Load external jpg
I cannot load external jpg, they're not progresive.... the
jpg files are inside a folder, and I write the next code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 100);
mc.loadMovie("flash/photo1.jpg");
but it doesn't work...
Thanks
use trace(mc) to confirm "this" refers to a movieclip, make
sure there's nothing at a greater depth preventing you from seeing
your image, double check your spelling of flash/photo1.jpg (and
case counts) and make sure your html file is in a super folder of
the flash folder, if you're testing in a browser.

Vista problem with loading external JPGs?
I'm really pulling my hair out on this one. I did a quick
flash piece for a preschool's web site and have tried several
different Flash components inside of a larger FLA file that load
external JPG files in a predefined area. With each component, I
have received complaints (so far only from Vista users) that the
user sees nothing in the area where photos are supposed to be
loading. Instead they just see a white or black box.
Is there any known issue with this? They can see everything
else in the SWF file (the swinging girl and the text), but not any
of the loaded JPG photos. Can anyone else out there with Vista tell
me that they have the same problem? I'd like to track down what the
common denominator is.
I've asked two of the users to completely uninstall the Flash
player and reinstall it, but to no avail. Deactivating Norton
Antirvirus also didn't seem to do anything.
Here is the URL:
http://www.countryvillageps.com
-- the flash item is the top banner.As Ned said the problem might be with the file structure on the server. Other problems may be with spelling. You computer may not be case sensitive to the names of the .swf files that you are loading, but your server might. So, on your computer when you are testing, second.swf is the same as Second.swf, or even second.SWF. But, on the server each of these variations is seen as a different file. Another problem is that when you are loading files from the same computer in testing, those files are close and so they load very quickly from your computer. When the files have to travel from the server, there will likely be a measurable period of time before the file is ready to be shown. This is particularly problematic with video that is embedded into an .swf. The whole file will need to be downloaded and uncompressed before it is available to play. If you stream the video as an external file, you can shorten the wait considerably.

Preloader whilst loading external .jpg
This is the script I use to load external .jpgs into a site
btn1.onRelease = function (){
loadMovie("Bike.jpg", _root.photo.empty);
_root.stick.gotoAndStop(80);
How would I create script so that it creates a sepaprate
preloader whilst each image is loading.for something like this it's best to use the MovieClipLoader
class, rather than loadMovie() - doing so will allow you to use the
onLoadPrgress handler to update the preloader while it's being
loaded. it would go something like this: -
Can you load external jpg files
Is there a way to load external .jpg files on the fly or do
they have to reside in the swf file?Hi Persons,
macrofireball is correct as always, but I'll just add a
thought to this thread because I suspect "rfull" isn't actually
asking what he/she
appears to be asking.
No photo can ever be displayed "by itself". That is, image
files are always "opened" in some sort of vehicle. It might be an
image editor, or it might be a document like a *.DOC or a *.HTM ...
but
something must "contain" the image.
So you can access a photo at any time you wish by putting it
on a web page, then linking to the web page (for instance). Is
something like that what you really had in mind?
Have a good 'un folks!

developing a ui in flash for photo gallery which I am loading
into dreamweaver.
using as3 in flash to load external photo files so not all
having to download on opening.
have had no problem in dreamweaver with swfs with embedded
jpgs.
ui comes up in dreamweaver but not external files. even
though when I open swf movie or the flash created html of same
file, on its own, no prob.
anyone run across this problem, jpgs are in same file as
flash media, also dropped them into image file just in case that
might work---no go
any ideas ?your isse begins here ..
loadSection()
you use the same loader to not only load files but you are tyring to use it to target the movieClip you also want to play.
The issue is loader. The loader can only reference one load at a time.. otherwise you screw up your listeners and the ability to unload files properly.
You should load all files in Your current system as its own variable so that while one loads you can still control a movie.
So what type of end transitions do your files have?
What exactly with this seems like youre getting an issue.. looking at it looks alright aside from the fact that some methods are not used at all by your class -
Need to load external jpgs at once
I am using loadMovie to load all my external jpgs at once. On
start I have thumbnails which animates, and using loadMovie load
jpgs into that thumbnails. Offline it works fine, but online it
only loads few jpgs first with animation and rest loads without
animation just blink and loads. can you help me out for this.
this is my sample page link:
http://suewong.yourdemowebsite.com/editorial.htmLook at MovieClipLoader instead - images take time to load.
You have to wait
until your files have loaded before trying to use them - MCL
is best for
that, with its onLoadInit method.

I'm building a generic slideshow. The slideshow displays NINE
buttons. Each button, when clicked, will load a corresponding
external JPG. For example, if I click BUTTON THREE then JPG THREE
is loaded. BUTTON TWO loads JPG TWO, etc.. I'm looking for a way to
"recognize" if there are FEWER available JPGs than the NINE BUTTONS
in my slideshow. For example, if I have just FIVE JPGs available
and I click on button number SEVEN, I want nothing to happen. At
the moment I get an error message that JPG SEVEN does not
exist.that error message won't be seen outside the authoring
environment. once you publish, pressing button 7 will result in
nothing happening. -
[Q] duplicating movieclip with loaded external jpg file
Hi, Im trying to make thumbnail and enlarged picture by
duplication.
What i tried was using duplication of thumbnail movieclip
which jpg image is loaded
However it seems not working as i intended,so I had to make
empty movieclip and loaded image again!!!
I am concerning that if I use new movieclip and loading the
image again..it means users have to download the same image twice.
Basically, I am trying to make a list of thumbnailed images
with enlarged picture popes up when mouse rolls over them
Is there any proper way to make it happen?
or duplication just doesnt work even thou movieclip is
already loaded with image?
Thank you for your time~> simple create your movieclip. Now create an empty clip
inside. You will
load

duplicated, but you will be

No, that will not work
You are partly right - if you create a nested clip and assign
properties
(such as an onPress handler) to the parent clip, you can then
load content
into the child without overwriting the parent's properties.
If you load an
image into the child and then duplicate the parent however,
the image in the
child clip *will not be duplicated*. Try it.

It means that will

Again, partly right. Lets take it bit by bit:
> yes the user will have to
> load it again, but it is already in the Browser Cache
The movie will have to load it again, but will probably load
it from cache.
> Bad side is more that you will doble
> the bandwidth of the images loading on your site.
Not so. If it's in the cache, it doesn't use any bandwidth at
all - that's
what caching means! A copy of the image is saved on the
user's local hard
drive, so no bandwidth needs to be used when loading from
cache.
Basically, for the *majority* of users, loaded images will be
cached (this
is dependent on browser settings, but most users will have
their browsers
set to cache). This means that after the first load,
subsequent loads of the
same image will be quick and carry no bandwidth overheads.
The real issue here is that dynamic content in movieClips,
such as loaded
images, swfs, or graphics created with the drawing API will
not duplicate
when the clip is duplicated/ The accepted work around used to
be simply to
reload the aimge. Now with Flash 8 though you can use the
BitmapData class
to grab a copy of the image and redraw it to the newly
created clip if you
so wish.

Loading external .jpgs or .swfs on different layers
Hi all. Hope someone can help me. How do I get an external
file I upload onto a website through a movieClip instance, to load
behind certain stuff. For instance: I have drop-up and drop-down
menus and want the file thats uploaded to load behind that specific
layer. Do I use code like "send to back", and what would the code
be? I am attaching my currant code so that you can tell me what to
add, and where. Thanks.create a new layer that is under the layer of your 'certain
stuff'. then create a new symbol, Movie Clip, and drag an instance
of it from the library to the stage on to the newly created layer..
then give that movie clip an instance name of holder_mc. and take
out
var holder_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());

Flash MX Preloader for external JPGs
Hey all! Any help would be greatly appreciated. In all
honesty, I have searched and studied and worked to get this myself,
which I do alot with code, etc. BUT I am going to admit I'm a "make
it pretty on the outside" kind of guy, and coding makes my eyeballs
fall out and well, honestly, I just don't get it. My brain can not
wrap itself around this. Sigh! So I could use your help a little.
This is what I'm wanting to do. I have a website,
www.luxeillustrato.com, and if you go to the portfolio area, and
click on any of the sections (take fine art for example); it will
showcase my works by loading external jpg files each time you click
the forward arrow button.
You can see I have preloaders on the site, that work fine. My
main page has a movie target with the instance name of photoM. You
click "artist", and it loads a new swf file into the photoM target.
IF you click on "portfolio", "fine art", it loads the fine art swf
file into photoM, using a preloader. THEN, if you click on the
forward arrow button, a new jpg image of my work is loaded into the
fine art movie target with the instance name of just
photo. As you can see, you have to wait until the jpg image
loads (and you start to wonder if it's doing anything.)
The problem is, it is not preloading the external jpgs, it's
just preloading the fine art swf. My preload code is currently:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
totalBytes = _parent.getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.ceil((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
gotoAndStop(percent);
info_txt.text = percent+" %";
if (percent>=100) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("inter");
I already have the preload animation bar created (as you can
see on the site.) What do I need to do to alter the code above (or
replace it) in order to have the external jpgs be preloaded as
well? For example's sake, let's just say I have four jpgs, titled
"door.jpg", "orange.jpg", "boyfriend.jpg", and "untitled.jpg" (in
case these are needed for the code. They may not be.)
I hope this is easy to understand. If NOT, just tell me. I'll
simplify. And seriously, thanks!put a stop() on the first frame of your external swf in an otherwise empty first frame. when preloading is complete apply a play() to your loader's content cast as a movieclip:
function contentLoaded(evt:Event):void {
//Optionally change to a clip holder and set progressbar visibility.
addChild(contentLoader);
MovieClip(contentLoader.content).play(); -
Load a external jpg in BitmapData
Hello Everybody,
I search a way to load a external jpg from my server in my
swf to use
it with the BitmapData-Class.
The Method loadBitmap only works with images from my internal
library.
What do you think is the best way to solve this problem.
For me it seems to be a little bit stupid to load the image
in a MovieClip.
Then Scan the Mc to write it in a BitmapData-Object.
To Filter it. And then write it back to an MC.
Do you know a way, where I can load it directly to and
BitmapData-Object
like this:
1) load Image in BitmapData-Object
2) Filter - Image
3) attachBitmap to MovieClip
I am a noob with Flash 8 and my english is very bad.
So sorry and thanks for you help
jm//import BitmapData
import flash.display.BitmapData;
//stop movie so it doesn't repeat over and over
stop();
//load a pic into an mc on the stage
content_mc.loadMovie("flash.jpg", 1);
//create a function that runs every frame (only for this
example, it keeps running and you won't want that
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
//this is the interesting bit, basically the next line is
your preloader 100% action, the pic has to actually have been fully
loaded before we can do this
if (_root.content_mc.getBytesLoaded() ==
_root.content_mc.getBytesTotal()) {
//create a variable to hold the bitmapdata info
myBitmapData = new
flash.display.BitmapData(content_mc._width, content_mc._height,
true, 0x00FFFFFF);
//copy the bitmap into the bitmapdata variable we just
created
myBitmapData.draw(_root.content_mc);
//now attach it to a different mc for the sake of example
_root.content_mc2.attachBitmap(myBitmapData, 1, "auto",
true);
//rotate both movieclips so you can see the difference
_root.content_mc._rotation = 30;
_root.content_mc2._rotation = 30;

External jpg not loading when slideshow is live.
When testing locally the slideshow works fine. When i upload
the swf the external jpg do not show up. Anything graphic embedded
in the swf shows up. The external jpg don't :/
The jpgs are uploaded and all.
i use different syntax that work ok when testing locally but
no cigar when uploaded.
I can send the simple fla and jpg upon request.
Tks for your helpare you using preloader code or the onLoadInit() method of
the moviecliploader class to ensure your images are loaded before
starting the countdown to the next image load? -
[Q] Loading one external JPG file into different MCs & Downloading
Hi, I was wondering if I set few MCs to load the same
external JPG file, would users need to download thme few times?
Or only need to download once?
I am having trouble loading long 700*8000 jpg files due to
limited pixel size of 2300(?).
I was thking of making them into 2000 * 2000 square pictures
by cutting long picture into short sigments and putting them side
by side.
and using AS to make them appear as single long picture by
using 2 MCs with same image but at different x position of loaded
square Picture.
Anyone have better idea?
I am bit hesitated to make jpg to swf files cuz I have too
many pictures
Plz spare some time for me..
Thank you for your time~!!!!thank you, kglad..
I was thking of making 700 * 8000 image into 2800*2800 image
this square picture works as four (700*2800) images.
So that i can use 2 set of same jpg MC with differnt Masking
to make them
appears as continuously long images
eg. 1st Mc will be showing _x: 0-700
at the bottom of the first MC, 2nd MC will be showing _x:
700-1400
and so on so on..
so..when user is scrolling down..these MCs will makeing
sqaure image
as long portrait image..
I dont beleve myself it is a good solution..
Probably most suitable way would be what you just suggested
me..
Its just that it will be quite a time consuming job to make
jpgs into swfs...
Thank you again for your kindness..:) -
Unable to load external swf which has runtime sharing with another swf.
Hi,
I am getting issues on loading external swf say "importer.swf" file into another swf file say "loader.swf" for second time like
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable testSymbol is not defined. VerifyError: Error #1014: Class testClass could not be found.
at global$init()
In the external swf "importer.swf", i am trying to import the symbol "testSymbol" from another swf file say "exporter.swf", which exports through runtime sharing option for the symbols.
I am having some buttons in loader.swf file and on each button click i am loading different swf files into the loader.swf after unloading the previous one.
I am able to load and unload different swf files but unable to load the importer.swf file which is sharing symbols from external swf and that too for the second time i.e., when i click the button twice.
When trying to debug with flash debugger, all the other swf files are being unloaded before loading of another swf but the swf which is sharing symbols/classes with another swf is not getting unloaded.
Output when i am trying to load two files example and importer files into loader.swf file on two different button clicks. On first button click example.swf is loaded. On second button click , example.swf is unloaded and importer.swf is loaded which is successful. On first button click again importer.swf is unloaded and example.swf is loaded. On second button click again, example.swf is unloaded and importer.swf is loaded, here i am getting issues shown above.

If i try to open the swf using IE, i am not getting any issues at all. But i need to open this loader.swf in a air application. Also when i use loaderContext for the loader instance i am able to get rid of this issue but i cant use it in my application.
So, please help me in resolving this issue.
