Automatically resize images from an XML

[AZUL]

I want to display images in an empty clip via loadMovie. Until that no worries. Buttons allow me to scroll through the images that are called via an xml file.

Now I want to resize images automatically (which are all different sizes), either with a width of 70% of the scene if the image is Landscape or with a height of 70% of the scene if the image is portrait. And this, keeping the ratio H/L of origin!

Here is my view function:

function display (variable) (
unload (myClipContainer);
loadMovie (myURLImages [variable] myClipContainer);
charger.onEnterFrame = function () (
if ((myClipContainer.getBytesLoaded () == myClipContainer.getBytesTotal ()) & & (myClipContainer.getBytesTotal ()> 0)) (
delete this.onEnterFrame;
width = myClipContainer._width;
height = myClipContainer._height;
ratio = width / height;
if (width> height) (
myClipContainer._width = Stage.width *. 7;
myClipContainer._height = myClipContainer._width / report;
Else ()
 
myClipContainer._height = Stage.height *. 7;
myClipContainer._width = myClipContainer._height / report;
    };
   };
  };
};

It works very well to display the first photo. But from the 2nd, and even if I come back on the 1st, myClipContainer._height keeps the display size of the previous image. If I trace myClipContainer._height at the end of the load (on the line above delete) it lacks the size myURLImages [variable] as I thought it would. Is there way to restore myURLImages [variable]. _x And. _y?

This is normal, you have beautiful "unloader" myClipContainer, it does not remove the property provided it therefore retains its size. Rather than "unload", you can try "delete".

Actually, I think you have clearly identified my concern!

but:
the result is the same with delete
trace (myClipContainer._width) returns me the size of the old myClipContainer, even if put 1 line in the delete, the delete does not seem to remove either the properties

What I do not understand is that even trace placed 1st in line if that verifies the completion of loading refers me also the size of the old myClipContainer.

Oh I found!

In fact myClipContainer must be established "dynamically via createEmptyMovieClip AS (" myClipContainer ", 0);
(I had created in the flash library)

So, no need to delete or even to unload the holderClip takes the dimensions of the image loaded each time and I have done my resizing operations.

Yes, that's what I could tell you, but I thought that delete would solve the thing. Shame on AS2 which by its on-tolerance does not help to understand the problem.

The AS3 has a very different philosophy ...

You could just out of curiosity try this script:
in addition to unload, crush myClipContainer redefining a new MovieClip ...

    function view(Variable) {
    myClipContainer = new MovieClip();
    myClipContainer.loadMovie(myURLImages[Variable]);
    charger.onEnterFrame = function() {
                if ((myClipContainer.getBytesLoaded() == myClipContainer.getBytesTotal()) && (myClipContainer.getBytesTotal()>0)) {    
                    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    width = myClipContainer._width;
    height = myClipContainer._height;
    ratio = width / height;
                    if (width> height) {
    myClipContainer._width = Stage.width*.7;
    myClipContainer._height = myClipContainer._width/ report;
                    } else {
     
    myClipContainer._height = Stage.height*.7;
    myClipContainer._width = myClipContainer._height/ report;
                    };
                };
            };
    };

(important info: I'm not a big shot in AS, I opened Flash for the first time in my life 15 days ago)

Basically what you are asking me to try do not work. There is no image loaded. I have this error: Target not found: Target = "undefined" Base = "_level0"

In fact, in my old AS (which works) I "createEmptyMovieClip ("myClipContainer", 0);" which is IN the function
then recreated each time.
