dead link. i will fix [<--edit]

[lostinbeta]

Ummm, what does it do?

I tried to put a URL to a picture on the web, didn't work, tried one on my computer, didn't work either.

Tried a .txt file, didn't work.

Tried a song, didn't work.

Is it just a white screen with a textbox and a button?

[mdipi]

yes i kno, it worked when i tested it in flash, it should with any luck load a .jpg. but it is not working and pissing me off. so i gotta see what is going on. i gotta feeling it has to be a pic off my server. so i gotta see.

ok use the name : suski.jpg

[mdipi]

yet another dead link. i will add to HTML page.

[lostinbeta]

Cool, but now I can't remove the picture or type in a new name :P

Interesting concept, but makes no sense if it doesn't serve a specific purpose though :-\



Geocities = no hotlinking, you need to copy and paste your URL into a new browser window.

If you are hot linking images, in the link you can call it .txt instead of .jpg and it will work, or so I hear.

[h88]

hmmm, really easy though!

something like:


button.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie(myTextBox.text, 1)
}

right?

[mdipi]

I really didnt know that one b4 LIB!

thanx!

[mdipi]

kinda h88. this is the compleate code.

// Create empty movie clip and set location
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", 0);
image_mc._x = 10;
image_mc._y = 10;
// Button event handler
load_btn.onRelease = function() {
// Load image
image_mc.loadMovie(filename_txt.text);
}



btw lost: i am one who could use AS to drag and stop and play, and that was about it, besides you know JS which is a lot alike.

No problem, I don't know of the hotlinking of images thing is true, but it has been said a few times on this forum by some people that know what they are talking about so I believe it.

hey, why dont you try _xscale and _yscale to scale your picture!

and second thing, assigning _x and _y of the picture is really better
