View 14 RepliesI am creating a flash object that does some heavy image lifting. What I am looking to do is load many flash objects onto the same page to take an image, modify it, and display it within the flash object.The problem I am running into is that when I try to add 100 flex objects to the page, the browser freezes as it tries to re-load/initialize each instance.Once they are all loaded, the processing of the images goes by quick.Does anyone know how to duplicate the flash piece without having to reload everything?
View 2 RepliesI want to load some .swf files using the Loader class. I'm all set with that and got the image on screen but I wish to have multiple instances of it. Do I have to reload one for each that I intent on using?
For example say I'm attempting to load a power up's graphic from an .swf (i'll call it ex.swf). I load it and then put the image I loaded into the power up. But then I also want to have another power up of the same type somewhere else, and I want to use that same graphic. Neither adding the loaded ex.swf's contents or simply assigning the contents to a child of the power up will work obviously. So do I have to load a new copy every single time i want a new one, or can I just clone/duplicate the contents?
I mean I know it must be common for games to have 100's of copies of the same graphic being used by different things, yet If I try to preload the amount I'd need it's not exactly flexibly and if I load them as I need them it seems bad practice..

Have a flash picture slide show that fades in and out to transition from picture to picture. Would like to use a shared object so that when someone goes to the next page it will load on the picture it left of at. Should the shared object load at the last state or should it save the frame position? The movie has so many pictures that people will only see the first couple pictures every single time they change pages and never get to the end of the movie. This was made in Flash CS5

View 6 RepliesSo I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class. Which is cool, but I need something more dynamic than just sending a fixed value.So, what is the best way to connect the Loader object of the Photo object, with the EventRatio object?
View 5 RepliesI have two FLV files playing on the stage. The main FLV is instance is: MyVideothe 2nd is MyVideo2I have imported the videos using the wizard. The 2nd video is just a movie I created in Affter Effects that says...loading please wait....this is a really nice video and I don't want it to just use a standard preloader. Anyway, the goal is when the playback for "MyVideo" begins I would like "Myvideo2" to = visible = false;I have tried this many different ways and have been unsuccessful. I am obviously a newb at this. Also, does anyone know where I can get a list of all available eventListener actions...etc?
//var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
//connection_nc.connect();
//var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);

View 6 RepliesI have a simple FLA that pans through an image up/down/left/right. There are several hotspots (transparent buttons) that popup simple captions when the user rolls over them and launches a URL when clicked.
The captions are actually one caption that I dynamically write text to, size, and _x, _y locate when the rollover event occurs.
The caption (cap) is a rectangle and text box MC symbol which is grouped with the graphic and buttons as another MC symbol. It all works great, panning, captions.
The problem is, when the mouse is first moved, the caption box appears over the graphic. I want it invisible until a rollover occurs. I have tried a setup function action in the first frame that performs cap._visible = false;, which did not solve it. That syntax works fine following the first rollout.
on (rollOver) {
cap.desc.text = "Mr Reynolds";
cap._width = 7*cap.desc.text.length;

I Have the drag and drop working where you drag a text movieclip onto a picture of an object movieclip but having some problems. I know its something to do with the hitTest function but when i drop the word "cow" onto the picture of a dog it actually says this is correct by displaying the word cow above the picture of the dog when instead it shouldnt allow me to drop the text onto the picture which doesnt match.
Basically i need to know how to seperate the drag hitTest function for the DogPic/DogText so that it has its own function to detect a hit. At the moment you can see in the below code I have 1 hittest fucntion detecting both collisions when they need seperate functions I tried making a seperate function for each but it didnt work

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to do a cross-fade effect for my gallery. To do that, I'm using two movieclips, one that holds the image currently displayed, and another one that holds the image that should be displayed next. When the coming image is loaded, the cross-fade effect should happen, the container that holds the image that was on stage should be cleared out, then the image in the other container should be displaced to the former container. I'm almost there now, but I got stuck at the last part. Here's my code so far[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have an array newArray=["bird","dog","fish"] and I want to change colour of an object, so I use:
var myColor:ColorTransform = this[newArray[0]].transform.colorTransform;
myColor.color = 0xFF0000;
this[newArray[0]].transform.colorTransform = myColor;
which causes an error. if I change the array to newArray=[bird,dog,fish] without the commas it works
var myColor:ColorTransform = [newArray[0].transform.colorTransform;
myColor.color = 0xFF0000;
newArray[0].transform.colorTransform = myColor;
Why can't it read the string, I don't really want to create a new array without the commas
