Here is my case - I have 10 movie clips on the view and in every movie clip I need to have a loaded picture that RSS. I've managed to get the first one loaded but I need the other 9 as well. Any ideas?
import com.adobe.xml.syndication.generic.FeedFactory;
import com.adobe.xml.syndication.generic.IFeed;
import com.adobe.xml.syndication.generic.IItem;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var rss:XML;
var rss_url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://btvnews.bg/lbin/rss.php?section_id=16105?pic_size=300x158");
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(rss_url);
rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoaded);
var rssCount;
var rssCounter = 0;
var l = new Loader();
var loaderContext:LoaderContext;
loaderContext= new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.securityDomain=SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = true;
Security.loadPolicyFile('http://img.bg.sof.cmestatic.com/crossdomain.xml');
function rssLoaded(e:Event):void
{
rss = XML(rssLoader.data);
var curImage = rss.channel.item[0].enclosure. # url;
l.load(new URLRequest(curImage));
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,doneIt);
function doneIt(e:Event)
{
var bit:Bitmap = e.target.content;
if (bit != null)
{
bit.smoothing = true;
}
}
placer.addChild(l);
After your rss load as you have loaded one images put a for loop for the item
for(var i=0; i < rss.channel.item.length;i++)
{
var img = rss.channel.item[i].enclosure. # url;
//rest of the code to load the image and adding to stage
}

I am new here and a complete noob when it comes to as3. Somehow I have managed to put this together with some help from different places. And now I turn to you guys :)
I need to put smoothing on my images and thumbs that Im loading from an XML file. I have tried a lot of things but can't get any of it to work and I get this error:
Scene 1, Layer 'as3', Frame 1, Line 27 1120: Access of undefined property e. -> So I know var bitmapContent:Bitmap = Bitmap( e.target.content ); is the problem. but I have no idea what to use instead of e. I
this i what I have so far:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.None;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
// Loads the first image//
var i =new Loader();
i.load(new URLRequest("images/1.jpg"));
mainLoader.addChild(i)
//Loads the XML file//
var picsXML:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE , xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("imagelist.xml"));
//Loads images into thumbs//
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void{
picsXML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
//trace(picsXML);
var bitmapContent:Bitmap = Bitmap( e.target.content );
bitmapContent.smoothing = true;
var thumbLoader:UILoader;
for (var i:uint=0; i<picsXML.image.length(); i++)
{
thumbLoader=UILoader(getChildByName("thumb"+i));
thumbLoader.load(new URLRequest("thumbs/"+picsXML.image[i].#file));
thumbLoader.buttonMode = true;
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, thumbClicked);
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tester);
}
}
//Loads large image when thumb is clicked//
function thumbClicked(event:MouseEvent){
//var bitmapImage:Bitmap = event.target.content;
//bitmapImage.smoothing = true;
var thumbName:String = event.currentTarget.name;
var thumbIndex:uint = uint(thumbName.substr(5));
var fullPath:String = "images/"+picsXML.image[thumbIndex].#file;
mainLoader.load(new URLRequest(fullPath));
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(mainLoader,"alpha", None.easeNone, .3,1,18,false);
}
//Removes the first image when thumbs is clicked//
function tester(event:MouseEvent){
if (mainLoader.contains(i)) {
trace("hej")
mainLoader.removeChild(i);
}
}
If i get your code true problem is here: u import an external xml file which is probably contain your url's and name of pic's. U can't turn ur xml file into a bitmap.
If u want smoothing on your pictures u need to it after load ur pics or thumb's.
Probably ur problem will fix like this :) Hope this will help
Functions with arguments work like this: function Name ( input arg Name : input arg Type )
Firstly, your function xmlLoaded(event:Event) cannot have an input called event
but then you try to do a Bitmap( e.target.content ); so for that bitmap line to work you'd have to change your input name to e like so... xmlLoaded( e : Event );
Secondly, var bitmapContent:Bitmap = Bitmap( e.target.content ); is incorrect.
This is more correct var bitmapContent:Bitmap = img_Bytes_Loader.content as Bitmap; set a Loader's content as Bitmap not XML content (text) as Bitmap (pixels).
Anyways assuming your XML file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Items>
<mp3>
<url> track1.mp3 </url>
<image> image1.jpg </image>
</mp3>
<mp3>
<url> track2.mp3 </url>
<image> image2.jpg </image>
</mp3>
</Items>
Then your code should look something like this below :
var imgLoader_XML : URLRequest;
var picLoader : Loader = new Loader();
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
{
picsXML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
//trace(picsXML);
imgLoader_XML = new URLRequest( picsXML.mp3[ index ].image ); //[index] could be replaced with [i] if FOR loop
picLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, picloadComplete);
picLoader.load (imgLoader_2);
}
public function picloadComplete(evt:Event)
{
yourContainer.addChild(picLoader);
yourContainer.width = 100;
yourContainer.height = 100;
yourContainer.alpha = 1;
}
Thanks for the inputs guys. It is greatly appreciated.
I figured it out. You were right, of course I can't put smoothing on the UILoader, so I had to target the content of the UILoader and run thumbLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, smoothing); each time an image is importet.
Here is the entire working code (maybe it can help someone else :) :
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.None;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Loader;
// Loads the first image//
var i =new Loader();
i.load(new URLRequest("images/1.jpg"));
mainLoader.addChild(i)
//Loads the XML file//
var picsXML:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE , xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("imagelist.xml"));
//Loads images into thumbs//
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void{
picsXML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var thumbLoader :UILoader = new UILoader();
for (var i:uint=0; i<picsXML.image.length(); i++)
{
thumbLoader=UILoader(getChildByName("thumb"+i));
thumbLoader.load(new URLRequest("thumbs/"+picsXML.image[i].#file));
thumbLoader.buttonMode = true;
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, thumbClicked);
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tester);
thumbLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, smoothing);
}
}
function smoothing(e:Event):void{
if(e.currentTarget.content is Bitmap)
{
Bitmap(e.currentTarget.content).smoothing = true;
}
}
//Loads large image when thumb is clicked//
function thumbClicked(event:MouseEvent){
var thumbName:String = event.currentTarget.name;
var thumbIndex:uint = uint(thumbName.substr(5));
var fullPath:String = "images/"+picsXML.image[thumbIndex].#file;
mainLoader.load(new URLRequest(fullPath));
mainLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, smoothing);
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(mainLoader,"alpha", None.easeNone, .3,1,18,false);
}
//Removes the first image when thumbs is clicked//
function tester(event:MouseEvent){
if (mainLoader.contains(i)) {
trace("hej")
mainLoader.removeChild(i);
}
}
I'm having an issue trying to get my code work for my Adobe Flash project. Basically I'm trying to get a button to play a random sound everytime it's clicked which works but I can't have that same code on the same frame for a different button which is why it gives me this error.
Here is my code:
import flash.utils.Dictionary;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("19103_b.mp3");
var ci_diese:Sound = new Sound();
ci_diese.load(request);
var request_two:URLRequest = new URLRequest("19203_b.mp3");
var d_diese:Sound = new Sound();
d_diese.load(request_two);
var request_three:URLRequest = new URLRequest("19204_b.mp3");
var f_diese:Sound = new Sound();
f_diese.load(request_three);
var play_liste = 0;
var dictSounds = new Dictionary ();
dictSounds[1] = d_diese;
dictSounds[2] = ci_diese;
dictSounds[3] = f_diese;
fireweapon_H3AR.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler (event:MouseEvent) : void {
play_liste = Math.ceil(Math.random () *3);
dictSounds[play_liste].play ();
ready_H3AR.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler (event:MouseEvent) : void {
play_liste = Math.ceil(Math.random () *3);
dictSounds[play_liste].play ();}
}
import flash.utils.Dictionary;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Readya.mp3");
var ci_diese2:Sound = new Sound();
ci_diese2.load(request);
var request_two:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Readyb.mp3");
var d_diese2:Sound = new Sound();
d_diese2.load(request_two);
var request_three:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Readyc.mp3");
var f_diese2:Sound = new Sound();
f_diese2.load(request_three);
var play_liste = 0;
var dictSounds = new Dictionary ();
dictSounds[1] = d_diese2;
dictSounds[2] = ci_diese2;
dictSounds[3] = f_diese2;
ready_H3AR.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler (event:MouseEvent) : void {
play_liste = Math.ceil(Math.random () *3);
dictSounds[play_liste].play ();}
}
Any way to rewrite this to accommodate more than one button? The first half works up until it repeats itself at "import flash." I've been searching everywhere for answers so please help!!
You should not name two functions or two variables the same, because the last ones are going to overwrite the first ones.
For example
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("19103_b.mp3");
is then overwritten
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Readya.mp3");
The same happens with the button ready_H3AR an the function listener mouseDownHandler
By the way, you don't need to import the classes twice:
import flash.utils.Dictionary;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
Usually when a task or a block of code is intended to be used many times, it's better to put it in a function to get a simpler and more maintainable code.
So you can do like this :
var sounds:Array = [
['01.mp3', '02.mp3', '03.mp3'], // sounds for the 1st button
['04.mp3', '05.mp3', '06.mp3'] // sounds for the 2nd button
];
var sound:Sound,
sound_channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
function play_sound(sound_name:String): void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('mp3/' + sound_name);
sound = new Sound();
sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, on_sound_loaded);
sound.load(request);
}
function on_sound_loaded(e:Event): void
{
// if you want, you can stop the current playing sound
// otherwise you don't need the SoundChannel
sound_channel.stop();
sound_channel = Sound(e.target).play();
}
button_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, on_press);
button_02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, on_press);
function on_press(e:MouseEvent): void
{
// to get values : 0, 1 or 2
var random:int = int(Math.random () * sounds[0].length);
// if it's the 1st button so pick the sound from the 1st sounds array
if(e.currentTarget.name == 'button_01'){
play_sound(sounds[0][random]);
} else {
play_sound(sounds[1][random]);
}
}
Hope that can help.
I have an application I'm trying to build where it will display a large map image (1920x1040 which is set as the base layer of frame one, then all my AS is on the layer above on the first frame too), then draw lines to it by reading in their coordinates from an external file (lines.txt) and associate a particular image with each line.
When a user clicks on a line, a ScrollPane should open, showing the image associated with the line they clicked on. These images are 1040 in height, and at least 4000px wide, so I want the image to fill the screen height, and then allow the user to use a scroll bar along the bottom to scroll left and right to see the full image.
Right now, I have it working where it reads in my lines.txt file, and draws the lines correctly. Then when I click on a line, it will load the corresponding image in the ScrollPane (along with a button to click that will remove the scroll pane and allow them to select a new line).
However, I can't get a horizontal scroll bar to work. I have it so that the space shows up at the bottom where a scroll bar should be, but there's no bar to drag left/right, and no way to scroll around.
I saw that it's possible to use dragging to scroll, which would be nice, but that hasn't worked either (it' now commented out), and when I have it turned on, when I click my Back Button and attempt to click another line, it throws an error saying,
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Your Loader Object has a scrollRect property that is built in.
It is MUCH easier to use a simple ScrollBar than a ScrollPane,
but mouse dragging is much cleaner:
see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/DisplayObject.html#scrollRect
To mouse drag:
private var scrollyThingy:Rectangle;
private var map:Loader;
// holders for the location of the view
//(to allow for cancelling the drag):
private var _cx:int = 0;
private var _cy:int = 0;
private var downpoint:Point = null;
public function init():void{
// Load your image:
/* I prefer to use embeded png files
or draw simple line images, but
Loader objects also have a scrollRect property
From this point I will assume your main image ('map') is loaded,
and 'scrollyThingy' is the part you want diplayed
I could not follow the code once you added the
loader to the stage very well...
*/
// to enable mouse dragging:
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
var w:int = 100;
var h:int = 100;
scrollyThingy = new Rectangle(_cx, _cy, w, h);
map.scrollRect = scrollyThingy;
AddChild(map);
}
private function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void{
_downpoint = new Point(event.stageX, event.stageY);
map.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DRAG, onMouseDrag);
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RELEASE_OUTSIDE , onReleaseOutside);
}
private function onMouseDrag(event:MouseEvent):void{
if (_downpoint == null)
return;
// the movement delta:
_dx = int((event.stageX - _downpoint.x));
_dy = int((event.stageY - _downpoint.y));
// (if the movement is backwards, use scrollyThingy.x -= _dx)
scrollyThingy.x += _dx;
scrollyThingy.y += _dy;
Loader.scrollRect = scrollyThingy;
}
private function onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void{
if (_downpoint == null)
return;
// new corner coords
_cx += int((event.stageX - _downpoint.x));
_cy += int((event.stageY - _downpoint.y));
resetListeners();
}
private function onReleaseOutside(event:MouseEvent):void{
// put it back where it was
resetListeners();
}
private function resetListeners():void{
scrollyThingy.x = _cx;
scrollyThingy.y = _cy;
Loader.scrollRect = scrollyThingy;
_downpoint = null;
if(!map.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
//(if it has one, it has them all!)
if(map.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DRAG){
map.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DRAG, onMouseDrag);
map.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
map.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.RELEASE_OUTSIDE , onReleaseOutside);
}
}
if you still want a ScrollBar, just scale it to your Loader dimensions less the
size of the viewport (xScrollBar.maximum = loader.content.width - scrollyThingy.width,
yScrollbar.maximum = loader.content.height - scrollyThingy.height) then you can use the
same listener for both bars:
function onScrollBarChange(e:event):void{
scrollyThingy.x = xScrollBar.value;
scrollyThingy.y = yScrollBar.value;
}
listen for a change Event and set the Loader.scrollRect.x and Loader.scrollRect.y
properties to the scrollBarx.value & scrollBary.value.
Note also that I did not include any value checking.
You should check the values before moving the scrollRect
to avoid rangeErrors
i.e. if (_cx > loader.width - loader.scrollRect.width)
_cx = Loader.width - Loader.scrollRect.width;
I am using the code below to load some data from an .xml file.
I am preloading all data (Audio Paths, Video Paths including a video from xml.
When everything is loaded complete i am loading the video in Frame 2 on FLVPlayback 2.5 with this code:
videoPlayer.source = videofile;
The problem is that the video shows a white screen for 3-4 seconds and then starts play.
At some other pc's it plays normaly when the loading ends.

Rather than adding the component directly to the stage you might want to try creating and adding it with ActionScript.
By doing this you can instantiate the FLVPlayback instance before you need to show it, rather than having to wait until you hit frame 2 on your timeline.
I can't guarantee it will fix your problem but it's worth a go.

I have done a simple code for a slideshow that dynamicly loads images from a subfolder, depending on what is listet in a text file.
the code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
public class slideshow extends MovieClip {
public var listLoader:URLLoader;
public var newImgList:Array;
public var imgX:int = 0;
public var container:MovieClip;
public function slideshow() {
container = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(container);
listLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("./slideshow.txt"));
listLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, initImages);
}
public function initImages(event:Event):void {
var imgList:Array = listLoader.data.replace(/^\s+/,"").replace(/\s+$/,"").split(/\s+/);
newImgList = new Array();
for(var line:int = 0; line < imgList.length; line++ ) {
if(imgList[line].indexOf(".png") != -1 || imgList[line].indexOf(".jpg") != -1) {
newImgList.push(imgList[line]);
}
}
loadImage();
}
public function loadImage():void {
for(var loaderNum = 0; loaderNum < newImgList.length; loaderNum++) {
var imgLoader = new Loader();
imgLoader.load(new URLRequest("./slideshow/" + newImgList[loaderNum]));
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imgInit);
}
}
public function imgInit(event:Event):void {
var imgBmp:BitmapData = event.target.content.bitmapData;
var img:Bitmap = new Bitmap(imgBmp);
img.height = 150;
img.scaleX = img.scaleY;
img.y = 0;
img.x = imgX;
imgX = (imgX + img.width + 10);
container.addChild(img);
}
}
well actually it works fine for me except for that the images are displayed in a almost random order.
i guess the code is loading some images too slow, so some of them are added to the movieclip although they are loaded after the one that should go next.
so what i mean :
1.png is loaded
1.png is added
2.png is loaded
3.png is loaded
3.png is added
2.png is added
so my question:
is there any other propper/better way to make that slideshow load images from a textfile where just the full names of the images ( that are in a subfolder ) are listet ?
thanks for any suggestions.
g.r.
Queue your image loading to have them ordered.
Rough example:
var queue:Array = []; // Populated from your text/whatever file.
// If you want the images to load from first to last you will need
// to use queue.reverse() once you get the filenames.
/**
* Beings loading the next image in queue.
* Ignored if the queue has no remaining items.
*/
function loadNext():void
{
if(queue.length > 0)
{
var imgSrc:String = queue.pop();
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(new URLRequest(imgSrc));
ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, _done);
}
}
/**
* Called once a Loader instance has finished loading a resource.
* #param e Event.COMPLETE.
*/
function _done(e:Event):void
{
e.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, _done);
container.addChild(e.target as DisplayObject);
// Begin loading the next image in queue.
loadNext();
}
