I import Jpeg or any other images into flash , and I can click on it in the library and see the image, but when I bring it onto the movie scene, I just see the squares and the image is faded, it seems like it has brought the opacity of the image all the way down to zero , no matter what image type I save I get the same result, PNG, BitMap, GIF , is there anything I gotta do in preferences ?
View 1 RepliesI have loaded an external swf in my main movie, the swf is a picture gallery which loads images from an XML file. The directory structure is as below[code]...
When i run the main movie, it is looking for the Thumbs folder in the root folder. How can i make the images load from the subfolder?
Do i need to change the relative path in the XML?
I am trying to load an external swf slideshow that uses xml to load images, but the images wont show...if I look at the stand alone swf file they show up fine...Is it a matter of xml image path? why I cant show the images when the slideshow swf is loaded into my main swf?

Then, after loading a list of images from an XML file, I call a function that I called "createImages". This function then takes the list of images and creates a bunch of loaders:

So far, so good! I now have a bunch of loaders each with a different name "img1","img2","img3" etc.

View 1 RepliesI can get by and make nice flash sites, but I'm still learning what goes where and am still borrowing code to get by.I've laid the problem out in some detail as I am sure that will save a lot of questions later on, but feel free to ask if you want more info.Problem is as follows: I've built a two scene flash site using open source code for the preloader scene:[code]The main scrolling menu scene works great when it's a one scene movie and the preloader code works fine with a load of other sites I've built, but when I put them together on this site (the code for the scrolling menu precludes the addition of a preloader directly into that scene so separate scenes are a necessity) everything goes to pot.When testing the site (both as a standalone SWF file and when embedded in an HTML file) the preloader works fine and the main scene appears correctly, but when you click on any button to move back or forth along the menu/timeline it jumps and jerks along very roughly and stops short of its designated point.
This causes the whole scene to fail as the designated timeframe for each button contains a movie instance that won't function until the specific timeframe is reached.It's odd behavior and I'm stumped as both chunks of code work fine separately.I've even tried a much simpler preloader that doesn't display percentage or anything, it just cycles between frame one and two until the movie loads and then plays it (just like this one, but with no bells or whistles).Unfortunately my lack of actionscript knowledge prevents me from even finding a simple term to sum up the problem so I've failed to find any similar issues on any forums or Google.
I'm putting together a website in Flash CS4, and my Actionscript knowledge is pretty minimal. The site has a portfolio section with a scrollbar, which I modified from a downloadable example I found here: http:[url]...The prewritten code uses xml to import the thumbnails into the scrollbar- all of this is fine and working beautifully so far. What I'd like to do is to have each thumbnail act as a button, so that when clicked, you jump to another page/frame on the timeline. I see that it's very straightforward to either open a 'full' image or to go have the thumbnail take you to an html page, but is there a command that can go into the xml text that will simply take you to another spot on the timeline?
View 3 Replieswhy I can't draw over impoted images? I've animated something on paper and scanned in the frames. When I import them to flash it either deletes the line as soon as I draw it, or if I create a new layer the drawing stays in all frames, not just one.
View 3 Replies've been building some website in pure flash with as2, where index.html is only a 100%x100% swf movie without any marginsi didn't expect there was supposed to be a gallery but oh well. our client decided that he wants to have some gallery in his flash website. this of course wouldn't be a problem if the swf weren't scaled but it unfortunately is so everytime it loads an image it is, of course, sacled up/down which produces a really ugly pixelated image (because nobody would want to have his gallery images scaled up 2 times)if i knew there was going to be a gallery, i would export it into html with "match movie" dimensions and dynamically reposition all the objects in the swf but i didn't. and i don't have time to rebuild the damn site againso i'm asking, is there any option for a loaded image that it would not get scaled up/down while the swf(browser window) is? or a variable that tells at how much % is the movie scaled in the browser?(so i could re-scale the images inside flash) i know there is probably not but i'm really desperate

View 4 RepliesI had CS5 v11.0.0.xxx. I had the problem. I have just upgraded to CS5 v11.0.2.489. I have the same problem. I imported a series of images in CS5 v11.0.0.xxx to the stage. I saved the file and reopened it.The images were gone in the stage. They were corrupted in library as well.
I imported the same images in Flash 8. I saved the file and reopend it in Flash 8 without a problem. I reopened the file in CS5 v11.0.0 and CSv11.0.2 without a problem. I saved the file to CS4 format and reopened the new CS4 file in CS5 without a problem. I saved the file to CS5 format (both compressed and uncompressed) and reopened the new CS5 files. The problem is still there.
You can download the Flash 8 version of the file here in my dropbox.[URL]...

Question: How do I (assuming it is possible) animate a drawing (gif, jpeg, png, whatever) I drew outside of flash. I have some monsters I have drawn and would like to animate them for a flash game I am creating. I've looked around and done a lot of searches, but I cannot find any answers or tutorials. It is probably because I am not using the right keywords. One similar to this that already has a lot of detail, but can still have the limbs animated with the bone tool or weapons even. When I try it seems I have the entire square image and can't use the weapon shape. Note: I am new to flash and have only gone through the first 14 tutorials on this site,which rocks btw

View 2 RepliesI'm creating an image scroller in AS2 that pulls images into Flash from an external folder, as determined by an XML file. The program use a MovieClipLoader to load the external images into series of empty, and temporarily invisible, movie clips that are created inside a for loop. Once the attached listener determines that the clips are all loaded, their visibility is turned on and they begin scrolling. Everything had been going fine, until I tried to add functionality to each of the four images that had been loaded. All I want to do is generate a trace statement that says "success" when I mouse over each of the four external images in the scroller. I can use that as a springboard to continue working...
Here is the problem: "Success" IS traced out upon rollover, but only once - when you roll over the last image that was pulled in from the RSS feed and into the for loop. It does not apply to any of the other images. It seems like the functionality on the other images is created but them somehow instantly destroyed or overwritten as the for loop continues to run and the MovieClipListener updates itself. But I am not sure. If this were simply a series of movie clips or images being pulled in from the Flash library, I wouldn't have this problem. However, the external images and the MovieClipLoader are confusing things.
//Start For Loop Pulling from XML File {
//create movie clip that will hold next image pulled in from XML file var cImageHolder:MovieClip = scrollerBase.createEmptyMovieClip
("imageHolder" + i + whichRow, scrollerBase.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I have a small question about the size of images imported to flash.Recently I imported a series of png images to flash CS5 to be used in an animation, 92 images to be exact. Each image was 34Kb size. Before I imported the images, the FLA was 6kb, and after I imported them the FLA was 160 MB large. Now 33Kb * 92 isn't 160 MB, so why does this happen? Is there any way to decrease the image quality or something when importing, or do I have to do that manually when creating the images?
(I used photoshop, and the images have a transparent background if that makes a difference).
I made a logo for my website in Fireworks (I tried it in Flash as well, but I couldn't create even a similar one). I imported images and made the intro part. I made a new timeline for every image and tween them the slide in, rotate, etc. At the last frame I gave my movie a "stop();" command. I'm here right now.
I would like to add a shiny effect now which slides over the logo every 4-5sec. I know I have to do some mask thing, but I'm not sure how to start. Should I select everything at the last frame and create a movie clip and then inside that movie clip create a mask? would that work this way?

I wanted that background to flow or move a bit, but I can't make a similar image in flash and if I import another image from fireworks I can't tween them. Does anyone know how to tween to similar images imported from fireworks?
I'll make a gallery of 122 images but I don't want to place each of them on the timeline
or I can't call them, they should be included in the exported .swf or .exe file I guess what I need is something like an actionscript that would call the images imported to the library is that possible or is there a gallery like that?
I have a flash file (banner ad) that uses some jpgs that I imported onto the stage. When I publish the file... It won't include the images. If the images are in the same folder as the swf.. it will work. However, just the SWF on its own will not display the images. Any ideas?
