i'd like to load an external image in a movieclip via
createEmptyMovieClip(..)
mcName.loadMovie( imageName )
trying to set the mc-size via
mcName._width = 100
mcName._height = 100
nothing changes. furthermore - any possibilities to zoom or stretch the image to get the size provided from the mc?
I need to fill some movieclip with an external image in AS3. I know how to use an image contained in the FLA's library as background filling, but I don't know how to do this with an external loaded image.
View 3 RepliesI am new to AS3 and I need some help with the Senocular Transform Tool (AS3 version)
I'm having trouble with loading in an external image such that I can transform with the Senocular Transform Tool class.
I have managed to load in the picture but the transform class doesn't seem want to grab it. [code]...
I have been working on code updation project wherein initially we had an image and text as movieclips in fla library. The image and the text are read by the actionscript program which then creates an animation.[code]...
I want to ease the updation process by giving the url of the image in an XML file. Read the image url from the xml and load this image in the library of the fla as movieclip. This, i think, will result in less code change and improve the updation of the final animation image.
The problem i am facing is not been able to figure out how can i change the image (after fetching its URL) to a movieclip and then load it in the library?
I'm trying to load external image into Flash like BitmapData. Problem is, whan I load image into movieClip and than I want to convert it by using draw(), in bitmapData variable is an old statement of mc (before loadClip instruction). But from the logic of source code is imposibe.
source code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.geom.*;[code]..............
First of all, let me say that I have no actionscript knowledge, but I have PHP knowledge.
How can I make a movieclip display an image from a php file?
And how can I send the image from the php file to the movieclip?
I have a flash movie clip and need to load an external image inside the clip that reference to an external URL.. like URL i did something with XML but the image persist on every clip because it loads from actionscript using the x and y cords.
View 2 RepliesI have a SWF file used as a banner advertisement but there is a 35kb size limit. My file is just under 60kb, and I won't be able to optimize the images any further. (An early version can be found here:URL...)I was thinking perhaps I could load 2 of my images dynamically?I actually try to stay away from Flash and Actionscript, but had to use it for this advertisement. The animation is built with transitions and symbols in the timeline. That being said I know just enough actionscript to control the timeline / playback but not how to dynaimcally load images, then assign those images to the symbols I use in my animations.Could someone hold my hand for about 5 minutes and give me the dummy 101 on how to dynamically load an image that a symbol will reference?Not a permanent solution, but I discovered that I can make a simple pre-loader swf that has the background, and load the real swf using this simple actionscript code:[code]

View 2 RepliesTo load an image onto a movieclip, the mc's registration point must be top left. Is there a way of loading the image on the whole movieclip, when it's reg point is not top left. In other words to set where to start putting the image in reference to the movieclip
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file where a button loads a movie clip with he following code:
on (rollover) {
this.attachMovie("proj_1_1_mc", "window", 1);
window._x = 100;
window._y = 100;
unloadMovie("proj_");

How do i modify this so that the proj_1_1_mc movieclip loads an external image instead of putting it in the flash file and thus bloating the .swf file?
When I use Loader to load the same external image twice (same URL), what happens the second time? Is it taken from cache or does it actually load again?

I have an image gallery that I made with this tutorial (AS3 Photo Viewer Tutorial), and I'm trying to get an external preloader to load it. The only tweaks I've made to the tutorial file have been to change the stage size, and change the name and contents of the xml file.The preloader, which uses something I downloaded from preloaderz, worked with another, simpler swf, but when I try it with this one, I get
Quote:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at PhotoViewer()
I don't know why this won't work. Another thing I don't quite get is how the .as file is attached, because the PhotoViewer.fla file appears to be blank, with nothing I can see in the timeline/ stage, or in the actionscript. Before trying the external preloader, I tried adding one to PhotoViewer.fla, using script from the ActionScript 3 Classroom in a book, which worked in their lesson file, but not with this file. I also tried moving the script to the .as file, but that didn't work either.I'm using Flash CS4. If all else fails, I might have to try a simpler image gallery, that would hopefully work with a preloader, but I like how this one looks.
Is there any way to load an external image and add it to more than one movie clip?

I am trying to create an interactive 3D canvas, e.g. it loads up the person image and loads it into several - pre warped- movieclips... trouble is when I run this:
ActionScript Code:

It only executes the last one instead of them all, when I remove the last one (canvas_white_mc)... it goes to the next last one canvas_black_mc...
I'm obviously doing something wrong, and everything about addChild and loading external images for me is a bit loose weave!

View 6 RepliesI've been looking at one of senocular's rather brilliant source files, specifically the 'rising grid transition', which performs a transition effect by using the bitmapData class. Currently,it loads a variable called 'tempbmp' by using the bitmapData.loadBitmap function:
var tempbmp = flash.display.BitmapData.loadBitmap('hill');
where hill is a jpg in the library with a linkage ID of 'hill'. what i'd like to know is if this process could use an image that is not in the Flash library. Is there a way to load an external image as a bitmapData object?
I'm having trouble trying to cache a movieclip that contains an external image that I have successfully loaded. My problem is that the fade function that is running when after the image is duplicated doesn't appear to be affecting the mc that contains the cached image.Is there a handler that I can use to ensure that the bitmap is attached inside the movie clip before I run my fade in, or do I have to beware of a timing issue and delay running the setInterval for the fade in?
bmppopulatedClip.onLoadInit = functiontoRun; or something?
