Actionscript 3 :: Loading Image Into Flash Project Dynamically?
Jul 7, 2011
I'm trying to create an as3 project that dynamically pulls images from a database and sticks them into the framework of a flash movie that I making with this. Currently I am following a tutorial (in as2, and I am converting it to as3 as I go along) and am trying to get images to load from the same directory as the project, but I am having issues with the Loader. I am a complete newb at as3 and as such have almost no idea what I am doing,Here is the entire code from my project.
I'm working on an image gallery in Flash that plays a slideshow of different images I have on my hard drive. I've got the basics of it working, but I'm still stuck on something. If my images are in the same folder as the Flash project file or a sub-folder of it, then it works fine. However, I can't figure out how to load images from some other folder. In my case, the Flash project is located at "~/Programming/Flash/Projects/slideshow/" and the images I want to load are at "~/Pictures/Gallery/". Using a normal path didn't work so I figured I could access them with a file:// path, but that doesn't work either gives me "Error #2035: URL Not Found"). Is there a specific way you have to format the file path in Flash, or is it just not possible?
I am undergoing a huge flash project at the moment and as wondering whether or not an approach would work for something. Basically everything in the project involves loading data and movie clips dynamically in certain arrangements etc. I have built everything already bar a couple of things to create demos including dynamically loading mcs from the library etc all with as3, but now I am moving on to loading data dynamically and before I immerse myself completely I was wondering whether or not something is possible. Basically as I mouse over an mc i want a couple of things to come up which would be held in a database, such as a question and an answer, but this data will change quite frequently when the demo is up and running, is it possible for the data to be updated in the dynamic text boxes without mousing out and mousing over again? That is one of my concerns ( I have a couple ).
I had thought of maybe using a timer to query the database every 2 to 3 minutes and use php and mysql with as3 to then load the data into the text boxes, hopefully without having to mouseover the mc again and simply leaving the cursor over the mc the whole time. My main concern is whether or not I can query the database on a regular basis... using a timer method as described above, or is this simply stagnant data? i.e. can i use php and mysql in as3 to continuously query a database?
I am loading dynamically a big image into a uiLoader component. And using the following lines:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,followFrame); function followFrame(event:Event):void { var dx:int = myUILoader.x + mouseX; myUILoader.x -= dx / 10; var dx1:int = myUILoader.y + mouseY; myUILoader.y -= dx1 / 10;
I manage to make the image following the mouse just fine. But the image always off center, as the registration ponit of the uiLoader would be on the left size, even if I try to align it to the center of the stage by:
I am trying to load an image in Flex (AS3) which already exists: <mx:Image id="Img"/> With this code: Img.load('[URL]'); The path is verified to work, but I always get this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I used the code from the documentation and still receive this error!
I have a png clipart image dynamically loading into a movie clip. Is there a way in AS2 in which it would get the different color layers used in that clipart to display the color pickers related to those color layers. So that once i change the color in that color picker it would change it in the clipart as well. Basically i want flash to communicate with the png layers.
I have a gallery that reads an ms access database using asp and then loops through an array of records and duplicates an empty movieclip for each record. jpeg is then loaded into the movieclip and then a variable for the _x position is incremented and then the next one is loaded etc.I then use the same method to add the necessary labels for the images by duplicating a movieclip and adding a text fieldThis is all fine and produces a gallery of images but the problem comes when I try and position the labels according to the height of the image. I have tried every method I can think of to check the image attributes which are only available when it is fully loaded, but I keep getting a value of 0.
Code: stop(); // Set variable holding image folder path
I don't know why the swf file won't work in the flash I used loader to put the swf file into the stage but it doesn't do it.I plays fine when I just open the swf file in Flash Pro CS-4 but when I put it into a flash, it doesn't work.
I've created a short text (a word) in photoshop with the blending options I prefer and now it's all done I would like to paste it into my flash project. The problem is I can't get the text to be transparent in the flash, I always see the white background which is not very nice since the background on which the text will show is actually a picture. How to make this text transparent? In photoshop I started a new transparent project. Copying from a .GIF file also doesn't work...
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.
I would like to add a widget board to my flash project so users can embed my project in their web page or wiget display. To see what I'm talking bout go here [URL] and click the white + mark on their widgets.If your a moderater please put this in the correct area, and consider making it a sticky so we can post new ways to impliment in different sites as they become available.
I just wanted to ask if I have a project created in authorware and one more in director.I just wanted to ask can we convert authorware project in flash directly or indirectly?Or can we import authorware project and/or director project in flash.does anybody know or anybody has done this b4???
Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.
I am developing a project in Flash Builder which will load a file built by Flash CS4. The code in Flash CS4 is below, it's a doc class. I am sure the dispatchEvent has been invoked[code]...
I'm building a project that dynamically loads external images and audio into it.The images in the external folder are numbered sequentially in the order they display as you click through them (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc). No problem.There is audio that is supposed to fade in a play with certain images. (1.mp3 fades in when 1.jpg is displayed.). No problem.Here's where it gets tricky... At least for me.Not every jpg has an audio file associated with it. The last audio that was triggered needs to keep playing until another jpg with cooresponding audio file plays, at which point the two audio files need to smoothly crossfade.1.jpg displayed => 1.mp3 fades in and plays.
It's possible to load dinamically gif animation to Flash? I tried but only loads the 1st frame and was wondering if I'm doing something wromg or can't be done.
I'm trying to modify my bitmap to change their pixels to a random color. This is the way I do it (I'm using the FlashPunk library): private var _v:Point = new Point; private var _speed:Point = new Point(200, 200); private var _bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(24, 24, false, 0x000000) private var _bmpImage:Image = new Image(_bmpData); public function Player(p:Point) { [Code] .....
So ok, the function that does this is render(), but in the line graphic = new Image(_bmpData); I get new memory for graphic, and this translate into a memory leak in the game. Here is an image of this: And as you can see, the MEM: part is constantly increasing.
I have a CodeIgniter project and I made a back-office in Flex. I was wondering how I can implement the Flex project in my CodeIgniter since I'm working with routing I can't route to any directory. So there isn't a way to display the back-office.
We're using a content management system and client wants to upload videos. These videos will be for advertisers or directory listings. The videos will be converted on the fly to flv. Using flash8 flv component. Depending on the URL, I need the swf to access the correct video from a dynamically created xml file. I'm able to get the swf to recognize the current URL, and I put the URL into a variable called pageURL. Based on this URL, I need the swf to send this to the xml, with php - it will determine what video to get from database - based on the URL sent. I then need the swf file to play the correct video from the xml file.
I would like to have a flash movie load a picture as the background image of a symbol or otherwise be viewable. The picture would be referenced via a URL on another site.Example. putting in a URL ending in '.jpg' would make another object show the pic from that URL.
I have an image of a handbag. I want the user to be able to click on a fabric image and change the fabric on the handbag to whatever they selected. How to change the image texture in photoshop. Would I first have to make the change in photoshop, then somehow create a movie in flash that places those images in the .fla file. Or will flash do it all for me. That is wrapping the texture around the image each time a new one is selected.
I'd upload an image choosen by the client, but I want to wrap it in a movieclip in order to manipulate its size and color with color transform. How can I do it? (AS3 in Flash 10)
I'm using a compination of actionscript's getPixel and php's imagecreatetruecolor and imagesetpixel to generate a png image of an swf movie inside a browser. At the moment it will output a 72 dpi image at the same resolution as the swf movie, but I've been asked about the possibility of generating a 300 dpi image instead.
I have drag and drop code for my movieclips and so can manipulate them in this way. But I would like to be able to display an image depending on where the user clicks on the movie scene. What would the code be that loads an image, onClick, at the mouse X and Y?
