Counting the files in an image folder

I have created a target_mc that loads images based on the
frame number of the timeline. loadMovie(imageFolder + imageType +
_currentFrame)
imageFolder and imageType are variables that are set on a
navigation menu item roll over. _currentframe pulls the current
frame number. Combined, they make up the name of the image.
The slideshow navigation buttons (forward and back) move the
playhead and the images are loaded based on the position of the
framehead. Frame 1 = image01.jpg etc.
What I want to do is create actionscript that reads a folder
containing the images and counts the number of files. Then I could
store that number in a variable and use some actionscripting to
load the images into the target_mc.
Any ideas? The problem I have is when a new image is added to
a slideshow movie clip I have to insert a frame or when a pictures
is removed I have to remove a frame from the timeline for that
clip.

No such thing, flash has no system accessibility and it can't
read folder content.
You need to do it with some middle ware like php or asp.

The problem is with your design. We normally don't hard code
and hard built
movies like that. Driven dynamically by XML is your best
choice. It gets the
info, makes the slide in real time based on input. All you
need to do than
is modify the xml file, not flash.
Anyhow, here is an example of flash reading folder content
using php.
(inside the zip file you will find asp sample as well)

  • Can I include the file names of images in the image itself?

    *How can I get the file names of images on each image (without entering them by hand)?*
    (I am bring 250 images into a Keynote document, with each image on its own slide. I want to have the file names of the images shown on each slide or image. This doesn't need to look nice.)
    (If I can't do this in Aperture, I also have Photoshop Elements. Is there a way to do that in Elements?)

    You can't do this directly via Ap3. There are plug in's i believe that make it possible. Maybe someone knows more? Allan

  • Is it possible to know the file name of images loaded?

    Hi:
    I have a folder containing some images named 01_image_name.jpg, 02_image_name.jpg, 03_image_name.jpg, ... wich names I read with a PHP script. Then I loop loading each image and waiting until all are loaded to display them
    1. The PHP script reads file names and returns a string with names separated by a "|" char, then I use the split method to store them in imagesNames array and sort it
    2. I loop trough imagesNames array loading images
    3. Anytime a new image arrives I push it in imagesContainer array and check if all images are loaded to show them
    The problem is there's no guarantee they arrive in the same order they were requested. So, how I sort the imagesContainer array by file name, i.e. in the same order they are in imagesNames array?
    Thanks in advance

    if you know when a new image arrives and you can retrieve that new image file name ...
    Well, that's precisely my doubt, how can I know the file name? Is there a property/method for it?
    function loadImages() {
    for (var i:int=0; i<imagesNames.length; i++) {
    var imgLoader:Loader=new Loader;
    imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
    imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(imgPath + imagesNames[i]));
    function imgLoaded(par:Event):void {
    trace(par.target,par.target.content,par.target.content.name);
    Output window:
    [object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance160

  • [web] is it possible to manipulate the file names of images from a web gallery?

    Hi,
    I am new here so please forgive my dumb questions....
    I would like the resulting images in my web gallery to have sequential filenames (ie 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc)
    Is this possible and could you give me some clues how I might approach this?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    You can't rename the actual files from Web as they export. There's nothing in the SDK on it either.
    Lightroom does change the naming to make it websage. For example, spaces are turned into underscores.
    If you need sequential files, I'd suggest getting the files in order, then exporting the files as highest quality Jpeg with a sequential naming system.
    Click the Add to Catalog checkbox, and perhaps use 'The same folder' and then use a subfolder for organistion.
    Use these new images to create the web gallery.

  • Can someone send me the files in /srv/tftp folder ?

    Hello,
    My company use ZDM, but use ghost for image solution.
    Now I am thinking of replace it to the ZDM image.
    I would need to test it first since the server may didn't install pxe component.
    Now I need the files in /srv/tftp on a ZDM linux server.
    Can someone zip this folder and upload it to me ?

    Our company use ghost for a long time.
    Now I am trying to persuade my IT boss to replace to the ZENworks one.
    So I can only test from my site.
    by adding ZEN pxe boot menu to existing pxe boot menu.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Accessing the files in OBIEE deployment folder. IIS vs OC4J

    Hi,
    I want to access the files like CSS in the OBIEE deployment folder.
    I know how to access the files in the deployment folder when the application is hosted on IIS.
    For Example:
    I have Hosted a .net application on IIS.
    The application deployment folder is sampleApplication. The URL will be something like - http://localhost/sampleApplication/samplePage.
    And if i have a CSS file under Styles folder in sampleApplication folder, the file can be accessed Like - http://localhost/sampleApplication/Styles/style.css.
    I want to do the same for OBIEE hosted on OC4J. I want to access the CSS files through the URL.
    Where will be the CSS files and How will they be accessed through the URL.
    Http://localhost:9704/..??
    Thanks in advance.

    I found that filenames are case sensitive on the iphone but not on the simulator so check that.

  • How do you add the files name to images within a PDF

    I have been searching the web trying to find an answer to this question, I am not sure what the proper term is called, but I refer to it as a 'coded pdf'. Hopefully someone knows what I am talking about and can help me find an answer!
    The end product is a coded PDF that has the file name of all the images lableled on top the image. For example, a product brochure that has 500 images, all of them would be 'coded' with their file name, to find easy in source files. - Is this an export option in InDesign, or an option somewhere in Acrobat?
    Thank you in advance for any help.
    -Melissa

    No, Melissa's asking for a filename that's searchable - text made of pixels is no use.
    Acrobat cannot apply the original image filenames after the PDF has been created as it can't read the information from anywhere. You have two options, both in InDesign:
    use smart captions to add the name of the file in a visible format beside each image.
    use accessibility tagging and place the image filename in the ALT TEXT field, then export the PDF with tags enabled (the filename will not be visible on the page but will show if you hover your mouse over the image).

  • Only showing a fraction of the files in a given folder

    When I open one of the folders under my Folder or Favorites tabs on the left, it only shows me a fraction of the files that are in there.
    And the ones it shows are scattered in off places, like 1/2 way down the page, several will be grouped together.
    It used to work fine.
    Have I set something wrong, or is the program faulty?
    Thanks.

  • Special character in XML causing the file to hit worng folder.

    I am facing program, while sending a data to a repository using SOAP XML. The file path which is needed has a special character and this is not getting identified at the target.
    here is the brief descriptio.
    1) We generate the PDF using the XML report in ERP.
    2) Using the same data, we generate SOAP XML file and send to a respoitory.
    3) Here using this SOAP XML, the PDF is generated and stored in a location which is sent in the file.
    we are sending the target path as "PO's from Customer" as below:
    '&lt;target_folder_path&gt;'||'/Documents/'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYY')||'/PO's from Customer'||'&lt;/target_folder_path&gt;';
    The path needed is '/Documents/2012/PO's from Customer' , but due the apostrophe, the file is hit /adadmin path.
    I have tried replcaing the special character by &apos; , but still no luck. If i remove the special characters, then the file is hitting correct path.
    But the requirement is to have '/Documents/2012/PO's from Customer' .
    Is there is a way this can be achived. Please advice.

    Is it as simple as using two single quotes between PO and s?
    '/PO''s from Customer'I can't tell from what you wrote how you are generating the value in the first place so if not correct provide more details related to whatever builds the path.

    Hi,
    The best method is to use curl.
    Other methods are not reliable, but can work, it depends on several factors (what the script does, what the user does).
    Here is an example with the curl command:
    set tUrl to "http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/files/2.0.4/macosx/vlc-2.0.4.dmg/download?ac cel_key=60%3A1350656196%3Ahttp%253A//www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html%3 A7233e4e9%245818d66f39b0576e1e9c4a0f3b46b1991180bfdd&click_id=976a88ee-19f7-11e2 -9a21-0200ac1d1d8e&source=accel"
    set dFolder to path to downloads folder
    tell application "Finder" to set newFolder to (make new folder at dFolder) as string
    set f to quoted form of POSIX path of newFolder
    do shell script "cd " & f & " && curl -L " & tUrl & " -o 'vlc.dmg'" -- download  to file "vlc.dmg"
