Set loader height and width in Adobe Flash and ActionScript



Set loader height and width in Adobe Flash and ActionScript


Question

I have this source in Adobe Flash CS6 (AS3).

var loader:Loader =new Loader();
imageViewer_mc.addChild(loader);     
loader.x=65;
loader.y=50;
loader.load(new URLRequest("image.jpg"));

image.jpg size is 200px X 400px and viewing nice in pages. But when I replace it with 600px X 1200px Image, It doesn't have previous size. I know that something is wrong with my code; But I don't know where is it.

My clear question: How can I load different images in a loader with same size?

( Can I fit images to their container, imageViewer_mc?)

Accepted Answer

Your problem is that, even though you are adding the loader to the parent imageViewer_mc movieclip, the loader will not have the same size as its parent.

You can set the width and height of the loaded image as follows:

var loader:Loader =new Loader();
imageViewer_mc.addChild(loader);     
loader.load(new URLRequest("image2.jpg"));

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(){
    loader.content.width = 200;
    loader.content.height = 400;
});

A graphic-based solution, to a different effect, would be to simply crop the image with a layer mask. (New Layer, Right-Click Mask, Unlock, Draw shape to crop within it).
