I've searched for ages on this and I can't see how it's done, I've got a set of images in my library and each one has been "exported for actionscript" with class names of stim1, stim2...stim12. Now, I have a bit of actionscript code that creates instances of these classes and will load the stimuli to the stage:

I use the following code to load some banners: a "banner" is a clickable PNG image. I get the URL it must point to through a parameter of the AdLoader class.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
[Code].....
In practice, I create some MovieClip containers (loader_1, loader_2, etc.) and in each container I want to load one image.
What happens: when the images are loaded I want to position each image at the y+10 pixel of the preceding, so if the first is at y:0 and its height is 140, I want the second image at y:150 (and so on). I can't understand what it happens but sometimes the code works, while most of the time it doesn't.
I'm trying to dynamically stack images that are being pulled in via an xml file. Below is what I'm doing, and it almost works. The problem is that it only seems to fire off the event complete function on the very last one, instead of going for all of them. Is there a way to make it run the even.complete function for each image?
function aboutfileLoaded(event:Event):void {
aboutXML = new XML(aboutTextLoader.data);
for(var l:int = 0; l < aboutXML.aboutimages.image.length(); l++)

I have a project that was dumped on my lap, and my knowledge of Actionscript is very limited.
The scenario is that the user is presented with a floormap of a building that should show a red dot denoting where each employee sits (based on X,Y coordinates on the floormap).
The employees' profiles (name, telephone, X/Y coordinates) are stored in a database.
One our our programmers managed to load the users into a Flash object array. Now, it's my turn to add some actionscript to place a red dot on the floormap for each and every user in that array based on their x/y coordinates.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI am trying to load 10 images through an array using a loop. I have the images loaded as movieclips and this set up but nothing is working. Any suggestions?
var picArray:Array = new Array[img1,img2,img3,img4,img5,img6,img7,img8,img9,img10];
for (var i:Number=0; i<10; i++) {
}
What I'm trying to do is to create a class loading three images as a pile into a movie clip and be able to switch from one image to another (with a fade effect) thanks to a method (setPic).
The problem I have is when I want to store my loaded image into my array( magnitude[i-1] = loader.content; ) it doesn't load anything, provoking the addchild(magnitude[i-1]); to return a null error. I know the file is properly loaded because if I addchild(loader.content) directly it does load the image (but I can't store it and access it later obviously).[code]...
I am trying to figure out how to load a folder of images into an array.
I'm not sure how to do this?
I don't want to have to reference each image, but just reference the folder, which will load in all the images to an array.
I have an XML document that lists url of images to be displayed. What I want to do is load the length of images in the XML doc into an Array. Then take that array and make movieclips for each one.
View 2 RepliesI'm going to show a bunch of images in a slideshow.Since everybody hate waiting for things to load, I thought it would be a good idea to load all the images in the background while the user is clicking on other things. - user enters page-- design and menues are loaded--- the page is showed to the user---- images used in other parts of the flash-site is loading "behind the scenes".When the user finally open the slideshow, he/she don't have to wait for the images to load.This is my code:

I've got a weird problem that could probably be easily fixed if I weren't such a novice coder. I'm loading external jpegs into movie clips that are within a movie clip which is within another movie clip (because they are animated as a whole within the other movie clips). The XML loads fine. The "Image" class I've made up is defined. The attributes from the XML load into the array of images.
However, I can't loop through the movieclips to actually load the images. But if I define manually the movie clip loads it loads perfectly. Here is the code that loads the images successfully, but not 100% dynamically:
ActionScript Code:
// Define the Images Array
var ImageArray:Array = new Array();

I have an array with 20 elements and a shuffle function applied. Now i need to screen only 4 elements from that, which then should be deleted from the array in order to avoid repetition (next play will pick other 4 images and so on) Anyone knows if there a class i can use?

Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

So I'm working on my portfolio and I got this problem. The code posted scrolls the sprite "cellContainer" based on the position of stage.mouseY. Perfect.Problem is that I want stage.mouseY to equal the entire cellContainer height. Kind of like how a small tablet equals a huge monitor. So when stage.mouseY = 0,cellContainer.y = 0 and when stage.mouseY = stage.stageHeight, cellContainer.y = stage.stageHeight - cellContainer.height. Right now, it scrolls, but it takes a while to scroll throught the entire height of cellContainer. I want it to be proportional to stage.mouseY.
Actionscript Code:
private function scrollStart(e:Event)[code]....
I am working on a site, that has 5 main pages: the home, and four sub-pages. Essentially, I have an element that slides up over the screen anytime you click "from" the home page to one of the remaining pages. Consequently, when returning to the home page, the element slides away / off the screen.
I am thinking the best way to handle this is with a conditional statement, but not really sure at all how that code would look especially in relation to position. My thinking for the code would be as follows:

I would like to input a certain (x,y) coordinate and have a function return which movie clip is based at that location. Is such a method possible, to refer to a movie clip based on its position rather than instance name?
View 1 Replieshow to get the X and Y coordinates of a character in a string based on index? I find it odd that I can get the exact letter and index by clicking a character in a text field, but I haven't found anything in code that can get those coordinates without a user click. Seems like they would have to know the x,y of the individual indexs to be able to tell you what letter you're clicking based on your own mouse coordinates.
View 3 RepliesI'm doing an online advertising format (728x90 leaderboard). I have embedded a video into the flash file which covers 1/3 of the format (242x90).What i need to do is seek this video from 0% to 100% based on the mouse position over this area (242x90). I'm guessing it would be easier if i created a button over the video which is 242x90 but i would still be looking for the code that seeks the video based on the mouse position over the button.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a faux 3D rotation animation where if the user mouses to the right the object rotates right and if the user mouses to the left the object rotates left. Depending on how far they move the mouse the rotation should speed up or slow down.I spent a lot of time making an object in 3d studio max and importing the animation of rotation as JPEGs onto the timeline. I figured the most efficient way to go about this would be to make the mouse control the timeline instead of the object itself.
View 4 RepliesI have a thumbs_mc with thumbnail images. Within thumbs_mc, I have a transparent overlay_mc that functions as a button. Mouse over the overlay_mc and the alpha chages so there is a tint over that particular thumbnailWhen overlay_mc is clicked, the main timeline goes to a particular frame label.What I need to do is have the position of the playhead on the main timeline also determine the alpha of the overlay_mc so the viewer knows which thumbnail is playing.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to create 360 degree spin-around product viewer. So far I have a movie clip with 24 frames, each one with a different 15 degree angle shot of the product. Upon playback of the movie, the product appears 3D, spinning 360 degrees.
That was the easy part. Now what I need is to be able to click and drag the product to change which view you are seeing (or which frame in the mc you are on) thus producing a spinning effect. How can you code, in AS3.0, that when the mouse is clicked and drug, go to a certain frame based on the current X position of the mouse?
Any smart people out there who can tell me why this function Im working on to automatically sort the depths of objects placed on the 3D plane is only working intermittently? It seems to work every second or third iteration?[code]Is getChildAt(i) reliable? IE does it return the same order each time it runs or is it based on depth? looking at the manual suggests that it's probably the latter so I guess I'll need to make my own array ordered by the time the sprites were added to the parent and work from there. Is there a better way?
