Actually I have made a photogallary. I load thumbnails from a folder to my stage using xml. All my thumbnails are placed in one line at the bottum of stage. Now i want to scroll these thumbnails left and right. I have used the mathod
function moveImg():void {
img[1].x+=5;
img[2].x+=5;
[code]....
this function moves every img 5 pixels to right, and i can call this function countinuously and same with some negative sign to move it to left but its quality is not good. how can i scroll all these images using some good machenism.
I have the following code in AS3:
var str:String = '<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Lo<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">re<FONT FACE="GG Superscript">m</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="GG Superscript"> Ip</FONT><FONT COLOR="#990000"><FONT FACE="GG
[Code]....
It seems htmlText is rearranging the html tags. Even though the output is the same, I need the original html back since I am making a text editor and the AFTER htmlText is messing up my tag calculations.
Suppose I want to dyanamically load 10 jpeg thumbnails. I have given them files names "image0.jpg", "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", image3.jpg" and so on.Now, I might write out the code to do it ten times, like this:
var image0:loader = new Loader ();
image0.load(new URLRequest ("images/image0.jpg);
var image1:loader = new Loader ();
image1.load(new URLRequest ("images/image1.jpg");
But it would be much better if I could write out it out in a loop, and have the actionScript assign names to the variables. I don't know actionscript so well, but I feel I want to have something like this:
var [name+i] :loader = new Loader();
[name+i].load(new URLRequest ("images/"+[name+i]+".jpg");
Now I've just made that code up, but there is some logic in it, which I hope makes my question clearer.
The main thing that intrigues me about the project is that it can create FLV thumbnails on the fly using the VideoThumb.as file included in the project download. Unfortunately, the project was made to be used on Flash Communication Server, and I am using Progressive FLVs on my site. I have been trying to figure out how to convert the VideoThumb.as file to work with progressive FLV instead of streamed FLV. I must say that I'm quite surprised no one has done this yet, as I think it would be a valuable contribution to the Flash FLV community.Anyways, as far as the code in the VideoThumb.as file, the main part I don't understand is this snippet...ok, so it's a pretty big snippet
Code:
// str is the suggested string to render from the tree (based on the node)
// node is the entire XMLNode for the row

I'd like to dynamically load thumbnails into a horizontal movieclip at the bottom of an image gallery to then allow me to load an image by clicking the thumbnails. I found a tutorial tooad the thumbnails to the stage but I am not sure how to load them into the thumbs movieclip. Here is the code I am using:
var imageLoader:Loader;var xml:XML;var xmlList:XMLList;var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xml/murals.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
I'm working on a portfolio site that I'm pretty much done with, but I'm having trouble with the loading order of the thumbnails on the site. The work in the portfolio is grouped into clients, and within each client, there are thumbnails that display the selected work. This will probably make more sense if you can see what I'm talking about: [URL]. (Only the first two clients are enabled at the moment). Specifically, when the page is first loaded (from a web server) the thumbnails show up in the wrong order. When the page is refreshed, the thumbnails are displayed in the correct order.
The thumbnails always display in the correct order when being viewed locally, or in the Flash Test Movie environment. I'm pulling in the data from an xml file into an array, and iterating through the elements of the array with a for...next loop, I'm loading the thumbnail images with a MovieClipLoader instance. Using the onLoadInit event, I then set the horizontal position of each thumbnail clip. As much as I'm looking for reasons why the order could be switching. I suspect it has to do with which thumbnail image finishes loading first - in which case, how to force the images to load in the correct order. Maybe I should use if...then and load the next thumbnail only when onLoadComplete fires?
This question has probably been asked a number of times in this forum. I searched and searched, read every reply, but there is nothing satisfactory posted till now. I tried out all solutions posted, but almost every implementation was incomplete. So, here is my question: In the xml photogallery tutorial, if I want to have a border around a thumbnail (which is dynamically loaded), how do I do that?
[Code]....
ive built it based off of an example we made in class last year that i had lying around..
as you can see here everything works fine.
The only problem is I want to add some roll over effects to the thumbnail but im not sure how to go about this as they are all dynamically added to the stage..
The way I tried was adding an event listener to each thumb via the function that adds the thumbs to the stage (see the "createThumbs()" function below). The event listener works fine and calls to the function i assigned to it ("thumbRoll") but im not sure what to put in this function to effect the thumb that is moused over as im unable to access "btn_thumb" from "thumbRoll".
ps. sorry if the code is a bit messy, bit of an experiment for me to get everything working..

I'm developing an app that needs to dynamically load in .png files as thumbnails for an image gallery. I have studied up on the bitmapData.hitTest() method for being able to setup an alpha test in order work around the .png bounding box issue, but have a problem.
I get an as3 error 2005, which OK I can understand in some cases, but it is pointing to a parameter that makes no sense at all. Here's the error:
ArgumentError: Error #2005: Parameter 0 is of the incorrect type. Should be type BitmapData.

how you properly organize dynamically loaded thumbnails from an xml file, into a grid.What I'd like is for the number of columns and rows to be set in the xml file also, and for the flash file to auotmatically fill out the rows / columns based on how many thumbs are in the xml file.
I've found examples of this type of thing in both as3 and as2, but I can't seem to get my as2 version working properly... how to create a thumbnail grid in as2...I don't really want the thumbs to link to a bigger version fo the image...
Haven't been here for a while and I'm really rusty using Flash. I looking for a tutorial or some information on how to scroll thumbnails by scrolling the mouse left or right over the thumbnails.
View 3 RepliesI used the tutorial "Adding Thumbnails" to build a fotoshow. Adding another xml-file I have the problem,that I cannot reload(?) the thumbnails correctly.[code]Then I do not see any thumbnails,if(!) the new thumbnail list contains fewer elements than the old one and if the old thumbnail list was scrolled over the hit_right field before.It is seemingly necessary to reset the internal state of the movieclip. But how can I accompish that?
View 1 RepliesI've got a website with three links to three different thumbnail galleries. When I click the link to a gallery that has a lesser number of thumbnails, it fills the difference in numbers in with thumbnails from the previous gallery.
View 1 RepliesI have a game where i add some cartoonish ants, that when they are clicked, they need to be removed from stage. There are 4 differend kinds of ants, so im doing a Math.random for picking which one to add. (ant 1+2+3 have 50% chance to spawn and 4th 50%)
Code:
rnd_nbr = (Math.random() * 5)+1;
I have a timer doing 10 tick, and i reset the timer to make neverending. Then i have a math random and if sentences adding mc' to the stage with movement from Tweener, and event listeners for clicks. But i cant figure out how to remove them when clicked. I have done alot of failed tries right inside the click_candy_anty function. I've left them commented out.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var ant_index:Array = new Array(10);//index for ants
var ant_number:int;

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

That's the correct syntax for this? I want to be able to dynamically write to several textfields that exist on the stage but have not been dynamically placed there.

View 4 RepliesI am very much new to the photography game and even newer to building a website, for which I have been staring at my computer for hours upon end. So in the end I decided to spend a few bucks and splash out on a template from [url]... but now I am struggling with the small thumbnails on the main page. I was wondering how can I change them so that I can either have thumbnails of some form of significance rather than some randomness. You will see what I mean when you get to the website. (Its still a work in progress if that!!)
I had given up on this website until I came across this forum. I had started on making sliding thumbnails with a gallery. Is there anyway of incorporating this on the website? I really like [url]...website and wondering if if there is a tutorial out there to make something similar since I have done the gallery and slide thumbnail..i just have no clue how to get the photo on the first page and the writing etc.
I'm having some issues with a thumbnails scroll that I found in another forum. I was able to modify it to fit my needs, but now I want to incorporate a interval that plays my next image without having to click on the buttons. I have tried several methods but nothing seems to work. here is the code:
descriptions=true;
alert._visible=false;
var ease = 5;

I have a movieclip with a scroll pane. also a mc which i named a class with a 'delete' button and an image holder inside it. (linked as chosen_thumb_mc)For some reason, the thumbnails are not loading? I cant find out why because it says the code is correct.... Can anyone see what is wrong with my code?
Code:
var ThumbArray:Array = new Array();
ThumbArray[0] = ["70317", "name70317", "2"]
ThumbArray[1] = ["28076", "name28076", "3"][code].....
I have downloaded a dynamic gallery from flashkit. I have tried to modify but cant. What i need to do is to get the thumbnails to appear 3 in a row, then the next one i loaded in a row under. When say 2 rows are loaded the scroller appears. In the gallery alla pics are loaded in one row. This shouldnt be a problem for you actionscipters

[url]...I am able to do everything fine until the part where you make the thumbnails scroll and stop when the mouse is over them. Mine does not move at all. I feel like I am doing everything he says but still I can not figure it out.
I'm trying to get some thumbnails to appear depending on where I pause in a video. It works fine when I do not use rtmp - but I get a 2132 error when I try and do the same over rtmp.
I've read up a bit and it seems that I need to allow video sample access. So I tried the following code, but had no luck:
nc = new NetConnection();nc.client = this.client;nc.connect("rtmp://theserver.com/vod/_definst");
nc.client.videoSampleAccess = "publicdomain";
I am trying to create an image gallery similar to Androids "Gallery" where it is a horizontal scrolling list of images. I am doing this with an HBox and Bitmap objects wrapped in a UIComponent. The problem is I am trying to do this for mobile and having many full size images open in memory causes problems. I have been trying to have the images load right as they are scrolling into view and unload once they are out of view, but the loading/unloading while scrolling requires too much cpu and causes a very choppy and poor UI. What I am looking to do is be able to load several low quality versions of the images in memory so I dont have to do as much loading/unloading. I have tried decreasing the height/width but it dosnt seem to have an effect on memory usage.
