II'm trying to create a title page where two movie clips fade in. One is a dynamic text movie clip, the second is an image that is loaded.[code]I've traced the heck out of this, so all I know is that image_mc seems to only generate a single onEnterFrame event and then stops.It seems that if I comment out the .loadMovie line, the placeholder movie clip fades in properly, so obviously there is something about onEnterFrame events and loadMovie that I don't know.
on Flash MX 2004 having problems with loading external jpegs and stuff. I got a tutorial from here and loading from a web address on it is okay, but I can't get my one to load from my hard drive because there is always an error with the path. I know it'll ultimately be on line anyway but I want to know what I'm doing wrong.[code] What's the correct format for putting in a file path?
I have a series of jpegs that I would like to download dynamically and have them fade in like a slide show. I'm using loadClip so I can use forceSmoothing so they look nice.
But I'm unsure how to have them fade in one after the other. Trying an array and for loop but I don't know quite how to structure it.
I'm using the Loader class in AS3.0 to load external images. I need to load a random image each time and I'm using a timer to load a new image after 5 seconds or so. When I load the first image,
[Code]...
The problem is that my fading routine does not work. One image loads, and the next one appears straight away when it is finished loading.
My code feels like a bit of a hack...is there a nicer way that actually works...?
I'm working on a slide show with external SWFs. I got everything to work (almost evrything ) ... Whwat I'm trying to do is have a nice transition.. I have the Loading SWFs Fade in... but there's still a split second of the white space under... so I was trying to have the Unloading SWF FAde out wile Loading SWF is Fading in... or something close to that.
I've used loadMovie() often in the short time I've been using Flash. But never to load a JPEG dynamically. For a site interface, I have little thumbnails, which open to new browser windows. This is partly annoying though, as each one opens in it's own window, so the user would have to close a whole bunch of 'em after clicking all those thumbnails. To try to fix this, I read that JPEGs can be loaded at runtime onto the stage. I've already seen the photo gallery tut, but I only require a pop-up window with one image and no left/right buttons, etc. I've tried following the tutorial for the first few steps, making a shape the size I want the images to be, converting it to an MC, and naming the MC instance on the stage. Then, I created a new layer on frame 1 with
Code:
loadMovie("CS_00_1.jpg", _root.picture);
, but when testing it, I see nothing. I've tried a few different things. Before, the fla was in a separate folder, so I had to include "Screens/" in the name. Just in case that was the problem (I didn't get any errors in the Output), I moved it into the directory with the images. I tried absolute and relative addressing. I opened up the image in PS and resized it to the size of the symbol on the stage and made sure it wasn't Progressive (I read in a thread that Flash doesn't load Progressive JPEGs), but still nothing. I even tried loading a file that didn't exist to make sure it was looking in the right place the other times (as it didn't give me any error).
I have filenames of Jpegs stored in a MYSQL database. The filenames are returned with other information by PHP to Flash as variables.
I have some dynamic text boxes that have the variables set so that the textual information is displayed but I would also like a movieclip that behaves in the same way but with the pictures.
How do I create some form of movieclip that reads the variable pic1 that is returned from PHP.

Working in Flash CS5 and using ActionScript 2.0 I'm trying to attach a preloader to a MovieClip which has a loader component inside to load an external jpeg. This MovieClip is inside my navigation MovieClip on the main timeline. I've used the same preloader to load my main website and it works fine. I want to have a preloader for my main photos as they take about a second to load and during this time there is just a blank space that shows.Below is the working code for the preloader;
stop(); onEnterFrame = function(){ var percent_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
Working in Flash CS5 and using ActionScript 2.0 I'm trying to attach a preloader to a MovieClip which has a loader component inside to load an external jpeg. The MovieClip is inside a another MovieClip.I've used the same preloader to load my main website and it works fine.I also want to have a preloader for my main photos as they take about a second to load and during this time there is just a blank space that shows.[code]I've changed the _root. part to this. as the MovieClip is not on the main timeline. Any idea how to get the preloader working on my photos?
We have photos that are loading too slowly and I need to speed them up. I am using AS2. What's even more perplexing is that at certain times after refreshing the web page, some photos load and some do not. It seems to be random, at various times, the photos that did load do not. I cannot put my finger on why this is happening..
First, I tried using loadMovie(). Then, I tried the var loader: MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); with loadClip() For each JPEG. You are welcome to look at the site and see if there is anything that I can do to improve the speed of the loading. [URL]
I want to create dynamic slideshows using external jpegs and for the slideshow to continue until all of the images have been shown. The images in the folder are named 0,1,2,3... etc First of all I want a function to fire that loads an external jpeg.It then checks to see if it exists.If it does it waits 5 seconds then loads the next. If it doesnt I want it to stop and show a default image.So far I have
PHP Code:
fileExists=new LoadVars(); fileExists.onLoad=checkIt; function checkIt(success) {
[code]....
This checks to see if the image exists and if it does it gets displayed. If it doesnt it shows the default image. How can I add a counter to the "0.jpg" and the
PHP Code:
fileExists.load
I Know it involves setInterval but I cant seem to get the two things working together!
Does anyone have a loading solution that allows for loading swf's, jpegs and is fully customizable? My duct tape solution had been to have loaders in every swf that i was planning to load in- but this feels silly. I've tried a couple of components from the adobe exchange but they lacked a bit of elegance. Whether it's a class or example file- I just want to be able to smoothly load content into the parent- where the loader also resides.
I'm getting a bald patch on my head from frustration with the following problem. I have a parent AS3 swf which loads in a AS2 swf like so;
stop(); var ldr:Loader = new Loader(); ldr.load(new URLRequest( "as2child.swf")); addChild(ldr);
contained in the AS2 file is the following script which loads in jpegs when the user clicks the next button, etc.
[Code]...
however when you view the AS2 swf via the AS3 swf it does not seem to load in the jpgs when requested. I need to retain the AS2 file so cannot rewrite in AS3 as the image loading thing is only a small part of the AS2 file.
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();}
I've found the loader component handy in loading JPEGs and scaling them to the specified size. However, I've found it a little annoying that when the image is loaded, sometimes you can see the image in it's original size for a fraction of a second before it's resized to fit the loader. Is there any way to avoid this -- such as the loader only being visible after the image is resized?
I'm creating an image gallery and looking for a simple way to preload external jpegs (with % loaded) into an empty movie clip.I'm using thumbnails- there are no "next" or previous "buttons".[code]I've been googling/ searching all day.
I have a gallery that reads an ms access database using asp and then loops through an array of records and duplicates an empty movieclip for each record. jpeg is then loaded into the movieclip and then a variable for the _x position is incremented and then the next one is loaded etc.I then use the same method to add the necessary labels for the images by duplicating a movieclip and adding a text fieldThis is all fine and produces a gallery of images but the problem comes when I try and position the labels according to the height of the image. I have tried every method I can think of to check the image attributes which are only available when it is fully loaded, but I keep getting a value of 0.
Code: stop(); // Set variable holding image folder path
I have an empty_mc and an external .swf I want to have the swf fade into the empty_mc on a button release. I also want to be able to control the fade rate. Then I want to do the same thing with a fade out on button release. I'm using AS2 CS5
I have an main index.swf that loads external swfs. In these external swf timelines I have fade ins of its content and artwork, so what I'm trying to do is simply have these swfs load over the current loaded one without starting from a blank space, and then I'll remove the replaced swf with removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);. But I can't figure out how to get the clips to load over each other with my current code.
I'm attempting this by loading them into movieclips. I can't quite figure it out using muliple Loader's, which I'm sure is a way to acheive this.
What happens thus far: the loading swfs replace the current loaded swf, but the loaded swf is blank every other click, and even without the alpha event handler code the swf just replaces the current swf in its movieclip from blank space.
I am trying to take ten images, load them into an array, and then show them one at a time,fading out each one in turn. I keep getting this error.
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property alpha on String. at fl.transitions::Tween/setPosition() at fl.transitions::Tween/set position() at fl.transitions::Tween()
I have this fully integrated site where the menu(which loads from different swf) loads external swf into a container. Whenever a new bottom i selected i want the swf in the container to fade out. Can i add a script to my present code that fades the container "contact" out.
my Flash file loads 1 of 6 random images onto the stage when it loads using the following code, how can I make the random images fade onto the stage? Starting at alpha 0 and ending at 100?
[code] var myClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcl", this.getNextHighestDepth()); var myLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); var myListener = new Object();
I am trying to create a canvas which will display 5 images ( one in each corner and one in the middle) now the trick is that the loader should be able to load any jpgs uploaded into that directory and display them in a random order in one of the 5 spots, and also the images should fade in and out.

SO i have looked and looked and I am beginning to believe that this may just be impossible to do with Actionscript. Basically i have a backend php file that creates an XML file of randomly selected entries from a Db. That XML file is imported to the swf file, and currently i can rotate through the XML nodes with no problem. Where i am now having issues is trying to have each entry Fade in.........and then fade out. Doing this with tweening is not an option because the tween time period never matches up with the backend actionscript rotation time period.
I have read alot about how you need to embed fonts to make this possible. have done that to no avail. THis can not be that out there of an idea. Basically i have a list of advertiser names and am wanting to rotate through them........but want a little more style than just a hard cut between the entries.
I'm trying to play 2 external flash movies. its already running ok but i need the scene to be somewhat to gradually become transparent so that the timebased scene2 will comeout to of the screen.
Here is the script of it:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("scene2.swf"); myLoader.load(url); addChild(myLoader);
I can't work out why - but when I try to fade out some text (by calling fadeoutSecondText), the text fades out, and then immediately fades back in. Fading in and out struggle against each other, resulting in rapidly flashing text!
