Flash :: Preload A Lot Of Tiny Pictures?
Apr 16, 2010
I'm thinking about how to approach the problem at hand. There's a flash movie that requires a lot of relativly small images and I'm trying to optimize the time it takes for them to be preloaded.
One thing I've considered it turning on KeepAlive in Apache on the server side. That works. But my mind still wonders if there's anything else
So, what other approaches I may try? Is there a way to compress all those images and then unpack on client side?

I inserted my Flash movie/website into an html using dreamweaver and uploaded to the site's directory. The movie plays fine in Firefox but in IE it's a tiny version of itself. I uploaded the scripts to the directory as well, I'm not sure why it's doing this.

I'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).

I'm looking for a really really small linux distribution or process of making my own that's sole purpose is to get an air application to launch full screen and stay there; Essentially I'm building a home kitchen computer that runs entirely as an AIR app.
I have looked into using windows xp; and windows xp embedded but they pose so many issues I figured I'd try modern linux.
I have also seen TinyCore Linux which looks interestingly small but not sure what issues that poses in regards to running AIR and "hardware" accelerated display. I've also thought about stripping down an Ubuntu installation but I'm sure somebody must have done this already; google is just failing me right now.

The problem, as you can see, is that the text (height and width) is nothing like the Height and Width of the compoent (Spark TextArea) that I have set via the Main.mxml file in Flex 4. This is pissing me off so much because nobody can tell me why this is happening, or how to fix it. Text is dynamically added to the TextArea as people send messages in the server, hence the valueCommit line.I don't understand this, because I know it's not the fault of my fx:Script. I know this, because when I switch over to the Design tab of Adobe Flex Builder 4; the lines are just as messed up as in the screen shot.[code]

Could anybody point me to the right direction on how to do the background for [URL]? Is each of the tiny things seperate movieclips that move with relation to the mouse? I want to understand how it works since it seems to work efficiently and doesn't have any slowdown.

I have a flash app (deployed as Air or regular app for iOS) which displays pictures.
It has to work offline, so I need to bundle my pictures with the flash app. I wrote a script to download all pics from my server to a specific folder before deploying the flash app. Currently, I remove all existing pictures from the FLA and add the new ones, but I was wondering whether there is a way to define a system folder for flash and it will take whatever exists there during the deployment process?
So basically all I'll have to do will be to run my script (to update the folder with the new pics) and recompile the FLA.

Scenario: Upload 2 images to a server. Download those images via AS3 and place them into different containers(movieclip or sprite), not overlapping one another. Well I can do it no problem, but they overlap one another and for some reason use the same "loader".
Code:
for (var i=1; i<2; i++){
var image:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myurl.com/images/" +jpgarray[i]+".jpg");
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code]....
There are several different ways you can write the above code, but the outcome is still the same. It uses the same Loader or Movieclip, or uses the same container, simply overlapping the images.

I have a Flash 9 AS3 document where I have set up a random picture loader from an XML file.
Works fine on the desktop but when uploaded the random pictures will only load if the XML file and the jpg's are in the same folder as the swf. I have pointed the XML loader address to
the proper spot in the AS3 code as well as in the XML file. I also have code in another keyframe for loading and displaying an RSS feed which works fine. I wonder are the two URL Loaders conflicting somehow. Attached is the RSS and the AS3 code.

i am currently trying to create a fish pond with fishes in it, i have parts of these fishes which i hope i can join them together to create a animation of a fish and be able to control it easily, as i will have to implement some AI on the fish, such as moving to eat a food etc. i am very new to flash and have no idea how can i go about doing this, how can i combine the images to form a fish and then be able to control the whole fish and have it move naturally like a fish without much knowledge of AS3?

These stories are already made in flash. My problem is how to add to the storys That app. Initially one of the approaches was to create an app in Coco2D and make the animations in this language (converting the animations in pictures). However due to possess many animations and sounds, this process is very complicated Thus, I asked opinions on what approach should I do to solve this problem.

I found a polaroid flash picture gallery where you can move the pictures around in the flash.I want to stick this flash in a flash I am currently making, where I have 4 different link buttons, and when you click on each, the current page slides out and that page slides in. I want to incorporate this polaroid flash so that when you click on one of the buttons, this polaroid flash will slide in.

I have a three masked pictures all are movie clips on the main timeline and the mask works ok. The problem I am having is a set of buttons on the main timeline which allow you to move between the frames the three pictures are on. They allow me to do this ok but when the movie is started the first time one of the buttons is pressed the masked pictures can be seen on screen briefly before the screen displays the material properly.
This is the script I am currently using:
room_pic.setMask("mc_mask");
mc_mask.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._x=this._x+this._xmouse*0.300000;
this._y=this._y+this._ymouse*0.500000;}
I have three layers the main picture which is a bitmap; the three masked pictures are in the layer above this; and the mask object is in a layer above this and is a movieclip.

I want to make a background in flash with pictures I shot (high res) and I want them to be the full width/height of the browser. I found an actionscript which works with tiles but in their example it fits to the screen but when I try it with my pics (swapping and stuff in flash) it comes out like my picture multiplied next to and below eachother. I have several landscape photographs I want to use and let them auto-scale to the full width and height of the visitors browser/screen..

I have an intro page that allows users to enter either a high bandwidth (flash) version of the site or a low bandwidth (html) version of the site. The flash has a preloader but it is still quite long for some to load. I was wondering if it is possible and what the best way to have the swf file load behind the scenes on the intro page so that when the use clicks the high bandwidth enterance the swf is already loaded or mostly loaded.

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 what I hope is a fairly straight forward question that I hope you can answer if you write code with a Mac or are at least familiar with the process on a Mac? The person I have been working with to create my photography website uses a PC. Here is the problem. I am trying to use my Mac in order to create frames so that I can add 5 more images to a portfolio that presently has 15 images.
The code is in an index.fla file. If I want to create a new frame in the index.fla, let's say LOAD CODE 381 and want to use the same text that is already present in LOAD CODE 380 but with a few edits, I have no trouble going to the Action-Movie Clip and finding LOAD CODE 380 in the left hand column. The problem is, on a Mac, how do I create frame LOAD CODE 381 and then how do I copy and paste the text from LOAD CODE 380 into LOAD CODE 381? It looks like on a PC one can open LOAD CODE 380 in the Action-Movie Clip, highlight the text then right click on the red rectangular box in the timeline. By doing so (on a PC) one sees a drop down menu that gives the option to "copy key frame". What is the equivalent of the "copy key frame" on a Mac? I can see where on the Mac you can go to Edit >copy. Is this the equivalent of "copy key frame" on a PC? If so, once I "copy" the text how do I create the new LOAD CODE 381 so that I can paste the text into the new frame?
