ActionScript 3.0 :: Iterative Image Loading Routine?
Jan 11, 2011
I'm working on an image gallery project that uses 45 jpgs that need to be displayed all at about the same time (like a splash of photos).Everything works except for inconsistent display of the loaded images (it works consistently on localhost but not on the remote server).All of the images successfully preload into the cache, but when the routine that displays them starts, it sometimes fails to complete.I haven't been able to find anything unusual in the display code that would account for the failure.So I thought I would try to add a work-around (maybe a Timer) that would repeatedly run the display routine until it completed successfully (sounds sloppy and hokey, but I'm at my wits end and way behind schedule).

The way my test works, I draw a path on a displacement map using the mouse, and this displacement is applied to the same image every frame (i.e., the displaced image of the last frame is displaced again). Colors are flowing along the path as they should, with one problem: the displaced pixels always turn transparent after a few seconds.At first I thought this had something to do with the DisplacementMapFilterMode, so I tried setting it to "COLOR" using an opaque bright blue, while the stage behind my warped image is a highlighter green. Nope, the FilterMode color is only used for pixels sampled off the image, while my interior pixels were turning completely transparent of their own accord. I tried removing the alpha channel from my distorted image, and then the pixels would just turn black instead of transparent.
So, now I'm stumped. I've viewed my displacement map to make sure it looks right, I've tried setting the displacement scale to low and high numbers, and I've checked the channel assignments, all to no avail. Here's my code, and I've attached the .fla as well, so you can see what's happening. If you run the file, just make your mouse is located in the center of the frame before it starts, or you'll end up dragging the blue fill color in from off the screen.
Code:
// "spider" is the name of a named movie clip instance containing
// an image on the stage, having the same dimensions as the stage

Here is a very difficult math problem I was unable to solve, its an excellent opportunity for someone like newblack or lordofduct or some local genius to demonstrate their superior math skills to the community: I want to change a base Number over many updates/iterations, by a random % of this Number in a random direction within a pre-defined threshold WHILE, keeping the averages across the iterations the same as the original base Number. here is it in pseudo-code:
[CODE]....
Some restrictions: Ideally this would be a pure 100% straight math solution without any kind of Weighting, tricks or additional variables. (IE a weighting would be if the number deviated from an additional baseline or hit some kind of limit, then we started artificially increasing it back to that baseline. )

I'm creating a small docu where you have some control functions like you have in Windows Media Player or Winamp or...
So my problem is that I don't know how I can make the statusbar (a bar where you can see how far the movie is).
I just have a bar that begins with a width of 0 and I want to make a itterative function that just does a _width++ every second/24fps
The question: Is there a function, like the Thread.sleep() method in Java, that let's you wait for a certain amount of milliseconds? Or do I have to put on every frame a call for my ++ function.

I have a pretty simple script that allows you to draw multiple rectangles using the drawing API in MX. I need to create multiple MC containers, so that I can later do other functions to these areas.Now, what I can't figure for the life of me is why the rectangles are drawing in the way they are. If you copy this script into a blank file and run it, you'll see what I mean. Why is it duplicating/replicating/echoing as you draw? If you debug and list Objects, it is creating the MCs properly, so where are these other lines coming from? I'm sure this is something simple to fix, that there is some recursion going on, but I can't troubleshoot it.
Code:
drawLevel = 0;
drawOK = "yes";
this.onMouseDown = function() {

Worked on a project for 8 hours. I should have saved it, but the abobe stuff seemed to be bullet proof. I pressed the up arrow and poof gone.
Why is there not some sort of auto save for when it crashes? such a simple task you completely forgot. I guess now I have to save non stop to use your product. I don't want to sit there and mash that crap all day long. Another thing why does cutting and pasting frames from another file always put it in random spot? then when you go to move it, you have one messed up animation. When you click on a layer, you see the motion in the little colored line, and then the actual pic. When you select more then 1 layer it only picks one of the dotted lines, but it proceeds to copy incorectly.
BTW why restrict underscores in screen names? WHY? I can't come up with any good reason.

It doesn't work "as is" for integers because they're passed by value, not ref into the Swap routine.

i have a swf with several processor intensive subroutines within a main init() routine at start up (about a 5 secs startup wait). it needs a preloader not due to asset loads but to the processor intensive routines.i'm trying to create a preloader that will display progress as the routines complete but when i try to write text to text field as each subroutine completes either the textField.text is not updated or the text field display is not updated after each subroutine finishes.this prevents me from tracking the progress of the start up.
is there a way to force an update to the display list in the middle of a processor intensive routine? i believe flash is supposed to update after each frame but i'm not seeing this.also, the text field i'm displaying *before* this processor intensive routine *does* display when running locally but *does not* display before the routine when running online.not sure why.

I've been doing a number of pretty basic flash banner ads at the typical advertising size (728x90, 300x250, etc.) but the client wants to throw in some video for this upcoming batch. I've already been given the .flv movie file. It's about a minute long at 3 mb, but I'm only going to use about 4 seconds of it. My question is what is the routine/typical route to take when adding video to banners but also keeping under the file size limitations (around 37k)? I did some brief research and read about progressive downloading but wasn't sure what the typical direction was when delivering files like this to the vendors.

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?

I developing a site where on the homepage, there are about 6 images that rotate, but if you click on a sub link, a different image loads. But the problem is that, the first image has to cycle through before the second image loads. I want the second image to load immediately.

[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.

I 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?

Is it possible to capture the image loading event like when the image is fully loaded and such when it is assigned to the htmlText of the textFiel???
I have a scrollPane that contains a textField which is loading an image via img tag where there is no scrollbars initially because the textField is not large enough in the beginning, but it is larger than the scrollPane after the image is fully loaded.. and I am trying to update the scrollPane once the image is fully loaded..

I need to create a gallery to load images and display them. This part is fine:
/**
* @variable image_name to store the name of the selected item
*/
private function showimage(evt:Event):void
[Code].....
where imgMain is the id the image component.
But, I need a small twist. A transition image i.e. loading image should be displayed while the the image is being loaded.

I'm loading a .png image with loadMovie() and I need to center the image (for later dragging). I know flash has some issues with loading stuff, but I really need to get the movieclip's width. If someone knows how to get over this and get the movieclip's width
This is a part of a more complex app, so that's why I won't paste any code.

I have taken over a project that I didn't start and have a quick question. The file loads an external image, which works well. I need it to load a second one but haven't been successful. Here is the current AS3 that works fine:
Code:
import src.JPGEncoder;

import flash.utils.ByteArray;

I thought I could just initialize a myLoader2 and do everything myLoader does after it does it, but that doesn't work.

This code is loading the xml correctly, populating the mainClipArray correctly, but only adding the last image to the stage.I think it is not waiting for completeClipLoad() to complete. I tried removing :void from the function to see if waiting for a return would do it, but no luck.[code]
