ActionScript 2.0 :: Upload Image To A Movieclip, Then Drag And Resize?
Jun 11, 2007
I need to make a form that allows the user to upload an image from their own computer, then dump that loaded image into a movie clip, and allow them to move it about on stage, and possibly scale it. I have the upload function working, it allows me to select a file, and i have the server side php to dump the images on the server, but im not sure how to go about dumping the image in the movie clip after the usser has selected and uploaded it. Ive found stuff around the net that dumps the file into a scroll pane, but im not really sure how to modify the code to work with a movie clip. I think dragging and resizing will be cake after that, because theyre functions ive used before. But i just cant seem to get past this upload hurdle.

I would like to automatically resize an image uploaded through fileReference if the image is larger than the movieclip. The movieclip is 500x400 pixels.Here is my code.
The movieclip where the image will load is called "upload_area"
Code:
var fileRef:FileReference= new FileReference();
btn_upload.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown);
function onDown(evt:MouseEvent):void{

I would like to add the ability to resize a rectangle movieclip, plus have the ability to drag it horizontally. I have the horizontal drag code working, but I am not sure how to add the ability to grab the ends and resize it.. There are a lot of these bars on screen, so I am adding listeners in a loop:
this["box" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
I imagine I need to add 2 movieclips to each rectangle to allow for resize handles, but I'm not sure how to refer to them or initalize them...Here is a pic of what I am looking to accomplish.

I'm pretty new to Flash and seem to be struggling with variable scope, events and where to put code within movieclips/main area etc. What I'm trying to do is produce a Flash movie that will allow the user to click on a tool from a selection, i.e. a circle, then click on another part of the screen to place the centre of the circle, with a second click to set the radius of the circle (an alternative would be a single click and drag to place the circle and drag it out to the desired radius.) Once the mouse if clicked a 2nd time, or the drag operation is completed, the circle will stay at the selected radius.
The code I'm using so far to test out the idea is below:
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
_root["item1"].onMouseMove=function(){
d = Math.sqrt(Math.abs(_xmouse-this._x)*Math.abs(_xmouse-this._x)+Math.abs(_ymouse-this._y)*Math.abs(_ymouse-this._y));
if(d<370){
this._width = d*2;
this._height = d*2;
}else{
this._width = 87;
this._height = 87;
}}}
This uses a simple circle movieclip, and the above code is placed in Frame 1 of the background as opposed to the movieclip itself. It resizes the circle movieclip ok, but I want to be able to control the resize with the mouse or with a single click/drag.

I have been using [URL] to create an flash file that creates a picture of an movieclip. But this only allows me to download the image from the flash, not upload it to a ftp server and to a database. The php file looks like this
<?php switch ($_POST[format]) { case jpg: header(Content-Type: image/jpeg); break; }
case 'png':
header('Content-Type: image/png');
break;
if ($_POST[action] == prompt) { header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=.$_POST[fileName]); }
echo base64_decode($_POST[image]); ?>
and I want the function if ($_POST[action] == prompt) to upload the image to an ftp and a database?

Basically im building a flash based drum head designer for users to upload their own image, resize, add text etc, then it be uploaded to a web server when they complete the purchase.
I have all the server side part working, able to send a 2800px square image and compress it into a 1.5MBish jpg.
the problem im having is for the user to upload an image into flash. I've seen prototypes where it uploads the image to the server, then flash loads that image, then upoads the completed one, but this uses alot of transfers.
What I hoped to achieve is something similar to the system on the [URL] website where the image is stored in the cache first. I have spent hours looking for resources on importing user images into flash without uploading first.

I have been looking for a way to create an effect like this in Actionscript 2.0.Like thisThe application above is in AS3 and I am trying to create that effect in AS2!anyone knows how we can achieve that so the users can re-size the images via handles around the images inside the flash? or maybe re-size a movie clip with handles like that?

I've been trying to get this to work for a few days and uploaded a simplified version. Basically I need to download an image which could be any size and then resize it. To illustrate this I've placed a large file on my server which is to represent someone loading an image. Unfortunately, in real life, I won�t know the size of the image someone will choose, so I need to resize it. I've included a resize button which works. Unfortunately I won�t be able to add an extra button, so I've added a listener to detect when the file has finished

I am creating an upload tool for an image gallery. The swf uploads the files with filereference to a php files which resizes the images. But when the images are larger than 600kb it fails, php runs out of memory and I can't edit the php.ini file on the server.
So my solution is to resize the images before uploading them, this saves also bandwidth.

I need to be able to have a user drag multiple images from the locate file system onto the flash/flex/html5 app which will then taker the file name details and contact the server.Upon server response then upload the file ( assuming server validation passed ).I know this can be done in Java but that is not an option.Please do not suggest the FileReference.browse function as the retouchers are to stupid(no joke here) to use this and it has to be drag and drop.This has to work with all current versions of the popular browsers( hrome,FireFox,IE,Safari)What it comes down to is I want to put an image up on the web page stating drop here and allow them to upload the file(s) by dropping on it.

Just wondering if anyone knows about the project I am trying to start, uploading images from flash using php is fine but wondering if anyone knows how to create dynamic xml from php and it takes all the image names from the same folder where those images have been uploaded. So we can load all the images in image gallery through xml into flash.

As far as I know, what I ask here isn't possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case I'm missing something.
Suppose you want to let users upload JPG images, and these images are scaled into smaller icons and the original images are always discarded and never required again. Is there any way that would commonly work in most modern browsers that would let the user select a single image on their hard drive, have that LOCALLY turned into a thumbnail and upload the created thumbnail to a server?
In a case where the server just needs a small image, it would be wasteful both in user time and server resources to proceed uploading the whole image, only to immediately discard it. It would be much better to just scale it on the client.
I can imagine three options. Just plain HTML/Javascript, using Flash or using Java. If this were possible with Flash, that would seem like the best option. But reading flash.net.FileReference documentation, it seems that you can upload a file from the HD yes, but you cannot look inside the file you are uploading. On the other hand, if you enable "can access local files" in Flash publishing options, it seems that you can then no longer access the net, so that doesn't work.
With HTML/Javascript, it is possible to load images and display them on a <canvas>, but if you try to access the pixels of these images, you get security violations, so that doesn't seem to work.
Java I hesitate to use, because only 96.52% of my users have it installed, and the file upload dialogs I have seen implemented in Java (at Facebook for example) have not worked well (unresponsive interface). I wonder though if Java is the only thing allowing resizing images from local HD?

I'm using Agile Uploader in my project to resize image before upload on client side.And it works fine except one thing: if image name contains cyrillic letters it fails with server error 500.
How to avoid this or if needed how to rename file with english letters "on fly" (possibly with javascript).

I'm dragging a symbol that has been reduced in size, I'm dropping that symbol and I then want the symbol to resize itself, basically return to it's 100% h+w.
The dragging and dropping is no probs and I'm sure the resize would be setting some sort of symbol property value or something

Some images I load dynamically are too big so I would like to scale them to fit the stage.

this returns 0. Why does it return 0 when the image loaded is obviously much larger then 0 pixels. How do I change the width and height of imgCont to a specified dimension.

i am building an editor which allows you to resize images and to do this (once an image is selected) I add a visible border to the image that allows you to resize the image. so i want to have a function something like,
[Code]....
and i have to call this redrawborder function inside the MOUSE_MOVE listener that controls the resizing (so that i am constantly removing and redrawing the border). constantly removing and redrawing the frame seems very inefficient. is there some property or better why to do this? i want to have, displayobj.scaleChildren = false or something like that

I have an image on the stage which is bigger than the stage itself:
The stage is 700x550
The image is 2100x1650, and it's registration point is at its center, if I remember correctly.The initial location of the image on the stage is 350,75.I want to make sure that the user will be able to drag the image, as long as the edges of the image doesn't show.here's what I did:
mapRect = new Rectangle(0-mapMC.width/2, 0-mapMC.height/2, mapMC.width, mapMC.height);
and later on:
mapMC.startDrag(false,mapRect);
The the top and the left of the image are bounded well, but as far as the bottom and the right side of the image.

I'm at that awkward point in Flash authoring where I know the basics, have tackled only a few of the intermediate issues, and have been assigned a task that seems a bit daunting. I did my fair share of googlin, and searching on these forums and haven't found what I'm looking for.I've created a simple drawing program in flash before, but what I need to add is the functionality to upload a user image and crop/resize it. Does anyone here have a link to an article that will explain a bit about flash's jpg manipulation abilities?
