Can you load external jpg files

Is there a way to load external .jpg files on the fly or do
they have to reside in the swf file?

Hi Persons,
macrofireball is correct as always, but I'll just add a
thought to this thread because I suspect "rfull" isn't actually
asking what he/she
appears to be asking.
No photo can ever be displayed "by itself". That is, image
files are always "opened" in some sort of vehicle. It might be an
image editor, or it might be a document like a *.DOC or a *.HTM ...
but
something must "contain" the image.
So you can access a photo at any time you wish by putting it
on a web page, then linking to the web page (for instance). Is
something like that what you really had in mind?
Have a good 'un folks!

Can you load a JPeg file to photoshop??

The files are not stored in Photoshop Elements. They are on disk wherever you put them. The Organizer is like a library card catalog - an index, if you will.

Can you call external exe file from Flex Air Application like notepad.exe

Im trying to make my Air Application open an External exe file anyone know if this can be done?

Hi,
If you want to share code between a flex app and AIR, you
could isolate the common bits as a swc file and link to the swc
from both the flex and air project.
Also, you could have the flex mxml file and air mxml file
load the same module (which has the same stuff as your original
flex application) using ModuleLoader.
Or, you could even load the swf of your flex application
using SWFLoader in your air mxml file.
Basically, check out creating flex libraries, modules and
runtime loading of swfs.

[Q] duplicating movieclip with loaded external jpg file

Hi, Im trying to make thumbnail and enlarged picture by
duplication.
What i tried was using duplication of thumbnail movieclip
which jpg image is loaded
However it seems not working as i intended,so I had to make
empty movieclip and loaded image again!!!
I am concerning that if I use new movieclip and loading the
image again..it means users have to download the same image twice.
Basically, I am trying to make a list of thumbnailed images
with enlarged picture popes up when mouse rolls over them
Is there any proper way to make it happen?
or duplication just doesnt work even thou movieclip is
already loaded with image?
Thank you for your time~

No, that will not work
You are partly right - if you create a nested clip and assign
properties
(such as an onPress handler) to the parent clip, you can then
load content
into the child without overwriting the parent's properties.
If you load an
image into the child and then duplicate the parent however,
the image in the
child clip *will not be duplicated*. Try it.

Again, partly right. Lets take it bit by bit:
> yes the user will have to
> load it again, but it is already in the Browser Cache
The movie will have to load it again, but will probably load
it from cache.
> Bad side is more that you will doble
> the bandwidth of the images loading on your site.
Not so. If it's in the cache, it doesn't use any bandwidth at
all - that's
what caching means! A copy of the image is saved on the
user's local hard
drive, so no bandwidth needs to be used when loading from
cache.
Basically, for the *majority* of users, loaded images will be
cached (this
is dependent on browser settings, but most users will have
their browsers
set to cache). This means that after the first load,
subsequent loads of the
same image will be quick and carry no bandwidth overheads.
The real issue here is that dynamic content in movieClips,
such as loaded
images, swfs, or graphics created with the drawing API will
not duplicate
when the clip is duplicated/ The accepted work around used to
be simply to
reload the aimge. Now with Flash 8 though you can use the
BitmapData class
to grab a copy of the image and redraw it to the newly
created clip if you
so wish.

Vista problem with loading external JPGs?

I'm really pulling my hair out on this one. I did a quick
flash piece for a preschool's web site and have tried several
different Flash components inside of a larger FLA file that load
external JPG files in a predefined area. With each component, I
have received complaints (so far only from Vista users) that the
user sees nothing in the area where photos are supposed to be
loading. Instead they just see a white or black box.
Is there any known issue with this? They can see everything
else in the SWF file (the swinging girl and the text), but not any
of the loaded JPG photos. Can anyone else out there with Vista tell
me that they have the same problem? I'd like to track down what the
common denominator is.
I've asked two of the users to completely uninstall the Flash
player and reinstall it, but to no avail. Deactivating Norton
Antirvirus also didn't seem to do anything.
Here is the URL:

As Ned said the problem might be with the file structure on the server. Other problems may be with spelling. You computer may not be case sensitive to the names of the .swf files that you are loading, but your server might. So, on your computer when you are testing, second.swf is the same as Second.swf, or even second.SWF. But, on the server each of these variations is seen as a different file. Another problem is that when you are loading files from the same computer in testing, those files are close and so they load very quickly from your computer. When the files have to travel from the server, there will likely be a measurable period of time before the file is ready to be shown. This is particularly problematic with video that is embedded into an .swf. The whole file will need to be downloaded and uncompressed before it is available to play. If you stream the video as an external file, you can shorten the wait considerably.

[Q] Loading one external JPG file into different MCs & Downloading

Hi, I was wondering if I set few MCs to load the same
external JPG file, would users need to download thme few times?
Or only need to download once?
I am having trouble loading long 700*8000 jpg files due to
limited pixel size of 2300(?).
I was thking of making them into 2000 * 2000 square pictures
by cutting long picture into short sigments and putting them side
by side.
and using AS to make them appear as single long picture by
using 2 MCs with same image but at different x position of loaded
square Picture.
Anyone have better idea?
I am bit hesitated to make jpg to swf files cuz I have too
many pictures
Plz spare some time for me..
Thank you for your time~!!!!

thank you, kglad..
I was thking of making 700 * 8000 image into 2800*2800 image
this square picture works as four (700*2800) images.
So that i can use 2 set of same jpg MC with differnt Masking
to make them
appears as continuously long images
eg. 1st Mc will be showing _x: 0-700
at the bottom of the first MC, 2nd MC will be showing _x:
700-1400
and so on so on..
so..when user is scrolling down..these MCs will makeing
sqaure image
as long portrait image..
I dont beleve myself it is a good solution..
Probably most suitable way would be what you just suggested
me..
Its just that it will be quite a time consuming job to make
jpgs into swfs...
Thank you again for your kindness..:)

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

Loading external swf file in a new window

Hi,
I've got a few .swf files with video tutorials I've created using Captivate 4.
I wanted to link them so I've created a main screen with menu with buttons in Flash.
I've added AS to load the external swf files but they load in the same window. How can I load these .swf files in seperate window so that you could get back to the main window after you've finished watching?
Here's my code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
    myLoader.load(myURL);
    addChild(myLoader);
I'm also attaching screenshot with menu in flash

I've deleted the line and now the code lookes like that:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
    addChild(myLoader);
Unfortunately, it doesn't load the .swf file when you click on the button...

Trouble with loading external mp3 files

I apologize for the length of the post. I hope this is clear
of what I am trying to explain.
My problem deals with getting "undefined" when I press a
button to load an external mp3 files. The following is what my XML
childNode looks like:
<option phonetic="Soundless, or A" name="aleph"
cursive="alephCursive.swf" block="alephBlock.swf"
audio="char1.mp3"/>
Every attribute loads the way I've programmed them, except
for the last one "audio".
The following is what my actionscript looks like loading in
these attributes:
Everything is happening inside the onLoad event for my XML
file.
var xmlContent = this.firstChild.firstChild;
audioContent = new Array();
for (var i = 0;
i<this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
nextEntry = xmlContent.childNodes
audioContent = [nextEntry.attributes.phonetic,
nextEntry.attributes.name, nextEntry.attributes.cursive,
extEntry.attributes.block, nextEntry.attributes.audio];
The code above simply adds each attribute to the audioContent
array. Each element traces out correctly.
The following code is how I am using these attributes:
for (var i = 0; i<audioLength; i++) {
audioContainer.attachMovie("container4", "audioItem"+i, i);
// Create a shortcut reference to the present movie clip
thisClip = audioContainer["audioItem"+i];
thisClip.myTxt1.htmlText = audioContent[0];
thisClip.myTxt2.htmlText = audioContent
[1];
thisClip.cursive_mc =
loadThis(assetPath+audioContent[2], thisClip.cursive_mc);
thisClip.block_mc = loadThis(assetPath+audioContent
[3], thisClip.block_mc);
thisClip.speaker_mc.attachMovie("speaker", "speaker_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.nextFrame();
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this.prevFrame();
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRelease = function() {
mySnd.loadSound(audioPath+audioContent[4],true);
Loading the text works inside the htmlText. Using a function
loadThis to load external swf files works corerctly and even
attaching a linked movieclip from my library called "speaker" works
correctly.
The problem comes from pressing the speaker movieclip that
the output traces "undefined" instead of the external mp3 file.
I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Can we join external Excel file with data to an existing report in BIP

Hi,
I have created a report in BIP and the output being previewed is in Excel.
ex : i'm trying to get emp_id , emp_name, emp_Address from a datasource called "EMPLOYEE_DEV".
Now i have an external excel file (which has data) containg emp_job_title, emp_id, emp_salary...............this data comes from a different datasource called DETAIL_DATABASE.......
My question - is it possible to join an external excel file (from different datasource - DETAIL_DATABASE) to an existing report in BIP(another datsource - EMPLOYEE_DEV ).
Coz at the end i have to show emp_id, emp_name, emp_Address, emp_job_title, emp_salary........by using emp_id as a join between these two.
Please help me with this.
Thanks.

Can you load the data from the excel file into a table that you can query against? If so, you can have two data models: one for the employee_dev and one for detail_database source and then use Concatenated SQL Data Source or you can have a single query with the data you need from both tables.
BI publisher allows you to use a file as a datasource, however I believe it has to be an XML file. You should be able to save the Excel file as XML; however if you want to concatenate the data with another data model with a sql query, the data generated has extra tags and I am not sure if you will be able to use it to create a template.
Hopefully others can chime in and provide any suggestions or experiences they have had in dealing with such situations.

Load external jpg

I cannot load external jpg, they're not progresive.... the
jpg files are inside a folder, and I write the next code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 100);
mc.loadMovie("flash/photo1.jpg");
but it doesn't work...
Thanks

use trace(mc) to confirm "this" refers to a movieclip, make
sure there's nothing at a greater depth preventing you from seeing
your image, double check your spelling of flash/photo1.jpg (and
case counts) and make sure your html file is in a super folder of
the flash folder, if you're testing in a browser.

How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor

How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor at one time. I receive the error message, "Unable to Import Files", which says "You exceeded number of files that can be selecteed and imported at once...." What is the number? Secondly is there a way around this for either the Organizer or Editor to work on thousands of photos at the same time?
Thanks

I have never heard of this particular limit before.
Please understand, this appears to be the limit you can import into the Organizer at one time -- you can have as many photos as you want in the Organizer; but apparently you have to import in batches rather than all at once.
I don't think it applies to the editor; and I can't imagine wanting to have more then a few files in the editor at any one time ... even if you could open 2000 photos in the editor at once, what sense would that make?

Using Flashvars to load external mp3 files

I am trying to find a very good step by step tutorial on using "Flashvars" to load external mp3 files, I have been searching on google and the many I have found fall short in some way or another. From what I have been able to gather, I have tried using the code in red (commented out), which works, and modify it to use "Flashvars". The code that works, the mp3 file is hard coded, but my goal is to use "Flashvars" which I am attempting to do in the code following the code in red. I am also including the html code. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Ok waterlovinguy,
I went back to my original code, and I got things to work... I think my whole issue was with the HTML CODE. So I decided to use the "SWFObject generator". I had never used it before, frankly I had never heard of it until I started my searches on "Flashvars".

Loading external .swf files issue...

Hi,
I'm working on a simple example of loading external swf files with some ActionScript.
I've placed an instance of List Component and gave it an instance name of loadList. Using Component Inspector, I assigned data for 4 external files as below:
Next, I've added a UILoader component (instance name - loadWindow). The code that is supposed to load the content into UILoader is this:
loadList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, selectItem);
function selectItem(e:Event):void
loadWindow.source = e.target.selectedItem.data;
When I run it in a FlashPlayer, it only loads the first 2 swf files.... (I checked the files and all files are fine).
I hope to get some light on the issue so any help will be appreciated.

Try tracing e.target.selectedItem.data to make sure it's what you expect.
Also, have you tried using the load() method instead of the source property?
