I'm using loadMovie to load a JPG to a MovieClip. As in ...
loadMovie("c:myimage.jpg", imageholder_mc);
What is the actionscript to determine the pixel width of the image loaded.
there is a way to determine the width of a button that only has a hit state (no up, over or down states)? instance._width returns 0.
View 2 RepliesI just am looking over the CS4/3D methods and am a little bit stumped at this: globalToLocal3D... I am just trying to determine parameters to dynamically resize the width of myMc (once it is pushed back in z dimension - say to 2000) - I am basically using the globalToLocal3D method - yet the compiler is throwing errors - Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid. here is the code that should be self explanatory (other than the fact that I am doing something wrong)...

Is their a way to determine the height and width of your flv f4v file after you dynamically load it?
Couldn't find any properties in the loader or netstreaminfo that I could grab the info from.
Is there a way to have imported images automatically update if the original file is changed?

I have a Flash CS4 Professional version installed in my machine. Here is my problem.
1st - I'm importing an image to stage and set the width and height to match the image. (everything is good, no problem) 2nd - I am using the FLVPlayback components build-in from Flash CS4. It does load the video and everything. (everything seems good) 3rd - Publish the video to my local drive (everything seems good) 4th - I could play the video from my local pc and it loads fine and fast 5th - Upload everthing from my local folder to the Web server, it does display the background image but not the video. It has a white blank screen. What is going on? I copy the exact folder from local to server. What have I missed? How could I make the video to load?

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to load the jpg out of an mp3 (I'm doing this in Flash, but that's neither here nor there), and I've pulled open a few MP3s in a hex editor and while the rest of the tag is pretty clear, the image part is a mystery. There is a label "image/jpeg" but then I expect something resembling a byte length for the image or a string key that demarcates the end of the image
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a countdown timer for my website. I have written a code in ActionScript 2.0 that is working but I have a background that I created in Illustrator onto which I want to embed the timer. So, I have the image and on top of that image is where I would like the numbers to countdown, if that makes any sense?
I've posted the image I am talking about. The bottom half (the box at the bottom) is where I want to put the numbers counting down using Flash.
Is there a specific format that I need to have the imported image in since I have tried jpg, gif, bitmap and none of these allow me to put an action onto it?

I have a .png image of all 44 US presidents, I'm trying to figure out how I could break it apart so that each president can be clicked on. I'm a fairly experienced actionscript programmer, have done some game development work in the developer role but never in the design/UI role, thus I'm not great (or even good!) at some of the beginner stuff regarding UI. I was thinking I could use the lasso tool to select an area, then somehow make that selection into a grapic or movie clip symbol, but I can't seem to get that to work and I'm wasting a lot of time experimenting!
View 1 RepliesI've had this annoying problem since CS1 and persists through CS3. If i import an image (either to stage or to library then placed on stage) the pixel size reported in the properties box is smaller by a very small amount. For example, I just dropped a 1005x650 PNG on the stage. The properties box shows this as w[1004.8] h[649.9]. The file is 72ppi in photoshop. Zooming in confirms that the image is shrunk slightly. In this case, the image was same size as the stage and I could see the white background showing through on the right edge of the graphic. It means that everytime i put a bitmap graphic on the stage, I have to correct the w and h in the properties box.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution? Does it occur in CS4?
edit: resolved
View 0 RepliesI'm having a problem with importing a layered PSD file into Flash, an issue which i've read about in a number of forums but haven't yet been able to fix.
The content of the PSD file in question is numerous layers of line drawing which I am importing to the Stage and converting to keyframes in Flash. The layers have no white background and are clear but for the lines of drawing.
The problem I'm having is that the first layer of the PSD file imports perfectly, with its quality intact, but all those which follow it are distorted and jagged, and look pretty awful for some reason.
I have experimented with both lossy (set at 100) and lossless compressions to try and improve the layer quality, lossless is marginally better but not the best.
I've made a simple picture slideshow. With 10 frames and on each frame a movieclip. On every frame, I use the 'loadMovie' method to import a file..A set of buttons are used to surf through the frames..Okay, I wanted to know, is there any other possible way to add a fade-in fade-out transition while changing the pic from frame 1 to frame 2.. ?The way i know of doing it will be like this;Making a movieclip, MC1, and in there, another movieclip, imagehandler MC, where that image is brought using 'loadMovie' method. And fading in imagehandler MC from frame 0 to frame 10 using motion tweening like we normally do..And putting that MC1 (with MC2 fade in effect inside)to each of the 10 frames in the main slideshow timeline (making different MC1 like MCs for each image)..But this way its much more work and more cramping in the library..

or I can't call them, they should be included in the exported .swf or .exe file I guess what I need is something like an actionscript that would call the images imported to the library is that possible or is there a gallery like that?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to import a jpeg image into an empty movie clip and then resize the image.I can scale it, and position it but I can't resize it. Somebody suggested creating a movieclip in Flash first and giving it an instance name. Then use loadMovie to place the jpeg into that movieclip. This did work and allowed me to resize it but only the movieclip would be resized which in turn resized the image proportionally.I still couldn't specify exact dimensions of the image - only the movieclip.

I have built a very simple Flash gallery in CS4 using AS2. It calls the images from an XML file and works great. The problem is that the captions underneath the images are in a fixed width text box. They look fine underneath horizontal images, but I want to have the text shift in when a vertical image is loaded, and is narrower.
View 3 RepliesI'm constructing a book of sorts in Actionscript 3 (FlexBuilder) and am trying to size an image dynamically according to the dimensions of it's source file. But, I've found that if I don't explicitly state the width and height of an image, they trace as 0.
So that I can scale down an image to fit within a given space, how do I get the width and height of a source image?
I have created some movie clips dynamically using createEmptyMovieClip. Then I am loading images into the clips using the MovieClipLoader. In the onLoadComplete of the loader I am trying to position the clips based on the _width and _height.
I would think that since the clips are loaded as indicated by the OnLoadComplete firing they would have a _width, but it comes up as 0. What gives?
