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

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

Come on guys. Please help. :).

I know this is a simple one for you.

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

PHP Code:

---

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"

Thanks a lot for your help.

I shall try this out and post back here if i was successful.

Other than .smoothing=true what are the other properties one can manipulate please ?
