Actionscript 3 :: Remove Flickering From A Fast Series Of Image Loads In Flash?
May 26, 2010
working on making a flash program that loads about 1000 jpegs and then plays them like a movie. Have all the buttons and stuff working but the time it takes for an image to load is so high that the movie can't be played at 30 fps. I've tried multiple ways of fixing this
using 1 scrollpane and changing its source ever 30 ms. This one is the worst but simplest. Flickers cause strobing and it is unwatchable.
used 2 scrollpanes that were duplicates of each other until I had to load. I would then make that one invisible, load it , then make it visible. Then load the background one. Works but same problem as the first at high speeds, just less severe. used 1 scrollpane per image . This works great, except that it fails miserably on any more than 100 of them due to the number of objects.Currently using action script 3, but will change if its not possible in that.
Also, I want to be able to zoom in and then scroll around the window hence the scrollpanes, but if that's not possible its a sacrifice I'm willing to make

in my mxml file I have images declared like this:
<mx:Image x="0" y="0" source="assets/bigpicture.png" id="picture1"/>
and at some event I do:
picture1.source = "assets/bigpicture2.png";
However this results in flex removing the picture, and when it has loaded it will show it again.
How can I make the mx:image make so that it will continue to show the image until the new image has been loaded?

I'm trying to create a SWF that loads a series of FLV files into an array, and then plays them randomly and seamlessly one after another in a continuous, random loop.

I have done a character animation by loading multiple images one after another at runtime or dynamically by accessing files from there path directly. But the problem I am facing is, I am getting a white bg or delay when the images change, it kind of feels like the images are flickering. How can I get rid of this flicker.

I have a preloader but I only see it for a split second when I preview my site. My .fla file is 125MB & the .swf is almost 8MB. I have changed some of the simulation settings but there is no difference in the speed of the preloader. My preloader is on the first scene and my site is on the second scene. I think the code below is correct. I have added a gotoAndPlay(2);, which means the preloader scene should advance to the website scene. Why is my progress bar only visible for 1 nano-second? I actually want to see something happening with the progress bar.

In Flex4, I use an Image control. After every 10 seconds, i am changing the image programatically using Timer. But when the image changes, flickering occurs. Is there any method to prevent this?

I've put together an example of the problem I am having and I've also attached my 2 x 2 image I'm using. The image is linked with the class name of ContentTexture which is referenced in my code below:
ActionScript Code:
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import caurina.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[Code] .....
I've tried using different tweening engines (greensock's TweenLite, Tweener, and flash's built in Tweening engine) so I think it's more of a general flash issue...maybe a bug? I'm using Flash CS4 on a PC and I've tried 24fps and 30fps with no difference. Is this a rendering issue/flash bug? or is there another setting I'm missing?

[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 need to resize images in actionscript maintaining the quality aka bicubic or bilinear resizing. At the moment my algorithm just loops through every single pixel and calculates the new pixel. example:

This is really slow and shamefully there is no multi-threading in the flash player, so I was wondering what tricks I can use to speed things up?

I'm making a flv movie with dynamically loaded cuepoints (from xml).On every cuepoint there should fade in an image (jpg) . The path to this image is sent with the cuepoints.To be sure an image is loaded before the cuepoint is passed, i've created a preloader that preloads 4 image from the xml before even starting the video.After the video is started the preloader preloads the remaining images in the background.All works well expect for 1 thing:Flash does not seem to cache my preloaded images. In the bandwidthprofiler i can see that when a cuepoint passes, flash loads the preloaded images again. why does flash reload the image while it is already preloaded?[code]

I have a site that I am working on and I want to add a gallery behind a password. So far I have the password working and the gallery loads but the gallery loads on top of the swf where you input the password. I want that "password" swf to be removed when the new gallery is loaded. I tried to find some code for this but I can't get it to work so I commented it out. I have pasted the code in that swf below.
I am pasting the link. The gallery in question is behind the "Wholesale button" So click on "Wholesale" and then the password is "TEST"
[URL]
Code:
verify_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, verifyPass);
// Define your loader
// This will handle all loading of swfs

I am getting a mysterious result when trying to load profile images from a logged in Facebook user's friends list into an as3 canvas app. In pretty much every (non-facebook) application I've made where loading an image is required I use the following:
private function loadPic():void
{
var url:String = Facebook.getImageUrl(_friendslistObjectArray[_loadCount].id);
_picLoader = new Loader();[code]............
I can't retrieve the image from the event object,and I am given no error at all.It all just fails silently.If I remove the line var image = evt.target.content, the process runs through the whole array.I can't think of any reason this would occur. Furthermore, if I look in firebug's net activity, I see I see the images get loaded as long as I do not have the line I just mentioned included. I just can't seem to get the image data from the event object to add it to stage or a container movieclip.

Is there a way to dispatch an event after Flex loads an mx:image? I'm loading image externally and don't know the width/height until it's loaded. I get an exception when I call width/height to the image before loading.

Everything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:
on(release) {
loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0);
}
The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.

I just trying to learn basic flash programming skills, now I got a program that load an image from my local machine, and show it with uiloader component, code is something like:
var myImage:String = "picture.png"
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myImage);
uiLoader.load(request);
It's working fine, but when dynamically change the picture, I notice a flicker while loading, there is any way to avoid this flicker? i mean, like double-buffering or so.

I'm having a problem with youtube video embedding;
In some places on my site (like news etc.) video is normally displayed and can be watched, while in others (forum topics mainly) it flickers whenever I mouseover it (making a new HTTP request to YouTube, as I can see in Firebug).
It definitelly has something to do with CSS rendering; when I disable JS nothing changes but disabling CSS causes it to work properly.
Firefox version: 3.6.12
Flash version: 10.1.82.76
The code I'm using for embedding:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="390" height="293" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/pIxVoDNbujM?ft=18">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
[Code]....
Edit: OMG, it works properly when I'm logged out... Now nothing is clear to me as CSS is the same for users and guests, there are just few minor differences in markup...

I have a ball moving around the screen, position updated on ENTER_FRAME. My problem is that there is a considerable amount of flicker going on. I have thought about using something like TweenLite to move the ball but as the position is being updated frame-to-frame I don't think that will work.[code]...

Coming from a more'traditional' C++ background so more used to dealing with low level API's rather than something like the flash.display API.How does one avoid screen tearing/flickering in the display API?Even with a high framerate like 60 fps I'm experiencing some rather nasty flickering/tearing between frames.Take the simplistic example below, where the children of the Sprite are merely instances of Shape and never change.
private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
{
var t:Number = (getTimer() - time) / 1000;
time = getTimer();

The problem is when you rollover with your cursor in certain areas and in certain ways you can cause this strange flickering effect to happen.where it keeps trying to go back to the over state and then the out states repeatedly).

I was wondering how to achieve the native scrollbar effect which TheFWA (thefwa.com) has managed to do pretty well (I am not a fan of Flex scrollbars).and implemented the technique, as I am calling a JS function through ExternalInterface every time, when the flash object changes size. This JS function simply resizes the div which holds the flash object, which creates the native bars.Unfortunately, when I resize quite rapidly (from 800 to 1800 height, for instance) the flash object simply gets warped for several milliseconds (as if it hasn't changed its size, but simply got pulled in all directions). After these milliseconds, things get back to normal, but the whole situation is really visually annoying.
Originally I thought that it's simply a timing issue, but after a bunch of attempts to set a delay, the effect was the same ... just delayed.How can I resolve that? I know it's technically possible. Just take a look at TheFWA, and see how smoothly flash and the browser are communicating with each other to make the native scroll bars work, without any flickering, or mismeasurement

I have a problem with a flash image gallery that I created and have now posted to my website.
When the flash movie is viewed on it's own you can click the main images and you are taken to a product page. However when the flash movie is integrated into the website, the links are random at best and for the most part dont work.
Take a look:
1. Standalone flash gallery
2. Embedded in webpage
I thought that the scrolling marquee to the left of the page might be causing a problem but the problem doesn't go away when I remove this.

I've a carousel, that has got an image and a label that shows a description of the icon. It is done using It has got an ItemRenderer that renders the image above the icon description text. [URL].Up on click event I display the image and details of some text pertaining that image/icon.
Now I wanted to introduce a smaller 'x' icon on top right hand side of the icons so the user could remove the items he's not interested in from the carousel's list of items. This would dispatch a different event so removeIconEvent and clickEvent would be handled differently.

Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();

For some reason the squares of color that are supposed to load behind the image that acts as a mask load first, momentarily showing while the image loads, which looks bad. Hre is the code:

I have experimented with adding the square child elsewhere (such as in the code where it is created twice), but that proves even more disastrous.
