Flash Tutorial: Dynamically Load External Images SWFs AS3

[j53iliff2]

Awesome man. I like it.

[mel2000]

Great tutorial. The only one that taught me to successfully load a swf into my timeline via ActionScript.

However, I noticed that the imported swf played only in an external viewer. Is there a way to use ActionScript to import a swf directly onto the stage?

[VCHoops]

Great tut, perfect pace, learn a valuable concept in reasonable chunks of time... great work, thank you

[KentAErvikAnimations]

Is it in any way possible to load diffrent pictures without going in to the code and change the names? Like if you have a folder containing, say 4 pics (random names), they load fine but later you want to change the pics without having to rename the new ones or going in to the code and tell it to get the new ones.

kind of loading a folder of pics without specifying all the pics names in the code.

Dude you saved my life(and work heheh), great tutorial. I was actually looking for a way to load the images on a presentation so I can feed the presentation by preparing the pictures every week for now, but this helped out a lot!, later will find out how to link to the actual database.

[laughingkuma]

your tutorials are always fantastic - you've no doubt got a lot of very indebted people around the world! Many thanks!

[DanHibbert]

Fantastic tutorial.

Easy to follow step by step instructions with explanations of the AS3 coding which make it possible to UNDERSTAND the coding and adapt it for your individual use.

Again, top job!

[TheProfileder]

Question:

I have a loader(movieclip instance) of 264px widht by 164pxheight. When I load a .jpg of the same size there´s no problem at all, but when i load a larger image the movie clip(loader) resizes to the image size.

¿How can i fix this?

[aznballer04]

can you load a swf that is in as 2.0 onto an as 3.0 flash site???

[arno8]

Very good tutorial. Is there a way to have AS cut the picture in such a way that it fits in the box i've drawn?

[brad828]

Ok, all the people saying "omg I just wanted the code" Nate is showing people who may not be as confident the whole process. Purchase any training material on the internet and it will be the same format. Well done nate - keep it up ;)

Hey, I'm working on creating a simple portfolio site for my Community Studies but I'm having some trouble with this tutorial. I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS3 and when I wrote my code, i got:

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

at flash.display::DisplayObjectCo­ntainer/removeChild()

at Portfoliopage_fla::MainTimelin­e/unclickFirst()

Help! I'll post my script!

[Peakaboo92]

var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pic1.jpg"); var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader (); load_1mc.addEventListener(Mous­eEvent.CLICK, clickFirst); load_2mc.addEventListener(Mous­eEvent.CLICK, unclickFirst); function clickFirst(event:MouseEvent):v­oid{ img1Loader.load(img1Request); img1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.a­ddEventListener(Event.COMPLETE­, loadNowFirst); function loadNowFirst(event:Event):void­{ imageArea1.addChild(img1Loader­); } }

[Peakaboo92]

function unclickFirst(event:MouseEvent)­:void{

imageArea1.removeChild(img1Loa­der);

}

[Seigu007]

narrator in this video is trying to sound like andrew kramer. what a fucking poser. you spend the first 15 minutes designing when all i wanted to know as the code to load external swf.

[gigigdesign]

you could have just jump to the first screen where you see an AS window man.... I think this was realy understandable for newbies....
