I have been looking around a bit everywhere, but everything I've tried just don't work.I am looking for a simple way to resize an externally loaded picture in AS2.Exemple:We have 4 movie clips (that we will use as containers), and 4 JPEGs, each with a different pixel resolution. What we need is to first, load these JPEGs into their movie clips (no problem for this part > using loadMovie), but then resize them (once loaded) so that they all have the size they are supposed to be (let say here they are all supposed to have a size of 150x100 pixels).Problem is, I have been trying many ways to resize them, but so far none of them work..._width and _height do not work either since they seem to work proportionally of the original loaded picture (ie. a 640x480 jpeg will not be resized same as a 1280x740, which I think is weird... but well).
I've got a few buttons on stage and each button loads a external swf. What I'm doing is adding this external swf to a movieClip (myMC) which is already present on the stage.The size of myMC is 730x340, I want that the external swf which is loading should fit perfectly into this movieClip (myMC).
i am trying to resize externally loaded swf`s that are 800x600 to fit in a preview window that is 124x93.. everything works great as long as the external swfs have a MC that fills the stage (i.e that is 800x600)
I am trying to resize an image and display it on stage but i get the.......... error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property bitmapData through a reference with static type flash.display:BitmapData........this is driving me a bit mad because i got most of the code out of essential actionscript 3.0.....I've tried to debug it myself but my debugging skills aren't very good yet
I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?
Went through your Flash Photo Album tute and it worked great. But I noticed when I went to resize (make them smaller) the pictures didn't show up anymore.
I have a main movie here that loads in an external swf through a container mc. everything is aligned and positioned to where it should be, and they are also set to that value onresize. the problem is, when my swf is loaded in, it works fine and is in the right position, same when you resize it. BUT, if you resize the window before the swf is loaded, it misaligns, until you resize!!
I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?
This the the project in a nutshell. The website has inventory that has three pictures for each piece of inventory that's paths are stored in a SQL database. Now when a piece of inventory is clicked it goes to the page that the slideshow will be located. Here is where the 3 pictures will be playing in a loop. The problem is I don't know how I'm going to get to pictures loaded into the .swf. XML is out of the question because I have 143,000 pieces of inventory and I don't want to have that many XML files. Is there a way I can access the database directly and pull the paths from there?
I have a problem. Using loadMovie(); i load jpg file and this picture is not shown. but only if I test it using internet but if i run it from HDD everything is all right.
I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0; //one loader object per project: var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader(); loadingobject1.x = 445;
as a part of a bigger project, I'm trying to figure out how a loaded picture can be moved across stage... AND looking smoothly while moving so far, all my tests have ended up looking not very smooth at all!check out my tests here
heres my code: Code: Select allimport caurina.transitions.Tweener; var _image:Bitmap;
[code]...
the third picture - the first to be moved - is a picture embedded inside a MovieClip already placed on stage.the second picture - the next to be moved - is a picture loaded into a Loader and then the Loader is placed on stage.the first picture - the last to be moved - ia a picture loaded into a Loader. then the content of the Loader is put into a bitmap, and then the bitmap is placed on stage.
Im making a site where I at the main frame load in a movie at a higher level. In this loaded movie I load in pictures dynamically with a function I use together with setInterval. I feel its a little bit anoying everytime a pic loads because it blinks. Is there maybe a smart way of fading the pictures in and out? I now it takes a lot of computer power using _alpha, and because I load in the pics I cant use tweening.
I have loaded 11 pictures through an array and a loop and then tweenlite'd them so them come on the screen from the right and move across 'til the middle picture is in the middle of the screen.Now, I am trying to figure out how to make it so I can move them to the right or left by a press of a button, (bntLeft and btnRight).Three pictures show on the screen at one time. So if btnRight is clicked then the 3 pictures which are off the screen to the right would come on and center in the screen. And if btnRight was clicked again then the pictures would move to the left and the last picture would come on.I don't know if that is going to make sense to anyone but me so I have created a picture to show what I mean.
This flash gallery is wonderful, however, since I do not know actionscript I need some assistance figuring out where to implement the order in which the pictures are loaded. This code views everything in the images and thumbs directory and loads it. 1, 2, 3, 4, (.jpg)The more pictures we add to the directory, the higher we make the number of the jpg.(51.jpg, 52.jpg, 53.jpg, etc) the number grows.How do we make it so all new images are loaded FIRST on the left and not on the right?I have attached the fla.
Ok First problem the pics load but the second FOR loop the buttons don't position themselves correctly. Second problem was in the getURL() It doesnt seem to read the variable picNamesA[i], I did a trace as you can see and it outputs "undefined".
(If i'm understanding the above code correctly...its loading the SWF into a blank MC i created called dropZone) This part seems to work correctly when tested.
I've got 4 different SWF's that need to be loaded seperatley when its coresponding button is clicked. The issue arises when I import the external SWF file...it resizes itself to the size of the flash stage. I need all the SWFs to be loaded and remain there original size (1257x847) or be scaled to the correct size. Then if I click another button it should load the new SWF and "unload" the old SWF.
I'm loading swf's via an XML file. I'm wanting them to be added onto the stage in the same order that they appear in the XML. The problem that I'm having is that they are added to the stage only when they are fully loaded.
I have a fairly chunky swf that I am loading through the loadMovie function. Just wondering if a loader can be added to let the user know the video is being loaded rather than a blank 20-30 seconds...
I have a simple gallery in my flash website. The gallery is a separate swf which is loaded into the main swf. When I view the gallery swf on its own, the images are crystal clear - but when it's loaded in the main swf, whether on my local drive or on the server, they come up all fuzzy. [URL]...
I have a problem with a caption. When i load a picture, the picture goes in front of the caption. I tried a swapdepths between the 2 mc's but it seems not to work. Here's my code : You can also see the swf online here : [URL]
[Code]...
You'll see that i have also a problem with the pictures loaded. I place the pic ni the middle of the scene, but when i click the button, i can see the picture moving.
With the assistance of a very kind member of this forum, I have got as far as getting an .FLV to load into my API via its own .SWF.
[URL]
click on "Animalia - Verse from the Zoo" to load the VideoPlayer .swf which contains the .FLV
I will add more functionality when I've solved this. Now that I have a Video Player which closes, the next set of hurdles to overcome are these:
Click "Close" with the .FLV playing and the sound keeps playing because the .FLV is still playing. Click "Close" with the .FLV paused and when you call the player back, it plays from the same spot. So, my tiny brain says it's an "add/removeChild" issue. Obviously when happy user clicks "Close" and then re-loads by clicking "Animalia", happy user wants the video to play from scratch. That's what I want, anyway. Not from where it left off after clicking "Close". I've made several attempts at adding a "remove FLV" object to the function and Event Dispatch method, but what I did is wrong because the code I put in removed the .FLV permanently and when you call the player back by clicking on "Animalia", the .FLV does not play at all. I'm going round in circles looking for the correct NetStream/removeChild/unload.nsplay/etc/etc .. AS3 coding and where to put it.
My .FLV video load object on "NewPlayer.swf" is:
var myVideo:Video = new Video(360, 264); addChild(myVideo); var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
[Code].....
My questions is:- What is the correct coding to get the VideoPlayer .swf to unload its .FLV completely, SO THAT when a user clicks "Close". Either with or without the .FLV playing, everything closes completely and when re-loaded, the video plays from scratch?
I am externally loading an flv into an empty movie clip container using loadMovie into a main swf. The flv is in a standard flv playback component and works fine on its own. But what I'd like to be able to do is pause the flv when any of the buttons in the main swf are pressed.
I'm working on an flash movie and the interface is a small town (simiar to "doritos.com" and "comcasttown.com") if you reference both the doritos and comcast sites their little movie runs smoothly. I have several elements in the town. For example, one of the elements is an airplane hangar. When you rollover the hanger, I created a movie, the doors open and an airplane flies out of the hangar. I have several little movies throughout the interactive such as this. I created the hangar animation as a seperate swf file. In my main movie I created a button, on rollover it loads the hangar swf into an empty movieclip. When I publish and view the swf it plays slow and choppy. First, is it possible to write actionscript to load the external swf ,but it stops on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover it continues to play.To put it all in a nutshell, I want to create several buttons throughout the movie with loadmovie functions, once the swf movies are loaded I want them to stop on the first frame of the animation and when you rollover loaded swf movie I want it to continue to play the animation. Should actionscript be applied to the swf movies first and preloaded into the main movie. And what will make the movies run smoothly once it's published and viewed in a browser.Also if this makes a difference, I created the animations in after effects, exported them as FLVs imported them into flash and exported them as swf. Again it runs really slow and choppy
I 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.
