URGENT! Deadline's over..preload jpegs

1

I’m making an image gallery and I want to preload each image per click instead of loading all the images at once. I don’t want to use load movie and make another bunch of swfs with an image in each!!

Is there a way to preload each image one by one using geturl?

you can do that by converting each of your jpegs into .swfs…

like … if you have an image… put it in your flash and add a preloader for that image… [ dont forget to put stop(); at the last frame ]

now go back to your photo gallery… you then call those images [ which you have converted into .swfs ] using

but.onPress = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);
loadMovie(“yourPicture.swf”, “container”);
container._x = 150 ; <-- the postition
container._y = 20 ; <— the position
}

the “but” [ in but.onPress ] is the instance name of the button that calls the picture… :slight_smile:

… try it … hope it works… :slight_smile:

maybe there are other ways of doing it… but thats how i do it. :smiley: and it works hehehe

Hey thanks. That helped a lot…

But, it’d be really tiring to sit and convert 40+ images into swfs one by one…well I’ve tried entering the name of the images for the ‘load movie’ argument as in :

loadMovie(“bush.jpg”, “1”);

And it does show the image…so, I simply have to place all the images together with the main flash file and it starts calling the files directly.

Now, the problem i’m facing is,

  1. Preloading these images…(no independent swfs…only images)
  2. Positioning the images in the main flash when loaded…

I really need help on this one …thanks a million…
