[CS3] Dual Image Loaders


I have two loader components, each with their own preloader bar, loading image slideshows from separate xml files. I've got the slideshows to work, but only the first loader component preloader bar works. Also, I've tried to add an Alpha fade transition to the onEnterFrame event, but I'm not getting the syntax correct. I've attached a zip file of the project. If anyone knows the correct way to implement this, I will greatly appreciate your comments. Thanks!

Dual Combo Boxes To Display One Image
I have a project where you have choices in 2 different combo boxes to show a final jpg. Here is a link to a sample.

Scrollers And Image Loaders (Flash MX)
good day to you all,

i have been stuck on a problem for a couple of days, which is as follows.

I am trying to use an Non-Button Scroller(as used in Adam Lems example on this site) in conjuction with the load images sample that comes with MX. I want the scroller images to be used as buttons to select the image in the loader. I have tried every piece of code i know to get the buttons (thumnails) in the scroller to change the images in the main loader.Could anyone tell me whether this idea is possable and how i might go about it.

Thanks for any ideas.

Any ideas on the creation of the loader for the files, I can create a loader for a swf but to create one that works for a dynamicly loaded jpeg it another thing that I'm not really sure where to start.

Problems With Flash Image Loaders
I was interested in seeing if anyone could help me with a problem I have with a flash image loader.

I am using flash to display news information for a sporting club through the use of xml. Now attached in the xml file is a link to an external image (located somewhere on the web - the entire URL is present) which I have used an image loader to load it into. These images (which are 348*196 pixels normally) are reduced to a smaller size by the image loader (90*51.9 pixels), and then when the button above it is clicked, the image is then loaded into a larger image loader at its original size. I have 6 of these smaller image loaders, each with a different picture.

Now occasionally (and more frequently on the user end) some of the images for the smaller image loader's are not reduced, and appear as their normal large size and tend to sit on top of one another. However, when the page is refreshed, no problems occur, and all the images appear as they should.

The scaleContent parameter of the image loader is set to true so i have no idea of why this is happening. Would it be to do with the loading of the images into the flash file, or is it something to do with how I am doing it.

Are you able to help?

Below is the code to print the information to the flash file. If you are able to help i would really appreciate this. I am able to provide more information if necessary.

Preloaders With Dynamic Image Loaders.
I am pretty new to flash and actionscript so pardon my syntax and logic.

I am trying to create a flash movie that will preload a dynamic number of images and fade them in and out. Sounds easy enough.... However I cannot get the preloader to work.

Frame 1:
I have a flash movie that goes out with the loadvars function to get a dynamic number of paths for images from an asp page.

The asp page returns the variable maximages to tell how many images will be loaded and then imagepathx x being 1 - maximages.

From there a string array is created to store the imagepaths and the appropriate number of loader controls are initiated and defined.

imagepath = new Array();
for (var i = 1; i<=MyPicVars.maximages; i++)
{
createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader,"loader"+i,i, {_width:380 ,_height:275,_x:0,_y:0});
imagepath[i] = "http://intranet/testsite/splashpics/"+eval("MyPicVars.imagepath"+i);
eval("loader"+i).contentPath=imagepath[i];
eval("loader"+i)._alpha=0;
}

Frame 2:
Frame 2 starts the actual preloader scripting.
Most simple preloaders I've seen use the getBytesTotal and getBytesLoaded functions. However, this doesn't include the loader controls I just put images into.

So I've tried to define a variable to hold the max bytes for all the loader controls as I set the .contentPath. However, when I set it there the bytes are undefined. It's not until a few seconds (maybe 2-3 frames) that I can get the bytes. What is the best method of working around this? With the bytes I can then calculate the percentage loaded and update the loader bar as well.

The fla can be downloaded here.

Thanks!
-Dave-

[FLASH 8] Image Loaders In Loaded Movies
Hello. Long time listener, first time caller...

Got a site in development at:

http://www.anman.net/tpi/tpi_flash_site2.html

(p.s. it wasn't my idea to have an intro movie...)

Anyway, if you click on "events&entertainment" a new movie is loaded on lvl 53. It's a thumbnailed image gallery that loads external images into an empty movie clip. Works great! The progressBar shows the proper info and disappears when the image is loaded.


That's not the problem.

Now, click on "corporatecommunications". It loads a movie in lvl 54, unloads lvl 53 - the gallery is the same code, but it doesn't work!!!!

It's driving me up the wall.

Reload the site and click on "corporatecommunications". Works great! Now, click "events&entertainment". Doesn't work!

Here is the code for the "events&entertainment" movie gallery functionality. The "corporatecommunications" galley uses the same code, but replaces the "ee" with "cc" in the variable, functions, etc...

If you look at the swf's individually, they work fine!

http://www.anman.net/tpi/tpi_cc2.swf
http://www.anman.net/tpi/tpi_eande2.swf
http://www.anman.net/tpi/tpi_au.swf



Code:
// Create a variable to hold the image location information

var imageNowee:String;
imageNowee = "images/toby06a.jpg";

// Function to make sure 'iHoldee' (the empty movie clip) is sized properly

iHoldee.loadMovie("images/toby06a.jpg");

// Load initial image into 'iHoldee'

iHoldee.loadMovie("images/toby06a.jpg");

//-----------------------------------------------------------------

/*Each button contains a function. This is one of them. The rest are the same except for the image name. The function checks to see if the current image is the same one as the button calls for. It does this via the 'imageNowee' variable. If it is different, the progressBar 'pBaree' is set to polled and visible and the image is loaded. Then the variable 'imageNowee' variable is set. */


eePicGrid.butnA.onRelease = function() {
if (imageNowee != "images/toby06a.jpg") {
iHoldeeSize();
pBaree.mode = "polled";
pBaree._visible = true;
iHoldee.loadMovie("images/toby06a.jpg");
imageNowee = "images/toby06a.jpg";
}
};

//-----------------------------------------------------------------

/* Event listener stuff I'm not terribly familiar with. Basically as I understand it, this checks the progressBar to see if an image is finished loading, sets the progressBar to 0, and makes it invisible. */

pBareeListener = new Object();
pBareeListener = function (eeeventObject) {
pBaree.mode = "manual";
pBaree.setProgress(0, 100);
pBaree._visible = false;
iHoldeeSize();
};
pBaree.addEventListener("complete", pBareeListener);
stop();

Any help would be...
...helpful.

thanks!

Array Of Movie Loaders/array Of Image Files
Alright. I'm fairly new to Actionscripting, so if we can somewhat lame out the tech talk to mild to medium I'd appreciate it. what I am trying to do is create an swf movie that will interact with a PHP script. first lets start with saying the PHP script reads the directory that it is currently in and filters out any file that is not a GIF,PNG, or JPG and then it suffes all of this into a URL encoded string and the directory path ,such as :

?pictures=image1+image2+image3+image4&path=http://servername/directoryPath

now i have flash load the variables "pictures" and split the images and stuff those into an array and the directory path of course stays in its own seperate variable. ive gotten this far with no problems.

so what im trying to do now with this info is create a bit of a slide show. I want to take the array of pictures and load those into an empty movie clip displaying each picture consecutively. Ive made several attempts but no such luck. Ive tried to use a for() loop to cycle through the array of pictures loading them into the empty clip. im still very new and rather lost with these objects and class use i. Im sure im probably not using a listener of somesort that i need and what not. I am sorry i am probably not giving enough info for all this. the whole idea of this clip is to be able to display an indefinite amount pictures , so the flash player will not know ahead of time how many pictures till the php script has sent all the names of what is in the directory. this movie needs to be able to dynamically load any images that are in that directory.so any suggestions on what i can do with an array an an empty clip? thank you to anyone who can make suggesions.

Dual Action?
I have a quasi-background selector and I would like to show a "preview" in a window before final selection. My question I think would be: How do you assign a double-action variable? In other words, ie, load the same variable in two different movie clips at the same time? Hard to explain, hope you understand. It's actually the same MC, just different paths.

I guess another example would be:

loadmovie(thisMC AND thatMC) - emulation of sorts

Am I asking too much? Thanks.

Dual Instances...
Is it possible to have different symbols with the same instance name? I'm working on a game(I'm using Flash 5, by the way), and for the physics engine I want to have multiple symbols for the ground, but want it all under one category(as opposed to writing the same code with each separate symbol. Is that possible? I suppose I could put the parts that have the same code in one symbol, and have the others in a different symbol, but I'd like to know if this is possible first. I've tried it, but the code only changed one symbol. Maybe an instance name isn't even what I should be doing, I'm not sure. Thank you, I'm relatively new to ActionScript and need some help.

Dual MC Problem
i;m making a gallery for a friend, and i have one movie clip that loads a 600x520 background into (randomly). below that, i have a 600x80 movie clip in which a picture strip is loaded (scripted mask photo gallery consisiting of 8 thumbnails). now i have multiple picture strips, so that's why i went with a movie clip loader. but for each of the thumbnails i have a tweened alpha animation of text appearing above the buttons. so whnever you pass over one of the 8 thumbnails, a description appears above it. unfortunately, i did the descriptions before i realized that i needed to include more than 8 pictures. since the overall gallery is 600x600, i ma having layering problems: i can either have the background MC on top, but the descriptions won't be viewable. or i can have the picture strip MC on top, but then i have a plain background. is there anywhere to salvage this?

i would post up an example of what i'm talking about, but i don't know anywhere to freely host a 2mb .rar archive.

Dual Monitor SWF?
Hey Guys

I am creating an app that reads from a database of song lyrics. What I want to be able to do is to display the selected song lyrics on second display on its own. I should state that I plan to compile this, most likely, using ZINC as a desktop application.

Is there anyway to feed that data into an empty movie that is displayed on the second screen?

Also does anyone know if there are any alternatives to MDM zinc?

Dual Monitor Presentation
I have to make a presentation/game show in two languages to play over two seperate plasma screens.

What i'm thinking is creating two .swf files that will play full screen as popups. The interaction will be controlled via a master movie.

the interaction is pretty simple, all the user needs to be able to do is control movment to and fro between frame labels on the .swf movies from the master clip.

Only question is, how do you do this? How do you target a popup .swf files and can you control two simultaneously...also we've only got flash MX (not 2004)

or is there a better way to do it?

Cheers very much and there's a pint in it...!

I use dual monitors and have for a while now. In flash mx2004 i was able to put all my panels on the right side monitor and have everything on the left, only thing thta was messed up was if i put the timeline on the right monitor it didnt show up when i reloaded flash but it was ok i just pressed ctrl+alt+t and it showed up in its rightful place.

now in flash 8 i set it up the same way and ironically the timeline is the only thing that shows up where it should (on the right monitor) while everything else loads up on the left monitor and i have to move it everytime i open flash. anyone have this happen to them or know a remedy for it? thanks.

Flash And Dual Monitors
I'm about to buy either a 20" or 24" iMac and am wondering how well Flash works with multiple monitors under OS X. I'm coming from Windows so I really don't know what I'm getting into. My 2nd monitor is a 17" so I'll obviously be running different resolutions on the monitors. Any issues with that? If there are problems with 20" + 17" monitors, I might just got with a 24" iMac and ditch the second display.

Thanks a lot!

Erik

Dual Combobox Advice
Hello All, I wonder if anybdy could help me greatly with some scrpit which will enable the following; ?

I would like to create two comboboxes and a GO button. The user should choose 1 selection from each drop down in the combobox and then press GO. The specific combination he chooses will determine which page he is then directed to. This will help condense my navigation a great deal, as I have a large number of combinations to choose from in each box. (around 10 in each).

Does anyone know of any script which could perform this function? Sadly the literature I have been reading just stops short of explaining it.

Any help or direction is appreciated,

Thanks
Andy

Dual Processor And Flash 8
I am about to upgrade my home laptop and I am wondering how Flash 8 works on a dual processor windows machine?

Does Flash CS3 work better than Flash 8 ?

Are there advantages of upgrading to Flash CS3 if you have a dual processor machine?

How does Flash CS3 work on dual processor intel Macs and the new OS?

I am debating on whether to get a Mac.

Button With Dual Jobs
I am making a criss cross word puzzle. Of course the letters run vertical as well as horizontal. If the user clicked once on their intended letter, it would turn blue (or whatever color I choose). Then they'd move to the next letter. If they found out the letter(s) they clicked on were not the correct ones or the ones they wanted, they would click the letter again and it would return to it's natural or starting color.
My theory was to make each letter a button. And in the AS write that the first click turns the letter blue (or whatever color I want) and the next click turns it back to the original color.
I started by making a letter into a button.
I added this AS:
on (release) {
}

Where do I go from here?

Dual Action On Buttons
I used this code in a button:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("primero");
_root.navegador.gotoAndPlay("start");
}


the button when released has to play the label "primero"
and then go to the root, find a clip called "navegador" and play the label start.

flash tells me the script has no errors, but he button does not work.

any ideas?????

Fullscreen In Dual Monitors
Hey guys, I need help urgently!!

I have a dual monitor setup. It works perfectly, both are 1024 x 768... I have a flash file with this code:


Code:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
The swf file do opens fullscreen but not in the monitor I want it to open. If I want it to open in the second monitor, how can I fix this?!!! Is there any code that will help me?

The only possible way is dragging the big window to the second monitor and then I'll have the annoying blue bars in the top and bottom.

Help!!!! please

Dual Monitor Interaction
I've got two flash files that talk with each other, one on a monitor, the other on a projector (or secondary monitor). Activity on the primary monitor are not seen on the secondary.

I currently use the dual monitor settings "Dual" or "horizontal span", with the secondary flash window sitting off screen so it shows on the projector. Monitor settings change frequently from Dual to clone etc which effect this temporary setup.

I would prefer to use video overlay but this is not available in Flash. A great work around is using a Quicktime movie which is picked up by video overlay but Quicktime only supports up to Flash 5 which doesn't help with flv.

Is there an alternative to Quicktime or an app that can send a video overlay signal to a secondary monitor with a flash file embedded? Further to this, are there known steps to setup an app that can embed Video (mov, avi/wmv), DVD Video, Powerpoint and Flash that can output an overlay?

(Sorry for the rant! This is my first post.)

Dual Scroller Compatability
Hello,

I've attached a file in which I am trying to get two of the same scrollers to work independently of each other. I have changed both movie clip names and instance names with no success. Each scroller works fine on it's own but when put in the same file one attempts to control the other.

My appologies if this is plain simple, but I am beating my head against a wall at this point.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards, Jason.
