ActionScript 3.0 :: Reuse Code From 'Loading An External Image' Tutorial?
Mar 29, 2012
I'm designing a portfolio website that will showcase artwork that could potentially take awhile to load, so I'm using the code from that tutorial:
[Code]...
I'm using one of these, one image, per frame. I'll be adding more and more in the future. I'm still a newbie to as3 and I haven't completely understood the basics yet, so my question is this: how do I reuse the above code for a different frame without having to paste the entire thing with different names? I tried this:

I am trying to replace some code which loaded an external image and triggered and function once completed with code that uses and embedded image. The relevant code looks like this.
Code:
[Embed(source='globe.png')]
public function Globe()
{
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The commented out section is where it used to take the loaded image and apply it to a texturemap.I need to replace the lines of code in the first function with something that calls the second function correctly.
I have tried using function imageLoadComplete (e:Event = null)and calling it with imageLoadComplete(); in the first function but although it compile and runs without error, the program does not work properly. I suspect this is to do with the dispatchEvent(); line which I do not understand.

i've read a tutorial about passing variables to HTML. But this tutorial isnt clear for me.. [URL] EXAMPLE 1 Using Query String to Maximize Code Reuse I really dont have an idea what to do inside flash, bec the author only said: Quote: Assuming the image filename is image1.jpg, located at a folder named images. And assuming that the Flash movie will use a variable named imageFilename to refer to the file, then we can do this
How do I do that? Like having a empty movie clip and giving an instance name of imageFilename?

I have one SWF file that I want to reuse and I want to load external XML files with it, is it possible to do something like this in the HTML:
Code:
<EMBED src="mymovie.swf?myFile=text1.xml" ...
then in the actionscript, get the file with something like this:
Code:
xmlData.load(myFile);
then reuse the same SWF on different HTML pages, ex:
Code:
<EMBED src="mymovie.swf?file=text2.xml" ...
Is this possible?

I'm displaying an external image in Flash with the loader object, and then addchild() and that whole thing. Im wondering how, if possible, I could then add that same child to another movie clip. So far, when i do, it doesn't show up in the original movie clip anymore. Is there a way for me to display an image twice by pulling it from the same source like you would do with html,css?

i'm trying to hardcode a complicated looping movement of an mc on the stage. the way i plan to deal with it is first, to use a guide layer to actually tell the mc where to go, and then save at runtime the sequence of position (x/y coordinates) the mc goes to to follow the movement. With this set of coordinates, i will reproduce the movement via actionscript instead of guiding.
how i can output those variables into an external txt file from flash at runtime ?

I have a vary simple code for loading an image. The code is working fine when I compile the swf file in flash or when I publish it in html. The problem is when i start the swf file out of Flash or publish in AIR - then Event.COMPLETE desn't trigger. Here is the code:
var imageLoader:Loader;
function loadImage(url:String):void

I've got a file that loads 4 external swf files. I've got everything correct as far as how it's listening for when each one is finished loading and then the next one knows to play. So I can get each one to play right after the other just fine. My problem is that they don't all have the same number of frames so in between the movies, there's a blip of a previous movie showing up (atleast I think it's due to varied movie length). I want to put in a removeChild function when it's listening for each movie to finish loading. But when I put in: removeChild(myLoader);, it says myLoader is undefined..
Code:
var a:Array = new Array("movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf", "movie4.swf");
var iArray:Number = a.length; // number of movies
var iCount:Number = 0;
function manageMovies(){
loadMovie(a[0])
}

I really hate when you read a tutorial from some "expert" and what it tells you to do is wrong. I was doing a tutorial for a XML slide show, and the last line of code doesn't work quite right:

For some reason that only sends the my_playback_counter to 1. And it just sits there twitching. So when I tried to change the tutorial code to:

I have followed the guide at this link to create a matrix code effect. The matrix code font file is available to download from this site also (mCode15). Once I get this file up and running and understand how it works, I'm going to tweak it somewhat to suit my needs.
Iam, however, experiencing some problems getting it to work as described in the tutorial. I have followed the tutorial to the letter, but when the flash movie file runs, only the glyph symbol that I used to create the_one and one_pod movie symbols is displayed in the code that scrolls down screen. I have embedded the font the way it describes and even added it to the library and set it to export for actionscript using the linkage option. But the matrix code that rains down is still only one symbol which never changes.

I currently have two files one that is the model gallery and it works great standalone. I also have another file that loads the first file. When I load the first file into the main one the first image loads but I cannot change the image after that. First file is AS2 and second is AS3Here is the AS for the first file

So I have this slideshow, meant to just cycle through 50 or so images, loading each up for a few seconds before it goes away. It obtains the information for the images from a database.For all my testing, it works as it should in IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari on Windows.Yet I'm repeatedly told by someone that it does not work at all on Safari on Mac, but instead just forever shows the loading movieclip I have in.Sadly, I don't have a Mac and I don't know anyone, save for this person, who owns one, thus I'm unsure what is going on, let alone how to solve it.You can view it there. I'm just at a loss for why it's having issues. Is it just a single case, or is it Safari on Mac in general, or perhaps Mac itself in general?

I've tried loadMovie("exampledomain/sampleimagefilename", obj.mc); where "obj" is an object of a class who has a MovieClip variable "mc", and then using _root.attachMovie(obj.mc,"testInstanceName", _root.getNextHighestDepth()); to add it to the stage.That didn't produce any visual results whatsoever. To ensure the URL was being loaded properly, I changed loadMovie to _root.loadMovie, in which case the image was loaded (but, of course, replaced my entire Flash movie).

I am having problems loading an extenal jpg in the same folder as my__site file into flash 5 into a draggable mc called 'draggable'. I can create a draggable mc called 'draggable'. Within that I have another mc called 'slide' (what I will want the external jpg to load into) on a seperate layer from the graphics that make up the draggable window. Everything works up to this point. Do I give the mc 'slide' an action to load the external jpg? or the layer 'slide' is in? I have been puzzling over the right code to write to get the external jpeg 'CH1_1.jpg' to load into the mc 'slide'

I am trying to load an external .swf (actually it is only an image that I published as a swf file, not a complicated movie) but I get errors. I am trying to load the .swf into a movieclip and the movieclip appears on the stage. I have put the code in frame 1 where the image should appear (in the movieclip). The code that I used is below and works fine with a .jpg and when I load it directly on the stage, that is to say, when I put the code in a frame on the stage. Why does it not 'work' right now?
I have added 'parent' in 'parent.event.target.content.y = 200;' in the first frame of the movieclip timeline, to make sure that it will appear on the (main)stage. The error that i get is this one:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at galerie2010_fla::mcBallon1_11/frame1()
This is the code in frame 1 in mcBallon1:
var imageRequest1a:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/SWFoverig/ballon1_702x368.swf");
var imageLoader1a:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader1a.load(imageRequest1a);
addChild(imageLoader1a);
imageLoader1a.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1a);
function onComplete1a(event:Event):void{
parent.event.target.content.y = 200;
parent.event.target.content.x = 205;}
