I've got a strange issue with a Flash site I've built not loading images properly in Chrome on a PC. The images are all hosted on the same site, but either take ages to load or not at all. It's a rather odd bottleneck it seems.
Flash will ONLY load when it becomes into view on the screen For example, it won't load a Flashmove that is at the bottom of the page INSTEAD: it will ONLY load when that part of the screen comes into view
- Older Flash, ver 7 and below, this isn't a problem - Newer Flash, ver 8 and above: problem
I built a website in Flash (CS5/AS3) and published it to a .swf and .html file. I then uploaded to my host and tested. My site displays fine in Firefox and IE, but appears as an empty page when attempting to view in: The site will load, but isn't visible for me until I double click in the browser window or minimize/maximize the window... The site also loads fine if I access it through a hyperlink. This one's really got me confused! Any more ideas?
I have a problem. I have flash application which loads data from XML files. When I start this application in Google Chrome all XML files loads except one, the largest (100kB).
My flex application has a very bad load time (approx 5 to 8 wasted seconds) but only for FF and IE, Chrome appears fine.I've determined there is some kind of useless idle time before the application's initalization event fires. This is not just my development box, it happens everywhere. It is consistent across Flash version, OS and browser versions too. I've tried multiple. Chrome consistenly works very fast, IE and FF have this strange lag.However locally, whether via localhost or remote IP, it doesn't have this issue. I'm sure you'll think it is the download time, but my SWF is very small (400K) and I've purposely made external images that are very small. I also prefetch the images via JavaScript, and firebug reports the the cache is used later. The download size can't really justify the wait time. Not to mention, why is it so much faster in chrome? Is chrome really that fast downloading images and SWF files?
Also, minimal JavaScript is called from Flex, and I've more or less ruled out that is the issue.So it isn't Chrome's super fast handling of JavaScript.I don't see any large load times with Firebug.I see JavaScript excute in the browser inline during a page load, but then the appliation init within the SWF doesn't fire for about 5 to 8 seconds later.I don't see why flash on Chrome is so much faster, nor what could be taking so long for Flash to kick in.Tried the Flex Profiler, but memory usage spikes AFTER the bad load time.Otherwise, I don't know enough or see enough to recognize a problem with it.
I am trying to load multiple images into a scene and then cycle through the images one at a time.So, here are the essentials what I've put together in AS3:First I set up a counter and a Loader
[code]....
Then, after loading a list of images from an XML file, I call a function that I called "createImages". This function then takes the list of images and creates a bunch of loaders:
[code]....
So far, so good! I now have a bunch of loaders each with a different name "img1","img2","img3" etc.
I am using actionscript 3. I can load an image in a class but how do Iload a number of images eg 4 images that animate.?These 4 images are a walking sequnce of a character. I am unclear after googling an loading multi images in as3( just love google).
Loading a single image I load this into a loader Once loaded I load the image into a bitmap and add to a sprite I then add the spite to the stage Q)Now for 4 related images I load 4 loader or 4 sprites or 4 bitmaps or do every thing 4 times?I want to do collisions eventually and I need bitmaps but bitmaps seem useless to use other than collisions.Googling for answers isnt helping me clarify this!
I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?
I have successfully dynamically loaded Jpegs into my flash document(using PHP), but then I have another small problem.When I dynamically load the image (example: image_icon_bluesky.jpg) I then need to tell the MC that is holding the loaded image that it needs to do this...
on (release) { _root.image_bluesky.alpha = 100; }
SO basically every time a new image is loaded in my sort of "loop" script. I need to tell the image that it needs to put specific code onto the MC using specific "image" details for that specific image.
I hope this is clear. Basically what I'm trying to do.On my flash stage I already have MC's that have their alpha properties set to "0". Lets say there are 3 images. One MC is called Blue, other is called Red and the last one is called Yellow.Now using AS + PHP I have dynamically loaded 3 Jpeg's .
[Code]...
and so on for each image....I have tried to explain this as well as I possibly can. I just wanna know if this is possible or if there is a simple way of doing it
I've got a Flex/as3 application that is embedded into my webapp. Currently we're embedding images into the swf and loading them like:
Code:
[Embed(source="images/foo.png")] [Bindable] public var foo:Class;
There are two things I'm trying to accomplish. The first is the images in the swf are part of a pool of images that the whole web app uses. Currently i have 2 sets of images, one set are images that the rest of my app uses, and the other are duplicates that are used by the swf.
The reason for that is build related (ideally, we could fix this, but fixing the build process is something bigger than i want to tackle at this point in time) I have a ton of images to load up and instead of having a giant ugly if/else block, i was hoping to make a naming convention for the icons, so i could just build a string at runtime and use that to load an image. Is there a way to look up embedded images via a path, or image name? It seems that images/foo.png is floating somewhere around in the swf. Can i get to it without using foo?
Im currently making a flash website. and trying to make it as light as possible.so decided to load images dynamically.Im using UILoaders.I drag the UILoader from components into the main timeline and set the source as 1.jpg, because the image is in the same folder as the .fla file.and scale - false
Tested the movie but nothing shows up. i guess i need some coding? but i dont know where to add the codes. on the same frame? or in frame 1? i also need the image to fade-in.the end result im looking for is, as i click a button. 3 images show up at the same time, fading in.
I have about 20 images. And on click I need the images to load in to a MC. I've used this script to each frame. (shown are example scripts are placed in two frames.
1. The stop command dosen't seem to function. It keeps on restarting.
2. Getting an error "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type flash.display:Shape."
I have some AS2 code which loads up the images via an xml file. I have been asked to eliminate XML entirely and have images be loaded from with in the library. Aside from images, there are other xml nodes such as:image_name, image_description and such.What would be the best way going about eliminating the XML and getting the code to load images and other related info from the library.
I am building an application built by external action script 3.0 files only. I want to load 5 images on a UILoader using the data providers of a combobox, both located in the library.[code]...
I am using AS3 and OOP to load multiple images, 1 image per class but I cant do this!The constructors dont take paramaters?I want this but I cant do this
var li:atest1= new atest1("img1"); var li2:atest1= new atest1("img2"); var li3:atest1= new atest1("img3");
I got this demo Flash file which loads images through XML and adds different effects. Currently it's being used as a banner on a page. Now I have been asked to keep the effects but to embed to pictures inside Flash (so to get rid of the XML). how to change this to not read from XML. I stopped using Flash back in MX era... :S
I have a movieclip with a scroll pane. also a mc which i named a class with a 'delete' button and an image holder inside it. (linked as chosen_thumb_mc)For some reason, the thumbnails are not loading? I cant find out why because it says the code is correct.... Can anyone see what is wrong with my code?[code]
im trying to figure out how to load images thru XML. I can get one image to load to one MC named upperLeftmc.load_img, however, I have 5 more mc's on my main timeline that need different images loaded. One mc is called MidLeftmc.load_img, BottomLeftmc.load_img and so on. But how do I get these images loading into more than just my Upperleft mc? They all have to be different images too, so my xml looks like
PHP Code:
- <Projects> <Project ISBN="Upperleft_mc"> <Title>Schools</Title> <Text>This is a test text</Text>
I looked through the forum and couldn't find any thread specifying my problem. I bought a flash template from monster-templates.com and I change the pictures in the gallery folder (kept the same file names). When I test movie, the gallery works fine, but when I upload the site on the server it won't show my pictures. does anyone know what could be the issue? Below is part of the XML code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <content> <!-- general vars --> <section name="settings">
I'm creating a Photo Gallery, and i want to use a for to load the photos to the 100x100 pixels miniatures. Idk if there's a way to do that in as 2.0, but i usually work with that on C.Would be something like this:
ActionScript Code: for (i = 1; i < 16; i ++) { loadMovie ("photo[i].jpg", "miniatures.photo[i]"); }
I been checking out the tutorials on this site, very nice indeed must say but i didnt find any for the issue that im stuck with, on how to load images into a scroll bar. Is it anything like loading external text into scroll bars at all?
why doesn't flash load jpg images from the outside?why do i have to convert them to swf? i need them to be jpgs in a folder so that the user can change them without using flah or anything...
i made an XML gallery based on Kirupa's example. when the page is loaded i have all my thumbnails and the first image loaded but then every time press on a thumbnail it takes a bit for the image to load. is it possible first to load ALL the images the just fly by the previrew ??? is there a better way to load the gallery? [code]
in XML gallery , how we can load all images first so that rest of the slide show runs smoothly For example: I have placed 10 images in XML , when slideshow starts , all the effects not appears, because it waste time in loading each image on its turn I want to load all images first , then want to start the slideshow how i load all images at the start?
I want to keep the images from my app in a separate .swf file. So I embed them using the Embed tag. I know how to load the .swf, just need to use the Loader class. But, after that how can I retrieve a certain image from it?
