Loading external images (library)

Hello,
I want to make a photo uploader and after uploading the photo to the server you can load all the photo's that are in a folder in kind of a library.
I can load one single image because I name it in AS but I want to load the whole "images" folder so I can see all the pictures that are in it.
Is this possible? And is there someone who did dat before and that can help me?
Some help would be very nice:)
Thanks!
"This is what I got so far"
load_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LoadBox);
function LoadBox(event:MouseEvent):void {
    //create a Loader instance
var myImageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
//create a  URLRequest instance to indicate the image source
var myImageLocation:URLRequest = new URLRequest("url to website");
// load the bitmap data from the image source in the Loader instance
myImageLoader.load(myImageLocation);
// add the Loader instance to the display list
addChild(myImageLoader);

Hi,
Thanks for the reply but still cant fine something like what you just said.
Do you know a tutorial for this?
" I allready have a file (photo) uploader. Example, I just uploaded  "ImageDog.jpg" and there are allready 15 other photo's in the directory  "images". What I want to do is that when I click a button "Load  Directory" that he loads all the photo's that are inside the directory  including the last one I uploaded."
Maybe that is a better explanation
I think I have to let flash get to a php file that looks into the directory and generate an xml file with all the photo's inside and that Flash reads the XML and Import all the photo's something like that?
Tnx

  • Loading External Images Causes Memory Leak

    I have been working on an Actionscript 2.0 project that basically loads external images.
    Everytime i load and unload a new image, memory increases to 1 or 2 MBs
    If all the images are in cache, then it increased to 4 or 8 KBs
    In the unloading of images, I have removed loader and the container of the image.
    Any thoughts why it is behaving like that?
    Please find the sample code snippet below.
    btn_load.onRelease = function()
    loadImage();
    btn_unLoad.onRelease = function()
    unLoadImage();
    var mcListener:Object = new Object();
    var container1:MovieClip;
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader;
    var loader_reference = this;
    var n=0;
    function loadImage(){
    var image_arr = ["http://xyz.com/image1.png","http://xyz.com/image2.png","http://xyz.com/image3.png","http:/ /xyz.com/image4.png","http://xyz.com/image5.png"];
    var image_url = image_arr[n];
    if(n==image_arr.length-1) {
      n=0;
    }else{ 
      n++;
    container1 = loader_reference.createEmptyMovieClip("container1", loader_reference.getNextHighestDepth());
    mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.removeListener(mcListener);
    mcLoader.addListener(mcListener);
    mcListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip, httpStatus:Number):Void {
    mcListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
      target_mc._x = 300;
      target_mc._y = 200;
      target_mc._width = 300;
      target_mc._height = 250;
    mcLoader.loadClip(image_url, container1);
    function unLoadImage(){
      mcLoader.unloadClip(container1);
      mcLoader = null;
      container1 = null;
      removeMovieClip(loader_reference.container1);
    Thanks in advance.

    that code should only execute once.  fix that.

  • Load external images

    Im wanting to make a photo gallery that I can update easy, I
    thought if I could have a movieclip load external images for my
    thumbnails it would be nice but Im not sure how to set it up. I
    would make a file for my images and then another for my thumbnails,
    then if or when I want to switch out pictures I'd just have to drop
    new images into my folders and not even touch the FLA. Could anyone
    point me in the right direction with the right action script to use
    or a tutorial that explains how this is done..
    And when I say load external I want it so I dont have to
    click on the image for it to load, I want it to just load
    automatically , I would put an invisible button or something to
    that efect over the images for a animated effect.
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't know if you are super enthusiastic about building it,
    or if you just want the utility. If the later is the case, I just
    purchased (cheap) a really great product that does all of what you
    want, fairly automatically, including scaling large pictures down
    to smaller size so that they load quickly.
    I am not sure of the policy of recommending third-party
    applicatons here. So, if you are interested, send an email (private
    message) to me and I will show you the simple site I put together
    using it and where to get it.

  • 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);

  • Making a loaded external image into a button in Actionscript

    My name is Steve Oatman I am a student at
    AIO for a Web Design Diploma
    class: Interactive Telecommunications IMD412 XA
    Professors to bussy!
    I have a flash web site that I am putting together. I am using AS to load some images from an external source. These images are being loaded into a movieclip. These images need to become buttons once they are loaded. The images will link to the particular menu category pages beef, chicken, etc.
    The images are loading fine they just are not responding like a button or link.
    I am getting two error referencing the buttonMode and usehandCursor. Below is just one image that I am working on till I get it to work.
    I am getting these two Compiler error code:
    1119: Access of possibly undefined property buttonMode through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.
    1119: Access of possibly undefined property useHandCursor through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.
    This is what I have.
    var myLoader01:Loader = new Loader();
    myLoader01.load(new URLRequest("entrees_images/beef/beef01.gif"));
    addChild(myLoader01);
    myLoader01.x = -269;
    myLoader01.y = -164;
    myLoader01.buttonMode = true;
    myLoader01.useHandCursor = true;
    myLoader01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, beefClick);
    function beefClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("beef");
    From me searching online I thought the
    name.buttonMode = true;
    turned the element into a button!
    I have included the fla file. This is in the menuItems_mc which is located in the pageContent_mc frame 40 layer page Image or of course the library.
    I know this is a little in depth sorry and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try something along the following lines:
    var myLoader01:Loader = new Loader();
    function addIt(evt:Event):void{
       var aBtn:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
       aBtn.x = -269;
       aBtn.y = -164;
       aBtn.buttonMode = true;
       addChild(aBtn);
       aBtn.addChild(myLoader01);
       aBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, beefClick);
    myLoader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addIt);
    myLoader01.load(new URLRequest("entrees_images/beef/beef01.gif"));
    function beefClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
       gotoAndStop("beef");

  • Best Practice - load external image including rollovers

    I am attempting to use the loader component to load an
    external jpg, but experience issues having my flash app
    successfully load a roll-over image from an external source when
    the user rolls over the intital jpg. I am not a flash developer
    (actually a .net developer trying to help a graphics guy out).
    I started with the loader component, converted it to a movie
    clip and then utilized the on(rollover) and on(rollout) events to
    change the loader component's contentPath property at runtime via
    ActionScript. I am not getting consistent results with this
    strategy - what is the best way to accomplish this? Also note I
    tried converted to a button, which seemed more logical, but the
    loader component doesn't seem to like being converted to a button.
    Regards,
    Daflookie

    Check out the Loader class in the Components Language
    Reference. Loader
    extends MovieClip, so there's no need to convert to a movie
    clip symbol. In
    addition, I recommend scrapping on() in favor of MovieClip
    events, which
    will probably be closer to your .NET point of view that the
    older
    on/onClipEvent approach to event handling (those are Flash
    5-era).
    Honestly, though, if you simply want to load images, I would
    forego the
    Loader component (no need for all that overhead) and use
    MovieClipLoader to
    load your images into the user's Internet cache. You'll see a
    good handful
    of events under that class listing as well (see the
    ActionScript 2.0
    Language Reference).

    Hi kglad,

  • Load External image

    I'm  trying to load an image for a Photos folder. The photo.swf is in the same file structor as the "photos "folder, using the code below is works great when I open photo.swf and then click the P_002 button. All of this in contained in a folder named "content"
    P_002.onPress = function():Void {
    loadMovie("photos/002.jpg", _root.photo.empty);
    The problem is I have a main menu swf file outside the "Content" folder When I launch the photo.swf form the main menu it will not load the photo.
    I have tried moving the photos folder several places but no help
    I also tried adding content to the path
    P_002.onPress = function():Void {
    loadMovie("content/photos/002.jpg", _root.photo.empty);
    Can someone please help solve this?

    I have tried various version of the path but no luck

    Locally I use the RSVP_admin.swf to launch the program and it works fine
    The f1.swf has the coding in it to view the photos
    Photos_mc.P_001.onPress = function():Void {
    loadMovie("content/photos/001.jpg", _root.photo.empty);

  • Loading External Images

    Hey, I've been having a niggly problem for a while now. I'm
    using MovieClipLoader and a Listener to load in external images.
    All the images load in fine, but often (not always) the onLoadInit
    and onLoadComplete events don't seem to work on the last image I
    load, so if I've got a dynamic text box that I want to disappear
    when loading is complete, it doesn't, only on the last image of a
    group, even tho the image itself loads correctly.
    Anyone come across this before? You can see an example on the
    index page of
    this site.

    nice site, good job :) I would guess that if you are using
    both events on the same call, one is getting triggered before the
    other, since they both operate at a similar time. similar but not
    the same, onLoadComplete happens when the load is complete,
    onLoadInit happens when the first frame of the loaded timeline
    plays. Therefore if your listening for both on the same load call,
    one may happen before the other, and may override or change the
    event sequence, occationally.
    Just a guess though, I think you should consider using one or
    the other, and firing all other functions from there.

  • Load external image and animate?

    This may be a naive question, but -
    What is the best method to draw external content (an image
    file) into a Flash movie, AND then ANIMATE that content?
    I assumed I would need to use the LOADER COMPONENT to draw an
    image file from an external URL, but is there a way to then perform
    a simple animation (e.g., slide the image across the stage) with
    the loaded image? I cannot seem to figure out how to manipulate an
    image once loaded (using the LOADER COMPONENT).
    Yes, I am new to Flash, so there may be six other ways to do
    this of which I am not aware.
    Suggestions/solutions?

    use the MovieClipLoader class to load the image into a holder
    movie clip, then use the onLoadInit function to animate the holder
    clip.

  • Load external image & text into SWF

    Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to create a
    template that will load an external image file,.css styled text
    & a .css style sheet into a .swf by using .xml?
    Thank you for your time.
    CK

    You can use the MovieClipLoader class to load multiple images sequentially (one at a time), but you wouldn't use a 'for' type of loop...instead you would use a recursive loop, where a loading function is called after each load completion until all loading in done.  This is done by utilizing a load-complete listener to trigger loading of the next image.  So you start the loading process by loading one file, when that file is determined to be loaded, the listener proceses that file in whatever way you need to prepared (resizing, etc) and triggers the loading of the next file.
    If you look up the MovieClipLoader.addListener method in the Flash help documents there is an example there that uses the onLoadInit event.  You would be wanting to use the onLoadComplete event.

  • Unable to load external image into iOS app with AS3

    Just trying out Flash Builder for iOS app development and have run into a problem right off the bat with loading an external image into an iOS app.  The actionscript is very simple (this was basically my Hello World attempt), and I'm hoping someone here can explain where I'm going wrong.  This code works in Flash Pro, and works when launched on the desktop from Flash Builder, but doesn't work on my iOS devices.
    Here's the code:
                                  var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
                                  addChild(container);
                                  var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
           imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.google.ca/intl/en_ALL/images/logos/images_logo_lg.gif"));
                                  imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, startListener);
      function startListener (e:Event):void{
                                                 container.addChild(imageLoader);
    Any thoughts on why this won't work would be greatly appreciated!

  • Problem loading external images

    I'm having a problem. I am creating a portfolio section for a

    I have it so that when I click on my portfolio the images
    load externally. The problem comes in where when you click onto
    another section the last portfolio piece stays on screen and
    doesn't go away. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Code is
    attached.

    Thank you for the response.
    But I must admit that I don't understand what you are saying.
    I'm a newbie with actionscript 3 and it is still a bit confusing.
    Could you break it down so that it is easier for me to understand

  • Can not load external Iphoto library to Iphoto

    I was told to update Iphoto this morning I did so, I open Iphoto using the option key to get my external iphoto library but nothing loads, instead I get a screen that looks like I have a new Iphoto with no photos no albums no slideshows etc. I am using yosemite and Iphoto 9.6 I have updated everything.  Although I had problems several months ago when I updated to yosemite Iphoto has been working ok until 2 days ago  Help.  I also tried deleting Iphoto and reloading from purchases with no luck a few minutes ago.

    It's not the application that is having problems  but the library on the EHD.  How is the EHD formatted?  It must be OS X Extended (journaled) for iPhoto to work properly.
    Assuming the drive is formatted properly do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
