ActionScript 3.0 :: Download Certain Number Of Images?
Jun 1, 2009
I have a loop where I need to download certain number of images. This comes to the problem: each image loading process is a loader class instance. The COMPLETE event is triggered by event dispatcher while image loading is completed and as d.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete) is assigned to all instances we land with a single onComplete event handler for all downloaded images. That is fine, but not in case I need to treat them all differently.Normally, I would expect something like:
what would allow to pass additional parameter to 'onComplete' event handler to let it know how to process given image. But (of course) that would ruin AS3 creator's sense of programmatic purity, so such an easy way is not provided. Having some research I learnt that actually I need to write my own "custome event" class. More - I even found some examples... but all written is such an Aesopian language that I failed to adapt them to my scenario
How can I calculate the number of bytes download during RTMP streaming? So that I can keep track of bandwidth usage for particular user? I hope the question is simple enough to understand the requirements.
I am using actionscript 3. I can load an image in a class but how do Iload a number of images eg 4 images that animate.?These 4 images are a walking sequnce of a character. I am unclear after googling an loading multi images in as3( just love google).
Loading a single image I load this into a loader Once loaded I load the image into a bitmap and add to a sprite I then add the spite to the stage Q)Now for 4 related images I load 4 loader or 4 sprites or 4 bitmaps or do every thing 4 times?I want to do collisions eventually and I need bitmaps but bitmaps seem useless to use other than collisions.Googling for answers isnt helping me clarify this!
I dont know if there was a recent download of flash or something but the number stepper suddenly doesnt work?URL...on external banners page and on the digital copy page, they are both inactive!?
i have a weird issue....the flash file plays properly when i test it like enter+shift then all images load correctly.but same file if i stimulate download then it doesnt load the images.
in my flex application:[URL].. when i run my app, I catch this error:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://mySite.com/2/BusFlex/BusProducts.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/2 cannot access http://cs9621.notMySite.com/u7397474/c_b51d9fe6.jpg. A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.
var image1:String = http://somewhere.com/image1.jpg var image2:string = .....image2.jpg var image3:string = .....image3.jpg and so forth.........
i have a timer that displays each variable as an image one a time ....
how do i "buffer" the image and display them instead of going out each time the timer runs? im asking because sometimes the server could slow or some other reason. so what i want to do is to download all those images and then display them from the clients computer. some sort like @Embed ??
I am writing a script to upload and download images. I have a cancel btn that is giving me an error, undefined method. ActionScript Code: // First thing is to set the flashing upload message clip to invisible uploadMsg.visible = false; // Set the URL for the PHP uploader script var URLrequestUp:URLRequest = new URLRequest; var URLrequestdown:URLRequest = new URLRequest; // Assign the image types Filter [Code] .....
The app itself will require some data from an online database to be downloaded and stored locally, so that the kiosk can be safely disconnected from the internet while running, and reconnected later to update its data.I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to do this. I figured that the data's easily enough loaded from a server-side PHP script and saved to a local SQLite database for offline usage, but I haven't been able to find any solid method of downloading and saving images. At least, not without using a save dialog.
I've made an image gallery which loads images from an XML-specified folder. My function doGallery(urlPath); is using an URL-Path as an argument, which allows me to load new images and create a new gallery with these at runtime.The function will store loader objects in a gallery array, which is then cleared and overwritten once a new gallery with new images are made.So far so good. However it seems as if I have to re-download the same images as I have already once loaded, if I decide to go back to a previously visited gallery. I assume this is because I overwrite and clear the array which contains my previous loaders. Could anyone confirm this and possibly offer a solution? I hope I'm making myself clear enough for you to grasp my issue here.
I'm loading in an unlimited number of images through XML. I've got it so that it creates an MC for each image and adds each image to it. I need to position them into 2 coloumns and an unlimited number of rows.. so like :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 .. etc
You'll see from my AS below i've got the code to position them along side each other, i just need the MCs to move down a row every 2..[code]My maths brain is about to explode so could anyone enlighten me as to the best way to do this?
I was wondering if there is way to replace the checkNumber() function with a more flexible code. That will allow the user to change the amount of images in a folder.
Lets say i have 7 images in a folder (gal1) that im showing in a simple gallery.
What i wish to do is to be able to add or delete or change the number in the images in the folder without having to change the acctual code.
if(imageNumber==7) is rather hard, how can i make this more flexible to allow for the changes?
Code: next1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage); var imageNumber:Number = 1; function checkNumber();void{
I created a context menu that has an "Add Image" option and "Delete" option. How would I add the image to the stage? I'm primarily unsure about how to create the image component dynamically since I want to be able to add any number of images.
Recently I came across a site showing a no. of images (probably 8 - 10) rotating around an invisible eclipse. When we put mouse-pointer over any of the images it's tip shows a linked site's name and if clicked that particular site opens up. Only one image is displayed perfectly which is on the top while rotating, while other remain blurred out not clickable. How to create such effect as I need to get it implemented.
I need to take a jpg and clone it 200 (can be any number) times. I want the files to all be saved in the same directory but with numbers. Essentially creating an image sequence of one image. Photo001.jpg ... Photo200.jpg Is this possible? The file reference class seems like would ask me each time where to save the file, I clearly don't want that. Ideas?
I have this code which works fine when selecting a small number of images.
public var fileReferenceList:FileReferenceList; public function browseFiles(event:Event = null):void {
[Code]....
However, when selecting a large number of images (1000+), the fileList isn't initialized yet when the SELECT event is dispatched. Is there a way to wait for the fileList to be initialized?
I would like to be able to load a number of images, one after another on screen. each image will be visible for a set length of time (I would like to speed this up or down at a later date) Also I would like the option of making the images fade from one to the next.
So I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.
I need to display a number of images within a scrollig area. I thought the easiest way of doing this was to put them inside a MovieClip and then have this MovieClip as the source of a ScrollPane.This works fine if I only use the mouse - I can select the different images and react to them.However I need to have this accessible so I need to have it tab enabled but for the life of me I can't get it working. From the documentation it should immediately tab into the first image.The closest I have gotten is to press return when I get to the scrollpane and move the focus to the first item in the scrollpane.However when I check what has focus it still says the Scrollpane so I don't think I will know when to move the scroll bar to be able to see the currently active image.
public function Test() { addChild(_scrollPane); _scrollPane.tabChildren = true; _scrollPane.width = 200; _scrollPane.focusRect = true; _scrollPane.height = 200; fm = new FocusManager(_scrollPane); _scrollPane.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onkey);[code].....
i'm trying to include a number of images in my SWF file not by loading them but by embedding them in the SWF itself. I found the following instruction to do that:
[Embed(source="../graphics/images/ss0.png")] private var SS0:Class;
Basically, i want to embed a different number of images each time. Is there a way to do that automatically (let's say inside a for loop) or do i have to type manually this instruction for each image i want to include?
I'm working at a company which has high security environment.Akamai Download Manager starts to download a trial Flash CS5. However, it stops quickly and downloads nothing (zero byte).I want to download a trial Flash CS5 without Akamai Download Manager!
I generate a HTML page with VB.Net which stores several pinks to files. These links are formatted with JavaScript looking like the Windows-Explorer with folders and files. The problem: There are only download links for the files, not for Folders. A folder can contain Subfolders ,a List of Files or a combination of both. So if I want to download a folder, I have to click manually on every file-link. I have not the possibility to insert PHP or another Server-side language. my question now is: Is there a client side way to Download them by click on a Folder? I prefer Javascript but If it isn't possible Flash will be ok also.
Trying to make a code that displays a number of products/images. Problem is pretty simple... when I put in a new picture, it ends on top of and covers the last. Do I use an image array to fix this? And how?
Also, if I want to position my array/gallery somewhere else on stage, where/how do I adjust the x y values?
my .fla file:
Code: var myPicture:Picture = new Picture("bilde1.jpg", 100, 100); addChild(myPicture);
We build prototypes and demo applications in Flex 4.5.1 and AIR 2.7 for mobile and desktop use. These tend to involve a large number of full-screen .PNG files. Lately we have been looking at ways to segment our code for flexibility and multi-screen re-use. What suggestions do people have for segmenting the project and libraries such that compile times are minimal and images are easy to replace?
i have a dynamic image gallery, and what I want to do is be able to load a number that is saved in a text file and use it as the total number of images in that folder for an if statement:
this is what I have so far:
Code: var imageNumber:Number = 1; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("images/info.txt")); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
[Code]....
how can I use the value of a variable within a function outside of that function without having to create a class and package and all that?
I need to be able to have the function return a value of a variable within itself and be able to target that value outside the function..
