Flex :: Embedding Images And Then Displaying Them
Oct 27, 2011
I have 2 images that are used hundreds of times throughout my application. Although they are only ~2.5 kilobytes each, they're multitude is causing the browser to load nearly 7 megs of data if reference them like this[code]...
Instead of having this issue, I would like to embed the image once, and then repeatedly reference the embedded object. I'm not exactly sure how to do this. From what I've read online, doing the following should work[code]...

We are working on a flex project where we want to balance two challengesa) want to ensure that there is minimal need to be connected to internet- so it can be used offline. This will be used in rural locations with flaky connectionsb) Reduce file size by only embedding those assets in compile mode as is requiredBroadly, the project will go down one of three flows in the module called, based on user choice- Path A, Path B and Path C, which will require image set-A, set-B & set-C respectively (based on settings in the module)We want to send over all images in Set-A or set-B or set-C right upfront in the module called, based on choice made in primary project, to minimize need for connectivity once accessed. At the same time I want to avoid sending all three sets and bloating up download size three times.

I use the images in the tooltips. Images are on the server. I'm using the code:
var tip1:String;
tip1 = "<img src='assets/images/yes.jpg' align='center' width='150' height='150' hspace='3' vspace='3'/>";
tip1 += 'some text';
yes.toolTip = tip1;
But many of images are more than 100 kb, then the image in the tooltip appear with some delay. Is it possible to embed all the pictures during loading swf, to appear at once with the text when the mouse over?

I'm having some trouble with loading images for my tiles in a small game I'm making. It's isometric and tile based. I have two questions: I have a class called MapTile which is for each tile in the map. Each tile is made up of 1-9 blocks stacked on top of each other (like Final Fantasy Tactics). For example, let's say there are 4 different kinds of blocks: grass, dirt, stone, and water and they all have different images. I was considering embedding only the images needed (so if a tile is just grass on dirt then it would only embed the dirt and grass images). Will this actually make the game faster and smaller or is it worthless? If it's worthless then just ignore my next question.I'm trying to embed my images dynamically as stated above. So I have an array called loadedTiles that contains the class names of the tiles that have been loaded so that I don't embed the same thing twice. And I try something like this for embedding new images:
Code:
var sourceT:String = "../../../lib/tiles/" + tilesList[data[i]]["image"];
var nameT:String = "block" + tilesList[data[i]]["id"];
[Embed(source = this[sourceT])] var this[nameT]:Class;

I'm trying to show image files (jpg, png, gif) that can be larger than the available display area. I've embedded an Image inside a cCanvas (to get scrolling), but the large images are not completely displayed.
Very large images (e.g. 2480 x 3507) have the top or the top and bottom of the image clipped withing the scrolling Image.
What is the largest graphic one can display using the mx.controls.Image ?

I have been working on a subtitles engine for flash/flv video player. On my Mac everything is great, nice aliased glyphs, displaying all the characters, etc. Switch to windows, it all goes out the window. Some machines with Eastern Characters enabled display fine, but I can't guarantee all users will have this option selected.
I am using the TLFTextField, I am pulling in UTF-8 XML with Chinese/Japanese characters. I have tried embedding the (required fonts/glyphs) but pushes the file size up massively. I have also tried changing it to unicode, with no joy. Has anyone got any experience with displaying these characters while maintaining a low file size.

I'm trying to add some animation into my flex application, so I've made an animated .swf that I want to embed into the application. The problem I'm having is if I use a SWFLoader, it comes up with a solid background colour, the same as the container window, I can't seem to get rid of this,
I have searched the internet thoroughly for a resolution and spent an entire day at work unable to sort this problem out. I am using Flex 3.2 sdk and Adobe Air 1.5.0
Embedding as a symbol is also a possiblity I've tried, and would prefer to do it that way if possible as it will make it easier to add code to stop/start the animation at different positions.
The component I am adding the animation to is a TitleWindow, not sure if thats relevant but maybe it makes a difference!

I have been trying to embed a font into a project I am working and its just not happening. I am having 2 problems first I am trying to embed a font that I do not have installed on my machine (Helvetica Neue Bold), I do have a copy of the otf file though. As far as I know what I have tried should work however when I run the swf I only get Times New Roman. From the enumerated fonts I can see the font has embedded but it just wont show. Secondly if I replace the Helvetia font with one I do have on my machine (Arial for example) the text displays with the correct font but if I then set embedFonts = true the text disappears.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

How can i embed images and videos in swf through actionscript in flash? I am reading an xml through actionscript (3.0) and loading the content But is it possible to embed them and when a compile it , i get swf with content embedded in it (this possibly eliminates the need of giving the content separately with swf )?

[URL] so I can load an external text file into a text box in flash. All that works fine but I'm having problems trying to embed a jpg into it. I have been searching the web and all I've found is that you use the "<img src>" method as you would with any html document. From what I have read, you place that code into the .txt file like I have done:
content=B. Clarke 12sg.
<img src="images/misc/briantech.jpg">
Sifu B. Clarke receiving his 1st Tech grade by Keith Kernshpect
I have followed kirupa's tutorial [URL] exactly and the only change I have made is changing the word "myNews" to "content" in the AS and start of .txt file.

Heres a direct link to the swf. (Flash Player 9 Req) [URL] Note that it loads random images to the right.
Now, when I embed this same swf into the actual site: [URL]

I have 2 .swf files - home.swf and gallery.swf. Home.swf acts as a preloader and loads gallery.swf. This file contains links that when clicked, will change the thumbnails shown in the galleryswf file. Gallery.swf is basically an image wall that uses various XML files to populate itself.
So, the idea is this: When a user clicks on a link in the home.swf, I would like the current gallery to tween off the stage while the new gallery tweens on the stage from the other side. This all works so far.
What I don't know how to do is make sure that all of the thumbnails in the new gallery are loaded BEFORE tweening it onto the stage. I have event listeners in the gallery.xml file that listen for when the XML has completed loading and I have listeners in the home.swf file to listen for when the gallery has loaded. However, when the home.swf loads the gallery.swf, it is doing just that an not waiting for the images in the gallery to load first. So, I am getting a blank gallery to slide onto the page and the user watches the thumbnails show up as they load.
My goal is to get home.swf to load the gallery.swf and not show it or start tweening it until all of the thumbnails have been loaded.
So, my question is, when home.swf is loading the new gallery.swf, how do I get it to fire the complete event after all of the thumbnails have been loaded by the gallery.swf file?[code]...

I'm trying to load some jpeg's into my movieclips. They are loading, but my height is displaying wrong. The image is 64x100px. I'm changing my movieclip to show the same size, but the display of the image is stretched.Doing a Debug of the movie, the movieclips show the correct dimensions, but the images are still stretched vertically somehow. My _xscale and _yscale are both at 100.
This is in actionscript 2.0. I've ran this file on both MX2004 and CS3, with the same result. The images aren't progressive,
Code:
numImages = 30;
spacing = 10;
x_pos = 0;
y_pos = 0;[code]..........

I have an XML slideshow displaying random images.
It works but sometimes duplicates the same images or displys the same image way more than the others...
Is there an action I can call so ALL my images play once in random order, before they get to be displayed for a 2nd time?[code]...

I've been handed a few Flash files written in CS4, but in ActionScript 2. I know enough ActionScript to be dangerous, but I am far from a Flash developer.
At the high level, the Flash file loads an image, rotates a portion of the center of the image, and allows the user to drag the rotated piece into the proper position (solving a puzzle, basically).
This worked GREAT when the images were loading from the local server. We've changed to remote cloud hosting for the images, though, and now are experiencing issues.
The images still load (we have all of the security and cross-domain policy files in place), but any time we try to rotate the center portion of the image we get a plain gray box instead of the rotated portion of the image.
What's weirder is that the rotated image portions show up fine in the IDE Flash player. But when viewed through a web browser the static portion of the image will load, but the rotated portion will not.

I've built a simple webcam snapshot application - a user uses webcam to take a picture which is saved in a folder. All pictures are saved in same folder and now i have to display three latest images on a flash banner that is located in another server. With PHP, i managed to sort the pictures in an array from latest to oldest and dislay them on the a website. Now i have to dipslay three of the latest images on the banner and not sure how to pass this information to the Flash banner? All i have to do is to pass the path of the three latest images and load them into movieclips. Any tips where to start?

I have this problem with some stock code I've modified. Everything was working great until I tested it online, and found it was slow as all heck. It turns out that instead of loading and adding all the images one at a time, it loads all the files from the XML, and then adds them all to children, which in my case is 45 large images/swfs. would very much prefer to use this code over starting with a new XML Slideshow, as I've customized this one with tweener and a button which loads another version of the current image when hovered over (this is working fine at the moment as wellI am only going to post the code that is necessary otherwise this page will be huge.
