I put in the stage 3 instances of uiloader and name pic1, pic2, pic3. How can i load a bitmap in these 3 instances of uiloader with a loop structure;

I'm currently working on a flash project that creates a lot of instances(small boxes) and puts them on the stage, this will lag significantly after a while, and I thought there would be a way to draw these boxes to a bitmap object and remove the unnecessary children.

View 1 RepliesI seem to run into compile issues in Flash Builder when I import 3rd-party libraries at the wrong level in the directory structure. For example, sometimes I'll import a library one level too deep into its directory tree, and the package explorer ends up excluding the prefix root-level package, usually "com." or "net.". Even though the content of the source itself doesn't change, this will cause compile errors.
Thus: Is it a 1) convention or 2) language requirement that a class's package structure (e.g., "foo.bar.Class") must match its path location (e.g., foo/bar/Class.as)?
If it's a language requirement, why is it a requirement? Wouldn't that overdetermine the package structure, since it is already specified in the source code and quite happily consuming the first three to eight columns of each line? If it's not a language requirement, are my compile errors just a result of Flash Builder enforcing the convention?
my UILoader won't allways load its image.I named it "imagem".The source string comes from the buttonīs label.The click function loads simultaneously 3 UILoaders (imagem, imagem_prev and imagem_next and one caption (legenda) consisting of a simple string.Every now and then it doesnīt properly load the images.I have pasted the function for the click EventListener bellow.
function abrir_obra(e:MouseEvent):void{ var theContent:String = e.currentTarget.name var contentArray:Array = theContent.split("_"); index2=contentArray[2]; var alvo:String = e.target.text; var st:String=myArr1[1];

View 1 Repliesis it possible to load dynamic/animated gifs using a UILoader by any chance? Simply stating its source just gives a static image which is no good ~_~
View 2 RepliesI've started with a new Flash file and wanted to toy around with loading images and resizing the UILoader to the size of the loaded image. I've added a UILoader (instance name: loadImage) component to the main timeline and added the following code in the Actions window:
loadImage.source = "bookmark.png";trace( loadImage.content );
The image displays properly after compiling and viewing the SWF. However, loadImage.content returns null, instead of the DisplayObject that contains the image. This way, trying to resize the UIloader according to the loaded image doesn't work, since I can't access variables of an object that hasn't been initialized.
All the documentation states that loadImage.content should contain the DisplayObject that's loaded after setting loadImage.source or using loadImage.load( new URLRequest( "bookmark.png" ) ) (which also has the same problem).
I'm would like to use the UILoader to randomly load an image from an array according to the day of the week. The attached FLA file is in AS2, it is exactly what I would like to do but now in AS3. I've been able to successfully trace the date using:
var today_date:Date = new Date();var dayOfWeek = today_date.getDay();trace(today_date.getDay());
In AS2 I used this the loadMovie function to randomly display SWF's in the movieClip. From what I can tell loadMovie is not an option in AS3 making me think that using the UILoader may be a good solution.This is what my code looks like in AS2 (also attached the FLA file):
loadShow = function() {
var today_date:Date = new Date();var dayOfWeek = today_date.getDay();trace(today_date.getDay());[code]....
I have a typical logo on the right top corner and a menu bar just above it. Above the menu bar, I have a UIloader in which I load photoalbum.swf when one of the menu buttons is pressed. The problem is that setting the scaleContent property to true doesn't load my external swf.Setting it to false, everything appears as expected, except that the bottom part of my photo album is cut since the scaleContent property set to false (this makes the loaded swf file's size the same as the stage's and as the UIloader begins just above the menu, the bottom part gets cut off).

I have a UI loader that loads images (arabic file names) from folder based on some user input. The images loads fine when i'm opening the SWF file, but when it's on an HTML page, the files' names are encoded some how and then not loaded. When I write the full path of an image in the browser's address bar, the image opens fine. Is there away I can keep the file names in arabic, and make them load when the swf object in an HTML page?

- loop through the Grid array and place each tile on the stage
- assign RedBall a random Grid coordinate and places it on the stage at that coordinate
I want to be able to click RedBall, which will create a border around the tile beneath RedBall, and create borders around the tiles above, below, to the left and to the right. BUT, I don't want to reference the tiles by their distance in pixels from RedBall or from each other; I want to reference the tiles by their coordinates in the Grid array. So I want to:
- get the coordinates of RedBall
- use those same coodinates to reference the tile at the same coordinates in the Grid array
- use the tile's coordinates to reference the tiles above/below/left/right
- apply a border to all these tiles
What's the best way to reference an instance of a tile? Should I apply a name to each instance as it's created in the loop? like myTile.name = "tile"+i+"_"+j; ? If so, how do you reference that instance later? Just tile1_3 ? Do you have to prepend it with root, or stage, or the class it was originally created in? Do you have to use getChildByName? OR, can you still reference it later without having given it a name?
There's 3 boxes I'm indexing through with a timer. They disappear in sequence. How do I make them reappear?

I'm not to particular about the sequence they disappear and appear, but it need to keep going in a loop.

I'm very new to Adobe Flash CS5.5. Can you create a common instance EG: "Enemy" and then control it like so:
Enemy.x += 1;
So that all instances of Enemy will move forward one pixel each frame? Instead of just one enemy? If this is not possible could I set up some sort of array of enemies like you can in C and try something like:
int EnemyNo = 1;
for(EnemyNo = 1; EnemyNo < 5; EnemyNo++) {
Enemy[EnemyNo].x += 1;
}
Does Flash even support "for" loops?

View 12 RepliesI'v been toying with this for a few weeks now and I'm trying to find the best way to animate several instances of an object created by a for loop thru an ENTER_FRAME function.When the function runs only 1 of the 3 instances that were created animates.

Exactly this doesn't work but is there a way to do it?
Code:

// would create object1, object2, object 3, object 4, ...
}
So I know that if I want to create an instance of a movie clip called part01Roads from the library I do this:
Code:
var part01Roads_mc:part01Roads = new part01Roads();
addChild(part01Roads_mc);
part01Roads_mc.x = -22379;
part01Roads_mc.y = 317;
Well I want to take this one step further if it is at all possible. Lets say I have 100 different movie clips labeled in a sequence: part01Roads, part02Roads, part03Roads ..... part100Roads. Instead of rewriting the above code 100 times, can I make a loop to do this?
In the library of the FLa I have a symbol that is exported for actionscript with a class name of 'aClip'.I am placing multiple instances of it on stage as follows:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var myClip:aClip = new aClip();
myClip.x = 0;
myClip.y = 50 + (50 * i);
}
Each myClip will move across the stage at 1 unit per frame. If I only had 1 instance on the stage I would implement as follows:
Code:
//make an enterFrame listener for the stage
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveClip);
//make a function for the listener[code]...
The problem I am having, is getting this to work for the multiple instances generated in the for loop.
