ActionScript 3.0 :: Slideshow Of Frequently Updated JPGs?
Feb 9, 2011
I am doing a project for an RSS feed company, and I just found out I need to make a few flash files to be played on a digital signage display. Since I don't know Action Script , I'm basically learning as I go.One file is stumping me. I need to make auto-playing, looping, slideshow that consists of a series of JPEGs. These Jpegs are called from the companies server, and since they are basically weather images that shows doppler radar, they will be updated several times a day.

I'm looking for a program that makes Flash slideshows without needing Flash experience, a nice drag-drop-like interface. The reason is I am making a website, where the top banner will be a rotating slideshow that the client will need to be able to update regularly. I've tried a variety of programs but run into the same issue: I need each slide in the show to have the photo on one side, with text on the other (much like the slideshow on [URL] page). But in most programs, the photo always takes up the entire slide and text can only go over the photo with very few formatting options.

In the attached file, for some reason, when the menus drop down, they frequently get hung up. (stay down, slow to move back up into the hidden position, etc.)

I'm working on a project which I want to build up OO. Now I came with a function that checks or a value is valid.
private function valid(value:*, acceptedValues:Array):Boolean {
for(var i:uint = 0; i < acceptedValues.length; i++) {
if (value == acceptedValues[i]) {
return true;
}}
return false;
}
As you can see, the function is very general and will be accessed across different classes. Now my question is; where do I store it in a OO correct way?

I'm running out of ideas on what I can do to fix this issue, so I'm coming here for assistance. For the past few weeks, I have been having ongoing issues with the Adobe Flash plugin crashing consistently. This happens on every flash playing website, including YouTube. I experience the following symptoms when playing flash video:Mozilla Firefox
- Sometimes the movie will start, and then I will get the flash plugin has crashed message and the option to send a crash report.
- Sometimes the movie won't start at all and I'm immediately presented with the crash.
- Refreshing the window sometimes will succeed, but again sometimes I get the crash immediately and other times I get it part way through the movie.
Internet Explorer:
- Whenever the plugin crashes, it actually crashes the entire tab of Internet Explorer. No refresh page fix for this one folks.
I have performed the following:
- Ensured that both Firefox and IE are updated... they are.
- Ensuring that the flash plugin is the most up to date version... it is.
- Uninstalled, and reinstalled the flash plugin from Add / Remove Programs
- Uninstalled Flash using the flash uninstaller from the website, and then installing ver 10.0... still crashed.
- Updating from 10.0 to 10.1... still crashed.
I don't recall installing anything additional on my computer besides Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Civilization V within recent months. I'm running Windows 7 Professional which is constantly up to date, and the protection I have on here is Microsoft Security Essentials. I can't think of any application that would interfere with Flash enough to crash it.

I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.

We can swap depths of movie clips... ok....what about JPGs? I have an empty MC where I want to load images from an array and then starts swapping thier depths.Here is the script I use for loading them and the script I wans hoping will work for swapping thier depths:
onClipEvent (load){
var image_arr = new Array "1.jpg","2.jpg","3.jpg"....,"7.jpg");
for (var i=0;i<image_arr.length;i++)[code].............
How would I swap the depth of image 6 (image_arr[5].) and have it come to the surface?

That was supposed to be my first preloader dealing with an XML file and external jpgs ... searched the forum, found something that looked/sounded like it would work, tried to adapt it to my particular situation and ... (surprise!) ... it doesn't work. Let me add at this point that I'd consider myself a "very casual" ActionScripter (if there is such a thing), meaning that most of the time, I try to learn as I go along, without any *real* background knowledge. Here's my situation - methinks it's rather straightforward: SWF file (project.swf), XML file (config.xml) and a bunch of jpgs all in the same directory - nothing exotic so far. Here's the AS I (try to) use in my SWF file to load the xml and the imgs therein:

I'm currently making a xml driven photo gallery. The first stage is loading in the thumbnails, each thumbnail will preload individually. I pretty close to acheiving this except my current script only loads in the first jpeg. I have tried everything and I jsut can't find a problem. Anyway my code is below if anyone gets a chance to look. Sorry its a bit hefty. I think the problem is with the ThumbLoadingEnterFrame and LoadNextThumb functions.
PHP Code:
count = 0;
var thumbImage = new Array();
var thumbClip = new Array();
var jpegImage = new Array();

I am drawing a cellular automaton simulation on a Flex Canvas. I alternate computing the state of the automaton with updating the graphics on the Panel. However, the updating of the Panel does not seem to be "keeping up" with the update of the CA state.
I'm wondering whether I am doing something wrong with my handling of the graphics code. The code is below. Sorry it's so lengthy, but I don't think the problem will happen with anything simpler (well, it probably will, but I'm not certain I want to take the time to find it).

does anybody maybe know how to track/trace the current position of a sound file while it is playing?
So that it is updated every frame or second?
I figured something with trace(sound.position) onEnterFrame, but didn't succeed in realizing this yet.

Right off the bat, with the few new things that I've messed around with so far, I haven't really run into much in FP 10.1 that's both interesting and working with my particular setup. Examples: Originally Posted by FP 10.1 Release Notes The Global error handler is disabled in the current build, but will be available in a future beta refresh of Flash Player 10.1 Gee, I guess I won't be testing that. The classes do exist in the player, but it looks like loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents is null for the release that we got.

At my job I frequently have to create Flash banners for major newspaper's websites. The specs that usually come in require a max file size of 30k or so. Usually my art department will hand me 3 or 4 screens that they want to simply move through in a loop. No biggie, until they start adding images to the files.
When I complain to them that the images are making the file sizes too big I am usually queried as to how other advertisers on these sites have full video in their ads. I understand that there are pre-loaders as well as allowed larger file sizes if you pay more for the ads.
getting image sizes down in Flash so that the images don't end up looking horrible?

I'm setting up an online picture gallery. I'm trying to make it easy for the client to insert specific images, dynamically loaded, have them appear at 63 percent. If the user clicks on one, it enlarges to 100 percent. Trouble is, when the image is at 63 percent, it is not smooth and looks terrible,All the BitmapData class solutions posted online work for individual images. But I can't figure out how to automate the process in a for loop. At this point I'm not even worrying about the enlarging. I just want the images to load at 63 percent and look smooth.Below is the code for two images. Later I'll increase this to 25.
On the stage are two colored rectangle movie clips: toon1 and toon2. I want the dynamically loaded jpegs to load inside them. The client will manually edit the last lines whenever she feels like it, to choose which images to load.What I need is an elegant AS2 solution in which any dynamically loaded jpeg will be smoothed.
for (i=1; i<=2; i++) { this["toon"+i].createEmptyMovieClip("cartoon",this.getNextHighestDept h()); this["toon"+i].cartoon._xscale = this["toon"+i].cartoon._yscale=63;

I'm trying to go through a for loop, create a movieclip for each database entry, add the image by url stored. The problem is the code I have only does the last image. I know it's because something is not incrementing and they all have the same name. Do I need to increment the name of my loader?[code]...
