i believe it is quite simple but i'm not able to do this. situation is something like this:
function name123():void //i m already in a function.
{
....
var a:Loader = new Loader(); //define a loader
[Code]....
i know if i give set width and height in eventComplete function, i could do but the situation is different and i've to set the sizes in name123 function only.
I'm using loadMovie() to load external swf's and then send the swf to a specific frame, depending on the button that is pressed.
Code:
on(release){
_root.mc_mainloader.loadMovie("Main.swf")
_root.mc_mainloader.gotoAndPlay("fadeup");
}
Unfortunately it ignores the second line, which appears to be because the movie hasn't loaded by time it gets to the next line. As a work-around I made an interval to check for the movieclip width to be more than 0 and then run a function that chooses the desired frame, but this is very unreliable. Is there a simple way to load the clip and wait until it is finished, then immediately choose a frame on load?
I'm developing an ActionScript 3.0 app for Blackberry Playbook. I have twelve images loaded with a Loader class. I use Event.ENTER_FRAME to fade in and fade out images using this event handler:
private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
imageToFront.alpha += 0.1; // slow fade
imageToBack.alpha -= 0.1;
if( imageToFront.alpha >= 1.0 ) {
imageToFront.alpha = 1.0;
[Code] .....
I have the following problem: If user clicks on another image before the previous image hasn't reached to alpha = 1.0 it lefts that image with an alpha less than 1.0. In other words, I have to make something to left onEnterFrame function set alpha to 1.0. I have tried with stage.hasEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME) but it doesn't work.
I would like to load different images with Loader object and put them in an Array.can I use only one Loader object to load multiple images or I have to use one Loader object for each loaded image? This array is the base images collection from which I'll generate new Bitmap objects.My problem is that I have to wait the complete loading process before I can access to BitmapData.
View 4 Replieswe are making an app that uses a lot of images. Is it possible to preload all the images at the start of the app ? So the user doesn't have to wait in beteen switching the images.
View 3 RepliesIn this app/website I'm building, I will be making many requests for data (via an external PHP file that queries a MySQL database). I'd like to build this request mechanism into its own class so I can reuse it.What's the best way to handle this? I'm thinking the following would work, but I'm a bit lost on the last step:1) From the main class, call a method in the query class (with whatever arguments apply, to specify what data I need etc).
2) Set up a listener in the main class and make the program enter a sort of "wait" state (possibly visually, if these requests wind up taking more than a half-second or so)3) From query class (upon receiving the data), dispatch event to let main class know it's received the data.4) Send data to main class. <---- How should this be achieved?For #4, should I create a custom event that dispatches with the data inside the event object for the main class to receive when it's notified? Will this be a problem if I have lots of different types of requests (will I need a new custom event for each type?)? Or is there some other sort of "return" I can/should use (similar to calling a function that returns a value)
I have seen flash sites that wait to load different parts of the flash file until you click on a link, thereby starting a loading graphic that then loads the content you're looking for. I can't find any information on how to do this, and I'm guessing I just can't find the right terminology.

I'm calling the loader function from another class, so I can't simply stick the next actions into the event listener.

I am using actionscript 3. I can load an image in a class but how do Iload a number of images eg 4 images that animate.?These 4 images are a walking sequnce of a character. I am unclear after googling an loading multi images in as3( just love google).
Loading a single image I load this into a loader Once loaded I load the image into a bitmap and add to a sprite I then add the spite to the stage Q)Now for 4 related images I load 4 loader or 4 sprites or 4 bitmaps or do every thing 4 times?I want to do collisions eventually and I need bitmaps but bitmaps seem useless to use other than collisions.Googling for answers isnt helping me clarify this!

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 have successfully dynamically loaded Jpegs into my flash document(using PHP), but then I have another small problem.When I dynamically load the image (example: image_icon_bluesky.jpg) I then need to tell the MC that is holding the loaded image that it needs to do this...
on (release) {
_root.image_bluesky.alpha = 100;
}
SO basically every time a new image is loaded in my sort of "loop" script. I need to tell the image that it needs to put specific code onto the MC using specific "image" details for that specific image.
I hope this is clear. Basically what I'm trying to do.On my flash stage I already have MC's that have their alpha properties set to "0". Lets say there are 3 images. One MC is called Blue, other is called Red and the last one is called Yellow.Now using AS + PHP I have dynamically loaded 3 Jpeg's .

and so on for each image....I have tried to explain this as well as I possibly can. I just wanna know if this is possible or if there is a simple way of doing it
I've got a Flex/as3 application that is embedded into my webapp. Currently we're embedding images into the swf and loading them like:
Code:
[Embed(source="images/foo.png")]
[Bindable]
public var foo:Class;
There are two things I'm trying to accomplish. The first is the images in the swf are part of a pool of images that the whole web app uses. Currently i have 2 sets of images, one set are images that the rest of my app uses, and the other are duplicates that are used by the swf.
The reason for that is build related (ideally, we could fix this, but fixing the build process is something bigger than i want to tackle at this point in time) I have a ton of images to load up and instead of having a giant ugly if/else block, i was hoping to make a naming convention for the icons, so i could just build a string at runtime and use that to load an image. Is there a way to look up embedded images via a path, or image name? It seems that images/foo.png is floating somewhere around in the swf. Can i get to it without using foo?
Code:
myImage:Image = someMagicalFunction(foo.png);
Im currently making a flash website. and trying to make it as light as possible.so decided to load images dynamically.Im using UILoaders.I drag the UILoader from components into the main timeline and set the source as 1.jpg, because the image is in the same folder as the .fla file.and scale - false
Tested the movie but nothing shows up. i guess i need some coding? but i dont know where to add the codes. on the same frame? or in frame 1? i also need the image to fade-in.the end result im looking for is, as i click a button. 3 images show up at the same time, fading in.
I have about 20 images. And on click I need the images to load in to a MC. I've used this script to each frame. (shown are example scripts are placed in two frames.
1. The stop command dosen't seem to function. It keeps on restarting.
