ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Load Jpegs Completely Before The Movie Starts Playing?
Jun 9, 2003
Basically my code at the beginning of the movie queries the server for the file names of jpeg files that are to be loaded into sequential frames. The reason is that the user can enter file names into a database and the application plays them back without the user having to do any flash programming. Currently, my code is using a preloader in each frame along with some additional code to center the picture etc.
This is fine *but* I need all of the jpegs to load before the movie starts, not when the play head gets to each frame. I can't have any delay from one frame to the next. Delay in the beginning of the movie is ok. Can anyone help me with a method to dynamically load these jpegs completely before the movie starts playing?...once loaded they must be available for any frame to call immediately.

I was wondering if there was a way to dynamically load JPEGs and read their width/ height attributes before they actually land on stage. I have tried it once wherein I hide the targetted movie clip and try to utilize the INIT functin to check for initialize. This works pretty good except that a little dynamic animation I need tends to act a little later than it should creating a bug if u proceed immediately.

I am designing a website for my brother [URL]and have place a movie he created on the first page of the site. It is a Flash movie, and I do not have the original document. I would like to set it up so it loads completely, then starts playing on it's own once it has completely loaded. (Right now it loads a bit, then plays, then loads a bit more, then plays a bit more, etc).

I'm using the same code I always use for preloading another swf but it's not working this time. The problem this time is that when the loading bar gets to 16% every time you can hear the movie I'm loading playing in the background. I can just add a stop to the first frame of the movie I'm loading ("trial_1.swf") but how do I tell it to go to the second frame once it has loaded?
Here's my code:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest ("trial_1.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);

I can't believe how impossible it has been to find info about this. I'm sort of a beginner with actionscript, but this shouldn't be as hard as I'm finding it to be.
I'm using AS2. I have an ordinary FLV video playing with one of the skins that comes with the Flash software (CS3). That all works perfectly fine. What I need to do, however, is add a large "PLAY" button over top of the movie. I have made that work also. But, I need the button to disappear when the movie starts playing, because it is obviously in the way and making it hard to view the video.
Some forums suggested making that button disappear when it is clicked. That would be fine, except that the video player skin also has a play button, and if someone clicks that button instead of my new large button, I still need the large button to disappear.
So what I'm trying to figure out how to do is something like: if the FLV is playing, make this object (the button) disappear or become invisible. This can't be that difficult!

I have a file that dynamically loads JPEGs in two sizes (thumbnails and zoom). There is nothing in the AS concerning sizing, only loading and positioning.The site looked fine and now the pictures all have jagged edges to them (it's stained glass and the leading looks edgy instead of smooth). The photos that are loading look smooth upon uploading.I have them Publishing as, Flash Player 8, AS 2.0, JPEG Quality at 100, only Protect from Import is checked, I'm working in Flash CS4 on a Mac.

Well onjce again I have been scanning the threads and cant find a direct solution to my problem, or at least I dont know how to implement it if I have :s Anyway what I am doing is this.I am doing the website for a furnitre company that has a large product catalog, around some 200 photos. In the main swf. I have all the thumbs and when I click on one thumb depending on what category it is, it will load the external swf. and also a variable that says which photo to show (which frame to go to).
for examplle if I click on a thumb of a bed it will load beds.swf with a photo value of 6, which will go to frame 6 in the beds.swf. Now in beds.swf I am attaching a movie clip with an instance name of beds dynamically into an mc called photo_holder using the attachMovie function.
The beds movie clip has 40 - 50 keyframes with an mc on each frame which then holds the bitmap. So the target to one photo would be _root.photo_holder.beds_attached.bed1 Then I have a gotoAndStop(photo); action where photo is the variable I loded from level0. the problem is the following.
I can add a preloader onto a scene before everything, however, I only know how to make the preloader load all the photos. I dont want to do this cause if the user wants to view one photo, they have to wait for all 50 high res photos of beds to load, of course, they wont have to wait for the next bed they click on but its still a pain.
I tried doing some tests last night using the getBytesTotal() function but it only seems to return a value if what I am targetting is in the same frame number where I have that action. Otherwise it returns undefined. Since this clip is loaded dynamically, I have no idea how to preload something that hasnt been called on yet. Or in other words, get the Total Bytes of a photo before showing it, or whatever. Its kinda hard to explain,

Does anyone know if Flash has a limitation on dynamically imported jpegs? I find that maybe 30% (maybe more) of the jpegs I have do not import into Flash (using LoadMovie).I think I read somewhere that you can't import progressive jpegs dynamically. Is that it? Or is there something else?

I am so stuck on the simplest of transitions! I've just started using AS3 everything works fine so far, but I have been looking for weeks for a solution to this.... Please help me!!
I have a simple illustration with 4 buttons. Each button calls in a different SWF (movie) . The SWF fades into place and when you click on a different button it is removed and a new one fades into the same position.
My question is: How can I make the swf fade out completely after playing without pressing another button, so that I can see through my illustration in the background?

I'm using the following script to load external swf's in to a main swf, but when I simulate download, the sound of the external swf starts playing before it is completely loaded, i.e, when the percentage in the bandwidth profiler reaches about 60% the sound of the swf being loaded can be heard, and when the percent reaches 100, it continues playing and the content of the external swf are now visible.
var myLoader1:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader1);
var myRequest1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myMovie.swf");
myLoader1.load(myRequest1);

Weird problem going on right now. And I seriously don't know what this is about.
On my main timeline (new document)
I create a text. I convert that text to an image. I drag that image on my main timeline at frame 1.
Then I set opacity to 0%. Create a keyframe at frame 50. Then I Tween it. And at frame 50, I set opactity back to 100%.
When I test the movie (ctrl enter) it just doesnt show the tween AT ALL. It goes straight to the last frame.
When I just go to frame 1, and press enter. It does work like it's supposed to.

I have a gallery that reads an ms access database using asp and then loops through an array of records and duplicates an empty movieclip for each record. jpeg is then loaded into the movieclip and then a variable for the _x position is incremented and then the next one is loaded etc.I then use the same method to add the necessary labels for the images by duplicating a movieclip and adding a text fieldThis is all fine and produces a gallery of images but the problem comes when I try and position the labels according to the height of the image. I have tried every method I can think of to check the image attributes which are only available when it is fully loaded, but I keep getting a value of 0.
Code:
stop();
// Set variable holding image folder path

I have produced an app for iOS but when it loads the music from the iPhone doesn't stop.
I have read on forums that if an app contains sounds that the iPod will fade out but it doesn't for me. I have tried loading the sounds dynamically (these sounds don't play at all if the iPod is playing) and embedding them into the movie. Nothing seems to work sadly. I have ensured that I have all the recent updates for flash and the air packager and I can't find a solution to this anywhere.

I have the same button several times in a loaded swf. On release, I want this buttons to attach a "mcextra" into target x This mcextra moves on vertical position and shows inside a jpeg. How can I use the same code to all the buttons so I can attach the mcextra and load diferent jpeg images? I guess I`ll have to set a variable calling the jpeg, isn`t?

It has been a while since I worked with flash and I am picking up AS 3.0 now. I have this project that should load jpegs from a server. I found that properties like x,y position etc are accesible through the loader object and that you can add a click event to it. Let's say I want to display a list of jpegs in thumbnail format, when the user clicks on it, it should show a full size version. I am not sure what the best approach is to achieve this as I assume that when using the same loader object to download all images the click event will reference the last downloaded image, correct? Should I create a seperate class for all of this and load all images by instantiating this class for each image or is there an easier approach?
