ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Loaded Images Sequentially To Display List
Aug 13, 2009
I'm working on a client's website. I use loaders to load various images and then I add them sequentially to the display list. These images include a big (BIG, ie, 6000x1500 , 220kb image) background image.. All of the images being loaded are PNG.. The site is fine and the images are fine/show up on a majority of browsers. However, after trying to view the flash file (at a .swf extension -- not embedded into html yet) on IE6 and on Chrome on only ONE of my laptops, the background .png does not appear and does not seem to have be loaded at all.
I haven't assigned loader listeners (i.e, there is no preloading).. Does the loader class have some sort of size restriction? I think not because it is working on some browsers and not on others. Otherwise, how could the actual PNG be at fault? I've temporarily fixed the problem by importing the background into my library and calling it from the actionscript but I would definitely prefer to load it dynamically or at least know why it is not happening as expected on some browsers/in some cases.

I need to preload all the 3 images on the first frame of my movie before it starts playing. All I have been able to do is this :

I have a 3 frame movie clip called "morePix" shaped like a forward arrow. The morePix.onRelease() function loads an external movie using MovieClipLoader(). When the movie loads a back arrow comes up. Eventually I will have about 5 external movies loading into this MovieClipLoader() and I will want the forward and back arrows up until I get to the last movie. I'm trying to figure out how to create a loop or an array to load these movies. I hope that makes sense. It seems easy but I'm stuck. Here's the code I have so far...
morePix.onRollOver = function (){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
[code]....
The sequential movie clips will be pics3, pics4, etc. this is in Flash MX 2004

I'm trying to implement this for an instance of ComboBox specifically, which uses a List to display the dropdown menu full of items. Lists can have icons associated with them, as described in the documentation:
var comboBox = addChild(new ComboBox());
comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider([{label:'item1',iconClass:IconClass1},{label:'item2',iconClass:IconClass2}]);
comboBox.dropdown.iconField = 'iconClass';
... assuming IconClass1 and IconClass2 are valid classnames of symbols in our library, this code works perfectly.
Here's my question - the contents of this ComboBox will be XML-driven, populated dynamically, and I'd really rather include that icon reference as a filename instead of a classname, so that when the whole thing is implemented, the icon can be changed in the XML without opening Flash and adding a new symbol to the library. Clients aren't generally good at that sort of thing.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to find a way to reference the container for the instance of that icon class - the ComboBox.dropdown is obviously keeping a reference to each list item somewhere, and if I can find it, I can load the icon images dynamically, then addChild them to the icon instance.

I'd like to be able to use some raw 3d coordinates from a text file and display them, joined sequentially in a wireframe model. Then be able to rotate, scale etc the resulting model. The coordinates aren't from a 3d drawing package but rather measured - therefore each point is literally assigned three numbers, in a tab delimited file. With a large number of points (i.e. over 100) is there a way to load in the file and then generate the resulting model?

how to sequentially play external SWFs loaded into the main timeline?
I have several SWF files with short videos embedded in them. I wish to load these external SWF files into my main timeline as follows:
User Presses Button -> Play Video Clip in External SWF#1 -> Once Video Clip in External SWF#1 has Finished -> Play Video Clip in External SWF#2.
I tried achieving this by adding: var endmovie:Boolean = true; to the end of each video clip inside the external SWFs (e.g. 1.swf) then cycling through an if statement in the main timeline to see when this condition was meet:
ActionScript In Main Timeline:
Code:
var mc_Loader = new MovieClipLoader();
mc_Loader.addListener(this);
[Code].....
How is the best way to go about achieving this? Am I on the right track? (By the way, using .FLV or one long external SWF file is not really an option due to long loading times...

I have a list containing display objects from throughout the application (insertion order). I want to process the list either top-down (parent, child) or bottom up (child, parent). The only requirement is that either a parent is processed before any child or vice versa a child before its parent. What is a good approach? This question is not about sorting a list. It's about retrieving the depth of a particular display object.
Example
Display list:
A (root)
B1
C1
C2
D1
B2
......
My list:
list = [E1, F4, A, B2, B1, C3, ..., N9, N8]
Bottom-up:
N9, N8, F4, E1, C3, B2, B1, A
Top-down:
A, B2, B1, C3, E1, F4, N9, N8
Does not matter if N9 before N8 or N8 before N9. Important is that any N is before M (first run) or any M before its children N* (second run).

It's my understanding that a display object cannot be in the display list more that once.So if I add something to the stage shouldn't a second addition of the same object replace the first? for instance:
[code]...
there should now only be one "myDisplayObject" on the stage.

I have a flash file sitting inside of a web page in our company domain. There is another server (used to store images) that is part of the domain but is not running any web services (for security reasons). A folder on the images server is however shared in such a way that any site on the web server can display images from the images server as long as the user is plugged into the domain. For example, both I and my boss can pull up a web site on the web server and see all the information, but only he can see the images
because I have Vista Basic and no domain support. This is done via "<img src='\serverNamedirectory.'/>"
That's ok, but on this particular instance I don't want to display the image on the webpage, I want it in a SWF on the page. However the SWF can't seem to load the images even though the page it's sitting in could. I've tried tons of variations of URLRequests and Loaders, most resulting in security errors. Since most of the online discussions about these errors revolve around cross-domain access, I can't seem to find any tech support for our specific situation.

I have a list box in my flash file that I would like to display a string from an xml file that has been run though html entities in php. So for instance I need the string.
Code:
Hey "Leonardo£$£$()*%£% '"' [1999]
to display as
Code:
Hey "Leonardo;$;$()*%$% '"' [1999]
I can get this to happen in my dynamic text boxes by using .htmlText to display but I have no idea how I would do this in the list box?

I've got MovieClips on the stage, both manually added, and added with code. I used this code to trace them all:
for(var i:int=0 ; i<stage.numChildren; i++) {
var myObject = stage.getChildAt(i);
trace(i);
trace(myObject);
}
All it returns is 0 and [object MainTimeline]. Is there something wrong with Flash, or did I do my coding wrong? The objects I put on the stage should be on the Display List, right?

How do I removeChild only if it's in the Display List?One button on my stage will addChild(radioButton) and another removes it. If the remove button is clicked first, then it obviously tries to remove something that has not yet been added and an error is returned. I've tried using the DisplayObjectContainer class with the contains() method to no avail.

in my Main.as file, this works as expected:
var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.text = "hello in main";
addChild(t);
However, when I create an instance of a class, and I have that same code in the constructor of that class, the text doesn't show up. I am creating the text field variable at the class level, not the contstructor level, so I think the variable should still hang around.
Do I have to get an instance of the stage, or something?

The documentation for the List component at[URL].. states "A list can also display graphics, including other components," but nowhere can I find an example of HOW to make this happen. Can anyone please point me to a working example, I really need to be able to leverage this functionality, but I cannot for the life of me find anywhere it's being done.

Ok so my document class loads pictures and adds them every so interval once they're done loading. So when the next picture loads, it will be higher on the display list than the picture previous to it(on the left). So if a child(a tooltip) of the previous picture(on the left) appears over the picture to the right, the tooltip will always appear underneath that following picture, since the tooltip is a child of the previous picture.how do i get it to appear above everything? (addChildAt won't work) . i need a quick fix, is there a way to get my document class to add that tooltip ?

In my project I have 3 types of elements that spawn at different times. 1. When I hold the mousebutton down object 1 appears. 2. When I release the mousebutton, object 1 disappears and object 2 spawns3. At regular time intervals yet another object spawns, object 3.These objects might (or will rather) touch eachother at some point. And what I want is this:Object 1 to be under object 3 and object 2Object 3 to be under object 2
