Importing image to stage

Hi folks,
I am importing a .jpg to stage that I want to fit to stage.
The Stage is set to 800X600 which is the same size as my pic. But
when I import it the box does not come up that will allow me to
check the box "Fit to Stage".
I have looked around under the menu but cannot find a Fit to
Stage button.
Any suggestion?
TIA and Happy Holidays

if you want to resize the bitmap, check the properties panel.
you may need to use the property panel scrollbar if you're using
flash cs4.

Flash cs5 keeps crashing when importing images.

Flash cs5 keeps crashing when importing images onto stage. I plan on tracing a drawing I made. They aren't that big so I don't know why cs5 crashes. Any ideas how to fix that? Thanks

I got the same problem. I tried to import into Flash cs3, cs4, cs5 - constant error in each application.
But seems I've found the reason why this happened in my case.
I just deleted the installed system video codecs (divx, xvid, third-party codecs).
I do not see a direct connection with the import objects into flash. But fact, immediately after the removal of codecs it has to work.
I suspect that the reason could be a third-party codec that is associated with playing QuickTime. Maybe.
Also if it does not help you this way, I used a temporary solution.
Open the psd in Adobe Ilustrator, copy images to clipboard, paste it into flash.
In my case the images are not displayed on the screen after insert, but put into the library.
Don't touch objects, just save the file, close the Flash.
Launch Flash and open saved file. In my case in the first run was an error.
Close the application and open it with file again.
The second time the error was not followed, the images were within the document 8-)
This option made it possible to work until the issue is not solved completely (adobe, wake up!).
win7 64, cs5 (cs3, cs4 had the same issue)
Perhaps it can be useful for someone.
thx
Sorry for my English.

HELP! flash stops working when I want to import a sequence of images to stage

Please! I need help asap! I downloaded Flash CS5 and I am using it as a trial and every time I want to import a sequence of images to stage the program stops working and closes without saving. I need to do this projecto for the day after tomorrow and Flash is just not working right. This project is a stop motion animation.
I will deeply appreciate any help, since I just don't know what else to do!
Laura.

I cannot individually cause it's a stop motion animation...like 200 pictures (this part, the whole of it is like 1000), it would take me a lot of time. I tried doing it in parts, but when I get to frame number 100 more or less the program just shuts down...I really really don't know what else to try.

How we can import image into flash stage through AC3 code

I want to import images form my directory . I do not know the process of importing image through action script3. What is the process to importing image . Do any body know the idea.

Have a look at the Loader class. There are examples in the documentation.

Buttons/Images/Importing Images

Any suggestions as to how I can use an image as a button? I have successfully imported my image, got it displaying fine but PL/SQL is unavailable for it. Why can't I do a 'When-Image-Pressed' on an imported image. I also tried using the image item but do not know how to set the source. Don't want to use an iconic button if I can help it.
Ben

Here's a bit of code that loads a png with transparency, smooths it, and places it on stage.
var a:Loader = new Loader();
a.load(new URLRequest("spider.png"));
a.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
function done(e:Event){
    var bit:Bitmap = e.target.content;
    if(bit != null){
        bit.smoothing = true;
    addChild(bit);

Importing images into Flash

I am importing images into Flash only to discover that the images (1280 x 720) are not centered on the stage. Most of the time the images are off centre by a few pixel widths or in some cases by an inch or more. I can't get them to centre unless I clear the stage and import a few times.
Is there a way to import and have the images framed perfectly within the stage.
I'm currently using Flash CS5.5
Thank you.

You can also click the two blue boxes icon under the Timeline and then drag select the whole timeline and that will let you select all your frames at once. then just position them all where you want them at the same time. I attached a screen cap of the area I'm talking about. It's right after the two white boxes.

Importing Images in Flash CS 5?

Hello ! I want to make a slidshow presentation for my project, and i am using Adobe Flash Pro CS5 for this purpose. I am new to Flash Pro CS5 and I have been referring to Lynda.com Flash Professional CS5 Essential Training: from all those videos i found to my interest was Creating a Slideshow Project. So on one of the video it shows how to create a guide lines and import images and editing them one by one. Please download the video, but i am having trouble understanding it.
My question is :
1)Which template is he using , is it Animation, Presentation, Action Script 3.0 or Flash Lite 4
2)Import Images and Distribute to Layers. (*Video starting from 1:22, how did he do it, i tried Distributing to Layers after selecting 14 images and i end up with error. "Could not complete operation because of unknown error.)
Could someone enlighten me, how its done. I am getting late for my project. Here is the link.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/bijp02x7v28g6xo/2202_Importing_photos_into_Flash.rar

Hello Desktopuser
the stage he is using appears to be a normal stage with no transitions that I can see. You have the option when starting a new project to use a "Simple" or "Advanced" template that have built in AS 3.0 controls to control the way the movie performs. Both of these have built in instructions on how to use them with the images basically going into a pre determined MC (movie Clip). You would place your images into this MC and put each image into its appropriate frame.
as for importing the images, not sure why your getting that particular could not complete message but my guess is that the images you are using may not be optimized for useage for Flash. meaning you may need to save them in a jpg, gif, png, etc.. format from photoshop and then import them into Flash. Make sure the files aren't huge in size as well. Not sure how many images your bringing in either so you may want to take care if your bringing in more then say 20 at one time.
hope it helps some

How to apply alpah to BitmapFill when drawing image to stage??

I'm just starting with AS3 from AS2, but understand basics of code, so bear with me.
I got this code from www.kirupa.com; it writes an image to stage as a way of tile it.
holidaytile is an instance of a Gif Image.
But I want to change the Alpha so that my top layer shows through it, and I can't seem
to figure out how to do that.
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("holidaytile");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width,0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
Thanks if you can help, I'll keep looking
Howard

Well I created the Class using the import.flash.display.BitmapData
then created a var: tile to hold the instance with var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("holidaytile");
Then this.beginBitmapFill(tile); I believe loads the Bitmap with the instance
And the following code writes it all to stage
this.lineTo(Stage.width,0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
But where would I put the alpha control?? I've tried in a few places e.g
BitmapFill.alpah = 0.5; But there is no change.

Proportional Scaling external Image to stage

Sounds confusing I know but basically I want to place some images on the stage and I want every image, whether big or small, portrait or landscape, to be scaled to about a quarter of the stage size.
I have tried coding this myself and even tried many suggestions found on the web, but they all seem to do the same thing. The code either sizes every image to be equal in width and varying height, or scale every image to be equal in height with varying width.
Say you have some images all the same size, but some in landscape orientation and some in portrait orientation. Most of the code I found for "proportional scaling" would scale the landscape images okay, but make the portrait images the same height as the others, so they looked alot smaller. Or the reverse was true.
example:
image.width = stage.stageWidth;
image.height = stage.stageHeight;
( image.scaleX < image.scaleY ) ? image.scaleY = image.scaleX : image.scaleX = image.scaleY;
This makes all the images fit on the stage all right, but they all have the same width. reversing the equality amkes all teh heights the same.
If two images did not have the same width before they are scaled down, they should not have the smae width afterwards in my opinion.
Sometimes I get some code that seems to work, then I change the stage size to check it and all the images did not scale to 1/4 of the stage new size when the FLA was run.
I bet this is simple, but I have been working on it too long, y mind is in a knot!

Color inconsistency importing images into flash cs6 - cs4

After much experimenting I can't seem to solve this issue - imported images get tinted in an undesirable/inconsistent way when imported and published within flash.
images look consistent traveling between photoshop / image preview / illustrator / etc.
they also look fine on co-workers versions of flash -
the image in cs6 ( see the inconsistency between the library and the stage ) ...https://www.dropbox.com/s/ssjhvrjad9udc27/Screen%20Shot%202014-05-06%20at%205.18.13%20PM.p ng
and how it should appear ( flash cc ) ...https://www.dropbox.com/s/8s1zt7d0mhzt5d0/Screen%20Shot%202014-05-06%20at%205.19.32%20PM.p ng
I need to use cs6 or earlier since I am working in as2 ... this is driving me crazy and not sure what to do to solve this -
... oh, and my cc bridge color settings are set to North american/web though I don't believe it should affect cs6 and below https://www.dropbox.com/s/vem8dey694wkwon/Screen%20Shot%202014-05-06%20at%205.38.56%20PM.p ng
thanks in advance for any suggestions -

this is an interesting article - I learned a bit more about how browsers + flash handles color ... however it didn't directly apply to my issue
thanks -M

Import images alignment

Is there anyway to align imported images automatically to the top left of the stage?
I'm using File, Import, Import to Stage which works great for importing multiple images from a folder BUT if I have resized the stage at all (to fit the image size) they align with their top left corner in the centre of the stage.
Not such a problem with a few images but it's a real pain if you are importing hundreds. I'm using CS4.
Many thanks
Peter

If you are importing them to separate frames as a sequence, then I don't think you have any other options. You could always import them into a movieclip instead of the main timeline and then see if positioning that works out as you intend. It may not align them to align to the registration mark as you intend, but they may all align to the same upper left corner location.

HELP: How do I use iPhoto 08 to import images onto my iPhone 3G?

Hi,
I was wondering how best to import images into my iPhone 3G for viewing.
Most of my image files are large high quality 2 -4 MB files.
Is there an easy way to downsize the files for viewing on the iPhone 3G? Does iPhoto have a setting specific for import/export use with the iPhone?
How do I set a specific photo as the phone's wallpaper and does it have to be specifically sized to use as wallpaper?
I have read the iPhone 3G manual but it was less than helpful just saying "Use iPhoto to import photos onto your iPhone"...

here is a thread with lots of discussion of this topic - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1618079&tstart=105
In general you make album(s) of the photos you want on the iPhone and sync the album(s)

Unable to add/import images from other sources

Hi,
I'm using iPhoto 5.0.4, and I'm trying to import images that were captured on another Mac using iPhoto 2 and then burned to CD so that I could take them home. When I go to "Add to Library", it tells me that iPhoto could not import the files because they may not contain valid data or it may be an unrecognized file type. The file type is the same. Whether it's valid data or not is impossible for me to interpret since the pics open up in any image editing program just fine.
Any suggestions or work arounds?
Sophie

Hi Sophie,
Where are the images that you are trying to add to the library?
did you put them in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder manually?
If you did, drag them to the desktop, then add them to the library.

I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.
