Controlling/Transofmring Dynamically loaded pics(jpegs) - file attached

programming flash
1

Hey all,

I’m trying to create this polaroid development effect, which has been tweened, problem is I would kie the pics to load dynamically into a placeholder MC. This is fine, but the JPG loads, flashes upa nd then disappears, meaning the effect is rendered useless.

File can be got here:

Please help :S

cheers.

Hi,

I’ve edited your file so it works.

The problem was taht in the firsts frames the mask didn’t exist.

PS.: can’t upload the file but the solution is to move the mask to the first frame

ok then, perhaps someone can explain, how I would load the jpgs dynamically and let the size of these affect the preloader, i.e. only if the jpg is fully loaded will the swf file continue to play.

please

Hi,

Sorry for not answering before (I’ve been away from computers)

I couldn’t see your problem (fast conection)

I had a look at you file and what you want to do is change the code in the second frame of your movie where it says:

[AS]
clipLoaded = getBytesLoaded();
clipTotal = getBytesTotal();
if (clipLoaded == clipTotal) {
play();
} else {
loaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/1024);
total = Math.round(getBytesTotal()/1024);
percent = Math.round((loaded/total)*100);
bytesLoadedOutput = loaded+“kB”;
bytesTotalOutput = total+“kB”;
bytesRemainingOutput = total-loaded+“kB”;
percentOutput = percent+"%";
gotoAndPlay(“loading”);
}
[/AS]

for:

[AS]

clipLoaded = getBytesLoaded()+_root.mono.getBytesLoaded();
clipTotal = getBytesTotal()+_root.mono.getBytesTotal();
if (clipLoaded == clipTotal) {
play();
} else {
loaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/1024);
total = Math.round(getBytesTotal()/1024);
percent = Math.round((loaded/total)*100);
bytesLoadedOutput = loaded+“kB”;
bytesTotalOutput = total+“kB”;
bytesRemainingOutput = total-loaded+“kB”;
percentOutput = percent+"%";
gotoAndPlay(“loading”);
}

[/AS]
