Dynamic Ajax Content doesn't load Flashpreoloader? (swf)

**miow** · 08-26-2010, 12:02 PM

Hi there again!

For this time i have a new problem. (attention: my english is bad!)

I use your script "Dynamic Ajax Content" for loading my content without refreshing my website. It's all fine and it works.
But now i see a new "problem".

If i work with php include, the preloader from the flashfile (SWF) runs perfect!!!
(the preloader is a startmovie from a normal flashmovie)

But if i work with my Ajax load command, the preloader is not shown.
I see for a couple of seconds the predefined backgroundcolor of the swf file (i should see the preloader now) and then after finish loading of the swf, i see the content of the flashmovie. The movie runs perfect then.
Is this normal?

For short: If i load a swf movie/animation with php include (or similar), the preloader of the movie works and i can see the preloader.
But if i load with ajax (with your "Dynamic Ajax Content" script), i don't see the preloader of the swf movie/animation. But after complete loading of the swf file, i can see the movie normally.

Now to know:
Is this normal and i have to live with that or is there any solution for showing the preloader?

Thank you very much!

Best Greetings from Germany, miow

Please post about Dynamic Drive Scripts in the Dynamic Drive Scripts Help section here where I've moved this thread, and:

Warning: Please include a link to the DD script(s) in question in your post. See this thread for the proper posting format when asking a question.

Does the preloader involve javascript? If so, AJAX imported javascript usually will not run unless certain steps are taken. These generally depend to a degree upon the script.

I'm sorry about my mistake yesterday. Threadstart is updated!
I just forget to link.

To your Question: No. I guess not. It's just a "loading" movie in the movie.
[...]link removed[...]
The best example is "dog of man". There you can see on my site, there's no preloader.
But here you can see the preloader.
It's incredible. ^^

I just want to know: Is this "phenomen" with Ajax normal and i have to live with that?
Thank you very much!

Best Greetings, miow

PS:
I thought not, that my problem was/is specific/related to this script.(it's just Ajax...because i got the same problem with jQuery/Prototype) Because of that i started this thread in the other forum. But anyway: I'm sorry!

It's not AJAX because if I do:

dogofman.htm:

Code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
name="flashvideos"
width="420"
height="282"
align="middle"
id="flashvideos">
<param name="movie" value="http://yourdomain.org/funny_stuff/flash_cartoons/dogofman/dogofman.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="http://yourdomain.org/funny_stuff/flash_cartoons/dogofman/dogofman.swf"
width="420"
height="282"
align="middle"
quality="high"
bgcolor="#000000"
name="flashvideos"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer_de"
play="true" />
</object>

and dogofman_import.htm:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
	$.get('dogofman.htm', function(data){$('#target').html(data);});
});
function wipe(){
$('#target').empty();
}
function iimport(){
	$.get('dogofman.htm', function(data){$('#target').html(data);});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="wipe();" value="wipe"> <input type="button" onclick="iimport();" value="import"> 
<div id="target">

</div>
</body>
</html>

It works just fine.

It's either other code on the funny_stuff/flash_cartoons/dogofman/ index page, other code on flash_cartoons.php, or the fact that another preloader has already run on the flash_cartoons.php page. Or, maybe you just have to use the absolute path to the .swf as I did above.

I think it's the dogofman index page. But I'm just guessing. Try simplifying it like in my example.

**miow** · 08-27-2010, 11:35 AM

Well, i understand what you mean. But the fact is: If i link the page with php include or make this site (dog of man) as stand-alone version, the preloader is showing up.
It is only a problem with Ajax (load).

So i guess, i have to live with that or i have to change my code from Ajax-load to php-include.
I think, it's just one of few "mini-problems" with Ajax.

Thank you very much!

If you link (include) this page (/funny_stuff/flash_cartoons/dogofman/index.html):

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
location.replace('../../../flash_cartoons.php?loadpage=' + encodeURIComponent(location.href + '::content') + '#anker');
</script>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=../../../flash_cartoons.php?loadpage=funny_stuff/flash_cartoons/dogofman/index.html::content" />
<div class="unbev_wrapper">

to flash_cartoons.php via PHP, you will get an endlessly reloading page.

In fact, in Opera, that's what you get with AJAX. Try it without the highlighted part.

**miow** · 08-27-2010, 02:50 PM

That is correct. I mean with that, i would "rewrite" the entire page to a normal html page without refreshings and then i could include this one.
But that would only be a test for me and no solution.

Just wondering about, why Ajax cant load the preloaders correctly. I test it with some other scripts and it's the same.
Funny, isn't it? ô.O

**jscheuer1** · 08-27-2010, 03:48 PM

All I can say is that it works fine here. I even just tried it with ajaxpage, works fine with that too.

Try my example from post #4 in this thread.
