KyleKJune Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 i had a problem with getting a function to start in browsers with the onload thing because it took to long to load the video that they where able to exit before my onload function would start.i found a fix to get my function to start before page loads if (window.attachEvent) {window.attachEvent('onload', prankroll());}else if (window.addEventListener) {window.addEventListener('load', prankroll(), false);}else {document.addEventListener('load', prankroll(), false);}but with this my page wont load untill my prankroll function ends.is there a way i can get it to start my function before a video on my page loads but have the page load while my function is happening because my function is a series of alerts that when done clicking threw them it takes you to a new site. because it takes you to a new page the page never loads. i need it to load while my function is occurring. anyone know if i can do this?

dsonesuk Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 so you want it to start the main page, and while it is loading with what seems be a large *.swf run a function which will show annoying pop-up alerts. Then when the main swf file has finally finished loading, go to an completely different page???that would make me close the page and go somewhere else to be honest.is it loading for autostart purpose? how big is this file? can it be compressed further? converted?

Ingolme Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 When adding events with addEventListener, you can't use () after the function. You must omit them so that you're give a reference to the function rather than running it. if (window.addEventListener) { window.addEventListener('load', prankroll, false);} else if (window.addEventListener) { window.attachEvent('onload', prankroll)} else { window.onload = prankroll;} However, this method has the exact same effect as putting an onload attribute on the <body> element.In Javascript, the setTimeout() function creates a new thread, you can try using that instead. Note that I omit the parenthesis, the code won't work if I use them: setTimeout(prankroll,1); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolme Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 What is the redundant starter() function for? You could refer directly to prankroll() instead (omitting the parenthesis, of course).Either way, like I said before, using event listeners would have the same result as <body onload>.Use setTimeout to create a new thread and leave the page loading: function prankRoll() { // Some code here}setTimeout(prankRoll,1); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolme Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 im a beginner in javascript.could you take my above code and show me where to put it?That is supposed to substitute the code you posted above. Just get rid of all the rest of the Javascript code you have (except the prankroll function) and put the setTimeout line right below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
