I don’t think I need a demo file for this stuff. The only reason why its here is simply due to the amount of request to do it.
You creating a Gallery or something visually heavy? It best to dynamically load these images into your SWF. Why?
- Keeps your final file size down so the user sees your interface faster
- you now have the ability to quickly change a picture when needed without re-editing your FLA
Place this code in your timeline and your done:
//creating the request to collect our image. var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/440789033/jay-jagpal.jpg"); //use the class of which does picture loading var loader:Loader = new Loader(); //Tell the flash to load the request... loader.load( url ); //Can manipulate it just like a normal movieclip - as it inherits displayObject class. loader.x = 60; loader.y = 60; loader.rotation = 33; loader.alpha = .6; //Add it to the screen - just because its made in memory, doesn't mean its on the screen! addChild( loader );
