Actionscript 3 :: Loading In Files In Order In Flash?
Jun 16, 2011
I'm trying to load a bunch of image files for processing (to make a sprite sheet to be exact). Thusly, I need to make sure those files are loaded in order for processing (otherwise the animations become all wonky).
The code I'm using is pretty standard:
protected function onFileSelect(e : FileListEvent) : void
{
In AC2, I am trying to load .swf files in to a movie.
I know how to load them, and I can load them at random. But what I want to know is, if I have say 500 movies, named movie_0.swf movie_1.swf movie_2.swf etc...
is there a way I can load them ten at a time, in order of highest number to lowest number. In a specific location.
In other words, I want to be able to have many external swf movies, about 400px wide by 100px tall, and load 10 at a time in to a 800px wide by 1200px tall movie, 10 movies at a time, in order of highest to lowest movie name number. Each in a specific place, with a next and precious button to show the next 10 or last 10.
Im basically working on my first site, and want to use something like this so I can show my latest articles first when someone clicks on the articles section of the website.
Now resolved with AS3
PHP Code:
var loaderone:Loader = new Loader(); loaderone.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadedone); loaderone.load(new URLRequest(prefix + totalfiles-- + ".swf")); function loadedone(one:Event):void
I want to play 4 external swf video files so that the first video (intro) plays only once and the rest 3 play in a loop after the first one. So this is the code i'm using in the swf loader file:
We are trying to build a site with these features:
Our site will be built in Actionscript 3.
1. A navigation menu that, when a button is clicked, will scroll the site quickly to a specific Y position using swfaddress.
2. The entire site is controlled by a flash scroll bar, which will be scrolling a single movieclip. The movieclip will load multiple swfs one by one that correspond to the navigation, in order, making the site appear to be very tall.
**What we are in need of is understanding how to load multiple swf files into a movie clip, in a specific order, and having them scroll between one another through the navigation.
A great reference to this is the SWFC Shanghai site. If you google it and click on a link, you'll see this effect.
Current error: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method load.
AS3:
//XML Loader var myXML:XML = new XML(); myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
1. A navigation menu that, when a button is clicked, will scroll the site quickly to a specific Y position using swfaddress.
2. The entire site is controlled by a flash scroll bar, which will be scrolling a single movieclip.
2A. The movieclip will load content corresponding to the navigation categories, all which is organized into zipped files (using this to extract the contents of each section, example: about.zip for the about section of the site)
2B. The movieclip will load multiple zipped files one by one that correspond to the navigation, in order, making the site appear to be very tall.
**What we are in need of is understanding how to load multiple zipped files into a movie clip, in a specific order, and having them scroll between one another through the navigation. The separate navigation categories can be in movieclips instead of zipped files if that is easier.
Here is a reference of something that works like this: [URL]

iam streaming my web cam to FMS .... i have got a latency of 1 -2 second,,,,,, What should i do to reduce the latency,,,,,, is ter any change i can make in FMS files(xml files) in order to reduce the latency......
I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.
I have been trying to get this site to work with rollovers and am frazzled. I finally was able to figure out how to make rollovers in flash, however, they roll to the right, which is where my movie loads into.URL...Is there a different code I should/can use to make it so that the links/rollovers appear on top of the movie that I'm loading in??
I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?
I am using a content loader through AS3 to load some images and then later pushed into an array. I have pushed my image file paths in to an array (arrayImages). But when the loader loads the images it doesn't load the images based on the order they are listed in the arrayImages, instead they were loaded based on their file sizes. Is there anyway that these can be loaded in the order they were pushed to the array? Below is the code that i use to load the images.
function funcLoadImages() { for (var i:uint=0; i<arrayImages.length; i++) { var ldrImageLoader:Loader=new Loader(); ldrImageLoader.load(new URLRequest(arrayImages[i]));ldrImageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,pushLoadedImagetoAnotherArray); } }
Since URLLoader is async, how to make sure the order of data from server side is the same as the loader.load() call? In other words, the data order in totalResults is the same order of url-related content?
Following is code snippet:
1.for each(var url in urls) { loadData(url); } 2.private function loadData(url:String):void {
Im loading in tumbnails from an XML. Now they appear in a random order, i want them to be in the order they are in the XML file.
Quote:
thumbNails_xml.onLoad = function() { var listenerArray:Array = new Array(); var tempArray:Array = thumbNails_xml.firstChild.childNodes; var tnLoader_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
I noticed something after executing my slideshow. The images aren't showing in the order they are in the XML (and that MUST be in order).[code]The problem resides in the fact that Event.COMPLETE when loading images add probably images in the order they are LOADED and not LOADING. Is there a method which will make them add in the order they are called?
I have a problem with loading images. The images are loading random wise whats the problem with the code.When i trace the url its displaying randomwise.
ActionScript Code: private function createContainer():void { for (var i:Number = 1; i<=myXML.images.length(); i++) {
I have one main stage in Flash 8 where I am loading different swf's into a main movie clip. And since some of swf's are bigger then others they are loading randomly. I would like to know is there a script that can put some of the swf's on hold and load them as the scipt tells in which order?
In my scenario i would like to place them to load in some order in my main movie clip.
I am relativley now to flash, but I have basic scills to do some basic stuff.
I try to load 4 pictures. Loading is fine but the order is reverse.This is the code:
function showThumbnail(id:String, xmllist:XMLList):void{ var pics:XMLList = xmllist.(@name == id).*; for each(var i:XML in pics.pic){ var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The "I" is the picture index. I think the order should be 1.png 2.png 3.png 4.png just like the order of the xml ~~This is the output:
I have this script that is working fine.I have some some buttons which when clicked load a .txt file aswell as load an image into a picHolder.However i want it so when the page loads the home.txt is already loaded (at present i have to click the button)
info2 is a function for a button which contains other functions which need to be performed before the button(infomc) becomes invisible. At the moment, it becomes invisible first before any of the functions on info2 begin.
I'm loading some images within a gallery but I have a trouble.. They appear backwards.. the last one on the xml is the first one shown.. I guess the problem is caused by onLoadInit.. which resizes each images and then place it on stage.. if i make a trace of "i" inside onLoadInit, always give me the last number of "i" (eg. "28"... 28 times)
I'm currently doing up my flash gallery and there something bugging me.I'm using XML to load my images dynamically and would like the images to appear in a horizontal manner.
image1 - image2 - image3 - image4 etc.
however, everytime i run the swf, the order of the images are randomized.
Code: Select allvar portraiture_images:XMLList; var portraiture_total:Number; var container_portraiture:MovieClip;[code].....
as my images are of different width, I made use of the imageWidth variable to keep track of where the X co-ordinate should be for the next image.
i would like to change the order in wich the kirupa photo gallery script worksnow: fading out old image => loading new image (with loader) => fading in new imagei would like to have this changed in:loading new image (while old image can still be seen) => fading out old image => fading in nex image.
I dont know if i have seen this somewhere or i imagined it but if you have a gallery of some sort and lets say your thumbnails are sequenced in one line from left side of the screen to right.
At the beginning, when you are loading the page first time, and all thumbs have to load one by one, with preloader or not -> is it possible to control thumb loading order, so that they load from left to right, and not appearing by some random sequence...
I dont know if i have described it well, but maybe somebody understood me
I'm building a an multimage gallery. Almost everything is working well but a malignant fate that is making the images load in a shuffled random order. Everytime that I click each gallery button it gives a new sequence. If I was a poet I would say that it has no order just like the unpredictable chaos of a party in a drunk anarchist's whorehouse. (and if I was a poet I would not write what I wrote. Whatever!) The array that store the images URLs is showing a proper order. So it makes me think that the problem is on the onClickButton function, but I'm not sure.
I have a movie on stage that acts as a button using the code. person_mc.buttonMode = true;
I load an image onto the stage from my library using addChild(holiday);
What happens is that the person_mc button I have on stage will not function anymore, because I am presuming it is underneath the holiday pic when I loaded it using addChild.
How do I load the holiday pic, so that it is underneath the person_mc?
I know I could do what I did with holiday using addChild for the person_mc, but I do not want to do it that way.
