I have tried to get width of my thumbnail, it is loading and showing jpg image, I stuck to find it's width.
ld=new Loader()
ld.load(new URLRequest(obj.@thumb))
addChild(ld)
ld.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PR OGRESS,preload)
private function preload(event:ProgressEvent):void{
[Code] .....
PHP Code:
request = new URLRequest(gameURL); loader = new Loader();loader.load(request);loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded); loader.
[code].....
The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.
View 13 RepliesI'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

How to remove a loader and its content using removeChild or any other way, I had removed the loader but its content still playing in the background i know that from the sound of the content.this is the my code for removing:
removeChild(getChildByName("SampleLoader"));
I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);

What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?
i have a thumbnail gallery im displaying from an xml file and require the thumbnail widths/heights to dynamically space the images.I read I must use an event and content.width to access the image widths and this works partially..in the below code I am just tracing the image width to see if I can access the values of each image, but I only ever get the value of the LAST IMAGE in the xml. There are 3 image urls listed in the xml and the width of the last image is the only one traced ?
Code:
function galleryphoto_loadDisplay():void{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < galleryphoto_images_total; i++){

for this project I'm trying to load a custom image into a loader at a specific spot and then place text right below it:
ActionScript Code:
package com.flashdo.flashblue
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]..
the positioning of the loader is always as if the width/height of the loader was 0. tracing those objects confirmed that. how would I go about loading the dimensions of a specific loader into ac3?
I am loading an external swf file using the following code:
//add close button
var reqButton:URLRequest = new URLRequest(btn_close);
var loader2:Loader = new Loader();
loader2.load(reqButton);
addChild(loader2);
[Code] .....
Once the loader loads my image, and I click on it, nothing is happening. Am I supposed to be adding the EventListener to the loader or something else? How can I detect the height and width of the swf file in the loader?
i'm trying to access the width and height of an image that is added to the stage via a custom LoadImage class. the trace results are 0 even though the image displays correctly.

I want to bring an image in from a folder and then display this image in a specifically sized box.[code]So obviously I want the image loaded into a 200 x 200 box (the image is 1200x1200) and scaled proportionately. What do I need to do? The box won't resize at all.
View 6 RepliesI have an HBox with a fixed Width and Height and a Border. In that HBox I have a viewStack with a few different views.When the viewStack changes views, I want the HBox container to keep resizing to its content. Currently it stays at the fixed width.Is there any way to do that with an HBox setting?
View 2 RepliesI've run into something I find very, very odd. Bordering on bug-level odd, even.I load a gif file with a Loader. No fuss there.I then attempt to instantiate two different bitmaps with the loaded content:
image = Bitmap(loader.content);
image2 = Bitmap(loader.content);
I then place them apart on the stage so I can see them both:
image.x = 50;
image2.x = 200;
Finally I add the bitmaps to the stage:
addChild(image);
addChild(image2);
But only one of them turns up - depending on the order in which I assign the x-values. The bitmap I assign to first, is the one that renders on the stage.I should have two distinct bitmaps after the first two lines.When I examine the values, it's as if there's only one object on the stage, yet debugging info suggests that there are in fact two objects, both referencing the same bit of memory for the image.
trace(image.x);trace(image2.x);trace(stage.numChildren);
These traces yield: 2002001
How do I force it to make an actual copy of the content, not just the memory reference I think is going on here? I'd really prefer not to load the gif file for every new instance.

I have the following sample code and I'm not quite sure where I'm missing the mark[code]...
Am I just calling the wrong attribute? The over all goal is to find out the size of the SWF that just got loaded and to match it to the size of another MovieClip elsewhere in the code.
I've got these dynamic text fields that have their autosize and multiline set to true. I assign a width when I create the textfields, but that doesn't seem to have an effect. Using an interval, i cycle through an array that provides strings to populate the text fields.
The textfields seem to take the width of the first strings that populate them, and then stay that size, regardless of the amount of text in each new string.[code]...
Is it possible to create a variable that references a loader content ? For instance, in the example below, is it possible of having something like:
var LoaderContent:SOMETYPE = new SOMETYPE();
LoaderContent = pictLdr.content;
And then using LoaderContent variable instead ? What type of variable should it be ?
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(container);
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();[code]........
I have an XML-file which holds some info about picture and text.A designer have made some mc's and I have to load the pictures (which has URL from XML) into this mc-animation. I can only load the images into the loader and then I cant get the image from the loader in memory into the animated timeline mc. how this is done? I have tried addChild but this doesnt help me attach the loaded picture to the anim_mc. or...?The designer also have a textlayer, which is put in a mc and then animated. And the text from XML must go into the textfield and be animated.
View 5 RepliesI have a flash file for a website section. I inserted a Loader component component to load a .swf file, and set the "scaleContent" property (in the Component Inspector) to True, but the .swf loads tiny, like a thumbnail. I also set the minimum dimensions (400x300), but this seems to have zero effect. I also have the size of the loader component set to 424x350. I have played with both sets of these numbers to no effect.
Here is where I've uploaded the file for testing: [URL] If you click any 1 of the 4 images, it will load 1 of 4 .swf files within (but very small).
Furthermore...the size of the embedded videos is not always consistent. Sometimes, after re-uploading the main file, Some of the 4 videos will be correctly sized, but if visited more than once, they return to being small. Very weird.
P.S. I have attached a screen capture of the Flash program, showing the component inspector and properties.

I'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.Take a look at the one here in the center of the page: [url]....I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.
When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site? Is loading SWfs even the proper way to do this? Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking? The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);[code].....

I have a custom alert box I wrote. It has an optional second button. I use the alert box in various ways which may or may not need the second button.Previously I was creating and adding the button dynamically, but because flash is so slow I have to preload the alert with two buttons. So there are always two buttons in this alert view. So if I have an alert with both an action button and a cancel button, then I have an alert with just a cancel button I want to hide the action button. However if I set the action button to hidden it still throws off the alginment of the cancel button in my HGroup because it's still taking up space even though it's not there. If I set the width of the action button to 0 then I am using a fixed with and whenever I need to use it again I will have to manually calculate the width of the button!! Is there a way to set the width to 0 then set it like it never had a width at all?
