How Can I Load An External Image Using This Carousel Code

Carousel 3: Load External SWF In XML
First of all, I'm sorry to create yet another thread about carousel and XML. I know there are dozens of them already and one of them has the same question more or less, but I can't seem to find that thread anymore.

I am trying to link to an external .swf file in the carousel. I would like to have a link in the descriptions that loads an swf in the same window. I know how to load movieclips into Flash, but I don't have a clue about how I should do it in the carousel.

I have all the basic files of the carousel and added a fullscreen (mc_movieholder) holder to load the movieclip in. All I need now is to have a link in the XML file that loads the file (games.swf) when I click on a link in the text.

I really need this a lot and it's rather urgent.


Thanks very much in advance.

What code do we use to load an external SWF when releasing an item from the carousel? I have everything going well, up to this point.

I apologize if this is a re-post, please let me know...

Carousel IV - Load External SWF Into Loader Component
Hi There.
I'm a Flash newbie and have only just managed to replicate the flash carousel tutorials (Thanks Lee they're great!)

What I have been attempting to do (with my limited understanding) is to replace the dynamic text field with a loader component (instance name of myLoader) and have it load external swf files that are listed on the XML file in the "content" node...so in effect you load flash web pages instead of just text when an icon is clicked.

I have attempted this with no success as I'm not sure of the correct attribute to add or the correct way to call this from the released function (ie do I set a contentPath or make it a loadClip)

I'm loving Flash but must admit that I am finding it quite a struggle to learn so any help with this would be much appreciated...

Code For Load Jpg Into MC Is Distorting The Image?
i used the code for loading an image into a MC and it makes the image look really compressed by changing the colors. i checked the image from where the code is pulling it and its fine. does anyone know what i am doing wrong? thanks in advance.

[quote]on (release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
container.loadMovie("photo.jpg"
container._x = container._y=50;
_root.onMouseDown = function() {
startDrag("container"

Sample Code Question - Load Image
I'm not really a programmer but I had a question about the code below:


Code:
loadMovie("/images/headers/" + _root.photo + ".jpg", photo);
It's obvious that it loads an image but one of my questions was does "_root.photo" load a random image from some starting point? Also, is "photo" the name of a movie clip or image name?

Thanks for any feedback.

How To Load An External SWF With Code?
This is probably fairly easy, it was at least in AS2, but I have 2 FLA's, one is design.fla, the other is code.fla...

in the design FLA... I load in the code...

Code:


var maintimeline:MovieClip;
maintimeline = stage.getChildAt(0);
var url:String;
var loader:Loader;
url='codemodule.swf';
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
loader=new Loader();
initListeners(loader.contentLoaderInfo);
loader.load(request);
function initListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void
{
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completed);
trace("load complete");
}

function completed(event:Event):void
{
maintimeline.addChild(loader);
}

stop();
then in my code.swf, after it gets loaded, I want to initialize the design.fla


Code:

var URL:String = "http://192.168.2.2/version5";
trace("initializing from code");
var maintimeline:MovieClip;
maintimeline = stage.getChildAt(0);
var initilalize:initialize = new initialize(maintimeline, URL);
problem is I don't think my code.swf, where I set the maintimeline, is accessing the proper stage? or at least my initialize function starts to throw a bunch of errors because maintimeline is not correct here?

say I have something in my initialize class that wants to change a textbox_txt on the stage of my design.fla?

I get this error when I run my design.fla and the code.swf is loading

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at codemodule_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

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.

AC To Load External Image In MC

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?

How To Load An External Image?
I have the following code in DisplayTest.as which I also have an fla file called displayTest.fla
in displayTest.fla I have
ActionScript Code:
var displayShuffle:DisplayTest = new DisplayTest();
to initialise an object of the DisplayTest class
what I want to do is to load an external image onto the stage. However, it would not show.

ActionScript Code:
package {

            var loader:Loader = new Loader();
            addChildAt(loader,0);
            loader.load(new URLRequest("AA014242.jpg"));
        }

    }//end of DisplayTest Class
}
when compiling I get this error for Line 1 => 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript

How should I correct it to make it work?

Load A External Image
Im wanting to make a photo gallery that I can update easy, I thought if I could have a movieclip load external images for my thumbnails it would be nice but Im not sure how to set it up. I would make a file for my images and then another for my thumbnails, then if or when I want to switch out pictures I'd just have to drop new images into my folders and not even touch the FLA. Could anyone point me in the right direction with the right action script to use or a tutorial that explains how this is done..

And when I say load external I want it so I dont have to click on the image for it to load, I want it to just load automatically , I would put an invisible button or something to that efect over the images for a animated effect.

Thanks for your help.

Changing Code To Load External Swfs Instead Of Html Links
Hi

So I've purchased a flash nav menu with some actionscript that's a lot more advanced than my skills. All I want to do is change the code so that i can make the buttons load external swfs instead of launching an html window. Any help would be really apreciated, I suspect it's some thing minor, but I can't figure it out. I've posted the script below, alot of it controls the look of the menu, I trimmed a bit off the end because the post was too long, I'm just concerned with the links part. Thanks in advance.

Flash & PHP To Load External Image?
Does anyone know how I can use PHP to load an image into flash? I know how to load text into a dynamic textbox via flashvars, but I can not get an image to display this way. I do not know much about actionscripts, but I do know a little bit about PHP. I am not using any Adobe/Macomedia products, I am using a cheaper piece of flash software.

Any help or info would be great.

i am trying to modify on a open source fla. scripted by Eric Murray.

i been working with Flash a while but i am absolutely not good in actionscript. And i wanted to ask if anyone can help me just a bit in how i can modify the fla. I have tried by myself but with no success till yet.

Load External Image And Edit
Hello,

for the last couple of days i'm trying to get my code to work, but somehow I don't see the big picture.

My goal is to load an external jpg/png, from the same server. When this jpg/png is loaded i want to select a few pixels and turn them to aplha value 00.

The picture is loader allright, but the setpicture attr doesn't so anything.

import flash.display.BitmapData;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc",-16385);
loader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);
loader.loadClip("winter.png",holder_mc);
function onLoadInit()
{

myBitmap = new BitmapData(holder_mc._width, holder_mc._height,true,0xffffffff);
myBitmap.setPixel32(100,111,0x00FFFFFF);
myBitmap.setPixel32(101,111,0x00FFFFFF);
myBitmap.setPixel32(100,112,0x00FFFFFF);
myBitmap.setPixel32(101,112,0x00FFFFFF);
myBitmap.draw(holder_mc._x = 191);

holder_mc.removeMovieClip();
}
function onLoadError()
{
holder_mc.removeMovieClip();
}

stop();


If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be very pleased

How To Load An External Image Into A Sprite?
I want to load an external image into a sprite named imageHolder,
and I want this imageHolder only holds one image at a time, which means, when I load a new image into imageHolder, the old image in it should be replaced/removed/deleted.
so far I found that the images would lay onto one another, which is not what I want.
here's a fraction of my code, how should I achieve what I intend to do?
should I use removeChild() somewhere?



ActionScript Code:
var loader:Loader;
var imageHolder:Sprite= new Sprite();
addChildAt(imageHolder, 0);
function LoadExternalTest(targetName:String):void {
var index:uint = retrieveIndex(targetName);     
loader = new Loader();     
loader.load(new URLRequest(fArray[index][0]));     imageHolder.addChild(loader); }

Load External Swf With Dynamic Image
The files: Fla.rar

Hi
I have problems displaying the background image of an external.swf loaded into a main.swf. The main.swf is the Sliding Menu downloaded from Kirupa.

The s2.swf calling for the background image
I have an empty mc in the main stage with the instance of imgHolder2.

The script calls for the image:
_root.imgHolder2.loadMovie("images/content2.jpg");

Why does the background image of external.swf not display???


The button in main.swf calling for external swf
After finish sliding, button loads external.swf into _root.contentHold.content2.

The script:
b2.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(contentHold.content2);
_root.contentHold.content2.loadMovie("s2.swf");

Im not sure the script is correct. Should I define the path to the external swf differently!?
Thanks for your time

Load External Image And Animate?
This may be a naive question, but -

What is the best method to draw external content (an image file) into a Flash movie, AND then ANIMATE that content?

I assumed I would need to use the LOADER COMPONENT to draw an image file from an external URL, but is there a way to then perform a simple animation (e.g., slide the image across the stage) with the loaded image? I cannot seem to figure out how to manipulate an image once loaded (using the LOADER COMPONENT).

Yes, I am new to Flash, so there may be six other ways to do this of which I am not aware.

Suggestions/solutions?

Load External Image Problem
I am building a simple photo gallery. Each gallery category (ex: nature, fine art, etc.) is a seperate swf loaded into main interface. Within each of the seperate swf files, i have an empty loader clip to load large image. All of my thumbnail images are in movie clips. Within the thumbnail movie clip, i have in the first frame of the actions layer:

th1_mc.onRelease = function() {
_root.loader_mc.loadmovie("/assets/family/1b.jpg");
};

However, when I test movie, I get no errors but my image will not load into the empty movie clip. Can someone help me.
Thanks in advance.

Progress Bar External Image Load
Hello all,
I have a proplem I can't figure out.
I am making a portfolio website of images. These images are external files loaded using the loader component. I want to have a progress bar that gives feedback and disappears when the image is loaded and displaying. I've tried the progress-bar tutorials in "help" file and searched online but cannot find the answer as to how to get it too work.
My images load but slow so I need a progress bar. Thanks
(Flash CS3 A.S. 2.0)

The below code is I took from the tutorial on using component progress bar and modified it to my file. It's f-d up I'm sure. the progress bar and loader are on the same layer and the actionscript is added to that layer (as that's how they do it in the tutorial)
I'm trying to get the bar to function 0-100%, (that's what I though the listener was for) then I want it to become invisible when done loading.

"mainimage" is my instance of the picture loading component
"my_pb" is the instance name of the progress bar component


var mainimage:mx.controls.Loader;
var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;

my_pb.mode = "polled";
my_pb.source = my_ldr;

var pbListener:Object = new Object();
pbListener.complete = function(evt_obj:Object) {
trace("image loaded");
}
my_pb.addEventListener("complete", pbListener);


mainimage.autoLoad = false;
mainimage.contentPath = "images/handbridge.jpg";

// when autoLoad is false loading does not start until load() is invoked
mainimage.load();

LoadMovie - Load External Image
I have a website I made with a single flash file in which the .swf is 2.7 MB. The web site functions as a gallery of images that you can zoom into and move around, so large images are necessary. I had an idea to make the action script load the images externally into the .swf to make it smaller, but the script that I'm trying doesn't seem to work. I found it in the Flash help:

_root.figure_1.da_1a.i_1.loadMovie("images/gallery/Mr.Cooper(web)a.jpg");

i_1 is a button that contains the first image you see in the gallery. Evidentially, it has to be a button for the drag and drop or zoom functions to work - I can't remember which, I made this site last month. I just remember changing into an MC didn't work.

Anyway, today I placed this above script in the first frame of the MC that contains this button (da_1a), and nada. It didn't load anything. I also read that when it does load it will put the left corner on the registration point which is in the center of the button. The registration has to stay there for the zoom function to work properly. So, I need to somehow accompany the script with parameters to where to place the loaded image - x=(-400), y=(-262.5).

It seems this should be simple. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

JP

How To Use A Button To Load External Image.
Hello,

I wish to use a button to load an external image. However it does not work. The codes are:


Quote:




import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

var logo:Sprite = new Sprite();
var myLoader = new Loader();

myLoader.load(new URLRequest("myimage.png"));

function checkComplete(evt:MouseEvent):void {
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event. COMPLETE, loadImage);
}
loadPicture_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkComplete);

function loadImage(evt:Event):void {
logo.addChild(myLoader);
addChild(logo);
}




It seems that the loadImage function cannot be called from within the checkComplete function. How can I fix the problem?

Thanks and best regards

Load And Measure External Image
Hi,

I want to make a slideshow where images get loaded in a movieclip with a white frame (so the pics have a nice frame around them). But since my pics aren't all of the same format - I need each time to load and get the size of a pic, set the container_mc (with the frame) to the right size and then place the pic in it. I can't seem to find the right AS instruction for getting the size of the loaded pic. Can anyone help?

thanx!

Load External GIF Or PNG Image To Flash ?
Hi,
I heard that Flash can not load external image except image in JPG format. Is that correct ?
a work-around solution is putting the image ( in GIF ) into another flash, then the main Flash will load the GIF files from that swf.
But I still wonder if theres another solution for that !
if you got any idea or a solution, please help me through !

thanks,

Thang.

Use LoadMovie To Load External Image In Movieclip
HI all,

I try to load an extenal image via LoadMovie into an emptyMovieClip.
It works. But I want to make this image clickable.

This is my code:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("MC1",1);
_root.MC1.loadMovie("image1.jpg");
_root.MC1.onRelease = function() {
trace("name "+this._name);
}

The event handler on the MC1 does not work.
In the debug mode the Object _level0.MC1 exists.
Why can't I use an event handler on the image??

tnx for any idea

Is That Possible To Load External Image By Getting The Parameters From EMBED TAG?
Hello everybody.

I know for sure that external text is very easy to load by getting parameters from EMBED and PARAM NAME tags from html page where flash movie is placed. I’d like to find out if it is possible to load images by getting parameters from EMBED PARAM NAME tags. Here is example of the code:


Quote:




<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="movie.swf?text=Hello Friend&img1=images/image1.jpg&img2=images/image1.jpg&img3=images/image1.jpg">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=medium> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
<EMBED src="movie.swf?text=Hello Friend&img1=images/image1.jpg&img2=images/image1.jpg&img3=images/image1.jpg" quality=medium bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" NAME="movie" ALIGN=""
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>






In the red are the parameters for getting text. It is working. In the blue are parameters as a link to the images. I’d like to know how flash can get these parameters and load the images.
The attached files is the example where text is working but images are not loaded.
I almost lost a hope that it is possible. In advice is highly appreciated.
