I have a media player, which rotates images for the artist it plays. I load the images dynamically into the flash. The flash downloads the same images from the server over and over, how can i cache the images, so flash grabs them from a local cache and not from the server?
View 2 RepliesI've uploaded my slideshow swf to my WIP website (CSS files got overwritten ) Everything is working great. It's looping, I have a preloader animation, ect. The problem I now want to resolve is getting the loader to cache the image files. When the slideshow is told to go back to image[0], it reloads it again. As the whole point of this project was to work around my free web hosting's bandwidth limits, as well as getting more experience working with XML, this simply wont do. Imagine if someone browsing my site left the main page running for a few hours! What I need it to do is to somehow force the browser to cache the images once they are loaded, or at least I think this is what I need to do? Here's the code again:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I am trying to load an image in Flex from different places, and the image always loads from server again and again.Is there any way to load the image from browser cache?
View 1 RepliesI'm doing an Image Cache following this method: [URL] I copied the two as classes, renaming them CachedImage and CachedImageMap. The thing is that I don't want to store the image after being loaded a first time, but while the application is being loaded. For that, I've created a function that is called by the application pre-initialize event. This is how it looks:

Am struggling to find the right as3 code to resize an image once it is dynamically called into the stage and placed in a MC. I am loading using:
var myLoader :Loader = new Loader();
mc.addChild(myLoader);
var url :URLRequest = new URLRequest("myimage.jpg");
myLoader .load(url );
The stage will eventually open up into fullscreen (works ok) so I need to keep the image in its original size which is much bigger than the stage. What I need to do is shrink it on loading to the same height as the stage whilst keeping the width in proportion (oh and center it). I have tried all sorts of codes but cant find anything to work as all I have managed to do is resize the MC containing the image but NOT the image itself.
I have a site which utilizes an xml sheet for it's menus. Sometimes after making changes to the xml, I need to clear the browser's cache to see the updated menu. Sometimes I don't.
View 4 RepliesI would like to do the following trick in a browser:
Create three image files of different size (small, medium, large) from one picture.
First, display the small image in a browser. When a user zooms in the small image replace it with the medium one. Now the user can scroll it within the window up and down, left and right. When a user zooms out the small image replace it with the small one, etc.
I would prefer JavaScript (Flash is the second option). What tool would you recommend ?
I've got a parent SWF that loads in a couple child SWFs. Even though my browser cache is cleared -- it's disabled, in fact -- reloading, or even restarting, the browser doesn't trigger the newest version of the child SWFs to load into the parent SWF. I can even delete the SWF off the FTP server, and it still gives me the last version that was up there.
What's caching the child SWFs, and how do I force them to refresh on my end? I'm not too concerned about the end user, because once the site development is over, the SWF files won't change very often. (They're all loading in XML files that have the cache disabled via PHP cache control and expires headers.)
I'm primarily using Firefox on PC and Mac, but it seems to do the same thing on IE/PC and Safari/Mac. The PC is using my ISP's DNS, and the Mac is using OpenDNS... not sure if that has anything to do with it. The site is hosted on Rackspace Cloud.
This question is more about updating swf and xml files on the browser. I have a gallery site that has muliple swf files loaded on the master swf on button click. These swf files loads an xml file. My problem is that whenever I update the xml or swf file, the browser still has the flash cache stored so I have to manually refresh the file to see the changes. As in, I can't just refresh the index.html. I have to refresh the
/xml/filename.xml or /flash/filename.swf
Which works but then when other people view the site again, they won't know that they have to refresh the files because they don't know the file name or path. Know what I mean? I researched the net and found solutions like using index.php instead of html or using a random variable string like index.php?mod="34342234" but that only seems to update the master swf.
I would like a Flash application to remember the settings that a user on a specific machine or specific browser has earlier set. This is possible, right? What's the most neat way of doing this? Using some kind of a flash cache?
View 3 RepliesAIR seems to keep its own DNS cache when an application is running, and ignores any changes to the OS DNS cache (i.e. ipconfig /flushdns.More specifically, I'm creating multiple URLStream & URLRequest objects over a long period of time in a AIR application. Once the first one connects the host's IP address is cached for the lifetime of the application.And the URLRequest.useCache property,understandably,has no effect on DNS caching.how to force a host name to re-resolve inside a AIR (or Flash) application?
Note: Unfortunately, resolving the IP through a web service and rewriting the URL is not an option as a workaround.The use-case is downloading files from Amazon S3 using signed URLs which are invalidated if modified.
Update: The test results above were gathered on WinXP prior to AIR 1.5.2. Subsequent tests using 1.5.2 show serialized requests with URLStream.load() are re-resolved more frequently but still ignore TTL values.I still haven't figured out what conditions are necessary to trigger the re-resolution, but have noted a couple of cases that prevent it.For instance, if another asynchronous URLStream is active to the same host then requests use the cached IP address and are not resolved. And simply closing and dereferencing all streams to a host is not sufficient to ensure the same host name will be re-resolved in the next request.
I'm looking for a in-browser image editing solution to integrate with my project: [URL].. I got it working with Pixlr quite easily and the editor is fantastic .. however it's a hosted service, which means I must be connected to Internet for it to work ..
Is there any other solution like Pixlr but that are not hosted service ?

I frequently update my website. But customers do not see immediately the changes as the cache displays the previous version.

I'm wondering if its possible to do what I'm thinking, and if it is possible, does anyone know of a flash object that does what I need? I know a Flash object can provide a javascript API to interact with it, what I dont know is can Flash send an email directly without the need to talk to the webserver to do so? If thats possible would it not be possible to write a flash object that did nothing but provide an API to send emails? Has such a thing been created that is out there for others to use?
I'm looking to create a email form on a web page but the site is static (no server scripting). In my situation server scripting is not possible as there is no server, the site is 100% client side on a CD/DVD/USB Stick.
I used Gaia framework to build a self-scrolling slideshow. There are only 4 pages in all, but I have realized to my dismay that each of these pages are requested over and over from the server. If you leave the page open and the animation goes by itself, that can clobber our server.
What can I do to prevent this? I wonder if there is a way of writing a URLRequest so the pragma header can tell the browser to use the swf from its cache rather than requesting it again?
Note that I am not using SWFaddress so the requests are going to the same URI.
i working on a project that load images localizend on a server. For optimize the RAM usage i remove the images when they aren't shown, and re-load them when is necessary.
But are this images saved into the PC cache so that the second, third, forth... time that i call it, they will be loaded instantly? Or flash need to download it every time from server?
I am new to Flash and am trying to make a page that has a fullscreen image gallery with individual thumbs along the bottom. I can more or less figure this out using some templates,but I need to do this for over 50 different projects, each with anywhere from 1-100 images.Is it possible to make more of a container that dynamically loads from a folder of images rather than have to make each one by hand?
View 1 RepliesSuppose you have a slideshow movie that loads content such as images or Flash movies itself and continually replaces content with new images or movies as a viewer browses through content. Is there a way to store images or movies that have been loaded so that if the same content is selected they do not have to downloaded again? Presumably once content has been unloaded or something has ben loaded into the same level the data is wiped from memory and has to be downloaded if it is displayed again. How could content be stored in Flash or does the content stored in the browser cache take care of this?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a color picker using getPixel. It works wonderfully as long as the image is loaded from a local drive. When I try loading it from the server (a subdirectory on the same server as the SWF), the loaded image doesn't get drawn when I use the draw command. It draws a white rectangle and when I use getPixel, I always get 0xFFFFFF. I also have system.Security.allowDomain("[URL]") in my script, but nothing works.

I'm building an image gallery which creates thumbnails by sizing down the original images and once you click on one of them it duplicates itself and displays on top with full scale. I searched the web and everybody say duplicating dynamically loaded image can not be done and only solution is to reload the image. And because they are cached when they were first loaded it shouldn't take much time to get loaded. Also I heard that there is way to force the browser to cathe the image...

My description for my problem(with layer numbers/names) starts from here: Layer-1: I am loading an external image(.jpeg) onto the stage dynamically when "Submit" button(which is created & placed in Layer1) is clicked using the following sample code:
[code]...
The jpeg image is loaded perfectly and works fine.
Layer-2:When I click on this loaded image, a Pop-up must be visible. So, I created Pop-up in Layer2, which is nothing but a MovieClip(with instance-name myPopup), is a rectangular box with light-yellow colored background, which makes us to feel like a pop-up). So, I created this Pop-up in a layer named "Pop-up". My requirement is : Whenever I click on the image loaded, I need to view the Pop-up upon this loaded image near to the pixel-position where CLICK_Event has occured.To view an example of my requirement,just go through the following [url]Once you open the above url, then you right-click on the right-side image(which is a geographical map). You can view a Pop-up with some of the items(viz., Directions from here, Directions to here, Zoom in, Zoom out & Center map here)
Layer-3:In the same way, in my application ,I want to display few hyperlinks on this pop-up. So, I had created TextFields on the stage(which are hyperlinks) using "Text Tool from ToolsBox" in Layer3 named as "TextFields". I am accessing these TextFields using
<TextField-instance>.htmlText to make it a hyperlink.So, here my problem is: After loading of the jpeg image, When I try to click on the image, the Pop-up(MovieClip) and "Submit" button appears to be under the loaded image and the TextFields are visible over the loaded image.Hence textfields/hyperlinks visibility works fine i.e., on the loaded image as hyperlinks.
Now, What I should do in order to make the MovieClip(Pop-up) and "Submit" button visible on the loaded image?
I'm back and having trouble masking a dynamically loaded image. For some reason I see both the mask and the image...

I am making a swf of surgons.. which going to load in a base moviclip and they scroll ther right left. The problem is its taking to much time so I want a script which will load one by one these files.
Or
A script to load other swf(of surgeons) in browser cache. So when user click on these surgeon they start their work. The voice swf of surgeons. I want meanwhile they load in browser cahce..so its not take time.
I loaded a swf and placed it in a movieclip on the stage. When I try to make this image clickable nothing happens.
Here's my code:
Code:
var sprite = cHolder.addChild(ldr)
sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, displayCat);
If I attach a listener to the movieClip on the stage it works fine but I can't seem to get the image inside of the clip to work.
