Javascript :: Defer Loading Elements Until Flash Gallery Images From XML File Finish Loading?
Nov 15, 2010
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
Suppose I have 5 links that load different SWF files. I'm loading the first one in the background and I will continue to load the other SWFs once the previous one has completed.Suppose a user clicks link 4 but only SWFs 1 and 2 have been fully loaded and SWF 3 is currently being loaded. Would it be possible to pause loading 3 and skip to part 4 and finish loading that?
I just created my first website, but one of my AS3 XML image galleries are not working properly. I followed the XML Grid gallery tutorial at to "T" and am using it on 5 of my pages, however, the "PRODUCTS" will not load the "full" images.The thumbnails load, they decrease opacity when moused over, but once you click on one, the progress bar loads till complete and just stops. This problem, however, only occurred after I hosted it on When I test it (Ctrl+Enter) in Flash, test it in Dreamweaver or open the .html of it from my computer, everything works perfectly. It is only after I FTP upload all the files to iPage's server that this problem occurs. Is it a problem with Ipage?Are too many images trying to load??Furthermore, for some odd reason the 1st image, 4th row down on the "Products" page DOES load the full image but the others still dont and I can't for the life of me figure out why
I currently have a photography website that calls a javascript file from the html page. there are nine galleries of photos and this javascript file loads all the images as soon as the viewer lands on the page where they can select the galleries.
my problem:
the photos load in order from top galleries in the list to bottom, which fits most viewers' patterns (from analytics). however, if a viewer clicks a bottom gallery and wants to see a photo, they have to wait till all prior photos are done loading.
here is the url [URL]
instead, what I would like to happen is that whenever the user clicks a gallery, the swf calls for a javascript file to load the images of just that gallery. right now I have a few on(release) commands.
I modified some code for loading xml images into a gallery that I found somewhere, but I have no idea how to go about preloading the images. Everything works fine, I would just like to know the best way of going about doing this. Here's the code I got:
This is really strange, and I'm not sure what the problem could be. I essentially made an XML/Flash image gallery where the images are loaded dynamically. I followed this tutorial:[URL]When I tried the site with the "www" in IE6, it warns me that the some Active X control is attempting to be installed, and blocks the whole flash block (even though the other flash along the sides show up fine in IE6)Edit: By the way, just to be clear, the FLASH is loading in both cases, but when the "www" is present, the images do not load from the XML file, even though the flash movie itself is visible and loaded.
I watched a tutorial for a link that loads an image into a container with the code
var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/c1.jpg"); var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader(); load1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickF); function clickF(event:MouseEvent):void { img1Loader.load(img1Request); img1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadNowF); function loadnowF(event:Event):void {
[Code]...
is there a way to load additional images into the same container to make a picture gallery?I tried adding additional lines duplicating the "var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/c1.jpg");" by changing everything from 1 to 2 and so on but still errors, and i'm clueless Also another question, several tutorials tell to add actions to movie clips but i keep getting the "current selection cannot have actions applied to it"
I have followed Kirupa's XML Image Gallery tutorial. Before you ask, I have double checked my code. When I hit command+enter (mac) to preview it, everything works just fine. XML loads the correct images. My problem is when I publish it and upload it via FTP to my web server, ONLY the first image displays. When I click the next button, the first image fades out, but then it fades back in. The captions and image numbers change (like they're supposed to), but the image does not.
It remains on the first image. I know that it is able to access the XML because it loads the first image specified in the XML. That image was never imported into the Flash document. I have double checked my paths, too. All of the paths are correct. Also, I'm sure that it's not accessing a local file, because for each path, I specify the full URL, such as "[URL]", rather than just "/images/image.jpg". What do I need to do to fix this? You can see what I'm talking about by going to [URL] and clicking on "photo+art".
I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
I have a photo gallery that is XML based. In IE everything works fine. In Firefox, the gallery will load all the thumbnails and then hang up when loading the large image. The trouble is this only happens on the galleries that have a lot of images in them. It works fine with smaller galleries. Since it's xml driven, the images are not loaded until called for and all the thumbnails get loaded. I did see a post about a var being collected for garbage if it's defined inside a function, but I've tried to limit that to just declaring a new image to be displayed. My site is: [URL]. If for some reason you get a page saying that this site is under construction, click the link to the gallery again. I don't know why that keeps bringing up an old page.
I have a flash file that loads external images randomly onto the stage! That part works just fine. I have placed the code for loading images on the second frame of the flash file. What I want to do is to create a button on the second frame so when the users click on it the flash file will go back on the first frame. (Basically a Back Button). I did create a button and it will go back to the first frame once its clicked. However the image that loaded on the second frame will stay on the stage when the flash file's gone back to the first frame. I need to remove the image loaded on the second frame as well when it has gone back to the first frame!!
This is Actionscript Code: stop(); var pHeight:Number = 346; var pWidth:Number = 263; var listLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("filelist.xml") ); var picLoader:Loader = new Loader(); [Code] .....
I making a game leaderboard on facebook. I'm not using connect but working inside the canvas. When I try to load the images from facebook it gives me the following error.
SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://test cannot access http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v22941/254/15/q652310588_2173.jpg A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.
I was working on this flash for a website. I was using swish max2 to create the flash, then after I finish the flash, I checked it on my pc before uploading it to the site, it worked fine. After I've uploaded it to the site the preloader doesn't finish loading. I've to refresh it again and again to make it complete to 100%. I tried to reduce the size from 700kbps to 409kbps by removing and optimizing pictures inside the flash but it still stops loading. I tried to put it on another site and preview it alone by typing the url for the flash file, but it's still the same.
I have started putting together a flash based website to present my works. I am dynamically loading thumbnails and the larger companions using an XML file. Everything seems to work fine on my comp but when I upload it to my host sever the larger images do not want to load and on occasion a page of thumbnails doesnt want to load. My address is [URL]. Also the code I am using only places one image atop another, so when I click on a thumbnail it will place the larger image on top of the last it does not take the previous one away. which can be a problem if one image is smaller than the last. or if I wanted to load movie clips.
Here is the AS of one page. //XML Trails stuff //var to hold Tween; var fadeTweenPhotoP1:Tween // Creating image txtfield var imageTextPhotoP1:TextField = new TextField(); // Instance of loader class var imageLoaderPhotoP1:Loader; [Code] ....
In a buttons code, how would I say finish loading, then play. Here is what I have: btn.onRelease = function(){ loadMovie(movie.swf); //finish loading code goes here gotoAndPlay("label"); }
While trying to develop some Android app I ran into the following problem:I load an swf file to a WebView, that makes js calls. I want to catch those js calls, so I useWebViews.addJavascriptInterface() to do so.Everything worked just fine when i loaded the swf file from a remote server, but when I load the same swf file form the Android file system, the javascript methods seem not to run (at least I cannot see them).
I am loading thumbs from an xml file and placing them into one container (sprite), which i later use for scrolling based on mouse position with this formula:
I have typical situation where big loop is loading lots of images and its done asynchronous which make browser to frees during loading and I want to make it synchronous but having big trouble doing it. I found this class synchronous loader and it work great but you cant add mouse event listener to loader. Here is sample code:
I have used an as class which is pretty simple Code: package{ import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.net.URLRequest; public class Thumbnail extends Sprite { private var url:String; [Code] .....
Relating to my four pictures. All of the names are correct, everything is correct, so not sure why I am getting this error. Even wierder is when I comment out 3 of the images in the xml file, and just try the one image, I get no error at all (The picture isn't displaying, but atleast I get no error).
I am a self taught photographer and web designer, well I was taught html but that's it. I've been working on a site and I cannot get my images to load from a php file with actions script. Its part of my intro page and I want it to play images from a php file.
When I check it in flash I get an error 'file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Home/Desktop/mysites/photography/extra/undefined'" (Several times) My fla/swf files are in the photography dir My .php file is in the photography/files dir And all my images and in the photography/images
My program reads a rather large data file that is crucial to the display of the program I am making.I have an event listener that waits for my loader to load all data from the file, and it then adds all the data (and parses it) to a 2d array.Unfortunately the program flow doesnt wait for the loading to finish, so when it checks the array, it is still empty because nothing is loaded into the array yet.
I have built an image/video scroller in Flash 8. It loads images and flv files from an external xml file. It allows you to scroll through the images using a left and right button. The image in the middle is clickable, and when you click on it, it loads the cooresponding flv for that image and plays the flv. It all works great, except from time to time, the video control components become unactive - they are there, but do not work. Currently, I just have the playpause button. When this happens it becomes active again at the end of the video. It seems to happen more frequently in FF than in IE. If you contact me I can give you a link to a page where this is working.
Here is the main code: import mx.video.FLVPlayback; var picnums; var my_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); my_format.font = "Arial"; my_format.size=14; [Code] ......
How can I load jpg files into a flash archive? Do they necesarily be converted into swf files? Can I apply a mask on the flash file without changing the original image file?
I was wondering is there a way to load images at run time that are loaded from an external webhost. Basically i want to be able to store the addresses of the images into an array and then each slide is going to contain 1 image, which will load the next image in the array when the user clicks the next button.
I'm fine with getting the array setup etc, but need to know is it possible to use web addresses and load images at runtime?? Aswell as defining a size and position for where the image will appear.
I'm not sure if Flash 8 supports this loading on the fly so the speak?? Basically I will update the images when required by replacing them with the same name and address where the photos are being hosted, but the program will still load from the same address, therefore showing the updated images.

I need to dynamically load images from an XML file and I usually find badly written tutorials that I can't understand or I find a .fla but don't understand the code in it.
I'm new to XML and am having trouble figuring out the following: 1. Loading an image from XML into flash, then resizing the image with actionscript in flash 2. The correct way to load text and URL links from an XML file
