I have the next code: Im trying to make a preloader for the image that gets loaded in a movieclip called picholder, Now the problem is that i get undefined back for the image so i cannot preload what is not there hehe and im not sure what im doing wrong In my other fla the image passes fine and the code is the same

I have one swf called main.swf which has a container movieclip that gets external swf's loaded into it.
my external swf is called hosting and it calls an array of data that is loaded into a movieclip that is duplicate for each element from the database. The elements from the database are as follows:
Business
Economy
Power
Standard
Each one of these has a button over it that when press loads information from the database into a movieclip that contains a textbox. My button code is: _root.movieclip.loadVariables("url to database");
This works flawlessly when I run the hosting.swf by itself, but when it is loaded into the contianer in the main.swf the buttons dont work. I believe that it is the _root in the button call that is causing this but I dont know how to fix it. I think the _root variable changes when hosting is loaded into the main.swf.
I have 4 Movieclips on stage, each called btn1, btn2, btn3 and btn4. Inside each movieclip is an image and then a layer above it called cover_mc.The piece of code i have here, which is located on the main timeline, should be registering a MOUSE_OVER command and then fading out the cover_mc movieclip from within that particular Movieclip im hovering over.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

i wrote my script wrongly cause the preloader only appear after the image is loaded. below is my code.
var preloader_mc:Mc_preloader
for (var i:Number = 0; i<15; i++) {
var productGroup:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(productGroup);

I have added a preloader to my website with a progress bar and percentage loaded number count using the following code;
Code: Select allstop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{
[code]....
This however only determines the progress of what is stored within the main SWF file.Is there a way of doing the same thing for dynamically loaded data? I am importing SWF files into my main SWF website using this code;
Code: Select allvar my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("FILENAME.swf"));
addChild(my_loader);
How can I make a preloader that shows percentage/bar for a movie loaded in with LoadMovie?
I've tried using a normal preloader (the one from Kirupa) in the "to load" movie, but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to have the preloader assess how big the movie to load is, how a bar etc. and have the movie hidden until 100% is loaded (as seen on the bar)?
how do i make a preloader for one image in my file?

View 1 RepliesBasically I have a background image which is loaded while the rest of the flash file is loaded. So once the preloader has finaly appeared its already half way through which I dont want.
Is there a way I can specify a certain image to be loaded before everything else in the flash file and before the first frame to start?
I have used flash for a while, but I've never been able to fully grasp the preloader, and how to write code for it. I understand the function of it obviously, but whether to put it on the movie clip or separate actions layer confuses me. I am trying to create a preloader with a movie clip that loads an external image.
View 1 RepliesHow do I make an external movieclip preloader? Anyone know of a good tutorial because I have been trying for the past 12 hours to get a preloader to work(no not 12 hours straight lol). My file is 2.6 mb so I really need the preloader. Or if there are any free programs that make preloaders that would be good too. Or any components that have a tutorial with them(also needs to be free).
View 6 RepliesI have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.

View 1 RepliesI loaded a swf and placed it in a movieclip on the stage. When I try to make this image clickable nothing happens.
Here's my code:
Code:
var sprite = cHolder.addChild(ldr)
sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, displayCat);
If I attach a listener to the movieClip on the stage it works fine but I can't seem to get the image inside of the clip to work.
I'm doing an image gallery from xml file, and the thumbnails have diferent sizes. Around the thumbnail there is a border, both are diferent movie clips (thumb and border). they reside inside a main movieclip wich is being duplicated.
So I need to resize the border according the new size of the thumb movieclip, but flash actually gets the value from the starting value of the thumb, not the size after the file was load on to it.
I just thought flash would read the new value if i set the var for the width after the load movie, but that ain't happening =(.
My code so far:
Code:
function createButton(newObj, thumbNode, bigImageNode){
duplicateMovieClip(thumb_base, newObj, depthCount++);
var tempName = eval(newObj);

Hi there I am still a novice to Actionscript 3 and would like some help please. I am creating a grid style image gallery that is XML driven. What I need help with is getting my images to, at random times, swap out with another image. Each image is added inside a Movieclip and can be unloaded. What I need is to load another random image into the now empty MovieClip. Hope this is ok description.

I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0.I think there is someone who spends 2 minutes of your valuable time in providing solution for my problem or issue.
My description for my problem(with layer numbers/names) starts from here: Layer-1: I am loading an external image(.jpeg) onto the stage dynamically when "Submit" button(which is created & placed in Layer1) is clicked using the following sample code:
[code]...
The jpeg image is loaded perfectly and works fine.
Layer-2:When I click on this loaded image, a Pop-up must be visible. So, I created Pop-up in Layer2, which is nothing but a MovieClip(with instance-name myPopup), is a rectangular box with light-yellow colored background, which makes us to feel like a pop-up). So, I created this Pop-up in a layer named "Pop-up". My requirement is : Whenever I click on the image loaded, I need to view the Pop-up upon this loaded image near to the pixel-position where CLICK_Event has occured.To view an example of my requirement,just go through the following [url]Once you open the above url, then you right-click on the right-side image(which is a geographical map). You can view a Pop-up with some of the items(viz., Directions from here, Directions to here, Zoom in, Zoom out & Center map here)
Layer-3:In the same way, in my application ,I want to display few hyperlinks on this pop-up. So, I had created TextFields on the stage(which are hyperlinks) using "Text Tool from ToolsBox" in Layer3 named as "TextFields". I am accessing these TextFields using
<TextField-instance>.htmlText to make it a hyperlink.So, here my problem is: After loading of the jpeg image, When I try to click on the image, the Pop-up(MovieClip) and "Submit" button appears to be under the loaded image and the TextFields are visible over the loaded image.Hence textfields/hyperlinks visibility works fine i.e., on the loaded image as hyperlinks.
Now, What I should do in order to make the MovieClip(Pop-up) and "Submit" button visible on the loaded image?
its possible to make a glow filter effect around ONLY the image in a loaded transparent PNG?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to make a dynamically loaded image actually move across my screes. So far, my script loads the image, but stops after 1 frame. Without the loaded image everything works just fine. It's all Action Script, so my gues is that I probably missed something along the way.Here's my script:
Code:
scaler.loadMovie("image.jpg");
set the starting value for 2 variables
var targScale = 45;[code].........
I've written a simple preloader which I've put in its own movie clip. The code is as follows:
[code]...
The code works out a value between 0 and 1 called 'loadVal' this is used to animate a masking object a distance defined by a variable called 'yShift'. loadVal is rounded up to give a whole number that is displayed in a text field showing the percentage of the movie which has loaded.The preloader seems to be running and it will trigger the move to play when it completes but I can't see the preloader previewing in the Bandwidth Profiler, even when I set the data speed to be very slow. I've noticed this issue before and it is annoying as I need to see how the preloader looks and works.
I am loading an image into a movie clip via AS3, and what I want to do is center the image inside the movieclip. The problem is that I can't seem to grab the width value of the image being loaded. Below is what I'm doing:
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name));
screenBox.screenHolder.addChild(imageLoader);
trace(this.imageLoader.width);
When I trace the width, it always comes back at zero(0) even though there is an image inside the imageLoader. What is it I need to do to find the actual width so I can center the image?
i am using a kirupa XML gallery (v3 i think) and i want to keep the loaded image on the screen until the new one is completly loaded. Is there any way to transfer one loaded image to another movieClip or I have to do it all the way with 2 movieclips objects and use them alternatively!
View 1 RepliesI have a MovieClip, and inside of that is a Loader that loads an image. I have an INIT event listener, which fires a function like this:
Code:
private function BoxartLoaded(event:Event):void {
(event.target).parent.addChild(event.target.content);
}
I assumed that would add the image to the Loader's parent MovieClip once loaded, but it tells me that "parent" isn't valid.
What's the proper method for adding a child to a Loader's parent?
Im having problems with assessing the size of an image after having loaded it into a movieclip using MovieClipLoader.Im trying to use the onLoadComplete-method to determine when the image is completely downloaded into the imageholder-mc, but Im just getting the original size of the mc, not the image's.[code]
View 3 RepliesWhen calling a swf with a two-scene preloader from within a Flash interface, the load status bar pops up showing 100% loaded, and the loader bar just sits there like that until the movie loads. The preload progress bars work as expected when the swf's are called from an HTML page.
View 4 RepliesI wonder if any of you can point me in the right direction. In my stage I have a movieclip where I want to load several images with different sizes.

I am loading a set of thumbnail images from an array [hard coded] into a movieclip symbol on the stage. I have two arrays with the thumbnail and the full size image having the same index number. In many examples, "event.currentTarget.contentLoaderInfo.url" returns the full path to the image selected. i just want the index number. Adobe does not make is easy to figure out what other properties are available to me from the contentLoaderInfo. Is 'SelectedIndex' or something like that available? Where does an inspiring AS programmer find the contentLoaderInfo properties and or methods available? Is url the only thing that us usable here?

loader.load(new URLRequest("images/" + images[0]));
addChild(loader);
