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 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);

View 6 RepliesI 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.

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

//ListfilesOnServer is a list component
//btnGetList is a button
//txtStatusUpload is a textfield

I'm basically interacting with a third party API flash file to send HTTP POST requests to my server. know I'm on somewhat the right path because it requires a crossdomain.xml file, and before I added that part nothing in the POST variables was showing up, however since I added that file there are 4 variables that are set, these POST variables are sent by the application to give me basic information about the file.. but I actually need to read the RAW POST data to actually save the image being sent by the Flash.I'm aware there are 3 ways...$GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA which is probably the same as the firstfile_get_contents('php://input')For whatever reason, neither of these "work". By "work" I mean they're not being set, when I var dump them I get nothing.
Could it be that there's a setting in php.ini that I need to set, or perhaps the Flash application is truly not sending the actual image? I think it's doing the right thing, because it's a semi popular API and it's used by a couple other sites so I'm pretty sure it's right on their end.
I would like to intergrate 6 pictures in my AS 2 website, that uses XML, but i cannot manage to do anything. I added a flash magazine, but what it only does, is keeping my website loading hard and jerky. so i wanted to put a simple gallery with 6 images, and zoom so the user can read the newspapers images well, like 200% zoom so the text would be visible to the viewer. When it clicks on any of the pictures or a separate button,the newspaper image goes zoomed like 200% and, when the mouse is out the image zooms out, or click on the separate button and the image zooms out as its initial state.

I am wondering if someone knows how to create a picture gallery where the images are online (web hosting folder). I need a tutorial to add the script to my existing swf.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there was a way in Flash to preview externally loaded images in Flash while still working.I am loading images externally to keep the file size down on a piece of elearning but now I'm afraid maintenance will be a nightmare since you don't actually see the screens until you publish. I have interactions on the screens so I need to see them for their placement on screen.
View 5 RepliesI know how to build a simple slideshow. The particular slideshow that I'm working on has 50 images, and with all those images in the library, it makes the file 23MG and takes forever to load.Should I load the images externally? I know how to do that when using a thumbnail, or button, but how would I do that so that it loads in as a slideshow?
View 1 RepliesI'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;

Basically I am trying to make a flash file where a person can see themself in a scene...
i take a photo from a digital SLR...these pictures are then saved to a folder via wireless transmittor to a folder....
All I want is to be able to scroll though the images on within a exe presentation like a slide show but I will mask in a foreground.
I need a script to fade images in and out from a folder. Does anyone know of one? It could be AS2 or 3.
View 2 RepliesI'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.
What is the most simple way of loading whatever images are in folder and displaying them? If possible, not using xml/php/asp.

I'm working on an application where users can use their webcam to take a picture and load it to my server.They also will be able to do this from our mobile app.All images are stored to the same directory on my server.What I need to do next .. is I have a pattern of squares ( movieclips ) that makes a shape / design.I need a way to load this entire folder of images and make the individual images load inside of each of the individual movieclips that make up the pattern.I don't want to use any XML files.Is there a way to load the entire folder and then refresh the load of images every couple minutes ?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
Instead of plugging the paths to each individual jpg or gif into the XML. How would I get flash to load every jpg within a folder without considering the technical stuff.

View 4 RepliesIn the following application images are attaching from library as bitmap. But i want to load it externally.Actually what I am trying to do is that i want to divide an image in to several pieces and giving a disolve effect for transition. I got a code in which images are loading from the library as bitmap object. I changed it and loaded externally using bitmap, but i cant divide images in to small pieces. I think its due to the problem of loading as bitmap.i just want to modify the following code to load image externally.

In Flash, I can go into the properties of an image in the library and check 'allow smoothing' to enable resampling when the image is scaled or rotated.
How can I achieve the same effect for images loaded dynamically by the SWF from an external URL?
I've been looking into how to crossfade externally loaded .jpgs.So far everything I have found deals with slideshows and seems more complicated than what I need.I have created a new Loader that will load a .jpg when the thumbnail of the corresponding image is clicked.I am trying to get the currently loaded image to crossfade upon load completion of the new image being loaded.I'm thinking I can define a variable that is the current image in the loader and then on completion of loading of the new image run a function that fades out the current image and fades in the new image simultaneously.I am having problems trying to identify the currently loaded image of the loader into a variable.
View 2 RepliesI have the jist of how to load external images into as3. One thing that I do not understand is how to pull all the images needed and store them so that when you want to view a specific image it is not loading the image again.
I need help on how to pull about 10 images externally and store them in to movieclips or something so that when I roll over a button to display this image it will just call the movieclip and display the movie clip with a preloaded image already. I am also doing this dynamically.
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?
How do I import a set of images (a folder containing 10 images) into the timeline so that each picture appears in a separate keyframe? When I try to do this, all image seems to appear in a single keyframe. Or maybe this is they way to do it? I want to make a movieclip with 10 pictures showing after each other.
