For each level in my game I have a large bitmap that I need to load. I would like to load the bitmap as the player gets to that level rather than all the bitmaps loading right at the beginning.And this is where I get stuck. I want everything else to load during the beginning pre-loader, but I don't know how to exclude the images from being preloaded at this point. I'd prefer not to load anything externally either.

I need to load each page seperatley.. cause loading the pageflip takes a while (its 1 mb) example:[URL] I tried putting this on every pageMC: _root.mymovieclip.loadMovie("page1.swf") followed by a preloader script, but that didnt work the pageflip can be downloaded here: [URL]
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a flash service tutorial to appear on a website that will be able to play and load 6 steps of a process separately when prompted with a button click. I do not want to link back and forth between web pages to do so, but rather have the files loaded on demand and played within one flash movie "viewer" to keep things clean.
Each movie is going to be somewhat image heavy. load each of the 6 step movies within one main movie file?
I am trying to load multiple images into a scene and then cycle through the images one at a time.So, here are the essentials what I've put together in AS3:First I set up a counter and a Loader

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.
I have a photo gallery that loads many images using a for loop (image data is from XML file). Simplified code looks like this:

I am using actionscript 3. I can load an image in a class but how do Iload a number of images eg 4 images that animate.?These 4 images are a walking sequnce of a character. I am unclear after googling an loading multi images in as3( just love google).
Loading a single image I load this into a loader Once loaded I load the image into a bitmap and add to a sprite I then add the spite to the stage Q)Now for 4 related images I load 4 loader or 4 sprites or 4 bitmaps or do every thing 4 times?I want to do collisions eventually and I need bitmaps but bitmaps seem useless to use other than collisions.Googling for answers isnt helping me clarify this!

I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?

I have a function that adds a player to a sprite containerwhen that player is clicked a hit test is done on the tiles surrounding that player that it can move to and put into an array.all that works fine.my problem is after I add more than one player to the stage I can only move the latest addition when I use MapInfo.player.x = (hexagon_width * .25) + hexagon_x_position-90;I thought if I used getChildByName I might get around making a custom event.but I get an Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. when I use the code below
trace(MapInfo.getPlayer);// =MapInfo.player.name
var targetisplayObject = MapInfo.player.getChildByName(MapInfo.getPlayer);
target.x = (hexagon_width * .25) + hexagon_x_position-90;

View 3 RepliesAnybody knows if it's possible with tweenlite to add tweens on a MC 'seperately' like you can with caurina tweener? the MC will always need to move to X 300 , but depending on circumstances may also need to be tweened to Y or rotated or scaled or alpha'd or colored or filtered. And I also planned to test if it "succeeds" in applying FP10 rotationY to 180 (3D flip around axis) but if that fails applying scaleX to -1 (so it does a simple flip around axis instaed).... basically depending on how the user has set publish settings.

I'm using the new 3D tool in flash to let pictures rotate around there center. To not let it look distorted I will have to adjust the vanishing points for these images separately, however I can't find an option to control them separately. The seem linked for all my 3D movieclips. This will result in having only 1 moviclip animated right. So the question is: how do I control the vanishing points for each movieclip separately?

View 2 RepliesI have successfully dynamically loaded Jpegs into my flash document(using PHP), but then I have another small problem.When I dynamically load the image (example: image_icon_bluesky.jpg) I then need to tell the MC that is holding the loaded image that it needs to do this...
on (release) {
_root.image_bluesky.alpha = 100;
}
SO basically every time a new image is loaded in my sort of "loop" script. I need to tell the image that it needs to put specific code onto the MC using specific "image" details for that specific image.
I hope this is clear. Basically what I'm trying to do.On my flash stage I already have MC's that have their alpha properties set to "0". Lets say there are 3 images. One MC is called Blue, other is called Red and the last one is called Yellow.Now using AS + PHP I have dynamically loaded 3 Jpeg's .
[Code]...
and so on for each image....I have tried to explain this as well as I possibly can. I just wanna know if this is possible or if there is a simple way of doing it

I have a project with two text boxes, "nameBox" and "controlBox" and a button, "createButt",I want the code to control boxes that are made in ActionScript separately, so if i put Hello into the nameBox and press createButt it will create a box with a variable attached called the playerName being the name that is entered in nameBox, when i type the name of the block into the controlBox the block will start to move, the problem is though, doing it with two blocks on the stage it will only move the block every two frames and any more will be slower, is there any way to make this code move the specified block every frame?[code]...

View 3 RepliesThis is not web-based. It is a projector file running locally off my my hard drive and connecting to files on another server on my network.
I'm trying to link to this file through the following code:
loader.load(new URLRequest((path == null) ?
"file:///10.10.100.255/my_file.xml" : path));
(obviously that IP is not real)
but it can't see it. However, it works fine connecting locally.
Does URLRequest not work for finding files on another server?
If I have a rectangle which has a fill of blue and stroke of orange how can I change the stroke to black and the fill to red using actioncript.
When I use the following code it changes the entire rectangle to 0x008000 (green). Either the fill is covering the stroke or it is changing both the fill and stroke to 0x008000 (green).
var myColor:ColorTransform = myRectangle.transform.colorTransform;
savedColor = myRectangle.transform.colorTransform;
myColor.color = 0x008000;

Is it possible to host a class file separate from everything else on a website where it can be edited when needed? For example, I'm thinking that in the Linkage section of the movieclip you would put the path to the location of the as file on the website, so [URL] <--well I guess without the ".as".

View 2 RepliesIm working on a project and I dont know how to even think through the problem, as I've only worked through Flash through AS3, and the following needs to be done completely in AS too.
I have two pieces of content - some flash video, and an mp3, both loaded dynamically with loaders etc. All this I think I have fairly well in hand. What I'd like to do make the 'hick-up' as these tracks loop, disappear by cross fading the video and mp3 across it self in the loop - if that makes any sense at all. I suspect that I'll have to delve into the timeline, but perhaps strangely, never done so.
I've got a Flex/as3 application that is embedded into my webapp. Currently we're embedding images into the swf and loading them like:
Code:
[Embed(source="images/foo.png")]
[Bindable]
public var foo:Class;
There are two things I'm trying to accomplish. The first is the images in the swf are part of a pool of images that the whole web app uses. Currently i have 2 sets of images, one set are images that the rest of my app uses, and the other are duplicates that are used by the swf.
The reason for that is build related (ideally, we could fix this, but fixing the build process is something bigger than i want to tackle at this point in time) I have a ton of images to load up and instead of having a giant ugly if/else block, i was hoping to make a naming convention for the icons, so i could just build a string at runtime and use that to load an image. Is there a way to look up embedded images via a path, or image name? It seems that images/foo.png is floating somewhere around in the swf. Can i get to it without using foo?
Code:
myImage:Image = someMagicalFunction(foo.png);
Im currently making a flash website. and trying to make it as light as possible.so decided to load images dynamically.Im using UILoaders.I drag the UILoader from components into the main timeline and set the source as 1.jpg, because the image is in the same folder as the .fla file.and scale - false
Tested the movie but nothing shows up. i guess i need some coding? but i dont know where to add the codes. on the same frame? or in frame 1? i also need the image to fade-in.the end result im looking for is, as i click a button. 3 images show up at the same time, fading in.
I have about 20 images. And on click I need the images to load in to a MC. I've used this script to each frame. (shown are example scripts are placed in two frames.
