Resize Image Problem

Hey all,

I have a function that finds the URL of an image, and after doing so, I try to resize it to 50×50. Now when I test this locally in the Flash IDE it always resizes the image, and works everytime, but when I test it on a website, the image won’t resize at all.

Does anybody know if you have to cache the image before i can resize it, and any other suggestions that would help me out or point me in the right direction would be great.

Inside a loaded function I basically just resize it by doing this:

e.target.content.width = 50; e.target.content.height = 50;

Thanks, Scott

What is e.target referring too?

why not just use loader.width = 50 and loader.height = 50 ?

Yes the image is on a different domain, and I know about the security sandbox violation problem, but I know a way to get around that. The only problem is resizing the images that it uses.

I have tried that and I didn’t work either. Good suggestion though.

It refers to the image loader, when I traced it.

I run across same problem before.

It seems it is a restriction from flash player itself only occurs If the domain name of the image is different than the URL of the application.

As i remember, i was trying to get the image from different URL and using bitmap class, drawing it to an mc and resizing it. Couldn’t manage directly so i write a php script to copy the image to my server first, then get the images path… But this was a brute-force solution and not so flexible.

EDIT : And crossdomain.xml does not help about this problem.

Hey phantasmagoria,

Thanks for the reply, I do think that’s the exact problem I am having, and I also tried to assign it to a bitmap object and drawing it to a mc, but I couldn’t get it to work either. If there is a solution to this I would love to know.

Would adding it to a display object container or just the display object help?

Thanks

what is the contenrLoaderInfo.content’s height / width you trace in the complete listener ? If that is zero maybe add a enterframe listener try monitor it after.

And think the crossdomain restriction only effect on the bitmapData, but you can still change the content’s size.

When I trace imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.width and height in the complete function, its still the original height and width of the image, not 50×50. I do the resizing of the image in the init listener, is that correct?

How would you change the contents size?
