ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Find External Pic Width
Oct 15, 2004
How can I get the width of an externally loaded picture? I have this:
Code:
pic_mc.loadMovie("images/pic.jpg");
pic_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._width) {
trace(this._width);
}}
But it is not working. I've also tried calling this.getBytesLoaded/Total within the onEnterFrame and as pic_mc.getBytesLoaded alone, but it returns 4 and my picture is 40k. I've also tried pic_mc.onLoad, but it never advances. I think it is trying to get the width before it loads, but how do I prevent that?

I have loaded in an external swf file and it works fine.
However, when I get the width dimensions of the movieclip that is housing the external swf file it gives me a '0' for the width.

How can I find the width of an external jpg BEFORE it's been loaded into my movie? I can easily find the width of it AFTER loading by loading it into an empty movie clip and returning the width of this AFTER the jpg has loaded using the _width command. But what I want is to find the width BEFORE loading.I have tried "trace(1.jpg._width);" but this returns undefined, obviously as 1.jpg is not an object from my library, it's an external file. Any other ideas anyone?!

I am creating an upload and view function for my canvas website. The website lets you upload an image and view what it would look like on the wall. As the images are dynamically loaded I need to find the width of the image so that I can position it in the correct place.
The dynamic images are loaded into an empty movie clip called _root.canvas_preview
The code below works fine for finding the width of jpeg's when loaded into the canvas_preview movie but returns no value when the images are gif's, PNG etc. Does anyone know why this is or could suggest another way of finding the width of a dynamic movie clip. I am using Flash 8[code]...

I have a small issue in ActionScript 2.0. I want to know the stage width and height for external SWF file. I used the following code:
var loader:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('loader', 1);
var obj:Object = new Object();
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

What I want to happen is a movieclip of text aligns 20px to the right of the loaded img, similar to what padding does in css, the code I am using is: textFields._x = (picture._width+20); textFields is the movieclip of text and the image is loading into picture
What actually happens is the the text aligns to picture._width but before the image the image has loaded or I am not telling it the right place to look for ._width
I'll include the .fla in for convenience

Trying to do a scroll effect of some images I am loading in from an xml file. Problem is I need to limit the amount of scroll based on the width of the images - the number of images is controlled by the client and can vary. The problem is the actionscript does not seem to be able to detect the width of the combined images - heres the scroll code...

It's showing the whole animation's width and height but I want only stage width & height?

Suppose I have a (Spark) label. What is the best way to find the length of the text in it? I looked at the myLable.measureText("bla bla") method but it says: To measure text in Spark components, get the measurements of a spark.components.Label or spark.components.RichTextfter looking around I cannot find what this is refering to. I tried myLabel.measureWidth() but this does not return anything usefull (it frequently returns zero). Note: I am explicitly setting the width like this:<s:Lable width="{globalWidthVariable"} .../>If the text overflows I would like to increse the globalWidthVariable to the size of the text.

I have purchased an image gallery program that works fine but I am struggling to make a very minor modification. I have asked the author for assistance but previous requests have met with no response so I am also asking my question here. This program has most of its logic in an external AS2 file. I have made some small changes to this file and want to save it under a new name. However, that would also require me to change the reference to the external AS2 file from within the fla file. That's where my problem lies. I can't find any code in the fla that contains such a reference.
If I try to publish an swf without this file in the required location it causes a compiler error thus proving that there must be a reference somewhere to that file. However, doing a search for this AS2 file in the 'current document' when viewing the fla file in Flash CS4 produces no results. Where else could this reference be hidden?

I'm am trying to load an external swf file using a different swf that is on a different domain. I have noticed that it is possible to use addChild on the external swf, but when I try to get its contents width and height using contentLoaderInfo I get a security sandbox error.it is possible to fix it by usingSecurity.allowDomain("*") andSecurity.allowInsecureDomain("*") in the external file.And now it's get tricky, the external swf file is a file that users upload to my site so I don't have control on the code so I can't add the "allowDomain" part.The second swf (the host file that loads the external file) is a file that I let others to embed on their site.The intresting thing is that when I share the host swf on facebook there is no problem, and I don't even need to add the code for "allowDomain" on the external file.I it makes a different, I use HTTPS protocol to access to the external swf

I it makes a different, I use HTTPS protocol to access to the external swf. I tried to load the crossdomain.xml file, but no luck. What can I do? the only data I need to get on the external swf is its width and height to scale it to the host file.

I'm updating a Flash program that has 3 different txt containing code. The FLA has different parts in the program that calls upon these file, but when I try to export to SWF to test the program, I get a compiler error, saying those files can't be found.
All of the files have been transferred from another computer, so I don't know some directory extension is broken, but the script that refers to the text files, doesn't include a directory address, just the name of the respective file it's calling on.

I have an app that "loadmovies" a slideshow.swf in a sub-folder. THis sub-folder also contains an xml file and numbered jpgs.But when I run the main app, and click on the button to load the sub SWF files, the images do not appear. I assume it is a directory issue.
But if I run the slideshow.swf directly from it's folder, the images appear fine.I am using the xml_photogallery from this site for the main actionscript, is there something I can change here to point to the jpgs path?

I am working with a cms tool, and I can't get my swf to find my external css file. Is there anyway I can embed the css in the swf without calling an external file? This is what my action script looks like, and it works from my desktop, but everytime I bring the swf into the cms tool, it doesn't work.

I'm loading an external video player SWF into a MC, but once loaded the size of the SWF is always wrong and for some reason takes up the whole stage area.
So i want to set the width and height of the SWF thats loaded. If i set the MC width/height then once the SWF loads it's no longer that size. So i have to have some kinda code, that says once the SWF has been loaded, to resize it to 360x240 pixels. [code]...

We sometimes get swfs at my job that doesn't match our standard banner width and height. We only have the swfs and not always able to get hold of the *fla.So we want to load the swf into our different standard banner size and show it.
How do I load the swf into a new *fla that has my standard stage width:995 and stage height: 150? Without distorting the swf to much. Swf could be loading into a MC or loading directly onto stage.I tried the loadMovie and loaded the swf into a empty MC. But I can't set the MCs width and height.
