ActionScript 2.0 :: [F8] Can't Get "loadBitmapSmoothed" To Work With Custom Slideshow
Feb 22, 2009
Simple concept, but I must be missing something. HERE'S THE SETUP:
1) I create 2 empty MCs:
[Code]....
2) then I use code from: [URL] for bitmap smoothing b/c Flash 8 developers where payed more than they deserved :
[Code]....
The function works well if, instead of my target MC being the var "container", it's "s1HLD.HLD0." However (of course), I need to use the var "container" b/c container is truly sometimes s1HLD.HLD0, but other times it's s1HLD.HLD1 (depending on another var). It should work EITHER WAY?????!!! Right??? I know this can't be all that difficult, but I haven't been able to find a workaround.

I have been working on my online portfolio lately and ran into a problem which I initially thought I had solved.I had been loading dynamic images from an XML file into an empty MC using the 'loadMovie' function. No problems. I even had them preloading nicely using a preloader and a bit of script.However, I wanted to be able to rotate these images, and when I did, they lost their quality. I found this was actually an issue with Flash and that it does not by default smooth externally loaded images.
Code:
import flash.display.*;
function loadBitmapSmoothed(url:String, target:MovieClip) {
// Create a movie clip which will contain our [code]....
I think the issue is that the 'getBytesTotal()' and 'getBytesLoaded()' functions do not work with the 'loadBitmapSmoothed()' function.
Problem is, I don't know how to edit the code to allow the preloader to work.

I am trying preload multiple images into an array of MCs..So far I can do this with 1 image using the loadBitmapSmoothed function from this site: [URL]Im using this function mainly because the images will be panning and scaling alot.Here is my code which includes a preloader and I have also attached the flash file (Flash8)
PHP Code:

I have this little slideshow, it is for practise for my students. It always worked well in as 2.0, 5 slides, and two buttons: back and next.The script in2.0 has: prevFrame and nextFrame in the code and for the exceptions in frame 1, and frame 5 we made a new frame 1 in the actions layer, and coded the back button, gotoAndStop(5); and a new frame 5, and coded the next button: gotoAndStop(1); Works.
Now I put the thing over tot as 3.0: And I can not get it to work properly....the buttons work, but when I am on frame 5, and go back to 4, it will go no further than 4, evenso when I go back to frame 1 from 5, I can not go further up than frame 1.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, volgendFrame);//next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,[code].....

How come the following AS3 works fine when placed in Scene 1, but throws multiple "1120 Access of undefined property" errors when the code is placed inside a movie clip? Somehow none of the variables in the code are recognized in the later case.

I create a web template in Dreamweaver 8; in this template I added a slide show (Image Viewer). This template is working fine in browsers and slide show also playing, but when I create the new web page from this template, and then the slide show not playing, there is an error message display.
"A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script? Yes or No"
I keep getting this message again and again. When I say no, it asks me again and again, when I say yes then I can't see whats playing. I also Restart the computer, but don't work.

I still can not get a basic slideshow with the either thumbnails or prev/next buttons to work. It seems that every tutorial either assumes I downloaded the correct libraries or understand when they are using AS2 or AS3.point me to a "FOOL" proof tutorial or template..I understand the basic part of what is going on but do not know enough AS yet to hammer out the actions myself.

I have a slideshow with 3 sections. The slideshow loops automatically as well as when being prompted by a button to go to a particular section. I also added a play/pause button which works initially, however, when clicked on one of the buttons to go to another section, the slideshow resumes looping..I"m assuming I need to check weather the pause button has been clicked to resume/or not resume the slideshow... but I'm unable to figure out how to do that.head of time! Here's the code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;import fl.transitions.easing.*;
//Timervar tl:MovieClip = this;var slideDuration:uint = 12000;// or use whatevervar slideTimer:Timer=new

I'm working on a slideshow using a class that I wrote that builds the slideshow and an XML file that points to the images. I plan on improving it later but for now I just want it to cycle through a set of images, resize them if they're too big or small, and show a loading bar while the image is loading. It works fine if I test it in the Flash IDE or standalone Flash Player, but if I drag the SWF into Firefox or Safari, the loading bar refuses to show up. I also tried publishing to an HTML file and that didn't work either. I figured there could only be two different reasons why it wasn't showing up - either it wasn't being added to the stage, it wasn't being made visible after it's initially set to invisible. I decided to comment out the part of the code that make it invisible to begin with the loading bar showed up, but it wasn't showing how much of the image had been loaded when it changed to a new picture. Here's my code:
[Code]...
For some reason the pictureLoading function isn't being called when I test it in any browser. I've seen the loading bar randomly pop up a few in times in Safari 4 but then I try closing the window and testing it again and I get nothing. Can anyone help me figure this out? About:plugins in Firefox says I have Flash Player 10.0.22 installed, and I'm using Flash CS3 in OS X.

We've only successfully got this flash slideshow to resize correctly up until it goes to the #2 slide. I've looked all over the net, including this forum, many other have similar problem with resizing and scaling their movie clip to the full browser with correct aspect ratio, but most of them all involve a single video MC only. In my case, it's a bit more complicated which involves several pictures, masks, along with a pre-loader. Here's the FLA file. [URL]. Basically in a nutshell i am trying to make a website with an animated flash background that will scale to the user browser size according to the increase and decrease in browser width. exactly like you would see here on samsung's website [URL]. We know that it has something to do with the resize listener code. but we just can't overcome this glitch.

i've seen about making custom cursors are all the same...
Mouse.hide();
cursor_mc.startDrag(true);
that's all good and stuff but you can't use them... or at least i can't...
i'm making an Escape styled game and i need to be able to change my mouse repeatedly depending on what object i click on... but once i've made my custom cursor it no longer acts like a cursor... i was thinking maybe because the real cursor is on top of the custom one... so it's only ever clicking that...
say i need a "hammer" to smash a mirror in my game
i can use this
Mouse.hide();
cursor_mc.gotoAndStop("hammer")
cursor_mc.startDrag(true);
but how do i make it so the mirror doesn't break unless ("hammer") is selected??

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a custom mask to work on a project I'm creating.
The mask I'm trying to use is applied as a pixel mask on a layer in the photoshop doc I'm working off, but I can't seem to figure out the proper way to get that layer mask imported into flash, to then compile into my .swc and be called from actionscript. (I'm coding in Flex)
Whats the proper workflow for getting a pixel mask imported from photoshop so that when I call:
container.mask = myMask;
It'll show up as the shape I want, and not just a square box the size of my shape?

I have a FLV with two Cue Points that I have created:
1. Music
2. Remote Access
[URL]. So this code works perfect with a componant button but I can't make it work with a normal one. Why? What is so different about them. Why can't I make a normal button and give it the same name "my_button". Why can't I make a custom button work?

I have a custom class the extends ComboBox. In it I set the textField style to embed fonts and use a custom textFormat. If I put this into a flash file all by itself, it works fine. But as soon as I put it into my actual project, it no longer works. I can't figure out why!
I can't really upload the source, so I was just curious if anyone had ideas as to what I might try to get it to work.
I have created a font symbol in the library for the font I want and exported it. And as I said, it works fine in an empty flash file, just not in my actual project.

I am trying to get this dragger to work on the play head of my audio player. I get it to drag but when i let go it jumps back to the place it was before. You may need to change the sound file to get it to work but I have attached all other files needed to get it to work.
var XMLLoaded:XML = new XML();
XMLLoaded.ignoreWhite = true;
var timesLoaded:Number = 0;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth);
var sound_mc:Sound = new Sound();

my issue here is if you use this component you will see that the text is bunched up into a very small area. It does not fill the entire width of the linkButton.

One of the the most annoying errors to get is the "duplicate function definition" error! Flash doesn't want to see the same function twice... But what about the same function used in two different sections (labels) of one site? I've got two different slideshows in two different sections of my site, and I need the same function called out for each. The function is function nextImage():void If I remove it one, that slideshow doesn't work (remains fixed on image 1 of the slideshow).. if I keep it in, nothing works! I had wanted to use the same script for both slideshows, but forget that! So, I found another script for a different type of slideshow.

So we have a component we have written ourselves that deals with text display and translation between languages, reading translations from a file. Ideally what we would like to do is have this component be compatible with any font we can embed in the main .swf's library. What's the best way to do that?
Currently we are going down the route of having our component have an attribute for the font name, lets say 'Font1'. We drag the component into the .FLA file we want and then add a new font to the library called 'Font1' and set it to the typeface we want. This is proving to be inconsistent and problematic which implies it's not really an ideal way of doing it.
Is there anyway to achieve the feature we want? The key is flexibility, we want to easily support languages (hence the component) but we don't want design to be limited in their font selection. Its not practical to embed a range of fonts in the component for example, as it adds to file size and is restrictive.

I'm creating a custom component (based on ComboBox) and overriding some base methods. Recently I've found it acts weird when I set it's width in percents, rather than a fixed width. It tends to continuously call the commitProperties method and fail in the end. When I set it's width to fixed value - all works like a charm. What am I missing to implement? Here's some code ..
override protected function commitProperties():void {
super.commitProperties();
//some stuff ...

I've had an issue with using Facebook's Share feature.
The user experience on the shared content below is just completely unclear (even when I tested some clarified language: e.g. "click here"). Users simply don't know what to do: they often either click "Like," or they comment with something along the lines of "I support you."
According to the documentation, it is possible to share Flash content in these posts. I'm hoping I can create a "Support" button as an SWF button.
Is it possible to dynamically create such an SWF with a custom *href? Will my use case work on Facebook?

I am trying to use the Flash + Set the browser to a desktop agent on the Galaxy Tab.
mWebview.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101019 Firefox/3.6.11");
mWebview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
So the issues is, when the UserAgentString param is enabled, flash player wont load as many websites like Iplayer don't recognise the browser in the WebView.
This may be a bug in the Samsung browser. Anyone have any desktop agents that the WebView will accept whilst enabling flash?
