AS3 Load external image and add multiple instances to mcs

Hi,
Is there any way to load an external image and add it to more than one movie clip?
Thanks,
Chris McLaughlin

Hi kglad,
I was loading a larger jpeg to which I was applying 20 different masks so using the bitmapdata class to create duplicates was the best solution.
It took me some time to wrap my head around it, but all is well.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Best regards,
Chris

  • Load external images and video in edge

    Hi.
    I am looking into edge instead of flash.
    My question is how do you load external images and videos from an external server?
    To clarify, I need to insert a link from where the images can load into the stage, so they don´t take up any of the final weight.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best,
    Stig.

    The above solution I provided works if you already have the images in your composition and than if you want form load images from another server rather than the relative location to your html file.
    Now if you want to load images dynamically into a rectagle containter you will have to code it.
    below is a sample for that
    Create a 'rectangle' with name 'Rectagle'.
    Add the snippet in the compositon ready or on other user actiosn based on your requirement
    var myImagetag = '<img src="http://wwwimages.adobe.com/include/style/default/SiteHeader/logo-2x.png">'
    sym.$("Rectangle").append(myImagetag);

  • Load external image and animate?

    This may be a naive question, but -
    What is the best method to draw external content (an image
    file) into a Flash movie, AND then ANIMATE that content?
    I assumed I would need to use the LOADER COMPONENT to draw an
    image file from an external URL, but is there a way to then perform
    a simple animation (e.g., slide the image across the stage) with
    the loaded image? I cannot seem to figure out how to manipulate an
    image once loaded (using the LOADER COMPONENT).
    Yes, I am new to Flash, so there may be six other ways to do
    this of which I am not aware.
    Suggestions/solutions?

    use the MovieClipLoader class to load the image into a holder
    movie clip, then use the onLoadInit function to animate the holder
    clip.

  • Load external image and data in video?

    Hi, i'm a newby in After Effects.
    I have a question: is it possible to make one like this video?
    http://www.facebook-studio.com/gallery/submission/don-natale-1
    the first part isn't a problem, but the integration of selected index in the video.... is it possible to make with after effects? And how?
    i think that you can load xml file and define areas in video with after effects, but this is my opinion
    thankyou.
    see you

    If you are trying to recreate this video with AE then just import the various videos, scale them and animate their positions. Parent them to still images you're using as the backdrops.
    If you asking if AE can export XML data or import XML data to bring video's from another source into AE I have to ask what's the point. AE is a program for making videos. It's not a program for creating interactive presentations. For that you'll need to learn HTML 5 or Flash. AE is not at all designed to produce interactive presentations. It's to create visuals effects... It's not even the right tool to make a movie, but it's a great tool to make a great shot.

  • Loading External Images Causes Memory Leak

    I have been working on an Actionscript 2.0 project that basically loads external images.
    Everytime i load and unload a new image, memory increases to 1 or 2 MBs
    If all the images are in cache, then it increased to 4 or 8 KBs
    In the unloading of images, I have removed loader and the container of the image.
    Any thoughts why it is behaving like that?
    Please find the sample code snippet below.
    btn_load.onRelease = function()
    loadImage();
    btn_unLoad.onRelease = function()
    unLoadImage();
    var mcListener:Object = new Object();
    var container1:MovieClip;
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader;
    var loader_reference = this;
    var n=0;
    function loadImage(){
    var image_arr = ["http://xyz.com/image1.png","http://xyz.com/image2.png","http://xyz.com/image3.png","http:/ /xyz.com/image4.png","http://xyz.com/image5.png"];
    var image_url = image_arr[n];
    if(n==image_arr.length-1) {
      n=0;
    }else{ 
      n++;
    container1 = loader_reference.createEmptyMovieClip("container1", loader_reference.getNextHighestDepth());
    mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.removeListener(mcListener);
    mcLoader.addListener(mcListener);
    mcListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip, httpStatus:Number):Void {
    mcListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
      target_mc._x = 300;
      target_mc._y = 200;
      target_mc._width = 300;
      target_mc._height = 250;
    mcLoader.loadClip(image_url, container1);
    function unLoadImage(){
      mcLoader.unloadClip(container1);
      mcLoader = null;
      container1 = null;
      removeMovieClip(loader_reference.container1);
    Thanks in advance.

    that code should only execute once.  fix that.

  • Load external images

    Im wanting to make a photo gallery that I can update easy, I
    thought if I could have a movieclip load external images for my
    thumbnails it would be nice but Im not sure how to set it up. I
    would make a file for my images and then another for my thumbnails,
    then if or when I want to switch out pictures I'd just have to drop
    new images into my folders and not even touch the FLA. Could anyone
    point me in the right direction with the right action script to use
    or a tutorial that explains how this is done..
    And when I say load external I want it so I dont have to
    click on the image for it to load, I want it to just load
    automatically , I would put an invisible button or something to
    that efect over the images for a animated effect.
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't know if you are super enthusiastic about building it,
    or if you just want the utility. If the later is the case, I just
    purchased (cheap) a really great product that does all of what you
    want, fairly automatically, including scaling large pictures down
    to smaller size so that they load quickly.
    I am not sure of the policy of recommending third-party
    applicatons here. So, if you are interested, send an email (private
    message) to me and I will show you the simple site I put together
    using it and where to get it.

  • Pre-loading external images for XML-based gallery

    I'm working-on an XML-based photo gallery here:
    http://www.unionandparkwood.com/demo/flash_gallery/
    It works how I want it, except that the first time a
    thumbnail is clicked for an image, it pauses long enough to skip
    the fade. If you click-through the images a second time, you'll see
    that it works smoothly. My guess is that the first time the
    thumbnail is clicked, the image isn't cached, yet.
    I tried to fix this by creating a JavaScript file for the
    page to pre-load each image and thumbnail:
    0003a = new Image;
    0003a.src = "images/Down-Range.jpg";
    0003b = new Image;
    0003b.src = "thumbnails/Down-Range.jpg";
    But that didn't work. What would be the best way to do this?
    I included a link to "Download ZIP" of the FLA project on
    this page, too, because it wouldn't be easy for me to describe
    what's happening. In a nutshell, a thumbnail click launches a
    function that loads the appropriate image into the main image
    holder. What seems to be happening the first time is the image
    isn't loaded before the fade is finished, so the image just appears
    after a short pause the first time.

    >>What seems to be happening the first time is the
    image isn't loaded before
    >>the fade is finished, so the image just appears after
    a short pause the
    >>first time.
    As has been said many times in thos forum - use the
    MovieClipLoader class to
    load images, and then use that class' onLoadInit method to do
    things with
    the loaded image. Loading is asynchronous - you _have_ to
    wait until the
    image is done loading before doing a fade.

  • Unable to load external image into iOS app with AS3

    Just trying out Flash Builder for iOS app development and have run into a problem right off the bat with loading an external image into an iOS app.  The actionscript is very simple (this was basically my Hello World attempt), and I'm hoping someone here can explain where I'm going wrong.  This code works in Flash Pro, and works when launched on the desktop from Flash Builder, but doesn't work on my iOS devices.
    Here's the code:
                                  var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
                                  addChild(container);
                                  var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
           imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.google.ca/intl/en_ALL/images/logos/images_logo_lg.gif"));
                                  imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, startListener);
      function startListener (e:Event):void{
                                                 container.addChild(imageLoader);
    Any thoughts on why this won't work would be greatly appreciated!

    I had the same issue, and modified my domain policy file as specified  in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.html#_Configuring_URL_M eta-Policies but the loader is not loading the file. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

  • Photoshop open multiple image and add different texts

    Hi All,
    Hope you are all doing great. I just started doing photoshop scripting due to the requirement which I will mention in detail below.
    My scripting is knowledge is very basic so I was hoping you guys could be able to help me out with this.
    The requirment is that I have 100's of images which needs to be opened in photoshop and add text based on the image name then save the image as JPEG at 70 quality. For example:
    I have images named as below in my desktop folder,
    Image1.jpg
    Image2.jpg
    Image3.jpg
    Image4.jpg
    Image5.jpg
    Image6.jpg
    Image7.jpg
    Image8.jpg
    Image9.jpg
    Image10.jpg
    For the script, I think the easiest way is that if I define what image name are:
    image[1] = Image1.jpg
    image[2] = Image2.jpg
    image[3] = Image3.jpg
    image[4] = Image4.jpg
    image[5] = Image5.jpg
    image[6] = Image6.jpg
    image[7] = Image7.jpg
    image[8] = Image8.jpg
    image[9] = Image9.jpg
    image[10] = Image10.jpg
    and for text I have done this:
    text [1] = Image1
    text [2] = Image2
    text [3] = Image3
    text [4] = Image4
    text [5] = Image5
    text [6] = Image6
    text [7] = Image7
    text [8] = Image8
    text [9] = Image9
    text [10] = Image10
    So everytime when I run the script image1 will be added to the photoshop and the text name Image1 will be added (For this I think defining layer name would be better so I will gave "Imagetext").
    Then the image will be saved on a specific location on my desktop.
    I have all this plan on what I want to do but I don't know how to write the script using photoshop API and my limited javascript coding.
    So if you guys could help me out with this, that would be awesome. Hope to hear on this soon.
    Kind Regards,
    Zoogle

    Hi Ghoulfool,
    Thank you very much for taking your time in looking into my question.
    Also thanks for the script you've provided. Your script works perfectly close to my requirements but there are few minor addon that I would like to request please.
    My apologies for not being very clear
    First of all to answer your questions:
    Image size varies but mostly between 1200-1000 pixels.
    Good question regarding text size, I would like to control the size of the text based on how long the character length is.
    Position varies so I would like to adjust it manually or if I could definie within the script that would be superb.
    The images open in new window rather that staying in the currently opend psd, I have other layers which I need to keep it as static and use the script to add the image between these layers.
    I wouldn't mind if all these 100's of images stay in current psd as layers.
    I was hoping if possible I would have more control over what text I would like to put on the image.
    Below is the example , I am sure the code below is wrong but with my limited scripting that's all I could come up with
    This is the code that would be controlling what text/text size appear on images based on the i value:
    var publicPath = 'C:/Users/Username/Desktop/imagesavetest';
    var outputPath = publicPath;
    var imagetext = new Array();
    imagetext[0] = "imagetext0";
    imagetext[1] = "Apple";
    imagetext[2] = "imagetext2";
    imagetext[3] = "Pineapple";
    imagetext[4] = "Orange";
    imagetext[5] = "imagetext5";
    imagetext[6] = "imagetext6";
    imagetext[7] = "Berries";
    for (var i in imagetext) {
      textLength = imagetext[i].length;
      saveMyFile = imagetext;
      theText.contents = imagetext[i].toUpperCase();
      switch (true) {
        case textLength <= 9:
          theText.font = "Arial";
          theText.size = 38;
          theText.contents = imagetext[i].toUpperCase();
          break;
        case textLength > 9 && textLength <= 12:
          theText.font = "Arial";
          theText.size = 28;
          theText.contents = imagetext[i].toUpperCase();
          break;
      saveAsJPEG(outputPath,  saveMyFile);
      counter++;
    And to open files from the user defined location:
    var inFolder = new Folder("C:/Input")
    var image = new Array();
    image[0] = "image0.jpg";
    image[1] = "image1.jpg";
    image[2] = "image2.jpg";
    image[3] = "image3.jpg";
    image[4] = "image4.jpg";
    image[5] = "image5.jpg";
    image[6] = "image6.jpg";
    image[7] = "image7.jpg";
    for (var j in image) {
    if j=0 look for i=0 and add i value as text
    To simplify i'll open psd with layers, add image between existing layers and add text based on the text name which we defined in script.
    Sorry for long post, but hope I have not made this simple process confusing.
    Please do let me know if you have any questions. Hope you hear from you soon and Thanks for your time.
    Kind Regards,
    Zoogle.

  • As3 loaded external jpgs

    developing a ui in flash for photo gallery which I am loading
    into dreamweaver.
    using as3 in flash to load external photo files so not all
    having to download on opening.
    have had no problem in dreamweaver with swfs with embedded
    jpgs.
    ui comes up in dreamweaver but not external files. even
    though when I open swf movie or the flash created html of same
    file, on its own, no prob.
    anyone run across this problem, jpgs are in same file as
    flash media, also dropped them into image file just in case that
    might work---no go
    any ideas ?

    your isse begins here ..
    loadSection()
    you use the same loader to not only load files but you are tyring to use it to target the movieClip you also want to play.
    The issue is loader.  The loader can only reference one load at a time.. otherwise you screw up your listeners and the ability to unload files properly.
    You should load all files in Your current system as its own variable so that while one loads you can still control a movie.
    So what type of end transitions do your files have?
    What exactly with this seems like youre getting an issue.. looking at it looks alright aside from the fact that some methods are not used at all by your class

  • Load external image & text into SWF

    Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to create a
    template that will load an external image file,.css styled text
    & a .css style sheet into a .swf by using .xml?
    Thank you for your time.
    CK

    You can use the MovieClipLoader class to load multiple images sequentially (one at a time), but you wouldn't use a 'for' type of loop...instead you would use a recursive loop, where a loading function is called after each load completion until all loading in done.  This is done by utilizing a load-complete listener to trigger loading of the next image.  So you start the loading process by loading one file, when that file is determined to be loaded, the listener proceses that file in whatever way you need to prepared (resizing, etc) and triggers the loading of the next file.
    If you look up the MovieClipLoader.addListener method in the Flash help documents there is an example there that uses the onLoadInit event.  You would be wanting to use the onLoadComplete event.

Maybe you are looking for
