I have typical situation where big loop is loading lots of images and its done asynchronous which make browser to frees during loading and I want to make it synchronous but having big trouble doing it. I found this class synchronous loader and it work great but you cant add mouse event listener to loader. Here is sample code:
[Code]...
As my first Flash project of any consequence, I've created a simple banner animation that (basically) loops over a few different images, panning and fading in/out by setting the x,y coordinates, setChildIndex, and alpha. This was easy enough to code with an ENTER_FRAME event handler and a few state variables.Here are the most relevant snippets:
// Main
// XXX - Putting addEventListener() first would
// make some sense, but I would still have

I'm having a hell of a time optimizing my loading sequence for a gallery site I'm working on. This is the way it works:
1. I load and parse an XML containing the URLs to the thumbs and large versions of the photos. - This step is fast and works the way I want.
2. I load the thumbnails in sequence jumping back and forth between two functions - one initiating loading of a thumb, and the other the event handler for that particular thumb which iterates a value, and then calls the initiating function again. I suspect this is where the major slow down happens.
3. When the iterating value has reached the same number as the number of URLs to load, the class dispatches a complete event, and all is well - except so much time has passed that no one will ever have waited to see the content ...

I want to create an array of loaded xml for the following:
ActionScript Code:
var xmlQuestions:XML = new XML();
System.useCodepage = true;
[Code].....
What I want to achieve is so I can load 5 different xmls and place them into an array. All 5 random xmls will be placed in an array then I wish to trace them
im loading multiple images but how do I make sure the program will start once all images have dispatched a complete event. like make a universal loader for all the other "small loaders" if you understand.
View 1 RepliesWhen I run the flash player (from flashdevelop) the images are loaded and everything is fine.But when I run the swf from a browser the requests are sent (using chrome's tools for programers - network tab) but nothing is loaded. The size/content column shows 0/actual size of the file
View 1 Replieshow can i make a fade in/out effect when im loading images?
View 2 RepliesI 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?
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 1 RepliesExplaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.
I need to load dynamically a few images (4-6) so that by clicking on particular image user would invoke particular action. Embedding images solves the problem but at the expense of file size. If I load them dynamically, they lose their ID.

I have a flash movie that reads an xml file in the same directory as the .swf. This works perfectly when I just try running the .swf file, but when I add it to my website it cant seem to load the xml file. The swf and xml are in the same directory on the site and I have also tried loading the xml from a url like this: test.load('http:url....'); But this wouldnt work either :
var test:XML = new XML();
test.ignoreWhite = true;
test.load('doors.xml');[code]..........
I am making a swf of surgons.. which going to load in a base moviclip and they scroll ther right left. The problem is its taking to much time so I want a script which will load one by one these files.
Or
A script to load other swf(of surgeons) in browser cache. So when user click on these surgeon they start their work. The voice swf of surgeons. I want meanwhile they load in browser cahce..so its not take time.
i created a game that has 96 still movieclips and seven more movieclips that basically move horizontally. The lag starts to rise if i add more and more moving movieclips. The game loop just basically, increment the x coordinate of the movieclips, so i don't think i have problems in the game loop.Is it normal the flash will lag once it has exceeded certain number of movieclips??if it's normal, what do you suggest to increase the game's performance?anyway, this is the update method from the game loop:
public function update():void
{
//cek kondisi untuk melakukan spawn char

I want to download a file in flex. Here is my desired flow User clicks "view" Code goes to backend and get the file as an array of bytes bytes sent from java to flex via a callback flex then opens dialog and user decides where to save the file Unfortunately the last part is not on a user event but on the callback from the server. When I call new FileReference().save(...) it tells me this. An alternative could be
User clicks "view" Flex shows user the dialog and user chooses where to save file Flex goes to backend requesting bytes of file bytes sent to flex and data is saved. For this approach I am unsure how I can make the save asynchronous from the dialog. I want the user to save a file but the data but come from an array of bytes from the backend
I need to load an SWF(child) which is embedded in a PHP page without loading the PHP page in the browser. I call this PHP page from another SWF(parent) using URLRequest. I do not want to load the SWF(child) directly in the SWF(parent), instead call the PHP page from SWF(parent). Is it possible?
View 4 RepliesI'm encountering an anoying problem when playing this simple and small animation on the browser.
[Code]
var intervalo:Timer = new Timer (5000,0);
var imgNum:Number = 1;var imgLoader:Loader = new Loader();var imgRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("IMG/" +imgNum + ".jpg");
[Code]....
The idea being that flash should load an image in IMG folder and place it more or less centered with a specified size. 5 seconds later, the animation should go to the next frame. My Problem is that, when played in an internet browser, none of these happens (it does when I play the swf standalone).
i have a preloader swf called 'load.swf' which loads another swf called 'banner.swf' into it. Evthng is ok when i runs load.swf individually. But when i embed the load.swf init to an HTML page, things go wrong. The swf doesnt plays, all that comes is a blwnk white scren.
View 1 RepliesI have a main movie which loads a movie into a target clip via Code:loadMovie("adminMenu.swf", "_root.target", "POST");It works offfline, but when I publish the main movie as a html and view it through the browser the loadMovie function doesnt seem to work anymore!!?? i.e. it doenst load the swf's into the target clip.
View 6 RepliesI'm seeing a problem whereby a video playing in the FLVPlayback component is "hanging" periodically, where the download stops for several seconds, ultimately causing FLVPlayback component to think it's at the end of the video and auto-rewinding. I've managed to reproduce this by killing my network connection when the video hasn't finished downloading, so when the playhead plays up to what's been downloaded, it then auto-rewinds and stops.
This problem is exacerbated when a different swf is being loaded in the background. what might cause a browser to "hang" when loading the other swf. For example, if the server on which that swf resides is backed up, will the HTTP GET block other files from loading? I'd always assumed that the actual socket implementation was multi-threaded and the loading of one file shouldn't ever cause another to hang. However, I'm not sure if the bowels of flash just leverage the browser's socket implementation, or whether it has its own.? I can't find any documentation on the flash socket design.
This has been seen in numerous browsers, so I'm suspicious it's a Flash issue. The loading is done using the MovieClipLoader class, AS2.
I'm working on a program that calls a php script and then loads an xml. The program works exactly how I want in the IDE but unfortunately when it is on the server it doesn't work correctly (of course ). Anyways so i've been trouble shooting for quite some time and my guess is that the problem arises somewhere before the php call (when i make it, the variable is shown as undefined by the script). I use navigateToURL in order to test this and the script received the variable when in IDE but not from browser.

//this method is called everytime user scrolls.
function scroll(e:MouseEvent):void

When Flex application make an asynchronus HTTP request, does it add a special header to the request, like some JavaScript framework does? Something that indicates whether this request is an AJAX call/not.I just want my server side code to return different response format, depending on whether the request is made from browser/flex.
View 1 RepliesIve been having trouble with Flash Player for quite some time now. I can watch some videos, but it takes some struggling to get them to work.
For example, on NFL.com, I can't watch any videos by clicking "Play", the video will just grey out and remain that way forever. However if I can find the video on the list underneath the player, sometimes when I click on the thumbnail the video starts automatically and I can watch it.
On Patriots.com things are a little worse. The player controls underneath the video don't load at all and I cant watch

I've created a couple of flash animations, fairly simple, but the whole relies on loading external swf files and then unloaing them.
The base file works fine, loads the externals and unloads them (although I need to preven the user from hitting the unload button when there is nothing to unload) and will then load another just fine, IF I run it directly from my file system.
I want it to be on a web page, but when you click the button to load the external files, nothing happens. Safari tells me it cannot find the file, and I'm using the exact same directory to test.
So, works fine when testing with flash (CS4) and running directly from the directory in finder, but from a web page, it cannot find the file.
We developed an Eclipse plugin and tested & delivered on Win 32bit os. One of our view uses Broswer widget to load a Flash content. It works well on windows 32 bit.
Now planning to support Windows 64 bit. Unfortunately flash support for 64 bit is still in preview mode. SWT browser widget loads 64 bit IE though both version of IE (32 and 64 bit) available.
How can we try to enforce 32 bit IE in SWT browser widget?
I am working on a project where I need to load a remote swf file into another using flash and as2. This should be simple, but the remote swf file is modular by design (i.e it needs to make calls to load other swf files into it) When I enter in the location to the remote swf file from a web browser it has no problem loading up. When I try and load the swf file using flash I get errors relating to the file system. It seems the flash being loaded into my flash is trying to load its other pieces and is looking for them on my computer.

I have a full browser image slideshow. It works fine. I have a top menu with some buttons and with each one of them I would like to load a new slideshow swf on top of the existing one while still using the full browser layout. Is it possible to load the new external swf so that it will match the size of the first one? I have been trying numerous times...and the new swf I load always appears offset.
View 0 RepliesEach page is on a separate frame, link/button actionscript consists of gotoAndPlay(x), etc.
I have one product page that has enough content to where you have to scroll down in the browser window to reach the list of products. Each product image is a link to a more detailed description page/frame. My problem is this: when I scroll down in the browser window and click on one of the product links, the product details page loads, but I am still halfway down the page in the browser. I then have to scroll up to view the content. If you need to see what I'm talking about, go to villajerada dot com, click on Olive Oil, scroll down and try out one of the product links.
I've tried several approaches to resolving this, listed below:
1. External Interface Call:
(In Flash)
//ExternalInterface.call("scrollTop()");
//var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");
(In the html document)
[Code].....
Results: No matter what I do with this option, my browser always opens a new tab. I'm trying to build a site that will work with everyone's browser, regardless of their settings, so changing my own personal settings to resolve this isn't a solution. All I know is that I've tried several versions of it after reading other forum posts. Ideally, I wish that there was a way to navigate to a URL that ends up being a null object at the top of the page.
I followed less second tutorial on AMFPHP+MYSQL+Flash; I got the data from MYSQL database and AMFPHP loaded in flash; and I was able to trace these as separate variables and then display them in dynamic text boxes in flash, however when I upload my .swf and html page etc to my website it doesn't load the variables in the text fields they just stay blank and I am left with a blank background. I just want to show my friends what I've accomplished today; as I've only been using Flash/AS3 for about three weeks now; I can only do this by uploading it to my website but it wont work once I've uploaded it there.
