How would Link to an image directly in Flash

Below is how it is done in HTML:
http://domain.com/gallery/?directimage= ... /image.jpg

How would i do the same thing in flash?

loadMovie (imagevue.swf .... )

can someone fill in the rest?

Thanks

Code Select all

loadMovie("imagevue.swf?directimage=folder1/folder2/name.jpg", mc);

Alright, how would i add: ?globalpath=gallery/ into that

... by using the '&' symbol to add additional parameters

alright, in the testing phase on this site, everything was working fine using this. it loads in one of the defualt photos.

loadMovieNum (gallery/imagevue.swf?directimage=xxx&globalpath=gallery/, 7);

HTML Link - http://djhere.com/gallery/?directimage=xxx

but now when i actully put in the real image locations, it is not working, it load the gallery and then freezes before the image loads

loadMovieNum (gallery/imagevue.swf?directimage=Special%20Events/XMAS%20Moonstone%2012-13-2007/tn_022.jpg&globalpath=gallery/, 7);

HTML Link - http://djhere.com/gallery/?directimage= ... tn_022.jpg


The site i am trying to get this to work on is, http://www.DJHere.com

Any Ideals?

PHP 5 is installed on my servers (not sure if that makes a difference)

http://djhere.com/gallery/Special%20Eve ... tn_022.jpg which does not exist.

Furthermore, even if the image did exist, why are you linking to a file called "tn_022.jpg"? The "tn_" prefix is meant for thumbnails and is also meant to be excluded in the imagevue image list.

Thanks for catching that, what happened was i made an ASP Script that pulls out the tn_ files from the gallery randomly and creates and XML file that the random image flash movieClip loads on the front page, i forgot to make it to take out the tn_ in the link.

I have a had a pretty bad headache the last few days, probally why i didn't notice it.

Alright i removed the tn_ | and it is still not working for me

http://djhere.com/gallery/?directimage= ... do/102.JPG

This is the Direct HTML Link to the Picture on the server
http://djhere.com/gallery/content/Speci ... 07/102.JPG

still just freezes on me.

It freezes when loaded through flash also.

The link to the photo you gave me: http://djhere.com/gallery/content/Speci ... 07/102.JPG To link to that photo through the gallery:
http://djhere.com/gallery/?directimage= ... 07/102.JPG
(It works check it out)

The gallery link you gave me http://djhere.com/gallery/?directimage= ... do/102.JPG does not work because it expects to look for a photo here: http://djhere.com/gallery/Special%20Eve ... do/102.JPG
Photo is not there

that worked great load the gallery up pops an image up.

only one thing, the image it pops up in flash is the First Image in the folder and not the image that it is linking to.

which actully is fine with me, it take the user to the correct event that the picture is associated with.

but i am just currious if it is another error made on my part, or if that is just what happens

you can check for yourself on http://www.DJhere.com

I tried to load your page, but it just stops at "loading.." - Perhaps it's my internet connection.

yeah the link you gave me works Perfect.

i was talking about when i try to load the image in flash using loadMovie()
if you ever happen to get http://www.DJhere.com to load you will see what i am talking about (just click on one of the 6 random images at the bottom of the opening page).

Like i said though how it is, is great.
I was just curious to why it is doing this.
