I'm loading a .jpg into an object, and what I'm trying to do is load that same .jpg into another object later on in the script without requesting it to be downloaded (since it should already be in memory). Here is an example of what I'm using:
Code:
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("photo1.jpg"));
[code]......
I'm working on a class to track the loading of N objects.In order to do that, I Use a class called Advenced Loader inheriting from flash.display.Loader.I want to be able to listen to the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS but instead of receiving how many bytes have been loaded so far, I want to know how many byes have been loaded since the last PROGRESS event.So, I have the bytesPerProgress property inside the AdvancedLoader class which listens to its contentLoaderInfo object to calculates the bytesPerProgress.Then, inside another class which uses the AdvencedLoader I could do that:[code]
That's where I get an error #2099. It seems that I can't access the Loader instance only until after it completed the loading proccess.What I really need here is (if I could) to change the contentInfoLoader. loader to reference to my AdvancedLoader class instead of the Loader interface which doesn't include my new bytesPerProgress (implicit getter).What I could have done instead is to listen to the PROGRESS event inside the AdvancedLoader and then dispatch new PROGRESS event from within the AdvancedLoader. That's not quite what I thought it would be like, but I can't think of anything else since the contentLoaderInfo is an implicit getter (read only).
I loaded 5 JPG's into specific locations of an array via the URLRequest. So now when I trace my array:
[Code]...
THE PROBLEM: when I scan getXMLlinksArray and see that its NOT null, and i try to addChil to xmlImgHolder and then to spriteHolderArray, I just get a blank space. The debuger is showing that spriteHolderArray contains some loader info and the appropriate URL up until I load it with the existing loader from getXMLlinksArray. Then it says it doesn't have any conentedLoadedInfo.
having trouble removing loaded child object b4 loading a new one i can load a child object with this script if button is pressed:
[Code]...
but having difficulty unloading child object when just that mc_char.btn_darkangel button is pressed. Cause otherwise it just adds another instance then another and another and the different instances kinda pile ontop of each other my question is how can i incorporate removeChild script so that mc_char.btn_darkangel doesn't just pile instances of image ontop of each other
I created an array in the var declarations with Code: var private eDrag:Array In a function that adds imported mcs to the stage, I also added code to push each to the array. Here is an example of a block of code loading the object with the part pushing the object to the array at the end:

is there a way in action to group to object so when one object is drag across the screen the other object sticks with it, im using flash btw
View 6 RepliesSo I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class. Which is cool, but I need something more dynamic than just sending a fixed value.So, what is the best way to connect the Loader object of the Photo object, with the EventRatio object?

View 1 RepliesI have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?
View 1 RepliesWhat i'm doing is, getting the URL of the image I want from and XML file. It works just fine. It shows up on stage and everything. The thing is though, when I want to resize the image and everything, nothing shows up at all.[code]Basically me just adding imageLoader.with = 100; and imageLoader.height = 100; to the xmlLoadedF function.
View 2 RepliesI create dynamically movieclips, each one filled with an image from a list by importing an XML file.I colorize each movieclip at runtime.This works fine.I need to be able to reference which image is what movieclip so as to export pairs of image name / color value.I tried adding a counter and naming the movieclips inside an onComplete eventListener, but the loading is not sequential and I get random results.

I have two swf, one loads the other using a Loader class, in the loaded swf I have a NetConnection object which I need to access from the host swf, but I can't, if I debug the app, I see the obejct is there, but I can't access it, if I try to set a variable likeloadedSWF = connectorLoader.content (connectorLoader is the Loader object)loadedSWF is always nullIf I debig the app, I see the NetConnection in the loaded SWF, but I can't have access to it, I have try to use Security.allowDomain("*") in both swf to be sure, but nothing, I thought that only doing the allowDomain method I will have access to the loaded SWF objects

I have a site loading a large number of thumbs and even a video at the top. Every once in a while the loader object gets stuck. I have an EVENT.COMPLETE on it and it doesn't appear to get called.
Any help? This appears to happen primarily on the first time loading. I am using Safari on Mac for the browser as well, if this makes a difference
Is it possible to add Display Objects to an already loaded SWFs? I gave it a shot, by going "loader.content.addChild" but as I found out, content does not contain an addChild() method.

I am doing a dynamically loading gallery by way of xml, now, i have the loading of the images going to where flash sizes them and puts them down as thumbs, all i want to do is when the user clicks on the thumb that already loaded image gets duplicated into the main area full size.... for the life of me i can't figure it out, it seems like it would be simple enough but i have been pulling my hair out for the longest..... by the way the publish settings are actionscript 2.0 with fp8.

I have a swf that should be able to load another swf in runtime. Then I would like the loaded swf to call a method of the parent, loader swf, like this:
Code:
parent.closeForm;
But when I compile it, it throws this error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property closeForm through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
I've tried:
Code:
if (parent != stage){
parent.closeForm;
}
So flash won't run this code at compile time, but it always throws that error. Here is the code of the LOADER swf:
Code:
private function loadForm():void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(formPath);
loader.load(mRequest);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFormCompleteHandler);
[Code] .....
How could I write an expression that should call a function of the LOADER swf without having this compile-time error?

I'm using flashDevelop for an avatar creation engine. I have a movieclip(class) called body_view which is structures like this : body_view -> 10 visual body components -> each component needs to have a jpeg loaded Then there is a body_model class which is extended from the body_view class and is responsible for all loads/saves/interactions now body_model class is as follows: body_models -> variables holding (values) -> populateView (function)
Now through the populateView function I need to populate the components of body_view but the issue is if I load a jpeg/swf on a function it comes on stage. I do not want it on stage I want it in its perticular place in the body_view

I am using the 1.2 version of Uza's Global singleton (http://www.uza.lt/codex/as3-global-object/). The container swf stores some data and a link to a function in the "global" object.
Then another swf is loaded inside the container, it gets it's global instance with Global.getInstance();, and i suppose i can access the data and function stored in global by the container swf.
This works perfectly on localhost served by a webserver, but when i put the files on my external production server the loaded swf's global appears to not have anything stored by the container.
Is it possible to use JavaScript to detect whether a .swf file has loaded completely within a web page?Assume that the .swf file is pulled from a 3rd-party website and we don't have access to its source code.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a Flash application that has thumbnails and fullsize versions of an image. The steps I'm taking:
- import the image at runtime, and attach to a movieclip (we'll call it polaroid, since that's what I'm calling it).
- resize polaroid via polaroid._width=3; polarois._height=3; to get my thumb
The image quality is OK for pictures, but it's also fairly important that text not look too pixelated. Is there anything relatively simple (i.e. not too taxing on RAM) I can do here? Even a blurring layer would do the job, if there is any such thing.
