Question on loading jpegs

programming flash
1

Hi,

I found a few good components that simplify the task of loading dynanic jpegs. The prob is, not one comes with a preloader.

Anyone know of a image component that has a preloader?

If not, then i guess i will need to write the script which brings me to a few questions.

  1. If i load a jpeg into a MC (mymc.loadmovie(“photo.jpg”) how can i control the size of the image within the MC? It seems that the MC has no bounderies thus making the image hard to match up with the template on the main timeline.

Allso, i have worked with preloaders alot, is the concept the same for loading jpegs?

thanks for any answers, Danny

Hey there dna,

I’m not shure if I understand you correctly, but if you’ve embedded the .jpg inside a movieClip and you’re loading that into your main movie it will only fill the size of the empty movieClip you’re loading it into and that empty movieclip’s size you can control (exept if someone maximizes your movie or has a differant screen res.). You could also just use a frameless popup window in wich you can remove the the resize function and set your own fixed size.

		settings =  "toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=404,height=624";
OpenWin = window.open(page, "your.jpg", settings);
		break;
