Loaded External Image Question: Use Default Image If Loaded Image Not Found?
Hello,

I use the following code to load an external logo into a Flash Movie.

Quote:

var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(logoPath);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(myRequest);
holder_mc.addChild(loader);

What if the logo file is not find? I wish that if the logo is not found, another default logo will be used, i.e.

if (logoPath is here) {
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(logoPath);
} else (logoPath is not here) {
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("defaultlogo.png");
}

How can I do that?

Thanks and best regards

Alex

Loading External Image > Image Appears Invisible
Hé,

I'm not posting here very much, so hi to anyone new.
I tried search for a solution to my problem, but I couldn't find one.

I'm using a button to load an external image:

code: on (Release) {
_root.temp.loadMovie("img.jpg");
}

Don't worry, both img.jpg and _root.temp (a box-shaped MC) excist.

When I press the button, _root.temp should be swaped by the image. Instead, it disappears, but no image appear. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong! I'm using Flash MX btw.

Here are my files:

Image Grid With External Image
Hi I'm using Flash 8 and AS 2.

I'm trying to make a watermark grid for an image viewer I'm working on. So far I've managed to load an external image (in this case a .png file) into multiple containers and put it into a 5 wide by 4 tall grid based on the image and stage size.

My code works, but it is a bit bulky and tedious, and will get worse if I ever want to use a smaller image with a larger grid.

Is there a way for me to simplify my code (so I don't have to copy tons of code for each line of images) so I can load the external .png, and then just modify numbers of rows and columns for the grid, as well as the image size in pixels of the images?

I'd also like the grid to start with the .png image centered on the stage and duplicating out from there.

I've attached the Flash file and the .png file for you to look at.

Here is the code I'm currently using (yes i know it's bulky, that's why I'm asking for a simpler suggestion

-------------------------------------
/////First Row 1-5/////
createEmptyMovieClip("container1",1);
container1._x=0
container1._y=0
container1.loadMovie("watermark_2.png");

createEmptyMovieClip("container2",2);
container2._x=110
container2._y=0
container2.loadMovie("watermark_2.png");

createEmptyMovieClip("container3",3);
container3._x=220
container3._y=0
container3.loadMovie("watermark_2.png");

createEmptyMovieClip("container4",4);
container4._x=330
container4._y=0
container4.loadMovie("watermark_2.png");

createEmptyMovieClip("container5",5);
container5._x=440
container5._y=0
container5.loadMovie("watermark_2.png");
/////This code repeats for 2nd, 3rd and 4th Rows ---- there are 20 images in this grid/////
-------------------------------------

Thanks!

Hi,

I followed a tutorial for adding an external image to my swf. The tutorial had me create an empty mc, and then create another mc that was to be the frame for the image. I then added the empty mc into that frame mc, which all worked fine.

I placed my actionscript for loading the external image against a button click even which loaded my external image. I have two questions about this, first can I add a fade effect to so when the external image loads it fades in, then out again when another click even happens from loading a different image.

Second, my image that I loaded into the mc is a jpg that looks crisp when viewed in photoshop but in the flash movie it looks terrible. Very blurry and somewhat pixeled looking.

Thanks.

Loading External Image N2 MCs
Can we call an external .jpg or .gif into an 'empty' movie clip of a Flash movie?

Just got a call from a guy who wants me to call an external image into a premade Flash template which contains an imported image which will be overlayed.

I don't hava all the details, but it's like this. The Flash template is a mailbox overlay of like tole painting or some crap like that.

He wants to be able to have a folder in which a customer submits the image of his/her mailbox, it drops into a folder and is immediately read, via loadvariables (of some sort) and the customer can see what a beautiful mailbox it would be with the elfen paintings on it, via the overlay template.

I know how to bring in text and .swf movies, but I'm not having much luck bringing in straight up .jpg or .gif images per loadvariable.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

External Image Problems
Hey Peoples,

I really am in a bind here. I am attempting to load an image called "wedthumb.jpg" into my thumbnail gallery part, and then w/ a hidden button when u roll over it loads the image (wed1.jpg) into a bigger window on the right hand side of all the thumbnails. It seems to be laoding my small image fine. But my problem is gettting the images to load up the same size as the movie size. I have tried to mask but that just loads it all and just shows me some of the picture. Also, it seems when I do a rollover it will work once and then not work again if I roll over it again. I am really lost on this.

So my questions are:

How do you make an external image resize itself for the movie when it loads?

Also, when I do my rollover of my hidden button it will load the image but I have it unloading if you roll off the image, however when I roll back on the image it will not load it again. Why is this?

Much Karma to anyone who helps me on this bind!

Thanks,
Andy

External Swf (Image Gallery)
Hi,

I'm building my first flash site with flash mx, I've downloaded an image gallery from this website. What I'm trying to do is to load this gallery external into my main movie. I used loadMovieNum and a level (in action script of button) to load the image gallery into a point in the timeline. When I click the button the Image gallery is loaded, and my thumbs show up fine, the whole interface and the position are fine as well.

To see a picture in the gallery you will have to drag a thumb into a box and drop it. The jpeg file is displayed in the box as a result. And thats where I have the problems, the jpegs wont show. When I test the (image gallery) swf independent, it works fine. The reason for loading this swf external is a file size issue.

I used the following script for the button:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("gallery.swf",5);
}

I took a peek at the (complex) script from the gallery, and I think the following line is responsable for loading the jpegs:

bildansicht_mc.container_mc.loadMovie(bilderordner +shooting_cb.getValue()+"/"+bild);

Can anyone help me
Thanx in advance

Loading External Image In MC Only Once
I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to help me out.

I'm trying to load an external image into a placeholder inside a MC that reloads everytime the fame is loaded. Because of this the image loads time and again and i get a screen flicker. Can anyone tell me the code to load the image at the begining of the swf and only call it once inside the mc.

I'm a actionscript newbie and i'm just using the following to load the image inside the mc and then resize it:

loadMovie("images/image02.jpg", "pic01");
_width = 21;
_height = 21.4;
resize("pic01", _width, _height);

I know i'm probably being dumb, but i just don't know how to do it

Load Image Like External Txt Possible?
I read some threads on the "actionscripting" board but they are over my head. So I am humbled to return to the newbi section.

All I want to do is designate a section on my stage to have an image load into, similar to loading text from an external txt file. I think I need to be using a "loadmovie" script.

I am using MX and this will be for desktop deployment not web, if that makes a difference.

External Txt Image Preloader
I have a sort of image gallery that loads images that are defined in a *.txt

That all works fine, but because there are up to 30 different image galleries eac one has to be preloaded seperately.

My question is.

Is it posible to make a preloader with a bar that goes from 0% loaded to 100% loaded in combination with a external txt loader?

I use this code to get the images from the txt:

for (i=1; i<=max_aantal; i++) {
_root.Gallery["win"+i]._visible = false;
}

newLoad = new LoadVars();
newLoad.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
for (i=1; i<=aantal; i++) {
loadMovie(newLoad[projectnummer+"link"+i], Gallery["win"+i]);

How To Load An External Image?
Okay, I've been searching for two days straight to get help on this and it's driving me crazy. Every tutorial I find is either for MX or it's for a really complicated image gallery or it's a template. I don't have MX (and won't for a long time), I don't want a template, and I'm a complete beginner, so I want to start from the very bottom.

All I want to know is how to load ONE external image into my swf using Flash 5. I don't want to loop anything to see if it's loaded or use trace or xml or pass variables or anything else. Not yet. Right now, I just want to load the image using the image's actual filename and location.

I basically want the Flash 5 equivalent of an html <img src=photo.jpg> tag. Then I can start working my way up from there. Can anyone help me out with that?
