Load image dynamically by scripting to dynamic xml pdf, is it possible?

Hi All,
I've uploaded static pdf form to http://groups.google.com/group/livecycle/web/logo.pdf.
The form contains ImageField.
In the "docReady" event of the form I wrote a script:
ImageField1.value.image.href="http://www.quicksoft.co.il/images/
quicksoftlogo2.jpg";
When the form is loaded the ImageField shows the image from the url
I've updated in the script.
Once the form is saved as dynamic xml pdf the script stop working.
Is that means that it is not possible to load images by scripting to
dynamic xml pdfs?
Anyone familiar with workarounds for it?
Thanks in advance,
Rbuz

I got an answer from Adobe:
Dynamic change of an image href has been disabled due to potential security issues. There are however a few workarounds to choose from:
1. Embedding the images in the form as hidden objects. They can then be set to visible on initialize or clicking a button. This will affect performance, but if the images are in a compressed format, this can be minimized.
2. Create a Web service interface to grab the image from wherever they are stored, base64 encode it and return it to the form. You would also have to update the bindings for the image field on the form (a one time operation).

Loading images from an Array generated from XML

OK, this is my first day trying to use AS3 and I'm kind of
confused on how to load an image onto the screen and then be able
to resize it, scale it, etc..
I'm loading up to 5 images in from an XML file that will be
generated on a server. (right now I'm just using a test.xml file).
Normally I would load the images into dynamically created
movie clips (whatever0_mc through whatever4_mc generated by code in
AS2). But I can't seem to get anything working.. I've looked on the
internet and read through some information but I'm still just
REALLY confused... this is what I have so far. To make it easier on
me in the future, I've put different code on different layers so I
can look at it closer.. I've separated the code into the different
layers they're on here:
First Layer:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader; // URL Loader Import for Images
import flash.net.URLRequest; // URL Requests Import for
Images
import flash.display.Loader; // Loader
import flash.events.ProgressEvent; // Progress for Loader
import flash.text.TextField; // Imports for Text Fields
import flash.display.Sprite; // Imports Sprite stuff for
loaded Images
import flash.display.Bitmap; // Imports stuff to display a
bitmap
Second Layer:
var imgLoader:Loader = new Loader(); // Initialize Image
Loader
// Listeners for the Image Loaders //
function showPreloader(evt:Event):void {
trace("-- ** showPreloader ** --");
addChild(loadProgress_txt);
function showProgress(evt:ProgressEvent):void {
trace("-- ** showProgress ** --");
var totalLoaded:Number = evt.bytesTotal;
var currentLoaded:Number = evt.bytesLoaded;
var thePercent:Number = (currentLoaded * 100) / totalLoaded;
loadProgress_txt.text = thePercent + "%"; // Show bytes
loaded
function showLoadResult(evt:Event):void {
trace("-- ** showLoadResult ** --");
Third Layer:
// Setup Variables //
var imageArray:Array = new Array();
var galleryTitle:String;
var numPhotos:Number;
var gallerySubmitter:String;
// XML Info //
XML.ignoreComments = true;
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
var galleryXML:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.xml");
xmlLoader.load(request);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, XMLComplete);
function XMLComplete(evt:Event):void {
trace("-- ** XMLComplete ** --");
var loader:URLLoader = evt.target as URLLoader;
if (loader != null){
galleryXML = new XML(loader.data);
galleryTitle = galleryXML.children()[0].attributes()[0];
numPhotos = galleryXML.children()[0].attributes()[1];
gallerySubmitter = galleryXML.children()[0].attributes()[2];
trace("galleryTitle: " + galleryTitle);
trace("numPhotos: " + numPhotos);
trace("gallerySubmitter: " + gallerySubmitter);
for(var i:Number = 0; i<numPhotos; i++) {
imageArray.push(galleryXML.children()[0].children()
.attributes()[1]);
} // for(var i:Number = 0; i<numPhotos; i++)
trace(imageArray.toString());
trace("loading: images\\gallery\\" + imageArray[0]);
var imgRequest:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("images\\gallery\\" + imageArray[0]); // Request the
Image into the Loader
imgLoader.load(imgRequest);
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,showPreloader);
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,showProgress);
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showLoadResult);
} else { // if (loader != null){
trace("loader is not a URLLoader!");
} // if (loader != null){
} // function onComplete(event:Event):void {
// End XML Info //
Can anyone point me in the next direction?
thanks...

When you used the IMAQ create VI you specified each image to use the same name of "image". Each image has to have a unique name. I edited your VI to give a unique name for each image and I was able to view three different images in three different viewing panes.

XML to load images dynamically

Hi,
I have an XML file which is programmed to load images into a slide show dynamically. So it must be associated with a button to launch this I'd imagine.
If I want to add more buttons, do I simply add more script to that one XML file giving the new images different names than what was used with button #1, or do I create an XML file for each button and upload all to the web?
Thanks.

xml files can't program anything. they store data (and are there a from of database).
it's not clear what adding more buttons has to do with your xml file. is there data in the xml file that relates to buttons?
and it's not clear what images and a slide show have to do with anything.
but commonly, an xml file would store data about what images to display in a slideshow. and the xml file might even contain text to display for each image and possibly an external link associated with each image and maybe some specifics about how to display the image.

Loading Images Dynamically from MySql

Hello
I need to load images in my swf file dynamically from MySql
using PHP. Brief is I have one Swf file and and i want to animate
image in it but image should be come from dynamic path.. anybody
can tell me how to do this? if you want more brief then i can
provide it but it is urgent...
Thanks in advance

I'm afriad I don't have a solution to your problem but I was
curious as to why you would load it from a database vs a directory.
I know you can have users upload to a directory and a database but
I don't understand the benifit since I think you'd be adding load
on the database server. Is it a server side image manipulation
thing?

Loading images glitch

Hi,
There's a lot more going on in this script than simply loading images. First I am dynamically creating the movieclips into which the images are being loaded. I am also dynamically creating masks which are used to make a refelction movie clip (basically an identicle clip that is inverted and place below the clip that is right-side up), and all the clips and masks are added to and positioned within a movie clip on the starge. The problem is that even when verifying that each mask is in the right place and that the inverted clip has the mask as its mask (which are the last operations carried out by the script called by the image loader's Event.COMPLETE handler) I still have missing reflections. Usually the missing reflctions are the first reflections e.g. 1 and 2.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Chris McLaughlin

Hi,
In case anyone is interested. I was eventually able to solve this problem by changing the order around so that loadImage(url) triggered the creation of the upright image loader and its complete event triggered the loading of the inverted image which in turn triggered the loading of the next upright image on its complete event. Once all of the images were loaded and placed on the stage, I ran a function that created, placed, sized and assigned the masks. Hope this helps somebody.

Problems loading images dynamically with XML

Hi Everyone,
I am working with a project that was build by another
developer and I have been asked to modify it several ways. This is
an interactive map for a hotel brand where when you click on the
USA, you get a list of all the states, click a state and a list of
all the hotels in that state comes up, click a hotel, the hotel's
information is displayed. I understand the structure of the files,
how they make them work, though I couldn't build it myself.
The problem I am having is this. can't make the hotels'
photos load into the flash through the XML. I created a target
movie file that the image could load into but something is not
happening as far as loading the images. I don't know if the movie
clip that I created is the right way to go (it was made as an
object in the library that is exported via AS), or if I should
create one in the action script file that loads the XML data.
I looked at some tutorials about how to load images with XML
but those didn't get into the level of detail that I need for this
project.
I've attached some partial code to see if anyone can help me
work through this.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Jeremiah

I'm a noob at AS3 and trying to learn this XML stuff myself,
but i have been able to load pictures to the stage...this might
help you...my xml file photo section is similar to yours, only I
have it labeled as "href" instead of "source"...
var imageLoader:Loader;
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xmldata/images.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event) :void {
xml = XML(event.target.data);
xmlList = xml.children();
for (var i:int = 0; i<xmlList.length(); i++) {
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList
.attribute("href")));
imageLoader.x = 0;
imageLoader.y = 0;
addChild(imageLoader);

Problem with loading images dynamically in a pdf document

dear,
I am using live cycle designer and i need to load image from a url dynamically in to the document.For this case i placed an imagefield on my document and i wrote javascript to load image in the form:ready event.
My script for that was
imagefield.value.image.href="url".Actually i saw an imagefield in my document but it doesnt carry any image.Please help me to rectify this problem......

If you save your form as Static PDF, it works.
But most of the time we need the Dynamic XML form. So, I am also stuggling with this issue.

Loading images dynamically

Hi,
This is my code.
[Embed(source="C:/images/temp.jpg")]
var uploadedImage:String;
imgPhoto.source = uploadedImage;
Every time the image changes, I need to dynamically load the new image. But flex seems to cache the image somewhere.
I cannot get the new image to display. Any suggestions. Thank You.

For your kind information flex doesnt cache any image. use Bindable as follows
            [Embed(source="image")]
            [Bindable] -- Important
            public var Logo:Class;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
When the source changes image also changes
image.source = Class;
good to go....

Dynamically loaded images cached?

We have an xml feed that is refreshed every hour. According
to the xml file, we dynamically load an image into an html text
field each time someone hits our page. All of the images have been
recently updated, but the old ones are still appearing? We use the
swf?nocache=randomnumber convention to make sure the swf file
itself isn't cached, but is there anything we can do to clear out
the cache of dynamically loaded images? If there isn't anything we
can do, will these all eventually refresh themselves? This is how
the html is generated where "twcImage[0]" is the image in question.
Thanks!

Do the same random number for the images.
twcImage[0] + randomnumber

Part 2: Load Image from URL into Dynamic Text Box - goodinson.snapshot

I have a flash file where a user can add an image url into a Dynamic Text Box (image_in.text) and the image will now appear in the flash file.
I am using goodinson.snapshot as featured in this article: Saving Flash graphics as image files at runtime | Adobe Developer Connection
This application works fine (graphic is generated and downloaded) only if a user chooses an included graphic in the flash file (loaded externally) or if I declare a url inside the flash file for the load image variable (var image_url:String = "http://website.com/image.jpg";).
However, if a user enters an image url into the Dynamic Text Box (image_in.text), which the flash does successfully load, the download image function no longer works!
Is this a security bug in flash itself? Or am I missing a code tweak somewhere?
If an FLA that does this already exists somewhere, let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your response!
The image urls are on the same domain as where the swf is.
I don't understand how declaring the variable as the url is different from declaring it from the value of a dynamic text box... it's the same url, but only one method works, shouldn't they both work?
var image_url:String = "http://website.com/image.jpg"; works..
var image_url:String = image_in.text; does not work, even though the value for image_in.text is identical to the one in the example above.
Since they are all on the same domain, this should work, right?
Thanks again.

In dynamic pages do not load images or styles

MAMP as a local server, when I open in Edge a dynamically generated page (Wordpress) in iPhone or iPad does not load images or CSS. But if I open a static page everything works correctly.
I tried to change the ports from localhost:8888 to localhost and not work either.

Hi,
This is a known issue with the way Wordpress generates the URLs to included content:http://forums.adobe.com/message/4774943
Wordpress generates absolute URLs to content rather than relative URLs, so the current workaround is to either use relative URLs or, if that's not possible, modify the wordpress configuration to use the IP address instead of localhost.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Dynamically loading images: UI Loader issue

I posted this last week, but did not show good examples to get help. Admittedly, I am new to flash, so this may be a bit elementary, so my apologies in advance. I am trying to dynamically load images through the UI Loader component. Attached are the errors I get, and although I think that the coding is close to correct, when I publish, it just flashes up then restarts the movie... any ideas? Thanks in advance.

there's a problem attaching things to this forum. so, nothing is attached.
can you copy and paste your error messages to this forum?

How to dynamically load images into Flash

I have a movie clip on the stage that I want to dynamically
load images into (that constantly change), how would I go about
doing this? Thanks.

Use the Loader class to load in images.
Then use addChild to add the Loader class into your MovieClip
on the stage.
As far as &quot;constantly change&quot; what
do you mean by that? You could use setInterval, ther enterFrame
event, or any other means to trigger a new image to be loaded into
the Loader instance.
Finally, you can use the Tween class to create some nice
effects for the images (fade it, blur in, photo blend, masks,
etc)

I want to load external content, which is a dynamic animation containing scripts js and css.

Edge Animate CC 2014 - code (eg. compositionReady). How to enter the code to work.
Edge Animate - compositionReady
sym.$("container01").load("page.html #box01");
This is the file to be loaded - page.htm
<head>
<script src="http://example.com/inc/carousel.js?ver=4.1"></script>
</head>
Body
<body>
<div id="box01">
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
#box01 { height: 1%; margin: 30px 0 0; overflow:hidden; position: relative; padding: 0 50px 10px; }
</style>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){jQuery('#gallery').carousel({ buttons: true, interval: true, });});
</script>
</div>
</body>
On the page.html and ID = "box01" is dynamic content (gallery)
which loads a by means of an additional js script.
How do I load the page to see it animate edge?
I load through an iframe, but I need only a part of the page. So one div.
Something is missing, as in this writing is not working.
Is loaded into the container only one photo and no animation offset.
I greet.

If you're using Fluid Grid Layouts, none of these methods will work. I think the very best you can do is determine the min-height required for desktops & tablets. Mobile devices don't need min-height because those divisions will stack on top of each other.
To illustrate with a working example,
http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid2.html
The relevant CSS code:
/* Special Rules for Tablets */
@media only screen and (min-width: 481px) {
.gridContainer >div {min-height: 255px;}
/* Special Rules for Desktops */
@media only screen and (min-width: 1025px) {
.gridContainer >div {min-height: 325px;}

Get width and height of a dynamically loaded image once it's done loading?!

hello : :
well... i'm taking my first shots at flex after programming
in flash for a year now. it's been fun and i've been picking up on
things pretty well (or so i think), but i come across something
today that i used to be able to do in my as2 programming and don't
know how to do in as3...
in flex, i'm loading an image into an image control (by using
"myImgControl.load(urlString)"). i have a "complete" parameter on
the image control that calls a function just fine after the image
is loaded, but if i try and check the hight and width of the loaded
image once it loads, it comes back as zero. how can i get the
height and width of the image after it's loaded?!
in flash/as2 i used to do this little trick/work-around i
found in a forum (kirupa.com, i think) to find out the width and
height once the loaded image listener checked the loading process
and came back "complete"... in the code below, "imgLoader" is the
movieClip the image was loaded using
imgLoaderListener.loadClip(urlString, imgLoader).
quote:
iTot = imgLoader.getBytesTotal();
iLoad = imgLoader.getBytesLoaded();
if (iLoad == iTot && iTot > 4) {
imgH = imgLoader._height;
imgW = imgLoader._width;
that all make sense?!
basically, it's as simple as this: i need to find something
similar to the above for as3 that will tell me the width and height
of a dynamically loaded image after it's done loading...
so there ya have it. i appreciate any help any of you can
throw my way! thank you so much for even reading this!
: : michael

I assume you have probably already figured this out, but just
in case, there should be an event to listen for after which you can
get the height and width information successfully. I can't remember
the exact name, however. Experiment and see which one works
time-wise.
