View 7 RepliesIt seems that this should be a simple thing but I can't figure it out. I would just like my visitors to see a beautiful, still, jpg image in the space where my flash movie is loading...until it is fully loaded. I tried putting a background image in the cell (using Dreamweaver MX) but once I import the swf file, I can no longer see what's in the background.
When I select the flash movie in MX it only allows me to select a background color, not an image. I know that I can use a preloader of some sort to let people know there is flash content loading but I would rather use the opportunity to show a professional photo. Do I have to set this up the same way a preloader is set up but with a single frame maybe or is there an easier way.
I need to load background image from css to flash 8. Is this possible and if possible, how am I going to do it?
View 3 RepliesI have movie that has two different images... When the movie is loaded and reach the end, I have large button that onMouseOver effect has new image (smiling girl). The problem is that I want her to smile all the time while the mouse is over animation. That should includes the case when someone trys to type something and finally press small button to submit data. But when mouse cursor is not rolling over she should stop smiling...
The problem is that it's simple to have her smiling in every other case, but when the event as described occurs, she stop simling.. I try several solutions that came up in my head, such as attachMovie, createEmptyClip, different depths, rollOver/out etc, but it seems that I haven't bright idea what i should do i order to get the expected result.
I am having a lot of trouble to get a preloader working for this code.
Short Desc: i have a listbox which gets the data from XML page. once i click on any on of the lable in the listbox, a image loads in a movieclip.
I am trying to add a preloader to the moviclip. the code below is what iam using:

I am loading dynamically a big image into a uiLoader component. And using the following lines:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,followFrame); function followFrame(event:Event):void {
var dx:int = myUILoader.x + mouseX; myUILoader.x -= dx / 10; var dx1:int = myUILoader.y + mouseY; myUILoader.y -= dx1 / 10;
I manage to make the image following the mouse just fine. But the image always off center, as the registration ponit of the uiLoader would be on the left size, even if I try to align it to the center of the stage by:
myUILoader.x = (myUILoader.stage.stageWidth / 2) - (myUILoader.width / 2); myUILoader.y = (myUILoader.stage.stageHeight / 2) - (myUILoader.height / 2);
I am trying to load an image in Flex (AS3) which already exists:
<mx:Image id="Img"/>
With this code:
Img.load('[URL]');
The path is verified to work, but I always get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I used the code from the documentation and still receive this error!
I'm trying to create an as3 project that dynamically pulls images from a database and sticks them into the framework of a flash movie that I making with this. Currently I am following a tutorial (in as2, and I am converting it to as3 as I go along) and am trying to get images to load from the same directory as the project, but I am having issues with the Loader. I am a complete newb at as3 and as such have almost no idea what I am doing,Here is the entire code from my project.
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I want to give the users the ability to set the background color or choose image to make it background (Tile, Center and Strentch). I tried couple of things with no luck such as trying to chaing a Skin object and assign it.and tried something like:
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.setStyle("backgroundColor",uint(chosenColor));
I have a png clipart image dynamically loading into a movie clip. Is there a way in AS2 in which it would get the different color layers used in that clipart to display the color pickers related to those color layers. So that once i change the color in that color picker it would change it in the clipart as well. Basically i want flash to communicate with the png layers.
View 1 RepliesI 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 want to embed some video into my HTML page. As background I want to use big picture. And above it I want to insert loop video with (i.e.) walking man.So, can I embed video (without flash and any player controls) in page?Can I decode video with transparent background? Is there any codecs which support transparent background (alpha-channel)?
View 1 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash CS3 and i have been learning Action-script 3 over the past week. I have come quite a long way and i have made a site in flash but i just have a question.I have been using an image as my background and i am happy with the way flash automatically scales all the objects in my file but the background image does not scale. Is there a way to do this? I have found out things online which show me how to add auto-resizing to the background but this knocks off the flash auto scaling/resizing for everything else.
View 4 RepliesI am developing a website in flex. And in that, i am trying to set the background image of my application. like this: parentApplication.setStyle("backgroundImage", data.image_src);
From a different location.
My issue is that, the images that i have are small and hence they are being stretched when used as background images. I want to avoid that from happening. How can i do it?
was wondering if anyone could assist me with some actionscript. I am working on a project similar to this (thehideout.org.uk/refuge/) and making the background image move around as if it the scene is a POV.

View 2 RepliesEssentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a slight problem with loading backgrounds dynamically. When the index page loads i need one bg.swf to load dynamically, but when the user clicks another background button, a new background will replace the default bg.swf that loaded automatically when the page opened. I understand to load the new bg's into an empty clip. I just need to know how to automatically load a .swf once the page opens. Pretty basic,
View 1 RepliesI recently learned about scrollRect. Can anyone tell me how efficient it is? by this i mean i have a huge background_mc and use a stage sized rectangle as the scrollRect to scan the insides of that movie Clip. (like a vcam i guess). Since it only renders the rectangle area , is it safe to say it doesn't matter how large "background_mc" is ? or is it better to dynamically add portions to the background when its just outside the stage.

I'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 RepliesIs there a way to have Dynamic Text non-selectable and not have a white background? Such as a transparent background?
I'm looking to dynamically change text over a colored background.
I have two backgrounds on different layers, and an object that can be dragged around. What I want to happen is that an area around the object should be transparent so you can see the background behind the first background, and when the object is moved, the transparent area should also move. Kind of like a "see-through" effect.
View 2 RepliesI'm having issues changing a TextInput background color after the initial onLoad using AS2. On load, I have no issues setting the background color with this code:
Code:onClipEvent (load) { this.background = true; this.backgroundColor = 0x1E1C1C;}
However, I have a form validator run when focus is lost but yet I cannot set the background color at that point. For example, I'm trying to set the background color to orange and text to white if the field's contents are invalid. Even something simple like this doesn't affect the colors.
It seems like there are various hacks out there to change the background colour of the row of a datagrid but all of them seem to happen at render time.See: http:[url]....I have a datagrid where I need to change row colours to red then back to normal frequently based on changes to the bound ArrayCollection. So I'm looking for a way to change the row colours dynamically.Obviously as the changes are happening frequently it would be nice if changing the background colour of the row wasn't an expensive process.
View 2 RepliesOK here what I'm envisioning and keep in mind ive only just started playing with flash so I really am a total novice at this point: I want to have two buttons which load different jpegs which are pretty large (about 5000 width x 600 height) to animate as the page background. so in my BG layer for the main timeline i added a container movie clip (5000x600 also) and in the container movie clip's timeline i have it classic tweening across the stage back and forth. then on the main timeline i have my two buttons which are supposed to load the backgrounds. the thing that seems to be messing it all up is the fact that i call "stop();" in my action script to stop on my 3rd frame of the main timeline after the preloader etc. in my testing i added yet another movie clip that animates and it keeps animating when i cal stop(); but the background image is not animating any more.
