:slight_smile: Thanks Phil.

OH yeah, and Marz, I know Flash can only load in non-progressive .jpg images, but I had to add .gif in there because the only images I had up in that folder are .gif format, so for testing reasons I used that.

63

Yeha manā€¦ Thatā€™s coolā€¦ Iā€™ll see what I can whip up here.

You said you wanted it to load up the file name, width and height right?

64

Yep:)

You have no idea how much that would help me.

If I were in a class for server-side FLash I would get an F-- and I am not talking about a decrementing F variable :stuck_out_tongue:

<?php
$dir = opendir(".");
$packet = "images=";
while($file = readdir($dir))
{
   if($file=="." or $file=="..") continue;
   $dotposition = strrpos($file, ".");
   $filename = substr($file, 0, $dotposition);
   $extension = substr($file, 1 + $dotposition);
   if($extension == "jpg" || $extension == "gif")
   {
      $size = getImageSize($file);
      $height = $size[1];
      $width = $size[0];
      $temp = $temp . "$filename.$extension::$height::$width::";
   }
}
$final = $packet . $temp;
$filePointer = fopen("imagedata.txt", "w");
fputs($filepointer, "$final");
fclose($filepointer);
?>

This should print out the This should display the following.

http://www.fantom-stranger.com/~mentalconcepts/pics/images.php

then open up the text fileā€¦

http://www.fantom-stranger.com/~mentalconcepts/pics/imagedata.txt

Check it outā€¦ Thatā€™s the way it should display. Then you just need a function in flash to read itā€¦ Which would beā€¦



_root.onLoad = function()
{
   imgVars = new LoadVars();
   imgVars.load("url/imagedata.txt");
   loaded = FALSE;

   fileNames = new Array();
   imgHeights = new Array();
   imgWidths = new Array();
}

_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{
   if(loaded == FALSE)
   {
      if(imgVars.loaded)
      {
         index=0;
         imgList = imgVars.images;
         temp = imgList.split("::");
         for(i=0; i<(temp.length-1); i+=3)
         {
            fileNames[index] = temp*;
            imgHeights[index] = temp[i+1];
            imgWidths[index] = temp[i+2];
            index++;
         }
         loaded = TRUE;
      }
   }
}

See how that works out for youā€¦ I tested the php script but couldnā€™t test the flash script out yetā€¦ Tell me if it works sufficiently or notā€¦ It should load all the filenames, heights and widths into their appropriate arrays. I made the length of the array - 1 because my php script adds an extra :: at the end of the file that could be mistaken as real data :wink:

[EDIT]Screwed up the Flash Code a tiny bitā€¦ lowercase l instead of uppercase L lol[/EDIT]

66

SWEEET!!! Thanks man.

I canā€™t test it at this moment either, but I will be testing that laterā€¦ W00t!!!

67

coughā€¦ By the wayā€¦ I did test this out and it works like charmā€¦ Lemme upload the .swf to my server here really quickly to show you :slight_smile:

There ya go manā€¦ AND NO laughing at my buttonā€¦ I put all my heart and soul in that babyā€¦ hehehe
