Clear Image Cache At Runtime?
May 20, 2011
I have an issue with downloading an image from a URL that is not getting updated at runtime. I'm using a URLLoader to download the file initially at the start of the app from some URL, then later on there is a call to the server which re-compiles the image into something else. After that the image is being downloaded again from the exact same URL, but as far as I can tell it's not getting the updated version, but is getting it from the cache that flash creates.
If I restart the application after doing all of this it gets the correct image when it downloads at startup, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to download the correct image at runtime. Does anyone have any idea how this can be accomplished?

I don't want Flash to store the video and image files it pulls in when I test publish the swf. Somewhere it's keeping those files in cache, making it impossible to test a realistic download situation ( such as loading indicators, buffering bars, etc ) because the 'loading' file is immediately available in its entirety due to being stored in cache.

Where are the signed, cached flex libraries on a windows / mac / linux system? They don't appear to be in my browser cache... so where is adobe keeping them? I found the files. But can I clear the cache? After trashing the files in windows, I don't see the files get downloaded again (with fiddler).

I remember reading something by theCanadian about this but I can't find it.I can't use the new Air API's in Flash IDE. I have followed the normal overlay instructions. Everything is correct in the application xml file, (3.3 namespace, swf version 16 is targeted).I deleted the xml, let a new one auto generate, but still failed to recognize the new APIs.
I changed the project from iOS, to android, back to iOS and now it works. So for that project at least, something was cached somewhere? Is there another way to "clear" some cache or memory related to this?

I have a Flash game that runs fine, and if the player loses he can retry by clicking the retry button. For some reason I have listeners from previous scenes that won't go away, or are malfunctioning, when the user hits retry and the game and starts back at frame one in the first scene (the actual game is at scene 2 but the retry takes them to scene 1). Is there a way that I can reload the whole movie so previous data won't show up when the player restarts the game? I am kind of looking for a "refresh movie" script for the .swf file.

I have a swf with four frames. The first frame loads an external class that acts as traffic controller - looks at the root flashvars being passed in and redirects to frame 2, 3, or 4.
Frame 2 is a basic login screen. There's 5 layers - 2 background layers, the login screen, and a dummy text field. I also have trace statements on every layer, which I have speaking with javascript and writing out to the Firebug console. Since the swf requires database access to know what to do, it only works on a server.
The issue I'm having is that, occasionally, not all the layers on frame 2 load. All the actionscript on every layer fires successfully. What I'll do is clear my cache, and roughly 1 out of every 3 times, the only layer that's loaded is the bottom layer, or the bottom two layers.
I've removed the login movie clip and replaced it with dummy text - nothing. I put a preloader on the first frame - nothing. I created a loader swf to, in turn, load this problematic swf - nothing. I thought it might have something to do with order of rendering so I made those bottom layers semi-transparent - nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to further diagnose this problem? While it's intermittent, it happens often enough to demand a fix.

This is my first post here in StackOverFlow, and I bring you a problem that is hauting my development team.
We are in a project, using stand alone FlashPlayer as a news displayer.The news feed is a dynamic XML returned from a ASP.Net request and runs on Windows XP.
The problem is:- The display is running in a bus screen and sometimes the internet connection fails, but we still need to keep displaying images from the news already downloaded. When we manually put a string on a URLRequest it works. The image is downloaded from the server, cached by the IE8, and re-loaded from cache if the internet is gone. But, when we dynamic retrieve the image url from de XML and puts inside de the URLRequest method, the re-load from cache do not work.[code]...

I'm having trouble trying to cache a movieclip that contains an external image that I have successfully loaded. My problem is that the fade function that is running when after the image is duplicated doesn't appear to be affecting the mc that contains the cached image.Is there a handler that I can use to ensure that the bitmap is attached inside the movie clip before I run my fade in, or do I have to beware of a timing issue and delay running the setInterval for the fade in?
bmppopulatedClip.onLoadInit = functiontoRun; or something?
Here's my code that doesn't work:
Code:
Stage.scaleMode = 'noScale';
Stage.align = 'TL';
import flash.display.*;[code].....

does anyone know a good way of unloading content from loader object? I want to load a same image few times (backend overwrites old images with new ones) and all I get is bitmap data that is initialy being loaded the first time. So I guess bitmapData is stuck in cache by default and I cant get rid of it. I tried following:
loader.unload()
loader.contentLoaderInfo.content.unload() before each load() call
setting loader object to null

I'm doing an Image Cache following this method: [URL] I copied the two as classes, renaming them CachedImage and CachedImageMap. The thing is that I don't want to store the image after being loaded a first time, but while the application is being loaded. For that, I've created a function that is called by the application pre-initialize event. This is how it looks:

I have a media player, which rotates images for the artist it plays. I load the images dynamically into the flash. The flash downloads the same images from the server over and over, how can i cache the images, so flash grabs them from a local cache and not from the server?

I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.

I made a program in Flex that uses the actionscript 3 drawing api. I am drawing on a Canvas and on every mouseUp event I save the bitmapData in an Image component and clear the the Canvas. That works great, but the problem appears if I want to add a background to the paint that was drawn.
Here are the mxml components:
Code:
<mx:Canvas id="_backgroundColor" width="100%" height="100%" x="0" y="0" />
<mx:Image id="_image" x="0" y="0" mouseEnabled="false" />
<mx:Canvas id="_paper" x="0" y="0" />
And here it is the function I have on the Canvas (_paper) mouseUp
Code:
private function onSaveModifications(evt:PaperEvents):void{
var bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(this._paper.width,this._paper.height,true,0x00FFFFFF);
bmpData.draw(this._paper);
this._image.source = new Bitmap(bmpData);
this._paper.graphics.clear()
}
I want when I set the _background Canvas background color to see it, but I cannot because the Image component(_image) where I save the bitmap is masking it.
This is how I set the background
Code:
this._background.setStyle("backgroundColor",0xff0000)
Do you know how can I make the pixels of the bitmap that weren't drawn to be transparent?

I am using Flash CS4. I insert and build a SWF file just fine. In the component inspector there is a preview entry but there is a note that says it is only for development not runtime. It says to use ActionScript and the Export option. I have used the Export Option to create the thumbnail image but I have no idea how to setup the ActionScript.

I am facing difficulty in doing as below:
I have created a MovieClip symbol, called imgOne_mc, out of a PNG image. I have also added an empty MovieClip symbol (with the name imgContainer) on the stage. Within the code, inside a Class, I want to attach imgOne_mc to the imgContainer, at run-time. I tried it in following way:
imgContainer.addChild(imgOne_mc);
But, it ended up with the error "Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display: DisplayObject".

isnt there a way to get an FLVPlayback component to display its FLV's first frame until it has enough frames buffered to start playing the video? I can add a preview to it that i can see while im authoring the flashfile the component is in, but it just shows up as a white frame for a second at runtime.. id like to get it to display its first videoframe instead of that. The component inspector assures me there is a way to do this using actionscript, but leaves me hanging on exactly how its done, or where to discover such information

I've been thinking about the possibility of using Flash to create designs through ActionScript and tools that I could use at runtime. Is there any way of saving the stage elements as an image that I can use for print output later, preferably as a vector image?I realise the better option would probably be to learn how to script in java script or another language that can be used with a drawing application such as Illustrator, but I'm curious about what sort of options I have to do it through Flash.

In Flex, how to assign swf as image source at runtime, not embedding it.[Bindable] public var myImg:String;<mx:Image id="intImg" source="{myImg}" width="96%" height="96%" />In my application, I fetch image url dynamically from a web service call, and assign it to "myImg". But until I don't get the response from the web service call, I want to show a loader swf in image control above. I assigned something like:myImg = "assets/AS3.swf";and the path of swf is correct, but it doesn't show up.UPDATE:The code I've shown above works perfectly in a Flex 3 app but the swf does not show up in a Flex 4 app. Is it because Image control has dropped the support for swf in Flex 4 ?

I have an image component:
Code:
<mx:Image x="6" y="8" id="image" />
I'm allowing the user to choose some image and load it at runtime.
Code:
image.source = "../images/temp.jpg";
Why doesn't this do anything? I just see the little error icon like you see on a website when an image cannot be found. But I definitely have temp.jpg.
