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

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!

Help!

Flash To JPEG?

JPEG Substitute For Flash
When someone doesn't have Flash installed (what kinda browser are they using?) or if it's just disabled or what not, what is the code you need in order to provide alternate JPG or Code for the Flash area content.

I know you could create a javascript program to detect it and then either show the JPG or embed the SWF, but is there code that's built into the Flash Object or Embed tags?

Loading A Jpeg Into A Swf With Flash 6
I'm loading a jpeg into a movie clip in a swf with flash 6 with the loadMovie function, and it works perfectly
But I wanted to restrict the size of the file that comes in...
say something like...
if the picture's width is greater than 500, shrink the image proportionately to make the width 500
if the picture's height is greater than 400, shrink the image proportionately to make the height 400
but I'm not sure how to change the size of the jpeg as it's loaded in. I tried defining the size of the movie clip that it's loaded into, but it doesn't effect the image. Anyone know if this is possible, or does the jpeg pretty much have to be the size I want it before I load it in?

JPEG. Quality In FLASH.
Question:

I work in photoshop to save all of my images for the web,
by the **save for web** option.

I am on a Macintosh with a plasma flat screen, and I optimize the images usually around 60-70 percent, and don't ever see any pixelation.

After, I published my site, and viewed it on, PC's and other older monitors, the JPEG quality looks like ****e.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Check My site: www.carpeinternational.com

look at jpegs. give me some info..

cheers.

happy 300th post to me!

Bad Quality Jpeg An Gif In Flash

anybody got suggestions? (working in flash 4)

Flash 6.0 External JPEG Tip
Hi,

I've just this minute, found a resolution to
the 'streteched pixel' effect sometimes
noticable on jpg images when they're loaded
into placeholders.

Sometimes, you get this:

Top pixel row is duplicated, creating
a stretched pixel effect.

Even if you try changing the placeholder's
X or Y position to 240.0 co-ordinate for
example, there is no change . . .

. . . but on close inspection, this is only
true when co-ordinates are changed when the
stage is at 100%.

If you zoom in to the stage to about 800%,
you will find that the 240.0 co-ordinates
that you've entered at 100%, have actually
changed to something like 240.1 or 240.4
which causes the off-pixel effect.

With the stage at 800%, simply change the
co-ordinate back to 240.0 and then try
viewing the result.

It should now look like this:

Pixels are all correct.

Note: I've only tried this in Flash 6.0

Oops - Just noticed that I posted this thread
from a Boadroom thread I was reading.

Would someone be so kind as to move it some
place more appropriate. Thanks.

Flash Strips 1px Of My Jpeg
Hi there,

I'm working with flash mx 2004, but I want a v6 compatible swf in the end.

When i place a jpeg in my movie and i export it to a v7-swf, everything works fine, but when I export the same fla to a v6-swf my jpeg is incomplete. On the right and the bottom border of the pic a 1px line is missing.

Any ideas how to circumvent this issue?

Thanks in advance

Webcam-> Flash-> PHP-> Jpeg
I was wondering if it wouldbe possible to let flash take pictures with a webcam (eg when a user clicks a button), then send this pictures to the $_POST array in php and, then display a jpeg of it... for example to make a collection of pictures of visitors on your site.
And all this without Communication Server. I know that you can access the webcam with flash, but can you send its data through php to the server?

Jpeg Quality In Flash
I'm currently creating a flash site for a photographer and the image quality is becoming a problem. The Jpegs seem to really decrease in quality when published to the web. I have put the "Quality = Best" script in the first frame of the movie but my general question is....

do jpegs just look better in non-flash sites?

[MX] Upload A Jpeg With Flash And Php?
I am new to action script and new to php. Looking at some previous threads, I was able to create an email form in flash with php that included basic stuff like name, email address and a message.

Is it possible to set it up so that the user could also attach a jpeg through the form? Any help is much appreciated.

Here is the action script I have so far on my submit button:

Code:
on (release)
{
var sMessage = "Fullname:" + tFullname.text + "Email: " + tEmail.text + "Subject: " + tSubject.text + "Message: " + tMessage.text;
lvSend = new LoadVars();
lvReply = new LoadVars();
lvSend.msg = sMessage;
lvSend.address = "evilredcardinal@yahoo.com";
tFullname.text = "";
tEmail.text = "";
tSubject.text = "";
tMessage.text = "";
lvReply.onLoad()
{
tName.text = "";
}
lvSend.sendAndLoad('mail.php', lvReply, 'POST');

getURL("http://www.texasclay.org","_self");

}

And here is my php code:

Code:
<?php
$message = $_POST["msg"];
$address = $_POST["address"];
mail($address,"E-mail Form Message",$message);
?>

Thanks!

Export To PNG / JPeg From Flash On The Fly Using AS3?
Hi there everyone,

Thanks in advance for any answers...

I'm looking for an efficient way to export the content of my Flash movie as a PNG file or Jpeg.

I created a version in AS2 which got the pixel data for each pixel, compressed it using my own algorithm and then sent it to an ASP.Net file but the problem was it took a while to run the analysis of the file in AS2 and pass the data to ASP.Net (around a minute for each and sometimes caused Flash player to crash).

I was told there was a simpler way to achieve this in AS3.

Does anyone know how??

Thanks very much.

Export JPEG With Flash/PHP Help
Hi guys,

I have downloaded the source file for the Export JPEG with Flash/PHP sample from http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/print_screen/ . What this script does is it lets you print the flash screen you have using the new flash.display.BitmapData class.

I was able to run it on my server however I also want to be able to save the jpg image that it generates on a folder on my server. What I did is I added a an image file name in the imagejpeg() function

imagejpeg($img, "filename.jpg", 90);

The image is being saved on my server however, now the image is not being displayed on the browser. Both on IE and Firefox.

I hope someone has the answer on this.

Thanks,
Chris

Import Jpeg's Into Flash 8?
I'm doing a flash animation and I would like to import one of my jpeg's into the movie (http://kimages.be/share/79510107.jpg). Now so far the only way I have been able to do this has resulted in a pixelated image and I need it to look just as good, its not a complicated image if you look at it.

Any help at all would be great.

A Flash That Creates JPEG?
Hey guys,

Or more precisely, a flash application that export jpeg files.

Can anybody tell is it possible to use flash to create an application that, it create jpeg files and allow the user to store the file into their computer?

I'm actually trying to create a greeting card page that allow users to "write" on the greeting card rather than having a space outside of the greeting cards like normal greeting cards sites.

So after the user type whatever he wants to on the greeting cards, he could click on a button and export the greeting cards in jpeg form, with the text he typed on the greeting card.

So its just my crazy idea but i'm wondering if flash could help me to achieve this?

Many thanks in advance.

Download Jpeg From Flash
How can I make a jpeg that is used in flash downloadable?

If i have a sample picture of the file and then a text button under it that says "Download This Picture" what do I need to do to make that picture be downloadable once the end user clicks on the button?

thanks guys

p.s. i'm using as2

Hey i also need to know what the as2 code is to have a new swf load ontop of the entire movie or the top most level or at least be able to pick the level that this new swf will load into IDK like level 70 or something high like that.

this.newSwf_btn.onRelease....

something like that

Just figured out the 2nd part to my question, i used

on (release) {
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("yourSwfFileName.swf", 70);
}

After creating the variable & the listener.

thx

Animating A Jpeg In Flash
I was wondering if there is any way to get a jpeg moving across the screen smoothly without it flickering. I have tried increasing the frame rate but that has not helped, used the easing and tried to trace the bitmap.

the image size is a 590x380.

they would like the image to move from the right onto the screen and then off the screen to the left.

thanks.

No Flash? > Load Jpeg...

Controlling Jpeg's In Flash....
Ok, this is quite a hopeful post....

I have an image that has been sliced into many smaller images via photoshop, via a grid. These images have then been imported into flash, where I want to place each in it's own movie clip.

Problem is, that if I go ahead with my plan, there will be about 200 or so mini-images and it would obviously take a while to make each one into a movie clip manually.

I'm looking for a way to get flash to loop through all the mini-images in the library, and dynamically put them into movie clips.

Any kind of method or function for manipulating images in a similar way to attachMovie or duplicateMovieClip works for movie clips would be ideal but I'm not aware of any such thing existing....

Any pointers to resources or custom written functions that might be helpful would be welcome. A complete solution and I'll send you $500,000 (maybe).

Thanks for taking the time to read this...

Flash Window Into A Wallpaper (or Jpeg)
flash window into a wallpaper image (or jpeg)

I am making a flash site where the user (a child) creates an on-screen image in the flash window,

then I want the user to be able to press a button that would "take a picture" of the flash window contents and makes it the wallpaper. (no movement or interactivity; just a flat image)

This would be easy to do if it weren't a flash window in a browser;
for example if the image was a jpeg image in the browser they could just hold down the right mouse button and "save as wallpaper"

1. Is there any way to do this in flash?

2. Is there any way to trick the browser into seeing the flash movie as a single image (like a JPEG) so the user could right-click save it as wallpaper?

3A. I believe Flash Generator can create a GIF image from the users flash file, but I can't afford Generator.
3B. Swift Generator doesn't create JPEG or GIF images, Correct?
3C Is there any other software out there that does this?

4. Are there any other ways to convert the active flash window into a solid, flat image? (Like a JPEG or GIF)
Macs used to have a "print to file" function. Does this exist on the PC?
What about the print screen/window key which captures the image to "clipboard". Any way to use that?

I would like to make it work w both PC and Macs but will settle for PCs if I have to.

Thanks a lot. This sounds so simple...

Download JPEG From A Flash Projector?
Hello folks,

got a couple of questions for ya:
1.Does anyone know how to download a JPEG from a Flash Projector (.exe) into the user's computer harddrive directly? The projector will load automatically from a CD-ROM and all the JPEGs are within that same CD (the same root directory with the .exe file too).

I've managed to open up a new window browser and the JPEG is 'downloaded' there. So the user need to take an extra step by right-clicking that image and "save target as". Is there a way to do this straight away when you press the download button inside the projector (instead of opening up a browser window first)?

2. My projector is set to fullscreen, so all of the new windows that contains the JPEGs, open behind my projector. Is there a way to make these windows open in front of my projector without setting the "fullscreen" to false ?

Detect Flash Or Show Jpeg - HELP
Hello everyone,

I have a problem that I need help with, my client has requested that if a person visits their website and does not have a flash player installed in their browser, a jpeg must be displayed instead of flash. For some reason the client doesn't want their website visitors to have to download the player if they don't want to.

I remember we could set this option to display a jpeg instead of flash in Dreamweaver 3 but can longer find this option in MX, is there any code I can use or a form of flash detection script that can help?

Thanx

Saving Flash Movie As A Jpeg?
Hi Guys,

Im building a custom t-shirt flash application. Once the the t-shirt is colored and designed i would like them to be able to save the movie clip or even the whole flash as a screenshot (jpeg) from a simple save button.

I have seen it been done in director, is flash capable of doing this??

Heres the example link:

Flash Built In JPEG Encoding?
Hi everyone.

I'm pretty new to Flash, so I'm not familiar with action scripting. I'm currently doing a website in director which involves the user uploading an image to the site. Unfortunately, shockwave doesn't have built in JPEG encoding, and uploading the image uncompressed would be too time consuming. There are however some pretty expensive xtras out there, which I'd rather not use.

I was just wondering if Flash had the ability to encode images to JPEG? If so I could probably pass the image to a flash movie, encode it and then pass it back - or upload it from the flash movie.

Or if that ain't possible, can anyone suggest anything else I could use to encode the image?

Thanks!
