External Jpg Looks Pixelated When Called?
Apr 15, 2008
I am calling a group of "large" jpgs into a slide show viaxml at runtime.The files are at size and with no compression as they are seelocally on a touchscreen.They look good in Pshop on screen, but when viewed in the swfthey have odd edges in t etext areas or anywhere there is adramatic shift in color or contrast. It looks like compressionissues, but I have been through each file multiple times andnothing seems to be wrong.Is there a limit to what file size can be imported andmanaged clearly by flash?Movie is 1924 x 1200 and the slideshow running in the windois 1277x959(rgb,jpg,files@72DPI)Image quality is very important on these because they are on

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

I have a swf called main.swf that is loading an external swf called main-intro.swf.main-intro.swf has a clip that fades up and then I have a stop action 24 frames in. The problem is is that I get a null object reference error (1009) when calling the external swf. If I remove the stop action then it works, if I rename the external swf to intro-main.swf it works with the (stop action).It seems it just doesn't want to run the external swf's actions when it's called main-intro.sql

I have a movie that calls other movie clips with a preload and fade for each external mc called. but after you call and load the swf in the container it disappears aftre about 30 seconds it disappears if you dont do anything and then it comes back after about 30 seconds. I am using this script for the preload object and fade.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(dummy ==1){
_root.text._alpha += 10;
} loaded = _root.clip.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.clip.getBytesTotal();
[Code] .....
Then this is on every frame to make it use the preload and fade in the new loaded swf after it shows it loading.
clip.loadMovie("GuardHouse.swf");
clip._alpha = 0;
now = 0;
text.dummy = 1;
//now load the external file into the myData object
myData.load("GuardHouse.txt");
stop();
Also I dont know if this has anything to do with this problem but when I load an external swf it does not show any actions i have in there or any text but does show images and shapes but not dynamic text boxes or fades or anything like that. You can view it at the url below. I have listed the link to the main movie swf and the map1.swf that it calls when you click on floor plan so you can see when you view the map1.swf by itself there is more stuff that does not show up when loaded into the main swf.

I have one swf called main.swf which has a container movieclip that gets external swf's loaded into it.
my external swf is called hosting and it calls an array of data that is loaded into a movieclip that is duplicate for each element from the database. The elements from the database are as follows:
Business
Economy
Power
Standard
Each one of these has a button over it that when press loads information from the database into a movieclip that contains a textbox. My button code is: _root.movieclip.loadVariables("url to database");
This works flawlessly when I run the hosting.swf by itself, but when it is loaded into the contianer in the main.swf the buttons dont work. I believe that it is the _root in the button call that is causing this but I dont know how to fix it. I think the _root variable changes when hosting is loaded into the main.swf.

I am having issues with startDrag(). I have a movie clip called circle. Inside circle, I have a movie clip called circleFill and another called circleOutline.onEnterFrame, this movieClip is duplicated 4 times.
When I use this:
private function onPressNow(event:MouseEvent):void
{
startDrag();
}
IT DRAGS ALL 4 MOVIECLIPS.

how can I make it drag my movieClip called circle? (meaning both circleFill and outlineFill)

I have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following
[Code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.

Use Flash CS5 (and AIR, though this does not seem like it would be AIR related) in Win XP 64 I have a MovieClip symbol in my library with the identifier 'Puzzle10Piece10' with the following actionscript attached to frame 1 of the only layer with the following actionscript:
[Code]...
This runs contrary to my understanding of the pre-compiler and code execution order. In my way of thinking, any reference creation and related memory allocation is made when the object is instantiated, and indeed that allocation, unlike C depends not on code order (declaration before use), though this is an order that would satisfy even the C pre-compiler. If I understand the Flash compiler at all, it's not even a question of 'code order'... the symbol is pre-compiled such that for it to exist... for it to be instantiated, the variable would exist before the function would even be 'available' to be called internally or externally. Is my thinking way off, or is this a bug?

In my "actions" layer I have a function that loads a gallery of a external file called gallery.swf. The swf loads successfully but I cant remove that. The only way to remove is to call removeChild(mLoader.content); I noticed that the movies loads without addChild.
But sometimes also calling removeChild(mLoader.content) the content of mLoader is not removed and still appears in the stage.

I went through Claudio's preloader transition tutorial on kirupa ([URL]). I have tried to apply it to my own fla and everything seems to work fine EXCEPT I can't get any of the external swfs to load into the empty movie clip called "content". And yes, I have checked and rechecked to make sure that all MCs have instance names!

I have imported two images from PS to Flash in PNG format. They are the perfect size and ready to use (i.e. not scaling these images). When I convert them to movies, the animation looks great in Flash, but when I export them they only look good when I have the HTML settings set to "Best". If I don't have this setting on, it looks like crap (i.e. very jagged). These are photos btw, not vector images or shapes.
The reason I want this to be optimized without the control of HTML is because I am creating web banners for advertising. When I submit my swf file to the webmaster, they basically will embed the swf with whatever settings they choose. If they don't have the setting on "Best", the file looks like crap. Allow smoothing is on.
1. When I import the PNG image, can I safely select JPG compression via the Bitmap Properties? Or do I need to keep it as lossless? If I select JPG, I can considerably reduce the filesize, although I'm not sure if that causes the images to look jagged as well.
2. Is there anything I can do outside the HTML settings to display my animations without the jagged edges? I need to keep my filesize under 50Kb which is pretty hard when working with photos and animation etc.

I am making a simple little movie that reads an XML file, gets the url of the most recent nodes image and displays it.I have everything working, but the image gets pixelated when it gets sized down, and I cannot figure out how to enable smoothing with my code.I am new to A.S. so I am fumbling my way through something this advanced. From my reading I think I cannot enable smoothing because I am using a UILoader to display the image?[code]

I have a swf embedded in a HTML page at 100% - so it resizes with the page. In this I am dynamically loading jpegs... however, if the swf is displaying at anything other than its original size the jpegs look clumsily pixelated... which would be understandable if they were bigger than their native size, but it also happens when theyre smaller....

I've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9);

I have scaled down some JPG's in flash and they look fine but when I publish to a SWF they look pixelated. I've read other threads and done what is suggested i.e. Smoothing on or off, JPG's instead of PNG's and quality at 100% with no success. I know that Flash isn't a resolution based application and bitmaps are but the images look fine in the Flash IDE.

First i made the images with drop shadows in Illustrator and they looked fine there. When i copied them in to Flash they became pixelated.
I then got rid of the drop shadow in Illustrator and re-made it directly in Flash using the Filter/Drop Shadow property. It still is coming out very pixelated, even on "high quality" setting.

On the timeline where the movieclip is located I have the following code:loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9); On the movieclip itself I have this code in order to create a fade in:
onClipEvent(load){this._alpha = 0;speed = 10; // change this to change fade speed}onClipEvent(enterFrame){loaded = this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal();if(loaded == 1){this._alpha += speed;} else {this._alpha = 0;}if(this._alpha >= 100){this._alpha = 100;}}

I'm trying to scale down some vectors that have a z position set (other than zero) and they are becoming pixelated. So flash is obviously bitmapping the vectors.
Does anyone know of a work around to stop the pixelation?
Here is the function from my class:
private function addItems():void
{
addChild(itemsContainer);
// make the items.

I'm creating a very basic tween of an image which scales down to half it's size. It looks fine in Flash but when published the scaled down image looks like crap, all pixelated. I've done this hundreds of times in other versions with no problems except now. The publish setting for jpeg is set at 100% etc...

I've got a FLA file making an animated banner. When I export it as an animated GIF, the background (which originally is a solid color) has either dots or crosses making up the color. I've tried different settings such as dithering, changing the palette but have had no luck. And I'm using one of the 256 colors. Using a FLA that did have a good solid bg converted animated GIF, I tried to export that one as well and it comes up with the same problem. So that means it's not the color/fla that is wrong, but is my exporting to animated gif method.
Attached is how the background turns out:
