I need to fill some movieclip with an external image in AS3. I know how to use an image contained in the FLA's library as background filling, but I don't know how to do this with an external loaded image.
View 3 Repliesi'd like to load an external image in a movieclip via
createEmptyMovieClip(..)
mcName.loadMovie( imageName )
trying to set the mc-size via
mcName._width = 100
mcName._height = 100
nothing changes. furthermore - any possibilities to zoom or stretch the image to get the size provided from the mc?
I am new to AS3 and I need some help with the Senocular Transform Tool (AS3 version)
I'm having trouble with loading in an external image such that I can transform with the Senocular Transform Tool class.
I have managed to load in the picture but the transform class doesn't seem want to grab it. [code]...
I have been working on code updation project wherein initially we had an image and text as movieclips in fla library. The image and the text are read by the actionscript program which then creates an animation.[code]...
I want to ease the updation process by giving the url of the image in an XML file. Read the image url from the xml and load this image in the library of the fla as movieclip. This, i think, will result in less code change and improve the updation of the final animation image.
The problem i am facing is not been able to figure out how can i change the image (after fetching its URL) to a movieclip and then load it in the library?
Since there is no actionscript function to set the registration point of a movieclip, I created a movieclip that I want to hold my image in my Project.fla file with a centered registration point I then add the movieclip to the stage in my Project.as file:var holder:Holder = new Holder();addChild(holder);The holder is successfully on the stage, and I now load my external image file that I would like to be inside of my image placeholder:var imageLoader:Loader;imageLoader = new Loader();imageLoader.load(new RLRequest("images/ball1.png"));addChild(imageLoader);What I am now trying to do is insert the imageLoader into my holder so that I can alter it as though the registration point is in the center
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip that is only a blue square. However, i want to "fill" that blue square with a pattern made out of an image x.jpg (or x.png, whatever).
And i'd like to do this dinamically in AS3.
Iit works but it's just not perfect. Ihaven't played with flash since MX, things have changed a bit. Here is the online sample: [URL]. If you want the source it here: [URL]. So I would like to learn how to create an if / else function to control the height of a MC. i.e. This externalMC I used is 900 X 500, so divide 900/500 = 1.8:1 (or .5556:1) this gives you your relative ratio. Then just multiple the width of 75% of stageWidth by .5556 to get the proportional width, the problem is once the browser windows height is resized to <= 500. it stops.
Code:
Select all/*Resize*/
holder.smoothing = true;
var mainStage:Stage = this.stage;
mainStage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
mainStage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
function initialDisplay(evt:Event):void {

This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.

First of all, let me say that I have no actionscript knowledge, but I have PHP knowledge.
How can I make a movieclip display an image from a php file?
And how can I send the image from the php file to the movieclip?
I have a flash movie clip and need to load an external image inside the clip that reference to an external URL.. like URL i did something with XML but the image persist on every clip because it loads from actionscript using the x and y cords.
View 2 RepliesI have a SWF file used as a banner advertisement but there is a 35kb size limit. My file is just under 60kb, and I won't be able to optimize the images any further. (An early version can be found here:URL...)I was thinking perhaps I could load 2 of my images dynamically?I actually try to stay away from Flash and Actionscript, but had to use it for this advertisement. The animation is built with transitions and symbols in the timeline. That being said I know just enough actionscript to control the timeline / playback but not how to dynaimcally load images, then assign those images to the symbols I use in my animations.Could someone hold my hand for about 5 minutes and give me the dummy 101 on how to dynamically load an image that a symbol will reference?Not a permanent solution, but I discovered that I can make a simple pre-loader swf that has the background, and load the real swf using this simple actionscript code:[code]

View 2 RepliesI'd like to write a simple flex app that works like the [URL] service. (you can try it without registering at [URL]
Here the steps I need to implement
1) User upload a pdf form
2) The form is converted in a a flash form
3) User fill the form (using a flash app)
4) User download the filled form as pdf document
Does anybody have some advices to start ? For step 2 I have found many pdf to flash converter but I need to leave the form editable.
I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).
I have an image that doesn't fill the <mx:Image> tag because it's not the exact dimensions (it is too short) and I have maintainAspectRatio set to true:
<mx:Image id="theImage"
source="{data.photo_thumb}"
horizontalCenter="0"[code]....
The <mx:Image> tag has a fixed width and height (it's 100% of the tile size--this is in an ItemRenderer). How do I get the image to sit on the bottom of the <mx:Image> tag?
I'm trying to build a simple flash swf with haxe that shows the output of my webcam. I want to swf to be embeddable and the size to be determined in the html. So my html looks like:
<html>
<head><title>Web cam</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#dddddd">

This creates the swf file that shows the webcam output but with some big white bands on the right and bottom. I want to make the webcam image to fill all the flash object size.
I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
I have a flash file where a button loads a movie clip with he following code:
on (rollover) {
this.attachMovie("proj_1_1_mc", "window", 1);
window._x = 100;
window._y = 100;
unloadMovie("proj_");
}
How do i modify this so that the proj_1_1_mc movieclip loads an external image instead of putting it in the flash file and thus bloating the .swf file?
When I use Loader to load the same external image twice (same URL), what happens the second time? Is it taken from cache or does it actually load again?

I have an image gallery that I made with this tutorial (AS3 Photo Viewer Tutorial), and I'm trying to get an external preloader to load it. The only tweaks I've made to the tutorial file have been to change the stage size, and change the name and contents of the xml file.The preloader, which uses something I downloaded from preloaderz, worked with another, simpler swf, but when I try it with this one, I get
Quote:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at PhotoViewer()
I don't know why this won't work. Another thing I don't quite get is how the .as file is attached, because the PhotoViewer.fla file appears to be blank, with nothing I can see in the timeline/ stage, or in the actionscript. Before trying the external preloader, I tried adding one to PhotoViewer.fla, using script from the ActionScript 3 Classroom in a book, which worked in their lesson file, but not with this file. I also tried moving the script to the .as file, but that didn't work either.I'm using Flash CS4. If all else fails, I might have to try a simpler image gallery, that would hopefully work with a preloader, but I like how this one looks.
Is there any way to load an external image and add it to more than one movie clip?

Here's my problem I would like to load an external HTML image like so "<img src="http://image/dog.jpg" id="1" width="728" height="90" />"; but I am not sure how I can achieve this - the ID="1" is something someone gave me however I do not know if "1" has to be assigned in order for the image to load. I am very, very new to actionscript & I apologize if asking this insults anyone but if anyone can help me I would be very grateful - This has been bugging me for almost a week now & even when I try to pay for help no one can help me out.
