ActionScript 3.0 :: Embed (source = 'transparent.png') As JPEG (and Set Quality)?
Oct 18, 2009
Ever since I got the hang of AS3 and discovered FlashDevelop, I pretty much abandoned fla.Back in the days, before switching to it, lack of alpha channel support by the .jpg format was a non issue, since Flash IDE allowed to embed png images in the library and apply lossy jpeg compression to them while retaining their transparency data.Programmatically, however, I'm only able at the moment to embed either flat jpegs, or lossless, consequently unacceptably large, transparent pings. (Indexed gif is not practical in the context/nature of the pictures to be embedded.*)
Is there a way to "JPEG-ize" pings at compile time using only code? Perhaps there are some parameters to follow [Embed(source = 'transparent.png')... that are not known to me? Obviously, I'm aware of such acrobatics as loading/embedding a external swf published from Flash IDE containing the bitmaps, or storing the alpha channels separately, ets but I wonder if this can be done elegantly to satisfy code purism.While GIF is great for storing pixel art, icons and whatnot, for smooth/soft images using way over 256 colors, its quality/compression ratio is rather unfavorable. Additionally, it only supports 2-bit transparency i.e. aliased edges.

I am creating a flash image gallery, much like flickr. I need the fullsize images to dynamically change size according to browser size /resize. The original images are of various sizes when i load them. I have set the _quality parameter to "BEST" on the clip I load the jpegs into. It actually works pretty smooth, but in between when there is some sharp lines in the image, it looks awfull - the line being cracky and disordered.

way to set the quality of a loaded jpeg the way we're able to set the quality on library item? It's pretty neat to be able to set the smoothing, is there a similar way to set quality?? Is there an approach anyone would recommend for dynamically setting the quality on a loaded image?
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("myImage.jpg"));
addChild(loader);

When exporting, you get the little popup window which asks which actionscript version to use and such. There is also a option to reduce JPEG quality, which I really need in order for my filesize to be reduced.However, when I try reducing and saving, the file has the exact same size as my old uncompressed version, and it even looks the same when played.

I'm working on some optimisation techniques to allow Flash for export my .swf in various file sizes.I need to export the same .swf in a high quality and a lower quality version; so I normally just alter the JPEG quality manually.But I was wondering if there is a method using AS3 that allows me to adjust the JPEG quality dynamically?

I have a movie that loads images from an external source based on paths contained within an .xml. As far as I can see, there is no restriction to the size of the loaded image, which are are JPEGs, hence flash will not have these images resized. The images look fine when loaded in Photoshop or viewed separately, but the quality is just awful when loaded within the movie.
I've tried the usual hints like increasing JPEG quality in Publish Settings, but understand that since these images are not imporated into Flash CS5 before compiling, but are instead loaded when the .swf is run, these settings would not have any effect.

In Flash, via the authoring environment, you can put bitmaps in your movie that are compressed with JPEG but still support full alpha transparency, something JPEG does not support out-of-the-box. Is there a way to achieve the same when embedding bitmaps via the Flex [Embed] tag?

I have two images on my flash stage (A camera image and a scenery image) The idea is that the camera is in front of the scenery. The problem is although both images are on my stage the camera is completely transparent and looks wrong . How can I set the cannon image transparency so that it is a solid image on top of the background image.

I am new to Flash CS5 and I have created a slide show. I am trying to reduce the .swf file size for faster loading. I have been trying to adjust the size using the jpeg quality slider, but it doesn't seem to function whether I set it to 0 or 100 or anywhere in between. Publishing always generates the same size swf file.

I cut up parts of a web page background to do some menu animating in Fireworks on the left side, and the right side to have a slideshow on top of a transparent PNG background. Then I bring both together in a Dreamweaver file, within a DIV so it looks seamless. This has worked fine before, and it exports okay, but I noticed that putting the two "parts" back together side by side that the SWF background is somewhat faded compoared to the Fireworks HTML. I've tried changing the Publish Settings and I've tried changing the PNG file property in the library to both "enable smoothing" and "Lossless Compression", but nothing seems to fix it. My next option is to make the PNG the background image of the page when I bring it all in to Dreamweaver, but I'd like to know if this can be fixed for future reference.

I have a simple Flash project.It includes some jpg images with text on them.When I export and the click on the swf file locally, the quality is very clear.When I open the html file to view the embedded swf, the quality is severely degraded.Is there anything I can do to help this? This is the html file with the degraded pictures (most notable in the text).If you click through you will see some of the text is really hard to read, where if I view the swf file locally it is perfectly clear.In publish settings I have jpg quality set to 100%.

I am trying to embed a flash movie (.flv) into a webpage with a transparent background.
Requirements:
- Flv runs in transparent mode - I must be able to view html contents below.
- Movie does not auto play
- Movie is contained in a div and positionend absolutely using CSS
- No video controls or overlays, you shouldn't know it's an flv
- On load Movie is hidden
- Using jQuery, I click an image link to show and play the video, clicking it again stops and hides the video - vice versa
I have tried using Longtail Video Player with swfobject.js and javascript controls but no joy. Video is not transparent and controls with a click to play still feature.
Am I overcomplicating what appears to be quite a simple task.
I happy to explore any implementation.
Adobe flash embed parameters have been set correctly and wmode = transparent.

I have a number of sound files hosted by a third-party.I would like to embed these on my site in some kind of player for streaming.However, I need to hide the source URLs of these files from my users.The point is to prevent users from discovering information about the third-party services we use, as some of this info is considered proprietary.There is obviously no way to do this in straight html. Most methods that I have seen of embedding audio would leave URLs easily discoverable by just viewing the page source.Is there a good way to keep this data hidden?

To get flash to sit behind html elements on a page I read that I have to add this inside the object tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
And this to the embed tag:
wmode="transparent"
Is it necessary to add both? Because in FF I got it to work with just the second, just wondering if that may cause issues in other browsers and devices.

// Edit: The issue now appears to be confined to Safari for Windows.
Around the time Safari for Windows 4 came out I started hearing from users that wmode=transparent was no longer working in Safari.I have tried reducing interference by using tags as opposed to scripts to embed the Flash but with no success.An example is here: [url]... alternately embedded with script at http://hiv411.org/
All videos use wmode=transparent and are embedded via tags. All work fine in every browser I have except Safari.Code looks like so on safari.php

So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
Code:
<mx:Script source="com/domain/something/somethingelse/app.as"/>
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.
