Very strange problem indeed!

[timmytots]

I've got a couple of flash movies that load images dynamically from a folder at the root level. I've named them pic1, pic2 and so on. And it was fine. The coding made them load and loop over and over. But now, for some reason, when i place another image in the folder the flash doesn't display it. Very weird. Any ideas? Thanks.

Your best posting it in the flash forums as its not really a graphics problem.

this post realy should have been moved by sypher...

can you show us any actionscript regarding the loading of images?

[timmytots]

I'm sure it's got nothing to do with what's within Flash because I've tried putting different images in the folder and they are fine, they load. But it's in regard to the latest images i've stuck in there, which i screen grabbed, took into PS then exported as .jpg. One image which loads fine was done throughe xactly the same method. As I say, it's very weird!

well by posting the code we can maybe trouble shoot the request....
it might be the way the script loads the images....we cant really help much if you dont show us what your using...

Well here it is then. But as I say there doesn't seem to be any possible reason it would have anything to do with the code. I thought it must be more to do with the system cache or something or the way I've done the images but no.

Code: Select all

stop();


numberOfImages = 9; // total number of images required


num=0;


imgDelay = 5; //no of seconds to wait


alphaSpeed = 4; // speed that images fade in


var waitCount = 0;


imageDirectory = "pics/talent/li/";





this.createEmptyMovieClip("imgHolder",1); //  creates a blank mc


imgHolder._x = 21; // change the x position to where you want on the stage


imgHolder._y = 17; // ditto the y position


function loadImage(){


        num++;
        


        if(num>numberOfImages){


                num = 1;


        }
    
//change number of image text
        
imagenum.text = num + "/" + numberOfImages;        
        



        imgHolder._alpha = 0;


        imgHolder.loadMovie(imageDirectory + "pic" + num + ".jpg");


        checkInt = setInterval(checkImgLoaded, 500);




}





function checkImgLoaded(){


        imgBytesLoaded = imgHolder.getBytesLoaded();


        imgTotalBytes = imgHolder.getBytesTotal();


        if(imgBytesLoaded == imgTotalBytes){


                clearInterval(checkInt);


                fadeInt = setInterval(fadeIn,100);


        }


}





function fadeIn(){


        imgHolder._alpha+= alphaSpeed;


        if(imgHolder._alpha>99){


                imgHolder._alpha = 100;


                clearInterval(fadeInt);


                waitCount = 0;


                waitInt = setInterval(imgWait, 1000);


        }


}





function imgWait(){


        waitCount++;


        if(waitCount==imgDelay){


                clearInterval(waitInt);


                fadeInt = setInterval(fadeOut,100);


        }


}





function fadeOut(){


        imgHolder._alpha-= alphaSpeed;


        if(imgHolder._alpha<= alphaSpeed){


                clearInterval(fadeInt);


                loadImage();


        }


}





loadImage();
