I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.I have images loading into loaders, and empty movieclips, on demand..I would like to be able to load images that havn't been cached yet, but still have the images that the user navigates to to take loading precedence if need be. ie...Speed up loading time by haveing images load as a background process.
View 1 RepliesI have the snow effect falling in the project. But during the falling of the snow I'm loading an external file into the screen.

Hi..my friis Multi-threading or Background process possible in Flash(as3)..?
View 1 RepliesWhat is the best solution for multi threading in flex, I notice if I play a mp3 in flex and do something else at the same time something ends up giving out, either the song stops playing or the UI hangs for about a split second. It doesn't have that fluid response that I am looking to achieve. If possible I would like to call a multi threaded java class to do some of the client-side end back end processing. I just don't know if that is possible.
View 6 RepliesAs you can see, I have an external swf file that loads into a container clip. When a user clicks on the next project button, or any other category, another image gallery starts loading. My question is, is there anyway to load the other galleries in the background while users browse through the loaded ones?

View 3 RepliesJust to get some professional opinions, is it possible to load in an external SWF and set that SWF's background to transparent?
This question has nothing to do with embedding the SWF in an HTML page. I already know that setting the WMODE to transparent will create a SWF with a transparent background in a browser.
I have a gallery with a Next/Previous button and individual frames that contain a "loadMovie" function. When the user clicks next or previous the movie jumps to a new frame and loads an external swf/w a preloader into a container. The way I have it , the movie has to load each swf one at a time. Is there a way to have the movie loading the other swfs in the background, so the user doesnt have to ait for each swf to load?

View 0 RepliesI　have to swf files.
One is menu.swf and the other is long.swf
Menu.swf has basically a menu and loads long.swf in to it. Long.swf is a file with a very long background, only part of it is displayed at a time.
My question is quite basic- how do I get the menu.swf to load long.swf and go directly to a specific part of the background.
I can get long.swf to go directly where I need it with its internal navigation by using tweenlight, but not from menu.swf.
dim background content after loading an external swf into main swf. I was told that a dark movie clip placed over the whole site but under the external swf with alpha set to 50% would work. I need the background content to dim when the external swf is loaded and then go back to normal when exiting that page link. How can this be done thru xml or actionscript?My website is an xml flash template that loads the text and pictures for the site Thru xml file. Anyone have sample code? I am newbie to actionscript.

View 7 RepliesI have just started messing around in flash and made a pretty cool site (...design wise, the action script part is my major problem right now) which is suppose to go online sometime soon. I used the following script to load an external SWF into my main SWF: (I placed this script in the main timeline of my 'main' movie on frame 100 or something)

if(this.contentHolder == Number(this.contentHolder)){
loadMovieNum("content1.swf",this.contentHolder);

The external swf is al working fine, the preloader, buttons and thumbnails behaviour. All except for one thing: the photos wont load when i click on the thumbnails.

First of I'm using Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 I'm trying to make a photo gallery for my website. I have the gallery all setup and made and now I need a preloader for loading my images. Right now my gallery is setup like this:
-A list of clickable thumbnails. (20 thumbnails)
-A UILoader
-You click a thumbnail and it loads an external image into the UILoader.
Actionscript: I have an array with 20 images. I have 20 different event listeners for each thumbnail.
The eventlistener looks like this:
thumbs.thumbs1.t1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, loadP1);
The function looks like this:
[Code]....
The UILoader is inside 2 moveclips because of a transition effect I have. The buttons are also 2 movieclips deep because of motion tweens.specific reason.
I want to rapidly load an image over and over again. Basically it's from a security camera that has a web server running. on it, and it stores the current image in a file called now.jpg. I can do this from AS2 fairly easily as I can just keep calling a loadMovie() on the image, replacing the old one. At one point, I had what looked like 15fps going with that. BUT, with AS3, I can't seem to get this going very fast at all. It takes at least a second to load each image. I am using the code attached to do this. It uses an interval to load, but could be done through other methods. I can run the video out of the security cam into a converter and bring it in USB with the Video() and Camera() classes, but that only gives me 640x480. The camera is actually able to generate 1280x1024 images, which is what I am loading with my AS2 code. So,any ideas as to rapidly load these images? The web server on the camera can display a live image by using javascript to keep loading the image. There must be a way to do it in AS3 if it can be done in AS2 and javascript.
View 4 RepliesI want to make a photo uploader and after uploading the photo to the server you can load all the photo's that are in a folder in kind of a library.I can load one single image because I name it in AS but I want to load the whole "images" folder so I can see all the pictures that are in it.
"This is what I got so far"
load_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LoadBox);
function LoadBox(event:MouseEvent):void { //create a Loader instancevar myImageLoader:Loader = new Loader();//create a URLRequest instance to indicate the image sourcevar myImageLocation:URLRequest = new URLRequest("url to website");// load the bitmap data from the image source in the Loader instancemyImageLoader.load(myImageLocation);//add the Loader instance to the display listaddChild (myImageLoader);
I have created invisible buttons which when clicked will load an image into a UILoader. When testing, an output error message comes up saying:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: file:///E|/butcher1/images/cut0.jpg
I thought it might have been incorrect naming conventions or instance names but I have checked and I'm sure i've got it all right.
Could it possibly have something to do with my setup of the timeline as I have all my layers on the same line.
Should I start all over?
This is what some of the code looks like an i have done the same for the rest of the invisible buttons
this is what part of the code looks like...
cut7_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_3); function fl_MouseClickHandler_3(event:MouseEvent):void{ // Start your custom code // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel. trace("cut7_btn"); probackground.iloader.source = "images/cut7.jpg"; // End your custom code}
I created a flash slideshow which preloads the images. After preloading the images, it proceeds to load an external flash file and then the images. The problem is, very very occasionally, it will fail to actually load the images into view, and I'll just see the preloading animation, but it might still load the external swf. Additionally, it might do the reverse, and load the images and not load the external swf.
Here is the (I think) relevant code:
function onXMLLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
// create new xml with the received data
xmlSlideshow = new XML(e.target.data);
// get total slide count
// misc xml data

Is it possible to load an image(jpg, png, gif) from another domain and manipulate the pixels? I guess when the image is downloaded/copied it is in my domain.
Using the Loader and add the content to an Image component I get an error in my debugger. I guess there are some cross domain polices at work here.
But I need to be more sure how this works before moving on. I guess, if it is not possible to load the image directly I could create a local proxy.
