Right, so I was told that the best place to put any code is in an external .as document. Problem 1: Can someone give me a template on how this should look? Any example I can find has some guy wanting to show off their amazing code skills with a massive chunk of unrelated code. My current 'setup' is:

I am facing very weired problem. I have tried and had success loading an img into a dynamic textField at run time. But sometimes it takes littile long to load img and gives me an impression that image is not getting loaded.My textFields html, multiline, autoSize, wordWrap properties are set to TRUE. But still sometimes i dont get my image loaded in to the textField. My images are also having size of max 7kb.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently loading an image dynamically into a loader using this script.Code:loadMovie("1.jpg",_root.sliding_content.content_2.contents.example_birds.work_page.myloader);All I'm trying to do is attach a progress bar component to this loader. Other images get loaded into the same loader component using the same actionscript as above but with different file names.I'm having difficulties getting the progress bar to show the progress - when it gets to 100% disappear and then reset and reappear when another image is loaded into the same loader component when the action script is called again.

Creating 3 dynamic text fields (caption, caption1 and caption2) on stage loading from XML. First set of data loads fine into respectable fields from XML, however buttons are not changing data on click. Working in Flash 8 using standard XML format. I have traced succesfully. All fields are on main frame (simple test page), but I am still not getting a response from my handlers on prev and next buttons.

I'm populating a dynamic text field using instance_mc.textField_txt.htmlText = "some string of text";Can this method of populating a text field be styled with CSS? or do you have to use an external text file?One thing I have tried is using basic html tags <br> tags in the string and this works, and so does <b> bold is there away of just specifying in the string a different font size and colour?I've tried writing an inline css style and this didn't seem to work.My text field is not created with as, but the movie clip in which the text field resides is added from the library in a function.say for example i have "Ricky55<br>Some Street"; is it possible to make Ricky55 in a larger font that some street?
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a picture viewer that dynamically loads the images from my site, and I'd like to be able to have flash determine how many images are in the folder when it runs. I know I could do this with an xml file, but I have a hunch that there's an easier way to script it.
View 1 Repliesi have a flash image viewer about 260kb large, it includes 3 images inside the swf itself which im going to switch dynamically, each images is actually a holed out (masked) png so i can overlay that image with another image which i dynamically loaded using loadClip()
so what i have here is a movieclip in the stage that contain a layer of the internal png with another mc to load an external image sandwiched below the previous
i searched the forum to see if i can find anything about loading the dynamic image together with the actuall flash files but it appears i failed to find one...
i would like the dynamic images is loaded together with the flash itself

Im trying to make a page where i duplicate a movie clip where i would load my images externally from a folder. Each duplicated movie clip should have a different image inside it. It doesn't seem to work. Here is the source code i made:

I am attempting to make an Infinite Slider Menu (in this case picture folio...)using duplicate movie clip and dynamic image loading. I'll worry about the cascading part later, i just need to make this work right now.
How do I use a dynamic preloader [say a circular preloader that I've designed myself and not the ProgressBar preloader] to load an external jpg. Obviously, the jpg would be contained within a movie clip, say, 'imageHolder'. In short, I'd like this dynamic preloader to load the external jpg into the movie clip 'imageHolder' placed within my swf.All that needs to be figured out is how to attach any dynamic preloader to load external pics.[code]
View 1 RepliesCreating a dynamic scroll panel using two objects from my library and accessing images from a folder using some basic XML. The ScrollPanel loads fine, the 6 instances of the empty movieclip holders load. The function that traces the instance of the movieClip names is working. My trouble is accessing the instances of the movies to load the loaders in order to view the jpgs called from the folder. I receive an "access of undefined property" message if I type thumbLoad0.addChild(pic1ldr); etc, which you will see at the very bottom.

I've completed my XML-driven image gallery, however upon live testing I'd realized I made a rookie mistake and not put some kind of placeholder "loading" movie clip loop while the thumbnails and subsequent full-size images are being loaded. The images will randomly appear when loaded and I would like to be able to insert a placeholder movie clip while they load, and swap them up with the thumbnails/images after it has been loaded. The placeholder movie clip is in my library (loadingLoop), but I'm having problems getting it to work correctly.
Below is the original function that processes the XML and adds the thumbnail images; this is where I'm trying to insert the placeholder movie clip per XML child node (every attempt I've made just keeps throwing more errors, so I've omitted my attempts to avoid confusion), and I've attached the XML file for testing.

I admit I'm fairly new to flash, but I've almost finished an entire RPG battle system complete with music [etc. etc.] - but my problem is trying to add a preloader.. I have a basic page which says "Loading" and has a Dynamic text box below which should read the Variable "_root.loadText". In the first frame I have this code:
[Code]...
and in the second just "_root.gotoAndPlay(1);" for the updating process. I'm sure that's all okay. But when I export it, then upload the swf file to somewhere like SwfCabin to show people for testing purposes, they have to wait on just a blank white screen for 1~3 minutes.. -note: I use both Adobe flash CS3 [at home] and Macromedia Flash 8 [at school] - I can stick to just CS3 if needed.
I've been trying to use the following paradigm to dynamically load images into a Flash application:
Code:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(....);
loader.load(urlRequest);
This is the tried and true method and works everywhere except if I compile the application into an ipa file for iOS devices.
What's the best practice for dynamically loading images in Flash applications that will target iOS as well?
I just recently coded a basic image slider/slide show in Flash CS5. Bassicly, it's just a bunch of images that slide via motion tween in and out of view (Like on the right side of Pizzahut.com, my clients insperation) but, when published and thrown into my HTML, it causes Internet Explorer to give the "To Help Protect Your Security, Internet Explorer has prevented this webpage from running scripts or active X Controlls" and you have to click the little bar at the top and select "Allow Blocked COntent" for the slideshow to work. I specifically coded this show in flash (Published as an SWF) to avoid this warniong (As opposed to J-Query) and I have sites that I have made with similar SWF image sliders that don't through up this warning [URL]
View 4 RepliesI can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;

Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?

[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.
View 3 RepliesI tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?
