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?

How to get images dynamically from database without file paths in the table field

I have a MS-Access database. I am working with ASP.NET. In the database there is product table in which I have "CodeNo" as a field which is a text field, and the product codes like "SM-R-2035". I also have another field "Image" which is also a text field and which have a file path in it corresponding to the particular product Image (e.g. Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg). So far every thing is ok. I have to update this site very frequently and lots of images are added each and every time. Its a tedious work to type the paths and file name every time and it also take a lot of time.
What I am asking is : Is it possible to get images from a specific folder at runtime which is referenced by the "code no" itself and not the file path from the database. (Say at run time the "code no" is referenced from the database and the corresponding image is loaded dynamically from the specified folder). In other word I want to avoid the tedious work of typing.
Can any one help with this issue. Any other simple suggestions are welcome.

All you need to do is simple concatenation to obtain the path for the image file. You didn't mention whether you are using VB.Net, C# or some other language to do your coding.
If the code in your database is SM-R-2035, the file name is SM-R-2035.jpg and the path to the images foilder is Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg, Conceptually here is what you need to do:
dim code_var
dim path_var
code_var = the code you obtain from your relevant field in the database
path_var = "Images\Products\" & code_var & ".jpg"
Now path_var is what you would call to obtain the image from your images folder.

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.

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.

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).

Rendering images dynamically from file server path

Hi,
We are having JDeveloper 11.1.2.4
We have following requirement - Image files are located on server. File locations (path and name) are stored in database table.
We need to dynamically access file locations from database table, access file from server and render it in ADF image component.
Is it possible? If yes, we would really appreciate some pointers/help on how to achieve it.
Please note that we are able to render images dynamically when they are stored in database BLOB column. We can do that using a ImageServlet class. In doGet() method, we are fetching the database BLOB column based on current row id.
Thanks,
Vivek

Here is the scriplet I tried. But it is not redering the image and definitely I am missing something here. Please suggest changes or any direction.
<%
File f = image.getThumbnailFile(); //image file from a bean
ByteArrayOutputStream byteOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(f);
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
int read;
try{
          while ( (read = inputStream.read(bytes)) > -1 )
                  byteOutput.write(bytes, 0, read);
          //byte[] ba = byteOutput.toByteArray();
          ByteArrayInputStream byteInput = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteOutput.toByteArray());
          response.setContentType("image/gif");
          while ( (read = byteInput.read()) > -1 )
               response.getOutputStream().write(read);
          response.getOutputStream().flush();

Bean to load image item from URL?

Can someone point me to a bean that will allow the loading of an image item from a URL?
Cheers,
Gary

Here is the material:

the screen shot is here : http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/forms-pjc-bean/handleimage/getimage.png</p>
<p>Get the jar file and the form module sample (9.0.2)</p>
Notice that you could also download the image with the File_Transfert.URL_To_Client() Webutil function then load it with the Client_Read_Image_File() built-in.

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.

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);

Is it possible to load an swf from MySQL /PHP

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I like to call for different SWF files from a link in a MySQL
database to use in a Detailpage with PHP.
Photos and text are no problem.
The AC code is probably complicating things.
Is it possible? And if so how?
Maybe someone can help me out.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Jos

ye that.s possibe .You just need to have a dummy swf which
check checks for
link and therfore the swf they intend to call and load them .

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....

How to delete a jar file after loading image files from it

Hi,
How can I delete a jar file after some image files have been loaded? For example, say, I have "a.jar" which contains an image "a.gif" in the root directory of the c drive. I would like to get the image size and then delete the jar file. Here is the code snippet:
    URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:\\a.jar!/a.gif");
    Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
    System.out.println("icon size ? " + icon.getIconHeight());
    File file = new File("c:\\a.jar");
    while(file.exists())
        file.delete();
        try
            Thread.sleep(100);
        catch (InterruptedException ignored)
    System.out.println("file deleted.");I get the image size correctly but just can not delete the jar file. Apparently the file handle is not released, but how to close it? Any hint will be appreciated.

I am sure the URLConnection.defaultUseCaches is set before it is connected otherwise I should catch an IllegalStateException on conn.setUseCaches(false).
        try
            URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:\\a.jar!/a.gif");
         URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
         conn.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
         conn.setUseCaches(false);
            Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
            System.out.println("icon size ? " + icon.getIconHeight());
            url.openConnection().getInputStream().close();
            System.gc();
         System.runFinalization();
            File file = new File("c:\\a.jar");
            while (file.exists())
                file.delete();
                try
                    Thread.sleep(10);
                catch (InterruptedException ignored)
            System.out.println("file deleted.");
        catch (Throwable t)

Sandbox error, crossdomain loading Images dynamically

Hi!
I have a following image:
<mx:Image id="listakuva1"
source="images/autoListasivu.jpg"
complete="handleImageComplete(event)" />
And because I have to scroll the image, I have to turn the
smoothing on when complete:
private function handleImageComplete(event: Event): void {
var bitmap: Bitmap = ((event.target as Image).content as
Bitmap);
if (bitmap != null) {
bitmap.smoothing = true;
This works fine. But then I want to change the image when
user does something:
listakuva1.load("new image in another domain via URL");
And it gives me security sandbox error. I googled and I found
that I should put:
checkPolicyFile = true;
to somewhere but I can't figure out WHERE!
The images are still loaded without the warning but the
smoothing-function is not working.
PLS Help.

Hi,
It would be great if you can post a simple sample. I can try
it out on a Mac and let you know.

How? Loading Image seqences from actionscript

Hi,
I need to load about 60 images where hese images are three animation sequences each 20 frames long. The first is the idel sequence which runs constanly until a key is pressed.Once the key is pressed the second animation sequence is run and so on.
As animation now consists of a series of images, I dont know how to load all these images into flash using actionscript and how to run the the animation and switch to different animation when a button is pressed.
Does anybody kno whow to do this?
thanks

You didn't say tidy
Of course you can make it more tidy by removing and adding the sprite on every frame. A movieclip with a timeline in Flash (afaik) does make it this way too - except you don't see the code for it. But I don't know if you have any benefits by removing them compared to make them visible and invisible (for your static graphics).
Or make it real tidy and build a quick animation+loader class which you can use in your main class.

Scaling images dynamically

i'm loading images dynamically. The images that will be
uploaded will very rarely be of the exact same dimensions, so
scaling percent wise doesn't exactly do what I want. I would like
to scale an image up and down to a precise amount of pixels (say,
116(width)*86(height)).

once the image is loaded completely (onLoadInit Event must be
fired if using MovieClipLoader) you can access the size of the
image via the _width and _height properties.
The logic to code would be to check the size of the image and
check if it fits into a virtual bounding box that marks the max
width and height for the images as they should be dispayed.
If one (or both) sides of the image exceeds the maximum
width, calculate the percentage by which you must scale the image
down to fit this sied into the "box". Apply this factor to BOTH the
widht and the height, then check if the other side of the image is
still to big to fit into the box and repeat the downscaling if
needed.
