Load external, library images or SWF files without any coding
The images can be loaded either externally or from the library. Enter the filename or URL of the image/SWF file to load directly in the component inspector. You may also enter the filename dynamically using ActionScript.
Choice of built-in loading and unloading effects
Choose from 5 built-in loading and unloading effects: Zoom in/out, Fade in/out, Wobble in/out, Rotate in/out, Bounce in/out
Customizable effect behaviour
Set the effect speed and wobble strength.
Rollover zoom with effects
Set the zoom factor (including negative zoom values) on image rollover. Choose from 4 built-in rollover effects: Wobble, Rotate, Bounce, Eased.
Automatic image scaling options
- Scale to fit: Scales the image to fit into the area defined by the advancedLoader
- Scale to fill: Scales the image proportionally to the maximum height/width of the advancedLoader and crops the width/height of the image if necessary
- Stretch to fill: The image is stretched to fill the full area defined by the advancedLoader
Built-in preloader
The advancedLoader includes a built-in preloader which will be displayed while each image loads. The text and bar color of the preloader can be set as well as the option choosing to display the preloader bar or preloader text.
Customizable content mask
You may specify a movie clip in the library which will be used by the component as a mask. This enables the use of complex shapes to mask your loaded image in place of the default square.
Slideshow capabilities
By adding some simple ActionScript code you may create a slideshow with image loading/unloading effects. A full slideshow tutorial is provided in the userguide.
Fully ActionScript control
Extend the capabilities of this component by loading and unloading images dynamically and changing the component's properties through ActionScript.
Light weight
