IMAGE PANNING

is the image included in the flash file or is it being read from outside? If is outside, is there a way to include the image in the flash file so when you export there is only swf not swf + jpg? thx

Is it possible to use a swf instead of an image. If so how? I replaced the jpg with a swf and it reads however it won’t pan within it.

I’ll figure it out and let you know but let me know if anyone gets it before I do.

hi guys,

I’ve figured out a compromise between having a jpg and a swf. For my purposes, I just needed some ‘hot spots’ with AS functionality on them, ie tooltip interaction, links, etc.

I previously found out we couldn’t swap loading a jpeg with a swf that easily as it uses the attachBitmap method and my AS knowledge isn’t that indepth. But what I did come to was loading a separate movieclip overlaying the movieclip that the jpg is loaded into.

What I did was added this function within the imagePanning class:

private function insertHotSpots() {
    mc.attachMovie("hotspots","hotspots", this.getNextHighestDepth());
}

Created another clip within the library called ‘hotspots’, and identifier ‘hotspots’ and stored all my AS stuff in there. Obviously you have to do some shifting of the hotspots to align them up right with the jpg.

Kinda dodgy yes, but its a quick fix I hacked in a few minutes.

Cheers

Hi Adrian, I just bought the file imgPanning.fla – it looks good, well done!

It works very well with an external image, and I wanted to see if there is any way to improve it, so that this functionality works with an internal movieclip. e.g. vector graphic with buttons, links etc..

if you could let me know.. thanks (my first post came up a bit mangled up, lets hope this works)

Hi Adrian, thanks for your response. Let me know when you manage so finalise support for swf files. Is one able to have links in the swf file too? I might be able to manage to use this version than in the meantime until you find time to investigate an internal image version.

cheers frank

i’m waiting for the swf update too… keep up the good work !

png transparency load solved!

in your .as file find the text below in onLoadInit() function :

private function onLoadInit() { bd = new BitmapData(buf._width, buf._height); ................. and complete with: ,true, 0×00FFFFFF

meaning, you will have this: private function onLoadInit() { bd = new BitmapData(buf._width, buf._height,true, 0×00FFFFFF); .................

I use as2, flash8+ (of course u have to have player8+ to run)

Have fun!

hello back, i manage it to load transparent pngs, ok… but what if i have 2 movies? let’s say movie1 and movie2….

my pan image is 6392 wide, and its cut off. is there a way to increase the visible width for this? i bought this file with the intention that any sized image could be placed externally. could you help?

oxylus, would love a response on how to change the visible width?

I want to pan an image of 4600×700 px.. is not possible? or what?
