Professional :: Mask UILoader Content?
Aug 8, 2011
I'm creating a UI which utilizes UILoader component to load content that I won't have control of.The "window" where I want content to appear is 950 x 420. Doing a simple test, I created a .swf with a stage size that matched, but with content bleeding over the edge of the stage.To ensure users only see what's on the stage of the loaded content - and not what's bleeding off - would the correct action be to create a mask for the UILoader instance? Are there any alternatives to using a mask? Like a property or something? (I didn't see anything.)

I have to dynamically load an image in 2 separate places, but I don't want to have to load the same image twice (this consumes more bandwidth and makes the user wait longer than needed).Is there a way to, say, copy the contents of a UILoader into the contents of another? I am aware that flash performs caching, but I still see a slight loading delay on subsequent reloads.I am using as3, btw, on flash cs5.

i am using flash cs3 with as3. i want to slide content of uiloader with some percentage whenever i click slide button.i have a UILoader of size 1024*768 with scaleContent=false , and the mask of size 1024*768 set on uiloader. i have an image of size 2048*768 and i load this image to uiloader, now i have a two buttons on the screen one for slide left and other for slide right.i want to slide uiloader content by 256 pixel every time the button was clicked in particular direction(depends upon which button is clicked).
currently i am working on right button only. so ignore left sliding at this point.The problem is when i clicked button first time it works fine but when i clicked the same button second time the slide of image is disturbed and it first goes 256 pixels behind zero and then slides to 512 pixels (at third click again it starts from -256 and then come at the target position) . i want to slide the uiloader contents from 256 to 512 at the second click and so on.

Is there any way of getting the size value of an image that is loaded into, and scaled down, a UILoader?It's not the original image size I'm looking for, nor is it the size of the UILoader, but the present size of the content of it. I found setSize, but I need something like getSize.

I have UILoader that loads images 427x240, then I thought to load an external swf dimensions 427x273. So I resized UILoader to height 273, now the images on load are positioned vertical middle, gap top and bottom, i need this to be absolute Top. How do I set UILoader loaded content to position Top?

I have picked up a uiLoader component, and copy-pasted four times, so now I got five of them in my flash movie. Each got a different source (dresses/dresses1.swf, dresses/dresses2.swf, dresses/dresses3.swf, dresses/dresses4.swf, dresses/dresses5.swf). But When I launch the movie, all the 5 uiLoaders display the same content: dresses/dresses2.swf, and I can't understand why. For a test, I have replaced the .swf file with some jpeg files, and they were ok, but as I put the swf files back they show the same content again. The sources are ok, they work perfectly separately, so I can't figure out what is the reason why the swf files are loaded incorrectly..

I have changed the UILoader box position for different labeled frames. But the UILoader keeps loading the content at the same place, no matter what the content I ask him to load. If I move the UILoader at the middle of the page, the content still loads / appears on top of the page as if the UILoader

I've started with a new Flash file and wanted to toy around with loading images and resizing the UILoader to the size of the loaded image. I've added a UILoader (instance name: loadImage) component to the main timeline and added the following code in the Actions window:
loadImage.source = "bookmark.png";trace( loadImage.content );
The image displays properly after compiling and viewing the SWF. However, loadImage.content returns null, instead of the DisplayObject that contains the image. This way, trying to resize the UIloader according to the loaded image doesn't work, since I can't access variables of an object that hasn't been initialized.
All the documentation states that loadImage.content should contain the DisplayObject that's loaded after setting loadImage.source or using loadImage.load( new URLRequest( "bookmark.png" ) ) (which also has the same problem).

I was wondering how this effect is done. If you look at the jpeg you can see that the content under the menu and conent frame is blurred. Been searching for a while for this but still I cannot trick it myself.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a static mask with dynamic content (as in a picture you can zoom/pan) in ActionScript. I've seen a lot of the opposite (see here), where you have static content (like an image) and a dynamic mask on top that you can manipulate. I would like to do the opposite - have a static mask (set at some size at some area) with dynamic content underneath. So for example, a user could zoom in/drag around some content, and the display size wouldn't change, while the content would move. You could imagine Google Maps being confined to a smaller square and being able to zoom in/manipulate the map through that square, and have whitespace outside of that square.

I have a widget bar system where I�ve apparantly been a little short sighted. I�ve now made a widget that has a masked overlay effect. The problem is that the part of the effect that is outside of the mask is taken into accord. All widgets have a parent movieclip container, and the spacing between widgets are calculated by the height of this container.

I have a main flash container move that loads in multiple swf files. I created a movieclip container in the main flash container that resizes and positions according to the stage height and width as follows:
Code:
swf_width=stage.stageWidth;
swf_height=stage.stageHeight;
new_container_height=swf_height;
[Code].....
This works fine if no graphics are off the stage in the loaded swfs. Otherwise if I have a scrolling menu and the buttons out width the containing mc it takes into account the masked content width and centers the movieclip accordingly throwing alignment off.
Is there a way to ignore masked content when getting stage width and height?

I'm trying to achieve this result:[URL]... The menu stays the same size yet the background images scale proportionately. I'm assuming that the background is a uiloader?
Does anyone know the as3 code that will work for this? I've seen a very similar post on this forum, as a matter of fact I used his/her example.

Does anyone know how to create an action that will allow a text overlay to appear with the source image from a UIloader? I'm considering just editing the image itself to include the text but am hoping to reduce file size.

I'm taking a snapshot from a webcam and adding a frame around this snapshot.I add the snapshot before to load the frame from a file. How can I swap between those objects? because the frame appears at last and the snapshot appears infront. I wanna swap those in the way that the snapshot appears at last and then the frame.

I have an application written in AS3 that is loading swfs written in AS2. Most of them work fine, except for ones that contain the old AS2 accordion component. Loading one results in it working correctly, but each one that is loaded after it breaks the previous one (the content no longer shows and the mask disappears). It's not just limited to the accordion, any of the AS2 components that came with Flash Pro cause breakage. I've tried loading the swfs to separate movieclips, tried using applicationDomain, tried everything else I can think of. Rewriting the swfs in AS3 is not an option due to circumstances out of my control.

In my game currently I have a series of UILoaders which can be set to load a specific swf file inside the larger one. What Im trying to do is manipulate the 'child' swf file from the parent- in particular use the goToAndPlay() function. Im pretty sure Ive seen the solution before but I cant find it now.
How make the connection from the UILoader class to its contents as a movieClip?

I have a lot of external SWF files loading into my flash site using one UILoader on different labeled sections. I used only one UILoader component (with the same name) and then kept on scaling and repositioning it on different labeled sections. Everything worked fine until the very end for some reason some of the UILoaders jump to its own position and I can not seem to do anything about it. I can not figure out where the mistake could have been.

I'm having an issue with the UiLoader, I think. I am using a UiLoader to show the portfolio section of my website. When I click on portfolio there is nothing there. Brought UiLoader to stage from the component panel> in the component inspector I set the source to Portfolio.swf> Test movie> it works great. In dreamweaver I draged the swf from the folder panel and placed it in a table> uploaded it to the site> go to the site, and there is no portfolio section. See the site here -> [URL]. I noticed when I made changes and uploaded to the web then went to the site I have to delete internet history files to get the swf to reload. What do I do about that? Off the top of my head I thought about changing the swf name everytime I make any changes, but I'm sure there is another way.

1- is there a way to make use of any universal URL in flash ? i mean. not needing to have the full path of the target in the button since the target is in the same folder than the page where is the flash ?
2- now, thats a funny one, i can make mask to make thing appear in an animation fashion style, no probleme as with any Adobe program... however unlike all other Adobe programs, it seem i am unable to find HOW make the exact reversed result... I want to make thing disappear without using the alpha channel, because i want to make it in an animation style way. It is to use for a sub-menu, where when you click the button to open the sub-menu, you see it appear nicely and in an animated way. But when you click again the button to close it, or once you picked your choice, it close the sub-menu in the exact reverse way it was open...

I have issues with the buttons working from the SWF file which is brought into the main flash site via UILoader.
[Code]...
I gathered that it is most probably due to the fact that I have constructed a button in the improper way.I tried to redo a button but it was the same result.I would like to try to access it through the main timeline. What would be the whole block of code to put a function on the button located inside an external SWF which is called in via a UILoader?

[code]The problem is that the mask isn't applied. Now, if I just add mask_container it adds to the stage just fine. If I mask mask_container with square, it masks just fine. They're both Sprites so both are on the display list.

I saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
Load external video with playback component
But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline.It seems the mask is not working with this option.Actually it should be like the above.But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.See the layers created:

I have a problem which I can't resolve. The problem is that if I apply a mask to object, it shows up deformed in swf.Here is what I see in Flash CS5 (sorry for large images): And this is what I get when I compile it and run swf (or run it embedded in html):
It looks a little bit rotated and skewed to the left. If I copy and paste the movieclip with mask to a new flash document, the problem dissaperas, so I guess it has something to do with Flash settings. I tried to compile for Flash 10 and Flash 9, but the deformation remains. The problem is that creating a new flash document and copying all images to new one is not an option, because the project is ~80MB.Here are my publish settings.
