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.

  • Link External Graphic from within VC

    Is there a way to link external image content (in this case, a dynamically generated graphic) into a VC-created page?  The graphic is accessible via a URI (ideally the URI could contain embedded values passed from other components on the page).

    Hi,
    You can do that if you map a calculated field (a field with a CALC dynamic expression) to the url field of the HTML view.
    This way you can dynamically create the url and pass it on to the html view.

  • Flash hijacking HTML links while images are loading

    I've designed a slide show player using Flash and Actionscript 3.0 which loads several external images. While the images are loading, the HTML links on my page (outside of the Flash movie) don't work. As soon as all the images are loaded, the links start working again. It seems like the Flash player is hijacking the browser while the images are loading which can take the better part of a minute depending on my connection speed. I can click an HTML link once during the loading time and as soon as the images have loaded, the browser loads the new page (the one the HTML links to). Once all the images are in my Temporary Internet Files folder, this problem ceases to exist (since the images no longer need to be downloaded). It's only first-time viewers that will have this problem, but it's a pretty major problem.
    To see what I'm talking about, go to:
    http://www.ericlindberg.com/indexTemp.html
    Click the Images button after the "Loading..." animation disappears but before all the images are loaded. As the images load the thumbnails at the bottom of the Flash player go from 50% to 100% opaque. If  you click the "Images" button before all the thumbnails are 100% opaque, nothing happens. However, once they are all loaded and the thumbnails are all 100% opaque, the "Images" page loads. You can do the same thing with any of the subpages in the Images section of the site and get the same results.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You might try using CSS rollovers instead of MM (javascript) rollovers.  Straight HTML links load fast and work immediately.

  • XML links and images won't show up

    Can someone help me with links not showing up from my

    news, its basically an rss feed xml file i am trying to use a CSS
    file to make the links and images show up but to no avail. What do
    i have to do for the links to be clickable rather than just show up
    like <a-href="etc....

    try this: <item><![CDATA[type all the stuff here
    then <a href="your URL" target="_blank">link

  • 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);

    body  {
    font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    background: #666666;
    margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */

    color: #000000;
    /* Tips for Elastic layouts
    1. Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate.
    2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this.
    3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing.
    .twoColElsRtHdr #container {
    width: 46em;  /* this width will create a container that will fit in an 800px browser window if text is left at browser default font sizes */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
    .twoColElsRtHdr #header {
    background: #DDDDDD;
    padding: 0 10px;  /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
    .twoColElsRtHdr #header h1 {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
    padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
    /* Tips for sidebar1:
    1. Be aware that if you set a font-size value on this div, the overall width of the div will be adjusted accordingly.
    2. Since we are working in ems, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar itself. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
    3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColElsRtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
    .twoColElsRtHdr #sidebar1 {
    float: right;
    width: 12em; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
    background: #EBEBEB; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
    padding: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */
    .twoColElsRtHdr #sidebar1 h3, .twoColElsRtHdr #sidebar1 p {
    margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */
    margin-right: 10px;
    /* Tips for mainContent:
    1. If you give this #mainContent div a font-size value different than the #sidebar1 div, the margins of the #mainContent div will be based on its font-size and the width of the #sidebar1 div will be based on its font-size. You may wish to adjust the values of these divs.
    2. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div.  No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
    3. To avoid float drop, you may need to test to determine the approximate maximum image/element size since this layout is based on the user's font sizing combined with the values you set. However, if the user has their browser font size set lower than normal, less space will be available in the #mainContent div than you may see on testing.
    4. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs that may occur.
    .twoColElsRtHdr #mainContent {
       margin: 0 13em 0 10px; /* the left margin will look best if you match the padding amount to the header and footer. */
    .twoColElsRtHdr #footer {
    padding: 0 10px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear above it. */
    background:#DDDDDD;
    .twoColElsRtHdr #footer p {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space between divs */
    padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */
    /* Miscellaneous classes for reuse */
    .fltrt { /* this class can be used to float an element right in your page. The floated element must precede the element it should be next to on the page. */
    float: right;
    margin-left: 8px;
    .fltlft { /* this class can be used to float an element left in your page */
    float: left;
    margin-right: 8px;
    .clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or break element and should be the final element before the close of a container that should fully contain a float */
    clear:both;

  • On YouTube, I can't play playlists there. It says I need to update my Java and it is updated already. When I go to different sites like Yahoo! the links and images are all distorted. This is the second time this has happened to me now

    Hello Firefox,
    I am having problems with my Firefox's image processor I believe. My web browser is fine but then a few minutes later I get some weird look on my page. It then just stays here and I can't fix it. When I go to Yahoo all the links and images do not look normal. I really cannot explain this and wish I could send a picture instead. When I go to the Log in page for Facebook I do not see the image of the small faces networking around the world. It's blank and the links are widely spread apart. With YouTube the page is also distorted. Nothing is arranged properly. I can watch videos. However when I go to someone's profile or a playlist videos cannot play or show up. It says I need to update my Java player and it is already updated. It still happens when I uninstall and re install back. I was only able to fix this problem by uninstalling everything related to Firefox. I do not know how to solve this any other way. I don't like it when all my information is lost such as saved passwords and bookmarks. If there is any way to solve this thanks. I don't want to uninstall this again.

  • 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?

  • Issue opening .AI file with linked/embedded images in Illustrator 6

    Received an Illustrator 16.x ai file with 6 Linked\embedded images. Opening in Illustrator 16.0.3 2 images are missing, but opening in Illustrator 15.1 opens them correctly. Illustrator 16.0.3 has warning "Could not find linked file “filename.png”. Choose replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged". Illustrator 15.1 has warning "The file “filename.ai” was created by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur.". When I open in Photoshop 12.1 and select Images only 4 images show. The two that are missing in ai. are not showing in Photoshop Images option tab, but are in Photoshop when I open the file using pages option tab. Any idea what is happening here and why Illustrator 15.1 opens fine, but Illustrator 16.0.3 cannot?
    Thanks,  Dale

    Illustrator CS5 opens the PDF part of the file. Images are always embedded in that part, but you might not be able to edit all objects in it.
    Illustrator CS6 will access the AI part of the file, where linked images are not embedded. You should ask for the images in order to edit the file.

  • Linking an image from one page to an image within a slideshow on another page.

    I would like to link an image on my home page with an image within a slideshow on another page of my website. I can create the link, but when I click on the link, instead of taking me to the image within the slideshow, it takes me to the first image of the slideshow which I don't want. Is there a way to link to an image "within" the slideshow and not the first image?

    Hi
    You can create pages with specific images and then use link of images which will open the page with that specific image, link images within slideshow to show exact image within would not be possible with native Muse feature as by default slideshow will open the first image in target.
