ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Jpegs From A Server Object Instances
Sep 28, 2010
It has been a while since I worked with flash and I am picking up AS 3.0 now. I have this project that should load jpegs from a server. I found that properties like x,y position etc are accesible through the loader object and that you can add a click event to it. Let's say I want to display a list of jpegs in thumbnail format, when the user clicks on it, it should show a full size version. I am not sure what the best approach is to achieve this as I assume that when using the same loader object to download all images the click event will reference the last downloaded image, correct? Should I create a seperate class for all of this and load all images by instantiating this class for each image or is there an easier approach?

What I'm trying to do is simple but I just can't seem to find a clear answer on how to accomplish this. I've loaded jpegs into my main movie before, but I've always created swf files of the jpegs with its own independent preloader on the first frame of the swf. This seems to work fine but it does get quite tedious having to create all of these swf's. I would like to beable to have a folder present on the server where I can just through in some random jpegs and the main movie will then show and hide a preloading bar showing the progression of the jpeg that is loading.

I have the same button several times in a loaded swf. On release, I want this buttons to attach a "mcextra" into target x This mcextra moves on vertical position and shows inside a jpeg. How can I use the same code to all the buttons so I can attach the mcextra and load diferent jpeg images? I guess I`ll have to set a variable calling the jpeg, isn`t?

At work, I am trying to load JPGs externally using AS2 loadMovie() and loadClip() and the photos take too long to display. My boss does not want a preloader, so the photos just need to display on our website immediately.
Some of the photos are between 75K and 150K and photos do not display in order. They come in at different times. Because of this, my boss is claiming that I did not complete the pages although they are done and I am just loading the photos from outside the SWF.

I was wondering if there was a way to dynamically load JPEGs and read their width/ height attributes before they actually land on stage. I have tried it once wherein I hide the targetted movie clip and try to utilize the INIT functin to check for initialize. This works pretty good except that a little dynamic animation I need tends to act a little later than it should creating a bug if u proceed immediately.

Basically my code at the beginning of the movie queries the server for the file names of jpeg files that are to be loaded into sequential frames. The reason is that the user can enter file names into a database and the application plays them back without the user having to do any flash programming. Currently, my code is using a preloader in each frame along with some additional code to center the picture etc.
This is fine *but* I need all of the jpegs to load before the movie starts, not when the play head gets to each frame. I can't have any delay from one frame to the next. Delay in the beginning of the movie is ok. Can anyone help me with a method to dynamically load these jpegs completely before the movie starts playing?...once loaded they must be available for any frame to call immediately.

I am trying to playback recorded streams from a Flash Media Interactive Server using the VideoPlayer component in Flex 4/Flash Builder 4.If the stream is located in the serverpath>/ streams/vod/_definst_ directory then I can get to it by setting the 'source' parameter of the VideoPlayer to [code]What I can't get to work is when I have a stream recorded to an instance within an application directory.So if the application is "app1' and the instance name is "inst1" it would be literally located in <serverpath>/ app1/ streams/ inst1 directory. Setting the source parameter to this "<server>/ app1/ inst1/ streamname" does not work.It seams to be ignoring the 'inst1' part of the path because the server side log shows '_definst_' as the instance name being run.I know this is in part a Flex 4 question, but manually writing a video player works. I would just like to get the Flex 4 VideoPlayer component to play the video.

I have a flash app running on 1200 machines on a local network. Currently, the app polls the php server every 10 seconds, and is returned a 14 byte string with the state. If the state is new, the app changes mode and gets new data from the server. 1200 machines polling every 10 seconds to pick up ~8 state changes per day seems like an awful lot of network traffic for this.
There is other traffic on the network (streaming video, web surfing etc). When the network load gets high, some of the machines loose the ability to communicate with the server and hang. When I run 400 machines I don't run into this problem. Looks like a scalability problem. What would you recommend for lightweight communication between server and 1200 clients? Remoting with AMFast? XML Sockets? Something else entirely?

I have a number of instances of a library object placed directly onto the stage (I don't want to have the code create them since they have to be positioned and scaled individually) want to be able to find all the instances in actionscript and assign them to an array. How do I do that? I think getDefinitionByName is what I need but I can't figure out how to get it to do that.

Is there any method to looping through instances of an object that are present on the stage/(or in a given container)?For the moment, I am creating a dice program (which allows the user to generate different dice) and I want to be able to roll all the dice at the click of a button.Right now the dice are added to a dynamic list, but I wanted to be able to loop through the "Dice" class instances on the stage so I didn't have to keep track of instance names or removing/adding/updating an array of the instances.

referencing instances of an object in AS3
I want to be able to build a navigation and reference each navigation item separately changing each instances properties depending on rollover actions etc.
I would have thought that once the name is assigned through the for loop that would stick, eg. the following code would create 3 vars called navItem, each with the name 0, 1, 2. But it seems if I trace the name outside of the for loop each is called 2. I think Im misunderstanding something really simple!
public function buildNav():void {
for (var i=0; i <itemNum; i++){
var navItem:NavItem = new NavItem ();

My project downloads an array from a MySQL server that has URLs for pictures in it. Part of my script then downloads these pictures and splices the array (removing the URL and replacing it with the bitmap). Now i need to use those bitmaps on the stage but i need two instances of the same bitmap at the same time, and it seems like flash is having a problem with this.
How do i create two instances of the same array bitmap?

I have created a new class, that is basicly just a movieclip but with a builtin eventlistener. When I add a few instances of this class to the stage, they all have the eventlistener. But later on when i remove the intances from the stage and null the references, Will the eventlistener still exist or will it be removed by the GC ?

I hate it when I'm converting someone else's AS2 project to AS3, and there's code buried on an onstage instance somewhere, which gives me the warning:"Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored."

I have a problem in ActionScript 3 with a project where I am to output a bunch of data in a diagram and as pure text. This is not the problem, though. The problem is that when the user changes the type of data he wants shown. I would then remove the currently shown columns in the diagram, and add new ones. But my code removes ALL columns, so that there is no diagram at all!
I've done it all in Flash CS5, and the columns are instances of an object I made (a rectangle) which I just add to the stage. All the instances are added to the container "container." When I want to remove them, and add new ones I use:
var container = new Sprite(); // The container for my diagram
function emptyContainer() {
if (container.numChildren > 0) {
[Code]...
I wonder where to place my function for removing all children, to remove just those children that were added earlier. To matter where I place the function (at the start of fChange, at the beginning of each case) there is NO diagram shown, either new or old.

I have a question about the Java Factory; I've read somewhere that: "... the JavaFactory will check if there is already an instance in the scope and return that. If the object is not available then it is instantiated ...", but I don't understand the expression "if the object is not available"?I am having trouble to find and/or assign classes already instantiated (by another class) in the server, to a declared destination.

Ive gone through the Object-Oriented Scrollbar tutorial on [URL]. Its working great and I have multiple buttons inside of the moveclip it lives within. The problem occurs when I create another one on the same page. I have put one on frame 1 and the other on frame 5 so that I can select a 'category' and the scrollbar movieclip changes to the relevant buttons.Ive duplicated the movie clips and changed the instances accordingly. I keep getting these errors in the Output panel when playing my swf;TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at as3_movieplayer_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()and when I click the like to the second category it comes up with this error;TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at as3_movieplayer_fla::scrollbox_1/thumbUp()Not really sure what im doing wrong - or even what these mean!Here is the code from my main actions layer;
