Strange loading

[polonDev]

Hello,

 

I am using LoaderMax for more then one month.

I had no problem with that at all but yesterday all my versions of app started to be strange.

Loading progress is juggling and my progressbar is sometimes going far out of my view.

 

I didn't change anything just it happened.

 

Maybe it's not LoaderMax related.

 

 

Local version with simulate downloads works fine.

 

 

What can be wrong ?

 

Thank you.

Hmmm, if you didn't change anything, and LoaderMax didn't change anything, I can only suspect your Flash Player may have been upgraded. What version are you using? Can you roll back to a later version?

 

Also, when was the last time you updated your LoaderMax files? I would suggest downloading a fresh version.

 

If none of these ideas shine any light on the issue, please try to provide a very simple file that we can compile that will replicate the issue. We will do our best to help.

Flash player version within 2 days is still same. I have currently NPSWF32_11_5_502_110.dll

Is it chance that is web hosting problem ?

 

Also, when was the last time you updated your LoaderMax files? I would suggest downloading a fresh version.

month ago.

Please re-compile with the latest LoaderMax files. We are constantly staying on top of minor inconveniences Adobe bakes into new versions of the player.

 

I haven't heard of web hosts being the reason for many problems. Sometimes they aren't configured properly to serve flvs, but for images and mp3s.

 

Do you have access to another server that you can test on?

 

If you can provide some files that we can test it would go a long to helping solve the issue. As of now we certainly aren't aware of any reason a swf would perform differently from one day to the next. I'm sure your situation is frustrating. We'll certainly help if we can.

You can see what is the problem here http://www.9cubes.co.../Main/Main.html

 

Here you can download the preloader source code here : http://www.9cubes.co...lve/fortest.rar

 

Thank you very much for help.

 

Locally works fine.

hmm, I saw the issue on your server but not on mine:

http://www.snorkl.tv/dev/preloader/Main/Main.html

 

I get a progressbar that grows consistently and never goes back or jumps out of bounds.

Mac Safari: Flash Player 11.4.402

Mac Firefox: Flash Player 11.4.402

Mac Chrome: Flash Player 11.5.31

 

I haven't looked at the code, as this seems to make a strong case (in conjunction with your own past experience) for the code being solid.

 

I really don't know what to suggest at this point, but it seems like the issue lies somewhere with your host perhaps.

[polonDev]

Thx for test. Anyway i have this code :

__queue = new LoaderMax({onprogress:ProgressHandler, maxConnections:1, onComplete:AllComplete});

 

and

 

 

private function ProgressHandler(e:LoaderEvent):void
{
trace(e.target.progress * 100);
__progressBar.scaleX = e.target.progress;
}

 

If I do debug via Remote debug session and connect to my host i got very strange numbers calculated by LoaderMax:

[sWF] /Problem/ProjectX.swf - 2130 bytes after decompression

100

all done

 

 

The host just asked what is the problem to help me but I don't know what to answer.

How to specify the problem which caused this.

[GreenSock]

I'm not a server-side guy at all, but it sounds to me like the problem has to do with the headers that the server is sending and the data they carry about the file(s) it is serving. Maybe it's a gzip issue or mime type or some other info in the header. But like Carl said, it definitely sounds like a server-side issue. I wish I had better info to share.
