Flash :: MovieClip Size Once Jpeg Loaded

Dynamicly Loaded Jpeg Size Limits?
In my movie I have a movieclip, that is masked, that holds externally loaded jpegs. Now the jpegs are 3200 px wide x 250 px tall. Everything works fine but the loaded jpg seems to get cut off at around pixel 2900 so the last 300 px of the images dosent show.

Couldn't find anything in the documentation regarding this.

I've tried several work arounds but to no avail.

I'm just currious if there is a limit to the height or lenght of dynamicly loaded content. if so I guess its back to the drawing board.

Thanks in advance.

Get Full Size Of A Loaded MovieClip
Hi guys,

This problem is driving me crazy so please help. I need to load clips into boxes of specific sizes. I have to create this boxes dinamically and the sizes are also dinamic. So I create emptyMovieclips and then I tried 2 aproaches:

1) if I assign a width and height to any box and then try to loadamovie into it, the movies doesn't show.

2) if I load the movie into the box and then try to scale it to the given size for the box then I can never get the actual fullSize of the loadedClip. The size of the loaded clip changes as the movie plays so how would I get the full size so that my scaling works correctly.

Any help would be extremly apreciated, I'm really going nuts over this problem. Thanks in advance.

How To Know Size Of Loaded MovieClip Or Image
Basically I load an PNG or SWF. I load it at this.myContainer.myTarget. When I check the size of either myContainer (a movie clip containing myTarget) or myTarget it-self, I get undefined has a result.

Am I just too tired or is there something I haven't read anywhere... :'(

I just want to centre the loaded image or movie...

Code:
stop();
trace('starting load');
trace(this._parent.PicName);
//loadMovie(this._parent.PicName, this.myContainer.myTarget);

var picLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader({_x: -37.5, _y: -25 });
var loadListener:Object = new Object();

function ShowPic() {
MyContainer._x = (myContainer._width / 2) * -1;
MyContainer._y = (myContainer._height / 2) * -1;
this.play();
this._parent.play();
trace(this.MyContainer._width + ', ' + this.MyContainer._height);
trace(this.MyContainer.myTarget._width + ', ' + this.MyContainer.myTarget._height);
}

loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip, httpStatus:Number):Void {
trace(">> loadListener.onLoadComplete()");
trace(">> =============================");
trace(">> target_mc._width: " + target_mc._width); // 0
trace(">> httpStatus: " + httpStatus);
ShowPic();
}

picLoader.addListener(loadListener);
picLoader.loadClip(this._parent.PicName, this.myContainer.myTarget);
trace('Loading Started');

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

[FMX2004] - Determining Size Of Image Loaded Into Blank MovieClip (Based On Tutorial)
I'm using the codebase from the Flash/XML Gallery tutorial posted on this website -- http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm

Because my images are not all of a uniform size, I need to dynamically find out what the loaded image sizes are and then based on the stage size, center them on my stage. I understand in principle how this is done -- [mcInstanceName]._width, [mcInstanceName]._height. I then subtract these values from the stage w/h and then divide by two.

My issues is that using the codebase at the tutorial link above, it's seems that I can only access the empty movie clip's properties in the onEnterFrame event handler. I thought I could access the empty movie clip's properties anytime the prevImage() & nextImage() functions were call. I trace the values at those point in the code and get "0"

function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
// MY ADJUSTMENTS HERE
imgH = picture._height;
imgW = picture._width;
picture._x = (Stage.width-imgW)/2;
picture._y = (Stage.height-imgH)/2;

}
}

The code is not returning the _width & _height values in order to set my _x & _y properties. Any pointers, I'd greatly appreciate.

Jpeg And Movie Size...
i was wondering if anyone new how they use jpegs in a swf and they seem not to break apart at any screen size. do they use some sort of resolution detection and load a different movie movie for that screen size? i dunno if they would do a whole site in 5 different versions...? if anyone knows how to set a movie to '100%' and keep the jpegs from breaking apart, please let me know.

Max Jpeg Import Size
OK, Here's the problem. Flash's maximum jpeg import size -- through loadMovie -- is 2880 px wide/hight. I built a tool using CF to dynamically import jpeg's into flash. Unfortunately, they want the jpeg's to be much bigger than 2880 px wide. Other than manually embedding the images into swf's and scaling them down, does anyone know how to import and view an image that is larger than 2880 px wide or high.

BTW, once you import the jpeg using loadmovie, _xscale/_scale will NOT allow you to view the rest of the cut-off image (nor will modifying the _width/_height).

Any ideas?

Thanks for thinking!

Here's a link for an example jpg.

Is There A Maximum Jpeg Import Size?
I'm importing a Jpeg that is 3500x400. I'm using it as my sliding panel, but when I test my movie I don't see the image but I do see a bunch of horizontal lines like the image has been smudged across the movie.

I've imported smaller sized panels and my movie works. I've also cut down the same jpeg to 2500X400 and it works.

I'd like to use the 3500 width image, but if I can't what is the maximum dimension of a jpeg image i can import?

Oh, my movie is 700X440 if that makes a difference.

Thanks,

Hello Flashers )
I have a 600k swf file which I am trying to reduce.
It has a tiff file that is 1.2 mb and allot bigger than what it is on
stage, so I resized it in photoshop to a 115 px width / 145 px hight, the same size its on the stage. but when I import into flash it becomes 6px by 7px,
than if I try to bring it back to 115/145 it becomes pixelated..
I don't remember this happening to me in CS2

JPEG Imported Into Movie Is Wrong Size?
Hello all,

I am having a very frustrating problem. I am trying to import a JPEG into my Flash movie, but every time I do, it shows up as being far smaller than it is in Photoshop, which is what I used to create it. When I attempt to resize it, it ends up looking all pixelly, understandably.

What am I doing wrong?!

Initial Size Of JPEG: Loader Component
Hi

I'm using the Loader component to load a JPEG from an external website into a swf of mine. The Loader is smaller than the images I retrieve and to counteract that I have the Scalecontent as true.

Loader dimension:

W: 312.9
H: 239.9

External Image:

W: 720
H: 480

The image is retrieved in frame 1, however, it doesnt scale to the size of the Loader, and rather displays as its actual size. But when clicking on a button I have created with actionscript gotoAndPlay(1), it retrieves the image again, but this time perfectly scaled to the size of the Loader.

How can I ensure the image is scaled to the size of the Loader the first time round?

Please help

Gallery Shape Scale Adjust To Size Of Jpeg
Hi everyone!

I've seen it done loads of times before, but can't figure out how to actually achieve the effect. I assume its some complex Actionscript, but can't find any examples on the internet that I can use.

I've got a selection of jpeg images that i want to load from a folder. Some are portrait, some are landscape, hence the need for the gallery shape to adjust its scale to the dimensions of jpeg +5 pixels on edge side for a border (so +10px to each the H and W values of the jpeg). I want this to tween and work whatever shape or size of image is in the folder.

Alongside this i want thumbnails of the images loading using a clean preloader, nothing too fancy.

If anyone has some code to get me started, or even better a link to a useful site, I'd be most grateful!

Like I say, I've looked on Flashkit, all over Google and a number of other Flash sites but haven't found what i'm looking for.

Cheers!

Why Does Flash Increase File Size Of Imported JPEG?
Sorry if this is a daft question, but I saved a JPEG in Photoshop and the file size was 20kb. I imported it into Flash and got info on the bitmap. It says the original size of the file is 120kb. How the heck did that happen? Why did Flash increase the 'original' size of the jpeg when it imported it?

Loaded Jpeg Won't Go Away + X,y Problem
Hi

I have externally loaded jpegs using AS in an external AS form on a sever.
Everything seems to work great. The images are zoomable and everything. Check it out. http://www.members.shaw.ca/creatifdesign/

There is ONE problem and it's BIG.

When you click on any other menu links the previously loaded jpegs don't go away.

The menu links already have AS telling the play head to go to the appropriate frame labels like this.

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("contact");
}

So how, where and what AS do I add to "clear" any previously loaded jpegs?

Check If Jpeg Has Loaded
I searched the boards, googled it but I don't come accross any good solution.

Is there some standard script wich cheks if the jpeg is fully loaded then executes another movie to play.

This is how I preload the jpeg :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
total = _root.beeld.pictures1.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.beeld.pictures1.getBytesLoaded();
this._xscale = (loaded/total)*100;
_root.percent = Math.round((loaded/total)*100);
}

Then I check if it has loaded completely and want another movie start playing.
Well this part isn't working :

if (_root.percent == "100") {
_root.beeld.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

What's wrong here?

Specifying Location Of Loaded Jpeg
Hi there,
I'm using the LoadMovieNum command to load a jpeg file from a website. I have it loaded correctly but I'm not sure how to specify the location of it in my movie. If I use this command to load another swf file, I just put this.x = number and this.y=number in that swf file and it will go to that location. Obviously I can't use this method for a jpeg file.

Centering Loaded JPEG In MC
Hi guys. I've looked all over the forums for an answer to this. Basically I want to know how you can load a JPEG in a MC and keep it centered?

For example: I'm working on a photography site. Some pix are vertical and some horizontal. Each shows up in different positions according to their top left corner.

How can you work around this and have them be centered in a movie or area? I will gladly PayPal anyone $40 for a solution!! (Yes I am that desperate for a solution!)

Thanks for any help!

How Do I Check If Jpeg Is Fully Loaded?
I know in Flash MX I can load in jpegs with loadMovie(). What I'm wondering is, how can I check (maybe using Actionscript?), whether that image is loaded (showing) or not?

Second question is: I notice that images loaded this way don't show up until they're 100% loaded, right? Is there a way to make it load progressively?

Thank you for any help,

i want to centre the loaded jpg in the movie(and not the movie itself)..problem is i'm using a variable to reference the jpeg.
how do i get the width and hieght of my loaded jpeg and then apply it so i can centre it in my holder_MC(which is the same size as the stage)

//this works fine
on (press) {
_global.newimage="pict1.jpg"
loadMovie(newimage,"holder_MC");

//this does not work!...WHY?
newimage._x=(stage._width/2)-(newimage._width/2)
trace(newimage._x)...//returns "undefined"

please help me figure this out!

Masking A Loaded Jpeg SetMask?
Alright, I am given up on trying to figure this problem out, but hopefully someone else might have some insight.

I have my main movie, from there I load my other pages with loadmovie into an empty clip, so within that clip I am trying to do another emptyclip with a mask, in which I will swap out the picture to be loaded. I have tryed having a empty movie clip in the timeline and it doesn't achieve what I need, so I have tried doing it with actionscripting and using

_root.emptyclip.createEmptyMovieClip("imageholder" , 1);
_root.emptyclip.loadMovie("image1.jpg", _root.emptyclip.imageholder);
_root.emptyclip.imageholder.setMask(_root.emptycli p.mask);
and so on...

The image loads great, but the setMask I have never used before and I am not exactly sure how to do it.
Does it need to already be in the timeline?
Can it be a mask layer already in the timeline?
When you specify it as a mask in actionscripting does it not show at all after you publish?

Also if anyone knows how to assign a link to the jpeg that has been loaded that would help a ton!

Thanks for taking the time,
Eric Ehle

Placing A Frame Above Loaded Jpeg
ok this is my problem i am loading images from my server.. so far so good. Now i want to add a layer within the movieclip that that holds the image Above the image so as to act as a frame.

//cycle is a variable in my movie

this["newClip"+cycle].loadMovie(location);
this["newClip"+cycle].attachMovie("frame",
"frame"+cycle, 10);

is this the right code, am i on the right path?
is it because using load movie the image actually REPLACES the empty movie clip. I'm abit stuck.. but in the above code the load movie bit works just fine.

anybody have any ideas

Width Of A Loaded Jpeg Image

Then I need to known the size in pixels of each created movieclip to place them correctly in my main clip. Unfortunately the properties _width and _height of each clip returns always 0. Why? Do you know a trick to recover the size of the image? ( I have to find a simple solution because my program must load about 1200 different pictures )
