Well I'm creating a small image gallery of thumbnails and am looking for interesting effects when the big pic loads. I'm sick of just fading in images with the alpha setting and need some inspiration. I've done a google search but it revealed nothing of any use.
Do you know of any tutorials for this or fla downloads?
I have Flex application(not AIR) thats load image and perform some effects, application works well in flash builder and in the debug folder. But when I am trying to copy *.swf to another local folder, appears problems with image loading.
UPDATE You don't understand me, i am trying to load image from desktop using FileReference class, image shows successfully, but origBitmap after saveAsBitmap() method is null
public function loadImage():void
{
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelected); [code].....
Last week I had posted about getting a bit of clarification on dynamic tabs, as seen in this thread: [URL] The next step has my head spinning a bit. Here's the setup: This is a slideshow viewer, ala PowerPoint. Images are pulled in from an external directory via an array. Dynamic tabs are also generated in an array. Right now the demo has 10 images in the first array and 6 tabs in the second array:
[Code]...
now, some of the images will be part of a range - as in maybe the first three would fall under the "Safety" tab, next two under "Efficacy", etc....so when a viewer clicks on a tab the player loads up the first photo in that sequence. So: User clicks tab "X", this compares "X" with the range of images associated to "X" and loads the first in the sequence. Now, to add in more fun, there's a next and back button. So now if someone hits the next button then they should view sequentially the next image in the "X" image array (or sub-array). and the reverse for the back button. so my first thought is that I'd need to have the AS compare Safety with the imageList Array - something like

can anyone point me in the direction of a script that loads as such on this website: url...
-go to "collection"
-click on the image and see how the images are broken into long rectangles that then builds itself up to form the complete image.
how is this done?where can i find the script if it is at all?
Does anyone know of any good image effects that can be created with flash mx and photoshop?
One that comes off the top of my head is having an image be drawn in with an outline, then having it fill in with white and then have the full colour image fade in. Another is this one [url]...
I am working on an as3 slideshow class and I came across a blog post that gave me the idea to use better transitions than the sliding out and fading I originally intended to use. [URL]The source for that class is available and it is a good starting point but I wanted to check and see if anyone know of similar projects that had more effects. Right now I just have the random explode effect from the above link and before I start working on effects I wanted to see what was out there.

I load image to control than I applie some effects, and when I save image it's saving without effects. What should i do?
Here is the code:
private var byteArr2:ByteArray;
private var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
public function process():void

UPDATE Appears new problem as I am using var data:BitmapData = new BitmapData(currImg.width, currImg.width); saved image is small(size like image control) but I need to save image with original size. With var data:BitmapData = Bitmap(currImg.content).bitmapData; it worked
I've created an entire website from one .swf. No dynamic loading of other .swfs, or external content etc. Simply a few different buttons that navigate to different frame-labeled areas of the .swf via gotoAndPlay, etc. There are 8 different "areas" of the timeline to go to, each with it's own set of movie clips for that area.
As far as I know, the website works great on all computers and browsers with current Flash players. But I got a call from one of the owners of the business I created the site for and he's having an interesting problem: The preloader completes and takes him to the first area. He can see areas 1-4 just perfect. But when he click to go to area 5, less than half of the movie clips load in what seems to be a random order and then the rest of the .swf (beyond that point in the timeline) can't be accessed at all.
This could be common, but as far as I know, I've never heard of it. He's had someone at his site who is apparently "fluent in computer" look over his internet settings and cannot find any issues.
Anyone ever heard of this or know what I should suggest he try besides updating his browser and Flash Player?.
I'm currently working my way through Joey Lott and Danny Patterson's Actionscript 3 with Design Patterns book and ran into this code:[code]
View 3 RepliesI was at a website (link from my son's baseball group: Coach Wooden and saw an effect that I couldn't figure out how they did it. It's the "gleam" on the text that runs about every 5 or so seconds.You'll have to enter the site to see it.Just right off hand, it looks like the text is a mask, and it has a tween or .x motion applied.

View 1 RepliesI was recently given the task of creating the webpage for my school's physics department. I want to recreate a textbook where you would actually have to flip the page to get to the next section. While searching the net, I found exactly what I was looking for.

How on earth can I recreate that effect? I know it has somethning to do with rotations and dragging a mask with the mouse but how?
This is a test program to measure the time it takes Flash to draw a triangle 10,000 times.
The app (code below) calls runTimeTest() every N seconds which draws the triangle 10,000 times.
Now for the "interesting" part: each call takes increasingly more processor until after about the 6th or 7th call it goes to "infinity" (see screen shot of TaskManager)

I am trying to load a colour image and then it is changed to black and white image. Here I am using a mask. But it is not getting worked. The code that i am using for this purpose is attached following: import

I developing a site where on the homepage, there are about 6 images that rotate, but if you click on a sub link, a different image loads. But the problem is that, the first image has to cycle through before the second image loads. I want the second image to load immediately.

I have an application that I'm migrating from flex 3 to flex 4.5. In this application, there is some mx Image components that load a simple swf file (image). Spark image doesn't load swf files, so I was wondering, should I keep the mx Image, or should I change it to SWFLoader? Is there any advantages to using one or the other?
View 1 RepliesWhat would you use to create buttons which when pressed load an image in an image area within the same flash document?

View 2 RepliesI'm creating a moodboard application where the user can dynamically load an image onto the stage by pressing a thumb of the image in a menu item. I have most of that working but what I would like to know is that, if there is a way the user can interactively scale/transform the image when it is on the stage in the swf file?
View 2 RepliesI want to have an swf load an image file in an image container within the swf from the querystring. 1. In the query string I'd like the extension of the image file to not show:
2. In the swf I might have more then one place where the same howdy.jpg loads, but in different sizes. Which method would keep the aspect ratio of original and resize to fit varying container sizes?
3. I have some javascript parsing code with an swf example that I got from this page. [URL] But when I tried to alter the fla for my use it didn't work. I wasn't able to find 1 line of actionscript in the query.fla.

I would like to be able to add the functionality of being able to load different galleries from a menu without loading a new mc with gallery inside it. I managed to botch the file up pretty good on my own, and was wondering if there is a ready answer nearby.So I'm thinking have but1, but2 and but3, with a seperate xml file for each. What would you recommend for a smooth way to swap the the xml files to the gallery, and load the first image of the new xml file? Also, can it be done with one big ol' xml file while keeping the galleries seperate? It's not necessary, but could be handy, and save some loading.It would also be interesting to apply the same principle to the resizing script that Scotty has in that big Resizing thread, just a thought.

View 5 RepliesWe are moving from as2 to as3.In as2 we were able to load an image file (from a 3rd party website) and quickly dump it if it turned out to actually be an SWF.In as3 it seems you can't dump the a loaded SWF before it has started running.The sites we are loading images from DO NOT have a crossdomain.xml (eg tinypic.com) so we can't use the fancy features of URLStream.We have tried Flash 10's unloadAndStop but that seems to run too late and the loaded SWF has allready done mischief.
