I have 290 transparent .png image files that i would like to be quickly added to a movie-clip so that i can use it as an animation. (As2 or 3 either way).
The pictures are all the same height/width and format. Is there a quick way i could import them to a movieclip quickly, as manually drag and drop into the movieclip is tiring?
Batch duplicate a movieclip including its actionscript contents? and change a small part of the action script in each one, for example have it change '1.jpg' into '2.jpg' and so on?Actionscript
View 3 RepliesI have 60 pictures- set sequencially in frame by frame animation.I would like to enter them (imported or from the library- whatever works) into the timeline one picture per frame (or keyframe) so when I can hit play and see the animation.
View 1 RepliesI have a website [URL] that you can but banner advertizing on it. The banners have to be a jpg or swf file and have to be a certain size. I have no trouble with PS. Everytime you refresh the screen or go to another page a new add appears. What I'm wondering if I can take several pictures and make them into swf file. What I'm trying to accomplish is a rotating banner so you don't have to refresh to see the new ads.

Basically i want to have Album categories the same way the thumbnails work so their is a mask limiting 4 categories on screen and when you click < or > arrows next to the categories it shows the next 4 categories that you would be able to choose from.
Then I would want it to load whatever category you selected into the thumbnails and the larger pic.
Does anyone know how to do this ? Or if their is another tutorial that would show me how to add categories into something like a gallery with thumbnails?
Apologies for being stupid and the poor grammar I've been searching everywhere to find out how i can add in some categories and still have it linked to the thumbnail scroller and larger images, but i haven't found any luck at all I just want it so you could add in as many thumbs and categories as you wanted and have those masked and scrollable rather then a dropdown.
I paid for some silly pdfs to explain it better to me but they did it in a way that I didn't like and turned out just to be a waste of money. Learnt my lesson and signed up here to ask the pros! I want to create something that can be updated from just an xml file.
I am working on a new website and for some reason I decided to go with AS 3.0 ... of course there are some problems. I am not a programmer ..just a designer but as3.0 fascinates me and decided to go all code on this(nothing on stage).Here's the thing : I am loading some pictures from xml, and for now I stored everything in 1 movie clip.What I want to do is store each picture into a separate movie clip and then all this movie clips in to the big one that I have now and reference them from there.This is my code to load the pictures into 1 movie clip.
function loadAllPictures2() {
var mainLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mainRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(picturePathList2[e]);
[code]......
I'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
View 1 RepliesI have created this Flash site:
[URL]
Under "Gallery", each picture, is a movieclip, which loads a picture from my server.
But the pictures aligns to the top left corner of the MovieClip. How do i make them align to the center of the movieclip?
My code is as follows:
Code:
holder_mc.loadMovie("../Nordic/images/pic1.jpg");
I'm trying to get this effect [URL] but, instead of scrolling through pictures from an xml I want it to load one movieclip from the library and pan in and out as shown in the demo.
ActionScript Code:
var xmlURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xml:XML;
//Declares the image array
var imageArray:Array = new Array();
[Code] .....
I tried to modify this so it would work to my standards, but it doesn't... I don't even get any errors.
[URL] Take a look at that website. See whe you rollover one of the pictures, the other pictures fade out...Well how can I do that? I've tried some swapDepths techniques but it gets a bit confusing.
View 2 Repliesin my last flash website i built, i created a gallery, my way of creating pages in flash are to have a movieclip as a page, so to make it easier to switch between the paged (page switching functionality is purely done in AS3). the gallery was a problem however, i needed the pictures to appear as popups, however to add the child from inside the movieclip, any masks i use would prevent the popup from leaving the immediate area of the page. so to get around this problem i basically used: MovieClip(root).addChild()
in my opinion this was a mistake, because it created other problems. the problem was that the popups are still connected to the page, even though they are outside of it, which meant that using removeChild() to switch from the gallery, meant that any popup that were still active, 'DIDNT' dissapear, and worse than that, because the page was removed, the popups lost any AS connected to them, which meant the couldnt be removed at all.

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?
I am looking for solution to convert swf into flv in a batch

I have a scrollpane in my library.Inside a movieclip, I create an image gallery and add it to the scrollpane.I do this in this function.[code]Now everything works fine, and no problems occur.I do however get the runtime error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.containers::ScrollPane/endDrag()It doesnt seem to affect my file, but I am sure it would be better to try and get rid of it.I think it has something to do with adding my movieclip to the main movieclip, and maybe.I am not removing it when I add a different movieclip.Whenever I add a movieclip to the main one, I use container_mc.addChild(...);Does addChild check to see if a movieclip already exist, and remove it if it does? Or do I need to remove my clips beforehand?
View 2 RepliesI have a MovieClip called chipmovie which I have exported to a class method called ChipMovie, when I try and add it to another movieclip, for some reason it doesn't display.
I have checked Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1.The code that adds it to the MovieClip is as follows:
public function addChip(chip:Number)
{
var newChip:ChipMovie = new ChipMovie();[code].....
In the output it says:
init y = -151 height is 0
for all the ChipMovie objects I try to add.
I've got about 7000 eps files that I need to batch convert to swf. The catch is that I need to dynamically load these swfs through actionscript 3. Most of the solutions I tried (illustrator) created avm1 swfs, which cannot be dynamically loaded through as3 as a displayobject.
Is there any way to do this? Maybe a batch job in flash itself? The only solution I've found is to open the eps files individually and export them as as3 movies, but I obviously can't do this for every file. The other option is to somehow bypass the avm1 limitation in as3, but I haven't been able to find any info on that.
I have a whole bunch of WAV files, and for each of them I am to create a SWF file, which will contain this WAV (of course compressed as MP3) on the first frame, and then on a separate leyer there will be a stop action on the last frame, corresponding to length of this WAV. The SWF is supposed to have the same name as WAV. I s there any way to automate this process?

I am working on a flash project that has many fla files associated with it.

View 1 RepliesI want to create a custom chatback badge in Flash to match the other buttons on my site. I am a newbie to Flash using CS4. I don't have a preference of actionscript 2.0 or 3.0. I've figured out set up the url, but all I want to do is get the little dot next to my name that says whether I am online, busy or offline.

I have been asking a fair number of questions here recently and have been very pleased with the responses, so here is one more for you. Hopefully I can get another solution. :]
I have a flash project acting like a menu and being published as an .exe (projector). In this file, I have a button with the following code:button1.onRelease=function(){fscommand("exec", "openfiles.bat");}
I have an fscommand folder (in the same directory as my flash file) which contains the openfiles.bat, with one line: start myfile.txt
myfile.txt is also located in the fscommand folder. When I simply click on this batch file and run it, the text file opens as it should. However, when I click the button in my flash file, a command prompt window flashes too quickly to see with some sort of error message. It says something about not finding a certain directory and defaulting to the windows directory. I'm assuming it cannot find either my batch file or my text file. I am under the impression that as long as everything is in the fscommand folder it should work properly.
Ive found alot swf encoders, but they're all consumer push-button solutions which have given me a noticable loss in quality, regardless if i feed them flv's or uncompressed. As of the moment the only way to get comparible quality is to import one video at a time onto a flash stage, publish, and undo so its length doesnt affect the next flash video. Anyone know of a better way?
View 12 RepliesI'm looking for a method or tool that allows me to make the following: import several bitmaps (pngs that are frames of an animation) convert each of those bitmaps to a sprite, put each sprite into an array in order (spriteArray_name.push[bmpSprite]). The array itself can be just exist as a static array in resource file. This isn't exactly a complex task, but I've got thousands of frames for different animations, and I really don't want to do this by hand.
I'm not an AIR programmer but, would that be a possible easy solution? It just seems like there would be an easy way to Batch this process. I'm currently using Flash Pro cs5.5 for the project. I am currently doing this at runtime, basically creating empty spites and drawing in the bmp data on the fly. But, its not going to work. I need to do this precompile (or during compile if that's possible).
i have a flash .fla that was compiling as a .swc with references to images, but now I need to load all these images externally and I dont have the original assets.
I know I can export them one by one, but I have a few hundred in the file, and want to find an easier way.
How to pass or get variables through AS3 and Batch files?
Actually My main app is in Flash CS5. I want to search root folder (Which is not possible only with AS3 alone) for number of directories and pass them to a batch file.
trying to combine animation and scripting together to try to make a stop motion based on pictures in my library...I had taken loads of pictures and had drawn on them to provide the frame by frame animation, and what's left now is getting them on to flash... What I used to do is to just put the images in one by one, but this time, this method is not really feasible, as I have a little more than 900 images to load this time...
My question: Is there any way to create a while loop to get each of my images into a new key frame? Like, for each image I have, an empty key frame is created, and then my image is loaded into it?
I'm using the SQLRunner class made by Paul Robertson and I need a way to determine when an executeModify batch has finished executing so I can safely move on to the next step and work with the data.
the function can be called with a resultHandler and progressHandler function when it's called, but I am getting a complete event with every query in the batch. I put `if (completedCount == totalCount)` in my progress handler, but it never gets called.
Most of the info is covered in these classes in the sqlrunner package..

View 3 RepliesI'm working on an interactive company, and for each campaign we create dozens of loaders. A loader is a simple flash file contains the following elements:* few lines of code for eRate (counting how many clicks have been done on a banner)* a loader for the source banner from "http://....host.../..../" + w,h + ".swf"* a button that tells what happens when a banner is clicked (different portals as us for different scripts)Is there a way to automate the process of making such files? it takes a 1 minute to make 1 swf, but the amount of loaders make the work a bit longer.I'd like to see an application that asks for a list for sizes + eRate code for each one and the URL for the source banners.
