Loading Image Onto Empty Movie Clip
hey all
just a quick question.
shown in the code below i am dynamically creating buttons. the buttons load an image and text into another clip above. what i need help with is; i need the image to ALSO be displayed on the button. :confused
so instead of the button filling with it's color (CCCCCC) i need it to fill with the corresponding image or part of the corresponding image.
any ideas?
thanks in advance!!

[MX04] Loading Preloader And Image Inside Empty MC
I'm creating a photogallery, and I'm thinking of creating the thumbs of an array.
Now doing this would be rather simple with using loops and creating empty movieclips and just puttting the images inside them. But what do I do if I want custom preloaders for each thumb?

The way I'm doing it now is that inside flash each thumb is a different movieclip that loads in the image "full with preloader" via actionscript. Now this is ok for 10 or so pictures, but when filling the gallery with about 100 images, it's very timeconsuming...

so basically I'm aksing how do attach custom made preloaders into empty movieclips and having that preloader preload another loaded image...
If I made enough sence and if it's even possible?

Loading Image And Then Checking Size
Hello. I have this little piece of code that runs onEnterframe watching for an image to be loaded. When it is loaded it is supposed to check the width and height of the image then center it under a mask. Every once in a while the centering deal doesn't work, as if the file didn't load 100 percent before the height and width values were polled. Could somebody look at this snippet and tell me is they see anything weird. Maybe the way I'm checking to see if the image is loaded? I don't know.

Thanks in advance.

if ((this.thumbNail.getBytesLoaded() == this.thumbNail.getBytesTotal()) && (this.thumbNail.getBytesTotal() > 0) && (this.thumbNail.getBytesTotal() ne "undefined")) {
this.littleLoader.removeMovieClip();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("maskThumbClip", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.maskThumbClip.beginFill (0x0000FF, 50);
this.maskThumbClip.lineStyle (5, 0xFF00FF, 100);
this.maskThumbClip.moveTo (0, 0);
this.maskThumbClip.lineTo (0, 50);
this.maskThumbClip.lineTo (50, 50);
this.maskThumbClip.lineTo (50, 0);
this.maskThumbClip.endFill();
this.thumbNail.setMask(this.maskThumbClip);
var moveX = Math.round((50 - this.thumbNail._width)/2);
var moveY = Math.round((50 - this.thumbNail._height)/2);
this.thumbNail._x += moveX;
this.thumbNail._y += moveY;
this.thumbNail._alpha = 0;

Resize Movie At Image Size (while Loading) ?
Hello you all...

I was wondering if there is a sample out there or if someone could help me out. I am trying to load a single image into a swf, while it loads the height and length of the movie will resize itself to the image. I want to use this for friend of my that loads his images up to his webpage without copyright protection but he really needs some...
Although I know something about actionscripting but this is going over my head for now... Still learning though!

Hopefully someone can help me out with this one i'd be greatly thankfull!

2) when you click on the buttons the first time (left panel) the move clip loads but the text that should load in the scroll pane dose not, yet again if you click that button again it loads properly.

here's the site CS Solutions.

Obtaining The Size Of An Image Using Loader Without Actually Loading It
Hi,

Does anyone know a method of figuring out the size of the target of an instance of the Loader class without actually loading it? For example, if I create the following code:

Code:
var url:String = "http://www.somewebsite.com/pic.jpg";
var image:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
Is there anyway to find out the size of pic.jpg without assigning an event listener to image.contentLoadInfo for Event.OPEN/COMPLETE and calling image.load(request)?

Thanks in advance,
J

[F8] My First Scene's Size Is Too Big, Even When Its Empty...
Hi, first im so excited dat i could join this forum coz the posts are really give me something...

Ive been developing a fash web site for the company where i work. The file is about 700kb and i know its realy big to be published on the web, so i created the preloader on the first scene. But when i tested the movie, the bandwith profiler show me that my first scene's size is about 230kb.... How could my first scene's size is so big...?
Even when i changed my preloader into a simple loading bar with percentage counting and the action script was only about 4 lines of code that only count the percentage of downloaded size, it still show the same size... So how could the first scene's size can be so big when i only put a simple things...?
Even when i deleted the preloader (so the first scene is now empty), it still shows as 230kb size...

Im so confused rite now, can somebody help me with this problem...?

P.S.: so sorry if my english is so poor... ^^v
and so sorry i cant attach the file coz its too big (700kb) and its my company's privacy...

Load Swf Onto Empty Mc, Regulate Size?
hi all!

i have a page that loads up with buttons on it that will open swf movies when a button is pressed.

i would like the movie to open up at a specific size on the page, how do i tell the movie where and how big to open up?
i would like to use an empty movie clip to load the swf onto, but how do i regulate the window/playing size of the swf?

also, if possible, could i have a script that when the viewer clicked on the swf movie that it would open up to full size???

thanks!

Need To Instantiate An Image In An Empty Mc Within A Button
Hi,

I dont know why I cant access an instance of a mc within a button.

I have an empty mc called "theEmpty" and another one containing a image called "theImageA" (exported to ActionScript). I have a button called "theButton" too.

I instantiated the mc "theEmpty" within first frame of "theButton" and named its instance as "TheEmpty1".

Then, I instantiated "theButton" in the first frame of the timeline and named its instance as "TheButton1".

In the first frame of the timeline, I coded the following:

theButton1.theEmpty1.attachMovie("theImageA","theI mageA1",2);

The idea should load the mc "theImageA" in the mc "theEmpty" that is within the button "theButton". Why it dont works????

Thanks!

Easing A Empty Mc With A Dynamic Image
I've worked on this for far to long to know success and it's probably something really simple that I am forgetting

I currently have a empty movieclip created that loads the image from the url. This image_mc is given a actionscript tween from left to right. The problem is that it doesn't move left to right. When you take of the loadMovie function it works as it should. any help would be appreciated.

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
image_mc.loadMovie("http://www.macromedia.com/images/shared/product_boxes/80x92/studio_flashpro.jpg");

var currentFrame = 0;

image_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
currentFrame++;
this._x = currentFrame*11;
if (currentFrame>50) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};

Empty Movieclip Properties (image Holders)
Hi Everyone

I am developing a scrollable image viewer. The user clicks the thumb and the main image is displayed in an empty movie clip called holder. How do I code it so the images fade in rather than appear straight away. Do I need to convert the images to swf's or can I assign actionscript to the movieclip named holder.

Thanks in advance

Center Image Within Empty Movie Clip?
Hello, I have been following this tuorial for creating a dynamic photo gallery using xml.

right now, when loaded, the top left hand corner of each image is aligned to the 0,0 coordiante of the empty movieclip. My images vary in size and shape so I would rather that they were aligned centrally to the 0,0 coridinate. is this possible?

[F8] 'Centering An External Image To Empty MC' Problem.
Hi everyone,

I'm working on customising an open source Flash/XML gallery, and I've almost got it how I want, but seem to be stuck on what I think could be a very simple problem, which I'm hoping some kind soul here will be able to point out, so I can slap my forehead in a d'oh kind of way.

I'm trying to get the empty MC called 'holder', to instead of the default top/left corner, to load the image in it's centre. I can get the 'clicked' images to do so, but it's just the initial/first image that still loads the default way.

I've copy/pasted the part of the code which I think is the place to look. And I've RoyalBlue'd the part of the code I changed to make the 'clicked' image to do what I want.

Code:
imageWidth = 55;
imageHeight = 50;

var cx = holder._x;
var cy = holder._y;

clickAction = function (_arg2) {
loadMovie (_arg2.large, this.holder);
this.info_mc._alpha = 0;
this.holder._alpha = 0;

if (holder._width) {
holder._x = cx-holder._width/2;
holder._y = cy-holder._height/2;
}

this.info_mc.info = _arg2.txt;
this.info_mc.num = (_arg2.i + " af ") + total;
};
loadMovie (large[0], this.holder);
this.info_mc.info = txt[0];
this.info_mc.num = "1 af " + total;
i = 0;

Positioning Empty Movie Clip External Image Loader
Hello (again),

I am building a gallery for a photographer.

The setup: one large mc loader on mainstage (myLoader_mc). Several movie clip thumbnails contained in one large movie clip. You click on the thumbnail, large image loads into myLoader_mc. I am using a purchased component from extend studios for my transitions.

The problem: my jpgs are of different height and width. I want to keep using the same movie clip to load the images (myLoader_mc) but position the loader with different x and y coordinates for each loaded image so that it is centered on the stage. I am using the following script but the loader clip is stuck in the position defined by the first thumbnail. the script is in layer 1, frame 1 of the movie clip containing all of the thumbnail movie clips.

th1_mc.onRelease = function(){
_parent.myLoader_mc.loadMovie("/assets/family/1b.jpg");
myLoader_mc._x = 162;
myLoader_mc._y = 5;
}
th2_mc.onRelease = function(){
_parent.myLoader_mc.loadMovie("/assets/family/2b.jpg");
myLoader_mc._x = 282;
myLoader_mc._y = 5;
}

The image loaded by thumbnail 2 is stuck in position on thumbnail 1. Need to change this dynamically no matter which thumb is clicked.

Any help is appreciated and I hope I have explained this clearly enough. If you help me solve this, i will toast my next drink to you.

[F8] Loading SWF Into Empty MC
Hey there,

Quick question: I need to load an external SWF into my main movie. The SWF to be loaded has smaller dimensions than the main movie and needs to placed at specific x/y co-ordinates. I have used the following:-

createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("loaded.swf", "container");
container._x = 70 ;
container._y = 0 ;

This is working, only the BG color of the loaded SWF is not displaying.

Can anyone suggest what I need to do/ adjust please ?

Many thanks

Q.

Loading In An Empty MC
I have a main movie:

main.swf

main.fla

and a navigation system that I need to load into the top:

nav.swf

In the first frame of main I have some actions:

---------------------------------------------------------

_root.nav.loadMovie("nav.swf");

---------------------------------------------------------

_root.nav is the instance name for the empty MC.

NOW - I know it loads - cos when I moved it around I obscured some objects on the main.swf stage. BUT none of the content runs!? Try running nav.swf for yourself and see - there's plenty of it there!

There must be a really simple answer to this............please....someone help

Targeting Thumb Nail Image In Image Scroller To Full Size In Middle Of Screen
Hi people....

Thanks for your time....I`m basically looking for ideas on how to do the following. Most of the work is done all I need I hope is a little actionscript... ( I hope)

I`m building a scrolling picture gallery for someone where they want the thumbnail images, once clicked upon to scale very large in the middle of the screen on top of the image scroller. When the image is clicked it zooms back down to where it was clicked upon in the scolling image gallery. The site that best describes this is http://www.chris-bailey.com.

I can do the scrolling image gallery (well, thanks to other friendly flask kit people) and get the user to click the image buttons to load a movie above the scrolling gallery but its targeting the moving images in the scroller to target to the middle of the screen and stop moving and then go back down to the moving scroller.... All the images in the scroller are seperate movies that are obviously easy to scale but I need to turn off the scrolling action when they start scaling into the main movieso they remain still to view. Any ideas please? Using Flash MX.

Thanks.... Angus

Loading Swf's In Empty Clip
Hi

I have a question regarding loading swf's in an empty clip. I was able to load my swf into an empty Movie Clip in the main movie, and the postioning is fine. When I test the main movie which is larger than my loaded swf the loaded swf file doesn't crop to the size of the stage I created it initially. Example Main Movie stage size is 550 x 400 pixels and the Swf stage size is 220 x 80 pixels(with moving elements starting off stage). It seems to show parts of the swf movie that start moving off stage, all I really want it to show is the stage and not the off stage items. When I test the loaded swf on its own it seems to be cropped to the stage size.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Loading MCs From Library Into Empty MC
Hi all,

I have inherited a file from the previous designer that has alot of separate movie clips that are targeted from a main navigation(buttons) list.

Is there a way to load the movie clips from the library (i.e. not have them on stage) into an empty "container" movie clip when a user selects its button form the main nav list?

(f8) Question About Loading Empty M.c.'s
hi all!

got a question about loading empty m.c.'s. my new site will be 1 frame with m.c.'s nesteled within. so the loading m.c.'s (3-4) will all be of varying sizes to make up the whole page dimensions. so the question is about the m.c.'s that will be loaded, do i:
-make the m.c. full sized (1024x768) and just make the content fit the space (1024x200) where you plan to use it...or
-make the m.c. the actual size that will fit the intended space.

i am aware that either one of these methods will work. just looking for some feedback so i can avoid any possible pitfalls.

thanks!

Easy: Loading Into An Empty MC

what was the script for loading a movie into an empty MC when the main novie has finished loading?

/no on click event, just when movie finishes loading another movie loads upon the main movie/

Loading Swf Files Into Empty MC
My site has three frames, 1 is the preloader, 2 is the intro movie, and 3 is the main scene. In the main scene I have an empty MC called mainempty that covers most of the stage. The only part not covered is a small area at the top which has the nav buttons which never leave this location. In frame three of the main layer, I have an action statement which is
loadMovie ("A.swf", mainempty);

The movie loads perfectly. Three of the nav buttons changes the pages by loading different swf. files into the empty movieclip. These nav buttons are located within a button that is within a movieclip. They are part of a drop down menu. When I selected one of the buttons, I added

on (release)
_root.loadmovie ("B.swf", mainempty);

This loaded the movie but the entire stage shrunk to only the B swf. Then I tried adding an extra frame to the main stage, along with all artwork to extend it one frame (4). On the action frame of: loadMovie ("A.swf", mainempty);
I deleted it. I just left it blank. The problem is still there. The movie loads but shrinks to just the swf file. How do I load a swf file and keep the main stage there?

Loading Into An Empty Movieclip
