Basically I have a background image which is loaded while the rest of the flash file is loaded. So once the preloader has finaly appeared its already half way through which I dont want.
Is there a way I can specify a certain image to be loaded before everything else in the flash file and before the first frame to start?
How do I use a dynamic preloader [say a circular preloader that I've designed myself and not the ProgressBar preloader] to load an external jpg. Obviously, the jpg would be contained within a movie clip, say, 'imageHolder'. In short, I'd like this dynamic preloader to load the external jpg into the movie clip 'imageHolder' placed within my swf.All that needs to be figured out is how to attach any dynamic preloader to load external pics.[code]
View 1 RepliesI am making a preloader for a 360* product viewer and i'm having some trouble. the preloader works fine and when placed by itself loads the second the page requests it. but once i put it in my .fla project something causes the preloader to not load. and instead starts playing once the file is completely downloaded.
there are only two frames. the first frame just has the preloader movie in it. the action code for the preloader movie is:
Code:
_parent.stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_parent.getBytesTotal()>1) {

I'm just starting out with my first Adobe Air project (I'm a pure AS3 developer by trade).I'm planning to build an image editor which supports layers. I'm wondering what the best way would be to store an entire project including layer data (images) to a users hard disk.I'm wondering if there is any pros/cons in creating a custom file format for my application. The idea is I will be able to store an entire project in a single file. This will be done by writing meta data to the file's header such as the image dimensions, layer names, layer data offsets etc...I'm trying to be mindful of the issues which might arrise such as maintaining backwards compatibility after adding new project features/meta etc.I guess I'm asking whether people have any advice or experience with creating a custom file format for Adobe Air and if there are any other 'out-of-the-box' solutions to saving 'complex' data to a users hard disk.
View 2 RepliesFor buttons like the MENU or BACK button you can just add a listener for KeyboardEvent and check if the event keyCode is Keyboard.BACK or Keyboard.MENU.However I don't see anything for knowing if the phone's volume buttons were pressed.Is there a way to listen for volume up and volume down keyUp/keyDown events in AIR (ActionScript 3)?

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to open a jpeg image in Actionscript 3.0 which opens without any issues however part of the lettering in the image appears to display as a different colour as if Flash doesn't recognise the colour in the image. The strange thing is that it opens in photoshop as the correct colour but not in Flash. Would the colour scheme that the image uses perhaps need to be added to Flash database of colours?
View 1 RepliesI am wanting to achieve a particular image effect using Adobe Flash (Actionscript 3). I would like an image (width 200px, height 600px) to appear on the timeline by being revealed by different sized circles (varying from 30px-5px). I am thinking of using an image mask and creating seperate circles across the timeline, so that when the movie plays, each random sized circle, one after one, will reveal the image at the end. So this is probably going to be quite time consuming. Also, does anyone know of any flash image effects helpers in general, I'm looking for something similar like green socks except for image effects...

View 1 RepliesQuite simply, is there a way to put a custom image in the installer of an AIR application, for example to the left.

View 5 RepliesIs there any possible way to play a .jpeg sequence using .flv player on-the-fly ? I mean, by not needing to convert the entire sequence into one single .flv ? Since I'm not familiar with flash neither action script, I was surfing the web in hope to find any template or tips about similar things to that but I couldn't...
Here's the main list of features:
1- Browse button to load a sequence eg. < filename >####.jpeg
2- Play button with a slider time
3- Previous and next frame-by-frame buttons
4- FPS slider from 0 to 30
My main reference is this stand app called Cyber-D's Image Sequence Viewer.

I've been looking for some examples on creating a custom statusbar for an AIR application, but haven't found anything really useful. That was until I started looking around in the Tour de Flex AIR app for an example, and it was right there (part of the app itself). Would anyone have some suggestions on replicating this statusbar. The trouble I'm having is that I cannot seem to get the value of a dynamic variable to display. I'm attempting to display the current user.
View 2 Repliesim making my portfolio website and i was wondering if its possible to make 2 things:
1) crossfade transition effect between photos like: [url].... (i know site isn't flash) (when loaded click on f.ex. editorial location, left side click is previous and right side next)
2) first photo on category as a preloader (filling up from top to bottom). i got my photos in category too (on different swf files) and for now im using simple strip preloader.
Show me/point me into the right direction on as to how to make a custom preloader. But the thing is i want it inside of a URL function.. Which is where im struggling.

I've been working for a little while now trying to make a portfolio site for myself and I'm almost done but I'm having one little issue with preloaders. (There are more things not finished, but they're just things I haven't gotten around to doing, I think).The thing I'm trying to do is create a custom preloader for an image gallery that loads each image.You can see an example on in the 3D Architecture section on the site here:(Yes, I know the main preloader is working fine, I'm talking about the one in the 3D Architecture section.)Here is the code I'm using for that frame:
