Flash :: Loading Order - Dynamically Loading Images

Loading Order Of Dynamically Loaded Thumbnails
Hi guys, I'm working on a portfolio site that I'm pretty much done with, but I'm having trouble with the loading order of the thumbnails on the site.

The work in the portfolio is grouped into clients, and within each client, there are thumbnails that display the selected work.

This will probably make more sense if you can see what I'm talking about:

http://clients.simonabrams.com/georg.../creative.html

(Only the first two clients are enabled at the moment).

Specifically, when the page is first loaded (from a web server) the thumbnails show up in the wrong order. When the page is refreshed, the thumbnails are displayed in the correct order. The thumbnails always display in the correct order when being viewed locally, or in the Flash Test Movie environment.

I'm pulling in the data from an xml file into an array, and iterating through the elements of the array with a for...next loop, I'm loading the thumbnail images with a MovieClipLoader instance. Using the onLoadInit event, I then set the horizontal position of each thumbnail clip.

I'm not necessarily looking for help with the code, as much as I'm looking for reasons why the order could be switching. I suspect it has to do with which thumbnail image finishes loading first - in which case, I'd love a suggestion on how to force the images to load in the correct order. Maybe I should use if...then and load the next thumbnail only when onLoadComplete fires?

I'd love any suggestions you guys might have.

Loading Images In Order?
I just recieved Flash MX 2004, and this is my first ever experience with flash. I have been reading through a lot of tutorials, but I am terribly confused about something. I am trying to get several images to load in order, or when one loads then the next loads, and so on. I have tried placeing the images in different layers on the of the same scene and using keyframes and the stop action, but either one of two things seems to be happening to me. Either the images all load at once or the previous image disappears when the next loads. I think, perhaps, I just have the wrong idea about how exactly the layers work. If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, or point me in the direction of a tutorial, it will be most appriciated. Sorry for the sad and rediculous "newbie" nature of this question. Feel free to laugh
Thanks in advnace for any help anyone can provide. Cheers!

Loading Images In Order
Ok, created an imageviewer using xml. I'm creating thumbnails, using both external swf's and jpeg's. My problem is, I want the thumbnails to load in order. For example, all the jpg's will load faster than the swfs, and it will look like I have blank spots where thumbnails are supposed to be. How can I make sure on is loaded in the for statement before loading the next? For some reason I can't target it use getBytesLoaded()/Total(). This code is my function to create the thumbnails. Any help is appreciated. You can go to: http://www.darrenbaldwin.com/work/imageviewer.html to see an example of what I'm talking about.

(I've also read all the tutorials about xml gallerys and preloading on here, and can't quite find the answer, but maybe I missed it)

Code:
function createMenu(b) {
myNum = 0;
a = viewerXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[b].childNodes[1];
_root.Arrows.removeMovieClip();
if (a.childNodes.length>5) {
_root.attachMovie("Arrows", "Arrows", 7);
_root.Arrows._x = 124.5;
_root.Arrows._y = 15.8;
}
_global.where = a;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 8);
menu._x = 19;
menu._y = 6;
menu.setMask(mask);
for (i=0; i<a.childNodes.length; i++) {
clip = menu.createEmptyMovieClip(a.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue, i);
clip.createEmptyMovieClip("image", 1);
clip.image.loadMovie(a.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue, i);
trace(clip.image.getBytesTotal())
clip.image._xscale = clip.image._yscale=7;
clip.btn_name.text = a.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
clip._x = (clip._width+45)*(i);
clip.name = a.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
clip.imageName = a.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
clip.imageDesc = a.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
clip.ivar = i;
}
}

Images Not Loading In Order
trying to make a dead simple slideshow. The code I got works but it does not load the images in order of how they are named (i.e image0.jpg, image1.jpg, etc.)

Code:
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.*;
var imgArray:Array = new Array();
var loader:Loader;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
var count:int = 0;
var numImages:int = 5;
for(var i:Number=0; i<numImages; i++){
loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("factImages/image"+i+".jpg"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, pushImage);
}
function pushImage(e:Event):void{
var holder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
holder.addChild(e.target.content);
imgArray.push(holder);

if (imgArray.length == 5){
startShow();
}
}
function startShow():void{
//add initial image
addChild(imgArray[0]);
inTrans(imgArray[0]);
count = 1;

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, slideShow);
timer.start();
}
function slideShow(event:TimerEvent):void{
addChild(imgArray[count]);
inTrans(imgArray[count]);
count++;

//reset counter
if(count == 5){count = 0};

if(numChildren > 2){
removeChild(getChildAt(0));
}
}
function inTrans(mc:MovieClip):void{
var myTransitionManager:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(mc);
myTransitionManager.startTransition({type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:2, easing:Strong.easeOut});
var fadeIn:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(mc);
fadeIn.startTransition({type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration:3, easing:Strong.easeOut});
}
any clues on how to force the images to be loaded by their filename order?
I do not want to use XML for a 5 image slideshow.

I tried renaming the images but the order still gets jumbled (i.e image3, image1, image4, image2, image0)

Browser Loading XML Fed Images In Wrong Order
I've created an XML fed gallery that displays the thumbnail once the large image has been loaded.. the problem I'm having is once it's online the browser is loading the images out of the order they were in.. guessing size wise rather than 1-20 which means thumbnails are coming up in the wrong order.. is there any way in which I can make the actionscript wait till the image has loaded before going onto creating the next movie clip??

Dynamically Loading Images Into Dynamically Loaded MovieClips
I'm read through many of the posts and found several on this topic, none, however, that addressed all that I need addressed. I've tried several of the suggestions but so far nothing seems to work.

What I want to do is alter the width of images loaded dynamically into a dynamically loaded set of movieclips. all of the widths of the images are different, but i want them set to the same width. The width seems to stay at zero, however, and I cannot seem to change it.

Here is my code:

for (var i:Number = 0; i < 8; i++){
var mc = attachMovie("rect_mc", "r" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc._x = 90 + (i * (mc._width+5));
mc._y = 375;
mc.img_txt.text = "image" + (i+1);
mc.img_mc.loadMovie("myPic" + (i+1) + ".jpg");

mc.img_mc._xscale = mc.img_mc._yscale = (50/mc.img_mc._width) * 100;
};

The last line is the one that does not function properly.

I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide. thanks.

Dynamically Loading Images?
Coincidentally, I have two clients who are both wanting photo gallery type applications for their sites...

Is there a way to dynamically load images into your movie from a directory (i.e. without putting them into your .swf beforehand)?

I'm pretty sure there isn't, but I wondered if anyone else had thought about it...

Thanks for coming in.

Pardon my inquiry if this is a common question, but I searched the forums and didn't get an answer.

How do I dynamically load images by themselves? This as always something that amazed me about MX but I have no clue how to do it and all my help and supports don't list it (at least where I'm looking).

I just read something about loading images dynamically - does that mean that the images will load only when referenced? I have a file that contains a lot of images, and I don't want them all to load right away - the file takes far too long to load. Is it possible, then, to have the images load only when called on? In other words, have an image load only when the user clicks the button that is referencing the image?

Thanks,
Michelle

Hello... Thanks for any help in advance.

I am trying create a slide show type of thing for my website. The problem is I do not want to keep opening up the Flash movie and re exporting it everytime I need to add a picture. Is there any way that I can create an Object that will hold the place of the picture and then point it to the directory with the pictures in it? Then it (the action script or something) would just look for more picutres or something in the folder? Im sure there is aname for this..

Apologies for my dumbness... Im a musician not a programmer.

So I tried to do a tutorial for dynamically loading images from a UI List.

but the tutorial was outdated and I'm using MX 2004.
Apparently, Macromedia changed the syntax around a bit, and some things are different.. thats why I need help

In Flash MX, there was Change Handler for the UI List, in MX 2004 there isn't one, what do I do now?

Also, .getSelectedItem isn't recognized, but .getSelected is, is it the same thing?

First of all, i apologise if this has been posted elsewhere (which im sure it has been) but i cant find it

Ive made an image gallery with various thumbnails on, and when i roll over a thumbnail i want it to load the larger image into a textbox with variable and instance name 'image'

The button actionscript is as follows:

number="image 1";
image.htmlText="<img scr='./image_1.jpg'>";
}
on (rollOut) {
title="";
number="";
}

the settings for the textbox are:

Loading Images Dynamically
Well a little different from the usual, I have already built a small flash gallery that loads images in from a folder using xml etc but this there a way that I can simply read the images in directly from the folder.

In php/ASP I can program a small piece of code that can simply look into a given folder and display the contents of that folder etc, but is there a similar way rather than using xml, basically so if I add a new image to the folder the flash would pick this up, rather than me also up date my xml page as well

Hi All

I have struggled with this for a while and searched endlessly for some examples, but to no avail, any help would be appreciated

Help Loading Images Dynamically
Hi, I'm new here.
I have a question, I have a slideshow created in Flash MX 2004 which transitions through 3 images with a fade between each slide. It runs by itself and requires no action from the viewer to change slides unless they want to stop it on one slide they can then navigate through using the buttons.
My problem is that I would like to have these images load from an external folder rather than be placed in the movie themselves because they change every week and it would be more convenient if all we had to do was replace images and keep using the same swf. Every tutorial for this requires the user to click on something to make an image load. Is there a way to just call on the images as soon as the slideshow loads?

Loading Images Dynamically
When you load an image into flash using the code

Code:
loadMovie("images/"+vh_p3graphic+".jpg", "Pic3");
is there away to resize the image or control the image size so that no matter what the original image size is, it fits into the mc? I don't want the mc resizing to fit the image.

Is there away to specifiy the mc dimensions and lock them in?

If my user uploads an image to big for the diplayed area, I want to fit the image into a specified area?

Or instead of doing that, can I somehow check the image size and if it's bigger than I want for my mc, replace it with a custom image that says something like "Sorry your image is to big to fit here"

Thanks

Dynamically Loading Images
Could someone help?

Is there a way of loading images in flash dynamically, from a certain folder, that do not have set filenames with a recurring naming convention?

e.g. loading images to a flash slide show from a folder that contains images downloaded from a digital camera such as Dsc001.jpg, Dsc003.jpg, Dsc004.jpg (certain files in the sequence missing)

The Slideshow sample provided with flash MX uses the increment method (which is what I had in mind), but what happens if certain files in the sequence have been deleted? Perhaps using a loop would be suitable, that loops until it finds a file and then displays it?

Any suggestions would be appreciated along with code as I am fairly new to Actionscript (I do have a fair idea though!). Thanx

Dynamically Loading Images
I want to be able to load images dynamically. Like I call them 01.jpg, 02.jpg and so on…
Now, if I only have say 5 images, when it gets to the fifth and you click next it takes you back to the first one again BUT if I add more images [06.jpg, 07.jpg…] it finds them without me having to update the script.

I know this must be a pretty easy one, but I’m all alone in the office and I can’t figure it out.

Would it be possible to customize this code to do what I want or is it a job for PHP??

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("imageloader",1);
container.loadMovie("photo.jpg");
container._x = container._y = 50 ;

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am trying to dynamically load a set of images into flash.

I have the current file made in PHP and HTML which I am converting to flash.

The code is from the photo gallery in the tutorials.

Loading Images Dynamically?
I would like to know if it is possible to load an image on top of another one using load movie, but without loading it on the same level. My problem is that I can get an image to load, and one on top of that, but they are on the same level and so there is a blank black screen where the images are in between loading.

I tried using loadMovieNum() method which worked perfectly because I could specify the level they were on, but with loadMovie() I am unable to do this.

Right now in my code I have this:

StagePictures.createEmptyMovieClip("e_mc" , 1);
Stage Pictures is a movie clip I created manually and placed into the main stage.

Within StagePictures I have this actionscript code:

onClipEvent (load) {
StagePictures._lockroot = true;
e_mc.loadMovie("somejpg");

}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(17)) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {
if (Key.isDown(65)) {
e_mc.loadMovie("ANewJpg");
}
}
}
}

My problem is when it loads the new image, The screen refreshes making a black spot in the stage because they are being loaded on the same level. Is it possible for me to use loadMovie to load the image on a new level within the StagePicture MC in the nested clip e_mc? If not, how can I go about switching between images on a conditional event without using the same level?

Thanks

Dynamically Loading Images With Flash
Hey all,

I have an interesting question and am wondering who has explored this idea. We have created an application that dynamically creates an image with "company logo" and saves it in the desired format. I would like to extend this functionality with Flash. All I need Flash to do is be able to make a call to this dynamically generated image file and put it inside Flash. I have some ideas about how I "might" be able to get this to work. Do any of you guys have any bright ideas?

Basically I beleive that PHP can write Flash files. That being the case, can PHP take an image and "wrap" it in a Flash movie(or extensions). I think I would then be able to call the image a MAIN Flash movie that way.....

Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks all!

Dynamically Loading Images Into Flash?
I have been trying to conceptualize in my head how I could dynamically load images into flash, in any way. For example, just making a image show without having to ever import the files into Flash.

I had an idea to try putting an <IMG> tag into HTML enabled dynamic text in Flash, but alas, that did not seem to work.

Anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...6952/index.php
that's an old version but basically it does the same as my new one. I now have 500 images loading dynamically with 5 or 6 text fields to be loaded with each image. Although it works fine, I want to be able to do it through a database instead of an external Action Script file. I can do it through ASP but I want to run it off a CD-ROM. Anyone got any ideas of what Language I can use to do this? Or where I could get an example.
