heres the associated code..

var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.transformingscotland.com/wp-content/themes/Amirra/Amirra/images/portal11.swf");

var preLoader:Loader = new Loader();

preLoader.load(myRequest);

preLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,showProgress );

preLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showContent);

function showProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {

    var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;

}

function showContent(event:Event):void

{

    addChild(preLoader);

ps i only get the error when using the safari web browser, when clicking another link to move away from the page

when i use internet explorer or firefox, the eorr doesn't appear but the movie doesn't play till the end instead jumping in a loop every 2 seconds.

the movie clip is more than 10 seconds long

i can't tell what's going on, can anyone please advise?

One of the reasons may be that you don't stop timeline and every time the first frame is hit - you load the thing again.

Try to use a conditional:

var preLoader:Loader;
if(!preLoader) {
     preLoader = new Loader();
     preLoader.load(myRequest);
}

thanks andrei i put the code in .. though notice now that the movie doesn't load in safari and still get the error when clicking another link. it loops similarly, even more noticeable in the other browsers. do you have any other ideas? thank you for your time

     preLoader.load(myRequest);

}

preLoader.load(myRequest);

preLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,showProgress );

preLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showContent);

function showProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {

    var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;

}

function showContent(event:Event):void

{

    //New swf has been loaded...

    //Now remove all three items you've added to stage

    addChild(preLoader);

}

You load it twice. Remove preLoader.load() from outside if statement -  use only one inside.

doh! your right... works great now, thanks for your help!

[Andrei1-bKoviI]

You are welcome.

actually i just noticed that i still get the error message in safari if i click another hyperlink on the page before the movie has loaded

works okay once the movie has loaded

[Andrei1-bKoviI]

I guess, don't let them click until it loads completely.

[nvisibl]

hehe okay

safari seems not so good in loading flash movies compared to IE and Firefox.. takes waaaeeey longer

thanks for your time, much appreciated
