercy.
