Multiple Preloader with x movies (single and multiple bps and percentage)



Multiple Preloader with x movies (single and multiple bps and percentage)
Simply put all your movies to load and the corresponding 
targets/levels in the array moviearray. Remember: If you 
don't want the loaded clips to start immediatly after beeing 
loaded, you have to place a stop action in the first frame 
of the movie.

frame 1: 
//provide a list with all your movies to load and the targets/levels to load into
moviearray = new Array("movie1.swf","target1","movie2.swf","_level2","movie3.swf","_level99");
//set the index of the first movie to load
actMovieIdx = 0;
//set the sum of all movies by hand
allTotBytes = 122334;
//reset actual loaded Bytes
allActBytes = 0;
//set the starttime for loading all the movies
allStarttime = getTimer();



frame 2:
// get the next moviename and target/level
moviename = moviearray[actMovieIdx++];
movietarget = moviearray[actMovieIdx++];

// load the given movie
loadMovie(moviename, movietarget);

// remember the time where we started loading to calculate the bytes per second
starttime = getTimer();


frame 3:
//get the actual loaded bytes
actBytes = eval(movietarget).getBytesLoaded() || 0;
// get the total bytes to load
totBytes = eval(movietarget).getBytesTotal() || 100;
// calculate the percentage loaded
percent  = Math.round(actBytes * 100 / totBytes);
// calculate the percentage loaded of all movies
allPercent = (allActBytes  + actBytes ) * 100 / allTotBytes;
// calculate bytes per second loaded
bps = Math.floor(actBytes * 1000 / (getTimer() - starttime));
// calculate bytes per second of all movies loaded
allBps = Math.floor((allActBytes + actBytes) * 1000 / (getTimer() - allStarttime));


frame 4:

if( totBytes - actBytes > 10){//more bytes available, keep on loading
	// calculate total bytes loaded so far		
	allActBytes += actBytes;	
	gotoAndPlay(3);
} else if(actMovieIdx < moviearray.length){//if we got more movies to load	
	gotoAndPlay(2);	
}

frame 5:
// ready, go - here starts your movie

Hi bokel! Thanks for the time-saving examples. Just one thought
though. In frame 4, it should be:

if( totBytes - actBytes > 10){
	gotoAndPlay(3);
} else if(actMovieIdx < moviearray.length){
	allActBytes += actBytes;	
	gotoAndPlay(2);	
}

The line allActBytes += actBytes is in the wrong if clause.
Also, any reason why you aren't rounding up allPercent?
Cheers!

hi friend,
     i want some loading files,i want to load multiple movies at a time,i will clearly explain.

Dear Friend,
       I have tried the method given by you. But I am loading the external file in a movieclip which is inside another. So the load command is like the following 
loadMovie ("Loading1.swf", "movie/Dummy");
So my script in frame 3 is like this :

//get the actual loaded bytes
actBytes = eval("movie/Dummy").getBytesLoaded();
// get the total bytes to load
totBytes = eval("movie/Dummy"+".getBytesTotal()");
// calculate the percentage loaded
percent  = Math.round(actBytes * 100 / totBytes);
// calculate the percentage loaded of all movies
allPercent = actBytes * 100 / totBytes;

But this doesnot read th erequired actBytes and totBytes properly.

Please help me.

Thanks
Rashmi

The sintax should be ( "myswf.swf", _root.movie.dummmy)
NOT
_root.movie/dummmy

I have an external FLV that I am in need of a preloader for.
Any suggestions?  I can't seem to get any where on this matter.

MXPro is my program.  

//The code to play back the flv dynamicaly.....


// Create a NetConnection object:
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
//Create a local streaming connection
netConn.connect(null);
// Create a Net Stream object and define an onStatus Frunction:
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
// Set the buffer time:
netStream.setBufferTime(5);
//Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video Object:
my_video.attachVideo(netStream);
//begin playing flv
netStream.play("newVideoFile1.flv");


Can ayone help me?
