Professional :: Get A List Of Images From A Folder?
Mar 23, 2011
I want to create a flash app where the site owner can simply put images in a folder, and the flash app finds all the images in the folder, and will display a slide show from them.
Is there any way to list all files in a folder, so I can load them without prior knowledge of their names? I'd prefer not to have to tell a dumb customer what an XML file is and how to edit it, and also the images need to keep their original names so I can get titles for the images from the names.
I am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.0.I want to make a photo.jpg that is in my images folder load into a swf that is in a swf folder. It works fine when I have the photo.jpg in the same folder as the swf. But it does not work when I have the photo.jpg in a different folder. What must I do to the AS2 to make this happen? Here is the path: mcLoader.loadClip("swf/images/photo1.jpg",mcHolder);
I AM USING AIR FOR ANDROID. I want to get all the jpg's (or Mp3's) in a folder of an external folder ... that will be stored on the users PHONE with included in the APP.
How can I do that from FLASH using Action-script 3?[code]...
How do I import a set of images (a folder containing 10 images) into the timeline so that each picture appears in a separate keyframe? When I try to do this, all image seems to appear in a single keyframe. Or maybe this is they way to do it? I want to make a movieclip with 10 pictures showing after each other.
I'm a newbie to Flash. I'm learning how to create a flash based image gallery. How to call images from a folder to the main stage and animate the image to show for 1 second and the change to the next image as a slideshow in a loop. This is the home page of the gallery.
i am trying to create a flash movie for my browser page. i am able to import and export the movie just fine, the problem comes after i export the movie. As long as i leave the flash file in the folder it was created in things work great. If i try to move the folder or rename the folder it stops working. It acts like it cant find the flv file i created the flash with. if i rename or move the folder back where it was created things work fine.
I'm on a project where the main SWF loads some other swf file and show them. I told my boss that AS3 need the exact path and name of the file to load it, that it can't list a folder and take everything in! I'm almost totally sure I'm right ! I'm not talking about a php script that list the folder and send variable to flash.
I was wondering if it was possible to list all the files inside a specific folder using Flash 8 Action Script. Just that I have an image gallery that has all the image names in an array. What I would like to do instead is get the image names from the folder they are in. Is something like this possible without the use of a server side programming language like PHP since the flash file will not be on a PHP server.
1 is there a way to load an external mp3 file randomly from a list of files in a folder? is there a "rand" function (as in php) or something to get random numbers?
I need to list the files under a local folder on web browser(flex app). How do i change the properties of flash player so that it will browser list the files?
I have a slight issue generating a swf using the flash IDE. I can import c300 images via the 'Import To Stage' option but then the program crashes and dies as it runs out of memory.
Is there a way to create a swf by reading a folder of images? PHP is a possibility but the swf capabilities are limited.
I'm not sure what's going on...basically, I have a flash file that loads images from a xml file and this works fine without any problems. But when I try to load the swf file into html, the images only load if the html file is in the same folder as the swf.I'm not sure if this is related to a problem with the xml link in the swf file or something else... this is how the xml is being called from the swf:
Code: xmlData = new XML(); xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
I'd like to tell a movie clip to look into a specific folder (via url or whatever) and load all images from that folder into the movie clip. I do not want to have to give the movie the exact address of each image, as they files may change / be added to over time.
i know in AS3 i have to use the loader class and then the addChild to put the loaded stuff into the movie (and thats all i know), but i just dont know how to get all available images blindly.
I'm working on an application where users can use their webcam to take a picture and load it to my server.They also will be able to do this from our mobile app.All images are stored to the same directory on my server.What I need to do next .. is I have a pattern of squares ( movieclips ) that makes a shape / design.I need a way to load this entire folder of images and make the individual images load inside of each of the individual movieclips that make up the pattern.I don't want to use any XML files.Is there a way to load the entire folder and then refresh the load of images every couple minutes ?
.asp, php or any script, which can count no. of image in a folder, so that i can call that value to flash.
For now, i m doing this with the text file, but i manually have to enter a value for no. of images in that text file. Instead of that, I want that my script should count no. images in that folder.
Instead of plugging the paths to each individual jpg or gif into the XML. How would I get flash to load every jpg within a folder without considering the technical stuff.
To load an external image we useCode:loader.load(new URLRequest("Pictures/image.jpg"));Can we make it load every image knowing only the folder name? Something like this (this code does not work obviously, but trying to grab all images from folder):Code:loader.load(new URLRequest("Pictures/*.*"));
I have a flash file that load an xml file and the links for a folder where I have some images that want to display with a greensock fade effect. the problem its that even the images are little, they take sometime to load because my client's internet its slow, there is a way to preload the images from the external source?
I have a really annoying slide show that shows pairs of before and after pictures. What I need is to be able to preload a folder of images and then load those images into movieClip holders. I have no idea how to get the images to preload.What I really wanted is a slide show that has pairs of images that fade from before to after. With buttons along the bottom that take you to the next pair of images. AND have all the images loaded in from an XML document. Bonus to anyone who can give me a hint on that one.Really i would settle how to preload the images while the preloader is going. And then loading the first pair of slides. [URL]

I have a little Flash header and each time it loads I want it to load one of six images randomly, onto the stage as a background... The images will be sitting in a folder in the same directory as the Flash file so they can easily be updated, anyone ever done this?
