I am currently revising my slideshow movie, because I want to make use
of the new Flash 8 features. Earlier I loaded the hires photo twice once
for the thumbnail, once for the real photo for in the slide. Now I want
to make use of the BitmapData class to make a clone of the hires photo
for the sliding animation.
Only I am not sure what the best way is to store the photo, currently I
am using a method which will change the _width/_height properties of the
Thumb movieclip. Does anyone good any advice how to solve my problem the
best way? I am currently making a new variable in the thumb movieclip
like. Using the following code where the clip variable is thumb movieclip:
// store the actual photo dimensions the clip
clip.photoWidth = clip._width;
clip.photoHeight = clip._height;
// make a copy of the original photo
clip.originalPhoto = new BitmapData( clip._width, clip._height,
false, 0xFF00FF );
clip.originalPhoto.draw( clip );
The method which includes this code is triggered when the photo is
loaded in the MovieClipLoader i.e. when the onLoadInit-event is
dispatched. Currently after all the photos are loaded and has been
resized to a nice small thumb image within a 75px x 75 box.
Does anyone know any examples which uses bitmapdata for a simple
slideshow? Somewhere I am unable to make it work, earlier I was able to
clone this originalPhoto-instance to a new one. Only then attach it to
the holder movieclip for the actual photo clip. Only somehow this caused
to make it become 3px by 800px instead of the real dimensions of the
photo. Sadly.
Yours,
Weyert de Boer
