I'm trying to load images from the library not externally, i know how to load externally but the thing is i need these images to be instantaneous when browsing, so i cannot load them externally.[code]...
View 1 RepliesTrying to load images dynamically from library NOT externally since i want these images to be loaded when the site is launched. Basically i have several buttons, each button returns an event that throws a specific image name to grab. Here is the function;
function sendDisplayData(e:MouseEvent){
display_mc.displayName.text = e.currentTarget.parent.menuItemName.text; //name of image eg. "myImageName" in the library;
//create the image object
[code]....
So how can i make this function dynamic by using a String and then grabbing the image related to that string from the library.
I am trying to call in images dynamically from my Library in a more efficient manner.
With an bitmap image in the Library set up for actionscript with the class name of 'itemFromLib', i tried:
Code:
function placeImage():void {
var _img:itemFromLib = new itemFromLib();
var _bitName:Bitmap = new Bitmap(_img);
[Code].....
Both with the results of an error that "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:BitmapData."
I have Button components that are populated dynamically. The buttons need to each have an icon (using the button.icon property).The icon however, is retrieved via webservices so all I recieve is a URL to the jpg that needs to be loaded as the icon. When using the icon property, you load an instance of something in your library over the top of your button. So I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve this url, and load it into the library which would then allow me to use it as an icon??
View 4 RepliesI want to load one out of 18 different instances from my library (exported as mc1-mc18). In AS2 this was simple! I fetched the variable (whC) that contained the name of the movieclip to be loaded and just put it into attachMovie
AS2:
Code:
_loc.attachMovie(whC,"clip"+k,this.getNextHighestDepth());
In AS3 do I have to use this long if/else statement to make it work the same?
Code:
public function fetchTile(whC:String):MovieClip {
if (whC=="mc1") {
fetched= new mc1();

I'm trying to load png images from library. My code is:
Code:
var deactiveShow_mc:deactiveShow_id = new deactiveShow_id(0,0);
trace(deactiveShow_mc);
addChild(deactiveShow_mc);
deactiveShow_mc.x=goster_btn.x;
[code]....
this code gives following error:
Code:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type deactiveShow_id to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
I tried this.addChild(deactiveShow_mc) and addChild(MovieClip(deactiveShow_mc) and addChild(BitmapData(deactiveShow_mc) but it gives various errors. How can I fix this?

View 2 RepliesNot supposed to send the linkage class as a string in the function call.
I can load an image in from the library with code by
1) creating a new object of the linkage class,
2) creating a new bitmap object using the new object, then
3) sticking it into a Sprite, but when I try to make it into a function it doesn't work.
ActionScript Code:
//linkage name, width, height, string for .name property
container.addChild( crtLibImg("PNGlinkageName",100,50,"myPNGname") );
function crtLibImg(thisPng,w,h,mName)

As my as3 skills are not good, I stumbled against this problem, my approach in overall will probably not be the easiest, but here it goes:
In the library of my fla file I have imported 4 pictures, in the properties (class) I gave them the name photo0, photo1, photo2, photo3. With my code on the time line I create dynamically 4 movieclips and now I want to attach photo0 to movieclip 1 and photo 2 to movieclip 2 and sofort...
Is there a way to give the bitmapdata name also a dynamic name, something like[code]...
I have some fairly large movieclips in the library which need to be dynamically loaded at runtime. I don't want to export them all in frame 1, because that would slow down initial loading of the movie. I tried putting an instance of each of these clips later in the timeline where they wouldn't normally be encountered. When I then tried to load one from the library dynamically, I was able to successfully get an instance of the movieclip, but its currentFrame property was 0 and I couldn't see anything on the stage. As soon as I enabled "Export in frame 1", it worked properly. Does this old trick of putting an instance on the timeline somewhere no longer work in AS3?
View 1 RepliesI have 5 different MovieClips in the library, and a main movieclip on stage.
I must load the MCS from the library randonly on the main MC from time to time. How can I do it?
I have created an application where on button click it has to load an image to a movieclip.
It worked fine in my local system, but when I uploaded it to the server, the image loads late and thus the animation is missing and is causing problems.
how to load image from the library attached to the movie.
I know it can be done with attachMovie, but its not working for me.
Im currently making a flash website. and trying to make it as light as possible.so decided to load images dynamically.Im using UILoaders.I drag the UILoader from components into the main timeline and set the source as 1.jpg, because the image is in the same folder as the .fla file.and scale - false
Tested the movie but nothing shows up. i guess i need some coding? but i dont know where to add the codes. on the same frame? or in frame 1? i also need the image to fade-in.the end result im looking for is, as i click a button. 3 images show up at the same time, fading in.

My problem: I am attaching variable number of MCs dynamically(not in the library), and i have to do so using flash6 or older. How can i use then loadMovie+onClipEvent handler to invoke something, if i am attaching MCs dynamically, and onClipEvent works only on MCs attached on the Stage(actions "on" those mcs, not "inside" them). Probably using classes. Any other option? and if not, can anybody guide me through assigning such class to such mc? EDIT: Ok, i also have done following:
[Code]....
and although the movieClip IS in library, and it DOES have MovieClip class assigned, onData event handler is NOT triggered and nothing is traced. Can the reason be "attachMovie" function?
EDIT2: aha. well, again it happened that attachMovie's methods are not yet initialized, so it was not yet "the proper time to assign" handler onData on those MCs. [only sen knows why ]. So that even trace(mc.stop()); at this point traces undefined, where it should trace [type Function], since stop is MovieClip's class method. Stupidstupidstupid.. relax...
I've been playing around with a demo version of a PHP Flv streaming player from rich media project. I've been able to setup my player to play flv videos dynamically by passing an id from the database to the swf file (works great).
However I cannot for the life of me work out how images are loaded dynamically. The player uses the filename and adds .jpg as the extension to load the image file when the player starts. Problem is my image name will be different to the file and so I need to pass a variable in the same way I am passing a variable for the movie name.
// skinID=1// Instance names and linkage identifiers were set with '_1' extension//myPlayer.skinID=1;myPlayer.skinPlayer=true;
var passed:String = video;myPlayer.movieName = video;// Init isFullScreen and zoom varisFullScreen=false;zoom=1;
// Set scaleMode to noScale and align top leftStage.align = "TL";Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

I want to duplicate this Movie Clip so that "bird.jpg" is loaded into all 6 Movie Clips. Why doesn't this code work?
for (i=0; i<6; i++) {
miniHolder.duplicateMovieClip("miniHolder"+i, i, {_x:i*10, _y:i*20, _alpha:50});
var bb = "miniHolder" + i;
bb.loadMovie("bird.jpg", this.getNextHighestDepth());
};
I've managed to use AS to dynamically create empty movie clips and offset them so that they appear side by side. The problem is, I can't use loadMovie to load in images into my empty movie clips. I can successfully use loadMovie outside of my for loop, by directly referencing each of the dynamically created clips (holder_mc1.loadMovie(...),older_mc2.loadMovie(...),etc) after they have been created. This is ok but I really need to create and fill the empty movie clips within a single for loop. By the way, the references to the images being loaded are contained within an external text file, but this doesn't seem to be part of the problem. Does anybody know if there is a problem using loadMovie in this way or if there is anything I can do to fix the problem?
Code:

Can you addChild to a specific movieclip instance i.e. movieclip.name.addChild(movieclip).
I have built a 'for loop' to render a series of 'products'. The idea being to create a movieclip, load an image into this movieclip, assign a URL and later some text.[code]...
