ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Button From Loaded Images?
Jan 8, 2011
I want to dynamically create button from image(s). So basically I have 4 images (on local disk) for 4 different button states (up, down, over, hit area), and X and Y coordinates where the button must be created. I want to create button on given coordinates, load these images and use as them button states (then I know how to add click event listener with addEventListener()). I have very basic knowledge in ActionScript, e.g. I can use gotoAndStop(), addEventListener(), etc. but I'm not proficient enough for advanced tasks.

I am trying out an AS2 xml image gallery from a tutorial online (code attached). I have also found out how to add a button to the stage that takes the SWF-movie into true full screen (code also attached).
But the problem is that the images from the xml are placing themselves above the button so that the button can't be seen or used. I would of course like to overlay the button on top of the loaded images.
I thought that putting the button on a new layer above the first layer with the AS2 xml image gallery code would do the trick, but it did not.
How can I specify that the button should be "always on top"?

I want to create a set of buttons based on loaded images from xml that onClick turn red or grow in size, whatever, Clicking another turns that button red and the old one back to default. Alsoo it will attach a animated movieclip onclick to the button and when pressing another button, it swifts to that button.
Code:
var tracktype:Array = new Array;
var imgArray:Array = new Array;
var links:int;
[code]....
But Now the problem is that when another button is clicked I have to add the listeners back on the button, but I cant get the button because they all have the same name. Same with addChild the animated movieclip. Can't remove it. The buttons have a variable name, and can be unlimited.

I have created a gallery that loads pictures from the server into a movie clip within Flash MX. This works fine. Now I have been asked to take those pictures that load dynamically and allow them to be a static image so that they can be clicked on enabling the user to view them at an enlarged state.Can I create a button that talks to the movie clip allowing the pictures being loaded to pull a pop up window enlarging it?

I'm trying to create a flash program that uses it's own code to send and create images. Each square has a colour and that colour gets added into the array. A black, then grey, then white is:
filecode = ["Bl", "Gr", "Wh"];
That works fine, but when I try to paste it into an Input text box it will only fill in the first part of the array.
filecode = ["Bl,Gr,Wh"];
So the program has NO idea what I want.The only ways I can think of fixing this is by putting in 402 text boxes to suit every box...But every one of them needs a Variable Name.Or by sending the information straight into the array. But this way you are just looking at what you just drew, and that is not at ALL practical.

I've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9);

I have a Gallery that loads thumbnails from an XML. I have added a pre-loader to each one of the thumbnails as it is being loaded from the XML. My problem is that I can't figure out how to remove the pre-loaders after it has called the Event.COMPLETE. With my curent code, As it completes loading the thumbnails, it throws an error and only removes the very last pre-loader. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Here is the code I am currently using.
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I've put together an XML gallery with previous and next buttons which navigate through my images. I've applied an alpha tween so that images fade in and fade out. Locally this works perfectly but when uploaded to the server there are delays in the images loading which means that images are not fading in - they appear suddenly and abruptly. Although the images are not particularly heavy in terms of filesize, I do realise that download speeds will vary, but I'd like obviously for the live experience to be identical to the local experience i.e. smooth & predictable.
To explain the setup:-
I have a movieclip with instance name "cover_mc" which contains a UILoader with instance name "imageHolder".
My code:-
import caurina.transitions.*;
var lastImageIndex:int = 0;var imgArray:Array = [];
lowerNav_mc.btnPrev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,

I have a folder containing some images named 01_image_name.jpg, 02_image_name.jpg, 03_image_name.jpg, ... wich names I read with a PHP script. Then I loop loading each image and waiting until all are loaded to display them
1. The PHP script reads file names and returns a string with names separated by a "|" char, then I use the split method to store them in imagesNames array and sort it2. I loop trough imagesNames array loading images3. Anytime a new image arrives I push it in imagesContainer array and check if all images are loaded to show them
The problem is there's no guarantee they arrive in the same order they were requested. So, how I sort the imagesContainer array by file name, i.e. in the same order they are in imagesNames array?

I was wondering if there was a way in Flash to preview externally loaded images in Flash while still working.I am loading images externally to keep the file size down on a piece of elearning but now I'm afraid maintenance will be a nightmare since you don't actually see the screens until you publish. I have interactions on the screens so I need to see them for their placement on screen.

I'm using a embeded variable in the source name of my .swf to define the where my swf is going to load the XML. And the XML tells my swf where to load the pictures.This works great - for a while. but after like 2-5 minutes it stops loading the images!(the movie is still running tho).I am using a fader-movieclip, and inside this movieclip in a specific frame I call for the "changePic();" function I created to change pictures. And when this movieclip is gonna run is told by a variable I call "InteractiveTimer".
When the timer<1, I play the movieclip, who after a few seconds plays the changePic(); function.So, anyone knows what's wrong? is it a browser-bug perhaps or server issues? (it's not happening when there is no more pictures, I've created a function to loop it. Everything works perfectly, but after a while it seems like it looses connection or smth :S )
EDIT: I'm using a Loader to load the images, when it's time for next picture I use:
myLoader.contentPath=myXML.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0]; i++;
that is what the fader-function is triggering ( changePic(); )

As the title says. How do I add a stroke or outline to the images loaded by my XML? I need to create a hover state and selected state. So when I rollover my images there is a blue stroke that goes around the image. I created a new movieClip called newHover and I thought I could add it using my loaders mouseout and mouseover events but the loader class doesn't support do that.Maybe adding a movieClip that has the stroke isn't the way to work this. how to accomplish this.
ActionScript Code:
//floor color1
var cityPic:Dictionary = new Dictionary();

I have a grid with 17 columns and populating it with images through XML. I would like to scale the images on Mouse over. I can get this to work but the problem is that some of the images when scaled are below the surrounding images. I thought maybe setChildIndex, but perhaps I was not implementing it correctly.

I am importing an external JPG into my movie. I need to use that same JPG in 3 total places, all at different sizes. I also need to motion tween between the first instance of the image and the 2nd, as it moves and resizes to a smaller version. I have it working so I can fade in (on the timeline) my holder movieclip. BUT, when I try to either resize the holder movieclip, or change the mask for it, the image just disapears. Here is how I have the image coming in:
Code:
_root.content.holder1.createEmptyMovieClip("photo1", 1);
_root.content.holder1.photo1.loadMovie("imports/photo1.jpg");

I have a somewhat advanced flash question. Im constructing a gallery using xml. My code isn't too different from most xml galleries. But heres what I can't figure out or even know if it can be done. After clicking the links (currentThumb_mc) my full res images come up to view. All my .jpg's/full res images are the same height but they all differ in widths. I have a mask set up where the full res images get loaded to. My question is can i set up code to scroll the current loaded image behind my mask and have the edges stop at the mask width.This may be tricky because all the .jpg's/full res images are different widths. I assume you need to get the x property of the loaded images. im not too familiar with that.below is my code
Code:
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

I had created a flash which load several images and display it using loadMovieClip(). I need the images to load in a specific order according to the information retrieve from a xml file. However, my scripts only works well if it was tested in my local computer. In online environment, the images seems to load in a random sequence. so that the images loads according to the xml order?
Below is my scripts:
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("galleryxml.xml");

First of all I've made a small drag&drop with all images and movieclips already in library, worked like a dream. After that I wanted to take the next step .... loading them dynamic and here is the problem:On the scene I dont have any items or in library because I want to control everything from actionscript
For my drag and drop I have to call movieclips by instance names and here is my big problem making Flash to keep my instance names.Here is my XML:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<images COLUMNS="5" >
<image nume="c1" >img/c1.jpg</image>[code]...
I get only the last "c" picture at y=10. It not bother me that I can do it with grandma' method (put an else if for each "c")
