Flash :: Carousel Image Quality

Spacial Quality/carousel Animation
I'm looking for some code to create a spacial quality like the one on this site:http://inspiration.eight8.jp/

I think it's mouse detect code but I'm not sure what this technique is officially "called".

I'd like to have different objects/pngs kind of float in space and when the user rolls over certain areas, they would move (change coordinates) and also maybe shrink or grow. Nevertheless, kind of using the cursor as the true center to the "carousel" experience.

Any ideas, I would love to hear...

Thanks!

Image Quality Lost, Exported At 100% JPEG Quality
I am working on a Flash website for a design group to display their work. These designs needed to be scaled down to fit the format of the website and many of these designs have body copy with small text. In the FLA file they look ok, but when I export the SWF, the text looks really bad.I know JPEG compression isn't very good for text but even when I export at 100% JPEG quality it still ends up looking different. The text looks very "sparkly" with the thins of the letters have been lost. The original assets that they gave me were all in one photoshop file at 150dpi with one design per layer and some of the text were just slightly pixelated if you zoom in (all text were rasterized and flattened into the designs). Some of the same images supposedly from that file had been used on their previous site with no problem. On some of the images in the PSD I can see that some of the thin strokes in the letters had been lost a little from scaling the designs down. This has been really frustrating and I can't think of how to rememdy this problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

-Sorry I did not realize that someone had already asked the smae type of question. I am trying the suggestions from the other thread.

Poor Image Quality If Image Not In 1st Frame?
All,
I am working on a small movie moving around some images.
Everything was fine until I added a pre-loader and all the sudden the images look very jaggy, all of them.

From my testing it seems rotated images in a 1 frame movie look fine, additional frames make them look all jaggy.

Anyone else know whats going on?

thanks,

AS3 Image Carousel
Hi I am trying to replicate the an image carousel like the one on nissanusa.com.

I have created a movie(image1) with five layers containing the images.

and given them instance names ClipA, ClipB, etc.

I then moved ClipA from the top layer to below ClipB but then the listeners dont catch any mose roll over.

Any Ideas?

Is there a way to dynamically move them up or down layers?

image1.clipA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,overFunction1);
image1.clipA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,outFunction1);

image1.clipB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,overFunction2);
image1.clipB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,outFunction1);

function overFunction1(obj:Object) {
trace ("on roll called");
display_txt.text = "CLIP A";
bgdark.visible = true;
image1.stop();
image1.clipA.gotoAndStop(10);
image1.clipB.gotoAndStop(20);
image1.clipC.gotoAndStop(20);
image1.clipD.gotoAndStop(20);
image1.clipE.gotoAndStop(20);
}

Thanks

Anyone Know Any Image Carousel Tutorial?
Hi,

I'm looking for an image carousel (rotating like those found in carnival rides) done in Flash5. Preferably horizontally rotating and customizable...

Anyone seen one lately? Somewhat looks like this except this one is done with java applets and is more like a ferris wheel rather than a carousel.

Thanks!

I Need An Image Carousel, Scroller Like This One...
Hi there,

Im looking to build a scrolling image carousel like the one shown here

http://www.nikoleramsay.com/

The requirements are:
The images must be loaded in individually to reduce preload time.
For it to be scrolling.
To have a dragable bar
To remain 100% width in any browser.

Does any know of a script, a site, a tutorial that might help me complete this? Doesn’t have to be a free script, i don’t mind paying for this.

To be honest, any help in the right direction would be fantastically helpful here.

A Static Image To 3D Carousel
I did the fantastic 3D carousel tutorial and got it working properly. I'd like to put a statis picture in the middle of the carousel though, something that the items revolve around, so I'd need the items to go behind the image somehow. I imagine this can be accomplished by a mask but I have no idea how to mask the dynamically created items and now they just move on top of the middle image. Can someone help me with this?

Carousel Tut. Image Instead Of Text

Carousel - Foreground Image
What would be the best way to overlay an image on the carousel script. I'm trying to make the icons in the rear pass behind the overlayed image.

Here's an example of what's happening now when I simply place the image on it's own layer.

Bug In The Attached Carousel Image Gallery
I need to fix the bug in a carousel based image gallery. I tried to figure it out but I couldn't.
Can anybody help me in this. I would be glad if somebody can explain what's going on in the action script

Carousel Image Gallery Scale
I finished my first design in flsh 8 using autoscript. It is a carousel gallery of 14 images rotating around.
I am very new to this area but i hava a knowledge on programming language.
What i want is when an image comes in the center of the monitor to scale
automatically, stay at the max scale for around 2 secs then scale back to its original size.
when an image is in the proccess of scaling, the other images should stop and wait until the image gets its original size.
actually the proccess goes like that:
1st image in screen center - scale for 2 secs - remain at max size for 2 sec - scale back to original size - carousel rotation -
2nd image - scale.....and so on
Actually what i am lookin for is in url http://www.greekmilitary.net/
I would be very gratefull if anyone can supply me with an appropriate actionscript code or any reference tutorials on this

Best Practices - Flash Image Carousel
When creating an image Carousel in flash for a web page, what are the best practices for loading quickly and changing images?

So for instance, on an ecommerce site, the home page often has a block created in flash in which 4-6 images are included with arrows or image numbers are displayed at the bottom as buttons. The images automatically change to the next ever x seconds unless the user selects an image number or the forward/back arrows.

Obviously, smaller the image the better. But how about best practices for things like:

Do you include one image in the block and then load dynamically the other images? Should all images be dynamically loaded if you want to change them on a daily/weekly basis? Any suggestions for making sure the images, especially the first one is loaded quickly?

Anyone have sample ~gpl code that demonstrates a block like this?

Two examples - kohls.com, jcrew.com

Image In Center Of Carousel Menu?
Hi, I recently built myself a carousel menu that works well, and was just wondering if it was possible to place a movieclip at it's center? the problem i've been having is that the icons at the back still seem to display overtop of the central movie clip, is there perhaps some way to set the depth of the movie clip I want in the center, so that the icons in front pass in front of the movie clip while the ones in back pass behind?

sorry if this is a bit confusing, i've been up all night trying to figure this out =/

thx in adv.

Carousel - Image Instead Of Text Upon ROLLOVER
I watched all 3 Carousel tutorials but can not figure out how to use an image instead of dynamic text for the rollover bubble that appears above each icon. I found a few threads on this forum with similar questions but none were answered.

Image Quality On Scaling Image
I am trying to scale a image that i made in fireworks. When I scale this the outer shell of the picture gets pixalated. Is there a way to fix this? http://www.hazsoft.com/final.htm I'm a newbie to flash, but catching on pretty quick. Only problem I have came across is with scaling images. I have the publishing jpeg quality at 100% and I have smoothing turned off in the properties of the image and the quality all the way up. I have turned smoothing on as well and not much happened. Thanks for your help in advance.

How Can I Load An External Image Using This Carousel Code
I found this beautiful carousel ported to actionscript 3.0.
http://board.flashkit.com/board/atta...7&d=1188450564

How can I change the code so I can click one of the carousel images and have it load the companion large image located in a different folder into a movieclip on stage.

I am a newbie to AS3 and struggling to learn how to do things.

Hopefully, someday I will be smart enough to contribute to the forum with intelligent submissions.

Can't Find A Simple Image Rotator Tutorial (not Carousel)
Hi,

I need to make a simple movie that rotates through images/swfs, in order, and has a small navigation to select any of the images in the rotator. Probably will only contain 3 - 6 images/swfs at a time. I have come across many pre-made flash image rotators, but I need something a bit more open that I can customize to my liking. I'm not necessarily looking for ease of use or automated. I know enough AS that I understand it, I just need help writing it sometimes. Kinda like when you can read a language, but you're not fluent in writing it. Anyway, I'm not asking for someone to write AS for me, but if anyone has something already on hand that they don't mind sharing or if you know of a tutorial that may help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi there all, I am not new to web design, but i am new to flash use. I have flash mx, I am creating a navigation for my new website... I have no problem creating the animations, adding sounds and the like it all seems pretty straight forward. What I do have a issue with is the quality of the final exported movie. It seems to look fine in flash while i am editing but as soon as i export, the text and all looks enlongated and very ugly.

I am using a jpeg as a background i a made in photoshop using pixel fonts and rectangles.

It looks very crisp and clean in photoshop and even in flash but as i said once exported it looks like crap. Please give me a hint or tell me a good way to prevent this...

Thanks for your time.

I notice that with a one frame movie image quality is good, but when I say, move the image out to frame 3 and test the movie the quality
is severely degraded. Why would this be?

Hey all - I am working with Flash MX, and I am curious... Everytime I have an image in Flash, the quality is very poor... I have all of the settings to the highest. No matter what though - they still come out in poor quality... Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I noticed something when I make an image to import into Flash in Photoshop. The image will be all messy (edges are messed up and things of that nature). How can I rectify this? A lot of stuff I wanna do to images (like filters, for example) can only be done in Photoshop.

I am having problems with image quality in my swf file. I import the jpg., convert to graphic symbol, and rotate the image by 10 degrees. I set quality to best and jpeg compression to 100. When I publish the swf file, the images look horrible. I am working on a mac with flash mx. If I right click on the swf file during play mode, or during testing, and select quality - high, even though high is already selected, it fixes the problem. If I follow the same import steps and not rotate the image, the quality looks fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

I've noticed something strange in Flash, and I'm wondering what everyone else has to say about it. Let's say I have a movie, and on the root level I have a picture that moves from left to right over some number of frames. I've found that if I play the movie as-is, the movement is jerky. However, if I place the movie inside another movie that is only one frame repeating, the movement is much smoother.

Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone explain more around why this happens?

Thanks!

Hi-
I'm getting back into Flash. I need some brush-up on images: I need to bring in an image (created in Illustrator) to my Flash library, then place it in my movie. When I've tried this, the image becomes pixelated...even if I resize it in Illustrator first. Any suggestions? Do I save it out as a PNG maybe? Thanks.

[F8] Image Quality
I have an image of resolution 1280 x 1024 and I want to reduce it to about 639 x 510. The image has a fair bit of text (it is a screenshot from a event program) and when it is shrunk, the text is unreadable. If I do the same thing in powerpoint, the image looks fine, but if I then copy it across to flash, it looks really bad again. Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

Cheers

I have a logo on the top left corner of a flash movie, this logo doesn't move at all. However, other part of the movie (which are layered ontop of this base layer) have motion tweens.

The quality of the .jpg logo is poor for this .swf even when exported with the quality set too 100%.

Any Ideas, is there anything in particular you have to do to maintain .jpg quality when tweening other objects?

Image Quality
Hello all,

I am having real problems including images in my website.

It seems that whatever I do, the image appears blocky and looks awful when displayed in Flash.

Can anybody offer a bit of advice?

- What filetype should I use for the image?
- Am I right to use
Code:
loadMovie("pic1.jpg", "holder_mc");
to load the image or should I import all images to the library? I am obviously trying to keep the file size to a minimum.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

David

Image Quality (PNB,JPG,..)
What's up, hope y'all doing good.

My problem. www.55-studio.com is my web site, and I imported PNG and JPG images on the flash file. If i view the site on my desktop computer, then everything looks fine and there is a good image quality.

BUT last weekend I've viewed it on a laptop. The PNG alpha area was kinda visible and also the images were in a bad quality.

I know it's the "color" setting of the screen of the Laptop BUT is there any kinda to fix that?

Like Using Vector Images, or using a different software for the images?

I use Photoshop 7.0 for images.

Thanks

Hey Team,

I'm wanted to ask a question. In regards to Image Quality I see on some flash sites, the pictures are so clear and crisp. Is there something else needed to add to make them crisp? I undersand using a digital camera with high mexapixel is a must, and photoshop right? But my question is what else should be done to optimize them? What megapixel camera is a must and what steps do you use to get your shots so Crisp and Tight? one site i see where the pictures are so smooth is below. I take this is an Html and Flash site, not Flash 100%.. I need to optimize my shots to be as clear.
