ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Border Around Dynamically Loaded Thumbnails

Apr 7, 2007

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?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Border Around Thumbnails In Photo Slideshow Using XML And Flash

Nov 6, 2006

I have been using the tutorial on the Photo Slideshow Using XML and Flash, and think it is fantastic. It is really clear and easy to follow. However I have encoutered three things with it. Firstly I would love to be able to add a border around each thumbnail accross the bottom, that would change color when the user rolls over the thumbnail.I would also like to be able to highlight which thumbnail is currently being shown as the top image.The third issue I have had is when a user moves the mouse to the right of the first image, it scrolls about 5 pixels to the right even though there is no other image before it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Rollover Effects To Dynamically Created Thumbnails?

Aug 15, 2009

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..

gallery.as

ActionScript Code:
package{
//imports go here
import flash.display.*;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Order Of Dynamically Loaded Thumbnails

Nov 6, 2006

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?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 : Properly Organize Dynamically Loaded Thumbnails From A Xml File?

May 28, 2009

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...

Actionscript 3 :: Adding Mouse Events To Dynamically Loaded SWF?

Apr 13, 2010

I am loading an external SWF using the Loader class, and adding it to the stage with addChild.When trying to add a mouse click event listener to the MovieClip, using addEventListener, nothing happens, the event never fires.Is there a specific way to add listeners to externally loaded movie clips?My code looks somewhat like this:

var target:MovieClip = assets["screensaver"] as MovieClip;
target.root.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickScreenSaver, true);
addChild(target);

The target shows up on the display, but the CLICK event is completely ignored.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding And Removing Event Listeners On Dynamically Loaded MovieClips?

Jan 21, 2009

I've created a drop down list and populated it with dynamic buttons. (I made a DropDown_btn class with a dynamic text field in it and then filled the button text from an xml file). On rollover I tint the button blue and then set the tint back to black on rollout. When you click on the button I'd like it to stay blue until a different button is clicked.

I thought on CLICK I'd run a function like this:

ActionScript Code:
function removeRollover(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.target.transform.colorTransform=c;
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOut);
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver);
}

...and then I need to addEventListeners back to any button that doesn't have them and set that button back to black. I could do this by looping through an array of the buttons but I can't figure out how to access them as objects.

I also gave them each a property of "buttonValue" when I loaded them so I can access event.currentTarget.buttonValue (which in this case is a number from 1-5) but once again I can't figure out how I might leverage this information.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Border On Image?

What I want to do is add a border on the image that I load into my scroll bar via XML on the rollover. So when I rollover the image a border appears around it.

Code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Border Around A Sprite?

Flex :: Skinning Button In AS - Adding Border?

Jul 29, 2011

I've just started playing about with skinning and am finding it harder than anything else I've come across in Flex 4 Mobile. It needs to be done in actionscript as I am trying to skin a flex mobile button. Here is what I have so far: (It does very little, only changes the background color)

package skins {
import flash.display.GradientType;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
import mx.utils.ColorUtil;
import spark.components.supportClasses.StyleableTextField;
import spark.skins.mobile.ButtonSkin;

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of documentation for skinning Flex mobile components purely in actionscript. How do we add a border for example?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Fancy Border To Scotty's Image Gallery?

Feb 16, 2007

I'm encountering a weird glitch when I try to use a more complex image border: the image container and the text caption both jump into place at the last moment. A bad effect. All I've done is add two more variables, "w2" and "w3" to the code:

Code:
var w = container._width+spacing, h = container._height+spacing;
var w2 = container._width+space2, h2 = container._height+space2;
var w3 = container._width+space3, h3 = container._height+space3;
border.resizeMe(w, h, id);
border2.resizeMe(w2, h2, id);
border3.resizeMe(w3, h3, id);

The only way I can find to keep the border shapes in correct proportion is to create 3 different border clips and apply the "resizeMe" easing function to each of them.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Kirupa'a Adding Thumbnails?

Jul 6, 2008

i have been able to customize this tutorial for my needs but i am still having one problem with the thumbnails. Unlike in the tutorial i have thumbnail that are two different sizes. most of them are 100 pixals wide but some are 75 and when they are different sizes like that it screws it up...they overlap or leave big gaps between thumbs.

below you can find the code i am using. the line of code that places the thumbs in there position is

target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k;

i was able to stop the thumbs from over laping by replacing target_mc._width with 100 but that doesnt fix the big gaps between the images that are 75 wide.

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];

IDE :: Adding Thumbnails - Moving The Scroller?

Mar 19, 2009

I am using the Kirupa gallery with thumbnail scroller - which is a FANTASTIC gallery system!

I want to move the scroller but when its moved further right...the scroller stops working. I can move it up and down on the stage, but once it goes a certain distance to the right the thumbnails do not load.

I also shortened the mask to about 160 px so it only shows 3 thumbnails of my pictures.

Here is a link to my FLA file: [URL]

How can I get this to work? Why wont the thumbnails load once the scroller moves a bit further to the right!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Resize A Border?

Feb 13, 2004

I am going to make an image gallery that loads jpg's. Around the jpg is going to be a border that resizes depending on the demensions of the image. I want the border to expand so that it encompasses the image, BUT i dont want the width of the border to change. SO, would this work:

Break the border up into 4 MC's (topbar, bottombar, leftbar, rightbar), and have the topbar and bottombar's width resize according to the jpg loaded, aswell as its _y postion change according to the height of the jpg, and have the side bars height resize according to the height of the jpg and its x position change according to the width of the jpg. If it did it right, could this result in a border that resizes depending on the demension of the dynamically loaded jpg, but the actualy width of the boarder all the way around stays the same? I'm thinking that I'm correct, but just wanted to make sure there wasnt any glaring problems before I procceded.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Thumbnails - Get The Width Of Each Thumbnail?

Aug 11, 2006

I have built a thumbnail gallery based on the tutorial on this site. It works great, but I'm having trouble with my thumbnails loading in order.I am calling images from an xml file, and placing them in a horizontal scrollbar. All of my thumbnails are different widths. Therefore, I need to be able to get the width of each thumbnail to position it in relation to the one before it and so on. Because of this, I'm using onLoadInit to position the images. Now, this creates a random horizontal order, based on how fast they load on the user's computer, not on their order in the xml file. I would use onLoadStart or onLoadComplete, as this would call them in that order, but the width is not available at this point in the loading, so they pile on top of each other.
