I am using Flex to create a sort of photo viewer that loops through an array of photos when users click on arrow buttons. However, I wanted to make it so if an image is broken then it would be skipped, but I can't seem to find a way of checking if the image is broken.
View 3 RepliesI've just finished a flash projector for my company's lobby that displays all members of the staff in a dynamically generated grid with a page for each department. Flash reads an xml file generated from our Active Directory using php.
I've just discovered a bug. We have several employees that don't wish to have their images displayed; the autogenerated path to their images are therefore false. When the screen loads, a blank space appears where the movieclip is supposed to load.
How do I detect that the image link is bad (must be simple as flash gives out debug errors)? I would like to load an alternate image for staff with missing images.
Here's a snippet of where the movie clips are generated:
Code:
for (i=0;i<nodes.length;i++) {
attachMovie("container", "new"+i, i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos});
//load the image from the xml nodes array
this["new"+i].photo.loadMovie("images/staff/"+nodes[i].attributes.photo);
}
I need to create a photo viewer like this one: [URL] You can see that if you zoom in a picture it will start download from a server for a better quality one.

View 2 RepliesI have a couple of questions with regards to video playback in Flash using AS 3. I'm not very good with flash coding so I've used the default video importer to import the video (file > import > import video). However I'm trying to put an event handler in that will detect when playback has completed and then take the viewer back to the main menu. I know it has something to do with NetStatusEvent but not sure how to connect it with the video.
Additionally when a viewer is watching a video, if they click a button below the video it takes them, say, back to the main menu. However the video continues to play in the background. I have put a 'video.pause();' on any button that takes the viewer away from the video, however the video is still loading in the background which isn't the ideal.

If for some reason (nice way of saying the people maintaining this are not computer peeps and prolly will name things poorly, or forget to upload or something). if for some reason it cannot find a thumbnail, is there anyway to make flash use a default thumbnail image in its place?
way to show a jpeg image while a Flash file is loading or better, if they don' t have Flash?
Problem is that when people go to a site and they don't have Flash and can't install it (ie: iPhone), they can't see phone numbers, address etc. which is why that came there. It would sure easier to push Flash if there was a way to have an alternate image to view.
On my air application, I try to load image like this:
var imAc:Image=new Image();
imAc.source=rootFile+value+"-V-"+label+".png";
Sometimes, image source doesn't exist. In this case, broken icon appear but if this error appear I'd like to change image source

I'm using flex 4.1 to write an application and I was wondering how can I configure that whenever I try to load an image and the link is broken it will show a different image that i have embedded into my application.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to convert an image viewer into an nav bar. The images are blurred and as the mask rolls over, the sharper image then becomes visible in its place. All the pics are in one MC. I want to add AS to make each image at on release go to a separate url.

Currently, it opens to the first image in the set. I think it would be better if it opened to the first page of the thumbnail browser instead, to let people that are clicking on it know that there are more images in the set than just the one. Otherwise, they would have to know to click on the little "additional guides" icon in the lower right corner.
I just need some help on quite a basic topic. Essentially I want a very simple image viewer. There are small thumbnails on the right, when one of them is clicked, a enlarged version of that image shows up next to all the thumbnails. When another thumbnail is clicked, the new image replaces the previous. I have searched google however all I find are more complex image viewers which you download and link to a gallery...
View 3 RepliesI have taken a shot at creating a viewer like what can be found at [URL]in Flash, but mine is not working right. I am on Flash MX Pro 2004, so I'm not sure what version this lines up with? I can also send you the file I've been working on if that would help. I found some code online that I have tweaked, but it was for a different viewer, and I'm sure that's where my problems are coming from.

I am recently making a website in flash cs3 using flash actionscript 2. I have currently put a zoom&pan image viewer into one of the website pages to use as a map viewer. However once pasted into a empty movie clip it seems to be displaying a whole lot of white space once fully zoomed out and the image being only around a 1/4 of the assigned area. I am thinking its something to do with the alignment. I have also attached the swf file, for quick view. The image can be found if you enter corporate in the first window then venue in the side menu.

The movieclip is labelled "map".
I'm currently making a polaroid image viewer working off of this tutorial: [URL] It's my first time working in Flash, so I'm kind-of on the verge of a mental breakdown. Anyways, to my own surprise I've actually gotten it to work and look great. My issue? I'm making the overall project larger and with more images (800 x 600 with seven images). Anyways, when I publish preview the flash document it shows up 800 x 600 but all of the polaroids are squished together as though it's still 600 x 600. Is there a way that I can space them out a bit? Or, even better, is there a way that I can have each of the polaroids sit in a specific spot on the flash document?

I downloaded a simple xml image gallery online and would like to put it in my .fla. It seems like the best way of doing this would be to load it in as an swf. It seems like a simple task, but what action script would i put on a button to have the image gallery load up upon clicking that button?
View 1 RepliesBasically I am trying to make a VERY simple image viewer using a slider bar to navigate through the movie clip frames. I have been searching for hours for a nice simple tutorial or fla file but I cant find one. The movie clip currently has 8 frames each one an image, but it may have more or less.
I don't want to create movie clips inside movie clips; rather I have created a button which is fixed to slide along a 400px line. I would like to know what on earth I write to link the movement of the slider button to the frames in the movie clip... for example the first image would be displayed when the slider button is between 0 and 50 pixels of the line upon which it slides.
Everything is working properly except when i try to link a picture, and have set the imagelinkTarget value to _blank the link always navigates away from my site and does not open in a new window. I have tried all the values for the imageLinkTarget and nothing works.. Here is my code

i am downloading tiff images from WAMP server using our Flex AIR client. Using the following code for that.
public static function requestDownload(id:int, defaultName:String):void {
//POST params

No issues with the download. It automatically prompts for a Save dialog. Works well. But i want to open the image being downloaded in a viewer(flash viewer or any) instead of the save dialog.
I'm creating a picture viewer that dynamically loads the images from my site, and I'd like to be able to have flash determine how many images are in the folder when it runs. I know I could do this with an xml file, but I have a hunch that there's an easier way to script it.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an image viewer, with a next and previous button. The buttons work, but the problem is that when the button is clicked before the image runs its full course, it messes up the position of the image. eg. if the image is set to move 400px and the next button is clicked when the image is at 300px, it moves from the 300px mark and not the 400px mark causing part of the second image to show under the mask.
I need to somehow disable the button after it is clicked and then enable it once the image has moved the full course. Here is a snippet of my code

I have an image viewer which has both next and prev buttons and a thumbnail menu at the bottom. They are both loading images from the same array, I need to get them to talk to one another. For example: if I click one of the thumbs to take me to array4, then click the next button it will recognize array4 and go to array5. Right now the thumbnails don't send that information to the rest of the script.
