ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Images From Within Class - Alpha Mystery
Jul 22, 2011
I've got something very strange happening with the alpha of some loaded pictures. I load 27 images dynamically from within a class:
PHP Code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;
public class Portrait extends Sprite{
[Code] .....
However the first 4 portraits won't change alpha to a float number, I can only set the alpha to 1.
Code:
test_portrait = new Portrait(i, 0.8, (film_width/2)-(240), white_bg_square.y);
Results in a blank screen for the first 4 portraits... All the other portraits change transparency fine. There's nothing wrong with the loaded pictures because I swapped 1 for 10 and the problem remained while image 10 in an other position changes alpha just fine.

I'm trying to make a URL-Loader Class to speed up my workflow, but I can't manage to make the images I am loading visible, turning their alpha to 1.
I use the following line to invoke my custom loader:
import com.ab.utils.Load
Load.Image(menuitem.holder_mc, menuitem.image, this)
[Code]....
Notice where I call a Tweener, trying to make my mc (_ITEM)'s alpha turn 1.
I tried thing like loader.content and loader.content.holder_mc, but to no avail.

Im working on a large project that requires text and images to load from an xml file. I have the text working like it should, but have problems with getting images. Its basically an interactive powerpoint IE: swf loads, shows menu selection buttons, when you click a lesson, you can go through different pages of info, I need to load images based on whatever page its on. Example: Lesson 1 has 4 pages of info, when you click the next button, a different picture needs to be displayed.

I have a gallery, which loads up all its images from an XML file. So the XML gets loaded, when loaded it calls a function urlLoaded. That in turn puts uses a Thumbnail class for each image in the XML, which then gets placed in an array, so the array can be iterated through to establish X and Y pos of each image when added to the mc Photocontainer.
PHP Code:
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pics.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xml:XML;
[Code]......
I'm passing the parameter 'i' through to the tracel function as this traces when each image has finished loading. I have a preloader in the main timeline I want to control. Say there are 20 images, how do I use the info in the tracel function to control that preloader? Would it be best to pass into the Thumbnail class the xmlList.length(), so the number of total images and then from the tracel function add and control a preloader, so when image 10 is complete the tracel function would make a slider its added to stage go to half way.

I'm trying to load external images in the usual way;
Code:
loader=new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(_thumb));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoadComplete);
private function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void{
thumb.addChild(loader);
}
But when it comes through to the onLoadComplete Function, I get a sandbox violation. I've tried using Security.allowDomain and a crossdomain.xml file, but it just won't work. Even more annoyingly, if I do the exact same thing, but within the main class file, it works fine.5 or so of these classes that need to load images are loaded from an XML file (which also works fine without allowdomain etc). Is there some sort of conflict going on because of there being more than one of them?

I've ran into a weird problem with getCharBoundaries, I could not figure out what coordinate space the coordinates returned from the function was in. What ever I tried I could not get it to match up with what I expected. So I made a new project and and added simple code to highlight the last charater in a textfield, and all of a sudden it worked fine. I then tried to copy over the TextField that had been causing me problems, into the new project. And now the same weird offset appeared 50px on the x axis.Everything else was spot on. So after some headscracthing comparing the two TextFields, I simply can not see a difference in their properties or transformation.
So I was hoping that someone might now what property might affect the coordinates returned by getCharBoundaries.

I am using Flash 8 - trying to get started by simply fading in/out using Alpha. I totally get on the first layer converting image to movie, inserting key frame and motion tween, selecting clip and changing alphato 0%. Where I am absolutely lost - is when it comes the second, third, fourth and fifth image. I have tried inserting new layers and repeating the steps - but for some reason 2-5 images do not transition like image one.

I have the code below which rotates a MC and fades it in to 100alpha and then fades it out again to 0 alpha. bearing in mind that all this happens on one frame, is there a way to get rid of the ghost image of the MC once the alpha gets down to 0?
I've tried to achieve this at the foot of this code with the removeMovieClip() but it doesn't seem to work.I know i could just let the timeline play to another frame once the animation is over to get rid of the ghost image but i'd really like to keep the animation to just the one frame...
onClipEvent (load) {
amount = 5;
count = 0[code]..........

I'm working with a video in Flash where I am capturing each frame and testing the color of a single pixel. I'm using it to determine when a white/transparent background changes to be a color. The following AS2 code works flawlessly when I preview it in Flash and on my desktop in the browser (the direct SWF and placed inside HTML using SWFObject) but as soon as I upload it to my server it fails and produces "FFFFFF" continuously regardless.
this.onEnterFrame = function()[code]..........
There is no difference in the files; they are both pulling from the same video source (hosted on an Flash FLV server).The only difference is one set of files is hosted on my local computer and the other is hosted on my web server.

I cant understand why when I look in the library I see the frames without the alpha channel and also when I try to export/extract the image again the image dont have alpha channel. How is it that in flash this image has alpha channel and how to get it out like that into PNG? Here is the link to download the FLA:[URL]..

what is it called when you have a image say 50x500 but is shown as a 50x50 and every so many seconds it changes its x by +50 making it play like a filmstrip. Also is it possible to color-to-alpha images imported VIA .load ?

I'm creating a portfolio which has tiny square buttons (one for each image) and arrows buttons to navigate through the portfolio. Everything is working just great, but I need the square buttons, when pushed, to change alpha or turn to dk grey instead of lt grey, and remain this way until the next image is shown. They should act as indicators as to where you are in the portfolio. The code I'm using is as follows:
picture._x=24;
picture._y=31;
function loadXML(loaded) {

It has been years since I have used flash so I am probably a beginner again. I have just got CS3 but most of what I remember I think is action script 1.I have a website that I want to make the images load from external into swf file. I want to then control the alpha with the rollover. I got so far but... alpha works only if jpg is inside. when I have it outside it just flashes on and off on load.I need to make the my_mc to load from outside then fade in. After which I have the rollover fade in/out code below...
Button.prototype.fadeIn = MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function () {
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (this._alpha<100) { [code].....

What im trying to achieve is an alpha effect with image transitions. I have some links that I want to make an alpha fade for images when the users passes over the buttons. The effect that im searching for is like this one:
[URL]
But only, they should be triggered by rollovers not mousemovement. In addition i have some images connected to the buttons. for instance on productslink the product image should be "alpha 100%" and the previous image should animate from 100 to 0 % alpha.

I'm in the middle of building a simple flash slideshow, using alpha fades between images. I have three layers, the first one being text, on the timeline for each layer/image. The other two layers are images, small footprint (sized and optimized in photoshop, each less than 100k). When I hit the Enter key it will play on timeline but the preview and fla file just won't start, hung up on the first frame.

All the images have to be in timeline 1 on different layers(they all have to be in timeline one........).I have a frame, it has a lot of images on it, with them all set to _alpha = 0;
on a button press the required image has its alpha set to 100;
however this means there will be a lot of images on the screen at once....
If alpha is set to 0 does flash have to still draw the object, is there a better way ?

I want to mask an object which will contain text and images. I want the mask to be feathered at the bottom end, for a nice smooth effect when it animates into place. For my masking object, I've created a movie clip with a gradient, using a matrix fill. When I apply the mask, it works, but only as a rectangle. The feathered area (the grey bit) still masks completely. I'm stumped with this one. I've searched around for an explanation, but can't get it to work. Does anyone know of any examples of this working?

I'm trying to take a png and create two images, one that represents the color data and the other a grayscale version of the alpha channel.
Extracting the correct data was no problem, i'm just embedding the png, creating a new instance (as a Bitmap) and then extracting the relevent channels of it's bitmapData to two new bitmapData instances.
ActionScript Code:
[Embed(source='/../deploy/images/alpha_test.png')]
public var image : Class;
[code]....
The problem that i'm having, is that when i assign the colors bitmapData to a bitmap instance to display it, the background color is showing as black, even though the default fillColor of a bitmapData instance is white. how i can use the alpha channel data to create an 8 bit, grayscale image, that's the reverse of the channel?

Below is the code for dynamic image gallery from XML.
We have an alpha effect to the image animation when the image is loading. The affect is working fine (fade in).
But, when the next image is loading, we want fade out alpha affect to the current image before the next image loads.

Explaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.

I have a movieclip named holder inside a movieclip named wrapper and a button that loads an external swf into wrapper.holder when it is pressed.I want to be able to fade in the external swf after its loaded by tweening the Wrapper movieClip's alpha property but the external swf just keeps appearing. When I use the same code to load an external jpg everything works fine. I used an onEnterFrame event to trace the _alpha of wrapper and it shows wrapper tweening in in 3 unit intervals.
Code:
myButton.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("projects/aboutBox.swf", wrapper.holder);
wrapper.holder.onEnterFrame = function () {[code]...........
