Importing Jpeg
I'm making a movie with a lot of high quality jpegs and importing each into the library has left me with a huge flash movie that doesn't run very smoothly because of the size. Is there a way to import the pictures dynamically so the image is taken right from the image file rather than being in the movie library?
Any help would be appriciated

Importing JPEG Into FMX - Some Work, Some Don't
Hi all
Im having a bit of a weird one with Flash MX - Importing jpegs as movie clips.
I noticed that a small (but important) proportion of the images that I was importing would not import. After a bit of headscratching, I found the problem to be related to (maybe) how the images were created.
Using Photoshop 6, any files that were created under the "Save For Web" dialogue were fine (ie importable into Flash), but any using the more traditional "Save As" dialogue would not import.
Ive been through EXIF data for each of the images, and just can't seem to find a solution.
Anyone seen this problem before? Are there certain types of Jpeg that Flash cannot import?
(I already checked for the obvious such as DPI, RGB/CMYK)...

Importing JPEG Sequence For Game UI
Hi,
I am bringing in 150 JPEGs from a QuickTime movie in order to
control User movement (Video Game Style) on each frame
The lowest I can get each JPEG down to is 16kb, but it still
makes for a large SWF movie (1.5 MB)
Any advice on how to optimize further?

Importing (multiple) Jpeg Images Timeline
Okay, I'm a photographer who has a lot of pictures to display on the site.
Home page has a slideshow with 10 images that come ibe displayed I know how to use the moviecliploader to load 1 external jpeg, but I want the file to;
a. come in with a brightness of 100 then down to 0 then hold for 3 seconds, then back up to 100 then out....all in actionscript no more than 5 frames if possible
b. I don't want to do this with tweens, it increases the file size for just 6 images to 1.4 mb, and that's an swf that I am importing without music. Remember the image quality is paramount and the images must be as large as possible for this type of market.
Really it's just how to do this slide show -the way I want it, that's holding me up from publishing my site.
I'm using flash 8 and have a working knowledge of Actionscript, I got totally confused with a template that I foolishly bought and saw no real hierarchy to tweak, let alone load esternal files (again, multiple files, not just 1) I can talk, or write out what I want but I'm really stumped in figuring out what to look for to do precisely what I want. So trying to extrapolate tutorials for 1 image import just doesn't cut it...know what I mean
Thanks in advance.

JPEG Loading... How Do I Wait Until The Jpeg Has Loaded
Hi everyone!
this is the code that I currently use. I want to be able to wiat until the jpeg is loaded before going trought the loop again.....
any ideas? I have tried to use the getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal but they always show up as 0. Very annoying.
Code:
var currentX = 0
for (k=0;k<galleryVar.items;k++){
_root.thumbslider.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb" + k,(50 + k));
eval("_root.thumbslider.thumb" + k)._x=currentX;
loadMovie(_root.categoryList+"/thumbnails/"+_root.imageArray[k]+".jpg",eval("_root.thumbslider.thumb" + k));
currentX = currentX + eval("_root.thumbslider.thumb" + k)._width;
trace("Pic" + k + " " + currentX);
}
the "currentX" (2nd line from the bottom) doesn't get a value because the jpeg doesn't get loaded quickly enough. How can I wait for the jpeg to load before going through the loop again.
I don't want to use frames becasue I am creating everything dynamically!
Am i making sense?
Hope someone can help me!
Thanks

Cannot Alter "document-jpeg-quality" And "use Imported Jpeg Quality"?
sometimes in MX i can always choose between "use document default jpeg-quality" or "enter an integer for quality" for imported jpeg-data. (possibly jpgs generated with photoshop 6)
sometimes i can never - i just have to choose between "use imported jpeg-quality" or "enter an integer for quality".
(definitely jpgs generated with photoshop 7)
can anyone tell me why this happens?
are there preferences in photoshop 7 that solve my problem?

Jpeg Help...please
ok...i have done it before and i don't know whats up. i used all the tricks (alpha to 99%, smoothing uncheck) but my jpeg is breaking apart. my other work is fine but my new fla just cant handle for some reason. it must be something within just this movie. if i import another jpeg symbol that is perfect from another fla it gets fuzzy in the new movie. what gives? is it a compression thing? some sort of preference? please, please help.

Can I Do This With Jpeg?
if I can call a varible from my .fla file that holds a URL with:
Code:
PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="screen[1].swf?url=order.html">
and
EMBED src="screen[1].swf?url=order.html"
and
Code:
screen.holder1.onRelease=function(){
getURL(url);
}
Will the same work to call a varble that holds a URL to a .jpeg(...images/case_100.jpg) with this code?
Code:
screen.holder1.loadMovie("http://www.angelfire.com/in4/completepcessentials/images/case_100.jpg");
but instead of "url" it loads a varible that holds that same URL?

Png Or Jpeg
What do you think is the best format for importing images into flash? What shows the best image quality VS smallest file size? I've had good luck with png files, but they tend to lose quality more than jpegs. Even though I set my flash output to high quality for both.

How Much For A .jpeg?
I guess this qualifies as General Help...
I normally charge in the region of £500-700 for a 10-page static site (design and implementation), but a company has asked for a .jpeg of the layout which their team will then turn into the site.
What split design/programming?
50:50 would mean charging at least £250.
Any thoughts?

Jpeg VS HD
Morning out there;
Using flash 8, my knowledge base is not so hot.
First, is this correct. In my library i change all my bitmaps from lossless to jpeg to keep down movie size, and in the belief that our eyes don't see that much difference on our present day computer screens. Correct?
2nd - if i wanted to, i could go back into the library, change all bitmaps back to lossless and republish, AND i would have the original lossless quality - correct? Or is this truth - once you degrade the image in the library, you can't get the quality back unless you reimport the lossless image and place it back into the movie. A lot of work. Which is correct?
I ask this because of the coming HD wave. I am worried that the days of trashing images to jpeg are coming to an end in the next 2-3 yrs, and that all work done in jpeg with have a dated look and feel. Thus maybe i should leave eveything at lossless (not HD i know, but better than jpeg)- at least for now until i see how things shake out. Is this correct, or is my ignorance showing?
thanks out there

Jpeg Question
can someone please explain to me why, for some of the .jpegs i've imported, the properties dialogue says "use document default quality," whereas for others the dialogue says "use imported JPEG data"?
i much prefer to use the imported jpeg data, since i've optimized the images in photoshop. and i find that the images where i can use the imported data read better onscreen.
i'm fairly sure that i'm prepping all of the images in the same way, being the creature of habit that i am. so why the difference when imported into flash?

What If You Import A Jpeg That Isn't There?
i'm dynamically loading jpegs into my movie. they are loaded into a target mc.
my problem: how can i know if flash looks for the image and can't find it in the specified directory?
the reason: if flash cannot find the jpeg, nothing is loaded into the clip, so the clip "disappears"... this clip is needed to be duplicated so that if a user selects it, a copy is created and dragged by the user. hwvr, if the target mc is empty, the new duplicated mc will be emptied out, thus breaking the dragging item for the rest of the time the user is on the page.
is there a way that i can "if" it so it can create a backup plan if there is no jpeg there?
thank you

What Is Up With Jpeg.s In Flash 5?
How do I appropriately import a jpg without a white outline? I know that Flash seems to prefer jpgs (they look much better than imported gifs and pngs), but how do I get them to stand seperately, without the white box?
The "Break Apart" (cmnd + B) command used with the wand tool really does not do a great job taking off the white. I'd really have to sit down for quite awhile with the lasso tool to get a perfect edge, around image... What else can I do? This seems like it should be such an easy & common sense kind of thing!

LoadMovie JPEG
I have a specific area that I want each image to load into. I've read that this is the action to assign to the button:
on(release) {
loadMovie("myImage.jpg", "targetMC");
}
I've assigned this action to a thumbnail so the image should load in the "targetMC" but when I click on the thumbnail it just shows the image by itself and the rest of the stage is empty. What do I do to make the movie clip so that when I click on the thumbnail it would only insert the image into a specific area and retain the buttons/logo on the stage?

OnLoad Jpeg?
in my movie i want users to click on a thumbnail which will dynamically load a fullsize jpeg into the movie -- and i would like to have it so that once the swf knows the size (dimensions W x H)of the jpeg, it can size a "matte" around it. but the image needs to be loaded before it tries to set the sizes, etc.
i'm just getting familiar with the "onLoad" action in MX. is it possible to use the onLoad on an imported jpeg? if so, do i target the jpeg itself? the MC it's loaded into?
here's an ex of the code currently. i'm married to none of it, except the loadMovie part.
Code:
loadMovie ( /:currentImage, "destination");
destination.onLoad = function () {
trace ("onLoad called");
gotoAndPlay("AdjustMax");
} ;
any help, or direction to a tutorial would be greatly appreciated. thanks,

How Do I Know When My Jpeg Loads?
I have a statement:
loadMovie("mypicture.jpg",shape);
where shape is an empty MC on the stage.
To check when "mypicture.jpg" is loaded, I could have done the old-fashioned polling look method with two frames checking for: shape._framesloaded to look right.
But this is Flash MX, and I wanted to use
shape.onLoad = function() {
//do something here
}
The problem is, it doesn't work. When the image loads, it isn't called. (btw, a shape.onUnload will work when the loadMovie() statement is invoked)
Am I doing something wrong? Will I have to do a clumsy polling loop instead?
