I have made a noticeboard that loads jpegs dynamically. Problem is that if I need to resize the noticeboard the jpegs are no longer smooth or even readable.I've already posted about using the new force smoothing in CS3 but it seems to have no effect.Here are the examples of the noticeboard at 100% and then resized.
Original size
Shrunk down
As you can see the notices degrade pretty quickly.Here is the actionscript that generates the notices:
Code:
myNv.sendAndLoad("noteboardread.php", myNv, "POST");
myNv.onLoad = function () {
var x:Number = 0;
[code].....
However, it still doesn't seem to be smoothing the jpegs - is there anything else that can be done to make these more readable.
I'm loading an external .jpg and moving it across stage.if I was to do this with a .jpg already in the Library, the movement would look much better if I manually activated "allow smoothing" from the .jpg's properties.so I'm trying to do the same for the loaded picture.what I've done so far is loading the picture, wait until it's completely loaded and then convert the content of the loader to bitmap and setting the smoothing property of this bitmap to true....OR, this is what I'm trying to do.here's my code:
Code: var _loader:Loader; var _loaderArray:Array = [];
Trying to set the smoothing of a dynamically loaded, through XML, JPEG set to true using AS2. I've seen an example of that would do this with this code:
In my code I'm loading a series of products from an XML file. Each bit of information for each product gets loaded into a seprate array. I have a 'zoomy box' image, which loads an image, but at 200%, which I want to smooth...
The code: nZoompic1[i] = (childs.childNodes[EEE].childNodes[i].childNodes[18].firstChild.nodeValue); What the syntax would be for getting it to work?
Okay, so this little peice of code works perfectly. The author of this code has set the code up so it loads the file you want, and scales it to 150% and rotates it 15 degrees, the problem is, I cant see where in the code you can set what to scale it by or rotate,
In Flash, I can go into the properties of an image in the library and check 'allow smoothing' to enable resampling when the image is scaled or rotated.
How can I achieve the same effect for images loaded dynamically by the SWF from an external URL?
as you surely know, setting a picture in your library to "allow smoothing" makes it high quality while resizing, rotating, etc with it on the scene.
Now I'd like to know how to set this to a picture you externally load while playing, cause obviously you can't set its parameter "allow smoothing" to true in the library, it'll never be in your library...
I found one thing that draws a bitmap, copies the pict, etc, but it's very slow at usage. I need something faster but the quality of the image must be perfect.
I want somehow to apply smoothing for all dynamically loaded PNGs in my flash file. I have flash file that loads a lot of different images, and there are a lot of flash files like that, so I don't have an option to set smoothing on every bitmap by hand.
I was wondering, if there's perhaps some way to change smoothing to all instances of Bitmap class.
in flash there is a setting to 'allow smoothing' for images that are imported. how can i do this in AS3 so that the images i dynamically load are smoothed (because when i scale them they look bad).
I bought and installed a component and now the place I got it from is not giving support and their site has been pulled. The issues is that I can't figure out how to convert the loaded images into bitmaps in order to apply smoothing. Can someone look at the code in the attached .fla and give me a heads up as to where to add i
I'm trying to make smoothing for images which loaded with loadclip(). I found function for smoothing and it works but only for movieclips located in _level0, for example _level0.mc, but I want to smooth children MC, for example _level0.parent_mc.children_mc and then image just disappears. Smoothing function:
here = this; // trace(here) == _level0 bg_smooth = function (bg):Void { var bg_depth:Number = bg.getDepth(); var bg_name:String = bg._name; var bg_parent = bg._parent; [Code] .....
Also tried to write _level0.parent_mc['children_mc'] instead of parent_mc.children_mc and to make here == _level0.parent_mc - still no luck. If I remove bg_smooth (element) on load complete then all works fine but of course smoothing disabled.
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.
I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie. I have 3 movies 'page flip4', 'pageflip4-2', and 'page flip 4-3' . I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
Code: on (press) { loadMovieNum("page flip4.swf", 1); }
I'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
I have an external swf (sub.swf) that loads into my main swf. The external swf has buttons of its own...that I would like to use to load additional external swf's in its place. I click on the buttons and nothings happens.
My current code is as follows:
All of the following code is in my main.swf ================================ //Location where the external SWFs will load var Xpos:Number=18; var Ypos:Number=10;
[Code]...
External swf has no code except for a stop action.
I pieced this current code based on various articles I've found on the net.
MainMove.swf is doing a loadmovie of SecondMovie.swfThe Button that loads SecondMovie.swf also disables other buttons in MainMovie.swfon (release) { _root.intro_btn.enabled = flase; loadMovieNum("SecondMovie.swf", 2);How do I Re enabled the Buttons in MainMovie.swf from a Button within SecondMovie.swf???
I have 2 EXTERNAL movies being loaded with initial load of my site into my main.swf, one of which (movingbg.swf) is being loaded with a preloader. The problem is that my other movie (menubar.swf) is loaded before my first movie. I think I should use the _visible property to solve this and here is what I have so far...
Greetings. I've been doing this tutorial. [URL] And worked pretty well. In order to adapt to my needs i made it a movie with a drag and drop parameter to be loaded in another movie (with loadMovie or loadMovieNum). The problem is than the movie loads, drags but doesnt drops. Even i tried with the example movie and nothing happens.
my problem is that i need to make a reisze, cause the screen resolution for other users. My main and news movie works perfect, but the others movies re-scale everything bigger. The problem of the external loaded movie is: this movie needs the funktion:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; Stage.align = "TL";
If i dont have this code inside the movie is not going to resize fullscreen into the main movie. Inside this movie im scalling photos and some mc's You can take a look what i mean under: [URL]
If you take a look to the bar where the Number of pictures (30) are you will see that the lower bar and the pictures is not going to scale to fill the full screen if i delete the this code;
My _root movie is nothing more than a interface with navigation buttons. When someone clicks a button another swf is loaded into an empty movie clip on _root.
My Problem:I understand loaders and use them all the time, however, I still to this day have never gotten a loader to work with loading an external movie into a currently playing movie. (ie: in my _root movie you press the "Searching" button and searching.swf is loaded into _root.contents --> contents is the empty movie clip)So anyways... where does the loader go? The only results I've ever had is as SOON as the loadMovie method is called the movie hangs until the entire movie clip is loaded. Then the loader runs... thus making it totally useless.
say i have a main movie, into this movie is loaded another movie on level_1.
is there any actionscript that allows a button inside the loaded movie control the main movie? i.o.w. can a button inside the loaded movie tell the main movie to go to another scene?
+ i am looking for code for that same button to unload the movie it is in itself..
I have a movie that opens up full screen and load an external movie into it. No problem there but I want the loaded movie to keep its original size and not resize with the full screen movie. In the screenshot, you see how the yellow external movie loads into the fullscreen green movie. The white rectangle is only for size reference (photoshopped it in) and is not in the actual flash movies. The yellow movie is supposed to be 800x125 pixels but resizes with the fullscreen of the green movie.
i want to make an presentation,, for which.. at frame i click a button on frame 9 it goes to frame 10 and plays.. like my script on frame 10 is below
[Code]....
and when i click another button to go frame 1 from the same page at 10,, placed beside the loading external swf ,, it goes,, but the loaded external swf file is not going ,, or the external file not cleaning,, not removing.
I have 5 buttons to load 5 different flv movies. What I try to do is to remove the loaded movie and run the new movie when the new button being clicked. Also, I am wondering anybody who knows how to create a lightbox effect in flash. I want the screen to be grey when the movie is on.
I have a flash program that is loading another flash file into a container movie clip. The flash movie being loaded has a dropdown that works perfectly when the movie clip is run by itself but when it's loaded into the parent movie, the dropdown doesn't even respond.
I'm made a flash movie[main movie 1] where another movie is loading using the "loadMovie()"[this is the movie2] command.my probblem is - when I'm trying to loadsound in to the second movie
Code: var mySound1:Sound = new Sound(this); mySound1.loadSound("music.mp3",true);
I have a scrolling/zoom in animation done in as3. At times the animation is jerky. I am wondering how I can possibly smooth this out. I am using several quite large mc's that are all being manipulate at the same time. Would it help to make mc's that are off the screen invisible until they are visually needed? I am very new to flash/as3 so I don't know a lot about what might slow down the animation. I am working in cs4. Here is a link to the page I am working on. It is mostly the "Harman" button that I am getting this jerkiness on and then only sometimes. Hover over the logo to expand the menu. I wonder if I just have too much going on at the same time?
