I have an app which takes data from php - MYSQL, loads into flash and now im just displaying it using attachMovie to use an MC from the library..In this data there is a imageurl stringI want to use the imageurl string as the loader components content path. I have done some tests offline and using something like
Code:
_root.image.contentPath = "images/2.jpg";
Works fine.

why a ComboBox component wouldn't work if it's in a movieclip brought in with attachMovie? When I click on the combo box, the menu drops down like normal, but no matter what I click on, it goes blank. Just spent a lot of time searching the net for an answer, found a few suggestions but nothing has worked.The combo box works fine if it's placed on any timeline in my main movie, but when it's in a movieclip that is attached with attachMovie, it stops working.
View 2 RepliesI'm having problems with this flash project. I have a folder with a swf file and in it you have like 5 Loader components which in their content path directs to perticular pictures in that folder. It works fine offline, you know I open the swf file and you can see the pictures.When I insert this swf file in dreamweaver and upload the site it doesnt work. Yea you can see the swf file, but not the images. In Safari you have this activity window, where you can debug and see what the problem is. Apprently for some odd reason it says that the images are not found, because it's looking in the wrong directory.
View 4 RepliesThe progress bar doesn't work if the .swf movie that's being loaded is being loaded into another movie. If the loader is on the main stage it works fine both in testing and on the internet.For example, I created a parent movie and a child movie with a loader and progressBar. The child movie works perfectly by itself. If I load the child movie into the parent movie the progressBar doesn't work.
View 3 Repliesim working in a galerie of pics and found a problem with the component loader, using firefox everything is ok but with Internet Explorer the first time the galerie loads the thumbs at the left are too small not being resized by the component loader.the galerie is here . note if you refresh the page once the thumbs shows at the correct size.i have the component loader inside an mc , and then to create the thumbs i load dinamically these mc's using attachMovie, every loader has the properties autoload =true,scaleContent =true and the contentPath is defined just after the attachMovie.
View 4 RepliesI have a loader component on my stage that I load 30 or so different external swfs into. Their stages are all exactly the same size as the loader. But one external swf has an image that extents outside it's stage size, AND it is this that gets rescaled (shrinks) when loaded into the loader. How can I fix the size of just this one external swf?

I'm trying to attach a scroll bar to a loader component and it's not working. I don't want to use the scrollpane because its shows the outline around the box. Is it possible to get a UIscrollbar attached to a loader component?
View 8 RepliesI have a flash file for a website section. I inserted a Loader component component to load a .swf file, and set the "scaleContent" property (in the Component Inspector) to True, but the .swf loads tiny, like a thumbnail. I also set the minimum dimensions (400x300), but this seems to have zero effect. I also have the size of the loader component set to 424x350. I have played with both sets of these numbers to no effect.
Here is where I've uploaded the file for testing: [URL] If you click any 1 of the 4 images, it will load 1 of 4 .swf files within (but very small).
Furthermore...the size of the embedded videos is not always consistent. Sometimes, after re-uploading the main file, Some of the 4 videos will be correctly sized, but if visited more than once, they return to being small. Very weird.
P.S. I have attached a screen capture of the Flash program, showing the component inspector and properties.

I am creating a photo gallery using the loader component, however some of the jpgs are around 240k so I want to add a custom preloader. The issue I am having trouble with is... how do I set up a preloader that I have made to activate when the loader component loads a new jpg via the myLoader.contentPath = "sample.jpg"???
I am using a sliding thumbnail gallery w/ a static main image behind.
Anyone have a tip for settingup a preloader for the loader? Never had much luck making preloader.
I am using the loader component to place images on the main timeline.My goal is to use a folder with multiple images.How can I modify the AS 2.0 code from myLoader.contentPath = "image.jpg";?I know it should start with:myLoader.contentPath = myVariable;How do I define myVariable to mean the path of the folder with multiple images?The folder will contain 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.

View 1 RepliesI used syntax I found here AS3: add event listener to loaded swf
[Code]...
MySWF loads without problem. It doesn't really returns the class mySWF so I wonder if this is really the right syntax. And actually I don't receive anything. I am of course dispatching custom event from mySWF. Flash seems really a nightmare to cope with custom events in practice compared to other platforms.

View 1 RepliesI am building a series of videos(MOV) that going to be played using Flash. So I have a TreeView component that gets populated from a well defined XML document that has all the video names as nodes. My use of this setup is to have the user select a link and the appropriate video comes up to play. I have a loader component also set up, but I want to link the TreeView's output (or user selection on TreeView) to the Loader, so that the corresponding video plays.
Can i call the video directly ? (Assuming its going to be a FLV4 file?). If I create the entire video in flash (create the product demo in flash) can i call the resulting swf ? Here's an update:

I have multiple "Loader Components" placed in a grid that are working great for loading external JPEG's. However, when I publish my file the "Loader Components" load each image randomly (I assume because they load the smallest file in size first then next largest and so on). How do I load the content of multiple "Loader Components" in a specific sequence?
Here is the script I have so far:
////"Thumb1" is the instance name of the first "Loader Component" in the grid.
Next is "Thumb2", then "Thumb3" and so on
Thumb1.load()
if (Thumb1.percentLoaded >= 1 ) {
Thumb2.load();}
if (Thumb2.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb3.load();}
if (Thumb3.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb4.load();}
if (Thumb4.percentLoaded >= 1) {
Thumb5.load();}

View 1 RepliesI have my swf (embedded in a JSP page) deployed in Sun Application Server. My swf contains a Loader component which loads image through accessing the url of my servlet. This servlet of mine returns an image. Now, when i try it inside our network, it works both for IE and FireFox. But when i try it on an external network, the Loader loads the image for IE but it doesn't for FireFox. I'm doubting it is an acess problem since it works in IE.
View 4 RepliesUsing the MovieClipLoader class, what is the difference between loading the external files into a Loader Component or into an empty movie clip. Will one be quicker? They both worked for me, but I've read using the Loader Component is better. Can anyone confirm this? I would think that avoiding components would make things faster/less file size.

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to repopulate a list when you select a new category from a drop down component.
So far i can populate the category drop down and i can also populate the list box from a default dir but i can't seem to get the list to change when you select a new category.
this is the category script that populates the drop down (this is working fine except that when i change the category i want the list box (bgList) to repopulate with the new location files):
ActionScript Code:
loadCat ="textures";
if (_url.indexOf("http") != 0) catFilepath = "xxxxxxx/backgrounds/";
else catFilepath = "xxxxx/backgrounds/";
