just starting AS and tried making a slide show for sponsors of our sports site. Basically it reads an XML file that contains the sponsors logos and blurbs loads them into MCs and slides them rotating. The XML has 14 entries that are like ...

I'm dynamically calling pics in from another folder on my site for a slideshow. And it works up to pic #9. But any number over 9 and it wigs out. The naming convention I'm using is panel1, panel2, panel3, etc. Is there a trick? Do I need to use panel01, etc? If so, would that then be panel010 for #10?
View 3 RepliesI have a slideshow what basically goes thru 5 pictures but the if statement is not working correctly.
Code:
stop();
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (_root._currentframe == 997){
gotoAndStop(992);
[Code] .....
The back_btn works correctly and goes to the last frame where the last picture in the slidshow is but the next button keeps on taking me to frame 1.
I noticed after a few repetitions the images that disappear on one side and reappear on the other start to get out of sync with each other, eventually overlapping. I'm figuring that has something to do with the minute timing differences between the lines of code being read, and was wondering if there is some way to get the images to stop losing their relative positions to one another?

I am new to flash CS5 and I am having a problem creating a character with multiple parts.My problem is. I created the character parts in PS: CS5 and save it individually as PNG with transparent background, but when I Imported it to Flash CS5 and applied a bone on it and test the bone. The image is messed up and as I realize that the individual png transparent image has a background.That's why the imae pic is distorted, messed up.I know it's hard to imagine so I post a pic.As what I have said. It is only an example screen cap of the problem.When I apply a bone and test that is the result.I am unable to draw in Flash cause it's different from PS which where I draw the chars, parts, and everything.
View 12 RepliesI have set up an animation that displays icons on agrid. Right now everything is working ok.I have an array of 4movieclips that are randomly selected to display on the screen.Each has a timeline that brings it from alpha 0 - 100. So far, soood.Now I have to add the remaining 200 icons. Now of course Icould make 200 more movieclips and add them all to the array butthere must be a better way, right?I thought I could just have just one movieclip and switch thepic out from an external xml list. But if I import them they won'twork with the alpha transition because they aren't movieclips,right?

There are 3 pics each in FASHION SPORTS and BEAUTY catergory and 10 and 5 in ENTERTAINMENT and COVERS respectively. All is ok but when i click on FASHION or other categories having less pics the pics from the earlier categories ( e.g. ENTERTAINMENT ) wont leave the stage. Also the unLoadGallery() function is giving an error message that ' This code is making flash to run slower. Would you like to stop this script?'.

I am loading XML file with images and text. I am resizing the pictures so I have to add an additional loader just to do that. By the time the images load, they are in different order than the XML file (cause it took time to load), which means it also throws my text off. Prior to loading, I place all the text of the images in an array. But when the images load, the array no longer matches the images loaded because they loaded randomly, rather than in order.
Code:
picData = new XML(e.target.data);
my_images = picData.image;
image_text = picData.image.@name;
[Code]....
This loads all of the pictures fine, but again I can't make the picture match the text because the text array has no idea what image is being loaded first.
I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.
i have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.

View 5 RepliesI downloaded a flash spread gallery [URL]which uses a xml file to designate the pics to be used. It is very cool but it is kind of a pain as I have to manually type each pic name in the xml file. Is there a way that I can modify either the xml or the fla to just pull the pics from a folder? Maybe two folders one for the pics and one for the thumbs?
I would like to just dump a bunch of pics in a folder and their thumbs in another and have it automatically just post them.Attached is the fla and the xml (and a .js file) zipped.flashmo_185_spread_gallery.flaflashmo_185_photo_list.zip

View 1 RepliesIm working with two apps trying to combine them into one. i have a xml as3 app that displays pics with discription next and back button. Then i have a dynamic horizontal scroller nav that displays thumbs and scrolls based on mouse position this too works ecept loading the thumbs. What i want happen is to combine them in one app where the nav would float under the xml pics and once you click on a thumb from the nav it pushes it in the xml loader file..
Im getting stuck at loading the thumbs in the nav...the xml file already calls all the nessary thumbs i have them pushed in its own array this array is availble on root or main timeline...i need to point the the nav loader (which has its own timeline)to pull from that array.

Im loading this into the master movie so when I loaded my transitions it run at 40 frames not at 20 as I speceified in the properities .?or maybe I was thinking in doing something like for example each 10 seconds change to next pic and so on ? can you do something like that ? maybe with set interval ?
View 3 RepliesIm making a picture scroller that has no interaction whatsoever just plays on its own. I have 4 images that are 800x100 each and have combined them into one movieclip. However i have a problem! Do to the size i dont want to have a huge timeline for this thing. Im fairly new to actionscripting and i know this would be an easy fix if i could code it. It needs to be seemeless so it continuously shows these 4 pics. Here is one of the images for reference.
View 3 RepliesI have a Main Movie with four buttons {about us, services, portfolio, contact}. When you click on Portfolio the Portfolio movie is loaded into the main movie to an instance called "load". This Portfolio movie has four buttons in it the first one being "print", now when I click on this link it loads another movie with the "print slideshow" in it.
In this slideshow there are thumbnail images which when pressed opens up another movie showing a bigger image which works fine. But what I would like to do instead of having separate movies for each thumbnail is to have just the one and load in the picture and any copy into a target depending on which one is pressed. I have tried doing this with this script, but it doesn't work (I've only tried loading the pic up to now)
on (press) {
loadMovie("print/view_file.swf", _root.view);
setProperty(_root.view, _x, "445");
setProperty(_root.view, _y, "25");
That part works OK, but it is replacing the slideshow movie. I've deleted the next part of the script and it no longer replaces the slideshow, so I think that is where my problem is, but I'm still not sure why
loadMovie("print/mdc-large.jpg", _root.view.pic);
setProperty(_root.view.pic, _x, "445");
setProperty(_root.view.pic, _y, "25");
}
This part isn't loading the pic at all. I know I've made it a bit difficult for myself by doing it all in separate movies, but I only want to load what is necessary depending on where people are browsing.

What is the best way to do this? I went the loading a picture through URLRequest and URLLoader route but I need to load 12, place them on the stage, make them move upon NextBnt press and and then when the user selects the picture., the view goes to another screen. does that make sense?
In my project I need to dynamically load (with an XML file) images (icons) into a flash cs3 file with as3. Every icon needs to have it's own URL. So far I succeeded in loading the icons into the file and adding the imageLoader an external link, but I can't seem to be able to figure out how to load every image into its own loader so that I can give
it separate url references. I also want to a hover effect on the images.

View 1 RepliesHow does one change the location that the pics are called from?
The xml path was easy for me because there is a path type that I'm familiar with -- gallery_xml.load("whateverHERE/gallery.xml");-- but I just can't see where to put the path to pics. I saw a path built into the xml file example I used -- <gallery path="whateverHERE/"> -- but that doesn't seem to effect anything. As it stands, the code below requires the pic's to be in the same folder as the .swf.
spacing = 10;
bar._visible = false;
containerMC._alpha = 0;

I have a slide show. I followed this tutorial.However, for the description texts, I want to slide from the left to the middel of the stage at the bottom and stay there for the length of the image being displayed and then slide from the middle to off the stage as soon as the current image dissolved to the next image. Here's my code that I have:slideXTween = new Tween(txtField, "x", Regular.easeOut, postXFrom, postXTo, 1, true);he above code slide the texts from left to the middle but as soon as the next image appears, the texts just dissappear and that's not I want. I want to slide the texts of stage

View 4 Repliesi am developing a piece for our home page that has three buttons below what's essentially a picture frame. the buttons work. it's the picture frame that doesn't.i have 4 ads that will rotate, each up for 250 frames. they fade out and in over each other. each has an instance name...ad1_link, ad2_link, etc. the idea is that as we have new products, etc, we'll swap in a new picture and remake the .swf.when i ran the code initially i got an 1120: access of undefined property error for pictures 2-4. no problems with the first one. after numerous attempts to find a solution, i decided to load all four movie clips at the same time, hiding them using the alpha property set to 0.i get no more errors, but now no matter which movie clip is visible, only the link to movie clip 4 (ad4_link) works. i need each clip to have it's own link, obviously, and for each to go away as the clip does.[code]
