ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading One Image At A Time With For Loop?
Jan 11, 2009
I have a function where i load some images from an XML file. The function builds up a pattern with boxes in lines of 4, and for each Image-tag in the XML file, it creates a new box in that pattern and loads an image into it. The problem is that as the code is written now, all the images are loaded and displayed at once.
I would want the function to load one image at a time, so that image box is displayed, and then the next one, and next one, and so on. Is it possible with my function? What should I change? make that pattern that the boxes form? As you see now, it's a lot of code counting each row of 4 boxes.
this is the function below:
Code:
//Loading work objects from XML
var home:MovieClip = this;
xFirst = 0;
I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?
i was creating my portfolio using xml gallery script from this site. the thing is that it loads one picture at a the with a preloader between each load. is there a way to load the first image and keep loading the rest so there will be only one loading time? here is my action script:
I have problem with loading an image from a loop.The method I used is I created an array, then load the xml file with the images. And in the loop, where also the menu is created, I called through the array the wanted image from the xml.I tried to find the problem, but I don't get it to work as I want.The output says that the url is undefined, but sometimes when I try a different aproach, it loads constantly the same picture.
I have a piece of working code. I'm loading an XML file full of images to flash and using them in a slideshow. The code works fine, but here's my issue. The first time an image loads, the fade-in time is about half as long as it should be. I've reduced the image resolution and drug out the fade in time so it's not terribly noticable. But I still see it. Once the code has cycled through the entire file of images, it starts over and repeats. At this time, (being the 2nd run through) the images fade in exactly how they're supposed to. I'm guessing that once the images have been loaded in the cache, there is no download time etc. [URL].
Here's the code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import fl.transitions.TweenEvent; var myTween:Tween; var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("imageData.xml"); [Code] .....
i have a flash image viewer about 260kb large, it includes 3 images inside the swf itself which im going to switch dynamically, each images is actually a holed out (masked) png so i can overlay that image with another image which i dynamically loaded using loadClip()
so what i have here is a movieclip in the stage that contain a layer of the internal png with another mc to load an external image sandwiched below the previous
i searched the forum to see if i can find anything about loading the dynamic image together with the actuall flash files but it appears i failed to find one...
i would like the dynamic images is loaded together with the flash itself

I have a game built and I would like to reduce the loading time to the minimum possible.One of my ideas is to load the essential assets and some lower quality images the first time, leaving the higher quality images and some of the functionality out at first (for instance things like buttons that change the background color), and once the player enters the game, the rest of the functionality and its assets (images and sounds) will be loading in the background using the Loader class.So once the non-essential assets and the high quality images have loaded they will fade in and substitue the lower quality assets in the most subtle way possible.
Also... Would it be better to have various instances of a "Loader" class and try to load everything at once, or load stuff in order with a single instance of the "loader" class listening to the Event.COMPLETE event ?
I have a movie. It runs through perfect first time. Then everytime after, it seems to become a little more out of time. I have simple AS2. Sum Movies within symbols.
I have a set of 5 movieclips that pull in info into dynamic textfields. Each individual movieclip pulls in one xml node. Once the five nodes have been pulled in I need to, upon a click or timer function, reload the same movieclips with the next 5 nodes of xml.
I have an f4v loaded through flvPlayback. after the video completes, is there a way to loop the f4v from 00:00:05:11 to 00:00:06:15? and have it do that loop endlessly.
I want to run the loop for long time in my application. If i do within few seconds i am getting a alert message like "Script in this movie make flash player to run slow . do you want to abort the script". How to overcome from this.
i have some loop function for the game, this loop for open the 9 box, here the code
function random_item_2(coinsx) { var listItem:Array = new Array(); for (var i:uint=0; i<15; i++)[code].........
the problem is, 9 box open in one time, not one by one, i want to box open the box one by one, after the first box opened so the next box will open, here for some algo that i wanted
How to make time delay in a loop..[code]But I want every containers_array[i] to be added one after another. I don't have them scaled to 100%, they remain being 1%, just like little dots on the screen when I write down:[code]
I'm just wondering, how would I go about making a counter in ASC3 count more then once? Because, counter++ updates once, but counter+2 gives you some kind of error. counter+1 also gives you error.
Is there a way to loop one frame after a certain period of time. I have only one frame in the timeline, and about 10 layers with a single frame containing a container to load external mcs. These frames are all lined up in one row and the mcs play after a certain number of seconds. The last layer containing my last mc that plays fades out to black and then nothing plays again but id like to have it so that all the mcs play again like the first time, like a loop.
(Flash 5/Flash MX). How do I delay/pause using actionscript? I have tried using a for loop for a time delay like this: for(i=0;i<1000000;i++){ } But it does not work?
Flash gives an error like: Time-consuming actionscript. Abort running script? OR the loop simply does not produce a noticeable delay. How I can introduce a time-delay or a pause using actionscript?
I need to adapt it so that instead of looping all the way back to the beginning, it instead goes to points further into the animation (such as say 10 seconds in) rather than all the way back to the start.[code]Now, I'm thinking that what needs to be changed is the autoRewind = true section, but being a complete novice, I don't even know where to begin. I've seen online sections dealing with a goto command, but my attempts to alter the code haven't worked correctly
I have a game loop written in Haxe/Flash. For some reason it slows down over time. At first it runs reasonably, but my laptop fan starts spinning up and it gets slower and slower. Why would this happen?
I have 10 mc's on my page which I want to load from alpha = 0 to 100, one at a time, but in a random order each time the page is loaded. I have code which uses an array to loop the mc's and I can then load the array into a tween using as2, but I don't know how to randomly create an array, then load these answers into a tween and play them one after another until the loop is complete.

I am having trouble creating a simple flash music metronome. Specifically, I can't figure out how to determine the position of a slider and use this position to determine how frequently to play a certain imported sound. I would also like to be able to display the tempo on the screen.
I have a long list of images in the library linked as image1, image2, image3 etc. how do i set up a for loop that will display these images in one go (one on top of the other), i thought this would be trivial but everything ive tried doesnt work, i think i may be confusing run time with compile time with my attempts, when i set up a for loop with the iterator replacing the number (in the image name) i just get errors. Sure i could hard code every one but i find that dissatisfying.
I have looked everywhere for an example or tutorial on a delta time game loop in AS3. I found many fixed time step examples but very little helpful information on delta time game loops and how it works. I have seen examples that do the calculations in a timer and also seen examples that do the calculations inside the enter_frame event. All the examples I have seen are also incomplete and only provided me with bits and pieces.
I'm writing an upload program to upload multiple files. It works great as long as I only upload one file but as soon as I add a second file it throws an error saying it can only perform one upload at a time.Is there a way I can have it not loop back through the for loop until the upload has completed?Here is a chunk of my code
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 developing a site where on the homepage, there are about 6 images that rotate, but if you click on a sub link, a different image loads. But the problem is that, the first image has to cycle through before the second image loads. I want the second image to load immediately.
[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.
Is it possible to capture the image loading event like when the image is fully loaded and such when it is assigned to the htmlText of the textFiel???
I have a scrollPane that contains a textField which is loading an image via img tag where there is no scrollbars initially because the textField is not large enough in the beginning, but it is larger than the scrollPane after the image is fully loaded.. and I am trying to update the scrollPane once the image is fully loaded..
