preloader

make load to 100% before starting movie

[jeremymack]

my code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
mctotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
mcloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
mcpercent = Math.round((mcloaded/mctotal)*100);
display = mcpercent+"%";
progress_mc._xscale = mcpercent;
if (mcloaded == mcpercent) {
_root.play();
}
}

problem is that my movie only loads to 6% before the movie begins to play...so users cannot navigate the site since the rest of the content hasnt loaded yet!

Hi jeremymack

It looks like the problrem lies in the if statement, if any % is loaded - it goes to _root.play(); in this line "if (mcloaded == mcpercent)"

You have to set a hard 100%

if (mcpercent == 100) {
_root.play();
}
}

try that...

should work.

it still starts once 6% is loaded

i have the preloader on the main timeline controlling the movieclips which sit on both the main timeline and nested inside of other clips...

thanks for the suggestion tho

Just out of curiosity, are you testing in an actual browser or in flash (F12)?

If you are testing in a browser, clear the cache.

Might work.

testing in both

tested swf, tested streaming at 56k, and then uploaded and tested it in browser

still playing when loader is at 6%
