Actionscript 3.0 Preloader Instantly Finishes

I have had a lot of trouble trying to make a preloader work in Actionscript 3.0. I'm also using Animate CC.

So to try to figure out how to even make it work, I downloaded Simple NG Loader from Newgrounds https://www.newgrounds.com/downloads/preloaders/ , to make sure I had a working preloader. Then I got 4 high res images from google, around 10000x10000 pixels each, adding up to 85MB, to make sure there was more than enough to load.

I placed the preloader on the first frame, and put all the images on the second along with "stop();".

When I play, the preloader instantly finishes, but it leaves me with a white screen for a while before the images eventually shows up.

If I play it using a standalone flash player, it instantly crashes.

I would really appreciate some help with this!

The issue is probably that the game will already be fully loaded when you launch the swf in flash. You need to set your flash player to "Simulate Download". Do the following:

  • Hit ctrl+enter in your ide to launch the swf
  • Hit view on the menu of the swf and click simulate download.
  • The swf will now restart and pretend it's downloading. If you open view again, you can select the download speed by going to "Download Settings"
