I am using an xml slideshow as explained in Kirupas Photo Slideshow tutorial Using XML and Flashthe slides always fade in after the preloader. I would like a preloader for the first picture but then have the picture show until the nxt image has loaded instead of showing a preloader inbetween.It would also be nice if the images could then blend over instead of just having the nxt image fade in
View 1 RepliesI 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.

I want to make it cycle through new images.
I currently am working off of a flash template. In the header of the flash template are a few pictures that show up like a slidshow. I was wondering how I add more pictures for the slideshow.
View 13 RepliesI am looking for a way to run a slideshow without using XML, but controlling the entire show with AS3. I have all of the resources and code to run a dynamic show, but I am attempting to build this on Oracle's Content Management System“ Stellent. Stellent does not allow us to access our external XML files or external assets such as images, js, swf, etc.
The best way to go about building our slideshows for use with this CMS is to make them fully integrated in themselves. The downside, obviously is a larger filesize, but does anybody know how I would go about building this into itself, instead of externally?[code]...
me step-by-step or send me a link for instructions to make the slideshow like this website

How can I make these adjustments:
the slides always fade in after the preloader. I would like a preloader for the first picture but then have the picture show until the nxt image has loaded instead of showing a preloader inbetween. It would also be nice if the images could then blend over instead of just having the nxt image fade in.
I am trying to create a slide show using actionscript that changes the images automatically. I have the script for a slide show that has buttons to let the user change the slides. It gets the images from a specified folder (which I want it to do- they are all named 1.jpeg, 2.jpeg...etc which makes it easy to update them) and loads it into an image holder named (imageHolder). There is a function called nextImage which loads the next picture, but at the moment is controlled by the buttons. I'm not sure how to get it to change images automatically using actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone knew of a component or 3rd party slideshow that supported displaying .swfs. Slideshow Pro is a nice component for video and images but lacks swf support.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a flash program that will create a slideshow on the fly. I have a collection of music and images that I want to put in the show. The program will pick a piece to play randomly and the next image to show is also picked randomly. However, the speed at which the images will be shown in the show is decided by the tempo/speed/mood of the music at that moment. In one piece of music there will faster and slower movement, and the slide will fade in sooner if the music is faster and vice versa. The show will keep running until the program quits.

What is the best way? I discovered how to do it by loading a movieclip with the image, but that is risky because depending on the connection, it sometimes loads too late.
What is the most streamlined, small filesize way to make a long slideshow? Can you point me to posts that talk about this or tutorials?
I have a slideshow on the opening page of my website and about a minute and a half in, it starts to slow way way down. It looks choppy and really bad - I had the slide in its own file and it was fine - then I made it into a single movie clip and cut and paste it into the website on the first frame so it would play automatically right away - then it started doing the slow thing when I previewed it
View 1 Repliesi want is a simple 4-picture slideshow for the site, and i already have it done. Thing is, i want it to loop indefinitely, but i can not achieve that unless i put this script into actions: stop();function delay () {nextFrame();}setInterval(delay, 6000); Thing is....that prevents the loop because of the stop command. However, i can't slow it down unless i do this.....I want 6 seconds in between looping pictures.
View 3 RepliesSo I have made a basic slideshow on flash for a website. Nice but simple, 3 images fading in and out. But I want to make a slideshow that moves either vertically or horizontally, but most likely at an angle. I also want some text to either fade in or move as well. So I have a few questions.1) What is the best way to get th pictures to move at an angle? I have read some xml options for editing in dreamweaver, can't seem to find one for moving the picture.I would imagine you have to edit it in flash? Yes I'm new to flash!2) I take it you edit the text in flash, could it be dynamic text and what is the best way to move it?
View 4 RepliesI need to create a flash file with video but at specific frames/times in the video I need an image to appear next to the video. This is the result of a research conference where the speakers were filmed as they talked through their presentation. The flash file needs to show this video alongside the slides from the speakers powerpoint presentation.
I already have the video converted using the media encoder and the slides from powerpoint converted to jpegs.I just need to know how I select a time/frame in the video and presumable generate some actionscript code to load an image at that playback time in the flash file.
A rather clunky version of what I am trying to di can be found at: http:[url]....
I have created a slideshow based on the template for slideshow provided by Flash and some other blogs posts i have found.I have a layer with a picture on consecutive frames.I have another later that has just my text to display always.I have created another layer called Buttons and in the first keyframe i typed stop(); And added buttons by draging and dropping <back button and > foward button. I used script: for the back button [code] I have gotten them to work if you hit the button, it changes to the next picture.I want the pictures to continously play and i want to add a Pause/Play button .If you hit the pause it will stop and then you can resume the slideshow by hitting the button again which will be a Play button. I cannot #1 get the show to just move on its own (i guess i have to add additional frames to each photo?)

View 1 RepliesI have Flash CS4, but the tutorial I used to create this used Action Script 2.0.[URL] This is just a basic mockup of the site, but you can see that the client wants to have images of the pages of their publication that you can browse and have their advertising be clickable so it takes you to Coke's site for example. The example you see there I did in Flash, but I was having trouble making the hotspots be active at the right time -- i.e. right now Morningside market is clickable even when the image is not up, and then it goes away and the hotspots I have on Coke aren't working.
The client also wants to have links to each page by number i.e. Front Cover/1-2/2-3. So I saw that that part would be easy to do in Fireworks, but can't figure out the clickable aspect. Then on the other hand, in Flash, I can't get it all to work either.
would like to know how to go about creating a slideshow like this one:[URL]..
View 5 RepliesI want to make a complex slide show using xml,the description of the slide show is as follows; the thumbnail is moving back and forth according to the position of the mouse and when the mouse is over the image the image glows and scroll stops and clicked on that image the big image is shown in BIG IMAGE section.
View 5 RepliesI have this slideshow that I'm so close to having completed, but there's one issue I'm having with it not resuming after certain buttons are used. I've tried to figure out what could be causing this but I just can't see what it could be. I feel I'm so very close to having this completed if it weren't for this one issue.
In the slideshow buttons '1' and '2' work perfectly, however buttons '3' to '6' are not working completely as they should. During the slideshow, as it plays through the slides if you click on button '1' or '2' you are taken to the corresponding slide and then the slideshow automatically resumes, which is correct. However, if you click on any of buttons '3' to '6' you are still taken to the corresponding slide, but the slideshow does not resume and stays on that particular slide. I've looked over the Action Script 3 code several times and I just don't see what could be causing this but I'm not too experienced so there could be some error, no matter how minor, that I am missing.
I'm using the following code to create a simple slideshow:

I have a swf file that opens with a full browser xml slideshow.I've noticed when I have a preloader on frame 1 for my file, it is 'completing' before the xml images have loaded everything else loads(a bunch of text and some menu items) but the xml slideshow images seem to be outside of the scope for my preloader.how I can tell my file not to play until all elements (xml driven slideshow, menu items etc) are loaded?

I have an xml flash slide show that works great but i would really like it to randomly select the images out of the xml so that every time it is seen it is showing a different cycle of images. I'm not by any means an ActionScript expert far from it actually, but i understand a bit of it (not enough to write my own code yet).here is the code im using:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
[code]....
Also I'm not using the text version of this were it gives a title of the image that is displayed but every time i think i have removed it correctly i screw the the whole thing up. right now i just have the title area in my xml blank which works but i guess its not the cleanest code right.
I need to stop a slideshow(from rhamej on kirupa), once it's started, when one of the image thumbsis clicked.I've tried in many ways, but nothing works.newBut(thumb button)

I have an interactive slideshow that I need to do which display pictures. Upon hitting the "next" or "previous" button one pictures needs to slide off to the left with motion blur and easing while the next one comes on from the right.
Sounds simple enough right!
As far as I have been able to find out, the best way to do this would be using XML. I have looked at a ton of tutorials on xml for AS3 and I can't seem to adapt them to match what I am trying to do. There seems to be so many different ways that one can go about loading xml and all of them are different so I don't see how to make the different tutorials integrate into what I need. I found tutorials that do pictures and text, or just text, or pictures that go automatically but not with buttons etc - and what I need is just pictures with buttons and motion easing (which I can probably figure out once I learn how to load the xml pics and get them moving with buttons).
I was not expecting to get some code that I could just copy and paste but I have not been able to figure out to adjust the code to fit what I need.
I am doing the AS in an .as file and I am trying not to put any AS in the fla document because this slideshow is just one section of a bigger framework.
