Importing .jpg, .gif files into an active movie.

[heggeman]

Dear fellow Flashers,<br><br>I have recently begun to use Flash on websignes I (co-)design. Is it possible to import a .jpg or .gif file into a running movie when the picture is saved in the same server?<br><br>eg. I am running <i>movie.swf</i> in <A HREF="

http://www.test.com"

<br>Uploaded on the <A HREF="

http://www.test.com"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.test.com</A>

server is a file called <i>picture1.gif</i> and <i>picture2.gif</i>.<br>Is it possible for me to import <i>picture1.gif</i> and <i>picture2.gif</i> into my movie? If so, how and how can I have it displayed on the location I want: with what commands? (Java?)<br><br>A sincere thank you in advance.<br><FONT FACE=monospace>Bas Hegge</font><br>The Netherlands.

me if that is what you are lokking for...<br><br>_________________<br><br>I have tried different approches for some of my clients ( I also design Websites ), I have tried Javascript NewWindow, but, when you click on the button if you already have a pop up window the newer window goes behind the principal window...<br>A big problem because I always try to put myself at the place of a begginer, and I am pretty shure that a beginer will never notice in his taskbar that a new window appeared...<br><br>Anyway, I have also tried LOAD MOVIE, It was working great on my computer and it was also working great on the web, until I test it with a 56k regular telephone line modem, ( my principal computer is connected to the web via a cable modem ).<br>The problem with the load movie (in my opinion) is that you already have a principal movie (streaming), and then you ask for another movie to load on top ( the delay cause by the action of calling a new movie takes too long...), the beginer will think it did not work and try to click an other button, wich then cancelled the first action and then call a new movie... and so on.<br><br>The best way in my opinion is by loading a movie on top of you principale stage, with a blank frame and a stop action, then on the same layer you put your different photos with different keyframes (with a stop action) and different labels.<br><br>If you are interested in that solution, I can send you an .fla (it is very easy, when you understand the concept)<br><br><br> <p>Jean Boucher<br><a href=mailto:boucherjean@videotron.ca>boucherjean@videotron.ca</a><br><a href=

Dear mr Boucher,<br><br>Your reply, although helpful, was not the main part of my problem. Perhaps if I rephrase and tell you more exactly my aims you would be willing to help me further.<br><br>I have plans to make a webpage in which surfers are able to upload a picture to the server. When the picture is uploaded I want the Flash movie to insert it in the running movie, ie to superimpose a picture over a sample clear movie clip.<br><br>Can this be done?<br><br><br>Many thanks in advance.<br>Your website impressed me greatly.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bas Hegge<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Netherlands.
