ActionScript 2.0 :: Copying An Existing ContentPath For Loader?
Feb 11, 2009
I'm having a project where I rely heavily on loading external images in AS2.These lines works fine and I have about a hundred of them:
_root.pic.contentPath = "GFX/Data11.png";
_root.pic.contentPath = "GFX/Data12.png";
etc.
I have another loader which works as a magniyer for the aforementioned one. Is it possible to let it load up the same image as "_root.pic.contentPath" without having to type in code manually for each picture?
I am using the loader component to place images on the main timeline.My goal is to use a folder with multiple images.How can I modify the AS 2.0 code from myLoader.contentPath = "image.jpg";?I know it should start with:myLoader.contentPath = myVariable;How do I define myVariable to mean the path of the folder with multiple images?The folder will contain 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
Here's what I am trying to do: I have an array of movie clip instances called iconArray[]. what I want to do is create the effect of shifting icons on screen right or left. Lets say we're shifting the icons left--what I want to happen is the icon on the left (iconArray[0]:MovieClip) to tween to the left about 20-30 pixels and then fade out, which I can currently achieve. The problem is I want copy the instance of that icon as a temp MC and push it onto iconArray and then have it fade in tween from the right.
In other words, the left most icon should "wrap" back around to the position of the right most icon but in order to create the illusion without having the left most icon pass over the other icons (which looks tacky) I want to create a copy of the left most icon and push it onto the array as a new movieclip with the same image and have that fade in from the right while the other one dies off.
[Code]...
it does not create a new icon, is seems to point to the same movie clip as iconArray[0] and any adjustments I make to the x or alpha affect the original MovieClip instance and not the new on I created and pushed onto the array.
How does one go about copying a movieclip, storing it in it's own instance/var so it can be displayed and manipulated as a separate entity?
I have two classes, call them A and B. They both contain a Loader object. In class A I load content into the Loader object.
public class A { var loader:Loader; public function A():void {
[Code].....
But that's not what I want. I don't want to manage a bunch of children when I know I only have one child but just want to change its content.
Is there a way to copy/assign a Loader directly? I tried assigning to 'content' but that's read-only. Basically I have an array of Loader objects that all get loaded with images. I then have a single Loader that's on the stage and I want to assign to it images (Loaders) from my array.
I'm making a card game and each card has a certain symbol on it which is loaded from an external .png file. I don't want to make it so that it has to load the .png every time it make a card, so I made it load in the preloader/background. How do I make new objects that looks the same as the loader, like copying the loader's data or something?
I have a pretty complex flash project that I need to add a pre-loader to.
Currently all the items we have are in the Library inside the .fla file. I've been reading a few of the pre-loader blog entries and tutorials and getting nowhere.
I've tried to create another .fla file that loads the compiled .swf file of the complex project and that did not work as well.
This is my first flash project and I'm pretty inexperienced with it. What do I need to do?
Do I have to strip all the items from the library and load them individually (and have them saved somewhere on a server) ?
How can I create a loader class within the project that runs on Frame 1 and "Loads" all the items that are needed?
how can i send the contentPath from a scroller to a php file? The scroller has the instance name of ImagePane. I want to publish that contentPath to a txt file using php.
I am trying to use the FLV Playback component to load FLV's dynamiclly into the flash movie.What I have is a asp page with a Recordset pulling the URL from the DB into the page using Dreamweaver. This is all fine.Now I have one instance of the FLVPlayback on the stage with flash .I am trying to load the url for the FLV file into the movie, via ASP, MsSQL and a url parameter. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a link on a page with a url that will open a popup window. In this window I will have the Flash file that will load the FLV based on the URL, and play it.
When i click button 01, load the image externaly "01.jpg" in the ScrollPane. By clicking the button 02 change the path to "02.jpg" in the same ScrollPane, by clicking 03 the same thing, and so on.
First off I am using flash 8 What I am trying to do. (or should that be failing to do?) load a video swf in to a master swf, Master swf has no controls and loads the video swf ok But no video content. Main file loads video swf in to mc_vidholder in the main swf Code in AS frame
how can I dynamically change the contentPath in FLVPlayback-Component, when one video is complete and the other one should follow? the code below it doesn't work for me. I don't show the full URLs, but the problem is definitely somewhere else. As separate contentPaths they work perfectly. I don't know why this shouldn't work, do I need smth. else to force FLVPlayback to refresh the content?
I just created a 448x380 SWF with the following code:
[Code]...
Why doesn't that load a video? The skin partially appears, but the video does not. Hitting "Play" gives a server error, even though I'm testing locally. Does FLVPlayback need the full MACHINE PATH -- file:////blah blah blah -- to access that local file? You'd think not.
I have a single frame file that is a portfolio viewer. When I rollover a thumbnail an image shows up in my main_mc. This works fine, but am trying to get the image to fade in to make it a little nicer.I've spent countless hours already searching forums and testing code, but it doesn't work. I wonder if it's because I'm using only one frame?
i am happy with it and now want to repeat it with all the other images in the slideshowhe problem is, when i copy the keyframes (with a tween) on the first image that animated and try and paste them onto the 2nd image in my series, it actualy charges the image as well ! So that the second image becomes the firts image on the keyframes.Is there a way just to copy the opacity and motion animation ONLY ? My guess is there must be because to animate each picture by hand with a custom ease in & out curve would take forvever
I want to copy some text to edit in the same style and size etc, however when I do change the wording, it changes the original too. How can I do this so only the copy changes when editing?
I don't come to you guys for help until I have completely exhausted my other on-line sources. I want to copy my buttons and their functions from one file to the next with out having to recreate it each time.
I have an object, which I would like to copy into a new object. This new object would not be a pointer to the new object. I need it to be totally independent, yet identical to the first object. Example
This is probably something really simple but I have this multi-dimensional array which holds vital data. At one point in my program I need to copy the array so that I can sort it numerically and display the data, without permanently altering the original array order. I thought okay, create a new array and copy the original array data into it.[code]...
I have two swf files, each one almost with the same classes, the most important one is a Singleton class, each swf does "singleton.getInstance()". The diference is that one swf is like a container and the other one is like a module. So when the container loads the module from an absolute path like loader.load("file://c:/modules/module.swf") or loader.load("[URL]"), two different singletons (same class) are created
But when the container loads from a relative path like loader.load("module.swf") , just one singleton is created (that is what I want) I am just intrigued with this behavior, could someone explain me this? PD: I believe is something related to loaderContext and applicationDomain but It also appears that isn't working right. -Patricio Foieri , Vertigo Labs
The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.
I'm feeling a bit low now as I have been suffering this for months. A simple loader loads my simple game and runs VERY FAST on even slow pcs BUT when I build this other loader, it goes quite slowly and I don't know where the app is going wrong. WHERE is the processing consumptoin coming from out of my app.
Im working on an application for a website. When the user finishes entering all of the information into the Flass application, they press a button. I want it to open another page from that website and enter the information into it.
I have a movie clip with a graphic. I want to copy the clip and change its colour. How do I create a copy of the movie clip change its properties without the other movieclip's properties changing as well. I have it now. I was copying the instance not the graphics themselves.
I have a text field with a variable name of "name" I have a second text field with a variable name of "name2"I have a buttonWhen the button is pressed, I simply want the text that the user has entered in "name" to appear in the "name2" text field.What action do I need to add to the button?
I'm sure Adobe is sick of hearing about bugs, but.... one issue that I've noticed with Flash CS4 that was never an issue in CS3 is that when selecting the frames of a complex animation, copying them, and pasting them into another Flash file, often results in some of the artwork getting mixed up.
I am an newbie trying to take an existing Flash game and modifying it for my own selfish goals. I am duplicating symbols and trying to preserve all of their actions so that I can then swap them out for my own symbols. When I swap, actions are preserved, but I have run out of symbols to swap, so now I am trying to duplicate the remaining symbol so I have more to swap with, but when I duplicate the actions are lost. I have adjusted the actions code to accommodate more symbols ( or at least I think I have)
I have two flash files, the one Im editing and the original. I want to copy two perfect layers from the original and past them on the one im editing, but each time I copy, it only copies the image, cant copy the entire layer with the animation.
so I am trying to move the contents of my Flash movie to another, I want to keep thier file structures and tweens. I can keep the file structure but when i move the layer to a new movie clip or file, the tweens are shifted from their original place. how can i move them but keep their coordinates as well.
