Image Load bug

Hello,
I'm using OSMF 1.0 as a basis for a player. When I run this player in Safari or Chrome and try to load an Image, I always get the following error:
ArgumentError: Invalid parameter passed to method
     at org.osmf.traits::LoadTrait/setBytesLoaded()
     at org.osmf.elements.loaderClasses::LoaderLoadTrait/loadStateChangeStart()
     at org.osmf.traits::LoadTrait/setLoadState()
     at org.osmf.traits::LoadTrait/onLoadStateChange()
     at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
     at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
     at org.osmf.traits::LoaderBase/updateLoadTrait()
     at MethodInfo-4147()
After debugging with Chrome browser, I found that this error is thrown is the setBytesLoaded function, because the bytesTotal is registered as 0 but the byteLoaded return correctly. I cannot reproduce this error in FireFox, as it works as expected there.
The way I construct an Image element and load it:
var imageElement : ImageElement = new ImageElement(new URLResource(vo.entry.downloadUrl+"/.a.jpg"), new ImageLoader());
player.media = imageElement;
I wanted to ask whether I can assume this is an OSMF bug? I cannot reproduce it on my other browsers (IE, FireFox). Please let me know.

Does it appear in OSMF 1.5?

Adobe Edge Animate CC image loading bug

hello,
The animation which i created in Adobe Edge Animate which is published for web, and when i load the main file in browser noticed that the images which i used inside the Edge Animate for animations are loading two times one with "edge.3.0.0.min.js:240" and "jquery-2.0.3.min.js:5", i hope this is a bug. how can i a avoided this multiple loading of same image files.

Hi, canpark-
We do not have a Korean localized version of Edge Animate, sorry!

When images appear for a search in safari, you must continually scroll by finger to keep the images loading. Is this a bug?

When images appear for a search in safari, you must continually scroll by finger to keep the images loading. Is this a bug?

Tried that but no change. Details - open up safari and go to yahoo - for the main search at the top, I put in Bears. It shows pages of thumbnail pics. tapping once on a thumbnail gets you that image and then tap again to get added info. At that point, it fills the screen. But in order to see more info I have to drag a finger upward to reveal more of the details. I then have to continually do that in order to reveal more details for the searched item. It then pops up to the top each time and repeating that process many times in order to see more of the image data. Don't know how to fix this.
Thanks

Problems with image loader 'swissarmy.js' in 7.0.1

My Javascript image loader 'swissarmy.js' at www.sustainableaggregates.com loads images right justified in 7.0.1, in older versions of Firefox or all other current browsers it's OK.
Is this a bug in Firefox 7.0.1 rendering engine or is it down to a bad piece of Javascript. Swissarmy.js is used a lot in many websites.
Will a future imminent FF upgrade cure this or do I need to source a new image loader script?

Image Scaling Bug?

I've been working with flex for a few weeks now, and I've
come across this odd behavior in the Image class. The livedocs
state that the default value for the scaleContent property of an
Image object is 'true'. This is the case, and when setting the
width or height of my image it scales correctly. The problem is
that the container that holds the object only scales with the
explicitly set value and leaves the other as its original size.
The following code is a small testcase to show the behavior
in action.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:Style>
.test {
cornerRadius: 0;
headerHeight: 0;
borderThickness: 1;
dropShadowEnabled: false;
borderStyle: solid;
backgroundColor: #333333;
borderColor: #ff0000;
titleStyleName: "myTitleStyle";
</mx:Style>
<mx:Box styleName="test">
<mx:Image source="glassdoor.jpg" height="32"/>
</mx:Box>
</mx:Application>
You'll have to replace the image name with one that you
provide, and set the height to something smaller that the image's
height to see the effect. The box's red border shows that it
realizes the image is 32 pixels in height, but doesn't seem to know
what to do with the implicitly scaled width. Any ideas? Am I doing
something wrong, or is this a bug? Since the box normally conforms
to the size of the object inside it, I would have expected it to
shrink on both parameters to continue hugging the outside of my
newly-scaled image.

The problem is that when the Box asks the Image for its size
it can only report the explicity set height. When the Image tag
loads its source it scales it to make the size you set (32 high)
but doesn't change its width - it is the Image and not the Box that
is causing what you see. The Image won't shrink to fit the image
loaded. Try adding horizontalAlign="center" to the Image and see if
the loaded source floats in the middle.
Using horizontalAlign and verticalAlign on the Image tag
aligns the actual image within the Image tag space. For example, if
you have <mx:Image width="100" height="100"
horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" /> and you load
in a 300x600 image, the image will be scaled to 50x100 and be
centered within the 100x100 area of the Image tag.
In general, if you cannot give an explicit size, give a
minWidth or minHeight, so the measurement phase of the Flex
component layout cycle has something to work with.

Hypertext link from image loaded via xml

I thought this would be easy but for some reason it's not
working.
What I want to accomplish:
Make an image loaded into my textArea via XML a link. I
thought I could do something like this:
<a href='
http://www.mysite.com"><img
src="myImage.jpg"/></a>
Simple enough you'd think but the image appears but with no
hypertext link capabilities. :(
Any thoughts? Wisdom?
Thanks.

Hi Marghoob,
Thanks for your reply. Turns out it is a bug with the Flash 7
player. The code works fine in the Flash 8 and 9 player. I guess
this was a reminder that I should look for the simple things first.

ImageIcon & Lazy image loading

The whole day I'm fuzzing around with loading an ImageIcon lazily. I suppose you know what lazy means. I want to load my icons when they have to be painted on the screen, because I use thousands of them. I read the "How to Use Icons" tutorial (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/icon.html). With its ArrowIcon implementation of Icon (http://www.iam.ubc.ca/guides/javatut99/uiswing/misc/example-swing/ArrowIcon.java) and its IconDemoApplet (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/example-1dot4/IconDemoApplet.java). However, I'm still confused. I also took a look at the ImageIconProxy example of the proxy pattern (http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-02-2002/jw-0222-designpatterns.html). Finally I got the following code (the IconProperties part can be ignored). I'm afraid that this does not what I want. I have now only a few images, so I can't measure it directly. Does my class exactly the same as the ImageIcon class itself? Is there no postponing of instantiation because I subclass ImageIcon? Do I have to implement the interface Icon instead? Do I have to copy all the stuff in ImageIcon to my implementation in that case? Or is it better to extend the Image class to provide functions like described beneath (check upon existence).
And for completeness. I extend this LazyIcon object subsequently with a class named LayeredIcon to create combined icons.
* The class <code>LazyIcon</code> implements <code>ImageIcon</code>
* because their will be at least some calls like:
* <pre>
*   Icon icon = new ImageIcon(imageURL);
*     Image image = icon.getImage();
*     image = image.getScaledInstance(...);
*   Icon icon2 = new ImageIcon(image);
* </pre>
* Besides that I want to add a function <code>IconExists</code> and
* to add lazy image loading, and maybe also background loading.
* This doesn't work, so it seems like in the constructor of
* ImageIcon there is done more than only setImage(image).
* @author A.C. van Rossum
public class LazyIcon extends ImageIcon {
boolean isIconCreated = false;
protected Image image;
protected IconProperties properties;
   * The <code>LazyIcon</code> stores the <code>Image</code> until
   * the moment it has to be created. It has default icon properties.
public LazyIcon(Image image) {
    this(image, IconProperties.DEFAULTICON);
public LazyIcon(Image image, IconProperties properties) {
    this.image = image;
    setIconProperties(properties);
//other constructors have to follow
   * The method <code>setIconProperties</code> enables the user
   * to change the properties of an icon, before calling the
   * method <code>paintIcon</code>.
   * @param properties A set of properties: dimension, etc.
public void setIconProperties(IconProperties properties) {
    this.properties = properties;
public int getIconHeight() {
    return isIconCreated ? super.getIconHeight() : properties.getHeight();
public int getIconWidth() {
     return isIconCreated ? super.getIconWidth() : properties.getWidth();
   * The method <code>paintIcon</code> does only set the image of
   * the ImageIcon class lazily (when this function is called.)
public void paintIcon(final Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
    if(!isIconCreated) {
      setImage(image);
      isIconCreated = true;
    super.paintIcon(c, g, x, y);
public Image getImage() {
    if (isIconCreated)
      return super.getImage();
    else return image;
}Is my problem formulation clear enough? Many thanks in advance if you want to give it a look.
Andy

I spent some more time looking at the programs today, and it seems that all of the students involved were using a graphics library called objectdraw (http://cortland.cs.williams.edu:16080/~cs134/eof/). As far as I can tell, the objectdraw source code isn't public, so I can't say which (if any) of the standard methods they were using.
After some work, I managed to produce a method with the same parameters as the objectdraw getImage method that used the AWT Toolkit. When I overrode the objectdraw version in the students' code, the bug (at least for the moment) seems to have gone away. So the problem may be in that other library.
Does anyone else have experience with objectdraw? Is this a known bug, or could this be something else...?

Safari image loading two times ?

Hi,
I have a website that loads the contents for an ul tag throug an jquery ajax call every 10 seconds. In this chunk, I have an img tag.
I see the image loading, then at the next load the image blinks one time, after that the image is ok, until I select another image. After selecting another image, it shows correctly, and upon next load it blinks one time.
When I look in the Web Inspector - Resources, I see the ajax call being made followed by loading the image. The next time I see the ajax call again followed by loading the image again. From here on, I only see the ajax call every 10 seconds, and no image reloading.
Can someone explain to me why the image is loaded twice ? Why is it not loaded and cached in one time ?
I see this on iPod Touch, iPad, Safari Desktop.
If this is a bug, does anyone know a work around to prevent the image to blink one time ?

I have created a testcase
http://www.maakmenietgek.com/test6
Best is to open safari, open the webinspector in the resrouces, and then browse to this page.
I should load with a red square, after 3 seconds it should load a green square, and 3 seconds after that you will see the blink. In webinspector you can see that the green image is reloaded.

How can I stop Apple Mail from scrolling to top as image loads?

Hi, I receive a daily email that includes dozens of inline images (it's the TechCrunch daily email, FYI). When I open it in Apple Mail, every time an image loads, the scroll bar jumps back to the top of the email. This effectively makes it impossible to read any of the email until after all the images load, since as I start to read it from the top, a moment later (as the next image down further in the email loads), it jumps me right back to the very top of the email. The only way I can read the email is to open it in Apple Mail and then sit there for a moment until all the images load. (I can't even switch to another window or put that email window in the background-- Apple Mail apparently is smart enough to not load images when the window isn't front-and-center.)
Needless to say, this is a super-annoying issue I haven't ever seen this in any other email program and I think it definitely counts as a bug (or at the very least, a supreme, supreme annoyance).
Anyone else seeing this, and/or have a solution?
Thanks--
Eric

This is happening to me too, and I have had enough of it! I never got around to complaining about it, and I suspect many others are the same way. However, I think it is fair to call it a 'bug' and that apple should make a statement or fix about it

How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

Sup buddies,
How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .

hello, kiwi
quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
yes.
maybe,...
1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
or,
2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

Any Way I Can Make My Page's Images Load One At a Time?

Hi folks,
I have a page with a stack of large images. It takes several seconds for them all to load, but I was wondering if there's any way I could dictate the order in which all of these images load? This way, the top image would load first, then the the next one down, and so on, leaving little perceivable page load time for visitors.
It seems like this would be a common necessity for a web page, does anyone know an easy (because I know very little about this) way to do this?
Thanks!

One major problem, is that you have scaled the images in DW, and not in a graphics program. I have your page open in the background and it's been a while loading and it's still not finished :-)
eg: the following images has properties of:
http://www.selfeffacingtheories.com/web-content/pictures/picpics/holes.jpg
933px × 699px but you have scaled it to: 615px × 458px
Trying to put your page through the Web Optimiser - doesn't show a very good result - it couldn't be tested because it exceed the size requirement.
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
The size of this web page (4264698 bytes) has exceeded the maximum size of 3000000 bytes.
This is just way too big a file size and seriously needs to be optimised. The only way to do this is to scale down the images in either Photoshop or Fireworks.
Why not use a lightbox effect, where you show a much smaller size of the image and then when someone clicks on it they see a much larger version of the image:
My small demo here: (using the Dreamweaver Lightbox Extension)

XML scrolling thumbnail, image loader, & Buttons [halfway works]

Intro:
I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.
For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.
I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline:
Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.
Issue #1
As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...
1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.
[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.
Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.
[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"]
[also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
Issue #2
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.
However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]
With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:
Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.
Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.
I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science. [yes, for many its not...but my brain just does not operate that route despite all the tutorials thrown at me.]
Again, it would seem that there would be a button panel where you could drag options like scrolling thumbnail slider, loader, and then parameters would come up. [much like Apples iWeb. - but before the argument of one being pro and the other for non-pros, I see it differently. Software should not be the limiting factor in how flexible you can design, or rather ones lack of programming shouldnt be. With all the talented, and I say this in all humility and honesty, programmers working for Adobe, Im sure something could be programmed like what Im asking for.]
note: Director is a good example, back in 1997 I knew nothing of multimedia and in one week I had assembled a portfolio, clicking buttons, speech, movies, and all. - and no, I dont have the money to buy more software!
At this moment I am at the mercy of someone who reads code like its a nighttime tale they are telling their kids, and who can see the exact issue I have and can share the appropriate, correct code. [as I have noticed, it has to be on target - naturally - but this target changes with just a slight change in the design.]
Thank you,
peace
Dalen
p.s.
The actionscript: [note: This is only the current working/good code that Im trying to get the buttons to call up.]

The issues with the buttons calling up the scrolling thumbnail panel have been resolved, as well as keeping the buttons in their hit state once clicked, thanks to Rob.
Those that have been following this thread, or stumble upon it in their searches later, may appreciate to see the final solution to this particular issue.
[Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with a url in the future to show the site in operation, which may help somebody with their project in the future if its set up similarly.]
Alas, it would be nice if future versions of flash had a more direct, flexible, user friendly method for creating navigation.
[We may see development beyond the flash ads which everyone seems to loathe... and more creativity with flash in terms of games, web interactivity, & animation.
Below are 2 sets of code:
a] the first is located within the first frame of the first button, and has some extra variables in it that the additional buttons call upon...
b] the second is the code applied to every other button.

     holder.loadMovie(fullURL[0]);//Initially load first full size image into holder clip
// this one function scrolls the panel for all of the buttons, it gets the
// size of the panel when the images are loaded by any given button...
stroke.onEnterFrame = function() {
     if (this.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, false)) {
          if (panel._x>=740) {
               panel._x = 740;
          if (panel._x<=740-panel._width+mask._width) {
               panel._x = 740-panel._width+mask._width;
          if ((panel._x<=740) && (panel._x>=740-panel._width+mask._width)) {
               var xdist = _xmouse-830;
               panel._x += -xdist/7;
Of note is the change to how the movie clips are measured... this change in and of itself has really helped to make the thumbnail panels operation more efficient.
Below is the script for each additional button: [Having issues with the forums not letting me post additional code, so I will put the remaining code in a reply below.]

Issue with Image Loader in 14.0

Hi All,
In our application, we have a custom function module in ECC, which is passing the URL of an image uploaded on the content management server(KPRO). Custom FM calls 'SDOK_PHIO_GET_URL_FOR_GET' to get the URL of the image.
When we execute the FM in ECC, we get the URL as:
http://gbswidkprodb01.global.rexam.net:81/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?get&pVersion=0046&contRep=YA&docId=001F296E9EB61ED3B6F490000438C20C&compId=TJ12A.jpg&accessMode=r&authId=CN%3DBC3,OU%3DI0520020335,OU%3DSAPWebAS,O%3DSAPTrustCommunity,C%3DDE&expirat
when I use this URL in the browser the image gets loaded in browser.
When I capture the output of JCO call in write file URL returned from FM is:
http://<server>:81/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?get&pVersion=0046&contRep=YA&docId=001F296E9EB61ED3B6F490000438C20C&compId=TJ12A.jpg&accessMode=r&authId=CN%3DBC3,OU%3DI0520020335,OU%3DSAPWebAS,O%3DSAPTrustCommunity,C%3DDE&expiration=20140617181313&secKey=MIIBUgYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIBQzCCAT8CAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHATGCAR4wggEaAgEBMG8wZDELMAkGA1UEBhMCREUxHDAaBgNVBAoTE1NBUCBUcnVzdCBDb21tdW5pdHkxEzARBgNVBAsTClNBUCBXZWIgQVMxFDASBgNVBAsTC0kwNTIwMDIwMzM1MQwwCgYDVQQDEwNCQzMCByASCCcTUiEwCQYFKw4DAhoFAKBdMBgGCSqGSIb3DQEJAzELBgkqhkiG9w0BBwEwHAYJKoZIhvcNAQkFMQ8XDTE0MDYxNzE2MTMxM1owIwYJKoZIhvcNAQkEMRYEFM%2FKd4MzWL0y1KfF58AHNg9PYqOlMAkGByqGSM44BAMELzAtAhUAtqASnXbD3E2ZM8EhG%2FLxgJhKCs0CFH0qFlBxzWlzS8kjeFw3kad63SHW
when I use this URL in the browser I get 'HTTP 400' error.
Using either of the two URL's in the image loader I get the error:
[WARN] [ImageLoader_0]ImageLoader_0 Status: 400 - (bad request)
We are currently on SAP MII 14.0 SP05(patch 3).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Darshan

Sam,
I tried logging in to ECC with the same user as the one that is making the Jco connection and it is giving the same URL which i was getting earlier when i was executing the FM with my user id. I am testing the FM through SE37.
There is no logic in the custom BAPI to replace the <server> keyword. Based on the image name, it gives the URL of where the image is stored on the KPRO server.
Could not find URL Decode function in the MII link editor, i believe it is the decode function which you are referring to. Even that is not working. If it is something other than this, do let me know.
PS: This works fine in the 11.5 system from which we have upgraded to 14.0.

Images load really slow after using Reduce File Size...

After using the "Reduce File Size..." feature in Acrobat 9 on Windows Vista, some of the images load really slow as I page through the document. Is there some kind of compression setting that I should look for to prevent the images from be affected by this?
For some of my documents it will take 30 to 60 seconds to load an image. Sometimes I can't do anything with the document until the graphic loads entirely.

Can you post an example of a file that has this issue? Personally, I recommend using the PDF optimizer, it gives better control of the final pdf file.
