ActionScript 2.0 :: .jpg Thumbnail-on-fly Generation Lag?
Aug 16, 2007
I'm making a picture gallery program and making it so that it takes images and resizes them to fit the proper thumbnail size, using onInit from the clip loader object and _xcale/_yscale. The problem is, the first time the thumbnail scrolls into the visible area, massive lag results; the app freezes for a solid half second until the thumbnail bar resumes scrolling. This does not happen with smaller pictures: apparently, Flash is being stupid and is reducing the size, but not the resolution, of the images. Is there a way to solve this problem other than
a) loading each thumbnail on the visible stage at first, then immediately repositioning into the bar (this would multiply load time substantially) or b) a server-side jpg resizer?

I have made a image-viewer. I've this AS for the viewer:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function loadXML(loaded) {[code].....
Now i would like to make a loop for the thumbnails so they don't have a beginning or end(Now when i scroll to the right the thumbnails stop at the last thumbnail, i want it to begin at the first thumb again).I'm also trying to make that the middle thumbnail represents the photo in target_mc.

I am making a gallery, which you can view here:[URL]ok, firstly, when you click a thumbnail, you cannot scroll them until you roll off the click thumbnail, and I'm not sure why. is it just a movieclip thing? or can I put some code in to re-get focus of something? ok, now for the two general questions:
1. When you roll over the thumbs, they go up, sometimes they flick back down though, even though you are rolled over them still. is this just because they are moving?
2. Does anyone know why when I add this:

Im trying to create via xml and a for() loop a thumbnails wiewer and each thumbnail have a simple onrelease function.....but my probleme is that my 'container' movieClip and 'BT' movieClip dont show when I export the movie...also when i trace()them the output is empty. maybe is because they are inside x.onLoad(xml){} function ? At the end of the script you can remove // before the trace() function for ckecking in the output panel. here is my code:
xml file: TumbLoader.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><slideshow><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/1.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/2.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/3.jpg" /><photos[code]...

2d Landscape Generation with Midpoint Displacementhey everyone... I'm working on implementing the simple 2d algo. described here:[URL]...html in actionscript. It's a simple midpoint displacement scheme, and it's almost working correctly. The problem i'm having is that the array i'm generating isn't sorting correctly. I need to sort it so that the drawing loop cycles through from left to right (on the x axis)... For some reason, it's not sorting points that are between [0] and [1] in my array. because the algo. is iterative, the problem snowballs the more iterations you run it for.
here's the code i'm working on. it's in 3 frames, and init frame to get it going, and then a loop in frames 2 and three (so that i can see the iterations as they're drawn out):

A bunch of us are trying to learn here at the office and we came up with a flash banner(very much duct taped on). We can not understand how to take the flash to display the number of buttons per the number of children in the xml... ie: 1, 2, 3, 4(slides or whatever). I've researched plenty on this forum but just can't get the flash to get past errors.
XML:

Wondered if anybody knows how customizable Flash swf files are made, where there appears to be a template swf that the user can then input some changes (eg text or image) and receives a newly-compiled swf file with their changes.[URL]
Constraints:- user receives a single output swf file that can be played with all their changes included. ie there is no reading from an xml file, or using Flashvars.

I am looking for a solution to this issue but I have not yet found anything conclusive. I would love to get some input. What I need to do is basically to take two or more individual PDF-files and merge them into one. Nothing fancy just sticking one after the other and ending up with one file.
I have found AlivePDF and purePDF but those libs both seem to be focused towards generating PDF's from scratch.

I want to write some games in ActionScript but I do not have any illustration skill. I am looking for a library that can help me generate simple but beautiful, colorful shapes I will then animate.
Recently, I have stumbled upon such a library, written in C++ and newly ported to javascript, but I can't remember it anymore ! Something like Raphael.js in ActionScript would be cool, but I really want to hear about solutions in any language.

My client has asked to generate pop art images for the user uploaded images, Does any one of you has done some work related to this? is this sort of work is possible in flex, flash, as3, etc,
There is one software named pop art studio, which generates such images. we have Image magic software with us, does image magic generates these sort of pop art images? i don't have much idea about Image magic.
one solution for this would have been, if these images were our images, then we would haven taken them as the separate parts of one image, and applied color transform or any other thing on those parts, and would have generated these sort of poparts displayed in the picture , but client requires this option on user uploaded images, so all this is not possible in that case.

Here is the code that I have just now:
Code:

This creates a constant stream of particles flowing from one point on the screen. I don't want the particles to constantly flow out from one point - I want to create a button that causes a set number of particles to explode out from it when it is clicked.

I need to build a web application in flash, the gist is the application takes users inputs and generates a network diagram based on that inputs. I actually coded the entire application in JS DOM and PHP GD, and client comes back suddenly saying they cant support PHP (IT restrictions). So now am back to square one, wondering, how to draw network images dynamically. JS cant do it. So I stumbled upon Actionscript. So if i were to code an application entirely in actionscript,
1. Does actionscript provide me a way to create input fields (select, text, textarea...etc)
2. Would i be able to use these user inputs from Question 1 to generate a network diagram?
3. Can actionscript do Question's 1 and 2 without needing support from a server side
scripting language like PHP?

tool which can convert a flash (.swf) chart to any image format to be later embedded to a pdf report. I am using Ruby on Rails as the dev platform. I have used tools from swftools (specifically the swfextract program) but it doesn't suit my use case as it extracts individual elements (shapes, movieclips, frames etc) which is not too useful.

I'm trying to get an external script to communicate with an application instance running on my Flash Interactive Media Server installation. I've got the following server side actionscript in my AppStart():
[code]...
The connection to an open socket on the localhost, port 16005 works fine, but when I try to write some xml to the socket that I accepted the connection on (running on the localhost), I never seem to get the onXML or onData callbacks on the server application instance. One question that I had was regarding the NULL byte. If the FMS application doesn't not receive the NULL byte, does that mean the callback won't happen? If so, can someone tell me how to take something like a Python string and *add* a NULL byte so that the FMS will invoke the proper onXML or onData callback when this data is sent?

I'm currently working on a Java/Flex project and I'm looking for a way to generate some parts of my Actionscript code from my Java files. One of the goal is to generate the AS valueObjects from the JAVA transferObject as well as some AS code to access the serverside function asynchronous.And other important point is that I want to be independent of some IDE. The code generation should run from Maven or Ant and take the Java source code as input.I looked a little bit around and found stuff like SpringROO, Groovy-GRAM, AST in eclipse,..

Has anyone worked with SION (sioncenter) synth within flash to generate audio sounds? I have been having a play with it to generate a piano sounds for my on-screen piano. It looks promising but i seem to have got a really bad latency delay with it. I have trying to link the keys on the computer keyboard so the user can play the on screen piano. I wasnt too sure wether to put each key into an array or just have them as a movieclip on the stage. Just as a testing method i used the stage. I have found a few examples here: wonderfl.net/c/fbIa and the latency delay is certainly not as bad as mine. If anyone has used SION could they possible give me a tip of how to optimise my code? Heres the basics of what i have created so far:

Here's a chunk of my code:
Code:
//This function uses loops to generate the grid from the array below.
function drawIt(theMap)
{
[Code]....
Basically, it generates a grid from two movie clips which are just different coloured squares. It reads in generateMap function to decide whether it will be a red square or a white square. 0 = white 1 = red. (the reds are going to prevent a sprite from travelling on them)
Anyway, at the moment the starting point for generating this grid is at 0,0 of the movie clip. I want it to generate at say 150,0 so i can add a console on the left which can control a sprite around this grid.

It works by reading an existing Class file, parses it, generates an Interface-like .as file for it, and saves it locally, all from within FlexBuilder. It works perfectly but I'd like to improve it by having it automatically open, modify and save the files with only a few user clicks required.Currently I'm using FileFilter, but this requires that the programmer manualy select each file to parse, and then manually select where to save the output - it's tedious.Normally I'd simply use AIR, but because of my company's security policies I am not allowed to create my own AIR applications.
