Link to external image
I am a little new to Director and wondering if somebody could
help me out
here....
I have a placeholder image in my project (which will be
running as
Shockwave) and depending on variable criteria, it will be
loading a
replacement image from someplace on the Internet. I do not
need to worry
about size of the image as I have control over that and
everything is
consistent.
How do I replace my placeholder image with lingo and point to
the internet
location? Can the name remain the same as my original
placeholder image so
I can re-use the code over and over again?
Thanks guys... it looks like you provide great help here.
Try:
tPlaceholderMember.filename = "URL_of_bitmap"
Or:
-- preload bitmap with preloadNetThing("URL)
-- poll for completion or error from timeout or frame event
-- if no error then
tPlaceholderMember.filename = "URL_of_bitmap"
-- end if

Linking external images in Actionscript2
I have basic knowledge of Flash and do not know how to link an external image to my Flash document. While flipping through a Flash resource book, my thought is that it's through Actionscript, possibly using URLLoader/URLRequest classes. But I don't understand how to do it. Any help with that? Also, do I use a transparent button as the placeholder for the image/actionscript?
Thanks for your help, Webqaflash. But I'm still not there yet. Here's a better explanation of what I'm trying to accomplish. I want an external image to come in and animate right away. So I'm thinking now that a button placeholder is not correct because the animation is not dependent upon mouse actions. I want it to play right away. Do I make the placeholder a movie clip or a graphic? I tried both and inserted actionscript: loadMovieNum("website1.jpg", 0); This loads the image in a separate window.

Flickr's Terms of Service state that if you post an image hosted on Flickr on another site you have to link back to the image page on Flickr. To do that you need to go to your image on Flickr, click on the All Sizes link above the image, select the size image you want, then Copy the HTML code from the first box of code underneath the image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This will open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Flickr site. Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.
For Pixentral images, you will need to go to http://www.pixentral.com and upload your image following the instructions there. You do NOT have to check the box to make images public. Once your image is uploaded there copy the HTML code from the box below your image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This wil open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Pixentral site. Please note that there is an extra "/" character in the Pixentral URL that will prevent the image from showing up, so you need to make one change to the HTML that you copied from the Pixentral site. The beginning of the HTML code will look something like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd"/>
Please remove the slash that appears between the quotes and the greater than symbol so that this part of the HTML code looks like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd">
Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.@ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly! -
How to make a link to an image in flash?
Hi,
I´m new in Flash CS3 and I´m trying to get some
answers to my problem.. The question is
that how do I create a link to an image in flash??
I know how to make a link to a text field but I really
don´t know how this could get working properly.. :/Link to an external URL image? In AS 2 the code is
'getURL("putaddresshere")' and in AS 3 it's 'navigateToURL("")' ...
If it's a simple image, it's easier just to import it to the
stage, save it as a symbol, put it in a timeline frame and then
code your link so on click or rollover it goes
'gotoAndPlay(framenumber)'. -
Dreamweaver very slow when linking to external CSS style sheets
I'm working on a site on my PC using Dreamweaver CS6. When I link to external style sheets, Dreamweaver virtually grinds to a halt. Just clicking from one line to another can take up 10 seconds. My PC is high spec, i3720, stripes set drives and 32gb ram.
I have tried deleting the cache no change. The external css files are part of the site and the site has been rebuilt . Can somone help with this as it is seriously impacting my ability to use Dreamweaver.Hi Murray, the RAM comments were irrelevant, pointless. 32GB RAM vs 4GB RAM? Sorry, I worked at Microsoft and as a systems integrataion consultant for a number of years. 32bit programmes don't access RAM the same as 64bit, but, having 32gb with a 64Bit OS means RAM usage for a 32bit programme is better managed. Programmes and data files are on seperate drives. My data files kept are on 3 disk stripe sets.
The CSS files and the HTML file are on the same drive. AS an example of performance for data read/writes, I also use Photoshop CS6 to edit images in excess of 2gb in size containg multiple smart object, and I dont experience this type perormance lag.
In this case, RAM is mainly irrlevent because the file are small, approx 200kb total combined size. I mentioned RAM in my initial post because any time I've had problems with Adobe products before, I've always been asked how much RAM I have.
So, can we please drop RAM, and perhaps focus on the problem....
Dreamweaver, regardless of what background processes I have running, regardless of how much RAM I have, regardless of where the files are kept, has a significant performance hit when editing an HTML file with links to multiple CSS files. -
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); -
External image gallery problem
Hi,
I'm getting a strange problem with my gallery which uses
external images. The first time you open the page with the gallery
on, all of the pictures are full size and overlap each other but
then when you press refresh all the images shrink down to there
inteded size and the gallery works perfectly. This seems very
strange that it fixs itself. Anyone got any ideas?
heres a link to some screen shots of the gallery breaking:

I want to attach the link to text which gives the name of the site. I am not an idiot, just unfamiliar with the program. I have looked through the learning videos but cannot find anything that specifically relates to my question. I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you, in advance, for any assistance.
SueI am unable to open the screen shots as I keep getting a message saying that I am not using the correct program. Can you tell me which program I should use? Thank you.

thanks for any reply.
RosoneIt is not a bug, you might be using IE in Windows server 2012 and and browser might be restricting your site actions to respond properly.
Check this in a different browser or access site in a differ OS.

Problems with animated masks and external images
I have an instance of a movieClip on the stage and I load an external JPG into the movieClip. The movieClip is masked by a layer that begins animating on a certain frame. As soon as I reach that frame my externally loaded JPG disappears. The movieClip doesn't mind being masked, but as soon as the mask animates the external image goes away. The mask animation is shapes drawn frame by frame.
It is interesting to note that if I create a Class and load the JPG into the movieClip (or do this in a constructor) I do not experience this problem - it is when the JPGs are loaded into an instance of the movieClip that lives on the stage that I encounter this. Unfortunately that is not an option in my project (since I have to get the path for the JPG from an xml file I am loading).
Could someone please help me with this?that's a flash bug.

Insert Link and Insert Image broken in Chrome
The Insert Link and Insert Image buttons have been broken in my Chrome for at least the last couple of days (latest version, 32.0.1700.72 m, Windows 7 64).
When you click one of the buttons, the overlay window appears with a title, but it is otherwise black with no contents. (See screenshot below.)
The buttons work fine in Firefox. What hasn't helped: deleting cookies, clearing the browser cache, waiting for several minutes for their content to appear.Whtat are we supposed to Claudio? All descend on Adobe with clubs and try to beat some sense into someone!
The fact is the customer is no longer the prime concern. Most companies don't give a Rats behind (toned down to prevent censors action) about the customers. It's the almighty dollar. Screw as many customers as they can while they can and line their pockets with all the green backs as they can while they can. Then if the cusomers leave so be they take their money and run.
Customer use to have power, they would speak loud and frequently and get things fixed. And what with people from other countries now owning US companies, That were brought up with different moral compasses. They have no concept of this thing of loyalty to customers. The customer can jump off a cliff and they will simply cheer them on while the do so.
We have lost, the fight can't be won. It no use. So Pat and others are right.
I've been trying for 15 years for adobe to fix the issue of having multiple Pdfs created from Office documents because the claim they can't figure out how MS does Page and section breaks. And the issue of Weblinks not being active when converted to PDF's Both on Mac's yet on PC's there is no issue. I quite this year after I received a down right nasty not from Adobe say they didn't have any interest in fixing the bugs and were not about to try. What it amounted was go take a flying leap.
They have the ability. They have beenblaming Its apple because they don't do such and such , or Microsoft because they don't do so and such. On the Links issue Saying MS doesn't provided the necessary hooks in the mac version of Office. They do you can take a Word document created on a Mac and open a PC and create a PDF and the links will be active. You can Open a Word Document in Apple's pages and all links created in Office document will be there. The argument has been proven several different ways to be a an outright bald-faced lie. The defect is squarely with the Mac version of Acrobat.
So Pat and others are right. Just throw in that towel. Adobe support of its customers is now 10 times worse than intuit's which is supposed have the lowest reputation of any software compny that ever existed. -
Adding a link to an image.. Help!
I use Dreamweaver and I was able to add a link to an image on
my site. The link directs people to a video. The problem is, it
works perfectly in IE, but in the Foxfire browser when I click on
the image, a new blank page opens and then the video pops up on
windows media player.
In IE, the page stays the same and just the windows media
player pops up.
Why would it work differently in Foxfire?The reason will be that IE has a setting to handle the videa
but FF is very
modular and so will not.
