Loading images and playing with them

[DrGonzo]

Hi all,

I have a file upload function working nicely, using the new fileReference class. I then takes the image file & downloads it to a Movie clip using loadMovie.
The problem is, that when I try to manipulate the image further - i.e applying a transformation matrix - it won't respond to anything.
i'm trying to use some code (written by www.senocular.com - if you haven't seen his stuff, i'd recommend a look - v.good) that gives the user a 'free transform' ability on the loaded image. I can get the code to work, when I apply it to an image that has been converted to a movie clip and is already on the stage, but not when the image is loaded into the clip using my upload/download function.
I've tried using the MovieClipLoader class, but I can't get that to even load the image. I think my problem there, is that the file name is only defined once the file has been uploaded. i.e:

Code: Select all

//works
function downloadImage(file:Object):Void {
imageHolder.loadMovie("./uploaded/" + file);
}

//Doesn't work
var imageHolder:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var imageHolderListener:Object = new Object();
imageHolder.addListener(mclListener);

function downloadImage(file:Object):Void {
  imageLoader.loadClip("./uploaded/" + file);
}

I'm going crazy over this one - apologies if this post doesn't make sense - I think I might have melted a vital part of my brain...

Any ideas most welcomed... i'm going to get a stiff drink...

Thanks,

DrGonzo

Not really sure....everything seems to be coded right in your action script. Maybe there is some other action script code that is interfering with you document. Try starting with a new clean document, and put everything back one peace at a time. When it stop's working then find out what you did. I know this might sound stupid but it seems to work for me.
