ActionScript 3.0 :: Unloading Image In Loader On Thumb Click
May 2, 2010
I found some code to create an XML based Flash gallery (I have lots of XML experience, not so much flash!) and modified it some to make the images show up exactly where I want them to on the stage. The problem I can't figure out is how to make the current image unload and the thumb that is clicked on load. Right now, the images just stack up on top of one another. I've searched all over to find a solution, but so far nothing I tried has worked. I haven't even gotten around to adding tweens to the gallery yet!
The thumbs load on a grid and when I click on the thumb they load in the loader. Now I am having trouble removing them. The tutorial has the remove function on the loaded large image so when you click that it removes itself. I would like so that when you click on the a thumb the current image will unload and the thumb that is clicked on will load but can't figure out how to get it to do that. I figured I'd just add a CLICK listener for the "removeFull" function to the "callFull" function but I think it cancels itself out.
Here is the code I am using: (the code to load and unload is toward the bottom)
Code:
var columns:Number = 2; var my_x:Number = 25; var my_y:Number = 75; var my_thumb_width:Number = 65;
Using a bunch of the tutorials on this great site, I've been teaching myself AS, and inparticular the XML parse, etc. with the loop commands to load an ideterminate number of images, etc. attributed in an XML file.I've got the attached code to work before - and it works well here too, loading all the thumbnails in their correct location, and as per the XML file. BUT now it's part of this page, the 'current_thumb' seems stuck on the last thumbnail, and a rollOver of any thumbnail will cause only the last one to action. In addition, when I put the trace command in on the onRollOut function (trace(current_thumb_mc) I get "_level0.menu_mc.item3_mc" no matter which of the four tumbnails I rollOver.

I'm creating a moodboard application where the user can dynamically load an image onto the stage by pressing a thumb of the image in a menu item. I have most of that working but what I would like to know is that, if there is a way the user can interactively scale/transform the image when it is on the stage in the swf file?
I am having some problem removing a null object and I realise that I have not been unloading my swf's properly. Could someone take a look at what I have been doing and tell me what I can do to make it better. I am putting my website in an exhibiton of my design work and if it lagged up due to all the clicking it would suck!
Code:
aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutLoad); function aboutLoad(e:MouseEvent):void { ldr.unload();

after fighting for 3 days to get my code to work properly i found out that there is a bug in flash player nine & ten.It cant remove a loaded swf 100% if you use unload();Then again you can use unloadAndStop(); but this also is not working 100% meaning removing everything from the loaded or loading swf.unloadAndStop() is a much better solution than using unLoad(); in my case, but still if i click on a button while my swf is loading and that button has for function to unloadAndStop the swf it will not remove it completely and throw me an error Error #2036.my website still works but it could be working much better and opens the door to errors while people visit my website.im fixing these error and what not by methods that i think should not be there in the first place.
I'm currently working on a application that displays a webcam picture stream, so what I do is read a image repeatedly from a url and for this I use the loader object, the problem is that when I tested this the browser started to take RAM until it frozen.I used unload() and dispose() but they only hide the image, it still takes memory.This is the image class I made:
Before i lay down the problems, allow me to present the flow of my files.My flash app starts with index.swf. On load, index.swf automatically loads preloader.swf. The preloader.swf then loads main.swf by a button-click.
Part of my UNI degree is covering AS3 and I'm having to build a game using Flash.
I have hit a problem trying to load a new SWF after unloading the current one that is auto loaded at runtime using the loader. I have a button in the 1st SWF that unloads the current one successfully but I'd now also like to get that same button to load up an alternative one.
My host file has the following code:
import flash.display.Loader; var startGame:Loader = new Loader (); addChild ( startGame ); startGame.load ( new URLRequest ("interface.swf"));
My loaded SWF ("interface.swf") has the following code to unload it when required using the button:
function closeInterface(e:MouseEvent):void { MovieClip(parent.parent.parent).startGame.unloadAn dStop(); }
I have a master swf that uses Loader to load in an external swf. I need to load a back button on top of that stack as a separate Child - and I have code in that loaded Child that needs to Unload the Loader-Loaded swf, unload the Buttons, and move the main timeline to another frame.
im working on an image viewer and im loading an image to a loader and then add the loader to the stage.I want the user to be able to drag and drop the image but since it's a loader i dont know how to do it. I tried
I'm using Loader::load() successfully to load swfs into my main swf and then I add them as a child of a Sprite. When other events occur I want to remove the swfs as needed. I have looked at unload() and at removeChildAt() without success.
I only added the addChild() call to try to pin down the loaded instance so I could remove it. The loading works fine without the addChild();
I have also tried publishing to player v.10 and using myLoader.unloadAndStop(); but this has no effect either;
The following demo code shows my problem. I see one child added and one removed but intro.swf is still playing away.
What I want to accomplish is to have a up and down scroll w/ thumb images. Once you press on a image the thumb gets bigger and have the option to close the big image and back to all the thumbs..
looking for a script that loads 6 logo image thumbs into a grid (randomly from folder), with each thumb having a rollover image and link.. Basically the logo area on this page : I have about 30 client logos in greyscale ( and colour version for rollover), and need to randomly load 6 logos at a time (or random individually) on a timer. oN RollOver. loads colour version of logo with link node in XML Something like...
I'm having an issue with using a hitTest to make a thumb menu from an image gallery I'm working with move up and down. Basically I need to use a hitTest because there is a conflict with the other rollover functions in the menu itself that prevents me from using a simple onRollOver function. All I want to do is hide the menu until the mouse rolls over it then I want it to pop up then on roll out hide itself again. The gallery is part of a larger site that loads the gallery into the index page and has a full screen function so it needs to stay at the absolute bottom of the page just above the footer at all times. Here is the code I'm working with but think I'm over complicating it.
I'm all done working on my gallery for my website.I have one last question: Now that I have a working thumb gallery, when I look at my scene there is no main image that pops up until you click on one of the thumbs.Is there a simple action script I can add so that when the person opens or load the page the very first image of my thumbs can pop up automatically?
I am trying to create a picture gallery.. I can arrange the thumbs in the screen and when I click to one of them, it shows the bigger picture. But the problem is, I want the thumb to do something when the mouse is over it.
When I use that tweenmax.to(this.....) part, all the thumbs act like one. I tried to change this to thumbs but I didn't work. How to convert all the thumbs to an individual image?
i'm using a XML file fromwhich i load thumbnails and images into Photo Gallery.[code]The problem is all thumbnails acting as buttons even the empty thumb which hasn't image_path in XML?!
I'am developing a Custom Player for SWF's,...the SWF's are loaded externally.I've added functionality so as to load next SWf if next_btn is clicked and previous sef if prev_btn is clicked.Now, whats happening is that, the sound of the loaded swf is still playing in the background if another swf is loaded along with the loaded swf's sound.I'am thinking that if I'am able to remove the loaded swf and then load the next swf, then this problem will be solved,...I just don't know how to unload it.My code so far is...
var Xpos:Number = 0.0; var Ypos:Number = 0.0; var swf:MovieClip;
I have a movieclip that I load images into. Some of the images are png's and are transparent in spots. when I load them the old image still shows underneath it. it never went away. I thought when you load a new image in the same MC it replaced the old one, not covered it only. So is it easy to keep the old image in place until ready to load the new one? Do I clear the loader class or the MC? How?
How would I make an image I load using AS3's loader class into a button with an event handler on it? Below is what I have started. And below that is my error I get when I click the message.
AS:
//call function that starts loading my image callButtons(); function callButtons():void {
[code]....
the error I am getting when I click the spanish.png on the stage is: ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on MyVideoPlayer_CS4_fla::MainTimeline/playSpanish(). Expected 0, got 1.I NEEDED TO ADDED evt:MouseEvent
I have this piece of code to change images. I was trying to figure out how you could put a timer on the code, so if the image has been displayed for say 5 seconds it diverts to the next image automatically? Also if it's not to hard, when it has played to the end to divert to the 1st image.
[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.
I would like to know how to make it so when you click a button, it goes to a different frame within a MOVIE CLIP. Kind of like gotoAndPlay but not a frame in the timeline. I would like it to move to a different frame in a movie clip.
