ActionScript 2.0 :: Scale And Smooth Dynamically Loaded Images
Jun 22, 2009
I've got a nifty bit of script that loads some images from an XML file into flash. It loads the pictures into specified movieclips:
ActionScript Code:
xmlImages.reset();
xmlImages = new XML();
xmlImages.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlImages.onLoad = loadImages;
xmlImages.load("[URL]");
function loadImages(loaded) {
[Code] .....
Each instance of the movieclips are called picture_mc1, picture_mc2 etc. On the frame where these picture_mc's sit, I've got this code:
ActionScript Code:
function randomImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
image = (imageFileName[0]);
picture_mc1.loadMovie(imageFileName[0], 1);
picture_mc1._xscale=23;
picture_mc1._yscale=23;
[Code] .....
Everything works fine, but my image scaling is making my picture_mc's look really pixilated. I've seen references to bitmap image smoothing, but i'm not sure the best way to approach this. It seems that each time I try and smooth my images, the code is smoothing the image placeholder, rather than the jpg that's being loaded into it.

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've tried a bunch of options but can't seem to smooth a dynamically loaded bitmap from another domain. I've come to believe this is impossible without a cross domain file. Is it possible or not possible?
I keep getting:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: LoaderInfo.content: http://....swf cannot access http://...png. No policy files granted access.
at flash.display::LoaderInfo/get content()
at Main/showLogo()
So outside of putting a crossdomain.xml file out there, any options?

I have played around with the Dynamically Loading Bitmaps With Smoothing from Tinic U ro as well as somme other advices from people on the kirupa forum. The code works great. I am trying to load different Bitmaps, fullscreen, on the click of a button (or any other event). The images load, but they just stack on top of each others and thus, they don't resize to the stage properly. Here is the code with the attached FLA: ( you'll need 3 jpg named bg1.jpg, bg2.jpg, bg3.jpg, all in the same folder as the fla)

I have loaded some images through XML and attached into dynamically created MovieClips named mc0,mc1,mc2...etc.
_loader.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadingAction);
count++;
var img:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.content);[code]....
Everthing works fine. But it is shaking so that it was not looking good.How do I achieve smooth movement?

I'm working on one current project, I don't have any issues to load a SWF into a main SWF but I can't figure out how to apply dynamically the scale down and up into a thumbnail images size while using the Resize event handler to fit in any browsers sizes.
I load SWF into a Loader object then add it into a container => currentMC. I want to size it and keep all the pieces inside this container. Therefore no matter browser size, I just want to be able to apply scale on it to fit it.
Does anyone know how to do that? How would I deal with stageWidth and stageHeight?

I have a stage with an external SWF loaded onto it. The stage scales dynamically to fill the size of the window.
Two problems: - I want certain items inside that loaded SWF to scale horizontally and vertically to fill the size of the stage.
- I want other items inside that movieclip to stay the same size, but be "attached" to the top and left of the stage.

I've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9);

preload a dynamically loading image.
My header animates then dissapears.
Then after about 2 seconds the dynamically loaded image appears, is there a way to preload the image before the end of the animation?
My code that doesnt work is:

function loading(e:Event){

as you surely know, setting a picture in your library to "allow smoothing" makes it high quality while resizing, rotating, etc with it on the scene.
Now I'd like to know how to set this to a picture you externally load while playing, cause obviously you can't set its parameter "allow smoothing" to true in the library, it'll never be in your library...
I found one thing that draws a bitmap, copies the pict, etc, but it's very slow at usage. I need something faster but the quality of the image must be perfect.

I have a working AS2 banner that loads in an array of images into a movieclip using flashvars and then cycles through these (there's no limit on the array length).
Unforunately, the images couldn't alpha tween into eachother as the AS2 script needs to be seperated onto sperate keyframes in order to count through the array.
I've created another movieclip which loads in the 'next' image in the array, so that when the current image fades down, the next fades up.
So to break down:
bannerContainer_mc - loads current image
nextContainer_mc - loads next image
Unfortunately when the timeline loops to the start again, bannerContainer_mc loads in the image which was previously loaded into nextContainer_mc. This creates a 'jolt' in the animation as the same image is re-loaded.
Is there any way of perhaps caching nextContainer_mc at the end of the banner sequence, to save loading it again in bannerContainer_mc?

I have created a custom 3d wall gallery and I would like to mask it to give it right and left fades. I have posted the code that places the images on the stage but for the life of me I cannot mask it. Themc in the library mask_mc already has the correct gradient so now how do I add it to the top of the dynamic gallery?
Code:
private function viewCarousel():void {
viewport = new Viewport3D(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight, false, true);
addChild(viewport);[code]......

I'm making a Image slider. When the mouse is rolled over, It'll slide to one direction. Just like a normal image slider.The problem is, the images that I want to be inside this slider are in a folder and I want them to dynamically load into flash and into the slider.
For example, Lets say there are 5 images in the folder. I want flash to get all the 5 images and load them into the slider and do the normal scroll thing. When the 5th image is reached, I want the slider to display the first image. (in a continuous loop). If a new image is put into the folder, flash should now have 6 images in the slider.I've manged to get the Number of files in the folder to flash.How can I make a slider where images are loaded dynamically?

I wonder whether anyone could give me an idea of where I am going wrong with this.I am loading images into a sliding menu which will act as a thumbnail viewer, the structure of which is: "thumbsContainer" (movieclip) nested inside "galleryPane" (movieclip). The images are loaded into movieclips named "all_thumbs", which are added to the thumbsContainer stage.
I would like to mask the content of the thumbsContainer, so that only the images physically within the thumbsContainer border will be viewable. I have tried adding my coded mask to the thumbsContainer stage, and tying it to the thumbsContainer; and have separately tried the same with the all_thumbs movieclip - but no matter how I organise my code, I can't get this to work. If the mask is tied to the thumbsContainer mc - that element disappears; if the mask is tied to the all_thumbs mc, only the background to the thumbsContainer is visible. Either way, I cannot get thumbnails to display through the mask. No thumbnails at all will display on stage.
I've had a good look through the books I have and online, but with no joy so far.
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a steer with this.

I'm trying to make smoothing for images which loaded with loadclip(). I found function for smoothing and it works but only for movieclips located in _level0, for example _level0.mc, but I want to smooth children MC, for example _level0.parent_mc.children_mc and then image just disappears. Smoothing function:
here = this; // trace(here) == _level0
bg_smooth = function (bg):Void {
var bg_depth:Number = bg.getDepth();
var bg_name:String = bg._name;
var bg_parent = bg._parent;
[Code] .....
Also tried to write _level0.parent_mc['children_mc'] instead of parent_mc.children_mc and to make here == _level0.parent_mc - still no luck. If I remove bg_smooth (element) on load complete then all works fine but of course smoothing disabled.

I am currently building a sphere of images that I'm trying to load from a remote location using XML. I managed to find the source for the sphere and was able to figure out how load the XML into an array of image details.
My problem is that the sphere is made up of images that were loaded into the library and I'm trying to load them in dynamically, i got all the information from XML but i don't understand how to make these dynamic images the same as the ones in the library so i can instantiate the image object.
thumbsArray[0]=[new Bitmap(new Small1(thumbWidth,thumbHeight))];
Small1 = the name of one of the image in the library that makes up the sphere. if i go to the properties of this Small1 image i noticed that its class is called Small1 too. I don't understand this as iv never seen this in actionscript 2.0.
The code below is my attempt at making a image loader object to a bitmap object, that doesnt seem to work my bitmap object becomes null, and throws an error.
SYNTAX / CODE:
function getLoader(url) {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE, completeHandler);

I've got a client who's asking about resizing dynamically loaded images in flash. basically i'm building him a button that displays dyn. text and loads a .png based on a variable (easy). I'm going to tell him that actionscript/flash really has no means of resizing a loaded image and that you need some type of server-side script to do all of that.

I have some nasty issue. I need to display dynamically loaded HTML document with images but my designer wants the document to be presented in angular (slopy) manner rather than simply vertically placed on stage. HTML document is loaded inside a .htmlText property of a textField.
While the texts itself renders perfectly with embedded fonts and "AntiAlias for readability" I have a huge problem with images inside HTML. For whatever reason they look nasty aliased - complete disaster:
Is there any way to get better quality in this case?
