ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External JPEG Into Blank MovieClip
Jan 9, 2010
I have created a portfolio page (all flash) and am using the following code to load external jpegs. I've also created this button to take one back to the main area. The problem is, when I click on the back button, even though it does take me back to the main page, the image stays there. How would I modify the code to make that image delete itself or hide when the button is pressed?
Code:
// set up loader, an instance of MovieClipLoader, and use the main timeline ("this")
// to listen to and respond to its broadcast events
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);
// define what should happen when the jpg/swf is completely loaded
[Code] .....

I create a lot of flash galleries with image viewers, that have the standard thumbnail and large image type scenarioMy question would be to ask if there is anyway to prioritise the order that flash loads external jpeg images..... at the moment it wont load the main image until all the smaller thumbnails have been loaded... which sometimes can be up to a total of say 130 small images.Is there any code that you could use with loadMovie, to prioritse that download, pausing the previous smaller thumbs download, then continue to load again after?his way the user could still use the slideshow whilst the thumbs are loading instead of having to sit and wait...
The only thing I could think of, was perhaps add a loadMovie command during the loading thumbs loop that would execute after loading say 15 thumbnails, but then that would still 'block up' any further loading until the remain images were loaded.

I have a flash file that loads jpeg files and runs through each on the timeline. I have nav buttons to go back and forth. Here is the problem, all images load on frame 5 and I do this while another image is displayed so that they are loading in the background. I do this so that my initial file size is small, but I can load images in the background making the flash file appear to load quickly and loading other elements after it starts.
So all images load on frame 5, then I go frame by frame until I hit frame 11. If I click one of my nav buttons to go back to say, frame 7, the jpeg is gone and is no longer loaded. How to load jpeg files into the library, or at least, keep them loaded after they have loaded once? I have attached my fla file for reference. I had to rename the extension to eps, but it's a fla file, just rename the extension.

In what combination of as2 code would instruct a preloader to recieve bytes loaded and bytes total in addition to loading a external swf file into a blank movie clip? I've seen countless issues regarding the same problem but still haven't goten a clear answer. I dont want to use the video player component standard on Flash. I want a preloader to preload a external swf file and play it inside a movieclip.

Not loadMovie();
But how would you loadMovie(); for movieclips in the library? I don't want it on the stage, but rather a blank clip that loads whatever movieclip I tell it.

I'm using Flash MX 2004, and using the loadMovie() function to draw an external .swf file into a blank movieclip. My question is how the browser (let's assume Internet Explorer) caches this information. I know that after a Flash movie is loaded within an HTML page, the browser caches it, so that on the next load the movie appears nearly instantly from the cache. However, does it also cache the movie loaded using loadMovie(), or does it always redownload that external movie regardless?

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

Just trying to load and display a progressive JPEG with AS3. At this stage I do know how to load and display the jpg after it is loaded but I can't figure out how to display it progressively (ie: get something on the screen even before it is fully loaded).

I am a new forum user and new AS programmer (but an experienced OOP in C++/Java/.NET),now using Flash CS4 on a Windows XP Pro machine.Using pre-loader demos from the web I coded my first AS3 program, it actually works as expected with some SWF movies; but with others it fails to operate properly.What I wanted to do is to create classes for each type of movieclip I have (the movieclips are all 100 frames animations) and when I create the instances with "new" the classes would just load its corresponding movieclip content (A SWF file containing the 100 frames).
Well the first problem I ran into was that if the SWF file is from previous versions (AS2 say) it does not work. Just to let you know because that is not the prolem now.All the program is doing now is loading the external swf into a movieclip instance at the time the class is created, this part works fine always, and then listening to EVERYFRAME events just calls moveNext going from frame 1 to 100, and when I reaches frame 100 it plays backwards by calling movePrevious.
The program works fine with a SWF file I downloaded from the web, but because I am having a hard time finding long animations built with the current version of Flash I tried to create my own SWF files to test, etc... Now the problems:I have 100 frames that I import to the stage into a new movieclip, then I right click on that movieclip in the library and export this movieclip as SWF using Flash S4...which creates the SWF fine and which I can play in a player fine too.However the program fails with this Flash CS4 movieclip ! , for some reason it does not seem to react to the moveNext and movePrevious calls, it just plays from 1 to 100 and them jumps back to 1 again.

I would like to load jpegs externally and have them fade in with a simple preload bar at the bottom. When the forward button is pressed I would like the image to fade out and the next image to fade in. When the back button is pressed I would like the image to fade out and fade in the previous jpeg. I would like to do all of this using Actionscript

i'm making a simple portfolio site, and bringing in a series of jpeg files using a 'for' loop and the Loader class. once all the files are loaded in, i'd like to just be able to add, remove, tween, etc... the items from the stage as need-be by using instance names, such as movie clips or Sprites. but for some reason, i cannot seem to figure out how to have each image, as its loaded in, be separately accessable to me after the loop has completed.

I have created a flash gallery where I am trying to fetch all thumbnails and large images from external folders. I am using the following code to load image blow-ups in a container:[code]While this works offline, when I upload the files, the thumbs are fetched from the image folder but not the large images. If there was an issue with the path, then thumbs should also not load.

I am trying to dynamically load a progressive jpeg using actionscript 3. To do so, I have created a class called Progressiveloader that creates a URLStream and uses it to streamload the progressive jpeg bytes into a byteArray. Everytime the byteArray grows, I use a Loader to loadBytes the byteArray. This works, to some extent, because if I addChild the Loader, I am able to see the jpeg as it is streamed, but I am unable to access the Loader's content and most importantly, I cannot change the width and height of the Loader.
The cause of the problem is that until the Loader has completely loaded the jpg, meaning until it actually sees the end byte of the jpg, it does not know the width and height and it does not create a content DisplayObject to be associated with the Loader's content. My question is, would there be a way to actually know the width and height of the jpeg before it is loaded? I would believe this would be possible, because of the nature of a progressive jpeg, it is loaded to it's full size, but with less detail, so size should be known. Even when loading a normal jpeg in this way, the size is seen on screen, except the pixels which are not loaded yet are showing as gray.

I have a combo-box on the stage with a few items in the combo-box and also have corresponding JPEG/PNG image files. I need to display the appropriate image onto the stage based on the selection of the item in the combo-box. So, please I need ActionScript code or procedure to handle this using Event-Handling mechanism of MouseEvent.

I have built a horizontal scroller, you can see images there that go from left to rigth, what I wanted to do is when a user clicks on a thumbnail:
1)go to full screen mode
2)create an empty movie clip and load a jpg into it
I did it, but when I go back to the normal screen the empty movie clip is still there. How can I get rid of it when the user goes to the normal screen? it seems to be that when I load the jpg into the emptymovieclip the empty movie clip doesn't have the click property is that true?

note I have to change some file names and urls for company privacy.I am working on an online banner ad which tight size requirements. In order to stay under the file size, I want to load an external swf housed on our server into an empty movie clip on a button press. I have this working with the following code on a button:
on (release) {
loader_mc.loadMovie("location where swf file is housed");
}
I then want to unload this movie if a different button is pressed. However I am receiving the following error.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to file: XXXXXXXX halted - not permitted from "location where swf file is housed"
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
How can I unload this external swf file from my move? Again the external swf file is housed on our sever and the main swf file will be housed with the place we are advertising.

I am trying to build a menu, that loads external swf to target movie clip, in the code below it works if I remove the line target removeChild, but then if a press the other button, just put it on top, so my actual problem is that if I don't have anything loaded in target, this code doesn't work because it can remove child?
menu.btn_avanti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goseccion);
menu.btn_professors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, gofotos);
function goseccion(Event:MouseEvent):void{
var main:Loader = new Loader();
main.load(new URLRequest("seccion_basica.swf"));
target.removeChildAt(0);

I'm trying to load an external swf inside of my movie clip.
meter.loadMovie("external.swf");
I managed to get the above to work but as soon as I press a button in the external movie it reacts with my main movie! So a button in the external movie that makes the timeline go to frame 2 makes the main flash file to goto frame 2. Also, can you load external swf files that use external folders for content? Basically I have an interactive diabetes meter and it's all controlled via scripting ( I didn't create it ) but it has the main swf file which you load. However it references other folders and scripting files.

I�m making an image gallery. I want to load the large jpeg images externally. I wanted thumbnails at the bottom to fade up as the images load up, then when they are ready to be displayed, they are actually fully loaded and ready to be displayed and don�t take any more than a couple of frames to become visable, but this is eluding me.
I'm currently using Flash 10.0, and the mx.controls.loader from the flash components to load the images into, which works fine other than getting to it before the images are loaded. An Actionscript 2.0 that creates a loop over a few frames until the external image is loaded then moves on should enable me to get it done, but no luck so far.
I thought this would work:
if (this.getBytesLoaded()>=this.getBytesTotal()) {
gotoAndPlay("the label name on the next frame");
} else {
gotoAndPlay("the label name on the previous frame");
}
but it continues on the timeline even when the external image is not fully loaded yet.

imageLoader.load(req);
mc.addChild(imageLoader);

function image_func(e:Event):void {
trace("image laoded complete");
}
The above code is not working for loading complete.
