View 1 RepliesI 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:

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 wrote these functions which I use in conjunction to scale down some BitmapData and save it as a PNG. However, the scaledImage.draw(originalImage, scalingMatrix, null, null, null, true); line with smoothing set to true does not have the intended smoothing effect when I save the bitmap data as a PNG using the second function. The resulting image file is not antialiased at all. Is there anything I'm doing wrong here?
public static function scaleImage(originalImage:BitmapData, size:int):BitmapData
{
// Calculate the scaled size.

View 2 RepliesI have just taken over a Flash website for a friend (like two days ago!) He needs me to add a picture to a movie in his website.

View 4 RepliesI'm loading an image in a UILoader Component (created during runtime).
var lb:UILoader = new UILoader();
addChild(lb);
Now when I load any image into this then it loads on top of everything.I know this is because it goes over the top of stack. But is there any solution by which i can move it downwards or even at the bottommost layer. I've tried setChildIndex(lb, 0) though but it didn't work.
I am loading the actionscript for my flash file from an external .as file. But it seems no matter what layer i place the #include "code.as" It always loads on top. I need to know if there is a way to get it to load to a different layer.
