ActionScript 3.0 :: Resize External Images Loaded Into UiLoader?
Aug 18, 2011
Please help I've been researching this topic for like 2 days straight and it is driving me insane because I can't seem to find a specific answer for what I'm trying to achieve and I know it can be done because I've seen end results on the web. Here is what I'm doing:
1. I created a simple museum gallery with 3 portraits hanging on the wall
2. Inside the museum portraits I created 3 different uiLoaders with a black background
3. I gave all 3 uiLoaders their own unique movieClip names
3. Inside each uiLoader will be a loaded external image via a URL
4. I DO NOT want to resize the uiLoaders - I want to scale the external images proportionately to fit inside the entire contents of the uiLoaders and still remain centered
URL...As you can see currently the 3 random external images are loaded perfectly inside the uiLoaders but you see black background and I want the photos to fit the entire contents of the uiLoaders yet still remain proportionate.[code]

My publish settings are Flash Player 9 with Bottom up Load order, and the Size of the stage has been set to 900x561.The HTML is published to load the SWF file as 100%x100% Additionally I added the following to the HTML Headers to disable scrollbars:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
body {overflow:hidden}
-->
</STYLE>
I writing the movie with AS3, and I am building a 4 image, gallery.I have 4 Adobe UIloader components that are side by side and have arrows that allow you to browse the images back and forth. The UIloader is configured to auto-resize the images that it loads.The UI Loader Size Is:
W: 175.0
H: 264.0
I am using an XML file to hold image info and I use an URLLoader to import the data into an array which is then feed to the UIloader to load via URLRequest().
Here is my AS:
// Stop the timeline
stop();
// Import functions
[code]....
I first created an image that is the exact dimensions of the URLLoader and it looks OK but somewhat pixelated 1024x768 but on larger resolutions the images are very pixelated. So I created a picture that was 1024 x 1542 and again this looks OK on larger resolutions but is horrible on smaller resolutions.

i'm trying to resize dynamic loaded images, they are loaded from a xml file into a existing movieclip in _root. When I try to resize using _height and _width the images just don't show in the swf. I searched the forum and found that _xscale and _yscale works, but I really need to resize the image with _height and _width

I've got a gallery that loads images in using MovieClipLoader. Unfortunately once the images are loaded they don't seem to want to be resized.I've added an empty MC to the stage for each one and loaded the image in, then I try to resize it to fit the screen. Tracing the size after the onLoadComplete event returns 0 and changing the size makes the clips disappear from the screen.

I have a swf that loads images from my server and resizes them to fit the 800x600 stage size. The original images are stored at 1024x768 max pixels. The user can press a button to go into fullscreen mode. What should I do to show the images at the best quality?
a) should I resize the loaded images to their max size (1024x768).
b) do I need to reload the entire image if it has been resized to 800x600 or is the original image still accessible and I can replace the 800x600 image with the original?
I am using AS2 and Flash 8 (but require users to have Flash Player 10 for fullscreen)

I have an application where I try to load an external SWF. So, we have:
My application: The Stage's dimensions are 768x1280. ScaleMode = EXACT_FIT.
External SWF: It's another application where its stage is: 800x600. ScaleMode = EXACT_FIT.
The problem is that the external SWF does not modify its size although I apply "scaleX, scaleY", change its width and so on. I also tried to insert it into a Canvas container (as "How to resize an external SWF to fit into a container?" ) but it didn't solve my problem.
The interesting piece of code is when the external SWF is loaded by my application:
private function onLoadedApp( evt:Event ):void{
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
trace("Loading Application..");
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = evt.target as LoaderInfo;
loaderInfo.removeEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onLoadedApp);
[Code] .....
I also tried to do it through SWFLoader, but the external.swf's content doesn't change its original size although I add the "scaleContent" parameter.
Visual results I got:
The external SWF is loaded on the suitable position and it "seems" to have 320x240 dim. But its width is a bit cropped, since if I stretch the Flash Player I achieve to see the rest of the external swf's stage. Besides, the external SWF never is resized although I shrink/stretch the Flash Player. It always remains fixed (if I trace its dimensions, I always get 800x600, although I visually see 320x240)- If I increase the stage's width of the main application, this little clip disappear.
I know the original Stage's dimensions are 800, and this is greater than the original stage of my application (768), but I think, when I do the resizing, external SWF's Stage have to be fitted in the container. It is fitted, but a part of the external SWF is not seen. It's like Flash Player remembered that the external SWF Stage's width were greater than my application's one...

To test, download and unzip the .fla. Then create a folder "photos" in the same directory. The folder photos has to have at least 8 images called img0.jpg through img7.jpg.
Here is what I'm trying to do: The site is a gallery with several albums, and several sets of thumbnails. The idea is to externally load all the images, so that you can view img1 while img2 is still loading. After page 1 is finished loading, page 2 would then load, etc.
Everything works except the image doesn't load into the thumbnail movie clip. take a look at the code, I've been fighting it for days now...

I am using ActionScript 3 in Flash to load images into a UILoader. There is a bay of thumbnail images, which are all movie clips. When one of these movie clips is clicked, AS3 calls a larger image to display in the UILoader. All of these images are narrower than the UILoader, some very much so, and they all have different widths for the most part.I would very much like for these images to be centered within the UILoader and (obviously) am unsure of how to go about doing it. If it would be possible for them to be both horizontally and vertically centered, that would be ideal, as they are also of varying heights.

I have a main movie here that loads in an external swf through a container mc. everything is aligned and positioned to where it should be, and they are also set to that value onresize. the problem is, when my swf is loaded in, it works fine and is in the right position, same when you resize it. BUT, if you resize the window before the swf is loaded, it misaligns, until you resize!!

I have a site in progress, but am running into a problem with the transition that plays while external images/swfs are loaded. Before, I inserted the conditional statement, if(transLoad==0),multiple mouse clicks would result in endless children being added---Let me try to explain, I have a series of buttons which load external swfs upon Click events..ex
Code:
link1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickOne,false,0, true);
the function clickOne would call the transition function below:

my problem is that i need to make a reisze, cause the screen resolution for other users. My main and news movie works perfect, but the others movies re-scale everything bigger. The problem of the external loaded movie is: this movie needs the funktion:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
If i dont have this code inside the movie is not going to resize fullscreen into the main movie. Inside this movie im scalling photos and some mc's You can take a look what i mean under: [URL]
If you take a look to the bar where the Number of pictures (30) are you will see that the lower bar and the pictures is not going to scale to fill the full screen if i delete the this code;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";

I'm working in flash Cs4 and I just learned cash and I'm wondering if there's a way to use the Uiloader to load multiple images and have them change every couple of secondes like msn or actionvillage. This is my code so far:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
var imageNumber:Number = 1
function checkNumber():void
[code]....
I have buttons below my uiloader that changes the images when you click on the manually but when you don't click on the arrows I would like the images to change automatically.

I am creating a very simple gallery in Flash CS5 (I'm not sure which AS, possibly 3.0? how do I check this?) and everything works great in Flash when I test the movie. The gallery has six thumbnails that when clicked bring up a larger image above. However, when I import this into Dreamweaver, the thumbnails appear and have the invisible buttons but the larger image does not come up when the thumbnails are clicked on.
As I mentioned before, I have a very brief knowledge of Flash. I was wondering if this is a naming error on my part? Or if it possibly had to do with the trace statement (I'm not exactly sure of the purpose of these besides showing up in the output panel--). I have a feeling that the tutorial I was watching to create this did not provide all of the information needed, but then again, how would I know?
I've included my AS, but I wasn't sure how to attach my .fla file--I saw other people including links, but wasn't sure how that was done.

I'm trying to implement this for an instance of ComboBox specifically, which uses a List to display the dropdown menu full of items. Lists can have icons associated with them, as described in the documentation:
var comboBox = addChild(new ComboBox());
comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider([{label:'item1',iconClass:IconClass1},{label:'item2',iconClass:IconClass2}]);
comboBox.dropdown.iconField = 'iconClass';
... assuming IconClass1 and IconClass2 are valid classnames of symbols in our library, this code works perfectly.
Here's my question - the contents of this ComboBox will be XML-driven, populated dynamically, and I'd really rather include that icon reference as a filename instead of a classname, so that when the whole thing is implemented, the icon can be changed in the XML without opening Flash and adding a new symbol to the library. Clients aren't generally good at that sort of thing.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to find a way to reference the container for the instance of that icon class - the ComboBox.dropdown is obviously keeping a reference to each list item somewhere, and if I can find it, I can load the icon images dynamically, then addChild them to the icon instance.

I am trying to make a xml based portfolio in Flash CS5. I want to use a UILoader to load external images, but I want the images to have a drop shadow when displayed. I tried saving the image with a drop shadow in Photoshop with a .png format. When it was uploaded the image didn't show the drop shadow and had jaggy edges. Normally I use a filter in Flash but the option isn't available for the UILoader object. if there is a way my images can be displayed with a drop shadow, otherwise I will do without.

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?

I want to fade in a background with a alpha tween after it's loaded in by an UILoader. Everything seems to be working great when I do a Test Movie (in Flash) or view it in IE. However, I encounter a problem when viewing in Firefox. Somehow the alpha does'nt come up to 1(100%). Sometimes my background image is barely visable and sometimes it's at ~90%. It seems to be completely random.
Quote:
//load random background (1 to 10)
var randomNumber:Number=Math.ceil(Math.random()*10);
trace(randomNumber);
[code]....
I've tried increasing the final value (Regular.easeOut,0,1,2,true) and this will change something but doesn't solve the problem. I've also tried instead of fading in the background to fade out a overlaying vectorshape, but same result.Is it possible it has something to do with other script/my background img size/??.
