ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Images From A File At Runtime?
Dec 12, 2006
I was wondering is there a way to load images at run time that are loaded from an external webhost. Basically i want to be able to store the addresses of the images into an array and then each slide is going to contain 1 image, which will load the next image in the array when the user clicks the next button.
I'm fine with getting the array setup etc, but need to know is it possible to use web addresses and load images at runtime?? Aswell as defining a size and position for where the image will appear.
I'm not sure if Flash 8 supports this loading on the fly so the speak?? Basically I will update the images when required by replacing them with the same name and address where the photos are being hosted, but the program will still load from the same address, therefore showing the updated images.

Is it possible to load an external SWC file (at runtime) and place them at the stage? Is it possible to refer to them by strings? For example: var sprite = getExternalLibrarySprite("sprite_name")?

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.

Even wierder is when I comment out 3 of the images in the xml file, and just try the one image, I get no error at all (The picture isn't displaying, but atleast I get no error).

I am a self taught photographer and web designer, well I was taught html but that's it. I've been working on a site and I cannot get my images to load from a php file with actions script. Its part of my intro page and I want it to play images from a php file.
ActionScript Code:
function loadHomeSlidesXML() {
intro_xml = new LoadVars();
intro_xml.dir = "images";
intro_xml.type = "jpg";
intro_xml.sendAndLoad("files/fget_files.php", intro_xml, "POST");
intro_xml.onLoad = startHomeSlideshow;
[Code] .....
When I check it in flash I get an error
'file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Home/Desktop/mysites/photography/extra/undefined'" (Several times)
My fla/swf files are in the photography dir
My .php file is in the photography/files dir
And all my images and in the photography/images

I have built an image/video scroller in Flash 8. It loads images and flv files from an external xml file. It allows you to scroll through the images using a left and right button. The image in the middle is clickable, and when you click on it, it loads the cooresponding flv for that image and plays the flv. It all works great, except from time to time, the video control components become unactive - they are there, but do not work. Currently, I just have the playpause button. When this happens it becomes active again at the end of the video. It seems to happen more frequently in FF than in IE. If you contact me I can give you a link to a page where this is working.
Here is the main code:
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
var picnums;
var my_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_format.font = "Arial";
my_format.size=14;

How can I load jpg files into a flash archive? Do they necesarily be converted into swf files? Can I apply a mask on the flash file without changing the original image file?

I have a flash file that loads external images randomly onto the stage! That part works just fine. I have placed the code for loading images on the second frame of the flash file. What I want to do is to create a button on the second frame so when the users click on it the flash file will go back on the first frame. (Basically a Back Button). I did create a button and it will go back to the first frame once its clicked. However the image that loaded on the second frame will stay on the stage when the flash file's gone back to the first frame. I need to remove the image loaded on the second frame as well when it has gone back to the first frame!!
This is Actionscript Code:
stop();
var pHeight:Number = 346;
var pWidth:Number = 263;
var listLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("filelist.xml") );
var picLoader:Loader = new Loader();

Does anyone know any as3 libraries that allow you to scale, rotate, skew, etc.. images during runtime? I have found the greensock transform manager class, but would prefer not to pay $300.

in datagrid I have an ItemRenderer (which extends UIComponent) which loads images based on a data value, eg:
_img.source = "assets/images/flags/" + value[dglistData.dataField] + ".gif";
When I run my application the images (flags) are appearing in the ItemRenderer. When I build and deploy the application into BlazeDS as an SWF file - the images do not appear. Instead there is the standard "missing icon" link that appears in Internet explorer.
As far as I can tell, my ANT build script includes the above directory "assets/images/flags/" and all the images into the SWF file.

Is there a way to use 9-slice scaling with images loaded at runtime? To clarify, let's say that I build an application that lets a user skin a button with whatever image they want. This would be an image that's not embedded with the swf. Is there a way to set that runtime image as a background and use 9-scaling?

I've built a flash site in which i want to resize a movie to the stage. I do it by keeping the proportion, thus i only resize the width and then i resize the height acordingly to the new width but keeping the proportion. The problem is that my film still looks "pixeled". I found a website on which the stage resizes dinamically with the movie and the background images without either of them losing quality. Till now i knew that resizing images or videos in flash at authoring or runtime produces pixeled results.
This is the website: [URL:]. Can someone tell me how do they do it without losing quality? just make the browser windowed and resize the margins to see the effect.

I have built a flash animation (for a web site) that requires a number of decent quality JPG images. I don't display all of these at the start, so I don't want to wait for them all to load before starting the animation. Thus I want to be able to load these images in the background - the obvious process would involve MovieClipLoader.loadClip() method. This works fine if I am loading into an INSTANCE of a moveclip (either existing on the stage or one that I creat in actionscript) - but I really want to load into a library movieclip.
The problem is that I end up using these images in two different movies on the stage - each pulls from a movieclip in the library (that contains the image I want). So my original thought was simply to load (using loadClip()) into the library movie - which in turn would show up in the two stage movieclips that have this library clip in the timeline. However, I cannot seem to get loadClip() to work with a library object.
I tried exporting the library movieclip to actionscript (giving it a name) - but loadClip() doesn't seem to want to load into it. I can only get loadClip() to load into an instance that exists on the stage.Sorry if I am asking a stupid question - I don't do a lot of flash programming - although I have extensive programming experience in other languages.

I followed Lee's "Runtime Font Loading" tutorial and got it to work, but where would I do the loading of the font in a MVC pattern. Model? View?I have a view loading creating an instance of a box class (TextField) for each item in an XMLList, then it adds it to the stage. I want the textField in the box class to use the runtime loaded font. I have no clue in what class to load it in co the box class has access to it.

To do this does it mean that I have to store them in another external location rather than my library and only load them when I need to use them from a URL request?

Posting this is my last resort�I've spent the entire afternoon trying to figure this out. I'm to load a font at runtime using some updated code found here. The problem is no matter what I try I always get the following error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter font must be non-null.
at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()
at cardmaker::FontLoader/fontLoaded()
which is saying that "FontLibrary._Bradley" is null in registerFont(); I know the swf exists on the server and the font symbol is being Exported for ActionScript with a class name and symbol name of both "_Bradley".

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.
