ActionScript 2.0 :: Image Slideshow - Setting Preloader XScale Properties?
Jul 7, 2010
I've got an image slideshow, and a preloader for each individual image. I want the preloader BAR to be dynamically assigned the width of the banner, which is defined in a variable. Here are my preloader settings and function call:
ActionScript Code:
/****PRELOADER SETTINGS****/
progressBar._width = myVars["BANNER_WIDTH"];
progressBar._height = 2;
progressBar._visible = false;
progressBar._xscale = 0;
[Code] .....
Basically, what is happening is. The "progressBar" width is being defined as the variable BANNER_WIDTH, but when the _xscale property is run in my preloading function, it doesn't care what the banner width is. So what I want to say is. I want you to _xscale according to what is being loaded, but I don't want your _xscale to exceed BANNER_WIDTH's width. I don't know how to do this and keep the preloader accurate. I can only save as CS4, CS5.

I have made a random image loader for a slideshow, but the preloader does not work for it (I grabed the preloader from a previous website I made) Is there a way to preload the images or the slideshow and/or have the next image pre-load while the current image is playing. I have attached a zip file of the random image loader

I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.

i'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?

I'm completely new to this forum, and would like to ask your help for one issue. I am working on an interactive flash map, I was able to set all the countries borders with the help of fireworks (awesome tool), and import them back to flash and set each country as a button. I would like to set all of the buttons to have the same properties for example : All the buttons have default red color, and will have a mouse hover frame that will change the color of the button to blue. I DO NOT want to set each button manually, because I would like to have the choice to change the mouse hover color to a different one, and would like to avoid passing each button and changing each one's mouse hover frame.
Is there a way I can built a template of a frame, and for each button set its mouse hover frame as the template frame I built ? And then if I make any changes to the template frame, all of my buttons would be automatically updated ?

I want to open a new internet window using actionscript on a button but I also want to control the characteristics of that window when it opens:
1. I want it to be a specific size - 180 x 200
2. I want all the standard page elements removed - the scrollbar, browser tools etc - so there is just a box to close it.
3. I want it to be centered on the screen
Can I get this much detail with actionscript regarding the new window when I open it?

i've heard you shouldn't use eval anymore because it's deprecated, and that you should use this[object]._property instead, but it's not working for me--am i doing it wrong?

I already have an array set up with a navigation and tween on the MC's when the navigation is pressed. My question is, how would I apply a simple automated play to it. The functions are already there that make the navigation bring up my corresponding MC, i just need some autoplay to it.
Here is my source:
Code:
this.scrollIcons = function(p_offset:Number) {
// Scrolls the icon list
this.setIcon(this.currentIcon + p_offset);

how to set default property values for objects that are being created in a loop.
In the example below, these propeties are the same for each object created in the loop: titleTextField.selectable, titleTextField.wordWrap, titleTextField.x
If you pull these properties out of the loop, they are null because the TextField objects have not been created, but it seems silly to have to set them each time.
var titleTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
titleTextFormat.size = 10;
titleTextFormat.font = "Arial";

I have a button function the launches a small movieClip (like a window). Inside this movieClip is your typical keypad.
Code:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class Login extends MovieClip{
[Code].....
I'm trying to next a series of keypad buttons inside the new loginBox instance, so they'll be referenced as loginBox.key1 etc etc.
I want to set their x/y coordinates before they are added to the stage (loginBox.key1.x = 23) , but obviously they don't exist yet.
I'm missing the way to get around this. The very last line of the above code is my hack attempt so far, and it's still causing me problems.
If you have 5 or 6 different components in your library that you want to put inside of eachother from *.as files

I created a movie clip symbol with a user interface in it, using the standard components. It contains various components that I draged on the stage. I named the instances (e.g titleLabel). Then I created an ActionScript class for that user interface. Under the linkage properties of the symbol I specified that class. In the class itself, i declared the attribute "var titleLabel:Label". I thought this would be the same instance from the symbol? But: Trying to set the text of the Label AFTER the movie was dynamically added to the parent does not work. I cannot access any properties.
Here is the example:
My Class for the user interface:
Code:
import mx.controls.*;
class Information extends MovieClip {
var titleLabel:Label; //this is the same instance name as in the symbol

I'm fairly new to ActionScript 3.0 so forgive me if this question is easy, but I'm having issues with my portfolio slideshow. I have a few thumbnails and when you click on one the image slides in from the right. That part is fine. What I really want is for the user to click on a different random thumbnail and have the current image slide out as the new image slides in. My code so far:

In the following code I set my preloader to play an swf. If I test the preloader inside or outside the flash author environment it plays the swf. If I change the swf to a new file name and resave the flash file with a new name it won't play the new swf. I am using FlashMX 2004 Prof.
Code:
/* First thing to do is set the stage size of this movie at the same size as your "to be loaded" movie, and re-position the display elements to your liking. Also set the same framerate as your movie. Then replace "YOUR.swf" in 2 of the lines below, with the name of your movie. Last, make sure your present movie is cleared of any preloader.*/
// Hides displayed elements
this.reelmc._visible = false;
this.loadbar._visible = false;
percent_display = "";

I have a simple slide show that just used timeline tweening(no actionscript) named slideShow.swf.I have another swf named loadSS.swf that I load slideShow.swf into this file has a preloader in it.I have a 3'rd swf named loadLoadSS.swf that simply loads loadSS.swf.The preloader in loadSS.swf works fine when I run it standalone.When I run loadLoadSS.swf the slideshow runs but the preloader doesn't.I don't want the preloader to run on the final destination because it's a website with a long timeline and many levels and the slideshow will be shown in many places and it just gets complicated. If the slideshow can just provide it's own preloader life will be much simpler.[code]

I'm having a buch of pictures of different height and width, which have to be loaded into different movieclips, and resized to 'bout 100px * 100px (so they're all the same size ~> thumbnails)
The problem width xscale and yscale, is that you have to specify the amount the movieclip/image resizes, in percentages instead of in pixels.
is there ANY way you can resize a dynamically loaded JPEG to EXACTLY 100*100 pixels ?
Here's my code (which doesn't work):
Code:
movieMain.thumbsHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("afbeelding" + j, j);
imageHolder = movieMain.thumbsHolder["afbeelding" + j]; imageHolder.loadMovie(path);
imageHolder._y = j * 200;
imageHolder._height = 100;
imageHolder._width = 100;

Where in my program files, I can find the class that calculates the _xscale value? I try to generate it for a class file. It would even be better if I could import the existing script, because there is always a small difference after the comma.
