I'm new to Flash, but through some research I've found that I can use the UILoader component to load images from a URL. This works fine.I am having problems, though, with the scaleContent property. I have a UILoader component on the satge with an instance name of MainImage. Then I have a code similar to this in AS3:
Code:
MainImage.load(new URLRequest("IMAGE_URL_HERE"));
MainImage.width=800;
[code]......
Having another problem I dont understand. What am I doing wrong? How am I suppose to define theses properties?
1119: Access of possibly undefined property scaleContent through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.1119: Access of possibly undefined property maintainAspectRatio through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.
I have a TileList that loads its images from an XML, not all the images are the same size so they do not llook consistent wiyh the TileList.So i want the TileList to Scale the images it gets from the XML.

I'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to add one more layer of polish on a UILoader. Upon clicking, the UILoader loads an image with a little animation, that's great. However, before the new image loads, the other image simply disappears instantly.
What I can't figure out is how to fade that image out BEFORE the next image loads - creating a more seamless transition. Here's the code so far:

I looked at some other posts about "unloading the UILoader" and didn't look like anyone had found the ultimate answer. I came up with my own solution which is usin the following (where sectionLoader is the instance name of UILoader): Actionscript Code:sectionLoader.source = null;have no idea if this is the correct way to do this but it seems to work great!I'd love feedback on it and advice on a better way if there is one.AND I have another unresolved issue which is that I want to have the external swf fade out when it unloads. Is that possible? Would I use a Tween class and if so apply it to the UILoader, or to the swf itself, or...?Here is the code I have, including the button (nav_btn) that loads the UILoader with the external swf, plus adds a "close button" via addChild. Then the function is added to the close button to unload the UILoader (by making the source = null):
Actionscript Code:
//add load functions to nav button...nav_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadSection);function loadSection(evt:MouseEvent):void { sectionLoader.source =

I have opted to use the UILoader component to load external .swf's of my images. The problems I am running into are that: one, the UIloader does not seem to be loading at all some of the time
and two, I cannot have a UILoader that is larger than the dimensions I am loading the image into.
For the first problem, is there a way to put a progress bar that specifically targets the UIloader so I can make sure that it is actually loading? I've been looking for a tutorial for this, but have yet to find one that explains the code and what it does, making it difficult to customize.
For the second problem, is there any workaround for this, or are the dimensions of the loaded .swf limited to the dimensions of the base .swf?
I have to dynamically load an image in 2 separate places, but I don't want to have to load the same image twice (this consumes more bandwidth and makes the user wait longer than needed).Is there a way to, say, copy the contents of a UILoader into the contents of another? I am aware that flash performs caching, but I still see a slight loading delay on subsequent reloads.I am using as3, btw, on flash cs5.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to control the alignment of images loaded into a UILoader ? My images are loaded in via XML. Most are are the size of the UILoader dimensions 960 x 482, but there are a handful which are portrait format and these are being aligned to the top left of the UILoader. I would like to center these instead.

my UILoader won't allways load its image.I named it "imagem".The source string comes from the button´s label.The click function loads simultaneously 3 UILoaders (imagem, imagem_prev and imagem_next and one caption (legenda) consisting of a simple string.Every now and then it doesn´t properly load the images.I have pasted the function for the click EventListener bellow.
function abrir_obra(e:MouseEvent):void{ var theContent:String = e.currentTarget.name var contentArray:Array = theContent.split("_"); index2=contentArray[2]; var alvo:String = e.target.text; var st:String=myArr1[1];
