If you load say 3 external images in AS3 and want to run a function "useImages()" only once all three images have loaded what is the best way of listening for them to complete loading.
EG;
loader1.addEventListener(Eveent.COMPLETE, incLoader)
loader2.addEventListener(Eveent.COMPLETE, incLoader)
loader2.addEventListener(Eveent.COMPLETE, incLoader)

I'm not quite conversant with classes and loading external pictures so be patient My intention is the following: a sort of slide show which dynamically loads all pictures of a certain directory and displays them one after the other. To do so I want to get the number of images of a certain diretory (img) by using a PHP script (done), then the PHP-Script sends the data to the Flash file (done) which stores it in a variable (done). I've created a class called PHPLoading for doing this (finally it creates an array which stores the links dynamically created (pictures are named 0.jpg, 1.jpg, [code]...
View 6 RepliesI'm using this AS to load multiple external images into mc instances on a stage, using different loaders.[code] The external images always load from the upper left corner down, how can you make the image load from the center of the instance on stage?I found this code below and doubt it will work for me since I have 5 mc instances on different parts of the stage, so the stage wouldnt be a good reference point.[code]

Then, after loading a list of images from an XML file, I call a function that I called "createImages". This function then takes the list of images and creates a bunch of loaders:

So far, so good! I now have a bunch of loaders each with a different name "img1","img2","img3" etc.

Code:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=24;i++){

I've been doing a lot of thinking about how best to construct classes that load multiple images, e.g. photo galleries and such.
What is everyone's take (or the general agreement, if there is one) on how to load those images? The 2 ways I am thinking about are these (after you've already got all the filepaths or urls to be loaded):
1)Create a for loop [code]...
Here, you are creating anywhere from one to a billion loaders, depending on the number of photos in your gallery, but they will load simultaneously. Is that a terribly bad approach?
The only other way I know of doing it is to add an event listener that re-calls the loading function when the loading of one image completes.
I want to load multiple pictures using ActionScript. I can do it in AS2 easily. But AS3 is driving me nuts.
I am loading all the images, but I am seeing only the last one. [code]...
I have the basic XML which loads an image onto a page but how do I add 2 more next to it, in the actionscript?
I have tried everything that I could think of, including adding extra image[ii] nodes etc.
Below is the code I am using.
I have also created an instance of image2 and and instance of image3 which should hold the 2nd and third pic. So when clicking on the next button it would change out all three images from the images.xml file...or if there are 5 images it would just show the next 2 in the image and image2 movieclip holders...
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];

I am experimenting with AS3 and I created a page that loads around 35 images to the screen from XML and randomly scatters them on the stage. I know how to use the ProgressEvent to show the loading for each individual image, but I am trying to figure out a way to show it as a whole. The one think ive tried & acheived is to have total number of loaded images divided by total number of images. So when 15 of 30 images are loaded its 50 %, etc.... But Id like to have a more effcient preloader that shows the actually loading.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a 360 turn by importing .png files into each movie clip. I wanted the preloader bar to increase in size as each one loads. Once the preloader is completed on frame one, I have it go and stop on frame 2, but there is a blank screen for a view seconds. I think the images were still loading after the preloader was completed.

I have created invisible buttons which when clicked will load an image into a UILoader. When testing, an output error message comes up saying:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: file:///E|/butcher1/images/cut0.jpg
I thought it might have been incorrect naming conventions or instance names but I have checked and I'm sure i've got it all right.
Could it possibly have something to do with my setup of the timeline as I have all my layers on the same line.
Should I start all over?
This is what some of the code looks like an i have done the same for the rest of the invisible buttons
this is what part of the code looks like...
cut7_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_3); function fl_MouseClickHandler_3(event:MouseEvent):void{ // Start your custom code // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel. trace("cut7_btn"); probackground.iloader.source = "images/cut7.jpg"; // End your custom code}
I've been racking my brain on this one and I just want to do something quite basic. I have 2 external images loading in my "Action" layer on the first frame. These load into movieclip containers which I want to tween / fade etc.The images load OK into the containers only when both motion tweens start at frame one. As soon as I move the 2nd image along the timeline the second image does not display (only the container rectangle tweens).If there is an easier way to do this then fantastic. for example should i use UIloader instead.I want to load multiple images and have them as a slideshow that moves.[code]

I need flash to load in three images at one time(from an xml file) and display them in a horizontal line, and then move across the stage from one side to the other.
i know how to load one image at a time but not multiple. and i don't know how to make the images slide across the stage in a line.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do something with xml in flash and don't even know where to begin.I'm building a flash piece for the header of a website that will contain six images and six captions. I plan on integrating the xml file with a cms so that the user can simply upload images and type in captions and the xml file will dynamically populate the swf.I know how to execute the back-end development with the cms and xml file, but I'm not quite sure how to tie the pieces I need from the xml to the flash file.

Basically my aim is to use SharedObject to save the basically what I am doing is I have a list of buttons each has a name which when clicked the name is added to an array which is stored in a SharedObject. In another movie clip I am calling back the SharedObject and using the array information to display the images corresponding to the name in the array. And I got everything working except I don't know how I can load my images in. Because the same images are not always selected it means that I can't just load each image to a specific Loader because then I would end up with blank loaders.

I am not too familiar with flash / action script though it does look a lot like JavaScript which I am fairly familiar with.
what I need:
I have an animation that looks like an envelope is opening and a letter comes out. It works fine but what I want to do next is the tough part.
I want to be able to change the envelope images / letter via php. I am successfully passing in the parameters and images but unfortunately my preloader doesn't pre-load those external images causing the animations to lag or not show up. I need them to all be loaded in 1 preloader.
What I have so far:
in PHP I pass the variables via URL to the flash:
Code:
$invite = $_GET['inv'];
$env = $_GET['env'];
$vars = "inv=" . $invite . "&env=" . $env;

I am trying to load multiple images by iterating through a for loop. For each image I instantiate a loader and send a loader request. I want to stop the iteration of the loop and cancel all loader requests sent, in case a user navigates out of the screen. How can I do this?
View 2 RepliesI am designing a game that has different rooms and each room has multiple unique images in it in addition to the background. For the record, the size is about 300K or less for each room background image and 1 - 100 K per graphic. What I am currently doing is importing all of the images into my Flash file, making symbols of them and then loading them as needed with ActionScript. Assuming this game will have many many rooms (maybe up to 100 or more), is this the most efficient (and quick) way to load the graphics? Or would I need to load everything from the graphic files when starting the program or perhaps load the graphics from files dynamically as needed?

The problem is that I want the completeHandler() to run after every ldr.load() but in my code it only runs once right after the for each loop.
I've been following along with this tutorial, which works except it uses an array to store the image path, and then later converts/saves the loaded Bitmap to a variable.
For cleaner more reusable code though, I'd like the images to come from an XML file.
Now, I'm assuming that if I have my image paths in an XMLList, I need to separate each item so that each is an XML object -- then convert it to a string so it can be saved as a Bitmap?
I am currently building an mp3 player with a little screen which displays some images in a certain order. Everything is loaded in through XML. I would like to preload those images together with my main movie (using the same preloader bar), so the images can be used later. How would I accomplish this?
