ActionScript 1/2 :: Sliding Photo Gallery - Graphic Symbol A Different Size From The Original Template
Mar 16, 2009
I just pulled together a picture gallery, where the pictures simply scroll across the screen using arrows. I used the template from [URL] The problem is that when I added my own pictures, the graphic symbol was obviously a different size from the original template. So when the images scroll they should stop at a certain point as to not show any empty space. I changed the values that i guessed were the ones setting up where the graphic has to stop at, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything. The code below is the only script of any importance, at least that I know of. The other stuff just points to targets and gotoandplay stuff.

I've downloaded and slightly modified the Photo Gallery with Thumbnails .fla file. It works fine, except when you mouse over the right side, it keeps scrolling until all of the thumbnails are off the screen. Going to the left, it works fine, stopping when you reach the first thumbnail. On the original, it works as it should.

I'm pretty new to Flash and especially to Action Script, which is why I thought customizing a pre-existing template would be a good way to learn, so I recently downloaded a free Flash Template that uses XML and AS3. I was able to customize almost all of it, but having one major difficulty translating some of the code.[URL]..So at the top, I just wanted to convert the Contact US & Our Company tabs into 2 more galleries. I have created XML files for each and tested them within the other galleries and they appear to work ok, but when I tried to assign them each to their own page I get an error.

I have a sliding photo galley with a previous and next button. I have added action script to tell the linked pictures to slide along and for the next button its fine (I took the script from a forum...as you do). I put stop commands on the key frames over the next picture, Now if I am on the 4th image and click previous, its goes all the way back to the start!
stop()
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
}} next_btn.onPress = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
} prev_btn.onPress = function(){
rewind = true;
}

I'm trying to make a site with a photogallery that has sliding thumbs in the bottom corner ("slidingOut_mc"). I've got them sliding from right to left with a simple tween that is infinite. The problem is that I have a left arrow and right arrow that I want to slide the thumbs in reverse (left arrow i.e. "back_btn") or at double speed (right arrow i.e. "forward_btn") on a roll over of the button. I used the ENTER_FRAME thing to get the mc to reverse with prevFrame when rolling over the "back_btn" but I can't get it to stop when I roll out.
This is what I have so far...
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, backF);
function backF(event:MouseEvent):void{
slidingOut_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame);
function everyFrame(event:Event):void{
slidingOut_mc.prevFrame();
[Code] .....
It tells me the "everyFrame" is an undefined property. I think and hope the problem should be obvious to those who know more than me. Do I need some sort of import at the very start of it all?

I've pretty much taught myself everything about editing html so far, but this one is loosing me quickly. I've downloaded a html css template, edited out the fat i don't need, so on and so forth, now all I need is a photo gallery. However, I'm not sure how to embed the flash template to get it to run. I'm trying to use a sliding gallery, but can't seem to get it.

I am creating an image gallery with thumbnails on the right inside a symbol so that they can all fade in at the same time, and the bigger images on the left that also fade in. I can only fit 8 thumbnail images at a time, and want to have more than that. So I'll add an arrow below the thumbs so that when you click on it, you can see the other thumbs. I have the first 8 thumbs on the first frame of a symbol and the rest on the second frame.
My problem is that the symbol that contains the thumbs is a graphic symbol, so that the thumbs in it, that are button symbols can be clicked on. I tried using button and movie clip symbols for the thumbnails container but then the buttons (thumbs) can't be clicked any more. That was not a problem till I had to add more than 8 thumbs, cause i need to give the container an instance name, and graphic symbols can't have one.
Here is the link to download the .fla [URL]
In case I didn't make my self clear, what I need is to know if there's a way to have a movie clip or button symbol that can have buttons in it that can be clicked on.

I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.

I'm a newbie with AS2....and i wanted to learn to create a photo gallery that scrolls right or left, and that when you click on the photo it becomes bigger.Well I found a tutorial from a site. The only thing is that... when I built it and applied it to my project it does not work:The issue is that it takes over the main page, even though is in its own swf file....(It's part of a flash website, where each page is loaded separately...in this case this AS is in one page (portfolio) and when it gets loaded in the main page...the AS acts upon the "root"...I really don't know how to change the script to only act upon the native swf file. I'm using a loader component to load the external pages...not sure if this is what's causing the issue? :roll: Also, aside from all the photos appearing across the entire horizontal part of the page(they do get to scroll), but when you click on the photo ..it does enlarge but it freezes the whole page. I would like for this action to only be constrain to the size of the page, which is a different size than the one of main page, and to be able to be clickable...I know this might sound confusing... supply a url...to explain things better! In the mean time here is the code....
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

Based on the Photo Gallery using XML and Flash tutorial found here:I�m having trouble with loading thumbnail images of various sizes which overlap if they are smaller than the previous image.The specific line that causes this is target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k;I�ve tried all sorts of things with the closest being the following which put the images in the right size, but with the omission of �k� their order is backwardstarget_mc._x = (thumbnail_mc._width+5);Here is the full function block as per the tutorial

I am trying to make a graphic of a card slide down with actionscript, I don't want to use the time line.
Code:
// Get the card top pos
var card_y = getProperty ( _root.Aladdin.Card, _y );
// Move down
for ( var i = card_y; i <= 0; i++ ) {
setProperty ( _root.Aladdin.Card, _y, i );
}
Obviously this makes the car animate way to fast and cannot be seen by the user. So how exactly in actionscript would I put a 0.1 second pause between each loop iteration?

I have an XML photo gallery, that when it starts it has a loader for the photos. It always starts with the XML file determined sequence, which is fine, but what happens is that the tabs on the right hand side of the photo loader go astray while it is loading the first photo. If the first photo was loaded instantly this wouldnt be an issue.Is there a way that I can preload that first photo, so that it is in memory when the swf file reads the XML file, allowing the first photo to be instantly loaded ?Amongst other things, I tried embedding the photo in the swf file, but it didnt work...obviously I have no idea what to script...I also created another scene, prior to the main scene, to preload the photo.. but it didnt work either, again probably used useless script...Going further in detail, this is the main script:
Code:
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.simpleSetup(Shortcuts, PennerEasing);

I've created a small animation containing a few images which i have converted to graphic symbols so I can alpha-tween them. I tweened the first image then copy/pasted the frames to do the next using the swap symbol function. When swapping the symbol I selected the desired symbol and pressed okay but nothing happened - I then dragged the desired symbol out of the library and onto the stage then deleted the previous symbol. As soon as I did that the new symbol I had just dragged out switched back to the previous symbol.

What I want to do is to make a gallery based on the tutorial gallery here (thumbs), but I want the user to be able to choose different galleries from within the movie. I figured that I could make a loop to cycle through the galleries, then nest another loop inside it to cycle through the pics, captions and thumbs. While I wrote, I constantly tested the output with trace commands, but when I tried nesting the loop I lost all output.. I'm pretty new to both Flash and Actionscript, so if theres an obvious solution I havent been able to see it.. This is my temp XML file:

How do I replace a graphic symbol ? It is actually made up of 3 layers including a textbox and bullet. When I double click on the symbol, I get the Text Properties menu.
When I single click on the symbol on the stage, the properties menu shows a Swap button. When I choose the correct symbol and click OK, it looks like it worked but it still shows the original symbol name (Instance of it) on this Properties menu.
Another issue is that when I change one of the symbols (by double clicking on the symbol and then double clicking on the text layer), it does change the text on that layer. However, then it changes the text on the other symbol as well even though they are different symbols.
Note that I can edit the original symbol and the new one. Both symbols are different. In other words, they each show the different text (which is what I want). It's like the original symbol is attached/embedded and cannot be changed.
Background on this issue: Rather than create a brand-new layer, I copied all the frames in a layer to a new layer because it has a motion tween on it. I only need to change the symbol that is in the motion tween. This is the only action/event happening on both layers.

Is there anything a graphic symbol can do, that a movie clip can't? So many tutorials I look at, use Movie Clips for so many things, including one frame objects, and buttons etc...So, is there any benefit to ever using a graphic symbol over a movie clip?

I was trying some stuff with masking. I have a shape on one layer. And there is another layer which acts as mask for first one. In the mask layer, I keep adding a graphic symbol to be able to reveal first layer's portions.
This is not working.
I am attaching my fla for your reference.
Please let me know what am I doing wrong.
Interestingly, if I use just shapes instead of graphic-symbol in the mask layer, it is working fine. Why is so?

I'm guessing this has been asked before but I'm having trouble finding a straight answer. I want to duplicate a symbol that contains text, but when I change the text in the duplicate symbol, the original's text changes too. This is really annoying. Is there a way I can "break" this association to the original symbol so the duplicate becomes independent

I have a flash site that I'm working with that has an xml photo gallery as one of it's menu items. the photo gallery has three pages, all three containing thumbnail images that once clicked, load the larger image. The larger image dissolves in covering the page with the image. Once you click the larger image it dissolves out returning you to the gallery.
What I want to to do is to change the first page of this gallery to a video gallery, or player, leaving the other two galleries as image galleries. I tried simply replacing the images listed in the xml document to flv files and the flv file does not load. I simply want to know what it is I need to do in order to change this one page so that I can embed videos on it.
I've attached the Action script that loads the xml gallery in .txt format

i am trying to put some things together following the tutorials on this site. I did the tutorial 'Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash'and I followed it step by step and uploaded it with all the necessary files onto my remote server (xml file, Gallery folder, fla, swf, and html) - however, when I test the movie with flash, it seems to work fine (except the description test, my question to that later), but when I test it online it shows only the first image (but displays the correct number of images in the gallery); even when clicking the next button, it keeps loading the first image the first image. In other galleries (I use the structure for multiple galleries for my portfolio) the first image never loads at all.
Also, about the description text, in between the <caption> and </caption>, can I use <strong> and <em> and <br /> to change the appearance of my text? All it says is 'null'.If you want to look at what I mean check out my portfolio in the making. The problem with the first image displaying only is under 'paintings' and both the projects in 'design - packaging'. The second problem (no picture loading at all) is on some of the buttons in 'design - identity' (where I have not changed the description text of the tutorial yet).
Again,

All I'm trying to do is move one graphic (converted to symbol) from one side to another. However, when I try to put in the 'motion tween' it keeps saying "Multiple objects are selected, you must convert them to a symbol in order to tween them. Do you want to convert them and create a tween?" If I click 'Ok' it comes up with "The tween could not be applied to some of the selected frames. This could be due to the frame containing ActionScript, Multiple objects, non-tweenable objects or being on a layer that cannot be a tween layer"
