I have been facing with some issues with lags in my Flash applications and wondering if it is possible to dynamically set Graphic Quality in Flash based on user's machine spec or connection speed so that I can set the Graphic Quality to Medium or even Low when the user's machine is unable to handle it.

View 8 RepliesI have a motion tween that adds effect to a Symbol of type Graphic. My question is this:How can I change the graphic dynamically? I want to change the graphic to one inside my xml file. I am reading through my xml file fine, I just need to know how I can take the url to my new image and put it into my symbol.
View 1 RepliesAs the title suggests I am looking for a way to dynamically change graphic on a MovieClip object the best way.Currently I have a setter function:
ActionScript Code:
public function setGraphic(cGraphic:Class):void
{
[code].....
the only thing I found in the documentation was loadBitMapdata and methods of that type. Not sure if that's what I want.
In particular, I have an existing movieclip that is linked in my library. It has a graphic, a timeline, etc. However, I want to dynamically change it to another graphic and timeline.
Do i have to create a new movie clip with the new graphic and timeline? But I still want to keep all the attributes of my original movieclip, I just want the new graphic and timeline.
the mouse_over state im doing tweens the alpha of a button to reveal more buttons underneath.The only problem with tweening the alpha of a MC is that I cant click on the buttons underneath, only a graphic. However, I cant figure a way of just using a graphic symbol instead of a movieclip.And I really dont feel like using more than one frame, that is accepting defeat in my oppinion. ha

View 1 RepliesI have images being dynamically loaded into a html textfield and they look very pixelated. I am able to getImageReference via an id attribute in the <img> tag, but I can't apply smoothing to this DisplayObject because I can't access it's content which is the bitmap. I know the image is loading and I know the reference is working because I can call the id name, I can scale, rotate change the alpha and apply filters. I have tried setting the stage quality to best, but that doesn't make a difference. If I do an addChild(loadedObject) as a test, the image is loaded (not in the text field) and looks beautiful no pixelation at all.
Here is the error I am getting:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property content through a reference with static type flash.display: DisplayObject.
Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
var loadedObject:DisplayObject = testText_4.getImageReference('image_mc');
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = Bitmap(loadedObject.content).bitmapData.clone();
i wan to change and resize image object in graphic or button dynamiclly, how?
View 3 RepliesI'm looking at creating some template designs for presentations and stuff like that. The only problem I have is not being able to get the consumers tastes down to a tee. The thing that is letting me down at the moment is that im not sure how to dynamically chage the colour of a graphic once a certain button has been clicked. e.g "say if i have index as my default page and the colour scheme is different tones of red how would i be able to change this to blue or green once another button has been clicked."
It would be much better to have this layed out as 'AS' rather than having many different (goto frame label and stufflike that. Im trying to phase myself out of tweens and focus more on the AS side of the whole game.
I was wondering if it is at all possible to change the "Graphic" used in a frame dynamically using actionscript.
I was hoping to either change the image the Graphic is an instance of or change the Graphic I am using in the current frame.
Addition: Could I have a layer for each Graphic and then using action script choose which layer shows?
When publishing a project from Camtasia Studio 7, the params list includes a setting for quality. But instead of the usual "high" value, it sets it to "best". I Google'd and searched these forums but had no luck finding any definitive explanation if these two settings are equivalent. Can anybody enlighten? This topic also spurred another question, does the quality default to the highest value if the parameter value is invalid?
View 2 RepliesEverything looked fine when previewed in Flash but the quality is terrible in HTML. I'm using jpeg images. I tried boosting the quality up to 100 and it's still bad.. I provided some screenshots. I'm thinking this might be related to dimensions?
View 1 Repliesmake a graphic like this:
when i press the button the graphic go up, if press again go down, always like this.
I imported a panorama .jpg file (i.e., several overlapping landscape photos stitched together) onto the Flash MX 2004 stage, changed it to a symbol (graphic), and used Tween to simulate the panorama panning back and forth. The effect looks great when I click on the .swf file in Windows Explorer, but when I created a box on a PowerPoint 2000 slide and linked the .swf file to it, instead of the graphic, there is a red rectangle. The rectangle moves the way the graphic would, but you cannot see the photograph. By the way, I followed the steps at [URL] to link the .swf file to the PowerPoint slide.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash presentation thats for a supermarket TV screen. Its big in file size 9.6MB. When I go file/export/export movie to quicktime and use the animation settings the file plays but leaves trail lines behind, skips frames and looks crap.
The quicktime settings I've used are either:
Animation
Quality Best
Millions of colours
All Key frames
24fps
or
DV - PAL
Frame rate 24fps
Quality Best
I need it to look high quality but I am not sure what settings to use.

I'm looking to upgrade from Flash 8 Professional to the newest version. Has the quality of imported sounds improved beyond the tinny, in-the-submarine effect?
View 2 RepliesIn Flash I have some PNG images, and I wish these images to become 50% larger on hover. However the tween I have used to make them larger distorts the quality of the images considerably.
For the tween I am not using any external libraries and I am using a standard scaleX tween.
Is there a way around this loss of quality?
I have this simple code to access the webcam:[code]The quality of the video is extremely bad, with big compression fragments.I am using a built-in webcam as test, so I don't expect too much. But what I see is not normal for my webcam.So how do I set the quality of the video?I cannot see any difference in quality if I remove the setQuality call.

I'm thinking of developing an application with Adobe Flash CS4 but I'm having some serious quality issues when importing material from Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Fireworks CS4.When I import the material as a bitmap, the quality is better (then importing as movieclip) but not good enough.I was just wondering, how do the pro's do it? All the big companies, organizations ect ect.
View 1 Repliesam using Flash CS5 and Photoshop CS3. The issue I am facing is while exporting from photoshop (optimized for web and devices) as png-24 , most of the images lose their quality inside flash. I have tried to make the publish settings for image quality 100. On lossless compression of the images, the image gets blurry. The total quality of display is highly degraded in flash in comparison to that of photoshop
View 1 RepliesI remember i realised this ages ago, but never really needed anything with it till now. I think it was after flash mx that imported images, when rotated or scaled loose quality horribly.

I'm building a project and I need the audio to be of the highest quality when played back. I am using .wav files and I'm not too sure how to make them work.
I've tried the: play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void{
SoundMixer.stopAll();
var s1:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Sound.wav"));
s1.play()
But I guess it doesn't work because it's not mp3. I also tried embedding it into the hit and down parts of my button but the playback is weird, it plays slower and broken up. I'd like there to be some sort of function buttons such as play, pause, stop and some kind of time slider like for video playback if that's possible too?
