i am using flash cs3 with as3. i want to slide content of uiloader with some percentage whenever i click slide button.i have a UILoader of size 1024*768 with scaleContent=false , and the mask of size 1024*768 set on uiloader. i have an image of size 2048*768 and i load this image to uiloader, now i have a two buttons on the screen one for slide left and other for slide right.i want to slide uiloader content by 256 pixel every time the button was clicked in particular direction(depends upon which button is clicked).
currently i am working on right button only. so ignore left sliding at this point.The problem is when i clicked button first time it works fine but when i clicked the same button second time the slide of image is disturbed and it first goes 256 pixels behind zero and then slides to 512 pixels (at third click again it starts from -256 and then come at the target position) . i want to slide the uiloader contents from 256 to 512 at the second click and so on.
I have to dynamically load an image in 2 separate places, but I don't want to have to load the same image twice (this consumes more bandwidth and makes the user wait longer than needed).Is there a way to, say, copy the contents of a UILoader into the contents of another? I am aware that flash performs caching, but I still see a slight loading delay on subsequent reloads.I am using as3, btw, on flash cs5.
I'm creating a UI which utilizes UILoader component to load content that I won't have control of.The "window" where I want content to appear is 950 x 420. Doing a simple test, I created a .swf with a stage size that matched, but with content bleeding over the edge of the stage.To ensure users only see what's on the stage of the loaded content - and not what's bleeding off - would the correct action be to create a mask for the UILoader instance? Are there any alternatives to using a mask? Like a property or something? (I didn't see anything.)
Is there any way of getting the size value of an image that is loaded into, and scaled down, a UILoader?It's not the original image size I'm looking for, nor is it the size of the UILoader, but the present size of the content of it. I found setSize, but I need something like getSize.
I have UILoader that loads images 427x240, then I thought to load an external swf dimensions 427x273. So I resized UILoader to height 273, now the images on load are positioned vertical middle, gap top and bottom, i need this to be absolute Top. How do I set UILoader loaded content to position Top?
I have picked up a uiLoader component, and copy-pasted four times, so now I got five of them in my flash movie. Each got a different source (dresses/dresses1.swf, dresses/dresses2.swf, dresses/dresses3.swf, dresses/dresses4.swf, dresses/dresses5.swf). But When I launch the movie, all the 5 uiLoaders display the same content: dresses/dresses2.swf, and I can't understand why. For a test, I have replaced the .swf file with some jpeg files, and they were ok, but as I put the swf files back they show the same content again. The sources are ok, they work perfectly separately, so I can't figure out what is the reason why the swf files are loaded incorrectly..
I have changed the UILoader box position for different labeled frames. But the UILoader keeps loading the content at the same place, no matter what the content I ask him to load. If I move the UILoader at the middle of the page, the content still loads / appears on top of the page as if the UILoader
I'm trying to make vertical sliding content on my flash site and I have it working so that when I click on the second button, it slides up to the second content, but when I click back on the 1st, it doesn't slide back down to display the 1st content.
var currentPosition:Number = contentholder.richginfo._y; var startFlag:Boolean = false; menuSlide = function (input:MovieClip) {
I'd like to get the content sliding and then zooming in effect achieved here:I know that the the basic content slide works using the AS below.Any ideas on adapting this to get the effect achieved at Zebra? Or is a different approah needed?
I'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:
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 have several external loaded swf's in my website.For example;When in home and clicking to contact. Then contact gets a little bit smaller.When clicking back on home, home gets smaller and so on..if i repeat this process everything gets smaller and smaller..
how to make a sliding content with a next and previous button in AS3? I know how to do it in AS1 but in this particular project I made use of Tweenlite, which requires AS3. Basically, I have a vertical movieclip navigation that toggles back and forth, and in each movieclip i want to insert a sliding image gallery with the next and previous button.It's similar to this onebut instead of having individual links, i just want to have a NEXT and PREVIOUS buttonIs it also possible to have links in each image? Anyway, in case I'm not making myself clear I attached a sample fla. and jpeg file of what I'd like to happen.[URL]
I'm looking for tutorials that show how to create scrolling content in flash, but instead of an auto scroll, I would like to click and drag the content.Similar to the link below.
Could you please tell me how this photo animation effect is achieved - see the pictures that slide seamlessly to the left every say 3 seconds (the pictures just below the BIGSTOCKPHOTO logo).. Site- www.bigstockphoto.com
I have noted this effect being used in many other sites.. And none of them seem to employ flash for making this. Please let me know whether this is just JS or whether its purely a CSS based effect, and probably a place where i can read on how to make this.
I have a problem with the Home button. I want to disappear content of the 3 UILoaders components that I have on stage.I try to use the method removeChild(UILoaderName) but it doesn't work. This is my code:
function goStart(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(200); count=1; removeChild(central);
I am building a long timeline (50-100 entries) dynamically from XML. An entry can have either text or image or both. They all have the same distance from each other but they have different widths. there will be a slider at the bottom to quickly bring the user from one end of the timeline to the other end.
It's an interface that's similar to the aiga design archives. [URL]
The main difficulty I see is to dynamically load content that is currently visible first and content that is 'offscreen' later (or even unloading it if it enhances performance, does it?) I could try to figure out the math... but I know from experience that I get major headaches from such undertakings...
The second difficult task will be to determine the width of all entries before displaying them.. Is there a way in as3 to find out how wide an image is before completely loading it? Hmm that sounds a little unrealistic, but I thought I'd ask anyway
I am looking for an as3 class or library that could assist me in building this, mainly detecting if an entry is visible or not, or even better which entries are visible or not. Has anyone seen any as3 libraries related to such an interface?
I have a sliding thumbnail gallery which when a thumbnail is clicked loads an external .png into a container with an instance name of mycontainer which I have on the stage in the .fla. Its added like such: When the Loader's (which I gave an instance name of imgLoader) complete event is called the function onLoaded loads it -like this: mycontainer.addChild(imgLoader);
I also added a mask(stageMask2) to mycontainer which is the same size as the external .png--I then used this code imgLoader.mask=stageMask2; to mask the .png. I did this because I added a zoommc function which enlarges the imgLoader and wanted to keep the visible size of the container the same. I would also like to be able to drag the zoomed image. I don't want to drag mycontainer as it contains the mask and I cant drag the imgLoader as it doesn't have that property--Do I need to put the imgLoader in another container?
Here's the problematic code: var stageMask2:Sprite = new Sprite(); stageMask2.graphics.beginFill(0x183045,0); stageMask2.graphics.drawRect(swfX,swfY,604,403); stageMask2.graphics.endFill(); var closeWin:TextField=new TextField(); [Code] .....
So that's the general idea, not quite an accordion, but similar. Basically, I'm going to have 25-30 of these boxes laid out vertically. They'll be narrow to begin with, and on roll over i want them to expand down a littlle, but when they do that, I want the ones below to slide down accordingly.
I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.
How to remove a loader and its content using removeChild or any other way, I had removed the loader but its content still playing in the background i know that from the sound of the content.this is the my code for removing:
how it is possible to edit dynamic content and modify the content and save it, all within flash.I have tried some experiments in the past and have got the text to change etc which is easy but i need a way to save the content so the next time anybody sees the flash it will have the latest content until i change it again.
I'm loading one SWF into another but the internal one is coming over the main content and that can't happen.here is the part of my code where the external content is being loaded anyone hason what I can do to fix this? here is my code:
Code: var loadAnimBox:Loader = new Loader(); var vid_mc:MovieClip;
JPG images saved in Photoshop in highest quality gets blurry when loading them dynamically through uiloader in Flash. Why, how can I maintain highest quality?
I am looking to code a tooltip for a UILoader. The text for the tooltip will come from a parsed RSS feed.I see several examples of how to do this in AS2, but it seems that it was left out of AS3.Is there a component that will achieve this?
this might be a very simple thing to do, buuuut... I've got two UILoaders on my stage, when you click various buttons it makes various pics appear in them, I want to put a button on my main stage that would clear the images out of the UILoaders when it was clicked, and would just leave them blank. Is this possible?
When I use the UIloader it loads my first swf no problem but when i use the list item to load another swf it loads it in at a massive size. I thought it wasnt loading until I increased the stage. The swf is at a normall 550 x 400 so not sure why its made it 5 times bigger
I'm trying to load a bunch of symbols with UILoaders into a TileList. The code executes without error but the image that I was loading into the UILoader doesn't show up. I'm looping through an array and creating a new object (the one with the UILoader), setting the UILoader source and then adding it to the TileList.
I need to stop playing SWF that is loading to UILoader, the swf file starts to play when its loaded on 75%, I need it to start playing when being 100% loaded and I can't get this work Here is my code:
