Flash :: Pass The Dimension Of A Loader Object To Another Class?
Feb 24, 2010
I have a class (ImageLoader) that extends Sprite container and loads an external image to its instance. When i instantiate an object of this class from another (Main) class i want to have the dimensions (width, height) of the loaded image being known to this (Main) class. It seems that is difficult for me as the dimensions are known after the image compete loaded. But i don't know how to pass this information from completeHandler event handler to the Main class.
I am really pulling my hair out with this one. Flash game, container swf loads a img using the loader class. The image is the map which will be used on the levels. The problem im having is that I originaly had each level load the map image, convert to a bitmap, and us it to create x and y's for colision detection.
the problem was that the game was loading and sometimes the map image hadent loaded. It also ment that each level was loading the same image and if the above happened on the 3rd, 4th level it was very annoying. So I need a way to load the image in the parent, but have it available to the child, however it must be available as at bitmap to work.
I'm making a pokemon clone, mostly for the learning / instructional value. I've had little trouble loading in my tilesheet for the maps, but recently I decided to use a different sheet. Lo an behold, the data loads, but an Event.COMPLETE never fires, and if I look into the contentLoaderInfo, I see the data is null. However, it's only with the one tilesheet I want to use! Other sheets load just fine. It turns out, the issue is that the tile sheet was originally 256 x 15008. With flash 10, we're supposed to be able to work with bitmapData of max 8000-something in one dimension.
So I redistributed the sheet to be within the 8-thousand limit. Again, it failed to load. It wasn't until I got both of the dimensions within 2880 that it actually loaded. Thus, while we're supposed to be able to edit huge bitmaps, apparently the Loader class still can't load an image with a dimension greater than 2880? 2880 is the previous (flash 9) limit on a bitmap data. My sprite sheet is a png 24. So there's a chance this is just a png thing, but I did try to save it as a gif and load that... it fired a complete but it was completely blank once it was loaded in.
I created a button class with a method that will allow me to control an external SWF. However, the loader for the SWF is created on my main timeline. Is it possible to access the loader object from within my button class?No matter what I try I either get an error that the variable is not defined (rightfully so because I haven't defined it in the class, it's defined on the main timeline) or that the object is null (when I declare the loader from within the class, which I know is wrong as well)
I want to pass through configuration arguments to a class. These are all the optional vars that go into configuring the class - and should be able to run in any order.
at the moment i just pass through the optional vars the regular way. Supposing the constuctor was like the following:
private var _reqVar:String; private var _optVar1:String; private var _optVar2:String;
[Code].....
assigning the argument to the var of the same key (i know in php to reference a variable name from a key you can use $$key = $value, is there an equivalent in as3?) display an error (using the 'throw' method) for variable names not supported by the class
The issue I'm having is that I have a main "wrapper" 100x100 (but it could be any size) - it's just there to hold and display whatever content, swf, gif, etc we may want to throw into it. As long as the loaded content doesn't have 3D animation like rotationY going on, it displays fine. But when it does, the 3D "anchor" properties (like projectionCenter) of the loaded swf inherit those of the main timeline (i.e. 100x100 (main) vs 728x90 (loaded)). If I change the dimension of the main "wrapper" in Flash IDE to match what's coming in - the 3D behaves fine, but I won't know what the dimensions of the content will be until it comes, so I need a way (if there is one) to dynamically alter the main "wrapper" or root display object through AS. Stuff like "this.width = loader.width" or "stage.width = loader.width" or "root.width = loader.width" etc doesn't work. Flex has the hBox and vBox
I need to set a value for the Referer header when making a request to my local proxy script from Flash. As recommended in this question: Facebook Proxy Loader Security, I need to check the HTTP_REFERER to test if traffic is coming from my own domain. The problem is that when using a loader like the code below, no Referer header is sent.
According to the Flash docs: [URL] there is only very limited support for HTTP headers in Flash Player, and Referer is prohibited. Is there anything I can do here other than have my proxy check that $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is empty? (and that seems like a fairly large hole in security right there)
I am really confused with this tutorial as there is shown how to assign z dimension to the Sprite object. It is never declared, so I assume the z property should be implemented to the Sprite class. But obviously I get an error when I try to build the application does not matter if it is flash or flex app. From my point of knowledge I can not find z property for Sprite in the actionscript, so I do not know how Lee implemented his code to work. Below I put all the code from the tutorial, so you can quickly glimpse at it. How is it possible to assign z dimension to work it, or suggest what kind of class to import or whatever I should do, or know anything about the z dimension in flash player 10.I do not really think z could be in 10-beta and is not in 10 official.
I am using the Loader class to load 3 external swfs: sharedTopics.swf (does not have a document class) fonts.swf (document class is FontManager) main.swf (document class is Main) The same loader is used to load all 3 assets.
I'm having to pass data (originally read via an XML file loaded by the parent class) to a child class upon instantiation, and I can't decide which is the better method.I could parse the XML in the parent and throw the data into an Object and pass that object to the child class....or just pass the part it needs as an XMLList and let the child class do the parsing.Seems like a trivial decision, yes, but I'm not sure of longer-term implications.
So I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class. Which is cool, but I need something more dynamic than just sending a fixed value.So, what is the best way to connect the Loader object of the Photo object, with the EventRatio object?
I'm trying to get a link to an XML file passed from the Object Embed code into my Flash movie. (Not using SWFobject). I have 1 swf file that should be able to connect to 3 different XML files.
Below is the HTML code (I'm trying to get theXML path): <div class="left"> <h2>300 x 353 Green Accent Color</h2> <script type="text/javascript"> [Code] ..... Right now it's not loading the XML file from the param.
I have two classes, call them A and B. They both contain a Loader object. In class A I load content into the Loader object.
public class A { var loader:Loader; public function A():void {
[Code].....
But that's not what I want. I don't want to manage a bunch of children when I know I only have one child but just want to change its content.
Is there a way to copy/assign a Loader directly? I tried assigning to 'content' but that's read-only. Basically I have an array of Loader objects that all get loaded with images. I then have a single Loader that's on the stage and I want to assign to it images (Loaders) from my array.
I want a way to pass a string statement from one base class to an other. The two classes are CLICK and READ.What's an easy way to do this? I haven't worked in classes that often to know some of the simple tricks.
I have an array in a timeline that I need to pass to a class file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this, as the method of inter-class array transfers doesn't seem to work.
im loading a child swf into my parent swf and I want to pass some parameters to the child swf.
Here is my code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "test.swf" ); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete ); loader.load(req);
I'm running into a problem loading an external swf. Check it out here: [URL]
If it's working right, the top and bottom red areas should end up looking exactly the same.
I have "init.swf" loading "cc_home.swf" into a container. When successful, it should fade up (that animation is in "init.swf") and then load the white text (cc_home.swf). What you're seeing on that page is init.swf on top, and cc_home.swf down below.
When I test init.swf directly from Flash, it works fine. In the browser, though, it doesn't load the movie.
Here's the code I'm using in "init.swf" to load cc_home.swf (which I got from Kirupa):
var mycontainer:MovieClip; var myloader:Loader = new Loader(); var urlrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("cc_home.swf") myloader.load(urlrequest);
In Flash CSn/AS3 you associate a Main class with a flash file which when loaded in the flash player "automatically creates an instance of the program's main class."I'd like to know how to pass arguments to the main class, since you don't write it yourself (you put its name in the Document textfield in the IDE).
I am adding some movieclips dynamically to stage. If we click on the movieclips, they goto and stop at frame 2. The Click Event for the Movieclip is defined in the base class
I have created a small banner for the homepage of a website for a company. The problem is that when they load the banner to their website the link no longer works. I have tested it myself and it works fine on my website. have the banner be clicked and open up in the same browser to another page on this website."define a way to pass link URL values into a flash object as a parameter."
"We need the functionality ASAP so can you start by working on this and creating a sample. It shouldn�t be too difficult as it is a fairly common requirement. Can you put together a basic example (it doesn�t need good graphics) that shows this idea working over " [URL]
