ActionScript 3.0 :: Load All The Images To Display On The Stage From A Xml File?
Mar 15, 2009
I'm trying to load all the images to display on the stage from an xml file. I am also trying to add them onto the stage using the Bitmap class. This is where I am having trouble. I am using the Bitmap class so I can use their width and height.
Right now I'm only able to see one image on stage when I use the Bitmap class. If I don't use the Bitmap class and just addChild(iconLoader) inside the loop in the xmlLoaded function I can see all of the images. But I want to use the Bitmap class.

Why doesn't this code go through the XML file in order? It should go through the XML file and display the images/comments as they are ordered in the XML file.
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {[code].....
I am trying to write a small flash app which will load and display images provided as a query. My flash app works fine when I provide the image path directly in the browser address bar, but it is not working when I do the same using html.Here is the direct link to the flash appThe Html code is attached with the post.I know my app is getting invoked and it appears to work fine when I hardcode the image url into the flash app. But the query method just does not seem to be working!!This is hosted on a linux site supporting php.
I'm looking to display three images, chosen at random on load, throughout the duration of a banner ad.Basically, these images are health tips displayed on post it's - as it plays, the post-it's fly off, revealing the next tip.I also need ensure that the images don't repeat I 'm mostly a timeline guy, but I've been learning AS and have no problem getting one image to display randomly - however the three separate ones with no repeat is throwing me off. My thoughts are to are to either
a) Put all the images on separate frame within 3 MC's, and somehow display a random frame within that clip on load, ensuring no repeat or
b) Load the images into 3 separate MC's through and XML doc, and pick one at random.
The images only appear one at a time - so I think each MC would only contain one of the 3 random images selected.So is it possible to load a random image into a MC,and then duplicate that MC without a chance of the image repeating?
I'm trying to figure out how contentLoaderInfo works; I'm trying to display 5 images on stage and place them horizontally based on their individual widths. Everything works fine except inside displayImage i remains at 5. Each width traces out correctly, but i stays at 5. What is it about contentLoaderInfo that I'm not understanding?
I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?
I bought a website template that has a scrolling photo gallery. As it came, the images are static in the fla file itself. I would like to edit the fla and load images dynamically. Ideally from MSSQL. I'm using VS2010, C# webforms, and SQL Server 2008 R2. Are there any code snippets or tutorials or general guidance on how to do this? I do have a CS3 disc with Flash on it I can use for editing.
I'm trying to work out the details in my head about some of these objects. A loader, and a movieClip. Is the loader the default object to use to load images/movies onto the stage (Actionscript 3)? The movieclip is more of an actionscript 2 object? (thought I read that somewhere).
If not what is the difference between these two objects and why would you use one and not the other.(you don't need to go onto too much detail) I'm learning AS3 but there is some AS 2 scripts (trying to convert to 3) that are used in our projects, so I've had to bounce back and forth with how I code.
Actually i have to load images into stage from any server,so tried using crossdomain.xml from my server root.though it throughs error
SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://sss/Player.swf cannot access http://ffff/images/logo-bg.jpg. A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.at flash.display::Loader/get content()at SS4UPlayer_fla::MainTimeline/ss4uLogoCompleteHandler().
I am preparing a photo gallery containing over 100 HD images, and I don't want any site visitor to wait the whole gallery to load. So I made them loaded from a folder with the help of an xmlList file. With GoForward and GoBackward buttons, I made every picture to load when requested with "addChild" command after removing the previous one. But if the next image is too big the visitor still have to wait the image to load, and another problem is if the visitor makes a few forward or backward moves he/she still have to wait for the very same image to load which is shown moments ago because the image have been unloaded.
Is there a way to load all the external images into library but make them wait in the swf cache until the associated button is clicked. so this way no image will be load twice nor the visitor should have wait.
how to import them in to the mc's on the main stage: they are named mc1, mc2 to mc6.Also, because the images will vary in width and height, I need to align them to the center horizontally, and aligned at the bottom of the holding mc.
i have banner with 5 images fad in fade out effecti need to load images & test from external file " text file or xml file " with keeping fade effects on imagesall ways i know can't keep fading effect on images so
what methods and parameters of the urlloader class we have to use to display images in a flash player if possible..also movie should update everytime a new image is added to a database or filethe images can either be in a file system or in a sql database (if possible)does flash comes with an object of this type or we have to create it
I have developed a Flash slideshow that loads 6 images from the web server using an xml loader (the image names are in anxml file), then loads these images into an array. I have an xmlloader to read the xml file, and a Loader that loads the images from the array,and then changes the images every 4 secs or so.
My problem is that when the web page is opened from a client, the space where the flash object is located (in a table)flashes white until the images are loaded. I thought I could fix the problem by making the stage the same color as the background on the web page. No dice, I still see a white box (800x320 px) that is the size of the stage, and the size of the images.When I compile it on my computer, if I look fast I can see a quick flash of white just before the images load!I did not develop the page, but put the Flash code in the index.html page.There is quite a lot of javascript on this page, maybe developed in Dreamweaver.I can attach the action script code if desired, for more clarification. Let me know on this.Basically, the images reside in a folder on the web server, the xml file has the image names, the xml loader reads the xml file,and when it is complete, goes to a routine that takes the name of the image from an xml list I create, and then loads an array.I load the image into the loader, etc. This is clearer with the code. I am using CS4 and a document class, slides.as.
I've been following along with this tutorial, which works except it uses an array to store the image path, and then later converts/saves the loaded Bitmap to a variable.
For cleaner more reusable code though, I'd like the images to come from an XML file.
Now, I'm assuming that if I have my image paths in an XMLList, I need to separate each item so that each is an XML object -- then convert it to a string so it can be saved as a Bitmap?
I am trying to load images dynamically to my stage. I am reading an xml file and trying to add the images0 to the scene. For some reason the image file seems to be loaded (I have put a trace "Success to check it") but when I try to addChild nothing happens. This is the code of my class followed by the code of my flash file: The main idea here is to load as many thumbnails as the xml file contains so I can play with them making a horizontal scroll.
I am making a flash website and trying to load and display an XML file, but nothing comes up. I'm not an expert at actionscript but I can usually figure my way through it, but it seems like I've met my match here. I want to take the data of an XML file and display it on a page of my site, but nothing's showing up. Here's the code I'm using:
------------------------------------------------- wmXML = new XML(); wmXML.load("dirlist.xml"); wmXML.ignoreWhite = true;[code]........
All I'm trying to do is load an external .swf file into a precise location on the stage of my existing Flash file. I've spent an hour and a half on this site search and found nothing. What do I add to my loadMovie command to place the file at specific x,y coordinates?
I'm using this AS to load multiple external images into mc instances on a stage, using different loaders.[code] The external images always load from the upper left corner down, how can you make the image load from the center of the instance on stage?I found this code below and doubt it will work for me since I have 5 mc instances on different parts of the stage, so the stage wouldnt be a good reference point.[code]
I'm trying to dynamically load multiple images to a Movie Clip on the stage. Where I am having trouble, is when I position different sized images one under another.
What I have done is, assign a variable for the position for the _y of the next image. eg. var spacing:Number = 0;
Since I'm loading the images from a XML file, I've included the height for each image aswell. This is where I am having trouble
Say for example, the image I am loading is 400px high, 'spacing' then appears to be 0400 and not 400. After I load the second image, which is 500px high, spacing appears to be 0400500 and not 900.
I am trying to load .F4V file to Media Display Component on button press using Following Scriptvideo.setMedia("support/name.f4v","F4V")But its not working,
