R – Why are .jpg’s appearing yellow in the flash as3 application

actionscript-3flashjpeg

I retrieve .jpgs from my server and load them within my as3 app. I use Flash CS3, and am not using flex. Occasionally, some images will appear yellow and unreadable within the app. The actual original of the image is fine, and has no such yellowing, yet when I load the image in flash it appears yellow. This seems independent of size, cause I have large and small images that appear yellow, and some that do not with the app.

When looking at the images in flashplayer 9, this yellowing occurs. It always happens on the same ones, with the rest appearing as expected. When looking at the images in flashplayer 10, it NEVER has yellowing, all images appear as intended.

I suspect, like other people have said, it's something to do with the colour profile of the jpgs. It may be because FP10 has colour management, whereas FP9 does not:

How do you add a sort of "Back" button to Page1 so that it will close itself (so that we are back to the main screen)?

There are many ways of doing this. You could just hide the page by setting it's visibility to false, you could just move it off stage so that it can't be seen or you could remove the movieclip altogether (along with probably other options). Basically it's completely up to you and you must choose the best option to suit your purposes.

In your example you want page1.swf to have a button that, when clicked on, tells it's parent to do something. I would personally recommend that this happens by dispatching an event when the button is clicked. The parent can then listen to page1 for that event. When it catches that event, you can then choose what to do with page1.

I suggest you have a read of some articles regarding events in actionscript 3 to find out how this is achieved. Try this one for starters

If Page1 were a movie, is it possible to automatically close it after it finishes playing?

Yes this is also possible and again i would use the same method as stated above. Dispatch an event on the final frame (or when at least you know the final frame has been hit) that tells it's parent to do something.

Flash CS4 refuses to let go

Flash still has the ASO file, which is the compiled byte code for your classes. On Windows, you can see the ASO files here:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS4\en\Configuration\Classes\aso

On a Mac, the directory structure is similar in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/

You can remove those files by hand, or in Flash you can select Control->Delete ASO files to remove them.
