I've got a gallery that loads images in using MovieClipLoader. Unfortunately once the images are loaded they don't seem to want to be resized.I've added an empty MC to the stage for each one and loaded the image in, then I try to resize it to fit the screen. Tracing the size after the onLoadComplete event returns 0 and changing the size makes the clips disappear from the screen.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a Flash application that has thumbnails and fullsize versions of an image. The steps I'm taking:
- import the image at runtime, and attach to a movieclip (we'll call it polaroid, since that's what I'm calling it).
- resize polaroid via polaroid._width=3; polarois._height=3; to get my thumb
The image quality is OK for pictures, but it's also fairly important that text not look too pixelated. Is there anything relatively simple (i.e. not too taxing on RAM) I can do here? Even a blurring layer would do the job, if there is any such thing.
I'm trying to import images into a movieclip [URL]. I now have the image loaded but was wondering how to resize it using actionscript 3.
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to resize dynamic loaded images, they are loaded from a xml file into a existing movieclip in _root. When I try to resize using _height and _width the images just don't show in the swf. I searched the forum and found that _xscale and _yscale works, but I really need to resize the image with _height and _width

Please help I've been researching this topic for like 2 days straight and it is driving me insane because I can't seem to find a specific answer for what I'm trying to achieve and I know it can be done because I've seen end results on the web. Here is what I'm doing:
1. I created a simple museum gallery with 3 portraits hanging on the wall
2. Inside the museum portraits I created 3 different uiLoaders with a black background
3. I gave all 3 uiLoaders their own unique movieClip names
3. Inside each uiLoader will be a loaded external image via a URL
4. I DO NOT want to resize the uiLoaders - I want to scale the external images proportionately to fit inside the entire contents of the uiLoaders and still remain centered
URL...As you can see currently the 3 random external images are loaded perfectly inside the uiLoaders but you see black background and I want the photos to fit the entire contents of the uiLoaders yet still remain proportionate.[code]
I have a swf that loads images from my server and resizes them to fit the 800x600 stage size. The original images are stored at 1024x768 max pixels. The user can press a button to go into fullscreen mode. What should I do to show the images at the best quality?
a) should I resize the loaded images to their max size (1024x768).
b) do I need to reload the entire image if it has been resized to 800x600 or is the original image still accessible and I can replace the 800x600 image with the original?
I am using AS2 and Flash 8 (but require users to have Flash Player 10 for fullscreen)
Here's the code which i use to center scale and all the other stuff[code]...

I have a main movie here that loads in an external swf through a container mc. everything is aligned and positioned to where it should be, and they are also set to that value onresize. the problem is, when my swf is loaded in, it works fine and is in the right position, same when you resize it. BUT, if you resize the window before the swf is loaded, it misaligns, until you resize!!
View 2 RepliesI have a small problem using MovieClipLoader to load multiple images at the same time. This is the function for loading:
ActionScript Code:
private function loadImage(image:String, container:MovieClip, w:Number, h:Number):Void{
var listener:Object = new Object();
_root.debug.text += "Loading: " + image +"
[code]....
This function is triggered in a for cycle for 4-9 images.The problem is - some of the images don't get fully loaded. It is usually 1 or 2 at most. Some of them don't show at all and some load partially (let's say I see 60% of the image and underneath a gray line). Is there some restriction for multiple connections in Flash? Are the requests made too fast?This problem does not occur in Flash environment, it occurs only online. The listeners execute alright even for the not loaded images. No load error at all.
Which is the best way to load many images with the movieClipLoader class?do I have to create one instance of moveClipLoader for each image or is it possible to use the same for all the images?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to load a local SWF then catch a few events that are fired but I can't see why this isn't working.
Here's the code
Parent.swf
_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
_mcl.addListener(this);
_mcl.loadClip("Child.swf", rotator_mc);
[code]....
Now I was hoping that this would work, and the Parent would have "childLoaded caught 2" in the trace, but it doesn't.
The starting point is that I load an external PNG file into an open SWF application with the following code:
---------------------------------------
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadInit = function():Void {
//do certain actions - not relevant for my question
};
[code]....
That works fine. The problem is how can I later reference to 'flower02.png' as BitmapData which is loaded as a movieClip into the movieClip 'mc1' to execute certain BitmapData methods like in particular 'copyPixels()'?I'm aware that I could use:
---------------------------------------
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var libId:String = "flower";
var flowerBmp:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(libId);
---------------------------------------
In this way I could reference my BitmapData by its variable identifier 'flowerBmp'. But this would require that my 'flower02.png' is already in the library which is not possible for my purpose.
I'm doing a small site in which I'm probably gonna use a simple layout and load the actual content as swf's into a box... So far, the listeners for the MovieClipLoader class works fine, but the loaded content (which has the same exact size as the box it is loaded into) is being scaled in a strange way. When I trace the width and height after the clip is loaded I get the numbers I want (mostly) but it still LOOKS stretched. I've checked that the container clip isn't scaled, I've set the xscale and yscale to 100, I've manually tried to set the width and height (with the onLoadInit listener AND the onLoadComplete listener) but the numbers does not work as they should... It does resize, but not to the exact values I give it.
View 4 RepliesI am loading an external .swf into a container movieClip & using movieClipLoader to preload the .swf. The my progress bar works, but when it reaches 100%, it doesn't show the loaded .swf.

This always traces the width/height of the content of the external crossball.swf file, not its stage dimensions. So let's say crossball.swf has a document size of 200 by 200 pixels and in it is a shape of 115 by 30 it will trace the last as the width/height of 'container'.Is there any way to get the stage dimensions of an externally loaded swf through moviecliploader?
I'm using a preloader and MovieClipLoader to seemingly good effect and I have an ending sequence to my preloader where it plays out once the target clip is loaded. The ending sequence features within the preloader itself (preloader_mc.endingClip). preloader_mc plays through its frames with:
[Code]...
until it gets to 100% and then gets to a frame telling endingClip to play. All good unless the target clip is already loaded. Then what happens is that the preloader jumps to 100% and only plays the ending sequence. I would like to have a way of checking to see if the target clip has already been loaded so as to avoid displaying only this ending portion of the preloader.

Im having problems with assessing the size of an image after having loaded it into a movieclip using MovieClipLoader.Im trying to use the onLoadComplete-method to determine when the image is completely downloaded into the imageholder-mc, but Im just getting the original size of the mc, not the image's.[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a swf that loads external images from an xml feed (using moviecliploader) and then rotates through these images every n seconds. This works fine in ie and it loads the images and scrolls through them. However in Firefox sometimes it loads the image and sometimes it doesn't! its like a lucky dip haha Is there any link that you know of to any information on this bug/issue with firefox that might help me resolve this? Found something that might be causing the problem, if Firefox cannot find the image within a certain time it just gives up... is this true?

Im trying to use the onLoadComplete-method to determine when the image is completely downloaded into the imageholder-mc, but Im just getting the original size of the mc, not the image's. I using the MovieClipLoader incorrectly somehow?
Code:
var MCL = new MovieClipLoader();
MCL.loadClip("IMAGE.jpg", mc_ImageHolder);
MCL.onLoadComplete = function (targetMC) { // perhaps 'targetMC' should be used?
trace (mc_ImageHolder._width); // outputs mc's original size, not image's size
}
