I have created a gallery that pulls from an php file. standard stuff:

If for some reason (nice way of saying the people maintaining this are not computer peeps and prolly will name things poorly, or forget to upload or something). if for some reason it cannot find a thumbnail, is there anyway to make flash use a default thumbnail image in its place?
way to show a jpeg image while a Flash file is loading or better, if they don' t have Flash?
Problem is that when people go to a site and they don't have Flash and can't install it (ie: iPhone), they can't see phone numbers, address etc. which is why that came there. It would sure easier to push Flash if there was a way to have an alternate image to view.
On my air application, I try to load image like this:
var imAc:Image=new Image();
imAc.source=rootFile+value+"-V-"+label+".png";
Sometimes, image source doesn't exist. In this case, broken icon appear but if this error appear I'd like to change image source

I am using Flex to create a sort of photo viewer that loops through an array of photos when users click on arrow buttons. However, I wanted to make it so if an image is broken then it would be skipped, but I can't seem to find a way of checking if the image is broken.
View 3 RepliesI'm using flex 4.1 to write an application and I was wondering how can I configure that whenever I try to load an image and the link is broken it will show a different image that i have embedded into my application.
View 2 RepliesI've just finished a flash projector for my company's lobby that displays all members of the staff in a dynamically generated grid with a page for each department. Flash reads an xml file generated from our Active Directory using php.
I've just discovered a bug. We have several employees that don't wish to have their images displayed; the autogenerated path to their images are therefore false. When the screen loads, a blank space appears where the movieclip is supposed to load.
How do I detect that the image link is bad (must be simple as flash gives out debug errors)? I would like to load an alternate image for staff with missing images.
Here's a snippet of where the movie clips are generated:
Code:
for (i=0;i<nodes.length;i++) {
attachMovie("container", "new"+i, i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos});
//load the image from the xml nodes array
this["new"+i].photo.loadMovie("images/staff/"+nodes[i].attributes.photo);
}
I've got a slideshow which runs from an XML file, and at the moment, if the image specified in the XML file isn't there, I get an errorError #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.and here is the function which loads the image:
Code:
private function Load_thumbnail():void

I've got a slideshow which runs from an XML file and what I want to do is load a default .jpg if the URL is not found.
Here's what I have so far:
Code:
private function Load_thumbnail():void

The bar of the pre-loader stops before it reaches 100%, so I'm guessing the Event.COMPLETE listener isn't being triggered...
So for the splash screen at the beginning of an iPhone app, usually a Default.png is created and added to resources folder to add it. In Flash CS5 IOS development there is no resources folder so I was wondering if anyone had any experience how to get this to work.

I wanted to create a flash application like this [URL] but the only difference is I want to save my image into the default folder with different names. I don't need for prompting to save the image but instead it will automatically saved in the default folder when you click the save icon. Here's the link I followed for the sample link above [URL]

My application (AS3) uses Flash Player right-click zoom feature. However, when zoomed in I cannot drag when the cursor is over an image, navigation bar or active area.This makes the menu and several other pages impossible to navigate when zoomed in.The only option is for the user to zoom out and then zoom back in on the next area they want to look at.how default dragging can be enabled when cursor is over an image/ moviclip?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to set a default extension when saving an image using FileReference save method?
Code:
var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileReference.save( pngData, "image.png" );
If windows is set to "hide known file extensions", only image without extension will be displayed in save dialog. File type is "*.*". Some of my users hat the great idea to add .jpg extension in filename, because they couldn't see one. So file was saved broken as image.jpg.
I'm importing an external image, but by default the anchor point (coordinates 0,0) for the movieclip it loads into is the top left,this is obviously an issue if I want to rotate, as I need coordinates (0,0) to be the centre of the image, not the top left?

I've just started working with CS4, and admittedly I'm new to Flash, but I can't get the Scene functionality to work as described in the docs. The class MovieClip has a currentScene property that should return a Scene object. The Flash 10.0 docs give this code as an example :import flash.display.Scene;var scene:Scene =mc1.currentScene;trace(scene.name + ": " + scene.numFrames + " frames"); However, if you create a new ActionScript 3.0 fla file, create a MovieClip instance, name it mc1, and put this exact code in one of the frames, it returns a Scene object with no name and only 1 frame.Changing the name of the scene in CS4 does not . Am I missing something?

Also, I have issues with spaces not being added around operators even though I have that set in my preferences. I have access to Adobe's bug system but Flash is not listed, so I can't report the bug. Even their general website "Request a feature/Report a bug" form does not list Flash Pro under the list of apps.

I tried to get some help on this directly from Adobe and they just sent me a patronising description of how to use the eyedrop tool. I've been a flash artist for years so this is not some newbie failing to grasp a basic principle.
The colour picker you can access after clicking and holding on the fill colour or line colour on the toolbar no longer works for some reason. It's still there, but doesn't pick up the colours you rollover anymore. It did on all previous versions!
This was extremely useful as the tool bar eyedropper requires you to actually go inside the grouped items or symbols. It's especially useful if you're using photo reference or scaling similar panels/buttons etc. Is there a patch available that can restore functionality to this? It has severely curtailed my working speed.
I notice in flash the Modify > Arrange option seems to be buggy and work only sometimes. I have a few shapes on the same layer and wanted to arrange them on top of each other in different order and it doesn't work... The shapes were created with shape tool and pen too as drawing objects.
I would have to go the extreme, either I would have recreate the shape to be recognized by the program or cut and paste into a new layer and transfer back down to the single layered that was needed. illustrator has the exact same option with no problems.
I have an object with 500 Frames. I gave it a Motion Tween. Now I want to cut it down to 100 frames,without changing the Tween duration. Usually you can insert a blank keyframe, or remove the last 400 frames on that layer. But since it's a Motion Tween you cannot?
WTH is going on with Flash's timeline editor, this is ridiculously unintuitive.

For my project I am using the following:FlashDevelop 3.3.4 RTMFlash Pro CS 5 (libraries only, no code)Some time ago we started using TLFTextfields. One of the things I had to do was include the tlfruntime.swc file from the Adobe Flash CS 5 folder in the FlashDevelop project. Note that I copied this file to the project folder and included it, I didn't just include the file straight from the CS5 path. I have since been given a new computer that has Flash CS 5.5. I recompiled one of my swf libraries in CS 5.5, and now when I run the program, I get:Illegal override of createTextLine in flashx.textLayout.compose.ComposeStateI figure the tlfruntime.swc being included in the FlashDevelop project is out of date and needs to be updated with the one from CS 5.5. So I copied the tlfruntime.swc from the CS 5.5 path, include it in the FlashDevelop project (instead of the older file), but now I get this:
Illegal override of softKeyboardActivatingHandler infl.text.container.TLFContainerController.Can anyone assist with what else I need to do to get TLFTextfields working again in CS 5.5?UPDATE: I have updated FlashDevelop to 4.0.1 RTM, and now I get this error:Illegal override of createGeometry in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowGroupElement.
it seems GMap AF Component is definitely broken and the google maps flash interface at google code, is broken too. looks like there are only two options here:

- open a shadowbox with the map (rather than pop-up or new window)
