Flash :: Smoothing Issue XML Images

Bitmap Smoothing W/ Loaded Images
I know there was a lot of stuff about this for AS2, but I cant seem to find anything more recentâ€”and I am still having this problem! I have a sprite, with a loader (which I dont add to the stage). The loader loads a large image, scales it way down and then draws it. No matter how I do this, the resulting Image is always aliased. Setting the stage quality to 'best' did resolve this, but the site took too much of a performance hit otherwise.

I have tried:
1. adding the loader to the stage, and setting smoothing to true when content loads
2. creating a new bitmap on load, with smoothing set to true (both in constructor and after)
3. creating a shape on load and using bitmap fill, with smoothing on

Sample code for all three is below, but #3 is the one I really want to use, because I need 9-slice scaling. What am I doing wrong?!!

Attach Code

=== #1 ===
_imageLoader = addChild(new Loader()) as Loader;
...
var bitmap = _imageLoader.content as Bitmap;
bitmap.scaleX = bitmap.scaleY = scaleFactor;
bitmap.smoothing = true;

=== #2 ===
_imageLoader = new Loader();
...
var bitmap:Bitmap = addChild(new Bitmap()) as Bitmap;
bitmap.bitmapData = (_imageLoader.content as Bitmap).bitmapData;
bitmap.scaleX = bitmap.scaleY = scaleFactor;
bitmap.smoothing = true;

=== #3 ===
_imageLoader = new Loader();
...
_imageBMData = (_imageLoader.content as Bitmap).bitmapData.clone();
_image = addChild(new Shape()) as Shape;
_image.graphics.beginBitmapFill(_imageBMData, scaleMatrix, false, true);
_image.graphics.drawRect(...);

Smoothing Images Using BitmapData And MovieClip.attachBitmap
When you load an image into a MovieClip then use that as the data source to draw() into a BitmapData object, the documentation says "Optionally, you can specify whether the bitmap should be smoothed when scaled. This works only if the source object is a BitmapData object." To me that implies that a second BitmapData object is needed in order for the optional [smooth:Boolean] parameter to work when set to true.

We found we didn't need to "double buffer" in this way when using MovieClip.attachBitmap() with the [smoothing:Boolean] parameter set to true. We did run into another problem though. This problem only manifests itself when you run the SWF as part of an HTML file running from a local web server like http://127.0.0.1. Here's the problem: images are loaded dynamically (URL's pulled from assets.xml) and the ones that are loaded locally from a directory on the same machine load and are smooth and distortion free. Other URL's point to a remote host. The images loaded via a remote source (example) do not "smooth nicely" running the exact same code as the local images. The remote images are shimmery and exhibit update artifacts. If you run the exact same page not via an http:// web sever i.e. - just loading the html page into the IE, then the remote images do get nice smoothing when animated.

Is there some magic to get BitmapData loaded from a remote source to smooth correctly when run from a local web sever? For our internal demo we removed any remote URLs so we could demonstrate that Flash does provide the ability for nice smooth animations but it would be a good problem to solve.

I'm thinking this is some type of security sandboxing Flash Player control feature.

Turn Smoothing On And Off Dynamically Loaded Images.
Hi all.

I have searched and searched AND SEARCHED. but i cant seem to find the answer to whether you can turn smoothing on and off of dynamically loaded images. I have found tutorials on how to do this with embedded images but i need to dynamically load images and as they will be resizing on the fly i need to make all 36 images toggle smoothing on and off and having them all load in with smoothing on makes the file run extremely jerky as the smoothing is a major resource hog.

ANY HELP is appreciated.

AS2 - Image Smoothing In Flash 8 Using Dynamically Loaded Images
I have a flash slideshow widget I've developed in Flash 8.. it pulls in images from a folder and text via xml. Unless I use images which are 2000x2000+ resolution and 150+ dpi when they zoom in/out in the movie they are really shaky. I have a feeling this has to do with image smoothing in flash 8.

Can anyone help me fix this? I'll pay.

You can reach me at amh@1dawg.com & ill send u the source so u can take a look.

Here are some links I found:

[F8] Dynamically Loading .png Images, How To "allow Smoothing"
Greetings all,
i'm working on a project where i am dynamically loading .png images (getting them from XML, currently using loadMovie), and since i am rotating these images (randomly), i need to find a way to have the "allow smoothing" option enabled... otherwise they obviously come out w/ .jpg compression (since that is the Flash default) and look like total poo when rotated.

is there a way to use loadMovie (or some other method), load a .png, and tell Flash to allow smoothing / or treat it as Lossless GIF/PNG?

As always,
TIA

Is There Anyway To Batch "allow Smoothing" On Images?
Hello,

I have a 300 images that run as a frame by frame animation and i am wondering if there is a way to allow smoothing on all the library images instead of doing them one by one.

thanks in advance!

Faster Option Than Bitmap Smoothing? Or Speed Up Bitmap Smoothing?
Hey,

Is there any way to speed up bitmap smoothing? or to achieve the same effect with something less processor intensive? Or maybe a way to reduce the amount that it smooths or something. Btw, when I say speed up I mean less processor intensive.

In the project I'm currently working on the image must be rotated and scaled smoothly to 1.5 times it's starting size. If there is any different way to achieve a smooth-ish image please let me know. Even if it's really complicated, if it's at all faster I want it hear it.

How I'm currently doing it is I load in the images (jpg) from an XML file, create a bitmap take the bitmap data from the loaded jpg and enable smoothing. Then I add that bitmap to a movieclip and then I do my stuff from there. It's a complex photo viewer. It all works, but I need to make it work using less resources.

Any ideas are MUCH appreciated! Thanks

Odd Issue With Images With Fades
Hey,

For some reason on some of my fades (namely the titanic painting and the baseball player) when it fades through them it looks like the paiting "jumps" to the side. What's up with this?

http://www.weathersdesign.com/adair/

It is in the same EXACT position throughout the whole fade.

Anyone know about this?

Thanks!

Issue Looping Images From XML
First, I am new to AS and appologize for my coding.
I have a slideshow that plays, while pulling images from XML. The problem I am having is that I can't seem to get it to loop. It loads up and runs through all the images, but after the last one, I get a list of errors. Starting with RangeError #2066. Please help point me in the right direction.

MovieClipLoader Issue With Images
Has anyone else found a problem with loading images using the MovieClipLoader class? I have found that it has a problem reading the BytesTotal and it doesn't seem to be a flash based problem but rather a Browser problem. When I ran into the problem Fireworks was showing the Bytes Loaded and Bytes Total the same. WHere Internet Explorer 6 was showing the bytes Total as 0 all the way through. Camino for OSX was working fine. The images all loaded fine in the end but the data was wrong. I thought maybe this was security settings or something but I turned off my firewall and still had a problem. Then I tested it by bringing my images into flash and creating SWF files for each image. This fixed the problem, but of course it will not work for every situation. I am guessing a fix would be to have a preloader that detects the issue and if there is a problem it would just indicate that that the item is loading and not show detailed status, but if there is a fix that would be great. Also, I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Please let me know and if I find a fix I will let you know

Also, it worked fine in the Flash Publish Preview Environment.

ScrolllPane Loading Images Issue
I have two scrollPanes on my stage, one is called "thumbs" the other is called "myScrollpane". When I click on a thumb image that image gets loaded into myScrollPane. This parts working ok.

What, I am having trouble with is getting my thumb images to display in my thumbs scrollpane. I have a movieclip called thumb_mc which containes a Loader component. I can get the thumb_mc to load into the thumbs scrollPane, but I can't get my images to display in the thumbs Loader component. What am I doing wrong?

Code:
var myScrollPane:mx.containers.ScrollPane;
myScrollPane.contentPath = 'Holder_mc';
thumbs.contentPath = 'container_mc';
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
MyPicVars = new LoadVars();
MyPicVars.load("Dadphotos.txt");

};
}
} else {

Pulling Dynamic Images/JS Issue
Hi All,

I have a problem I was hoping I could get some help with. I am using Zoomify (www.zoomify.com) to zoom in on products. The products are loaded up dynamically based on a sting that is passed after the URL. Example: http://www.grjd.com/zoom/dynamic.htm...mifyMinZoom=25

Problem is I am unable to get rid of IE’s ‘click to activate this control’ annoyance. Typically I use the general JS’s out there to remedy the issue, however the javascript that is currently available doesn’t jive with the javascript in the HTML (see below) that declares the variables that in turn pull in the dynamic images.

Does anyone have a remedy for this? Any help would VERY MUCH be appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg.

Dynamicly Moving Images Issue
I am working on a image slider. Pretty simple really its controlled by mouse position on stage. If its on the right the images slide to the right etc. once the image slides of the stage it gets moved to the other side behind the other images. It works with one problem the after a while the images start running into each other as they dont appear to be getting placed correctly or moving at the same speed. Not sure why some movie clips would be moving at different speeds then others when its the same code. The code is pretty simple so I am not sure what is breaking it.

the code is pretty simple I have a container mc called newsB in that are dynamicly created clips that hold the news images as you mouse over either the right side of the stage or left they move in that direction. if the newsMC goes of the stage it is relocated to the other side at the end of all the clips. It works but is bugy in the sense that images eventually start to run into each other.

Code:

function Scroll(Lspeed) {
if (_xmouse>Stage.width/2) {
for (p=0; p<=newsCount; p++) {
_root.newsB['newsMC'+p]._x = _root.newsB['newsMC'+p]._x-Lspeed/10;
if (_root.newsB['newsMC'+p]._x+newsMcWidth<0) {
_root.newsB['newsMC'+p]._x = wraperWidth-1;
}
}
}
if (_xmouse<Stage.width/2) {
for (p=0; p<=newsCount; p++) {
_root.newsB['newsMC'+p]._x = _root.newsB['newsMC'+p]._x+(Lspeed*-1)/10;
if (_root.newsB['newsMC'+p]._x>wraperWidth) {
_root.newsB['newsMC'+p]._x = 1-newsMcWidth;
}
}
}

}
var intervalId:Number;
function executeCallback():Void {
Scroll((_root._xmouse-Stage.width/2)/4);
}
intervalId = setInterval(this, "executeCallback", 20);
hope that makes sense
thanx dave

Rectangle Around Textbox And Images Issue
Hello people,

My question applies only when I work in 16 bit system resolution, so when I apply some text and apply 'Anti-alias for readability' with embedded chars, there is some strange filled rectangle showing around the text box. The same applies when I add any kind of filter to a text or image. You may see the exact problem by clicking on the link below:

http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/5171/ingmarksb2.swf

- Notice the rectangle around the text boxes ('anti-alias for readability' applied, it doesn't matters is it static or dynamic text)
- Notice the rectangle around the middle dark-gray box with glowing effect applied

I will say again, this problem occurs only in 16 bit system resolution, it is not applying in 32 bit. Is it possible that this is a nasty bug, or there is solution?
Please help me because this is getting really frustrating.
I am using Adobe Flash CS4, before that I used Macromedia Flash 8. Nothing changed since then.
Thank you for any possible answer

Issue With Loading External Images
I have no problem getting the image to load and even preloading the image. I wonder if I'm doing it the best way still, however, when I get it to load I dont know how to exit the loop and do something else.

What I'm trying to do is keep it on frame 1 while the image loads. When the image is fully loaded tell it to gotoAndPlay(2); but it's freakin out on me so I know my code is screwy.

on frame 1 I have all of the following:

Code:
stop();
image1.loadMovie("boxcovers/a67837_140h.jpg");
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
infoTotal1 = image1.getBytesTotal();
infoLoaded1 = image1.getBytesLoaded();
percentagea = Math.floor(infoLoaded1/infoTotal1*100);
trace (percentagea);
bar._width = percentagea/2;
if (percentagea >= 100){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
Now I have a movieclip instance named image1 - that loads the image no problem.
bar is my progress bar and since I'm loading a small image i wanted it to be 100 in half hence the /2 on the end.

If I keep the if statement at the very bottom commented out the image loads perfectly with the progress bar etc. and it stays on frame 1. The problem is when I leave that if statement in there it instantly goes to frame 2 before it ever finishes loading AND it doesnt play on frame 2. it goes there and stops which I dont even have a stop there.

Help is much appreciated

Thanks,
Cub

Preleaod XML Gallery Images - Issue
Hello all, (did a search on this and nothing that 100% addressed my problem was found)

I have created a scrolling XML based image gallery using a mix of differant tutrials around the web. The gallery works great and im happy with it, but when i came to add a preloader to the gallery it did not work.

Pre Loader script
frame 1

Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}
frame 2

Code:
gotoAndPlay(1);
Min thumbnail code frame 3

Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
thumbnails = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
thumbnails[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails_fn(i);
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images1.xml");
/////////////////////////////////////

function thumbNailScroller()
{
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);
scroll_speed = 30;
tscroller.onEnterFrame = function() {
if ((_root._ymouse>=thumb_mc._y) && (_root._ymouse<=thumb_mc._y+thumb_mc._height))
{
if ((_root._xmouse>=(hit_right._x-40)) && (thumb_mc.hitTest(hit_right)))
{
thumb_mc._x -= scroll_speed;
} else if ((_root._xmouse<=40) && (thumb_mc.hitTest(hit_left)))
{
thumb_mc._x += scroll_speed;
}
} else
{
delete tscroller.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}

function thumbnails_fn(k)
{
thumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumb_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc)
{
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(eval("thumb_mc.t"+k)._width+5)*k;
target_mc.pictureValue = k;
target_mc.onRelease = function()
{
_global.p = this.pictureValue-1;
getURL("javascript:Image('images1.html?p="+_global.p+"')");
//getURL("image.swf","_blank");
};
target_mc.onRollOver = function()
{
this._alpha = 50;
thumbNailScroller();
};
target_mc.onRollOut = function()
{
this._alpha = 100;
};
};
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k], "thumb_mc.t"+k);
}

Basically I put the preloader on the first two frames of the movie and the content on the thired, once loaded the preloader takes you to frame three (content frame).
Now I think that preloader is loading the page fine but since the xml gallery is populated dynamically once the xml function is loaded the preloader only preloads a small movieclip before its actiually filled with images.

Here is the file (site) I have been working on, I would appreaciate it if a more experianced user of flash could skim over and tell me where im going wrong. I have tried to add a preloader within the loop that populates the gallery but have had no lucl. any help is appreaciated.

Issue With External Images Loading
I have a little gallery that I made (nothing terribly complicated) and would like the images to fully load before they fade in. So the process would be, first image loads in, click next, preloader bar shows over the current image (still showing), then once fully loaded, replaces the last image with the new one fading it in... hopefully that makes sense...

why does this not work? i'm using a movie clip loader...

Attach Code

p = 0;

var img_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();//create an instance of MovieClipLoader

img_mcl.onLoadStart = function (target) {
trace(image[p] + " started loading at = " + img_mcl.getProgress(target));
};

img_mcl.onLoadProgress = function (target, loaded, filesize) {
trace(image[p] + " still loading... " + loaded);
preloader_mc._visible = true; //shows preloader
preloader_mc.load_mc._xscale = 100 * loaded/filesize; //expands the loader in relation to the loaded total
};

img_mcl.onLoadComplete = function (target, loaded) {
preloader_mc._visible = false; //hides the preloader
trace(image[p] + " done loading.");
trace("total loaded: " + loaded);
image_mc._alpha = 0;
fadeIn(image_mc); //fade in image
};

img_mcl.onLoadInit = function (target) {
//trace(image[p] + " is now initialized");
};

img_mcl.onLoadError = function (target, errorCode) {
//trace("ERROR: " + errorCode);
};

function nextImage() {
if (p < (total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
img_mcl.loadClip(image[p], "image_mc");
}
}
};

function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
img_mcl.loadClip(image[0], "image_mc");
}
};

function fadeIn(_mc) {
_mc._alpha = 0;
_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_mc._alpha < 100) {
_mc._alpha += 10; //fades in image
}
};
};

Issue With Linked Images (HTML)
Hi guys!

Long time lurker - first post .

I'm having some problems with loading linked images into Flash. The code is in HTML and stored in an external file on my server. This is an issue I just haven't found any solutions to, and I'm hoping someone here has some good pointers.

Let me start by providing you with the simple HTML code that's causing me the headaches:

Code:
<a href="http://www.link.com/link.html" target="_blank"><img src="getAdobeReader.gif"></a>
Now, at first everything looks just fine; the image is loaded and placing the mouse over the image correctly indicates that this is a link by changing the "pointy hand" icon. However, when trying to press the button nothing happens. When moving the mouse outside of the button it still looks like a hand. Now, when pressing the linked button a second time a new IE window opens and the correct URL loads correctly. The strange thing is, that the mouse needs to change position over the button before pressing the second time, otherwise it doesn't work (!). When replacing the image with a simple textlink instead it works perfectly.

Anyone ever seen this before? You can see this issue on the website I'm working on at this moment (work in progress mind you! ).

http://www.sjostaden2.se

Press the second button on the top menu (Föreningar), and then "Stadgar" on the left menu. You'll see the "get Adobe Reader" button on the right.

Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Patrick J.

Dynamically Loading Images Issue//
I'm doing a site where I have a main movie and sub movies that I load using the loadMovie command. In one of the sub movies I want to dynamically load images into a blank movie clip. I can get the images to load if the sub movie is viewed on it's own but, when the sub movie is loaded into the Main movie the images won't load. I guess I'm not sure what to replace the "_root" with. Here's the code (pic_holder is the blank clip):

on (release) {
_root.pic_holder.loadMovie("test1.jpg");
}

Since "_root" always references the Main move I tried the following variations with no success:

on (release) {
_parent.pic_holder.loadMovie("test1.jpg");
}

and

on (release) {
this.pic_holder.loadMovie("test1.jpg");
}

thanks

Images Within TextField (inline Issue)
Hi all,

Using a stylesheet and textfield, I know I can take some XML and create some styles text with rollovers and different fonts styles / sizes.
I've been trying to get this to work and have 2 issues, the first being quite minor.

The first issue is that if I wrap the XML data in CDATA, it's blank, although if I trace everything, it's there.
Taht's a minor issue at the moment though:

My major issue comes with this:
If I want to have some icons like smileys in a string of text, how do I get the images to follow inline?
I have everything set up correctly (as correctly as I think it should be and have read), but the text always breaks if there's an image.
If I change the CSS to inline, rather than block there's still no difference.

A solution I've thought of could be to scrap the stylesheet method and just leave the space where the icon would go blank.
Then use textwidth / character index and attach the icon graphic at the point found, but that would be quite a mission to calculate.

Anyway, here's the stuff I've got at the moment (attached all in zip file, but class codes below as well for a quick check )

Anybody have some suggestions?
Is this impossible?

Main class (document class)
Code:

package Smiley {

import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class Main extends MovieClip {

   private var __txt : TextField;

[F8] Preloading Issue- Images In Html Page
Im redesigning a site atm, and Im looking for a way to load images with flash instead of the old "one at a time"-oldfashioned way. I have 24 100x100 images to load so it wont look that nice if they don't load all together.

This is the site:
http://www.olssongerthel.se/nytt/index.html

Im also going to add a dhtml script that adds an OnMouse function which I don't know how to do in flash.. so Im looking for a way to make a flash preloader for the site, but the site itself shouldn't be flash.

I want a flash loader on top of the images (floating if possible) that loads all the images on the page, but the page itself shouldn't contain any flash after the loading is complete, because I'd like to use the dhtml script...

Is it possible? Anyone got any viable solutions?

No One Would Answer This On The Other Forum [F8] Scrolling Images Issue
I have six images that continuously scroll on mouseover, with only three visible at a time. On mouseout, not only do they need to ease while they stop scrolling, but they need to land back on the first three images.

Can anyone help with this code? I've been all over the web and flash forums and seen very similar issues, but so far haven't seen any code regarding the repositioning exactly where it started. This is my first post, I'm not very experienced with advanced actionscript... thanks!

Loading Images In Dynamically Created MC Issue
Hello !

i've been confronting myself to this issue for 5 hours now, i'm in need of help from the outside world

i'm trying to load a series of external jpg images.
What to be loaded is stored in an external xml file, which indicates the folder along with the file name pattern and the number of images. This is handy since images are numbered incrementally (image_1.jpg, image_2.jpg...)
Finally, i need to position these images as a strip, that is, one next to each other horizontally.

I get the info out of the xml file without issue, the url are correct (if i paste them in the browser, i see the image file) yet, it seems there is an issue with my loading mc code. Can you check and tell me what i'm doing wrong please?

ActionScript Code:
function doStrip(obj:XML)
{
var project = obj.firstChild;
var sequences = project.childNodes;
var project_width:Number = 0;
var pointerXpos:Number = 0;
var totalImageCounter:Number = 0;
var stripContainer:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("stripContainer", this.getNextHighestDepth());
stripContainer._x = 0;
stripContainer._y = 0;
stripContainer._height = 200;
for (var i = 0; i<sequences.length; i++)
{
var folder:String = sequences[i].attributes['folder'];
var numOfImages:Number = Number(sequences[i].attributes['numOfImages']);
var type:String = sequences[i].attributes['type'];
var namePattern:String = sequences[i].attributes['namePattern'];
var imgWidth:Number = Number(sequences[i].attributes['imgWidth']);
var sequenceWidth:Number = Number(numOfImages*imgWidth);
project_width += sequenceWidth;
for (var j = 1; j<=numOfImages; j++)
{
totalImageCounter++;
var filename:String = namePattern.replace('#', j);
var fileToLoad:String = absoluteUrl+'/'+project_folder+'/'+folder+'/'+filename;
pointerXpos = Number(pointerXpos+imgWidth);
instance = 'image'+totalImageCounter;
var myimg:MovieClip = stripContainer.createEmptyMovieClip(instance, stripContainer.getNextHighestDepth());
myimg.loadMovie(fileToLoad);
myimg._x = pointerXpos;

}
}
}

Thanks a lot in advance, i look forward to reading your advises!

Image Gallery -- Issue Transitioning Between Images
I have an image gallery that is supposed to load an image pause on that image while loading the next and then fade out/fade in simultaneously. The script seems right to me except when it comes to which function is supposed to run mc_01up or mc_02up.

Code:
if (current == 1) {
mc_02_up();
} else {
mc_01_up();
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

--Script--

Code:
//setup
delay = 3000;
filename = ["01.jpg", "02.jpg", "03.jpg"];
path1 = "http://130public.net/test_area/image_gallery/images/welcome/01/";
path2 = "http://130public.net/test_area/image_gallery/images/welcome/02/";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
//
mc_01.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = mc_01.getBytesTotal();
loaded = mc_01.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
}
};
//
function first_image() {
mc_01._alpha = 0;
mc_01.loadMovie(path1+filename[k], 0);
var current = 1;
if (loaded == filesize) {
fadein = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc_01, "_alpha", null, this._alpha, 100, 10, false);
slideshow();
}
}
//
function slideshow() {
myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, delay);
function pause_slideshow() {
clearInterval(myInterval);
if (current == 1) {
mc_02_up();
} else {
mc_01_up();
}
}
}
//
function mc_01_up() {
var current = 1;
var fadeListener:Object = new Object();
fadeListener.onMotionFinished = function() {
mc_02.loadMovie(path2+filename[k], 0);
mc_02.onLoad = slideshow();
};
fadein = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc_01, "_alpha", null, this._alpha, 100, 10, false);
fadeout = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc_02, "_alpha", null, this._alpha, 0, 10, false);
fadeout.addListener(fadeListener);
}
//
function mc_02_up() {
var current = 2;
var fadeListener:Object = new Object();
fadeListener.onMotionFinished = function() {
mc_01.loadMovie(path1+filename[k], 0);
mc_01.onLoad = slideshow();
};
fadein = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc_02, "_alpha", null, this._alpha, 100, 10, false);
fadeout = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc_01, "_alpha", null, this._alpha, 0, 10, false);
fadeout.addListener(fadeListener);
}
//

stop();
