Is it possible with actionscript to detect if an image is present before loading it?For instance I am using loadMovie to load an external jpeg.
Code:
instanceName.loadMovie("/folder/image.jpg");
Is there any way I can test to see if that image exists using Actionscript, then tell the timeline to do something else if it is not there?
Ok, I have a main movie with two transition elements. They each close together when loading a main category, and i just wanted to kno is there a way that i can keep the stuff behind transitional element 2 closed, even if its done loading, until the stuff behind transitional element 1 is done?
View 14 RepliesI need to support loading a file that has an ASCII version and a binary version, both with the same extension. I can see two ways of going about this, but I'm not sure which one would be better:Detect the format after the entire file is loaded, and reload it if I guessed the wrong format when I started loading it.Detect the format as it's loading, and start the load over with the proper format if I guessed wrong at first.If I load the entire file with URLLoaderDataFormat set to TEXT, and it ends up being binary, do I need to reload the entire file, or is there a simple chunk of code that can convert back and forth between BINARY and TEXT formats in ActionScript? This would be ideal, so I never have to load the file twice.
In terms of detecting whether a file is BINARY or TEXT, my method would be to read the first five characters in the file and see if it's a word that appears at the top of all ASCII files in this format. If it's not, then I assume it's BINARY.I'm a little new to working with BINARY data in flash, so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.
I am adding an image dynamically to my SWF. Is it possible to figure out that whether the uploaded image is black & white or gray-scale or colored?

View 1 RepliesI'm working on an image pre-loader where i get the images i want from their respective url's, and once finished, proceeding to the next page. I have gotten it to load the images as i want/need, through lines of code similar to this:
Code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("imgcont",1);
loader.loadClip("*url to img goes here*",imgcont);
All i'm looking to find is how many of my images have loaded completely. At first, i thought that getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() would have been able to help me, but it seems that the images brought in through loadClip has no weight on how much has been loaded.
Is there any way of determining how much of those images has been loaded?
hare is the line I use to load image to movie clip IMG:
Code:
IMG.loadMovie("photoz/"+LPIC[DAIKTYNAS[preinuse][b]]);

I am able to load images into my file by designating their locations in an XML file using AS3. I'd like to be able to determine the width and height of the individual images without having to manually enter each one into the XML file.I think once I reach this point, I'll be able to figure it out on my own:I want to be able to load an image to the stage and trace its width.
View 6 RepliesIs there a way to detect the _height and _width of a incoming image?
I'm going through a loop, duplicating movie clips with mask, loading an image, and squeezing it down to 100 x 100 for thumbnails. The client wants the thumbnails to be actual proportions but I used so many tweens and setup functions based on the 100 pixel width it's going to be a nightmare.
I am trying to detect if a point on an image is on the opaque part of the image or the transparent part. I have a image in a 48X48 area. half the image has transparent pixels. I seem to detect a hit on every part of the image like a bounding box test but I don't want that. For example . I place a 48X48 size image on stage at 0,0. At point 40,20 on the stage the image has transparent pixels but I get it detects a hit?
mm.img.hitTestPoint(40,20,true); //it should give me false
I'm loading a number of MP3 files into my Flash (the number changes dynamically). I would like to be able to say, in total, how much longer all the files will take to load.
I can do this for each individual sound.Mp3.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, test_function);
But each sound is loaded by an instance of my sound loader class, how can I pass the ProgressEvent up to the parent object, and then have it calculate the total time to load?
detect current frame number of a movie clip inside a loaded external swf?
its like this, i have a main swf, lets call it "loader_swf", inside the loader_swf i create a movie clip called "holder_mc" which loads an external swf, lets call it "ex_swf". The ex_swf has a movie clip in frame 2 which is the main animation of ex_swf. Is it possible to get the current frame number of the movie clip holding the animation on frame 2? the only thing i know is to get the current frame of main timeline of ex_swf.
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]...

Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
View 1 RepliesI developing a site where on the homepage, there are about 6 images that rotate, but if you click on a sub link, a different image loads. But the problem is that, the first image has to cycle through before the second image loads. I want the second image to load immediately.

[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.
View 3 RepliesI tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?

But, I need a small twist. A transition image i.e. loading image should be displayed while the the image is being loaded.
I'm loading a .png image with loadMovie() and I need to center the image (for later dragging). I know flash has some issues with loading stuff, but I really need to get the movieclip's width. If someone knows how to get over this and get the movieclip's width

I thought I could just initialize a myLoader2 and do everything myLoader does after it does it, but that doesn't work.
This code is loading the xml correctly, populating the mainClipArray correctly, but only adding the last image to the stage.I think it is not waiting for completeClipLoad() to complete. I tried removing :void from the function to see if waiting for a return would do it, but no luck.[code]
