ActionScript 2.0 :: Pulling Images From A Folder -> Theory?
Aug 27, 2003
I would like to create a swf that pulls images from a folder, creates a thumbnail for them and preloads them. This would have to work like a bare template that could pull 2 or 20 images depending on what folder it is placed in. I'm not asking for code here, what I would like to get from you is thoughts on what works, and what doesn't. paste code if you want to explain someting, but really I just want to be able to wrap my head around this, and then code it myself, and comeback here with specific questions if I run into problems. I would like to keep this to just flash and php if at all possible.

I am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.0.I want to make a photo.jpg that is in my images folder load into a swf that is in a swf folder. It works fine when I have the photo.jpg in the same folder as the swf. But it does not work when I have the photo.jpg in a different folder. What must I do to the AS2 to make this happen? Here is the path: mcLoader.loadClip("swf/images/photo1.jpg",mcHolder);

Here's my problem. I currently have a Flash banner on my website that displays artwork I have made. However, it currently just shows jpegs that are embedded into the Flash file. Is there a way that I can set up a directory in my domain and just have the flash file pull these external images, at random to display? Also, it should be noted that it shouldn't pull the same image twice. That would look silly I would make the files all the correct resolution and size, so resizing is not an issue. I know you can do this sort of thing with javascript, but I want more control and a more stylish appearance.

I have a slight issue generating a swf using the flash IDE. I can import c300 images via the 'Import To Stage' option but then the program crashes and dies as it runs out of memory.
Is there a way to create a swf by reading a folder of images? PHP is a possibility but the swf capabilities are limited.

I'm not sure what's going on...basically, I have a flash file that loads images from a xml file and this works fine without any problems. But when I try to load the swf file into html, the images only load if the html file is in the same folder as the swf.I'm not sure if this is related to a problem with the xml link in the swf file or something else... this is how the xml is being called from the swf:
Code:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;

I'd like to tell a movie clip to look into a specific folder (via url or whatever) and load all images from that folder into the movie clip. I do not want to have to give the movie the exact address of each image, as they files may change / be added to over time.
i know in AS3 i have to use the loader class and then the addChild to put the loaded stuff into the movie (and thats all i know), but i just dont know how to get all available images blindly.

I want to create a flash app where the site owner can simply put images in a folder, and the flash app finds all the images in the folder, and will display a slide show from them.
Is there any way to list all files in a folder, so I can load them without prior knowledge of their names? I'd prefer not to have to tell a dumb customer what an XML file is and how to edit it, and also the images need to keep their original names so I can get titles for the images from the names.

I just want to count how many images in a folder.
.asp, php or any script, which can count no. of image in a folder, so that i can call that value to flash.
For now, i m doing this with the text file, but i manually have to enter a value for no. of images in that text file. Instead of that, I want that my script should count no. images in that folder.

To load an external image we useCode:loader.load(new URLRequest("Pictures/image.jpg"));Can we make it load every image knowing only the folder name? Something like this (this code does not work obviously, but trying to grab all images from folder):Code:loader.load(new URLRequest("Pictures/*.*"));

I'd like to load the images in the folder dynamically without using XML.
Is there a mechanism in AS3 that enables me to read directly the content of images folder directly without using XML or should I use php to do that?

I have a really annoying slide show that shows pairs of before and after pictures. What I need is to be able to preload a folder of images and then load those images into movieClip holders. I have no idea how to get the images to preload.What I really wanted is a slide show that has pairs of images that fade from before to after. With buttons along the bottom that take you to the next pair of images. AND have all the images loaded in from an XML document. Bonus to anyone who can give me a hint on that one.Really i would settle how to preload the images while the preloader is going. And then loading the first pair of slides. [URL]

I am trying to figure out how to load a folder of images into an array.
I'm not sure how to do this?
I don't want to have to reference each image, but just reference the folder, which will load in all the images to an array.

I have a little Flash header and each time it loads I want it to load one of six images randomly, onto the stage as a background... The images will be sitting in a folder in the same directory as the Flash file so they can easily be updated, anyone ever done this?

I have successfully gotten my images to load externally and randomly into 4 different boxes on my stage. My problem now is with the code I'm using, you HAVE to specify how many images there are in the actionscript. My goal is to allow for future updates to be done outside of flash and all we'd have to do is add or remove images in the external image folder. Here's the code I'm using:

I made this flash CS3 project using Actionscript 2.0 I want to import some images in a folder to stage. The images are named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg etc.. All these images are 600px in width. I used a movieclip as a container for these images.
[Code]....
When i run this code, only the last image is loaded. since i used Actionscript Code:
i<3 in the for loop, only the 3rd image is loaded. its in the right place. (_x = 1800). The first and second images are not loaded...
