ActionScript 3.0 :: Bitmaps Loading An Image And Tracing The Result After The Loader Completes
Dec 12, 2009
I'm trying to clone / duplicate an object loaded in at runtime via the
--
ldr = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(targetFile);
--
technique. The problem I think I'm having, is in understanding what exactly the loader returns and how it can be used. after loading an image and tracing the result after the loader completes like this ...
trace(ldr.content); // - traces [object Bitmap]
I have a fuction I built that returns an arrar of clones / duplicates of a passed bitmap ...

I have my .fla file and .swf file in a folder on my desktop
i want to add to that file a bitmap. everytime my flash project receives a the String "loadBITMAP" i want it to reload that bitmap into a designated area on the stage. (i am using a system of binary sockets to recieve data, but don't worry about that...i know how to process that already.) so basically my code will say
Code:
if(socket.readUTFBytes="loadBitmap"){
need code here on how to load bitmap

I have no experience with Object Oriented Programming, so I wonder about the following:
1) Will the code past the .LOAD line (in red) be executed only after the image completes loading?
2) Can I nest several listeners as seeing in my code below?

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
imageLoader.startDrag = true;
imageLoader.content.startDrag = true;

I have the following code which simply loads an external swf, puts it in the right place and should all be hunky dory.This works:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("foobar.swf");[code].....
to set the dimensions of the loader so the external swf doesn't 'spill over', the result is a blank screen. No matter how high I set those dimensions it just doesn't display anything.

[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 need to create a gallery to load images and display them. This part is fine:
/**
* @variable image_name to store the name of the selected item
*/
private function showimage(evt:Event):void
[Code].....
where imgMain is the id the image component.
But, I need a small twist. A transition image i.e. loading image should be displayed while the the image is being loaded.

I coded a dynamic SWF player that loads Movie containing SWFs at random (and that part works fine). But what I dont know how to do, or if it is even possible to do, is to have the next movie SWF load after the first movie SWF is completed playing it's movie all the way through.
I guess what I'm asking is, is there anyway in AS3 to add an Event Listener to the SWF so that is executes the needed function after the movie in the SWF has finished playing??
because I'm not sure how to do this, I have found a workaround by adding a Timer to the functions that actually load (addChild(movie1) the SWFs, the timer counts the exact time it takes the movie in the SWF to finish to then load the nest SWF. The problem with this work around is that if the SWF has a player component and someone actually pauses the movie the Timer will still execute the function in the specified Time given.
"I have not finished the Switch1 & 2 functions so just ignore them"
// Setting variable to act as a random Number//
var Random:Number = Math.random();
// Setting variables for the Timer Class //
var myTimer1:Timer = new Timer(63500, 1);

I've tried adding this loader as a child of several different sprites but it only ends up in one of the sprites (must be removing from the other sprites display list automatically).How can I duplicate that image in the loader into multiple sprites?e.g. (note don't worry about making sure the icon is loaded, pretend I wanted to Event.COMPLETE before adding to
var icon:Loader = new Loader();
icon.load(new URLRequest('image.png'));
var iconA:Sprite = new Sprite();

I'm trying to load images using the loader class but it doesn't seem to ever trigger the complete event (in this case anyway). The images are only 16x16px images from the local machine, so it should take no time at all to load. I use the totalImages variable as a counter; as an image is loaded, it subtracts 1 from it. Once it is 0, all images are loaded. I can create an instance and it goes as far as tracing "Begin loading images", but that's it. No errors in the console either.
PHP Code:
package lib{
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Frame extends Bitmap{

I have an external preloader that plays music while the main swf is loading. Everything works fine but it sounds a little abrupt when the music just stops as soon as the swf is loaded. Is there a way to start fading out the music when the progress bar gets to, say, 80%, so that by the time the main swf opens, the music is completely faded out?

I am developing a Image uploader using Flash 10. I am using Filereference object to browse images and Loader to show the image:
Sample code:
var tempFileRef:FileReference = FileReference(ev.target);
var oLoader:Loader = new Loader();
oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoad);
oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
oLoader.loadBytes(tempFileRef.data);
It works fine with .jpg and .gif files but when I browse .bmp or .tiff file, I am getting the error:
Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Is there a way to load and display browsed .bmp images from desktop?

I am loading 5 images using "for loop" and I have created the listener and if the images completes the loading, the function is called. Now, I need is the name of the "image" which is loaded on each five images gets completed.
[Code]...
in the output it is throwing as "[object LoaderInfo]". Now i need is the name of the "Image", inside the thumbnail_load function, that means, which image loading is completed.

I'm trying to get smoother steps in checking the ProgressEvent when loading the image to the Loader.At this moment my eventrogressEvent checks the progress aprox twice within a second. Is there any way to make it check constantly (or more often), so the progres bar "grows" smoothly instead of "jumping"?

I have a loop within a loop as you can see below. I am trying to trace the images so that each one comes up:
video0
video1
video2
video3 (etc. - there are a total of 9 images indicating videos).
But the way that I have it tracing right now does not bring up the names as I want them. You will probably be able to see why after looking at the code below.
Here is my loop:
[AS]
for (var i=0; i<rows; i++) {
for (var j=0; j<columns; j++) {
imageHolder = new MovieClip;
imageHolder.x = leftMargin + j * imageWidth * marginX;
imageHolder.y = 290 + i * imageHeight * marginY;
[Code] .....
I tried different ways of doing it such as putting a trace in the second loop.

I downloaded an image from the web and brought it into Flash. I then created a new layer and began tracing over the image with the pen tool. When all was said and done, I went to use the paint bucket tool to fill in the sections of the paths I created. My only problem is I can't fill the image. I click and click and no color is being filled. I tried converting the selection to both movie clip and graphic symbols and I still can't fill it in.

Ok I wrote an application where I have panels that the user can draw on, kind of like paint, but they can create panels. Now I want them to be able to save and load their work. Using Quasimondo's bitmap exporter, I was able to save a bitmap (200x200), and the application prompts the user where they were to save the image file. However, my problem is that the user will probably have 6-12 panels to save, and so I want the program to save all those panels so they can be loaded later.
Now in order to load, I don't want the user to manually select each panel to load. I want the user to select one file and it will load all the images into the panels. I was thinking about maybe loading a zip file and flash would extract the images and load them, but I don't know if that's possible. I think the user would need to select an XML file,which would direct Flash to what files to load and in what order. For this, and I'm assuming when it saves the flash application/php, it would need to write a new xml file.So I guess what I need to know how to do is:- How do I get flash to save several images to the server or the users hard drive- flash to generate an xml file- is there any way to make flash combine all the files into one file so that the user doesn't have to deal with several files?

I've been learning AS3 for a while now, and it's my first Actionscript language, but not my first coding language. I've learned a lot so far, but I started off doing things in the not so efficient, or correct ways. I was putting all of my actionscript on frames. I'm trying to get in the habit of doing it the right way now. But I'm having a basic problem. I can't figure out how to load a bitmap from the library in AS3.

To do this does it mean that I have to store them in another external location rather than my library and only load them when I need to use them from a URL request?

I want to load .jpg images into flash and store them as BitmapData objects. I've coded the loading of images many many times but I've never tried to store them as BitmapData, I just usually add the Loader to the display list and manipulate the image through its loader.
I feel like this is a very poor approach and so I want to try just saving BitmapData, because on the Model side of things thats really all I need.
Now the only way I have found to extract BitmapData from a loaded JPEG is to load the JPEG and upon completion write:
myBitmapData = Bitmap(loader.content).bitmapData;
First, is there a way to extract the BitmapData without encumbering the code with the Bitmap class? In other words, is there a way to extract that information without involving the Bitmap class - BitmapData while useful for a Bitmap is not dependent on Bitmap so ideally I would never involve Bitmap here.
Also, why is this Bitmap type-casting so widely accepted? loader.content is a DisplayObject and therefore is not necessarily compatible with Bitmap. Further, for all Flash knows we just loaded an SWF and as far as I know you can't typecast that to a Bitmap.

Sorry for the complicated topic. I got a .swf that loads in other .swfs. Rather than figuring out how to make a loader for loading .swfs I thought I'd just use a simple loader in the .swf I'm loading.
However, it doesn't work. It starts fully loaded but doesn't finish. Heres the AS:[AS]_root.stop();
PercentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100;

I'm trying to figure out the best way to compare a single bitmap against perhaps an array of saved bitmaps to see how close of a match it may be to any one of the bitmaps stored in the array. Right now I'm running a for loop that uses the bitmapData.compare() method to try to compare to see how much of a variance there is but... to be honest I'm at a loss as to how to use the resulting data to do so. Does anyone know of any good method to accomplish what I am trying to do? Forget looking at my code it's a waste of time because simply, it's not working.

I have 2 questions regarding bitmaps. Say I'm loaing graphics from a game off a server into a .swf file:
1) Which format is the best to use - gif, jpeg,png? (for non transparent images)
2) When a user plays a .swf movie it gets saved to their browser cache and its loaded the next time they access the same file, but when your externally loading images does flash have to re-download all the images or is it all stored in the browser cache?
