Size of a loaded picture

He guys,

FD has been a great learning experience for me and making a little money on the side. I’m finally getting around to making my own first photo gallery in flash, but there is one thing I’m not sure about yet. I’ve seen many galleries around that use photo’s with different dimensions. It usually has a little frame around it, which first tweens to the size of the next photo and then the photo is loaded in.

Now my question is: If I use the MovieClipLoader class. Is there any way to check what the size is of the photo I loaded? Or do people simply put in the dimensions in the xml file and read it from there?

yep, you can get the width and height on the onLoadInit function.

Fantastic, thanks for the tip!

Here you go:

/**

Movieclip loader

*/

var listnerGallery : Object = new Object();

listnerGallery.onLoadProgress = function(mc:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void  
{
    var pct:Number = bytesLoaded/bytesTotal*100;
    if (pct>5) 
        {
        mcLoader._visible = true;
        mcLoader.mcBar._xscale = pct;
        }
};

listnerGallery.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) 
{
trace(mc._width + " " + mc._height);
};

var objGallery:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
objGallery.addListener(listnerGallery);
objGallery.loadClip("img.jpg", mcHolder);
//objGallery.unloadClip(mcHolder);

Thanks very much for that example Bobocel. Now I don’t have to look it up anymore. Very clear example indeed.
