I'm building an app that will load a series of jpegs over the internet. Setting an exact size for the jpegs is a problem because it's set up to play full screen and we have no control over the machine it will play on.I just realized that the "Allow Smoothing" option is not available for jpegs loaded this way! Is there any way to optimize the appearance of jpegs with action script?

I have a scrolling/zoom in animation done in as3. At times the animation is jerky. I am wondering how I can possibly smooth this out. I am using several quite large mc's that are all being manipulate at the same time. Would it help to make mc's that are off the screen invisible until they are visually needed? I am very new to flash/as3 so I don't know a lot about what might slow down the animation. I am working in cs4. Here is a link to the page I am working on. It is mostly the "Harman" button that I am getting this jerkiness on and then only sometimes. Hover over the logo to expand the menu. I wonder if I just have too much going on at the same time?

I made a navbar that you can see here: http:[url]....If you hover over you see the effect that happens and when you mvoe off it jumps back to frame 1. How to I make it so it smoothly goes back into frame 1 without jumping? Or at least fake it so it looks the same and goes smooth.
View 1 RepliesI am having problems with the images being smooth.I have edited the code throughout with forceSmoothing = true and _quality = best.It all works and looks smooth if I test the file in the preview window and if I run the HTML file. But as soon as I put the file under IIS the smoothing stops.All my flash players are v10+ . I have turned the IIS compression off but no luck.
View 1 RepliesI'm loading an external .jpg and moving it across stage.if I was to do this with a .jpg already in the Library, the movement would look much better if I manually activated "allow smoothing" from the .jpg's properties.so I'm trying to do the same for the loaded picture.what I've done so far is loading the picture, wait until it's completely loaded and then convert the content of the loader to bitmap and setting the smoothing property of this bitmap to true....OR, this is what I'm trying to do.here's my code:
Code:
var _loader:Loader;
var _loaderArray:Array = [];

i have made a bitmap over a menu and the only problem is that I made a scale and a rotation over that bitmap and it gets distort and I don't know why, because I use this:
ActionScript Code:
attachBitmap(b, 2, "always", true);
when i attach the bitmap.
I just upgraded to CS4. I'm working with sprites and using the properties of the images I've turned off smoothing to get that retro gaming feel. However, when viewing the sprites on the stage, everything is smoothed over which makes things difficult for me to animate. When I render everything, it looks perfect, just the way I want it with smoothing off, but how do I turn off the smoothing on the stage?
View 8 RepliesIve searched and found this property .smoothing = true; But since im not using any bitmap vars i dont know where to put it, or maybe is it impossible to smooth images from my code and i need to rewrite it with bitmap stuff?

I'm building textbox dynamically as i normally do, i'm importing a font to the library and embedding the font to the textfield. However for some reason when the text is White it doesn't antialias correctly. I'm using white, pink and bronze text, when it's bronze or pink it is fine but when it is white or even a colour close to white then it blurs and looks messy.
here are my text box and format settings are attached.

View 4 RepliesI'm doing a simple bkend admin using php for the client to upload images to be displayed on their flash website. ideally if they upload at the correct size, no problem, but sometimes they don't. So my problem comes in when the uploaded images are very big. When they are scaled down, the smoothing makes no difference at all.
I was wondering if there is a work around?
Code:
import flash.display.*;
loadMcListener.onLoadinit = function(){
var bitmap = new BitmapData(mc._width,mc._height,true,0x000000);

I am loading in external jpg's and I was wondering whether it is possible to apply smoothing to them so they are not so jagged.
View 2 Repliessee the attached file for reference. A couple of things :I have a selection bar moving down or up 25 pixels on press, but it seems to be adding 2 pixels on each successive move, how do I get it to respect the 25 pixel movement restriction?
While the selection bar is moving, you can press the button again, breaking the code and sending the bar off the screen. Ive tried to solve this with a boolean (var moving) to tell whether the bar is moving or not, and thus prevent the movement code from running. However, once the bar has stopped, I cannot get it out of the moving = true state, to move the bar again.
edit: "I'd like to add a movement tween to the bar..." There is a thread above about this, plus millions of examples around the web.

I have made a noticeboard that loads jpegs dynamically. Problem is that if I need to resize the noticeboard the jpegs are no longer smooth or even readable.I've already posted about using the new force smoothing in CS3 but it seems to have no effect.Here are the examples of the noticeboard at 100% and then resized.
Original size
Shrunk down
As you can see the notices degrade pretty quickly.Here is the actionscript that generates the notices:
Code:
myNv.sendAndLoad("noteboardread.php", myNv, "POST");
myNv.onLoad = function () {
var x:Number = 0;
[code].....
However, it still doesn't seem to be smoothing the jpegs - is there anything else that can be done to make these more readable.
I imported an external jpeg.
Code:
target.loadMovie("image.jpg");
Now, I would like to SMOOTH this image.
Since it does not appear in the library. I don`t know how.
Is this possible?
I come across this again and again in flash. Using the default timeline based tweening (with the FPS set to 24)...is there any way of smoothing out the jerkiness? any AS i can add on frame 1 for example?
View 1 RepliesI would like to use the smoothing function for my code here below.This is just a slideshow gallery that resize the photos at 100% full page with scaling proportions.=
2 - Another problem issue: this has a little movement effect that moves the photo when the mouse moves. To do this i scaled the images at 110% but it looks a bit streched here.

I have a problem with embedded FLVs: if I have a player I can apply the smoothing easily, but if I have a timeline-embedded FLV without a player? How can I smooth it?
View 2 RepliesI have some high res images that I am zooming in and out of, I have smoothing enabled that works fine when zooming in on the image, but when I zoom out and make the image smaller it pixelates it really badly. Is there any way i can resample the image or make the smoothing better when the image is small?
View 3 RepliesTrying to set the smoothing of a dynamically loaded, through XML, JPEG set to true using AS2. I've seen an example of that would do this with this code:
createEmptyMovieClip("myMC",getNextHighestDepth()) ;
loadBitmapSmoothed("mypic.jpg",myMC);
In my code I'm loading a series of products from an XML file. Each bit of information for each product gets loaded into a seprate array. I have a 'zoomy box' image, which loads an image, but at 200%, which I want to smooth...
The code:
nZoompic1[i] = (childs.childNodes[EEE].childNodes[i].childNodes[18].firstChild.nodeValue);
What the syntax would be for getting it to work?
Okay, so this little peice of code works perfectly. The author of this code has set the code up so it loads the file you want, and scales it to 150% and rotates it 15 degrees, the problem is, I cant see where in the code you can set what to scale it by or rotate,
Actionscript Code:
]_global.smoothImageLoad = function(imgURL, targetMovie) {var i=0do { i++ } while (eval("_root.smoothImageLoadTemp"+i) != undefined)tmc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("smoothImageL� _root.getNextHighestDepth())tmc.createEmptyMovieClip("ti", tmc.getNextHighestDepth())tmc.tm = targetMoviewith(tmc) {tmcl = new MovieClipLoader()tmcl.onLoadComplete = function() {ti.onEnterFrame = function() {pixelData = new [code]....
Can I control bitmap smoothing levels, or is it strictly on and off (true, false)?
View 1 RepliesI am loading an image into my swf. My code is:
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("btnover/Capture2.gif"));
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
imageLoader.smoothing = true;
But I get an error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property smoothing through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.
The image is a set size but the swf resizes with the browser, and the image becomes pixelated.
Is the a problem with flash cs5's pencil tool because the smoothing button is greyed out is it my syatem ?
View 2 RepliesI have a loop which is trying to load a folder full of images into my scene, the images are going to be scaled to roughly 80% of their original size (they get scaled back to 100% so they need to stay at their current size) the loop will always get the right amount of images for the images in the folder so there isnt going to be any problems about it not not finding or loading pictures etcWhen i have tried doing it recently I have my loop load my images, once the image has finished loading it calls a function which takes the data and adds it to a bitmap, which is then smoothed. The problem seems to be it only adds one of the images to the stage when its done, does anyone know the specific way of adding a large amount of images to the stage, do you have to add all the images to a list and then run the bitmap smoothing on each item in the list?
View 13 RepliesI'm using the regular 3D API of flash player 10 and i'm rotating on the Y axis a sprite which contains my bitmap. Although the bitmap.smoothing property is set to true, the bitmap is far from smooth.
View 8 RepliesIn Flash, I can go into the properties of an image in the library and check 'allow smoothing' to enable resampling when the image is scaled or rotated.
How can I achieve the same effect for images loaded dynamically by the SWF from an external URL?
There's many options for ensuring externally loaded pngs have transparency but incorporating smoothing is a different story. I'm fairly certain I could just use the built in transparency boolean for the bitmapData function and set smoothing to true, however the white that is supposed to be transparent is turquoise.
View 2 Repliesas you surely know, setting a picture in your library to "allow smoothing" makes it high quality while resizing, rotating, etc with it on the scene.
Now I'd like to know how to set this to a picture you externally load while playing, cause obviously you can't set its parameter "allow smoothing" to true in the library, it'll never be in your library...
I found one thing that draws a bitmap, copies the pict, etc, but it's very slow at usage. I need something faster but the quality of the image must be perfect.
