was just trying to make my site more efficient when its online. I have an image/video gallery. When the thumbnail is clicked, an image or video will be displayed in the container I have. Currently, the code is like
[Code]...
And if so, will it be in the cache or anything when it is loaded again within the click event?
This has to be simple, if only I knew how. I'm an AS3 newbie, and am having difficulty setting up multiple specific EventListeners within a code generated display object container.
I am generating a 'page' (Sprite) with a heap of 'cards' (Sprites) on it. Each of those cards, in turn, contains a selection of text boxes and other objects generated from database output using a 'for' loop. My hope is to attach an EventListener to each 'card' so that a MouseEvent will let me manipulate the data that lead to the content of that actual card (the i-th iteration of my for loop). I've been playing with everything I can think of (limited repertoire of thoughts though) and the best I've managed is for my EventListener to access the final set of data, whichever 'card' I click on. I've summarised and attached my code for the function, how to get back to the i-set of data from the EventListener attached to the i-th card. I can handle the PHP and MySQL side of things but am fumbling my way into the OOP of AS3.
I want to know how(and what scripts) to take words from a text input box and cause it to display and image Ex: if the text box said "smiley face" in it, then the image "smiley_face.jpg" would display on a certain movieclip and can be dragged around the stage and when a new image is loaded, it doesn't replace the previous image on the movie clip.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible in flash to get a specific frame in a flv video as a bitmap or an image.?

View 4 Repliesi have an video player in flash, now need to show the image on that player like an advertisement or logo.
when i place a movie clip or any image on my video player object, player stops working.i need to know which plugin is required or how to write our own code for the same, incase plugin is needed for that.
can I resize a display object (container) without its contents (children) are resized?
For example, in the following code when I resize the green square, red is also resized. I wanted to resize only the green.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000);

I've been using the "Reusable Preloader Using MovieClipLoader" from the tutorial section of this site.The only difference is that i don't use'm for preloading jpg. I load external swf files containing video. Everything works fine so far. The only problem is that the preloaded video already starts playing while preloading (at about 30%), but without showing the video.This is the code i have so far:
Code:
bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100");[code].....
I'm having a problem preloading xml loaded content. I'm using the usual this.getbytesloaded at the start of my timeline. The problem is this is getting the total bytes for the container swf before the xml has loaded up all the images and content so my preloader is running short.
View 2 RepliesMy flash site is comprised of about 10 to 12 dynamically loaded external images, which are declared as Loader class instances, loaded, then placed on the stage. I set up a basic external pre-loader but just as I suspected it would, the pre-loader loads the swf of my main site but when the swf is loaded the external dynamic content of the main site still has to be loaded. How can I go about preloading dynamic content? Because what I want is all the assets that make up the site to be there and loaded, when the pre-loader is done.
View 2 RepliesI'm building an XML driven flash site and am trying to figure out the best way to structure it. I have one XML file which holds all the data for 4 sections. As the site design is really simple and stays the same across the site, i think it's probably best to keep it all housed within one SWF, using MCs for each section.
The only thing is i'm not sure how this will work with displaying the content from the XML, preloading etc. Ideally i'd like it so the content is only loaded when it's requested, rather than all at once. (there will be lots of images, videos.. etc). Would i need to structure it differently for this to happen? Such as using an XML file for each section, and/or an external SWF for each section? Or is it possible to only load parts of the XML data when needed?
The flash portion of my site is just the navigation bar. here is a link so you can see what it looks like for an easier time helping solve my problem: As you can see text loads into dynamic text boxes when the user rolls his/her mouse over that little upright rectagle, there will be many of those rectangles once i have my site done but for now, im just testing things out.
here is the current code applied to my Rectangle Nav Button:
// This is the state where rollover text displays in those beveled boxes
on (rollOver) {
ordernum = "0001";
title = "Change is the only constant - 1600x1200";
[code].....
What this code does is when the user rolls his/her mouse over, text loads into the dynamic text boxes, and when the user releases his/her mouse on the button the jpg "Ug.jpg" loads. However this is not the effect i am after. I want to have a preloader off to the side somewhere on the flash portion of my site, and when the user mouse overs a nav bar button, the text in the dynamic text boxes gets lighter, and when the user rolls his/her mouse out, the text goes back to normal. I also want it so when the User Releases on a nav bar button the pre-loader off to the side loads the image, sound, or movie and then that image/ sound/ movie displays in a HTML portion of my site right below the Flash portion.
How do you preload dynamic classes which loads its own content? cause theoretically speaking the classes doesn't have a size yet until it loads its content right?
View 1 RepliesI am loaded images into a container that is being displayed on a map. I've created a string of my images names and am looping a loader to load each image and add them to the container.
var overlays=["compsmall.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall4.png"]
var overlay_container:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
function calloverlays():void
[Code]....
Once all of my images are loaded into the container overaly_container how can I call on a specific child of the container? For example how can I call on compsmall2.png once its been loaded into overlay_container?
I place these images onto a map by placing the whole container at the correct location. I then turn layers on/off by adding and removing the children within the container. This is why I'd like to specify a specific object in the parent.

I was just wondering...when it comes to using XML to display data in Flash, is it necessary to have to preload the XML doc's? I would imagine they wouldn't be very large, so I would think XML would just pop right in, or am I wrong?
View 2 RepliesI've got index.swf which is the file with the container. main.swf is the file to be loaded onto index.swf.I can't get my main to load into the container automatically at a specific time. When I click on the button the animation plays perfectly though.Maybe because loadMovie is unable to load over index.swf?I haven't inserted code for any of the other buttons yet though. I want to be sure I can make this work before I start doing everything else. I think it shouldn't matter though cause its only meant to load at a specific time.
View 4 RepliesI`Ve hijacked this .fla and tried to modify it by loading external content into the container. For some reason the loaded content is getting messes up when loaded..
View 1 RepliesI have made a custom class which extends Sprite. This class is a vertical long rectangle with different contents inside. I used a mask in order to show only a part of this vertical "rectangle" (let's call it this way for clarity). Just at its side there's a scroll bar which has to deal with the scroll (up and down) of all this rectangle along its mask.
The problem is that I don't know how to set up the scrollbar in order to get it all working. I've made a function to set it up:
[Code]...
The scroll bar appears where I wanted, it's fully operative, but still it doesn't scroll up/down the container. From this point on, I don't know what to do in order to displace the container upwards/downwards at the same time the slider is displaced. Is there any Actionscript method to do that? If not, what is the formula?
I'm extending a Panel to build a custom component. Without knowing what this will contain later, how can I add a method to temporarily hide all contents and displaying an internal object (which is normally invisible) instead?
[Code]...
I am making a full flash site in which one container clip on the main timeline loads all the pages. I want to place a tween on this container so that once the content loads it animates as it enters. Code below.

How do I get the size of the content area of Container objects? One non generic solution is checking for styles I suppose but I am looking for some code that works generic for all standard flex Container objects. The controls are Flex 3
View 1 RepliesI want to have an swf load an image file in an image container within the swf from the querystring. 1. In the query string I'd like the extension of the image file to not show:
2. In the swf I might have more then one place where the same howdy.jpg loads, but in different sizes. Which method would keep the aspect ratio of original and resize to fit varying container sizes?
3. I have some javascript parsing code with an swf example that I got from this page. [URL] But when I tried to alter the fla for my use it didn't work. I wasn't able to find 1 line of actionscript in the query.fla.

View 1 RepliesI have an application that has multiple concurrent netstreams going on in the background that are basically preload videos behind the scenes. From time to time, I need to give preference to one of the streams over the other, so I want to pause the preloading of all but one stream.
The only way, theoretically, that I could think of to do it is to set the maxPauseBufferTime to a very low number (say 0.1) and then pause the video. All of the preloading netstreams are already paused, so I don't know what it takes to make this kick in. I thought maybe doing resume/pause back to back would trigger the max buffer to kick in, and have it stop preloading, but it doesn't seem to be working.
No matter what I've tried, it continues to load the video. I've also set bufferTimeMax to 0, but still no luck. Does anyone know a way to prevent a netstream from buffering further until I'm ready for it to start back up?
I've made a video class that holds a video. I want to be able to create an instance of this class, give it a video to preload, check if its all preloaded, then start playing it.Currently the only way i can find to start it preloading is to call 'ns.play()', however this starts the video actually playing.Is it netstream that i should actually be using here?
