View 4 RepliesI'm building a flash movie for something at work and im loading in some images using an XML file but when i use a preloader it only preloads the XML file (as in just the text inside) and not the images.
This causes the movie to start playing without having the images loaded.Does anyone have any ideas about how i could get it to preload the contents/images being called in the XML file so it doesn't run as soon as the XML file is loaded.

Would anyone have an idea why some images (being pulled into a FLA file via a UI loader) would show up in my SWF file (on my harddrive) BUT, will not show up when I upload the SWF/Images to the ftp/web??
It works perfectly fine on my local harddrive. The UI loader has the correct AS coded, and it successfully brings in the images when I look at the SWF file on my computer. However, when I upload the SWF file to the web, it will not show the images being brought in by the UI loader?
I made double sure that the images were actually uploaded to the website, and they were. I even took the WHOLE site down, and reuploaded it, again, making sure the images I am referring to are up on the web. It all looks correct to me.
I'm creating a web site using adobe flash cs4. I need to insert an images slideshow but i have a problem and I cannot understand what is the solution. I import in my library many images which I put into a layer after converting them to a movieclip. When I press enter I can see the images but when I press test movie i cannot see them.
View 5 RepliesI have what I'm sure is a very basic flash question. I have a flash movie (swf) and the accompanying fla file. I can open the fla file, and see all the images used in the file (symbols in the library), but how can I export or save one of these images separately from flash?
View 3 RepliesI have a project in AS3 which has 20 different images, I have animated these instances images (mouseOver), at present all images are in the library (movieclip), but now every time that I want to change an image I have to change the whole FLASH file.
Can some one tell me how I can use a separate folder on my host site called (images) and use a XML file to pull each image from that folder rather than I use the actually image in the actual flash? This way I can easily change the images.
Also how can I add stroke to the image (a little white border around my images).

Relating to my four pictures. All of the names are correct, everything is correct, so not sure why I am getting this error. Even wierder is when I comment out 3 of the images in the xml file, and just try the one image, I get no error at all (The picture isn't displaying, but atleast I get no error).
I have a folder containing some images named 01_image_name.jpg, 02_image_name.jpg, 03_image_name.jpg, ... wich names I read with a PHP script. Then I loop loading each image and waiting until all are loaded to display them
1. The PHP script reads file names and returns a string with names separated by a "|" char, then I use the split method to store them in imagesNames array and sort it2. I loop trough imagesNames array loading images3. Anytime a new image arrives I push it in imagesContainer array and check if all images are loaded to show them
The problem is there's no guarantee they arrive in the same order they were requested. So, how I sort the imagesContainer array by file name, i.e. in the same order they are in imagesNames array?

When doing a preview, flash loaded quite fast and you were able to see the preview in only a few seconds! But suddently it has become slow! Now it runs to about 80-90% in loading when pressing CTRL+Enter and then it stops, and you have to wait like 10 seconds to see a preview.. Why is that? The file only contains around 100 lines of AS and 2 images!!

I'm just starting with Flash CS4. I have done a whole heap of vector images and before I did anything I turned it into a movie clip but for some reason they are no longer movie clipped. How can I get my vector layers from the "Scene 1" and move them into their own movie clip?
Also I have done them all in individual files (never again), but how do I get all the individual .fla vector images and layers into the same file?
Cut and Paste just doesn't seem to work like PS.

View 11 RepliesThe home page of our site (URL...) uses Flash animation that was created by an agency outside of our organization. We are undergoing a site redesign and are interested in giving our Flash characters less real estate, so I am trying to determine if it is possible to make the characters smaller.I thought I might be able to do that with the height/width attribute of the object tag in the html, but I guess that would have been too easy.I know zip about Flash but do have CS3 at my disposal.Is there a way within the .fla file to make the animation smaller?
View 8 RepliesI have a Flash web app which displays user submitted PNG files. Files are uploaded to the server via some API prior to being displayed. I'd like to make sure no "bad" files are served to Flash, where "bad" is entirely unspecific. Is there a way to validate PNG files against the PNG specs (this would catch corrupted files)? Or any best pratice on dealing with untrusted image files? I only need to handle PNG, so JPG, GIF etc. support is necessary. Language mostly does not matter, though I'd prefer Python solutions. This is on a Unix webserver.
