Flash :: Dynamically Loading Multiple Images On One Frame

Loading Multiple Images Dynamically
Ok, i've searched the Forums and tried to figure this out, with other people's examples, but I have no luck so far.

I am making a online catalog and want to dynamically load multiple JPGs at the same time, so that say, 6, jpgs will be shown on the stage at one time. I could go about this by making individual movieclips, but I want to make them dynamically. I'm not sure positive how to do this, and maybe it's staring me in the face, but if somebody could help me i'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Loading Multiple Images Dynamically
Hi Folks

Would appreciate some help on this AS3.0 problem. I'm reading an XML file no problem and getting a list of images.

The problem I'm having is trying to get them to load into dynamic movie clips.

The code is below if anyone can help, I'd be very grateful.

Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.text.*;

public class MyContent extends MovieClip {
private var externalXML:XML;
private var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
private var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("five.xml");
private var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
private var yPos=0;

public function MyContent() {
init();
}
private function init():void {

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
loader.load(request);

}

public function onComplete(event:Event):void {
var loader:URLLoader = event.target as URLLoader;
if (loader != null) {
externalXML = new XML(loader.data);
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var max:Number = externalXML.entry.length();
trace(max);
for (var i:uint=0; i < max; i++) {
var mc:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
mc.name="clip"+i
stage.addChild(mc);
mc.addChild(myLoader);
trace(externalXML.entry[i].img);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(externalXML.entry[i].img);
myLoader.load(url);
mc.x=0;
mc.y=yPos;
yPos+=150;
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imgLoaded);
function imgLoaded(event:Event):void {
trace("image Loaded");
}
}

} else {
trace("loader is not a URLLoader!");
}
}
public function linkHandler(linkEvent:TextEvent):void {
trace(linkEvent.text);
}
}
}
I am managing to trace that they're all loaded, they just don't display! Yet it works with 1 when not using the for loop.

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 Preloading Multiple Images
I've been searching on how to dynamically preload multiple images into my site. I know how to set it up to load dynamically each time someone clicks a thumbnail, but I'm looking for how it's done on "livebooks" where all the images of X gallery are preloaded so fast once the gallery is clicked, I'm assuming it's done dynamically because of the size of each image and the speed that "livebooks" allows. Any ideas?

Load Multiple External Images Dynamically?
I'm probably being an idiot here but is it possible to load a series of images into a dynamically created movieclip? I'm under the impression you can't create an empty movieclip and add frames to it dynamically?
Basically I would like the equivilant of loading a series of images into flash and placing them on seperate frames in a movieclip so they animate when the movieclip is played?

Preloading Multiple, Dynamically Loaded, Thumbnail Images
Hi,
I'm trying to preload 5 dynamically loaded jpegs... I'm stuck. Here's what I have so far:

Code:
//Preloader for images
allthumbs = _root.Content.gallery.imageall.image1_mc + _root.Content.gallery.imageall.image2_mc + _root.Content.gallery.imageall.image3_mc + _root.Content.gallery.imageall.image4_mc + _root.Content.gallery.imageall.image5_mc;
bytesLoaded = getBytesLoaded(allthumbs);
percent = bytesLoaded/getBytesTotal(allthumbs)*100;
percent = Math.round(percent);
imagePercent = percent;
preLoadBar._width = percent*3.4;
if (percent == 100) {
_root.Content.gallery.preLoader1._visible = false;
} else {
_root.Content.gallery.preLoader1._visible = true;
}
Any ideas?

Loading Images Dynamically
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..

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?

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

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

I have seen a lot of questions and support on loading images dynamically into Flash but I am pretty rusty with my Actionscript and have not used XML.

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.
http://gazler.com/bd/gallery.php

I have then printed the values from one of the photos in this page.

I can display the image width, height, filename, etc. fine, but when it comes to loading the image, I get an error.

Code:

The code is from the photo gallery in the tutorials.

Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Gaz.

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
Sam

I want the 1st instance/placeholder to completely load the image dynamically before the next instance starts to load the next image and so on. How can I ensure image1 is dynamically loaded before image2 and then image3 etc...

If I put each instance on a separate frame on the timeline will it stop on each frame until the instance is loaded before moving onto the next frame? I have seen the effect im trying to recreate on both:- www.rui-camilo.de and www.andyfoulds.co.uk

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!
