[Flashcoders] Dynamically Loading JPGs ~ Strange Behavior
I have about 20 jpegs that are dynamically being loaded into a swf. These images are loaded one at a time, fade in as the previous one fades out, and then eventually the loop starts over again, loading the initial image. I am using the MovieClipLoader Class to load them. I am, however, running into an odd problem. On the site's live server (Linux Box), the images don't always get loaded in to the swf and there is just 'white' space. I have this exact site on another hosting company's server (windows) and the issue never occurs. To resolve the issue, I have even tried to use a cacheBuster for the images (ex: image1.jpg?12345). This however still doesn't work. I have also tried using a Windows server on the live site, but it yielded the same result. In my mind. clearly this is an issue with the hosting company?. Does anyone have any thioughts about why this may be occuring?

Hi, Do you load the files case sensitive. Maybe this is your problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamically Loading JPGs ~ Strange Behavior
the reason it doesn't work live but does on local servers has to do with loading time. Have your graphics load, then display them. Normaly what I'll do is a simple load, and load all the pictures before anything displays. I don't know of a way of watching the bits loaded of the graphic so I will put in my own load time depending on how big the pics are expected to be. Normaly is a single secound before I start loading the next picture. Once all of them have been imported then I start the display. Not all the pictures are loaded at this point, but the first few are, and by the time it gets to the others they will be loaded to. Control the graphics with AS. If you would like a sample of what mine looks like, send me an email offlist and I'll be happy to forward you a copy.

RE: [Flashcoders] Dynamically Loading JPGs ~ Strange Behavior
Some of the JPGs might be exported with Progressive turned on. Flash can't display those (pre 8) so that might be your issue. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:flashcoders- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 01, 2006 10:24 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Dynamically Loading JPGs ~ Strange Behavior I have about 20 jpegs that are dynamically being loaded into a swf.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamically Loading JPGs ~ Strange Behavior
Of the solutions that have been suggested, I think the most likely one is case-sensitivity. Make sure to maintain the same case in naming and calling the files. It doesn't seem that loading time is an issue. If you're using the MovieClipLoader you're probably already using onLoadInit to display the new image. You may want to create a new loader for each image so that the current image isn't dumped before the new image is initialized. The problem definitely isn't progressive JPGs, since it's working on the Windows server. Marc At 10:23 AM 9/1/2006, you wrote: I have about 20 jpegs that are dynamically being loaded into a swf.
