ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Images From Dynamic URL
May 15, 2004
I have 3 movieClips on the stage. I want this to load images from urls that I have withdrawn from a php script that randomly selects from stored urls in the database. I want to load one of these into each movieclip. Here is the code that I have, but it doesn't work. (Btw, this is on a frame of the movie)
PHP Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("generateQuiz.php?week="+_root.week);
loadText.onLoad = function() {
j = 1;
sortItOut();

I have written the following to send variables to PHP which searches a MySQL database and returns the results in XML. However for the life of me I cannot get the XML data loaded into the Movie Clips of my Flash site.Is there an obvious problem that I've overlooked?
ActionScript Code:
var imageDir:String = "Images/";
var getImage:XML;
var imageList = new Array();
var newPic:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I have a project where I'm loading some HTML into an HTML-enabled dynamic textbox, along with some images, using the img tag. The problem I have is that no matter what I do, the text tries to flow down one side of the image (depending on whether I have the image set to align 'left' or 'right'). I don't want this. I want the text to sit under the image, not flow around the side. I've tried everything I can think of, and I just can't seem to achieve this.

I was just wondering what are the pros and cons of using embedded images instead of dynamic loading? Because when making games on pure AS3 (without Flash IDE), its a pain to manually embed all the assets needed... That makes your code sloppy, besides you don't have control to automatically change the hud, for example, by only changing the external file.
But I heard that some sites only let you upload a single swf, so you can't have external images. Also I heard that some are worried about users downloading their art... But as far as I know, they can also download them if they hack the swf with a decompiler. Having it external, you can encrypt the image, and unencrypt it on the code, so if they try to download they will only get encrypted code.

i know there been a lot of poasts on this but none of them. I am duplicating a movie clip called "thumb" on my main timeline. they are named by number (1 to 233) within each clip i would like to load an image
[Code]...
the reason i have put in 10.jpg is just to get it loading one image into all clips. But its not loading the image into any. the trace is bringin back each MC's name fine when i remove the if(_name != "thumb"){ it loads the image into the duplicated original MC so im completely confused. this is the duplication script on the first frame of my Main timeline

I have written the following to send variables to PHP which searches a MySQL database and returns the results in XML. However I cannot get the XML data loaded into the assigned Movie Clips. I think the problem might be somewhere in the URLLoader.
var imageDir:String = "Images/";
var getImage:XML;
var imageList = new Array();
var newPic:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var thumbnailGroup:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var loadGallery:String = "getImage.php";
[Code] .....
The remaining script (not included) handles the loaded data but is there an obvious problem I have overlooked in the above?

I am using a loader (Loader.loadBytes()) to load multiple jpeg images (motion jpeg)continually whenever a new jpeg image is ready. However, when the mouse is moving over the loader, it seems to repaint everything including the background and causes the flashing. Is there a way to prevent this from happening without using the double-buffer concept? Is there way to stop repainting the background?
Is the problem caused by the images loading or mouse over? When the mouse is not moving over the loader, everything looks fine. However, when only a image is loaded by the loader, I think the display won't be flashing even though you move the mouse over it.

Currently, I use loadmovie to load a jpg into a movieclip. However, when the jpg is loaded, I believe that the top left hand corner of the jpg is in the middle of the clip and does not line up with the top left hand corner of the clip.
How do I get the jpg to line up correctly?

I'm trying to create something that will load a bunch of images into an array and then be displayed whenever needed via using the attachMovie() function.
Code:
for (var i=1; i<list.length; i++) { //list is an array full of urls to images
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("img"+i,i);
loadMovie(list[i], "_root.img"+i);
}
I dont think this is what I want because I don't actually want the images to appear right here (this is the loading part). What I want is each image to be in a separate symbol with a unique identifier so that I can create them dynamically during runtime.

I've constructed a dynamic slideshow using ActionScript 2.0 and PHP/MySQL. The reason for this, aside from update purposes, is that the slideshow will eventually display over 200 images. Thus, to save loading time and bandwidth, I decided to use PHP to pull ten images from an SQL database, formatting the output in XML. The slideshow itself works fine. Unfortunately, there are a couple of issues I need to address; my ActionScript is extremely rusty, so much of my work's patchy.
The code's displayed below:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("getData.php");
[Code] .....
The code in red is my main focus. It's the loop which loads all images as movie clips using the XML information from an array. The loop loads all of the images, making them transparent before the presentation begins. What I would like to do instead, to save loading time, is to load the next image while the current one is displaying. The function "moveSlide" controls the transition of the images, so I'd imaging it'd be best to plade it in there.
There's already an incremental variable being used, with _root.target_mc, for removing transparency from the current slide. The code in blue is also nagging me quite severely. I retrieve the next chain of slides by simply contacting the PHP script again. The only way I could think of doing that was to refresh the slideshow (this is done COMPLETELY in ActionScript, with nothing on the stage). Unfortunately, I could only work out how to reload the whole video.

As a test, I'm loading images (or references to images, more accurately) from an external XML file into Flash, each image representing where a thumbnail might appear in a portfolio, for example. I can get that to work fine. I have a couple of problems with the way the images appear, though. For one thing, when the 95 px X 95 px images are brought into the dynamically created 100 px X 100 px movieclips I have set for them, the JPGs stretch to fit... is this because I'm using the loadMovie method? The main difficulty I have, though, is my inability to get these individual movieclips containing JPG images to exhibit rollover and rollout behavior dynamically... without disturbing the image contained within.
Here's the code I have right now; my lame attempt at a dynamic rollover behavior is the for.. loop at the bottom, which is non-functional, by the way.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
//according to "content2.xml," this would set the parser at "<projects>".
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
var thumbs:Array = new Array;
var description:Array = new Array;

Explaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.

im loading multiple images but how do I make sure the program will start once all images have dispatched a complete event. like make a universal loader for all the other "small loaders" if you understand.

I need to load dynamically a few images (4-6) so that by clicking on particular image user would invoke particular action. Embedding images solves the problem but at the expense of file size. If I load them dynamically, they lose their ID.
<comps:ExercisesScroller id="scroller" x="300" y="100"
ex1="@Embed(source='assets/Exerc_1.png')"
ex2="@Embed(source='assets/Exerc_2.png')"/>
and so forth this works. But instantiated in CDATA it does not work:
import components.ExercisesSCroller;
private var custScroller:ExercisesScroller;
private function init():void {

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?

I'm getting crazy with this error and found no solution until now. Well, the issue consist in create dynamic movieclips and external jpgs into a for loop through xml nodes and add the respective image into that movieclip.

I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;
[code]....
Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).

I am currently building a flash site which uses dynamic images throughout using loadMovie("picture.jpg", mc_name) to load them into various movie clips. This all works fine and the site is starting to look good, the only problem i have is with preloading. I have the main swf file and everything contained within it preloading with a progress bar at the start which works fine. When the movie loads the main homepage image slowly fades in, however as the loadMovie("home.jpg", homepic) is on the same frame as the homepage, if you don't have the image in your cache then you miss the fade completely in the time it takes the image to load.
As a result i am wanting to preload this (and a few other) images during the initial preloader if possible, that way i can prevent this problem from occurring. Unfortunately from what i understand i can't run loadMovie from within my preloader actions as they're in a different frame so i'm really not sure how to do it, given the image is external

I am trying to import some images into flash using an XML file. My XML file seems to load fine, and my code seems to find the URL of the images to load. However when I actually try to load the images into my Loader nothing. This is my code that is relevant:
-----------------
public var xml:XML;
public var xmlList:XMLList;
public var imageLoader:Loader;
[Code].....
So as you can see my xml file is loading, my URLRequest seems to be finding the image path and filename (the paths are correct and those files are located there) however my imageLoader doesnt seem to actually load them .

I have a flash site, which uses XML to load an image gallery, but it cant find the images on the server even though they are there. It works fine locally.In firebug, each image is listed in the net tab as found, but when you click on it, there is an error message..Plus an error page is listed for each of the images.If you click on one of the other button's in the gallery strip on the site, it tries to find Freeola's (my host) 'crossdomain.xml' file which doesn't seen to be there, could this be a cause?

I have a webpage created in flash which uses xml to load specific gallerys into movie clips. Everything works fine in preview, but when uploaded it doesn't work. When you click on film or any of the other galleries, the galley does not load. I don't know whether this has something to do with the hosting or not. I'm only begining to use xml so my knowledge is quite limited. The website adress is below. I've also attached my action script.
