I'm trying to convert an image in my assets folder
"./assets/image1.png"
to type Object. It needs to be Object because that's what the function I'm using it in is expecting.
Any ideas what would be the simplest way to do this?
Due to screen density of iPhone, image assets are developed larger. So, when specifying the icons and images to Flex components takes this form.
<s:ViewNavigator id="tab1" label="Tab1 width="100%" height="100%" firstView="views.Tab1">
<s:icon>
<s:MultiDPIBitmapSource source160dpi="@Embed('assets/tabIcon.png')"/>
</s:icon>
</s:ViewNavigator>
Flex of course renders this correctly and adjusts the size to what it should be. However, when I load images myself, they appear blown up as they would appear double in size. This is how I use it when overriding the tab bar.

i have situation in which i have some library projects, say
"DataProcessors","Lib2"
, included in my lets say "MainProject" (a web project) placed on directory
"E:in-debugMainProject.swf"

"E:DataProcessors.swf"
not found but i have those lib files on

View 2 RepliesI'm giving users the ability to upload an image to my Air app, then displaying this image in an image control. But I need to allow for PDF uploading in the same manner, so I need to convert the PDF to an image. I only care about the first page of the PDF they upload for now. What I'm doing is:
1) User browses for a file with the file reference control
2) User chooses the image or PDF to upload
3) I encode said image to base64 and store it
4) I then load from that base64 with something like:

I want to convert pdf file into an image in felx, i dont want to use any server side language, just from flex AIR
View 1 RepliesI need to do this conversion so that I can determin the drag drop colour a puck lands on.
possibly involving:
ImageSnapshot
BitmapData
This would be in Flex 4
The solution should be straight forward but I cannot find it, my problem it's that I'm reading a xml, and one of the properties inside the xml it's a Bitmap path(string), when I`m reading this xml I would like to convert this string to a Bitmap Obj so I can use through my MXMLs.
View 4 RepliesI'm now writing a simple socket application for my own learning purposes. It will be a really simple BlackJack application.I was thinking for ways to manage 52 different cards in my app. I could make those 52 cards, as 52 images and then, maybe load them into movieclips at runtime. Or, I could take one big image with all of the cards on it, and create a masked movieclip, and then, shift and slide the image's position, so that the correct graphic of the card shows.y question is: which way is faster? Will flash be better with handling 52 small images, lets say 20x40 (in reality, i will only load like 6 of them in the display list, since black jack almost never deals with huge amount of cards). Or would it be faster, if I had a big image with all the cards (~160x160 maybe) and just reused that with different masking, calculated on runtime?
View 1 RepliesI want an air application to be able to update the assets it uses, but minimizing the download needed, so only downloading files added since it last updated.I'm thinking this would include a server portion which would zip the needed files based on a version number? Has anyone implemented anything similar / got any thoughts on the best approach to building this sort of system?

View 3 RepliesI have an image slideshow program working right now and it takes in a folder of a hard coded in number of images. I would like to change this so that it can take in a folder and will display all of them no matter the number. Is there a way to do this in flash? I'm thinking something like the foreach loop in perl or other scripting language. It is possible to store then number of images in a text file but I also don't know how to read that in flash either. I'm working in actionscript 3.
View 2 RepliesI wanted to load image from a folder. I wanted to load the last 30 images to the stage. How can I do it?
ActionScript Code:
var l:Loader;
var r:URLRequest;
var loc:String = 'cards/card%.png';
function loadCardNum(n:int):void {
l = new Loader();
r = new URLRequest(loc.replace('%',n));
trace("Will load card from: "+loc.replace('%',n));
Currently the code I'm using can only load picture with the file name starting from 0. And it will stop loading the image if there is any image missing between the 30 images. How can I make it load from the last 30 images uploaded and enable to continue load in the images if there is any image missing in between? I have the limit of 30 set on somewhere else. Where it will stop loading after it reached 30.
im using the jpgEncoder class to create an image file and what im trying to do is save that to a folder on a server, then im going to read the contents of the folder back into flash. I cant for the life of me figure out how i get the image to the folder though, i know the jpeg is being created as ive been saving it to my own pc. Can i just send the image straight to a folder without the need for php?
View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to compile my Flex project with an ANT build script.One of my MXML components references an external XML data file, like this:
<mx:XML id="treeData" source="assets/data/help.xml" />
When I build the project using Flex Builder, it compiles fine. However, when I try to compile it using ANT, I get the following error:
Error: Problem finding external XML: assets/data/help.xml
How come ANT isn't finding the XML file? Apparently it knows the source path otherwise it would not have found the component to begin with. I added the source path to the target anyway, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference:
<source-path path-element="${SRC}" />
My main.swf loads symbols from other swfs at runtime. If I keep all the swfs(main and others)on my server, things work fine. But if I keep all of them on a CDN, one particular symbol won't display occassionally. With flash tracer plugin for firefox I am able to see that all the symbols have been loaded and their z-indices are as they should be.
View 1 RepliesI wanted to create a flash application like this [URL] but the only difference is I want to save my image into the default folder with different names. I don't need for prompting to save the image but instead it will automatically saved in the default folder when you click the save icon. Here's the link I followed for the sample link above [URL]

View 1 RepliesIs there any way to program XML to call on ALL the images in a folder and have them work in a flash slide show. Rather than identifiying them by thier specific names can a system be used to identify what order they are to be presented regardless of how many you add or remove from the folder?
in other words is their a way to make an XML viewer that is adaptive and not restricted to "specified" images in a folder. It will just display the all the images that are currently in that folder.
Is there a way to take a compiled SWF file and figure out how much of it's size is used by code and how much is assets (images, etc)? I'd like to see if I can get my Flex SWF smaller but I'm unsure what's taking up the most space.
View 1 RepliesI have an SWC which includes a number of Assets for my project. Within this SWC is also a static AS file which contains Class declarations for each image in the library. For example, the SWF contains these images:

I have a Flex project in which I am embedding a Flash SWF containing an image viewer. The SWF file I'm embedding is supplemented by an XML file, which contains a list of images to show, and an images folder containing the images. The problem I'm running into is that the embedded SWF file is unable to load the pictures. I am able to see the forward/backward navigation buttons, but there are no loaded images. When I view the SWF file outside of the Flex project it works fine. Is this because Flex isn't allowing the SWF to reach outside and access other project assets?
Here's my code for embedding the SWF:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.events.CloseEvent;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
[Code] .....
I want to create something like gallerea of images. All images are defined within an XML file. The XML file itself sits in the project directory and embedded this way:
[Embed(source="xml/data.xml")]
public var testXml:Class;
The file structure looks this way
[code]....
Ok this is what I would like to do. My project I am working on has an app that will upload image files to a specific folder on my server what I would like to do is have it load all the files in that folder through flash without me having to manually add the names of the files into the coding if possible.
I can create an image slideshow but I have to put in each and every .jpg and such I would prefer not to do that as in the future there may be more then 5-10 images.
In addition I already have the app created that uploads files.
I've embedded a SWF into a class using this syntax above my class definition:
[Embed (source='/../assets/MyMovieClips.swf', symbol='SpecialMovieClip')]
public class SpecialMovieClip extends MovieClip
The MovieClip asset seems linked with my class okay, and instantiates along with it, and is visible, but:
I can't access instances placed on stage within that clip. The timeline scripting seems non-functional.
Is this the drawback of embedding SWF files at compile-time with the Flex SDK? So, maybe I should just go back to compiling with the Flash IDE if I want timeline scripting or instances positioned on-stage?
I have an Air application that lets users import jpg, png and swf files and use them as the source to an Image which they can drag around a Canvas.he import function copies the selected file to an images directory inside ApplicationStorageDirectory.When I click on an Image that has an swf as its source, I get a Security Sandbox Violation (eg. SecurityDomain 'app-storage:/Project1/images/menuBarBkgd.swf' tried to access incompatible context 'app:/Main.swf'). My mouseDown handler doesn't get called so I can't select it and allow it to be dragged.
