Problem loading Image through XML!

Hi,
I am Akshay and am beginner in this forum. I am trying to load images using flickr API and having problem.
I am doing it in following fashion:
1) I am calling the Httpservice to get the xml through flickr API as
<s:HTTPService id="photoService" url="http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/....FullAPI" resultFormat="e4x" result="photoResultHandler(event);" fault="photoFaultHandler(event);"/>
2) In photoResultHandler I am retrieving the XML
private function photoResultHandler(re:ResultEvent):void
photoXml= re.result as XML;
However, I am struggeling to retireve elements from photoXML and then use it to display image in :
<mx:Image id="img0" x="151" y="98" width="520" height="291"/>
The XML structure is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<feed">
<entry>
<author> </author>
<link rel="enclosure" type="image/jpeg" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4484460580_04bbced2d8_o.jpg"/>
</entry>
<entry>
</entry>
I need to load the href value of link which can be found in feed-->entry-->link in the above xml.
Please help!

Problems loading images dynamically with XML

Hi Everyone,
I am working with a project that was build by another
developer and I have been asked to modify it several ways. This is
an interactive map for a hotel brand where when you click on the
USA, you get a list of all the states, click a state and a list of
all the hotels in that state comes up, click a hotel, the hotel's
information is displayed. I understand the structure of the files,
how they make them work, though I couldn't build it myself.
The problem I am having is this. can't make the hotels'
photos load into the flash through the XML. I created a target
movie file that the image could load into but something is not
happening as far as loading the images. I don't know if the movie
clip that I created is the right way to go (it was made as an
object in the library that is exported via AS), or if I should
create one in the action script file that loads the XML data.
I looked at some tutorials about how to load images with XML
but those didn't get into the level of detail that I need for this
project.
I've attached some partial code to see if anyone can help me
work through this.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for the help in advance.

I'm a noob at AS3 and trying to learn this XML stuff myself,
but i have been able to load pictures to the stage...this might
help you...my xml file photo section is similar to yours, only I
have it labeled as "href" instead of "source"...
var imageLoader:Loader;
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xmldata/images.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event) :void {
xml = XML(event.target.data);
xmlList = xml.children();
for (var i:int = 0; i<xmlList.length(); i++) {
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList
.attribute("href")));
imageLoader.x = 0;
imageLoader.y = 0;
addChild(imageLoader);

How do i load an image through XML?

Hi.
My code is below. What I am trying is to dinamically load images from xml. I attach the holder from the library, and when i try to target it and addChild to him i get an error:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("links.xml"));
var xmlLength:int;
var iconPos:Number = 0;
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
var xmlLength = xmlData.link.length();
for (var i=0; i<xmlLength; i++) {
var d:MovieClip = new icon();
content_mc.addChild(d);
d.name = "d"+i;
var target:DisplayObject = content_mc.getChildByName("d"+i);
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(new URLRequest(xmlData.link[i].icon));
target.addChild(ldr);
How can i make this happen and load the image into it's holder?
Thank you.

How to load images using xml in flash

IOException: Problem loading image

Hi foreros
What could be the reason behind an error like this IOException: Problem loading image except it cannot find the jar path for the images?
Regards

Without more information, I'd say there's not enough available RAM to load the image.

Send Image through xml file

Hey guys,
I want to send an JPEG image through xml file. i dont want to just give the URL of the image but i want to actually send the image through xml. Im new in XML so can you please give me a working sample code.
Thank you so much.

Working code will not be difficult to write. Jpeg or other binary info can be encoded in xml using base64 encoding or some other encoding algorithm.
After base64 encoding you will get some text which will be the base64 equivalent of the image data. This text can be placed in CDATA section of your image element and transferred.
On the receiving end you will need to decode the text. After this what u have is the binary data for ur image.
It will not be difficult to find libraries for base64 encodin/decoding on the net.
Hope it helps

Problem loading images - please help

Hi,
I have a slight problem loading images. I'm using netbeans 5.0 and have a few packages setup in a project called Maths. In a package called LineConnection theres a class that needs to read an image and display it on screen. To load the image I use:
URL url = getClass().getResource("fraction/pic1.png");
Image img1 = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(url);This loads the image and I can display it on screen fine.
The problem is that the folder fractions with the images in HAS to be located within the Maths/build/class/LineConnection folder otherwise it wont load the image and I get a null pointer exception.
I want to be able to have the folder containing the images in folder Maths so that it's one folder above the src folder. But if I put it here (or anywhere else) the images can't be found and loaded.
Could someone tell me why the images can only be found if they're within the build folder because it's causing me some problems when I try to create an executable JAR.
Cheers

I've used:
URL url = ImageHandler.class.getResource("fractions/q0.png");
System.out.println("URL = " + url);to determine whether the file is found.
If I put the file in the folder build/classes/LineConection/fractions/q0.png then it finds the image and prints the file path.
But, if I put it in another folder such as the src folder it can't find the image and url = null;
How can I make netbeans search in other folders for the resources so I can store them where I like?

Load images from XML to specific movieclip

I'm still begginer. I have to load images in specific movieclip, because they're loading over all the other layers. What should I do?
I made a simple slideshow by tutorial.
I guess it would be better that I show all the code not specific parts:

my_xml_loader.load(new URLRequest("sshow.xml"));

    var my_xml:XML=new XML(e.target.data);

function onFadeOut(e:TweenEvent):void {
    my_image_slides.removeChildAt(0);

I don't see a problem in the code you provided. All the pictures are put in single one MovieClip, my_image_slides. Of course, there can be only one DisplayObject in a DisplayObjectContainer's layer (depth), so when you call function addChild again and again, the child displayObjects keep stacking up one on the other. I found one strange thing though:
my_tweens_array[0]=new Tween(my_image,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,2,true);
Why would you create an array just to limit it to one item and overwrite it every time? I would use this instead:
my_tweens_array.push(new Tween(my_image,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,2,true));
Can you upload it somwhere so we can see it in action? At this point I can only guess what the problem is.

Problems loading images in JavaHelp

Using Helpsetmaker to drop the helpset I have had problems with loading images.
Helpsetmaker keeps any imported images in a pics/<folder>/<folder> heirachy, where the subfolder heirachy is based upon the 'root directory' used to import images.
The html docs produced are used OK, but the images are not loaded correctly.
HTML is fine, so the helpset files in general produced by the utility are OK.
If I move the images to the root of the helpset i.e. the same
location as the html, & edit the html <img> tags to reflect the new location they are loaded
correctly so no problems with image files as such.
AFAIK JavaHelp does not impose restrictions on locating files in subfolders, am I missing something?

Having had a spare moment to look at the problem again this was a case of seeing what you want to see.
HelpSetMaker was actually dropping tags src="pics\folder\folder/image.png"

How can I load images without XML, please?

Hello Everyone,
I would highly appreciate it if someone can point me into the right direction. I have some AS2 code which loads up the images via an xml file. I have been asked to eliminate XML entirely and have images be loaded from with in the library. Aside from images, there are other xml nodes such as:
image_name, image_description and such.
What would be the best way going about eliminating the XML and getting the code to load images and other related info from the library. I would highly appreciate your help on this, please.
Thanks a lot.

create arrays that contain the same info as the xml.
p.s. and, you'll use attachMovie() instead of loadMovie().

Problem loading images from a return value of a function

hello, I write because I uin problem in loading images from a return value of a function.
I created a database with a field "image" of type string, where I put the physical address of the image. I have written like this: {__DIR__ }foto.jpg
Place the code, so you understand better
function imageViewImage(): javafx.scene.image.Image {
connetti();
lass.forName(driverName);
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,"");
stmt = con.createStatement();
var richiesta:String = "SELECT image from viaggio WHERE id_viaggio=7";
rs1 = stmt.executeQuery(richiesta);
var result :String;
rs1.next();
risultato = rs1.getString("image");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, result);
var imagez = Image{
url:"{result}";
return imagez;
The image is in the source code package
First I connect to the database, run the query and I take the contents of the image.
Can anyone help me?
Is right to put in the database {__DIR__} foto.jpg or do I put only foto.jpg?

Hello unkus_nob,
I would rather suggest you to save only filename of that image like "foto.jpg" in database. And just concat it with the String variable containing "{__DIR__}".
Actually the javafx compiler converts the {__DIR__} to the existing class directory path something like : "jar:file:/..../".
var currentDir ="{__DIR__}";
risultato = "{currentDir}{rs1.getString("immagine"})";
var image = Image{
url:risultato
return image;--NARAYAN G.

Problem loading image from jar file referenced by jar file

First, I searched this one and no, I didn't find an answer. Loading images from jar files has been pretty much done to death but my problem is different. Please read on.
I have my application, a straight up executable running from Eclipse. It uses a jar file, call it JarA. JarA launches a GUI that is located in another jar file. Call it JarB. To recap:
My application calls JarA -> JarA loads classes from JarB -> JarB looks for images to place in a GUI it wants to show on the screen
When JarB goes to load an image the following happens:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at sun.misc.URLClassPath$3.run(URLClassPath.java:316)
     at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
     at sun.misc.URLClassPath.getLoader(URLClassPath.java:313)
     at sun.misc.URLClassPath.getLoader(URLClassPath.java:290)
     at sun.misc.URLClassPath.findResource(URLClassPath.java:141)
     at java.net.URLClassLoader$2.run(URLClassLoader.java:362)
     at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
     at java.net.URLClassLoader.findResource(URLClassLoader.java:359)
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(ClassLoader.java:977)
     at org.cubrc.gmshell.gui.MainWin.preInit(MainWin.java:152)
     at org.cubrc.gmshell.gui.MainWin.<init>(MainWin.java:135)
The code from JarB that loads the image looks like this:
          URL[] oSearch = {Main.class.getResource("images/")};
          URLClassLoader oLoader = new URLClassLoader(oSearch);
          imgIcon = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("icon.gif"));
          imgMatchRunning = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("gears.gif"));
          imgMatchStill = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("gears-still.gif"));
          imgMagnify = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("magnify.gif"));This looks right to me and JarB certainly has an images directory with those files. But I'm in hell right now because I don't know where to place the images to make this work or if you can even attempt to load images with a dependency chain like this.
Any help very appreciated!

Have you tried to move your image-files out of the jar file and place them in the sam folder as the jar-file? I think that would help.
When you try to load the image-file you get the NullPointerException because the program tries to read a file it can't find. Remember that a jar file IS a file and not a directory.
If you want to read somthing inside the jar-file you need to encode it first.
Have you tried to read the jar-file with winRar. It makes it easy to add and remove files in your jar-file.

Problems loading Images

Hello !
I'm trying to make a small card game.
I have 52 small gif files(68x94 pix;500 byts each).
When I'm loading those cards on a JPanel, it takes to much time (about 15 sec);
I've enabled double-bufering (no changes);
Without loading Images, all the stuff (JButtons,JTextFile, some String paintings, etc.) is coming up instantly.
I'm using a P III 1,1 Ghz, 256 Mo RAM. with WinXP (could be, Bill Gates fault ? -:) )
I've copyed here an extras of code:
class pan extends JPanel{
     Color myC=new Color(0,170,85);
     Toolkit tt=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
     String st="";
     Random rnd=new Random();
     public pan(){setDoubleBuffered(true);}
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
     super.paintComponents(g);
     g.setColor(myC);
     g.fillRect(0,0,800,500);
     int x=220;int y=10;int m;
     for(int i=0;i<4;i++){
          int c=i;
          for(int j=0;j<13;j++){
          int v=j+2;
          switch(c){
          case 0:m=c+v-1;break;
          case 1:m=13+v-1;break;
          case 2:m=26+v-1;break;
          case 3:m=39+v-1;break;
          default: m=52;}
          g.setColor(Color.white);
          g.fillRoundRect(x,y,72,97,13,13);
          g.setColor(Color.black);
          g.drawRoundRect(x,y,72,97,13,13);
          st="Imagini/Cardsgif/"+"C"+m+".gif";
          g.drawImage(tt.getImage(st),x+2,y+2,this);
          x=x+20;
          st="";
          if((j>0)&(j%12==0)){
               y=y+100;
               x=220;


I just started noticing this problem too. On an order confirmation page on Amazon, many of the button graphics were question marks. But it's random. If I refresh the page, some of the images load but others don't load. All of the images load (so it's not an image format problem), but NEVER all at the same time!
(On a side note, it's VERY bad that Safari displays the question mark graphic instead of the alternate image tag text. There was no way to know which question marks (which should be buttons to click on) are for submitting, cancelling, veiwing order details, editing shipping address, etc.)
Even more frustrating is that a friend finally switched to Macs from years of being a PC user. Her brand new Intel iMac is exhibiting the same problem when she views her and her friend's MySpace pages. This was her very first day of Mac ownership, and there was nothing installed on her iMac except what it came with. Everything was still on the default settings. Same thing...refreshing the page would randomly load some images but not others.
It's all a bit embarassing because the "it just works" arguement was one of the things that convinced her to switch to a Mac. I'd like to offer her a fix to overcome this poor first impression.
PS: I'm on Tiger with the Tiger version of Safari. She's obviously on Leopard.

Problem loading image into texture memory

Hi there, I am currently porting our new casual PC game over to the iPad using the pfi, the game was written in Flash so the porting process isn't that hard thankfully, it's mainly just optimizing the graphics.
So far things are going smoothly, I was initially worried about graphical performance, but since we put everything into the GPU that's no longer a concern- it runs super smooth at 60fps at 1024x768, we can have a hundred large bitmaps rotating and alphaing at once with no slowdown.
However there is one weird problem which is really worrying me at this point- it seems that the speed at which images are loaded into video memory as textures is vastly different depending on what else is being run on the iPad, for example:
* If I run my game with nothing else in memory, it will run fine at 60fps, and load up large images into texture memory very fast.
* If I run another App, in this case a Virtual piano app for a while, then close that App via the Home button (so the piano app is still in memory but suspended due to the multitasking), then when I run my game, it will run ok initially, but when I try to load a large (1024x512) image into texture memory it pauses the whole game for several seconds.
* To make matters worse, if I repeat the same test using the RAGE app from ID software (which is very graphically intense), my game actually slows down to 1 fps and runs extremely slowly as soon as I run it and the frame rate never returns to normal. If I then double-click the home button, shut down RAGE, then go back to my game, it will run fine.
I have read that sometimes when you load images into texture memory it will have to reclaim that memory from other apps, but that doesnt exaplain why it slows down every time I want to load something, or why the game would slow right down to a crawl.
So then it seems that having other Apps in memory is slowing down my game, or stopping it from working altogether. Obviously this is not ideal and would stop us from releasing, so is there any way I can stop this, has anyone come across the problem? Please help!
PS. this problem also happens on an iPhone 4, as I have performed the same tests.

Hi _mz84
First thing I noticed, is that you did not close your
<embed> tag
<embed src="gallery1.swf" bgcolor="#421628" width="385"
height="611" wmode="transparent" />
If that doesn't solve your troubles, try the following
container.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="611"
width="385" align="middle" data="gallery1.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="gallery1.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#421628" />
</object>
hope this helps out.

Problem loading image for TrayIcon

This code works great if I'm in Netbeans running my project. No problems.
            //grabbing image for TrayIcon
            String curDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
            Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage
                    (curDir + "\\src\\edunasdesktop\\earth_alert.png");The problem is when I run my jar file from the dist folder in my project folder. The TrayIcon loads just fine,
just with no picture. Do I need to point to a different location or do I need to put the picture elsewhere; or both?
Some pictures I used with the Netbeans GUI Builder on some JLabels are in the same src directory but I used the
Builder to add those pics so I guess I'm a bit unsure on how to do this by hand, as the Builder handled this type situation
in previous occassions.

The [section on icons|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/icon.html#getResource] in the Swing tutorial has information about loading images. The general idea is you use
URL toImage = SomeClass.class.getResource(...);Incendently, if done right then it will work in Netbeans or in a jar. The way you currently have it set the image would have to be in +/src/edunasdesktop/+ within the jar file for the Toolkit to find it.

Problem loading Image through XML!
