ActionScript 3.0 :: Attaching Image To Container At Runtime
Oct 4, 2009
I am facing difficulty in doing as below:
I have created a MovieClip symbol, called imgOne_mc, out of a PNG image. I have also added an empty MovieClip symbol (with the name imgContainer) on the stage. Within the code, inside a Class, I want to attach imgOne_mc to the imgContainer, at run-time. I tried it in following way:
imgContainer.addChild(imgOne_mc);
But, it ended up with the error "Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display: DisplayObject".
I have 3 movieclips, head, body, and legs. head and body has animations. I want to attach all d 3 movieclips at runtime. now if i try to attach them they r moving apart while doing animation at runtime.

I'm not sure if this can be done, but I'll try my luck here I've loaded external jpg image using loadClip method... Now i want to attach the same image to another dynamically created movie clip. I know i can attach images from library but i need it on this way.
It have to be attached as JPG. I know for bitmap data class and I am already using it but don't know how to attach jpg.
I want to have an swf load an image file in an image container within the swf from the querystring. 1. In the query string I'd like the extension of the image file to not show:
2. In the swf I might have more then one place where the same howdy.jpg loads, but in different sizes. Which method would keep the aspect ratio of original and resize to fit varying container sizes?
3. I have some javascript parsing code with an swf example that I got from this page. [URL] But when I tried to alter the fla for my use it didn't work. I wasn't able to find 1 line of actionscript in the query.fla.
I need to place a image in a container. But well it does not work It doesn't do anything actaully.Its been a while since a used ac3 but still does someone care to take a look?the picture that needs to be loaded and the xml file are all in the same folder.do i need to use a for loop? my teacher said it didnt need it.
// ------------- PICTURE LOADER ---------------- var PicXML:XML; var picXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
I am using Flash CS4. I insert and build a SWF file just fine. In the component inspector there is a preview entry but there is a note that says it is only for development not runtime. It says to use ActionScript and the Export option. I have used the Export Option to create the thumbnail image but I have no idea how to setup the ActionScript.
I have an issue with downloading an image from a URL that is not getting updated at runtime. I'm using a URLLoader to download the file initially at the start of the app from some URL, then later on there is a call to the server which re-compiles the image into something else. After that the image is being downloaded again from the exact same URL, but as far as I can tell it's not getting the updated version, but is getting it from the cache that flash creates.
If I restart the application after doing all of this it gets the correct image when it downloads at startup, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to download the correct image at runtime. Does anyone have any idea how this can be accomplished?
need to load an image(s) into flash during runtime. not sure where to start - want to assign the actionscript to a button. found the method "FileReference.browse()" and "FileReference.upload()", but not sure how to begin to implement it. also wanted to be able to scale the image and move it around.
I have an application I'm building. It a sort of diagram builder. Now how can I get it to save a bitmap of it locally (not sharedobject). Or even a xml file for saving or something?Program is preferably run on local client's computer.
I'm trying to load an image for displaying in a container which have been loaded from the Library and placed on the stage.Loading the image for which to use is no problem but algning it to the center of the stage is a problem.Now, keeping in mind that loaded images usually are placed at the top-left corner of the stage I tried to solve the problem like this...:
a = stage.stageWidth/2 (finding the center of the stage) b = image.width/2 c = a-b (giving us the result of which to place the image) image.x = c;
The formulas above make sence... in theory. In real life (at least on my computer) it doesn't work.Now, there might be some factors to consider when doing simple math like this...: - Can it be that the container is not the same size as the image loaded? - Can it be that I have to keep the x and y of the container (although I have aligned it so it's placed at the center of the stage)?
I need a way to drag and drop an image from a container to another. I have tried a few different ways but I guess the drag & drop thing is still eluding me. Anyway, here's what I am trying to do, A container will contains a few bitmap/vector image (what's the best way for this? Tile Group? Or?) and then I want to be able to drag any of the image onto another larger Image inside of a Panel. Just like dragging shapes in Photoshop. No code here, as I am completely lost on how to go about it. I found a few tip/tutorial here and there but none which I could understand easily or adapt to my need.
Edit 1 : Got so far till now : public function beginDrag( mouseEvent:MouseEvent ):void {
I'm having trouble trying to get rid of an image in my container when I click on a thumbnail. I keep getting an error saying DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.I've looked around the web and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, nor am I sure what the error means when its referencing the caller.[code]
isnt there a way to get an FLVPlayback component to display its FLV's first frame until it has enough frames buffered to start playing the video? I can add a preview to it that i can see while im authoring the flashfile the component is in, but it just shows up as a white frame for a second at runtime.. id like to get it to display its first videoframe instead of that. The component inspector assures me there is a way to do this using actionscript, but leaves me hanging on exactly how its done, or where to discover such information
I've been thinking about the possibility of using Flash to create designs through ActionScript and tools that I could use at runtime. Is there any way of saving the stage elements as an image that I can use for print output later, preferably as a vector image?I realise the better option would probably be to learn how to script in java script or another language that can be used with a drawing application such as Illustrator, but I'm curious about what sort of options I have to do it through Flash.
I'm trying to create an image reflection at runtime, using this code I found on the WEB. It all seems to work fine as long as I'm loading an image from the local drive, but when I try loading an image from a remote server, the reflection no longer appears.[code]
I want to change the image at click event.I change the source of the image on click but its not reflecting immediately it comes when any other event is fired.
In Flex, how to assign swf as image source at runtime, not embedding it.[Bindable] public var myImg:String;<mx:Image id="intImg" source="{myImg}" width="96%" height="96%" />In my application, I fetch image url dynamically from a web service call, and assign it to "myImg". But until I don't get the response from the web service call, I want to show a loader swf in image control above. I assigned something like:myImg = "assets/AS3.swf";and the path of swf is correct, but it doesn't show up.UPDATE:The code I've shown above works perfectly in a Flex 3 app but the swf does not show up in a Flex 4 app. Is it because Image control has dropped the support for swf in Flex 4 ?
I am building a form builder in Flex 4.5. For that I need help regarding uploading image at runtime such that any user can just simply place cursor on particular location on image and is able to upload any image from the local file system.
I'm allowing the user to choose some image and load it at runtime.
Code: image.source = "../images/temp.jpg";
Why doesn't this do anything? I just see the little error icon like you see on a website when an image cannot be found. But I definitely have temp.jpg.
I am trying to get an image object from one sprite container and adding it to another sprite container. But when I use GetChildAt for this, it will remove the object from the parent sprite and place it inside the other.
i am calling a movieClip from the library dynamically and want to load an image into the movieClip.here is the code so far, i am not sure how to reference the movieClip to add the image to it.
Code: function callVidThumbs():void{ for (var i = 0; i < ttlVids; i++){
I cannot find an ActionScript 3 code example anywhere on how to load a PNG file as a flvplayback preview image and add it in at runtime." Assigning the preview property with the string of the PNG file refrence like 'video.preview = "previewimg.png"' does nothing. who to assign in ActionScript 3 a PNG file as preview file.
I'm having a difficult time finding any ActionScript that will do the trick of saving an image during runtime.
It's a Flash application where the user can design something, then send it in (to me) for publishing (I figured the best way to do that would be to take a picture JPEG of their finished design using some sort of ActionScript and then save it to my Web Server). I've searched around and found a few examples, but none of them seem to work
I am trying to load different image galleries into a container flash file. Each image gallery will be in a speparate swf that can be loaded/unloaded from the main swf. I get the first gallery to load and function fine, using the following code:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();addChild(ldr);ldr.alpha = 0ldr.y = 110ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded, false, 0, true);ldr.load(new URLRequest("folio.swf"));
I'm was following a tutorial where you can load an unload a image or swf in a container through clicking on a button (ofcourse). but now i'm trying to add a 2nd button which loads another image or swf in the SAME container. This is the code:
I am trying to create a gallery where the thumbnails scroll across the bottom and when you click on the thumb a new large image opens up on top of it from the same image.
What i would like to do is open up the large image but draw a box around this image so it blanks out the background of the site and all you see is that picture.
Its a similar function to the way this site works;
I'm trying to load a bitmap using this: [URL]. It seems like the preload is working fine. I'm just having trouble loading the bitmap from here. it works without the preloader but I can't figure out what's not making it load when it's done.
Code: function loadTransBitmap(id){ this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_img", this.getNextHighestDepth()); var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); preload = new Object(); mcl.addListener(preload); [Code] .....
I noticed after the load is complete, I traced the width for targetMC, which is where the image should be preloaded..and it comes up as 0. So it seems like there's nothing in the holder_img container. But it preloads something so I don't know what the problem is. Also: 'id' from the function is just the image (images/1.jpg)
