IDE :: Loader Class Still Confined To 2880 Pixels In One Dimension
Feb 21, 2009
I'm making a pokemon clone, mostly for the learning / instructional value. I've had little trouble loading in my tilesheet for the maps, but recently I decided to use a different sheet. Lo an behold, the data loads, but an Event.COMPLETE never fires, and if I look into the contentLoaderInfo, I see the data is null. However, it's only with the one tilesheet I want to use! Other sheets load just fine. It turns out, the issue is that the tile sheet was originally 256 x 15008. With flash 10, we're supposed to be able to work with bitmapData of max 8000-something in one dimension.
So I redistributed the sheet to be within the 8-thousand limit. Again, it failed to load. It wasn't until I got both of the dimensions within 2880 that it actually loaded. Thus, while we're supposed to be able to edit huge bitmaps, apparently the Loader class still can't load an image with a dimension greater than 2880? 2880 is the previous (flash 9) limit on a bitmap data. My sprite sheet is a png 24. So there's a chance this is just a png thing, but I did try to save it as a gif and load that... it fired a complete but it was completely blank once it was loaded in.

I have a class (ImageLoader) that extends Sprite container and loads an external image to its instance. When i instantiate an object of this class from another (Main) class i want to have the dimensions (width, height) of the loaded image being known to this (Main) class. It seems that is difficult for me as the dimensions are known after the image compete loaded. But i don't know how to pass this information from completeHandler event handler to the Main class.
package

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

The issue I'm having is that I have a main "wrapper" 100x100 (but it could be any size) - it's just there to hold and display whatever content, swf, gif, etc we may want to throw into it. As long as the loaded content doesn't have 3D animation like rotationY going on, it displays fine. But when it does, the 3D "anchor" properties (like projectionCenter) of the loaded swf inherit those of the main timeline (i.e. 100x100 (main) vs 728x90 (loaded)). If I change the dimension of the main "wrapper" in Flash IDE to match what's coming in - the 3D behaves fine, but I won't know what the dimensions of the content will be until it comes, so I need a way (if there is one) to dynamically alter the main "wrapper" or root display object through AS. Stuff like "this.width = loader.width" or "stage.width = loader.width" or "root.width = loader.width" etc doesn't work. Flex has the hBox and vBox

so instead of the pixels being dissolved, the pixels being added? :
ActionScript Code:
var Anim:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(blackbox);
Anim.startTransition({type:PixelDissolve, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:1, easing:None.easeOut, xSections:35, ySections:35});
basically what i would like is the end point to be the start point and the start point the end point.

I have a swf file that loads into my main movie, and within that swf there is a masked image that i would like to scale using zoom in and out buttons and also by using a slider bar.However i cant find any tutorials that will allow me to combine the two.I have used the following code for the buttons. Which seems to work ok but i would like it to be a little smoother. (using speed or some sort of easing??)
ActionScript Code:
zoomPlus.onRelease = function(zoomIn) {
if (test_shirt.shirt._xscale == 400 && test_shirt.shirt._yscale == 400) {[code]....
but for this code it keeps shrinking my initial object down to 10 pixels by 10 pixels..

I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.

I have large JPGs or PNGs which ever suits you...and they seem to be getting cut off at 2880 pixels wide...all of my jpegs are 3360 x 2160 and obviously the width is theproblem....using the loadMovie method does not work...it cuts off at 2880...using movieClipLoader with loadClip does the same thing

I am using bitmapData and bitmap classes to render a mouse cursor on the display screen. The bitmapData consists of an area whose colors should be inverted according to the background color. This is a very basic thing which could be observed with text cursor(the vertical line with two small horizontals on top and bottom), when moved over the text area. want to be able to do the same with the pixels in my bitmapData, is there a way to find out the background color effectively and invert the color values? In this process i will be redrawing the whole pixels, is there any other efficient way to do that ?

I have a client that would like a Flash animation that's 5440 pixels wide, to span 3 widescreen monitors for a tradeshow presentation. Flash won't let me make the stage any bigger than 2880 - does anyone know any ways around that limit?I Googled it and found out that you used to be able to scale the SWF beyond 2880 in an HTML file, and it would show well using Flash Player 7, but apparently that trick no longer works in Players 8+.Any other ways to make a single SWF that can span 3 large monitors?

My artist drew a beautiful island but it's 5000 in width. We scroll it as it's for a Virtual World. - it's in layers and we scroll the different layers at different speeds. Flash documentation states that the limit is 2880 BUT it does work in the player i.e.: you can see the full island but it does run a little slow.
Should I
a. Create a smaller island of 2880 which is a shame as I would have to get rid of a lot of good stuff
b. Split it into two images and dynamically connect them with code.
Also, I have different layers scrolling at different speeds which would make things more difficult to look natural.

After adapting loads of code from load of different places, I've ending up with this code.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var constraints:Rectangle = new Rectangle(text123.width/2, stage.stageHeight/2, 0 ,text123.width - text123.height);
[Code].....
I cannot get this movieclip to only drag vertically, and not be contained by the stage. I'm trying to create a masked, non-scrollbar, scrollable text.

I've found a similar thread to this but my problem's a little different.I've never used the drawing function on Flash and I followed the fairly simple tute on it just recently.Is there any way to confine the drawing area to a specific shape. Mine's a rectangluar shape that's rotated. You can download my FLA with the background image here > url...I'd like to try and keep it confined to the notepad area.I think it might be a hitTest thing with if/else. My other thing would be to just rotate the notepad so that it's straight.Even still i'd like it confined to the area beginning with the corner of the notepad, not the corner of my movie.

I have created a drop menu, with a nice little transparency. I have also set up the buttons to link to other SWF files and load them into a loader on the page. My problem is that the loader sits above the drop menus, so when you go to click on the menus they drop down behind the loader and you can't see them. Is there away of sending the loader to the back of the flash work? Maybe using a sprite, not that I have had much experience with sprites.
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.x = 10;
my_loader.y = 40;

my application needs to load an swf into something that looks and acts like a video player. so you can scrub through the parts that are loaded and see the progress of the load. im not using any pre-fab video components, but to make it work i need to know which frames are loaded and i need to be able to skip to them.
1) to know how many frames are loaded (not bytes!) and
2) to be able to skip to a loaded frame before the movie finishes loading.
it seems to me that using the Loader class you can do neither. sure, you can check progress with bytesloaded (not useful to me) but you cant do ANYTHING to the swf, programmatically, until it is fully loaded! am i wrong about this?
[Code]...
if you look at the comments in the code above you see my problem. if i cant see which frames are loaded or skip to them before the movie is finished loading, the user has to wait until the movie is done loading before they can start no navigate and i can't show them a meaningful loading progress bar like they have on video players (bytes doesnt tell me how much "time" is loaded)
am i the only one who thinks its crazy that in flash, which is all about showing content quickly while it loads, you cant do anything with the swf until its complete? am i missing something or is this a real limitation?

I just made a scroll area with buttons and draggable items. All the code is written for vertical scrolling, the content I need to be scrolled is going to be horizontal. how can I rewrite this code to be horizontal scrolling? it seems like the scroll button (the one you drag along) doesn't stay confined to its scroll line either.

I am making an application where I load a picture from the web at a rate of once per second. When I load a new picture I unload the old one the problem is that the old pictures are never completely erased from memory and the application keeps on consuming more and more memory until I'm guessing it eats all the memory in the cache (I haven't run it for that long yet :))
here is the code: what this does is load a picture when you click the screen, then unloads it when you click the picture. do it a few times and notice that the numbers (which show System.totalMemory) only go up but never go down to their original amount...
Code:
var url:String = "http://www.memorycity.com/shop/MBB/images/GIGABYTE_memory.jpg";
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onclick)
var txt:TextField = new TextField()

I have a flash rotating banner script that I purchased, and wish to incorporate into my homepage. Instead of creating a page with HTML and adding the banner code as a separate object on the page, I wish to load it as an external swf into a movieclip on my stage. This is what the banner looks like:

I have a page that I'm redesigning, it's located at:

I have a movieclip named load_banner. Inside the movieclip in its own frame, I put in the following code:

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;

However when I test it, the images load off to the right hand side of the screen, not centered in the movie clip like I want...

I'm trying to load images using the loader class but it doesn't seem to ever trigger the complete event (in this case anyway). The images are only 16x16px images from the local machine, so it should take no time at all to load. I use the totalImages variable as a counter; as an image is loaded, it subtracts 1 from it. Once it is 0, all images are loaded. I can create an instance and it goes as far as tracing "Begin loading images", but that's it. No errors in the console either.
PHP Code:
package lib{
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Frame extends Bitmap{

I'm working with Loader class in as3 and there comes some really strange problem. I have two swf files, one loading the other. In the first one, I have codes like this:
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var context:LoaderContext=new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain=ApplicationDomain.curren tDomain;
var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Untitled-1.swf");
loader.load(req);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE,onCPL);
function onCPL(e):void{
trace("finish");
addChild(e.currentTarget.content);
}
And the second one, with the name "Untitled-1.swf", doesn't seem to work in the first one. I find out that as long as there are ANY codes in the second swf file, the first one will repeat tracing "finish" endlessly.

I have a "master" SWF file into which I load content (other SWFs) via the Loader Class (with code below).
var contentLoader:Loader = new Loader();this.contentContainer.addChild(contentLoader);I load the content (these other SWFs) into a MovieClip container on the stage called "contentContainer". The "contentContainer" is much smaller than the "master" SWFs stage and also much smaller than the original size of the SWFs that the Loader is loading in. Also, and this is very important, the "contentContainer" itself is sized -- not scaled -- (see code) and placed on the stage depending on how large the stage is scaled (I am trying to make one of those "liquid stage" flash sites that fills the browser window with flash content regardless of window size).//this resides in a function that is called whenever the stage RESIZE Event is fired
