[_] Anon 3445643 Hey /f/, how do you force flash to simulate loading to show a preloader? IIRC there was a way to do it. Marked for deletion (old).
>> [_] Anon 3445648 >># In this flash, you can just right click and hit "rewind". But that's not guaranteed to work for all flashes.
>> [_] Anon 3445649 >># you mean while testing it inside the adobe flash cs6?
>> [_] Anon 3445654 >># this is just a gist of it stop(); stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad) function preLoad(e:Event):void { var bytestoLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal; var numberLoaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded; if (bytestoLoad == numberLoaded) { gotoAndPlay(2); stage.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad); }
>> [_] Anon 3445656 You can run a local webserver to serve the swf, and then throttle the bandwidth. I have a really shitty python script for this.

>> [_] Anon 3445680 >># >># Pretty sure what you are thinking of is the special "preview" flash player that comes with for example Flash Professional CS6 (and earlier). There you can simulate downloading the flash at different speeds. It was a useful feature that they removed in Adobe Flash Professional CC 2015 because I guess they didn't think download speeds were an issue by then. (?) There is a "debug" flash projector but as far as I know it does not come with that feature. You can grab the "Flash Player projector content debugger" from here until the end of the year: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplaye r/debug_downloads.html Unless Adobe takes down their downloads early, wouldn't surprise me.
>> [_] Anon 3445730 >># When I select Control>Test Movie>Test there is the feature you mention. https://i.imgur.com/Kt08aiI.png But when I start the debugger that comes with Flash CS6 by itself (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\Players\Debug\FlashPlayerDebugger.ex e) it's not available. I wonder if there is a way to use this feature outside of Adobe Flash.
>> [_] Anon 3445741 >># if you are just using the player, there is no good way I usually put it on a network cache that I own cause that has a slight loading time the first time alternatively just upload somewhere if you are creating it it's easy just go to "test movie" (ALT+ENTER) then on the flash preview go to network simulator or whatsitcalled (ALT+ENTER again) then it opens the flash preview again with the loader bar at the top, in the menue you can switch settings like download speed, etc.
