ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Dynamic URL On To Image?
Aug 11, 2010
I have an arrow image I want to pass a URL to dynamically. This image is in a movie where the content comes in via an XML and scrolls through a number of messages. Each message has its own destination URL, and I want this URL to be attached to the existing arrow so that the arrow image is a link. How do I do this?If this was just a textfield I'd do something like this:var myURL:String = "<a href='" + URLfromXML + "'> + someText + "</a>";field.htmlText = myURL;But of course this won't work since this isn't a text field, it's an image.

1.I am doing a spinning wheel game, where the user gets 3 spins. After each spin, an image will display at the top of the wheel - of what they have won. At the end of the 3 spins they can then choose what they would like from the 3.Now, how can you display image like this? Would it be a 'Graphic' symbol or a 'Button' if it's a button (which i believe is the case) how can you display an image. In the code hint doesn't seem to be a parameter that you can edit to change a source.
2.I'm using Flash CS5 Pro, and i notice on a Lynda.com video that he goes to 'View->Simulate Download'. Mine doesn't have this, just before i publish would like to do a preloader but my version doesn't seem capable of doing it.
3.I was asked during work to make a form before my game starts, i'm wary about making significant edits like this because scared will break it.Is it easy/safe to insert a frame before it happens?
4. I have an EnterFrame event and it seems to play over and over again - as if it's on a loop, is this normal?
5. I have tried to publish my swf as html, but my movie would go from 1 dot aligned in the middle to 5, and back to 1 again.. like a preloader.. but it would never start.

i'm messing around with senoculars example for doing a transition [URL]. the only problem is that he's using images that are being exported from the library. i want to use it by loading images dynmically but i can't figure out how. i don't know much about the bitmap class and have been failing on figuring it out for hours now.
the main function where the problem is:
Code:
function loadTransBitmap(id){
var tempbmp = flash.display.BitmapData.loadBitmap(id);
transbmp.copyPixels(tempbmp, tempbmp.rectangle, basepoint);
tempbmp.dispose();
}
the 'id' would just be a path of an image like "images/test.jpg"
i know you can't use loadBitmap for dynamic images and my logic is that i have to load the image in a movieclip, and then loadBitmap that movieclip but I can't seem to get that to work. i think in order to get the transition to work though i need to use that loadBitmap eventually.

I have a movieclip that I would like to load an image into. I can't even get it to load just a normal image...with, for example:
test_mc.loadMovie("http://www.trpsearchit.com/images/hw3image/hourly_KROC_rochester_ny_us_010066_ffffff_50035447 20.png");
That was just for test purposes, what I really want it to do is process this: "http://www.trpsearchit.com/cgi-bin/weather
/trpweather.cgi?forecast=hourly&pands=14626&config= png&alt=hwicc&hwvttf=&daysonly=1&hwvbg=010066&hwvt c=ffffff&hwvusettf=0"
I was thinking it would have to be in an IF statement, that when (loaded) then take the URL that it returns and have the movieclip load it. The test link (the first one) is the what the server processes when you type in the second link in your browser.....

I have a MC called image_mc. When I load an image from XML, I want the centre of the image to be over the MC.Here is my code which isn't working. Currently, it positions the top left of the image at the MC regardless if the image is portrait or landscape.
Code:
pic = portfolioTag.childNodes[num].attributes.IMAGE;

I have an application that I'm migrating from flex 3 to flex 4.5. In this application, there is some mx Image components that load a simple swf file (image). Spark image doesn't load swf files, so I was wondering, should I keep the mx Image, or should I change it to SWFLoader? Is there any advantages to using one or the other?

I'm creating a moodboard application where the user can dynamically load an image onto the stage by pressing a thumb of the image in a menu item. I have most of that working but what I would like to know is that, if there is a way the user can interactively scale/transform the image when it is on the stage in the swf file?

I want to have an swf load an image file in an image container within the swf from the querystring. 1. In the query string I'd like the extension of the image file to not show:
2. In the swf I might have more then one place where the same howdy.jpg loads, but in different sizes. Which method would keep the aspect ratio of original and resize to fit varying container sizes?
3. I have some javascript parsing code with an swf example that I got from this page. [URL] But when I tried to alter the fla for my use it didn't work. I wasn't able to find 1 line of actionscript in the query.fla.

I would like to be able to add the functionality of being able to load different galleries from a menu without loading a new mc with gallery inside it. I managed to botch the file up pretty good on my own, and was wondering if there is a ready answer nearby.So I'm thinking have but1, but2 and but3, with a seperate xml file for each. What would you recommend for a smooth way to swap the the xml files to the gallery, and load the first image of the new xml file? Also, can it be done with one big ol' xml file while keeping the galleries seperate? It's not necessary, but could be handy, and save some loading.It would also be interesting to apply the same principle to the resizing script that Scotty has in that big Resizing thread, just a thought.

The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............

I want to make a flash movie which will load image and its hyperlink dynamically from external source. I know this is very common over the internet and as per some of the tutor I've done loading the image part but not able to sort out how to hyperlink that Below is the code
Code:
myData = new LoadVars()
myData.load("anastasio.txt")
myData.onLoad = function(succes)
{
[code]....
The text file "anastasio.txt" just have this line "image=photo.jpg". "holder_mc" is a blank movie clip. The image is loading properly but I dont know how to hyperlink that!! Can any one let me know how to do that dynamically.
Also, this is a very simple way of loading the image from text file but in real this will come from DB. The Admin will insert the image name and the url in DB and uploads the image to a specific folder from where the flash will load that image. I'm thinking what could be a better way from below to do the above stated task:
1) On insertion into DB, I need to create an XML file from DB fetching the image name and url and writing them to XML file. And every time the flash will load these from XML file instead of connecting to DB server.
2) No XML file. The flash will communicate with a PhP page which will fetch the records from DB and give it to flash for loading
I know both the ways for loading data into flash i.e. from XML or DB. I just wanted to know which could be the best!! In my opinion, XML file would be a better option since no DB connectivity every time on website but there will be only one record at a time which will get changed once in every month which is preventing me from creating XML file for just 1 record!!!

I have been trying to figure out how to create this movieclipI have a bunch of images which is laid out horizontally (x axis). The functionality is very simple, when I click on the movieclip it will allow me to drag it from right to left and vice versa. This part is simple enough. I face a problem when it comes to the end and the beginning of the movieclip. How do I make it undraggable when it reaches the end of the movie clip and vice versa when I drag it back to the beginning.

I'm trying to load dynamic text from a variable specified in my HTML. I have searched all over and can't find an answer. Most of the tutorials are for loading dynamic text from a text file. This is NOT what I want...I create a dynamic text box and give it the variable name "mytext".
I then add the following to my HTML code.
<param name="flashvars" value="mytext=something" />
<embed src="test.swf?mytext=Something" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550"

Trying to make a dynamic gallery that pulls images (along with names and dimensions) from different folders on the server. Want clients to be able to drop new images into these folders and have them pulled into the gallery dynamically. Do I need to use PHP as I did with AS2? or can AS3 pull the image names and dimensions from the folders on the server?

I am creating an image dynamically on flex. This images changes (as in changes image source) when the user clicks on it. Images are PNG format and I replace it with this code:
img.source = PATH_TO_IMAGE;
The problem with this is when I replace the image is it is not smooth even if you set the image property to smoothBitmapContent.
Is there a way to smoothen images when you are trying to replace the source?

I am using Flash 8. For the site I planned to use dynamic text boxes for each page so my client can update the pages. There is no text, just an image.
Go to: [URL] After the intro, click on Featured Listings, Buyers Needs or Bio & References.
The image is distorted. Also, for some reason the dynamic text box is about 350px and the image size displayed needs to be 525 to fit correctly.
Here is the action script I used:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
myText_txt1.htmlText = this.content;
[Code].....
