Importing Large Images Fails
Jul 25, 2009
I use Flash primarily for animation. The project I'm working on currently is a hefty 1920 X 1080 square pixel file and currently weighs in at 187mb because of all the sounds and jpg images.It's 2 minutes long.
The problem occuring is new to me as I've never worked with projects this long or in this resolution. Or with this much data (sound effects, jpgs, etc).
The problem is this: I'm trying to import a high resolution photograph (3500x2500) onto the stage or even just in the library. I'm using the photos to get an idea on where the final animation will be placed (photo backgrounds, flash animation, composited in After Effects, think Roger Rabbit).

There was this problem with CS4 which was solved with an upgrade and now CS5 again fails to compile my larger FLAs. Sad to see the IDE going backwards.

I built an uploader which works fine on decently sized files.
When I upload say a 2mb picture however, everything appears to be working fine - all the progress indicators, on completes operate as usual.... but then the file never shows up on the server?
I realize this is pretty vague, lacking code examples, but I just wanted to kind of put a general question out there, see if anyone suspects anything right off the bat..
ie, is it maybe something more wrong with my server? flash dosent have some upload limit i dont know about?

I'm currently using XML to import geo-location data to my flash application.Even though my XML scheme is about as small as can be, I still feel i would do better downloading the variables as text and exploding them. If i manage to change the xml to raw text I can compress the data to about 35% of the original size.I want to load the data in the form a_b_c_d-e_f_g_h.So, to the question; how do I explode a datastring in flash?

I'm importing a large text file and trying to print it with a footer. My method for all of this is very simple. I'm dynamically creating a sprite container that is fed to the the printjob() class. Inside that I'm creating a dynamic text field and scaling it to the right page height/width (408x574) and adding a footer below that.
Using a loop, I'm scrolling the text field to the top of the next page and adding the page number to the footer and adding the page to the job. Mostly, this works fine, but I'm noticing some lines from the text field are not printing. This happens at the page breaks and is not consistent across different printers I use.

When I run the flash player (from flashdevelop) the images are loaded and everything is fine.But when I run the swf from a browser the requests are sent (using chrome's tools for programers - network tab) but nothing is loaded. The size/content column shows 0/actual size of the file

I found this bug in Flash 8, so I just downloaded CS5.5 trial and I see the same problem. When I increase the image export resolution to get a larger image, at one point the lower section of the image became white (the image has the appropriate size but the content is not rendered in the lower section). As bigger is the image, larger is the white fraction. The amount of useful pixels always stay around 10 or 13 megapixels. Here some examples:Original image was 3375x6710 pixels in the left one and 2625x5219 en the right one.

I'm having an issue where when I try to print a larger image via printjob one of two things happens. One either the job fails or two the output of the image is literally diagonally cut off. I am simply passing the stage to the print job. I've tried both with and without using printAsBitmap.

I'm creating a movie object using images. I'm using PNG file types with an alpha channel. Each frame is approx 640 x 480, each single pitch image is 36 frames creating an image 23040 x 480. If it's a multidimensional image it is 23040 x 11520. I load the image in using "img_name".loadMovie("imageFileName", 1);
The problem is it only seems to load around 2880 pix of the image.
How can I get it to load the whole image? How can I choose it to load the next section of the image?

I have this code which works fine when selecting a small number of images.
public var fileReferenceList:FileReferenceList;
public function browseFiles(event:Event = null):void
{
[Code]....
However, when selecting a large number of images (1000+), the fileList isn't initialized yet when the SELECT event is dispatched. Is there a way to wait for the fileList to be initialized?

I have some pretty large PNG images stored in a database (example 1000x15000 px, 4.5MB). I am trying to load this using the Loader class...the problem I am having is when I call load(), nothing happens. No events, no errors.I can take the same image and embed it. As long as as I set the height to less than 8000px it works fine. If I convert the embedded image to a ByteArray and try to load it, nothing happens.

Here is an example online, I am trying something similar but am not happy with what I am seeing, perhaps it is just on my side. The scrolling seems choppy/jagged. I have this same issue doing a similar scroll with lots of big images. Is there any way to get a nice smooth scroll at a decent speed with flash?
Ive ported my as2 code into as3 but am seeing the same results. I have used tweener and tweenlite, nothing Ive tried is helping. how to achieve a smooth scroll?

I'm building a flash based site for my photography in Flash CS3 with actionscript 2. The swf is almost 700kb so I guess I'll need a preloader right? I thought I could create a preloader scene before the main content scene and apply the following code to the single frame within the preloader:
Code:
ifFrameLoaded ("website", 3){
gotoAndPlay ("website", 1);
}
This doesn't seem to work as the large images in my gallery (contained within a movie clip) won't load unless you leave the gallery page then go back in?

I am attempting to capture a very large image that was made dynamically within the Flash Player (the size of the image is 2400px by 12,000px) and am running into some very serious issues... Let me run down how the image get's to that size in the first place:
User adds elements to a canvas and then when the user is finished the canvas scales up to 2400px wide and ~12,000px tall. The problem arises when I attempt to save the image to the hard drive. Now, I dont know if this will affect the recommended fix, but the rendered image wont be saved on the hard drive, it will be sent to a server. I know about the ~4050px limit in Flash Player and was thinking I could get around that by clipping the images with the ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData() method and keeping the required Rectangle variable below 4000px then repeat that down the large image until it reaches the end where the final images will be pieced together at a later time. However... As i mentioned the error comes when it reaches the 'fileReference.save(pngImage);' method..

I am creating an image gallery and it has a set of scrolling thumbs at the bottom and when clicked it opens an image that is the large version of it. What i would like to do is have the scrolling thumbs inside a black stroked box using the drawing API and when clicked it opens that image larger with another black box around that image. I know you have to use the drawing API but I have no idea on how to implement it at all. Also is there any chance each image could have a preloader on it.[code]...

I've recently picked up some flash work after a long respite into motion graphics via after effects, and I'm slowly mucking my way through things. I've currently got more than 250k pixels I need to seamlessly scroll through horizontally, via a scrollbar and buttons. I've bitten off more than I expected! I've been searching around, and it seems like tile based scrolling is what I'm going to need, due to max bitmap restrictions, is this correct?
If I'm on the right track here, I throw myself on the mercy of the community for any tile-based scrolling resources out there that you know of, something that explains the idea and setup from a non-game point of view maybe? Sorry if I seem like another noob looking for a quick fix, I've honestly been trying to find info on this all morning. Also, feel free to smack me into shape if I'm making this harder on myself than necessary.

If I am to import an image and I wish to use it as a sprite or something like that; How do I remove the white areas? For example, if I was going to create a custom cursor or something like that, an I was to use this image: Image - how would I remove the white areas, so that they are transparent. I would also like to know if it is possible to set where the center of rotation in an image is?I do all my image work on Photoshop, if that is of any significance.

I have an all flash website that works by having each portion of it to load and unload in the center of a frame based off the navigation chosen.Load times on everything but one part of my site are ok.The dimensions of the part inside the frame are 968x674.I know that's relatively large for a flash file, but that can't be changed at this point.Within the page there are objects that come up when you find an item on the screen.Its a dialog box and it shows text, an image, and has a voice over that reads what the text says.After you're done looking at it, there is an x-button to dismiss the window.There are 15 of these and they are exported to the actionscript.I add them in the actionscript via addChild.
The other huge thing is there is a ton on the screen.It starts you off in an environment, and when you click 3 different sections, it zooms into that portion allowing you to look for the items you're trying to find.There is also a man that talks and animates in the beginning and at the end.We are planning on taking out the end part and putting a text box up. URL...The two parts of the site we are trying to optimize is the main menu when you first are at the site, and the "Explore" section.(Just click on the cloud on the front page.

I am creating a Flash site for a client who wants to display many (about 15) fairly hi-res photos as well as a video. I am using the Video class to display and control the video, and the Loader class to load the photos. I preload them from an XML file up front, while "loading..." is displayed.
The video plays immediately after the loader finishes, and the user can also choose to view the slideshow, which has left/right arrows which show each photo with a simple fade tween between each one.
The problem I am having seems to be that when all these assets are loaded, the video and the "fade" effects are very choppy. If I cut down on the number of photos, everything works fine; but I have to include all of them, plus the video.
I am storing all the Loader instances in an array, and when they are requested, I add them to the stage and fade them in. When it finishes fading in I remove the previous one from the stage. So they are all stored in Flash's "memory", but there is only one Loader or Video instance on the stage at any given time. Is there a better way to handle this? Perhaps some way to cache the images but not bog down Flash's memory? I would prefer to have everything loaded up front in order to avoid needing a "loading..." for every slide.

We build prototypes and demo applications in Flex 4.5.1 and AIR 2.7 for mobile and desktop use. These tend to involve a large number of full-screen .PNG files. Lately we have been looking at ways to segment our code for flexibility and multi-screen re-use. What suggestions do people have for segmenting the project and libraries such that compile times are minimal and images are easy to replace?

I have a photo gallery that is XML based. In IE everything works fine. In Firefox, the gallery will load all the thumbnails and then hang up when loading the large image. The trouble is this only happens on the galleries that have a lot of images in them. It works fine with smaller galleries. Since it's xml driven, the images are not loaded until called for and all the thumbnails get loaded. I did see a post about a var being collected for garbage if it's defined inside a function, but I've tried to limit that to just declaring a new image to be displayed. My site is: [URL]. If for some reason you get a page saying that this site is under construction, click the link to the gallery again. I don't know why that keeps bringing up an old page.

i've got a few vector images of fruits and breads that i exported as SWF in Illustratorwhen i imported the bread vector file into Flash, for example, the gradient portions of it becomes a fuzzy bitmap while the solid-fill areas are retained as vectors.don't understand why this is happening i've had no prob importing gradient vectors into Flash before, but somehow this lot of gradient vectors are turning into bitmaps instead.

I am building a portfolio site which dynamically loads large hi-res images when the user clicks on a thumnail. However I'm having problems maintaining the original image's quality when resizing it to fit the current browser. Currently I'm just adjusting the width & height properties of the image to width to the stage proportionally which is working fine getting it to fit, however I cannot figure out how to maintain image quality? Do I need to load it as a bitmap and redraw/smooth or something similar?[code]
