Flash 8 Pro (AS2), externally loaded jpgs displaying artifacts when displayed

[plainman007]

Hello,

Im just loading some jpgs externally, Which means the jpgs reside in a folder where the webpage is. Everything works correct. But the images are displaying artifacts in certain areas.

I know if the images are incorporated into the flash file then they can have their smooth properties set. But what do i do for externally loaded images ?

Thanks

Hi,

You might need to look into MovieClipLoader(), so you can do things with your images after they have loaded, with loadmovie() you have less control over them

TheLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
TheImageLoad = new Object();
TheLoader.addListener(TheImageLoad);
TheImageLoad.onLoadStart = function()
{
    ImageHolder._visible = false;
};
TheImageLoad.onLoadProgress = function()
{
    // intentionally empty
};
TheImageLoad.onLoadComplete = function()
{
    // intentionally empty
};
TheImageLoad.onLoadInit = function()
{
    ImageHolder._visible = true;
    ImageHolder.smoothing = true;
    ImageHolder._width = 300;
    ImageHolder._height = 200;
};

MyButton.onPress = function(){
    TheLoader.loadClip("images/picture.jpg",ImageHolder);
} 

basically this example needs a button called "MyButton" and an empty moviclip both on stage called "ImageHolder"
