How do I set the width and height of a loaded image in Flash? Setting the dimensions immediately after requesting it does not work. The width and height remain zero.[code]If I wait a short moment and then set the dimensions, it will work.I tried listening for the Event.INIT event and Event.COMPLETE events before resizing as suggested by some tutorials. Neither of the events were triggered.[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a site that allows a user to upload an image, modify the image, and then save the image to their computer. This works fine, or at least it suits me so far. This is done by uploading an image to an empty movie clip, failcont_mc, and then exporting it as a jpeg once the user is done editing the image. The empty movie clip seems to be dimensionless, which isn't a problem.
The problem lies when the user uploads a photo that has very high dimensions. I'd like to be able to upload the image, then scale it down and keep it's aspect ratio if it's too large. I only want to be able to do this if the image is too large. For example, load an image sized at 800x600 and scale it down to fit into an area that is 500x400 while keeping it's proportions in tact.
Here is an idea of what I want in steps:
1. Upload the image into empty movieclip
2. Check dimensions of the occupied movieclip (previously empty)
3. if the dimensions are above 500x400
4. then scale the movieclip down while keeping proportions in tact
5. display movieclip
The code is made up of snippets from here and there on the internet, so don't be surprised if you see something that looks familiar. On a side note, I'd like to give credit to those who have allowed their code to be used openly. All of the code works fine, I would just like to add steps 2, 3, and 4.
Imageholder: failcont_mc
In the code, I have a big white space to give an idea of where I'd like to place the code. I assume the code is executed as it is read by the flashplayer. What I have tried so far was grabbing the width and height of the "occupied" movieclip and setting them as variables. I used these variables to determine if the width or height was the larger number. Then I used the variables to make a proportion to make sure the end dimensions of the movieclip stayed within the area.
Code:
//Allow this domain
System.security.allowDomain("http://localhost/");
import flash.net.FileReference;
// The listener object listens for FileReference events.
var listener:Object = new Object();

I am loading images into a movieClip via XML file. I was wondering if there is a way to find out the height and width of the image I am loading. I tried grabbing the movieClip's dimensions but it's only the original size of the clip before i loaded the image.
View 1 RepliesI have a text field that is assigned some HTML text which alongside the text itself also contains an "img" tag for displaying an image.I also am resizing the interface based of the dimensions of the text field and the problem that I have is that the interface resize needs to occur after the image has been loaded in the text field.I haven't been able to find an event of the TextField class for this.
View 2 Repliesi have a flash site im working on, with an image gallery. the way the site is designed, when you enter into a gallery, while it's loading the images (lets say 5-10 images), it draws 5-10 gray boxes in the exact spots the images will load into.
the trick is i need to know in advance how big the gray boxes should be (width/height) before the image is fully downloaded.
i found this site: [URL]
but the way he wrote this, as soon as the class determines the images dimensions, it cancels the download.
i'd rather have a fully complete image class that downloads images, dispatches events with the image dimensions as SOON as theyre detected, and fully downloads the images as well.
Right now, my loaded swf works fine and is loading in the correct spot, but it is too large so i need to set the dimensions. I am loading it in through a movie clip also.[code]...

View 8 RepliesMy goal is to do various things to a movieclip (zoom out with an alpha change) that has a jpg loaded into it. My thought is that I can load any jpg into the movieclip, and it will follow the commands made to the movieclip (i.e. zoom / alpha change).I am at the point where I am setting up the movieclip properties. Some of the questions I have are: is it possible to constrain the movieclip to a particular dimension, regardless of the jpg size. The jpg would then, ideally, need to be told to center within the movieclip, and the excess picture be cut off. Here is what I have so far: [code]For some reason the mc will no longer show up, and the traces come up as unvalid when I add the width and height dimensions, otherwise the picture will load, but at its original dimension.I was wondering if there was a tutorial explaining some of the concepts of mc's and loading images.
View 1 RepliesHow can I get a jpeg that loads with the loadmovie command to fit to the dimensions of a movieclip that is being used as its "place holder"? Also if this image starts off initially at a much larger resolution than the place holder movieclip and therefore has to be shrunk down to start with, what happens when browser window is then resized to a larger window? (i.e the whole flash movie is enlarged). Will the image be stretched from the size it has been shrunk down to or will it still reference that external file? So if the image was larger than the site would ever need it to be would it look the best quality at all times?

This always traces the width/height of the content of the external crossball.swf file, not its stage dimensions. So let's say crossball.swf has a document size of 200 by 200 pixels and in it is a shape of 115 by 30 it will trace the last as the width/height of 'container'.Is there any way to get the stage dimensions of an externally loaded swf through moviecliploader?

I'm using the following code to load images into a gallery through xml. The native resolution of the files is relatively high (though fits well on my 1920 x 1200 pixel display).

I have been searching in forums and I couldn't find an answer so I thought maybe I should ask.
I wrote a script that allows user to select a local file, which gets resized if it exceeds the width/height limits I specified, and finally this file gets uploaded to the server.
In documentation it writes the same max sizes for BitmapData and Loader:
Quote:
In AIR 1.5 and Flash Player 10, the maximum size for a loaded image is 8,191 pixels in width or height, and the total number of pixels cannot exceed 16,777,215 pixels. (So, if a loaded image is 8,191 pixels wide, it can only be 2,048 pixels high.) In Flash Player 9 and earlier and AIR 1.1 and earlier, the limitation is 2,880 pixels in height and 2,880 pixels in width.
So what I need is to check the file size (width and height) before I attempt to load the bytes of the file into a loader. I'm limited to the ByteArray that I get by the load of the file via a FileReference instance.
Has anybody seen a source where you can get that data out of a ByteArray prior to loading it into a DisplayObject?
