Does anyone know if Flash has a limitation on dynamically imported jpegs? I find that maybe 30% (maybe more) of the jpegs I have do not import into Flash (using LoadMovie).I think I read somewhere that you can't import progressive jpegs dynamically. Is that it? Or is there something else?
View 4 RepliesI have imported a SWF to my main timeline as I want to be able to use fast forward/rewind controls etc. I have imported it into a movieclip but when I test it, the Jpegs from the SWF are really wobbly. Is there any way to get around this?
View 1 RepliesI have a file that dynamically loads JPEGs in two sizes (thumbnails and zoom). There is nothing in the AS concerning sizing, only loading and positioning.The site looked fine and now the pictures all have jagged edges to them (it's stained glass and the leading looks edgy instead of smooth). The photos that are loading look smooth upon uploading.I have them Publishing as, Flash Player 8, AS 2.0, JPEG Quality at 100, only Protect from Import is checked, I'm working in Flash CS4 on a Mac.
View 7 RepliesWell onjce again I have been scanning the threads and cant find a direct solution to my problem, or at least I dont know how to implement it if I have :s Anyway what I am doing is this.I am doing the website for a furnitre company that has a large product catalog, around some 200 photos. In the main swf. I have all the thumbs and when I click on one thumb depending on what category it is, it will load the external swf. and also a variable that says which photo to show (which frame to go to).
for examplle if I click on a thumb of a bed it will load beds.swf with a photo value of 6, which will go to frame 6 in the beds.swf. Now in beds.swf I am attaching a movie clip with an instance name of beds dynamically into an mc called photo_holder using the attachMovie function.
The beds movie clip has 40 - 50 keyframes with an mc on each frame which then holds the bitmap. So the target to one photo would be _root.photo_holder.beds_attached.bed1 Then I have a gotoAndStop(photo); action where photo is the variable I loded from level0. the problem is the following.
I can add a preloader onto a scene before everything, however, I only know how to make the preloader load all the photos. I dont want to do this cause if the user wants to view one photo, they have to wait for all 50 high res photos of beds to load, of course, they wont have to wait for the next bed they click on but its still a pain.
I tried doing some tests last night using the getBytesTotal() function but it only seems to return a value if what I am targetting is in the same frame number where I have that action. Otherwise it returns undefined. Since this clip is loaded dynamically, I have no idea how to preload something that hasnt been called on yet. Or in other words, get the Total Bytes of a photo before showing it, or whatever. Its kinda hard to explain,

How to load a series of images locally from a folder and create a movie clip for each one dynamically?

View 2 RepliesI was wondering if there was a way to dynamically load JPEGs and read their width/ height attributes before they actually land on stage. I have tried it once wherein I hide the targetted movie clip and try to utilize the INIT functin to check for initialize. This works pretty good except that a little dynamic animation I need tends to act a little later than it should creating a bug if u proceed immediately.
View 4 RepliesBasically my code at the beginning of the movie queries the server for the file names of jpeg files that are to be loaded into sequential frames. The reason is that the user can enter file names into a database and the application plays them back without the user having to do any flash programming. Currently, my code is using a preloader in each frame along with some additional code to center the picture etc.
This is fine *but* I need all of the jpegs to load before the movie starts, not when the play head gets to each frame. I can't have any delay from one frame to the next. Delay in the beginning of the movie is ok. Can anyone help me with a method to dynamically load these jpegs completely before the movie starts playing?...once loaded they must be available for any frame to call immediately.
I have a gallery that reads an ms access database using asp and then loops through an array of records and duplicates an empty movieclip for each record. jpeg is then loaded into the movieclip and then a variable for the _x position is incremented and then the next one is loaded etc.I then use the same method to add the necessary labels for the images by duplicating a movieclip and adding a text fieldThis is all fine and produces a gallery of images but the problem comes when I try and position the labels according to the height of the image. I have tried every method I can think of to check the image attributes which are only available when it is fully loaded, but I keep getting a value of 0.
Code:
stop();
// Set variable holding image folder path
[code].....

View 4 RepliesI am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0. This code (which I think is the code to import an image onto the stage dynamically using AS3 code and convert it to MovieClip, so that I can access mouse_click events on the image present on the stage.) Actually, it is displaying nothing on output and no errors. Will it works good and is the code correct? I am new to AS3.0.
View 1 RepliesI made this flash CS3 project using Actionscript 2.0
I want to import some images in a folder to stage. The images are named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg etc.. All these images are 600px in width.
I used a movieclip as a container for these images.
Here's the code.for(i=0; i<3; i++){img_scroll.attachMovie("imgbar", "img"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());img_scroll["img"+i]._x = i * 600;img_scroll["img"+i]._y = 0;loadMovie(i+1 +".jpg", img_scroll["img"+i]);}
img_scroll is the movieclip that should contain the images. and imgbar is an empty movieclip.
When i run this code, only the last image is loaded. since i used i<3 in the for loop, only the 3rd image is loaded. its in the right place. (_x = 1800). The first and second images are not loaded...
PS: If i use _root.attachMovie, and _root instead of img_scroll everywhere, all the images are loaded perfectly and in place. But i want them to be inside the img_scroll movieclip. Because that will be animating.
I'm trying to write a gallery application in Flash (AS3). It uses a simple XML document to specify a series of images like this:
Code:
<Gallery name="foo">
<Image src="foo/1.jpg" />
<Image src="foo/2.jpg" />
[Code]....
I have a class which parses the XML and displays the images (which sit locally, relative to the .swf file accordiing to the 'src' properties in the XML above) in a UILoader instance. This works great until I move the .swf file somewhere else, as the images aren't part of the compiled file, and obviously it's now looking for them in the wrong place.
I understand that you can use [Embed] to embed assets into your code (this is how I include the XML document), but I can't use it to embed the images. Is there a way I can embed the images in my flash document, and address them using the src values obtained from my XML?
I am making a training video list on a web page. When a training video is clicked, the training video is played by an swf file on a new tab, and at the end of the video, the swf displays a web form to gather some data to be saved in MySQL db. The name of the training video is passed to the swf file as parameter to play the training video dynamically. When loading the training video dynamically in the swf, should I load the training video in the flv format file or swf format? The training video can be produced in swf and flv format. I noticed lots of web sites say that flv should be used. But I think training video in the swf format file size is smaller than the flv size. What is the advantage and disadvantage of loading the training video in flv format and swf format whith all other fators being equal?

View 2 RepliesI am importing a picture in flash and i found out that there is a difference between importing to the stage, and importing to the library...

The picture imported to the stage is sharper than the one imported to the library. is there a way to import that picture to the library without losing any resolution?
View 5 Replieslimits to number of SWFs that can establish local connection on MAC? The architecture is: One Manager ("server") and N number of other SWFs that communicate with the manager.When I embed more than 8 SWFs (manager + more than 7 dependents) and attempt to establish connection between them - only first 7 dependent swfs are capable to communicate with the manager on MAC (both Safary and FF). The rest are ignored. It doesn't seem to be an issue on PC where I went up to 20 and it worked (with some quirks of course). Is it a native behavior on MAC?
I did not check if number of connections is at stake (as opposed to number of swfs). There are 14 connections all together when 7 dependents are involved.

If I want to use the same camera for shooting stills, how can I ensure (within the code) the best quality for the result pictures?
View 1 RepliesI'm dynamically loading a CSS file and text file to populate a TextField. As far as the default styles are concerned, no problem!But as soon as I try stuff like p.title, the style is not applied. Is this a restriction of the CSS support that Flash/Flex offers? Do I have to resort to the "simpel-style-selectors" like ".title" or "p" in my CSS?
Works:
Code:
.title { color:#FF0000; }
Doesn't work:
Code:
p.title { color:#FF0000; }
ps: I know that Flash doesn't support everything that CSS has to offer, but I'm looking for confirmation of someone who can tell me for a fact that the above p.class-selector is not supported.
