RE: [Flashcoders] trouble with adding/removing multiple preloaders on thumbs
Thomas,
I think the example code below addresses your primary concerns. The biggest
changes involve using a loaderArray to prevent overwriting previous Loader()
assignments, and also using getChildByName() to grab the relevant preloader
instance for removal. See inline comments. Let me know if you have any
questions.
So, did you work out your image panning interaction?
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
var myXML:XML = pics
IMAGE SMALL=images/pic1.jpg/
IMAGE SMALL=images/pic2.jpg/
IMAGE SMALL=images/pic3.jpg/
IMAGE SMALL=images/pic4.jpg/
IMAGE SMALL=images/pic5.jpg/
/pics;
var container1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var loaderArray:Array = [];
addChild(container1);
var my_images:XMLList = myXML.IMAGE;
var my_total:Number = my_images.length();
callThumbs();
function callThumbs():void {
for (var s:Number = 0; s my_total; s++) {
var thumb_url:String = my_images[...@small;
// Store each Loader separately as an array element
// so it won't be overwritten by the next. - KR
loaderArray[s] = new Loader();
loaderArray[s].load(new URLRequest(thumb_url));
loaderArray[s].contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,thumbLoaded
);
var preloader:starPreloader = new starPreloader();
// Name the preloader instance after the current url's
// filename so we can pick-up on it later. - KR
preloader.name =
thumb_url.substr(thumb_url.lastIndexOf(/)+1);
loaderArray[s].y = 105 * s;
// I am not putting the preloader 'in' the thumbnail,
// just overlaying it. - KR
preloader.y = 105 * s;
//add preloader to the container
container1.addChild(preloader);
container1.buttonMode = true;
// The next two lines caused reference errors for me - KR
//zoom.small.addChild(container1);
//container1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callFull);
}
}
function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void {
var my_thumb:Loader=Loader(e.target.loader);
// Display the thumbnail image behind the preloader. - KR
container1.addChildAt(my_thumb,0);
// Here is where we identify the preloader that
// corresponds with the current thumbnail image. - KR
var currentURL:String = e.currentTarget.url;
var preloaderName:String =
currentURL.substr(currentURL.lastIndexOf(/)+1);
trace(\npreloaderName =,preloaderName);
var preloader:starPreloader =
container1.getChildByName(preloaderName) as starPreloader;
TweenLite.to(preloader, 1, {scaleX: 0, scaleY: 0, alpha: 0,
onComplete:thumbFinished, onCompleteParams:[container1, preloader]});
}
function thumbFinished(mc:MovieClip, mc2:starPreloader):void {
trace(\nthumbFinished() called,mc.name,mc2.name);
//Remove the preloader
mc.removeChild(mc2);
}

[Flashcoders] localconnection in as2
Hi list, as I understand it, there is a send/receive limit of 40k to the localconnection object in actionscript2. Mostly the objects passed in my application will probably be under 40k, but the question is: how can you tell? Is there some way to grab the actual AMF object flash is going to try and pass and cut it up into pieces if necessary? Or should you serialize and cut up everything beforehand just to be sure? regards, Hans ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] localconnection in as2
-If you don't want to worry about a send/receive limit on a String sent, take a look at this post here. -If you just want to measure the size being sent, you can look at the part where the poster is dividing the length of the String sent by the limit. http://www.ultrashock.com/forums/actionscript/40k-byte-size-limit-on-localconnection-56395.html ...hope that leads you in the way you want to go. -- Keith H -- www.keith-hair.net Hans Wichman wrote: Hi list, as I understand it, there is a send/receive limit of 40k to the localconnection object in actionscript2.
