ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload .jpgs From External Array?
Nov 10, 2003
I am building a portfolio disk with the awesome photo gallery AS from here. This will be run from a cd and I want to preload the images in the arrays to keep everything smoooooth. I am building on current machine. When I tested a disc image on an older machine the transitions were slooooow. I figure preloading would defeat this. Is there AS to accomplish this or is it something simple like hiding the images somewhere on the timeline and using a normal preloader?

I'm currently doing a script in which I have to preload some external resources (jpgs) at the begining of the animation.I dynamicaly create my MCs in which I do my loadmovies. Classical.Now the thing is, a few frames later, I need to reuse the images I have preloaded in other MCs.The thing is there seems to be a problem in using dynamicaly created MCs, here is why this is weird :
- I import a MC from the library : I can duplicate it, and I *see* it on the animation
- the MC that I have created, that I *see* on the animation, doesn't want to be duplicated : by that I mean that when I duplicate it, it can't be seen.
Now if there is a simple explanation for that, I have another question : I have an empty MC in which I want to *copy* one of the very MCs that I have dynamicaly created at the beginingn what is the best method ? attachMovie ? doesn't seem to work, but yet again, all this might be related.

I'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();
[code]....

I'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.

how can you load external Jpgs into a swf instead of loading them and compiling the swf. so that they appear in the cache.

I'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]...

I wondering if with flash would be able to load in an external jpg file and then export the pixel data into a php application to rebuild the image?My concern is when an application loads an external resource it is just that, external and not local and therefore when I come to grab the pixel data will it grab the external resource in this case the image I've placed inside a movie clip?

I have 100 mc's loading external thumbnail jpgs via loadMovie(). I need a preloader of some sort to show the status of the thumbnails. The problem is that each of the mc's are loading JPG individually and I am not sure of how to combine their loading statuses into a preloader. The other option I had planned to use was to make one thumbnail larger in file size than the others so that it would load last and therefore I could use some onload function for this particular thumbnail, but I do not know what would be best to use in this case.

I am trying to load a couple of .jpg files by getting array data from .txt file. I searched this forum and found some code bits I could use. When I tested the file, getting array part seems to work fine (I get output for tracing), but nothing loads onto movie clips.
Here is the code:
var dataArray:Array
var dataLVs = new LoadVars();
dataLVs.load("vars/imgName.txt");
dataLVs.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){

Is it possible to have external jpg files that can be imported if and when you want them? For example, say you have a spot set aside in your flash to display a 100x80px poster image, and you want the ability to call up a different image each time, can you have jpgs files in a directory, each set to 100x80px size, ready to be called up? I can do it with the images set up as little flash files, but I wanted to know if you do it with raw jpgs.

I'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?

I have an app that "loadmovies" a slideshow.swf in a sub-folder. THis sub-folder also contains an xml file and numbered jpgs.But when I run the main app, and click on the button to load the sub SWF files, the images do not appear. I assume it is a directory issue.
But if I run the slideshow.swf directly from it's folder, the images appear fine.I am using the xml_photogallery from this site for the main actionscript, is there something I can change here to point to the jpgs path?

I have designed a homepage that has 4 boxes on the right hand side that are of different size. I would like to have a movie loader that loads .jpgs randomly from a specified folder into each box. At the same time I don't want any repeats in any of the 4 boxes. Also is it possible to resize the images according to the box size without having to resize them outside of flash? I can have all the images in the external folder the same size, but then if I can just shrink them with whichever image falls into the box the random script assigns.

I am having trouble with classes and loading external files, specifically .jpgs.I have a simple class, that looks like this,
Code:
dynamic class test extends MovieClip {
var nn;
function test() {[code]....
I have it attached to the stage, it traces nn repetitively until i load the jpg, when i load the jpg into it, it loses all of it class properties it seems...it stops the onEnterFrame and the nn is no longer there.

i am currently using this script to run through an array:
swfArray = new Array("images/indep/1.jpg", "images/indep/2.jpg", "images/indep/3.jpg", "images/indep/4.jpg", "images/indep/5.jpg", "images/indep/6.jpg", "images/indep/7.jpg", "images/indep/8.jpg", "images/indep/9.jpg", "images/indep/10.jpg", "images/indep/11.jpg", "images/indep/12.jpg", "images/indep/13.jpg");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("target1",2);
[code]...
is there a way i can add my current preloader to the array script so i pull in jpgs instead of swf files?

I'm creating an interactive tour (pretty much a controllable slideshow) and I have multiple pictures now that, if in the correct order, will walk you around my school. You can turn left or right at doors (the picture that you're stopped at will wait for input from either the up, left, or right button and when clicked will take you to the corrisponding picture) and will eventually lead you out another entrance of the school and take you back to the main map.
My problem lies in the pictures... I have hundreds of pictures each one needing to be referanced. The only thing I have figured out is that I need to use arrays to organize these pictures and make them easier to access. I have considered using XML to organize the lists of pictures but I cannot spend hours typing out all the names of the pictures.access my pictures from outside my flash AS3 project.

Normally I do get by with a lot of R&D, but for some reason am stumped and really pressed for time!An interactive file (say main.swf) is already ready to go.I now need to make this play over a background (say bg.swf) which is a fairly heavy file.
What I'm trying to do it this:Open a new flash document (say "index.fla")- on the first frame, call "bg.swf" by using "loadMovie('bg.swf', 2)"[where 2 is the level number] and then calling "main.swf" by using "loadMovie('main.swf' 4)" [where 4 is the level number]
Now the problem I am facing is this:"bg.swf" is quite a heavy file so takes quite some time to load, whereas "main.swf" is much lighter and loads before "bg.swf" buffers fully.
What I want to achieve is this:Create a new swf file (say "index.swf"), making sure that "main.swf" does not load until "bg.swf" loads completely under it. Note: I cannot make any edits to "main.swf" (which is like a slideshow) file and it is rendered such that it starts the slideshow after 5 seconds.

I have 3 swfs containing FLV instances, and one main swf file. There are buttons on the main file which link to preloaders for the other 3 swfs. I have created 3 seperate preloader swfs for the 3 sub pages, using movie clips and this code:
[Code]....
It preloads just fine, but it doesnt preload the FLV contained in each swf. It just preloads my 200kb swf file, not the contents, so my movie still has to wait to play. how can I get my preloader to preload everything so that when the SWF comes up, all data will be loaded and I can click through to the end of he FLV movie?

The project I'm working on needs to have a full screen video background. Naturally I want to preload the entire FLV before the action happens. Just wondering what the best way to do this would be?I can't embed the video in the library because it needs to be able to change via an XML file.
I've seen some people say to use the FLVPlayback object, but for some reason this won't allow me to fill the entire screen with the FLV...I guess it only allows for proportional resizing or something?If I use the NetStream method, is there a way to preload the video other than using the bufferTime property?

Does anyone have experience with preloading (completely) external images for a flash interactive?
I have built a working preloader, but it does not include the external images in its calculations so the preloader finishes and THEN starts to load the external images..
