View 1 RepliesI'm trying to go through a for loop, create a movieclip for each database entry, add the image by url stored. The problem is the code I have only does the last image. I know it's because something is not incrementing and they all have the same name. Do I need to increment the name of my loader?[code]...

View 4 RepliesI've been trying to preload 2 jpgs and then load them onto 1 movieclip which I move around the screen.Having the jpgs showing on 1 movieclip is vital to my animation. Tried various approaches using createEmptyMovie(),DuplicateMovie(), loadClip() etc. I'm sure this should be fairly easy but just can't get it to work.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a slideshow that loads pics (jpg) from an external folder ("pics/") into dynamically created MCs.What I want is for the script to detect how many pics are in the folder (for future changes), create as many instances of the MC, and load the pics into each one. The MCs will need to take the W and H of the pics, and line up next to each other. This last part is not as important, I'm just wondering how to determine the number of pics in the folder. Do I need XML or will AS 1.0 or 2.0 do this?
View 1 Repliesbut basically i have 100 buttons being generated and assigned names ( eh_1, eh_2, eh_3, ... ). On press they are controlling several functions but i would also like them to load a corresponding jpg into a blank movie clip. the jpgs are labeled... (1.jpg, 2.jpg ....)
Code:
var currentButton:Number = new Number();

Firstly I aim to load random jpgs into a movieclip from a folder online. online image dir As jpgs will be constantly added to this by anyone, I will never know the file.jpg names to put into my AS. So i was advised I needed PHP to do this, (I know little about PHP) I got some space where PHP works! PHP enabled Right so at the moment I have a Movie Clip in flash with a piece of AS that says
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables("http://www.cppa.co.uk/t/test1.php", this, "GET");
filenames.split(":");[code]....
But when trying my php file through firefox its says (php file ."Parse error: parse error, unexpected '.' in c:websitesfreecrystalwww est1.php on line 5"
how to make this piece of PHP script send the flash the filenames of the directory, so flash can random insert on into a movie clip,

View 1 RepliesWe can swap depths of movie clips... ok....what about JPGs? I have an empty MC where I want to load images from an array and then starts swapping thier depths.Here is the script I use for loading them and the script I wans hoping will work for swapping thier depths:

How would I swap the depth of image 6 (image_arr[5].) and have it come to the surface?
That was supposed to be my first preloader dealing with an XML file and external jpgs ... searched the forum, found something that looked/sounded like it would work, tried to adapt it to my particular situation and ... (surprise!) ... it doesn't work. Let me add at this point that I'd consider myself a "very casual" ActionScripter (if there is such a thing), meaning that most of the time, I try to learn as I go along, without any *real* background knowledge. Here's my situation - methinks it's rather straightforward: SWF file (project.swf), XML file (config.xml) and a bunch of jpgs all in the same directory - nothing exotic so far. Here's the AS I (try to) use in my SWF file to load the xml and the imgs therein:

I have a gallery that loads external jpg's. I'd like to have the gallery start and while viewing the images, the rest are loading in the background.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently making a xml driven photo gallery. The first stage is loading in the thumbnails, each thumbnail will preload individually. I pretty close to acheiving this except my current script only loads in the first jpeg. I have tried everything and I jsut can't find a problem. Anyway my code is below if anyone gets a chance to look. Sorry its a bit hefty. I think the problem is with the ThumbLoadingEnterFrame and LoadNextThumb functions.
PHP Code:
count = 0;
var thumbImage = new Array();
var thumbClip = new Array();
var jpegImage = new Array();

View 2 RepliesAt my job I frequently have to create Flash banners for major newspaper's websites. The specs that usually come in require a max file size of 30k or so. Usually my art department will hand me 3 or 4 screens that they want to simply move through in a loop. No biggie, until they start adding images to the files.
When I complain to them that the images are making the file sizes too big I am usually queried as to how other advertisers on these sites have full video in their ads. I understand that there are pre-loaders as well as allowed larger file sizes if you pay more for the ads.
getting image sizes down in Flash so that the images don't end up looking horrible?
I'm setting up an online picture gallery. I'm trying to make it easy for the client to insert specific images, dynamically loaded, have them appear at 63 percent. If the user clicks on one, it enlarges to 100 percent. Trouble is, when the image is at 63 percent, it is not smooth and looks terrible,All the BitmapData class solutions posted online work for individual images. But I can't figure out how to automate the process in a for loop. At this point I'm not even worrying about the enlarging. I just want the images to load at 63 percent and look smooth.Below is the code for two images. Later I'll increase this to 25.
On the stage are two colored rectangle movie clips: toon1 and toon2. I want the dynamically loaded jpegs to load inside them. The client will manually edit the last lines whenever she feels like it, to choose which images to load.What I need is an elegant AS2 solution in which any dynamically loaded jpeg will be smoothed.
for (i=1; i<=2; i++) { this["toon"+i].createEmptyMovieClip("cartoon",this.getNextHighestDept h()); this["toon"+i].cartoon._xscale = this["toon"+i].cartoon._yscale=63;
[code].....
So what I want to do is load up external JPGs into an Array of MovieClips, and then go to the main onEnterFrame function. [code]...

Since I don't know Action Script , I'm basically learning as I go.One file is stumping me. I need to make auto-playing, looping, slideshow that consists of a series of JPEGs. These Jpegs are called from the companies server, and since they are basically weather images that shows doppler radar, they will be updated several times a day.
