Loading external png

Could someone show me a sample script of how to load several external png images in to a movieclip using a click action.
E.g.
IMAGE 1 should appear in present_mc when PARI_BTN is clicked
IMAGE 2 should appear in present_mc when LOND_BTN is clicked.
IMAGE 3 should appear in present_mc when newy_BTN is clicked.
so on...

If you look into the Loader class in the help documents, there are examples there as well as explanations of all the properties and methods. A basic set of code for what you want to do would be something like:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var url:String = "yourimage.png";
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
ldr.load(urlReq);
present_mc.addChild(ldr);
You will probably find several explanations in this forum as well if you do a little searching.

Loading external png with transperancy

Hi,
Im trying to create an as3.0 navigation with a few buttons.
Each button is a png image.
When im importing images to the stage i dont have any transperancy issues but the problem is that they are not smooth enough, especially
because im animating them using TweenLite.
I thought that the only way to do it properly is to load all the images using as3 into bitmap objects and then use the smoothing property.
The problem is that everytime that i assign the png to a bitmap object i lose the transperancy information and i get a white background...
Anyone knows how can i keep the transperancy information from the png onto the bitmap object ?
Thanks

Here's a bit of code that loads a png with transparency, smooths it, and places it on stage.
var a:Loader = new Loader();
a.load(new URLRequest("spider.png"));
a.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
function done(e:Event){
    var bit:Bitmap = e.target.content;
    if(bit != null){
        bit.smoothing = true;
    addChild(bit);

Hi, I'm not sure you are on the correct forum. This is the Flash Player forum. When you first open your thread, look to your right "More like This" and perhaps one of those forums would be helpful. Perhaps the Flash forum?

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 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);

Loading external swf (no code)

Hello
i have a strange issue since update of my app for ios 8: my app is loading external swf (doesnt containing code, its just pdf converted to swf using swftools)
while its working ok when debugging on device, these external swf don't show up since the app have been accepted on itunes. And i dont have any error message
what i don't understand is why it's working good with the debug version and not the production version. they are supposed to be exactly the same, and i don't see why it would be a crossdomain or applicationdomain issue. Did somebody experienced the same problem ?
the thing is its a bit hard to debug, as the prod version isnt firing any message, and the debug version is just fine...:/
thanks !

i missed the "proloader" part...is it now mandatory to user proloader if loading external swf assets ? is it a normal behavior that the swf can be loaded with the debug version, and not the shop version ?
thanks for your help. by the way, i'm making a small video to show you the problem,as i'm not 100% sure you understand it in my case

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.

    addChild(ldr);
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.
Thanks

How to load external subtitles in mov files (in QT)?

Hi everybody,
When I play an avi file, QT is able to load external subtitles (I've Perian installed). However, this week, I downloaded a file from apple, saved it as a mov file and created a subtitle file for it. Then, I put both files in the same directory and used the same name for them (one .mov and the other .srt). When I play it (with QT), the subtitle file doesn't load. Does anybody know what is happening? Is is a problem with mov files? Or is it a problem with files downloaded from apple (some kind of lock?!)?
Thanks

As3 loaded external jpgs

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

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

FAQ: SWF's and loading external files in Flash Catalyst

How do I make the images in my Flash Catalyst project external to the published SWF?
You can choose whether images are embedded in your Flash Catalyst SWF, or loaded dynamically; this can help to keep your SWF's small. Simply right-click an image and chose "Externalize Image".
Answered by: Adam Cath.
See entire discussion.
How do I make the SWF I imported to Flash Catalyst load external files?
When importing a SWF, Flash Catalyst only pulls the SWF asset into your project. Many SWF's, such as slideshows and media players, rely on external data files, such as configuration files or media assets. If you would like to use such a SWF in Catalyst, then you will have to place these external resources into your Catalyst project as well as importing the SWF.
Let's assume you have a SWF source folder that contains your SWF file and all of the external files it needs. You can open the SWF file from this folder and it works fine. But, if you import the SWF into Catalyst, the Catalyst project doesn't display it correctly because it can't load the external files. Here's what you do:
1. Open your swf source folder, and copy all of the files/folders there except the SWF you imported.
2. In Catalyst, Run/Preview your project (Ctl/Cmd-Enter)
2. Note the file path to Main.html in your browser
3. In your OS, open the folder that contains /bin-debug/Main.html from above
4. Open the "src" folder
5. Paste all of the files from step 1 into the src folder.
6. Catalyst won't pick up that your project changed, so tweak it a bit (add a Rectangle), and save it.
7. Run your project. If it doesn't work, try closing and reopening your project and running again.
For an example, check out: Using an XML-driven SWF in Catalyst to create a slideshow.
See entire discussion.
Answered by: Bear Travis

You can make you swf a custom component with 2 states.
The first state will be empty and rename it "OFF" the second state will have your swf file and name it ON.
Then go back to your artboard/project, add your 2 buttons ON & OFF.
For the ON button add interaction "play transition to custom component ON"
For the OFF button add interaction "play transition to custom component OFF"
Here is an example swf_control

Load external data into se-main-menu

hi,
i've tried to load external data (vars,files)into a selfmade
sony-ericsson-flash-menu for the w810i.
it is possible to load the data for the current active menu
via loadVariablesNum("application://focused", 0);
so i thought i could load some other stuff into the mainmenu.
i tried to load an swf with loadMovie/loadMovieNum.
i tried to load vars from a txt-file with
loadVariables/loadVariablesNum.
and i tried to open a webadress with getURL.
but nothing happens ... :(
the files (swf,txt) are in the same folder like the
mainMenu.(tpa\preset\system\desktop\flash)
maybe the w810 does not execute the swf in the same folder
where it is at the moment?!
is it possible to figure out where the swf is executed?
the _url command is not supported by flash-lite-1.x ...
some ideas?

Using Flashvars to load external mp3 files

I am trying to find a very good step by step tutorial on using "Flashvars" to load external mp3 files, I have been searching on google and the many I have found fall short in some way or another. From what I have been able to gather, I have tried using the code in red (commented out), which works, and modify it to use "Flashvars". The code that works, the mp3 file is hard coded, but my goal is to use "Flashvars" which I am attempting to do in the code following the code in red. I am also including the html code. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Ok waterlovinguy,
I went back to my original code, and I got things to work... I think my whole issue was with the HTML CODE. So I decided to use the "SWFObject generator". I had never used it before, frankly I had never heard of it until I started my searches on "Flashvars".
Thank you very much for all your assistance, PEACE,
David
Final Codes below
var my_var:String = new String();
my_var = root.loaderInfo.parameters.myflashvar;
myText.text = my_var;
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.audio);
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var soundControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel;
sound.load(soundReq);
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSound);
function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void
    SoundMixer.stopAll();
    soundControl = sound.play();
function stopSound(event:MouseEvent):void
    soundControl.stop();
