[Flashcoders] Big size Image and Thumbnail
Hello. I'm developing a sort application in Flash 8 / AS2 for manage big size images and scale/navigate thru them. I always have to load a big image into a MovieClip, and i have to make a similar-tool to photoshop navigation panel, so i have now to duplicate current scaled image in a small thumbnail into navigation panel. To avoid loading twice times the image (first in 100% and second in thumbnail navigation image) ... how could i copy content of first movieclip to second one with fixed size? thanks in advance ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

You can't really, but since the image is cached once it's downloaded the first time, loading it again into the thumbnail will be nearly instant.

You can use a single MovieClip as the source for as many individual bitmaps as you want, limited only by your CPU power. Look up the basics of attaching bitmaps and using BitmapData.draw -- that's all readily available in the manuals and tutorials. Then just create two bitmaps attached to two movieclips, and do this: // assume that source is the MovieClip containing the original image var matrix:Matrix; var normalScale:Number = 1.0; var thumbScale:Number = 0.25; // draw to the bitmap at the normal scale matrix = source.transform.matrix; matrix.scale(normalScale, normalScale); normalBitmap.draw(source, matrix); // draw to the bitmap at the thumbnail scale matrix = source.transform.matrix; matrix.scale(thumbScale, thumbScale); thumbBitmap.draw(source, matrix); Now the normalBitmap (a BitmapData object) has your image at full size, and thumbBitmap has the image at 1/4 size. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] Big size Image and Thumbnail
If you are using Flash 8+ you could use the Bitmapdata datatype to copy it to a new movieclip and scale it to thumbnail size I think.

Re: [Flashcoders] Big size Image and Thumbnail
I think he wants to load the big image and then load it again but resize it. If that's what you want, just load image with loadMovie or MovieClipLoader and once it has been cached, load it again (the same url) to a redimensioned MovieClip.

Re: [Flashcoders] Big size Image and Thumbnail
I fear it is not my solution. Image is 72Mb. The application i was making is a standalone one (not a web solution)... When i try to load the second one , the time is the double :/ 2007/8/23, Marcelo de Moraes Serpa [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I think he wants to load the big image and then load it again but resize it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Big size Image and Thumbnail
One High-Resolution Graphic explorer.
Before 3 seconds, flash load correctly that big size, and i'm trying
this inside my class:
{
(my class has the typical movieclip loader with addListener(this); )
.
public function onLoadInit(mcTarget:MovieClip):Void {
//Big size image is now loaded at 100% size !!!
//i have to copy scaled image to thumbnail for
//Navigation purposes like in photoshop
//Calculate factor
var factorH:Number = _mcThumbnail._height / mcTarget._height;
var factorW:Number = _mcThumbnail._width / mcTarget._width;
//copy bitmap with matrix transformation
_myBitMap = new
BitmapData(_mcThumbnail._width,_mcThumbnail._height,false,0x00FF);
_myMatrix = mcTarget.transform.matrix;
_myMatrix.scale(factorH,factorW);
_myBitMap.draw(mcTarget,_myMatrix);
//I catch it! - now i have the bitmap
_mcThumbnail.attachBitmap(_myBitMap,1);
}
but i'm not sure if it's going ok... at least now i haven't to make
another load but... i think the thumbnail is scaling the portion of
big image i see in screen, not the whole image...
Excuse my english :( i'm trying to explain it as fine as i can. Thanks

This is your first problem. I can't think of a single reason you would
have to load a 72 MB image into Flash. Could you tell us a little more

That might be a limitation of Flash. I'm not sure what happens when MovieClips and BitmapData are larger than the maximum movie size (which I think is 2600 pixels or so)... I would not be surprised if it messes up, though. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
