ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading All Jpgs In Background?
Sep 9, 2008I have a gallery that loads external jpg's. I'd like to have the gallery start and while viewing the images, the rest are loading in the background.

View 1 RepliesI need to preload an external swf in my file - but I don't want a preloader bar or count or anything - I simply want it to perform in the background - and if done proceed to a certain frame. I've been googling preloaders for a bit now and they all have the bars and percentage count - and I couldn't seem to customize it.
View 1 RepliesMe and My friend building part of a site in AS2 which needs to preload images while the user is on the site. For example:
Illustration section has 10 images
A user clicks on the link for this section the images will begin to preload without the user knowing. They will be able to click on a link for an image and it will either display if fully loaded, or continue to load as a priority over the other images that are loading until it is ready to be displayed.
Can u give some excellent code for preloading images in background while rest of the movie is playing.
View 2 RepliesSo I have a video that is actually the background of the website. The video is resizing proportionally when user resizes the browser. The AS3 code is written on base of FLV component. The sound is also external mp3 imported with AS3 code. These are the facts and it works.Now the problem: The preloader calculates only the bytes of the movie including mp3, but doesn't calculate the bytes of external FLV, which makes the the movie and the mp3 play before the FLV video starts playing. It makes a gap and it don't look good at all.

View 2 RepliesI would like to change the bacground image for the preloading bar in Flex, the one which appears before loading your application. This article describes the way in which you can change the background-color, but is there a way to add a background image (and keep the loading bar on top of that)?
View 3 RepliesI'm doing this in an effort to make viewing a product catalogue better to view on dial-up, basically the next image should load in the background while the current one is being loaded.
I was thinking of making an object for each clip, although I'm getting a little lost on this, its late and I need to get to bed, so I thought I'd throw it up on here and see if anyone has any ideas!
Basically, right now the previous/next buttons aren't dissapearing when they should be and the previous image doesn't appear to be cached (needs to be tested in a browser to see this)
Is there a way to tell flash to preload a number of swfs in the background (meaning no visual cue to the end user that this is happening), while the current movie is playing?The idea is when the user clicks on a button to move to another area, that swf has already been preloaded in to memory or cache and loads instantly.

So it isn't the path.All of the nature photos loa without fail, but my jpgs won't?

View 2 Replieshow can you load external Jpgs into a swf instead of loading them and compiling the swf. so that they appear in the cache.
View 1 RepliesWe can swap depths of movie clips... ok....what about JPGs? I have an empty MC where I want to load images from an array and then starts swapping thier depths.Here is the script I use for loading them and the script I wans hoping will work for swapping thier depths:
onClipEvent (load){
var image_arr = new Array "1.jpg","2.jpg","3.jpg"....,"7.jpg");
for (var i=0;i<image_arr.length;i++)[code].............
How would I swap the depth of image 6 (image_arr[5].) and have it come to the surface?
That was supposed to be my first preloader dealing with an XML file and external jpgs ... searched the forum, found something that looked/sounded like it would work, tried to adapt it to my particular situation and ... (surprise!) ... it doesn't work. Let me add at this point that I'd consider myself a "very casual" ActionScripter (if there is such a thing), meaning that most of the time, I try to learn as I go along, without any *real* background knowledge. Here's my situation - methinks it's rather straightforward: SWF file (project.swf), XML file (config.xml) and a bunch of jpgs all in the same directory - nothing exotic so far. Here's the AS I (try to) use in my SWF file to load the xml and the imgs therein:

I'm trying to load jpgs into my swf at runtime but they always come out black and there is no image. Could it be that my files are too big?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently making a xml driven photo gallery. The first stage is loading in the thumbnails, each thumbnail will preload individually. I pretty close to acheiving this except my current script only loads in the first jpeg. I have tried everything and I jsut can't find a problem. Anyway my code is below if anyone gets a chance to look. Sorry its a bit hefty. I think the problem is with the ThumbLoadingEnterFrame and LoadNextThumb functions.
PHP Code:
count = 0;
var thumbImage = new Array();
var thumbClip = new Array();
var jpegImage = new Array();

View 2 RepliesAt my job I frequently have to create Flash banners for major newspaper's websites. The specs that usually come in require a max file size of 30k or so. Usually my art department will hand me 3 or 4 screens that they want to simply move through in a loop. No biggie, until they start adding images to the files.
When I complain to them that the images are making the file sizes too big I am usually queried as to how other advertisers on these sites have full video in their ads. I understand that there are pre-loaders as well as allowed larger file sizes if you pay more for the ads.
getting image sizes down in Flash so that the images don't end up looking horrible?
I'm setting up an online picture gallery. I'm trying to make it easy for the client to insert specific images, dynamically loaded, have them appear at 63 percent. If the user clicks on one, it enlarges to 100 percent. Trouble is, when the image is at 63 percent, it is not smooth and looks terrible,All the BitmapData class solutions posted online work for individual images. But I can't figure out how to automate the process in a for loop. At this point I'm not even worrying about the enlarging. I just want the images to load at 63 percent and look smooth.Below is the code for two images. Later I'll increase this to 25.
On the stage are two colored rectangle movie clips: toon1 and toon2. I want the dynamically loaded jpegs to load inside them. The client will manually edit the last lines whenever she feels like it, to choose which images to load.What I need is an elegant AS2 solution in which any dynamically loaded jpeg will be smoothed.
for (i=1; i<=2; i++) { this["toon"+i].createEmptyMovieClip("cartoon",this.getNextHighestDept h()); this["toon"+i].cartoon._xscale = this["toon"+i].cartoon._yscale=63;

I'm trying to go through a for loop, create a movieclip for each database entry, add the image by url stored. The problem is the code I have only does the last image. I know it's because something is not incrementing and they all have the same name. Do I need to increment the name of my loader?[code]...

View 1 RepliesI am doing a project for an RSS feed company, and I just found out I need to make a few flash files to be played on a digital signage display. Since I don't know Action Script , I'm basically learning as I go.One file is stumping me. I need to make auto-playing, looping, slideshow that consists of a series of JPEGs. These Jpegs are called from the companies server, and since they are basically weather images that shows doppler radar, they will be updated several times a day.
