in flash there is a setting to 'allow smoothing' for images that are imported. how can i do this in AS3 so that the images i dynamically load are smoothed (because when i scale them they look bad).

I bought and installed a component and now the place I got it from is not giving support and their site has been pulled. The issues is that I can't figure out how to convert the loaded images into bitmaps in order to apply smoothing. Can someone look at the code in the attached .fla and give me a heads up as to where to add i
View 8 RepliesTrying to set the smoothing of a dynamically loaded, through XML, JPEG set to true using AS2. I've seen an example of that would do this with this code:
createEmptyMovieClip("myMC",getNextHighestDepth()) ;
loadBitmapSmoothed("mypic.jpg",myMC);
In my code I'm loading a series of products from an XML file. Each bit of information for each product gets loaded into a seprate array. I have a 'zoomy box' image, which loads an image, but at 200%, which I want to smooth...
The code:
nZoompic1[i] = (childs.childNodes[EEE].childNodes[i].childNodes[18].firstChild.nodeValue);
What the syntax would be for getting it to work?
as you surely know, setting a picture in your library to "allow smoothing" makes it high quality while resizing, rotating, etc with it on the scene.
Now I'd like to know how to set this to a picture you externally load while playing, cause obviously you can't set its parameter "allow smoothing" to true in the library, it'll never be in your library...
I found one thing that draws a bitmap, copies the pict, etc, but it's very slow at usage. I need something faster but the quality of the image must be perfect.
I want somehow to apply smoothing for all dynamically loaded PNGs in my flash file. I have flash file that loads a lot of different images, and there are a lot of flash files like that, so I don't have an option to set smoothing on every bitmap by hand.
I was wondering, if there's perhaps some way to change smoothing to all instances of Bitmap class.
I'm trying to make smoothing for images which loaded with loadclip(). I found function for smoothing and it works but only for movieclips located in _level0, for example _level0.mc, but I want to smooth children MC, for example _level0.parent_mc.children_mc and then image just disappears. Smoothing function:
here = this; // trace(here) == _level0
bg_smooth = function (bg):Void {
var bg_depth:Number = bg.getDepth();
var bg_name:String = bg._name;
var bg_parent = bg._parent;
[Code] .....
Also tried to write _level0.parent_mc['children_mc'] instead of parent_mc.children_mc and to make here == _level0.parent_mc - still no luck. If I remove bg_smooth (element) on load complete then all works fine but of course smoothing disabled.
I've done quite a bit of digging but it's surprisingly difficult to find informed answers to these questions. I'm making a Flash game with a friend; as far as we can tell, the code is fine, but there are some serious framerate problems that seem entirely related to the graphics.
Is there a performance difference between Movieclips as JPGs and PNGs? Most of our graphics are imported as PNGs because they have transparent sections, but I don't know whether there is a performance difference between setting image compression to JPG or PNG within Flash itselfDoes turning on "Smoothing" for an image affect performance?Obviously larger graphics have more of a performance hit, but is there any benefit to splitting a large image into pieces? Example, changing a 2000*1000 background into two 1000*1000 pieces? One thing is most of our graphics are as much as twice the size in the library as they are displayed onscreen, then scaled in the code. We had wanted to make the game still look good when zoomed in/fullscreened but that doesn't seem practical so I'm planning on resizing all of the image files to their final size in the game and removing the scaling code. Hopefully that's the major part of the problem.
Is there a way have smoothing = true on an image on the stage that isn't dynamically added.I know about "allow smoothing" .What I want to do is have the image smoothing = true when mouse is over the image so a tween event can occur. The reason I want to do it like this is because I don't like it when "allow smoothing'is ticked the image is blurred.
View 1 RepliesI have a loop which is trying to load a folder full of images into my scene, the images are going to be scaled to roughly 80% of their original size (they get scaled back to 100% so they need to stay at their current size) the loop will always get the right amount of images for the images in the folder so there isnt going to be any problems about it not not finding or loading pictures etcWhen i have tried doing it recently I have my loop load my images, once the image has finished loading it calls a function which takes the data and adds it to a bitmap, which is then smoothed. The problem seems to be it only adds one of the images to the stage when its done, does anyone know the specific way of adding a large amount of images to the stage, do you have to add all the images to a list and then run the bitmap smoothing on each item in the list?

I am new to Flash and am trying to make a page that has a fullscreen image gallery with individual thumbs along the bottom. I can more or less figure this out using some templates,but I need to do this for over 50 different projects, each with anywhere from 1-100 images.Is it possible to make more of a container that dynamically loads from a folder of images rather than have to make each one by hand?
View 1 RepliesI'm loading an external .jpg and moving it across stage.if I was to do this with a .jpg already in the Library, the movement would look much better if I manually activated "allow smoothing" from the .jpg's properties.so I'm trying to do the same for the loaded picture.what I've done so far is loading the picture, wait until it's completely loaded and then convert the content of the loader to bitmap and setting the smoothing property of this bitmap to true....OR, this is what I'm trying to do.here's my code:
Code:
var _loader:Loader;
var _loaderArray:Array = [];

I'm trying to create a color picker using getPixel. It works wonderfully as long as the image is loaded from a local drive. When I try loading it from the server (a subdirectory on the same server as the SWF), the loaded image doesn't get drawn when I use the draw command. It draws a white rectangle and when I use getPixel, I always get 0xFFFFFF. I also have system.Security.allowDomain("[URL]") in my script, but nothing works.

I'm building an image gallery which creates thumbnails by sizing down the original images and once you click on one of them it duplicates itself and displays on top with full scale. I searched the web and everybody say duplicating dynamically loaded image can not be done and only solution is to reload the image. And because they are cached when they were first loaded it shouldn't take much time to get loaded. Also I heard that there is way to force the browser to cathe the image...

I'm loading an image into an empty movie clip on the stage.
is there a way that if the user rolls over this image it will then increase in size (say from 50x50 to 75x75)?

My description for my problem(with layer numbers/names) starts from here: Layer-1: I am loading an external image(.jpeg) onto the stage dynamically when "Submit" button(which is created & placed in Layer1) is clicked using the following sample code:
[code]...
The jpeg image is loaded perfectly and works fine.
Layer-2:When I click on this loaded image, a Pop-up must be visible. So, I created Pop-up in Layer2, which is nothing but a MovieClip(with instance-name myPopup), is a rectangular box with light-yellow colored background, which makes us to feel like a pop-up). So, I created this Pop-up in a layer named "Pop-up". My requirement is : Whenever I click on the image loaded, I need to view the Pop-up upon this loaded image near to the pixel-position where CLICK_Event has occured.To view an example of my requirement,just go through the following [url]Once you open the above url, then you right-click on the right-side image(which is a geographical map). You can view a Pop-up with some of the items(viz., Directions from here, Directions to here, Zoom in, Zoom out & Center map here)
Layer-3:In the same way, in my application ,I want to display few hyperlinks on this pop-up. So, I had created TextFields on the stage(which are hyperlinks) using "Text Tool from ToolsBox" in Layer3 named as "TextFields". I am accessing these TextFields using
<TextField-instance>.htmlText to make it a hyperlink.So, here my problem is: After loading of the jpeg image, When I try to click on the image, the Pop-up(MovieClip) and "Submit" button appears to be under the loaded image and the TextFields are visible over the loaded image.Hence textfields/hyperlinks visibility works fine i.e., on the loaded image as hyperlinks.
Now, What I should do in order to make the MovieClip(Pop-up) and "Submit" button visible on the loaded image?

View 4 RepliesI have made a noticeboard that loads jpegs dynamically. Problem is that if I need to resize the noticeboard the jpegs are no longer smooth or even readable.I've already posted about using the new force smoothing in CS3 but it seems to have no effect.Here are the examples of the noticeboard at 100% and then resized.
Original size
Shrunk down
As you can see the notices degrade pretty quickly.Here is the actionscript that generates the notices:
Code:
myNv.sendAndLoad("noteboardread.php", myNv, "POST");
myNv.onLoad = function () {
var x:Number = 0;
[code].....
However, it still doesn't seem to be smoothing the jpegs - is there anything else that can be done to make these more readable.
I loaded a swf and placed it in a movieclip on the stage. When I try to make this image clickable nothing happens.
Here's my code:
Code:
var sprite = cHolder.addChild(ldr)
sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, displayCat);
If I attach a listener to the movieClip on the stage it works fine but I can't seem to get the image inside of the clip to work.
In my Flex application, I've got a component that extends UIComponent where I'm loading images at runtime and try to display them. I've tried lots of different approaches (using beginBitmapFill(), using different containers), but I can't get things to work as I want. The problem seems to be related to the width and height properties of the image, which aren't updated correctly.The idea is:
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(sprite);
var im:Image = new Image();[code].....
The image's width and height doesn't seem to be correct when it's loaded. I get width==0 (and nothing is displayed), but the property $width seems to be correct. How can I assure that width and height of the loaded image is updated?
Am struggling to find the right as3 code to resize an image once it is dynamically called into the stage and placed in a MC. I am loading using:
var myLoader :Loader = new Loader();
mc.addChild(myLoader);
var url :URLRequest = new URLRequest("myimage.jpg");
myLoader .load(url );
The stage will eventually open up into fullscreen (works ok) so I need to keep the image in its original size which is much bigger than the stage. What I need to do is shrink it on loading to the same height as the stage whilst keeping the width in proportion (oh and center it). I have tried all sorts of codes but cant find anything to work as all I have managed to do is resize the MC containing the image but NOT the image itself.
I need to add my images/icons dynamically at runtime to my Flex GUI due to licencing reasons. So how can I add a dynamically loaded icon to an Alert? I use the following function
