Renaming Imported Jpgs

Preloader For Imported JPGs
Hi, I have a photo section in my site where when the viewer clicks, the JPG is loaded onto the main sector. Is there a way to make 1 preloader and apply it to every JPG. Or do I have to turn every JPG into a SWF in order for this to work?

Thanks again

Imported JPGs - Improve Quality?
Hi.

Please have a look at the following Flash MX movie that I created, and advise me on whether I can improve the quality of the JPGs that are loaded into the movie. There is a lot of pixelation (sp?) in the jpgs.

Canadian Army Flash Movie

Is it just a matter of importing larger files?

BTW, thanks to all who helped me with the preloader.

Masking / Resizing Dynamically Imported Jpgs
Hello All,

I am making a photo gallery app that I would like to be able to give to different clients and will be customizable. Right now it is all controlled by a txt file that allows the user to put all images in the same folder and and the text file assigns them their names that will be used in the scripting. I can get the images to load using either loadMovie() or loadMovieNum() , but the problems I have is either setting the xScale & yScale to maintain size consistancy. or masking out parts of the image that are beyond what I want to be the viewable area. I am also having issues in assigning the dynamicly loaded jpgs their _x & _y.

any help would be appreciated

Flash Crops Bottom And Right Of Imported Jpgs
I have MX Flash. I created a few jpgs in Adobe or Jasc, each image with a one pixel black border, that I imported into my flash library. When I place the images in a layer, I find that the bottom and the right pixel borders are eliminated.

I've tried this a number of times with a number of images - same problem.

Not sure what is going on, any suggestions on how to retain the black border (how to retain the ENTIRE image)?

Imported Jpgs Loose Color Intensity...
Being new to Flash I have run into a problem. I have really nice photographs in jpg that have great color intensity. When I import them in Flash "Place on Stage" the colors look boring and faded... What is the solution to this basic task?? I have tried importing the photos as jpg, png, psd and they all look horrible comparing to what they look like in Photoshop...

Thanks in advance!

Problems With Imported Graphics - Jpgs, Gifs And Pngs
When I import my graphics from photoshop, doesnt matter which type of file it is, they will "jump" or stretch when used in a symbol. The graphic will look fine in flash, but when i test or export, it becomes distorted. How can I fix this?? It looks very bad and I have no idea how to fix these graphic problems. I'm currently using Flash MX if that helps.

Renaming Mcs On The Fly
In my flash movie I have a control mc which works on an mc on the main stage, called 'part'.

I want to be able to have different mcs on the stage which can be renamed 'part' when I click on them, so that once renamed, the control mc will work on that mc.

I know if I do this I have to rename the mc I've clicked on to 'part' and then rename any mcs around called 'part' to something else - say just blank.

Well, I've got this action on a button in the mc:

on (release) {
setProperty ("/part", _name, "");
setProperty ("", _name, "part");
}

Which I thought would work, but it doesn't, it just ends up with the control mc being targetted, even though that is named 'control'.

I've uploaded the fla in case anyone fancies a better look! It's here

Many thanks

Jim

Renaming
When you go to the right side where you can insert all kinds of things such as radio buttons, text fields, etc. and you hit a radio button or just a button to insert it, the default name of that object is "radio button" or just "button." How do you change the name of those? Are they automatically buttons, or do you have to convert them to buttons?

Renaming MC's Dynamicaly. Best Way?
Hi,

I have the following code to dynamicaly rename MC's:

old_name = "_level0.butt_"+(c-1);
new_name = "butt_"+c;
setProperty(old_name,_name,new_name);

Now, "old_name" should be turned into(/evaluaded as) an expression, shouldn't it?

What's the way to do this? Is there a better way to rename MC's?

ThanX

Renaming Movieclips Using AS2.0
Hi all. Is there a way to rename a movieclip once it's been duplicated onto the stage?

I'm basically duplicating an MC onto the stage, moving it using the tween class, and then I want another one to appear and be tweened.

I'm only testing the possibilites at the moment but hope to be able to get hundreds of them appearing one after another so I've got them going in a function controlled by setInterval, but once it's duplicated, the last one disappears. Please help!

Here's the code:

function boxAnim():Void {
duplicateMovieClip("boxMC", "mc_Box", this.getNextHighestDepth);
new mx.transitions.Tween(mc_Box, "_x", easeType, startPosX, endPosX[i], speed);
new mx.transitions.Tween(mc_Box, "_y", easeType, startPosY, endPosY[i], speed);
i++;
if (i == 4) {
clearInterval(nInterval);
}
}
var nInterval:Number = setInterval(boxAnim, 1000);

After Renaming Duplicate Symbols?
More symbol weirdness. I want to swap a symbol with a similar-looking one, so I duplicated the symbol and edited the second one(after renaming it, of course). But after dragging the copy onto the stage, it reverts to the original!

Moreover, I tried this: dragging the original onto the stage, and then the copy. Both symbols appear correctly... but then I delete the original, and the copy instantaneously becomes the original! E.G., if I have a square symbol, and a circle symbol made from that both on the stage, the circle becomes the square when I remove the square.

What gives?

Renaming Movieclip With Variable
I have a bunch of movieclips named "mc_Img_0", "mc_Img_1", etc. What I cant figure out is how to target a certain movieclip using a variable within a function. Here's an example:

for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
var renamedBtn:MovieClip = this["btn_Img_"+i];
renamedBtn.onRelease = function() {
mc_Whatever.gotoAndStop(3);
};

Unfortunately, I'm not using a for loop. I'm guessing it would look something like this:

function changeThis(randomNumber:Number) {
var renamedBtn:MovieClip = this("btn_Img_"+randomNumber);
renamedBtn.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
};

But of course it doesnt work. Any help is appreciated.

Dinamically Renaming A Mc Instance
hi all,

how can i change dinamically the instance name of a dinamically created mc? is it possible?

for example:
i've a temp movieClip
and after it is created i want to change its instance name.

the goal is to create several mc's from a list of xml data... they'll be posicioned in the stage by the coordinates recived from that xml file.

and before create the next mc of the list.. i want to validate with a (hitTestObject()) if the last mc created... overlaps any one of the others previously created.

for example if all the movie clips previously created have the same instance name, as 'fix'.. and my new one as 'tempMc'.. a can make the test at once like this:

if (tempMc.hitTestObject(fix))

if it's true... i generate an alert message... if it's false.. a change the instance name 'tempMc' to 'fix' too... and start creating another mc from the xml list.

to much confusion??

i hope that any one can help me with this..

[CS3] Renaming Uploaded Files
This is the situation: I am trying to build an uploader that will take data collected earlier in the form before the upload occurs and then rename the uploaded file with it. I've gotten the upload itself to work, but thus far I have no luck getting any sort of renaming to work, not even by PHP. I tried Loadvars to transfer the variables over and rename it during upload, yet it says "NO" and rejects the post variables when the upload occurs. I even tried loading the variables into an external file and transfering them back to the uploader via cookie, all at the same time. Again it says "NO!", and the file is uploaded as __"filename".jpg. This is my code thus far:


Code:
stop();
////// Other Variables ///////////
/* XML Variable Transfer */
var xml:XML = new XML();

xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function(s:Boolean):Void {
var usercode:String = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.logged;
if (s) {
userlist.text = usercode;
}
};
xml.load("/system/flash/xmltest.php");

//////////////////////////////////////

import flash.net.FileReference;

var allTypes:Array = new Array();

var imageTypes:Object = new Object();
imageTypes.description = "Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.png)";
imageTypes.extension = "*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png";

allTypes.push(imageTypes);

var listener:Object = new Object();
_global.filename = file.name;

listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
log.text = "File selected for upload";
filename_txt.text = file.name;
size.text = file.size;
type.text = file.type;
name.text = file.name;
filetype.text = usercode + "_" + cardnameinput + "_" + file.name;
};

listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
log.text = "File upload/download cancelled by user";
};

listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
log.text = "onOpen: "+file.name;

listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
progress.mode = "manual";
progress.setProgress(bytesLoaded,bytesTotal);
log.text = "bytesLoaded: "+bytesLoaded+" bytesTotal: "+bytesTotal;
};

listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
progress._visible = false;
log.text = "File is uploaded";
};

listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference, httpError:Number):Void {
log.text = "HTTP Error :"+httpError;
// Write code here to do corrective actions

Moving And Renaming Objects
Hey all,

Here is my situation, and I'd appreciate any suggestions: I have a movie clip that contains an unspecified number of other movie clips. Let's say theyr are at 0x0 0,40 0,80. And I've given them names of it1, it2, it3.

Now, I can remove these objects by clicking a button. So, what I need to do is move the ones under the object that's been removed up, and also to rename the remaining objects. For example:

Let's say I remove it2. I have it1 and it3 left. I need it3 to go up to 0,40 and be renamed it2. I use eval() to access these movie clips, as their names are based on another variable which contains the number. How can I do this? Obviously, moving them is fairly simple, just adjust the _y. But how can I rename them?

Renaming Files On Upload

ActionScript Code:

fileRefList.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
fileRefList.browse();

function selectHandler(event:Event):void
{
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[yourdomain].com/upload/");
    var file:FileReference;
    var files:FileReferenceList = FileReferenceList(event.target);
    var selectedFileArray:Array = files.fileList;
    for (var i:uint = 0; i < selectedFileArray.length; i++)
    {
        file = FileReference(selectedFileArray[i]);
        file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
        try
        {
            file.upload(request);
        }
        catch (error:Error)
        {
            trace("Unable to upload files.");
        }
    }
}
function completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
    trace("uploaded");
}

I wish to rename the files uploaded as "img_1.jpg...img_n.jpg" where n is the number of files uploaded.

Any ideas?

Renaming Flash Folders And Publishing

The people I work with are not going to understand that they have to reset the publishing command to make sure Flash publishes to the correct folder and name since it's been changed. It's been my experience that it will look for the older folder name. Is there a way I can avoid this hassle? I don't believe there is, but I might as well try and ask.
