Ok so here is the situation: i have a swf. in that swf, i have 2 buttons (button_mc and button3_mc).
i'm trying to call different images with shadowbox (image gallery).
For now, one image works FINE:

im developing a web page flash-based and i want to call a gallery from a shadowbox. This is what i want:i want to click in a button and then open a shadowbox with my photo gallery. How can i do this? which is the code that i have to use in the button?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to incorporate shadowbox into my flash. I'm very confused with the shadowbox flash instruction from their website, but this is what I have so far.I imported flash.net and created a button as follows
ActionScript Code:
mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mybtnClick);
function mybtnClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
I placed the downloaded shadowbox folder onto my server along with the example.swf, but when I click the button on the site, nothing happens!
If you ever wondered how to implement a shadowbox or thickbox in flash then look no further!
shadowbox --> http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/
thickbox --> http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/
Here are two examples I did the shadowbox and someone else did the thickbox sorry i forgot source - if it is yours please let me know and I will acknowledge From my experience on using both of them, i found that a shadowbox is a much better option.
Shadowbox uses javascript to hide the swf object when shadowbox is open - can display flash movies in shadowbox itself. Thickbox relies on wmode = 'transparent' to show the thickbox on top of the flash - very crude solution which slows your framerate down alot and doesnt work in all browsers.
I've been through the forum postings and have tried a few suggestions but I can't seem to find the answer to this: I'm trying to open a Quicktime movie from Flash in Shadowbox. I've searched at the ShadowBox forum, but no help. Hopefully one of you gurus can clue me in or thump me in the head one of the two.In a nutshell:I can launch the shadowbox from the flash button but a few things aren't clicking:
1. The quicktime movie is 640x360 and it only opens in a little window and shrinks the movie to fit.
2. The flash in the background disappears and goes black.
I've stripped a test down to make it as basic as possible.[code]
I'm trying to link a button to open shadowbox. I keep getting an 1120 Error "Access of undefined property button". My code is as follows:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myWork);
function myWork2(event:MouseEvent):void {
ExternalInterface.call("Gallery");
}
where I put the images I want to use in my shadowbox? Currently I've copied all the files that came with shadowbox into my root folder.
Iam trying to when i click a button on my flash website it opens a shadowbox with a youtube video. I foollowed all instructions in the shadowbox website but i can't get it to work. In my html between the head tags i had the following

I'm using shadowbox and I am trying to load my video that has a custom skin. But for some reason it can't find my custom flash player. When I don't use shadowbox I can view the video and the skin shows up.

And yet, when I click on my thumbnail, it does not generate a Shadowbox overlay. Instead, my browser follows an ordinary link to the animation. I've also tried Lightbox, Greybox, and Lightbox2, working at this problem for about twelve hours. My understanding of Javascript objects and classes is very limited. Web Development is not my career path.
I want to have my overlay adjust in size depending on how much content is being shown in the flash movie. Also, I want it to resize in real time when the user adjusts the content.
View 2 Replieswhat the proper syntax is for passing flashvars thru Shadowbox to the JWPlayer (wanting to reskin it).
I have no problem doing this in conjunction with swfObject or via an embed.
Unfortuanitly my posts on the Shadowbox forums have gone unanswered. Their docs discuss this only in principle - no details provided for this specific need.
There are multiple posts on their forums and the developer mentions the ability to do this but provides no practical example showing how it's done with multiple variables and multiple parameters.
If using js to embed it would look like:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("/scripts/shadowbox-build-3.0b/libraries/mediaplayer/player.swf","ply", "580","326", "9","#F3F3F3");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");

have to call images through xml file and I have to place those images in a movie clip. with specified x and y places.
View 1 RepliesI have a basic question about a function I am using that is goes against my logic. It is the showImage function that is used to call up xml images:
[Code]...
the problem is specifically coming in this part of the code, I know because if I set it to a number it will load up the corresponding image. However, When currentButtonId is used it causes an error loading the xml. I'm not sure why since I set it a number and it I trace it and it increments fine...
ActionScript Code:
picture.loadMovie(image[currentButtonId], 1);
titletxt.text = header[currentButtonId];
descrip.text = description[currentButtonId];
I'm a newbie to Flash. I'm learning how to create a flash based image gallery. How to call images from a folder to the main stage and animate the image to show for 1 second and the change to the next image as a slideshow in a loop. This is the home page of the gallery.
View 6 RepliesI'll make a gallery of 122 images but I don't want to place each of them on the timeline
or I can't call them, they should be included in the exported .swf or .exe file I guess what I need is something like an actionscript that would call the images imported to the library is that possible or is there a gallery like that?
a SWF that will serve as the main movie for the site. Inside this SWF, I have a script that loads a JPG into a holder MC that's on stage. So basically it's like this:
- main.fla
-- holder_mc (this isn't an empty MC, it has some PNG's inside)
--- external JPG loaded in by loadMovie
I'm ok with building a preloader for the holder_mc and the rest of the FLA (without the size info of the external JPG), but how would I incorporate the size of the external JPG into my initial preloader before I actually start playing everything. Would I have to set the holder_mc visibility to false, call the loadMovie, initiate the preload, and then set visibility back to true. There's gotta be a better way?
I am loading 5 images using "for loop" and I have created the listener and if the images completes the loading, the function is called. Now, I need is the name of the "image" which is loaded on each five images gets completed.
[Code]...
in the output it is throwing as "[object LoaderInfo]". Now i need is the name of the "Image", inside the thumbnail_load function, that means, which image loading is completed.
I am trying to build a flash slideshow that uses XML to call up images and text captions. I 've found a good example of what I am looking for on macromedia's website.found here: http:[url]...
I would like to add the ability to fade between images and have a button that creates a larger jpg version in a popup window for whatever image is being displayed as current in the slideshow.Would I need 2 XML files for this or can I just use one? I prefer one. Sorry I am quite new to XML, this is my first foray into it.I can build this thing w/o XML, but it seems to be so much easier if I did it with XML.
i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);
[Code]....
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
I'm trying to get the AS3 Flash remoting example found here: [URL]. and I keep getting this error: Code: Select allError #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.BadVersion at amfphp1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() Here's the code I'm trying:

I'm having trouble simulating a click call to a button(displayObject) thats generated via an API call( youtube as3 API). I have not seen any mention of security reasons as to why I can not simulate a click as long as something is registered with a click handler. Basically I checked to make sure the button made is listening to a mouse click event with:
trace(generatedButton.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)) which returns true
I proceed to than call this:
generatedButton.dispatchEvent( new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true) );
And nothing happens yet if I physically click the button it works. Is there some security measure that prevents something from being fake clicked unless its origin is strictly from the system mouse?
I even set a timeout call on the click function and moved my cursor over the button and let it fire in case it was an issue of the mouse having to over the object but still nothing. I am kind of stumped at this point.
I have an enterFrame action that I use on a graphic:
[Code]....
Because I want to use the above code more than a few times, I tried to make it a function.
[Code]....
But for some reason the function call does not work when I call it via an action on a graphic where initially the code worked when it was explicitly written and not called as a function.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
fadeOut();
}
why this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.
package com.parkerandkent.components.classic.photogallery {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
"Test 2" will not fire here.And I get this error message:
CallTag.as , Line 10 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method init.
I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?
Does anyone know if there is a way to call a dispatchEvent call from inside of a static function?
