Dynamic JPG, preload and fade in.

[as_clark20]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to have a jpg load into a movieclip, first display a preloader then fade the jpg in once its loaded. That would be super! Any ideas how I can do such a thing? I'm struggling because I suck at Flash but I've got to learn some time.

Hi,


init = function () {
this.myContainer = this.createEmptyMovieClip("cont", 1);
this.myContainer._alpha = 0;
this.myContainer.loadMovie("myPath/myJpg");
this.preloadJpg();
};
preloadJpg = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.myContainer.getBytesLoaded()>100 && this.myContainer.getBytesLoaded()>=this.myContainer.getBytesTotal()) {
this.fadePicIn();
}
};
};
fadePicIn = function() {
if(this.myContainer._alpha < 100){
this.myContainer._alpha += 10;
} else {
this.onEnterFrame = undefined;
}
}
this.init();

Ta very much.
I'd like to dedicate this precious award to Felin, my Cat, who made possible this achievement by scratching the keyboard on my computer.

For an extra 10 points or a date with my lovely sister....

how could I get a preloader to display on the same clip? I always see these fancy sights like pixelranger with preloaders and transition effects on dynamic jpg's and always wanted to do the same.

I would have thought someone would've jumped at the date with your sister!
I want to see the answer to your question as well! I'll throw in a free blockhead smiley to anyone who answers this... ;)
