I am trying to edit the code from o that the effect will look more like a cross-fade. So what I am trying to do is have the next image pre-load, the previous image alpha fade from 100-0, while the new one fades from 0-100
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to cross fade between two frames using action script. I can fade a frame out with the following script but I can't figure out the cross fade part.
/* Fade Out Movie Clip
Fades out the symbol instance by decreasing its alpha property within an ENTER_FRAME event until it is invisible.
Instructions:
1. To change the speed at which the symbol instance fades out, change the 0.01 value below (valid values are in the range 0.0 - 1.0). Higher values cause faster fade out.
2. The '-=' operator is a shortcut to typing 'Spread1.alpha = Spread1.alpha - 0.1'.
3. Because the animation uses an ENTER_FRAME event, it progresses only when the playhead moves to a new frame, and the speed of the animation is also affected by the frame rate of the FLA file.
Spread1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut);
Spread1.alpha = 1;
function fl_FadeSymbolOut(event:Event)

The AS3 script below is a cross-fade that is time-based with no user control. How do I keep the cross fade and control it with the "before" and "after" buttons? And with the API opening in its "before" state? And for users to be able to click and/or hover between the two. The link to what I'm trying to set up is:
http:[url].....The code is:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code].....
I don't know why, but this has always been a problem for me. What is the best way to cross fade images in an array? Say I have 10 image and I want them to fade over each other and just loop through the array indefinitely (also taking the preload into consideration).
View 2 RepliesWhat I've done is taken a Cross Fade and tried to mix in some dynamic image loading using some script posted by Claudio elsewhere on this forum (Cheers!!).However, nothing seems to happen????take a look at the script and offer a fix??
ActionScript:

// Define variables.

I know some basic actionscript but this one is a bit more challenging (to me at least), as (i believe) it requires setting variables...anywho, here is the swf:

As you can see, right now when you click each button the respective background image comes up. Now what i need is for them to crossfade, not switch. And preferably at a variable speed. Here is the (simple and obvious) actionscript so far:
stop();
button1.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
[code]....
Each button is labeled button1, button2 etc. and each image has an instance name of simply "1", "2" etc....Can anyone help me and let me know what the actionscript would be for them to crossfade ? keeping in mind that the user might click button 1 then 4 then 2 then 5, meaning they cannot simply crossfade in order.
I am trying to do simultaneous cross fade of images in a slideshow. The script here seems to have a very elegant method for cross-fading movieclips: [URL] However, I cannot get this script to work for images Anyone have a clue as to how to make this work with images? Let's say I have done: this.createEmptyMovieClip("photo", 200) and done a loadmovie of an iamge into the the MC. Here is the actionscript that I want to alter so that it will cross fade the iamges...

I'm trying to do a simple image gallery with a previous and next button. I have it working nicely with a little crossfade, however I know that I need to remove old instances of my class after they are done being used - I just don't know how to do it. Especially because I want to wait until the top image/instance is fully faded in before deleting the one below it and what if someone clicks the next/previous button before the image is fully faded in?
Here is my main movie:
[AS]
function nextImage(evt:Event):void{
currentImage ++;
currentImage = (currentImage < imageTotal) ? currentImage : 0;
addImage();
}function prevImage(evt:Event):void{

I'm trying to do a cross-fade effect for my gallery. To do that, I'm using two movieclips, one that holds the image currently displayed, and another one that holds the image that should be displayed next. When the coming image is loaded, the cross-fade effect should happen, the container that holds the image that was on stage should be cleared out, then the image in the other container should be displaced to the former container.
Here's my code so far:
function loadFirstImage():void {
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addFirstImage);
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(myImages[0].url));
currentImage = new MovieClip();
[Code] .....
I'm current trying to create a slideshow with images loaded externally, and then crossfading between one another.I've achieved how to load the images one after another, but however I'm having problems with achieving a crossfade.Do I need to have 2 seperate image loaders? Because I do not want to have the first image fade out, showing the background for even a minute of a second before the second one fades in.

View 3 RepliesI am having problems formatting the XML Flash photo gallery. I can't seem to get the photos to center on the page. Some of my photos are vertical and others horizontal, and they are all pushed to the left. I don't want to make all the photos the same width. Is there any way to use css to style the xml? Or is there some other way to do it? Url...Also, if anyone notices any other problems with the gallery,please let me know. This is only the second thing I've done in Flash, and I may have made some mistakes when I changed things.
View 14 RepliesHow can I add links from the XML file to My large image? I tried inside the functions prevImage, nextImage e first Image the code and didnt work:
picture.image[p].onRelease = function (){
getURL(links[p], "_blank");

picture is the movie clip that receives the large images and links is the array that I created to recevie the nodes with links from the XML file.
how to use if/else and setInterval statements on the cross fade slideshow. I am trying to edit the code to have the xml slideshow loop back to the first image and play continuously. I am ok following existing code, not great at writing/editing my own. I thought I needed to work within the nextImage function, and add a slideshow (); function. I haven't been able to get it right. Here is the code minus the xml loading part:

Im working on a project and I dont know how to even think through the problem, as I've only worked through Flash through AS3, and the following needs to be done completely in AS too.
I have two pieces of content - some flash video, and an mp3, both loaded dynamically with loaders etc. All this I think I have fairly well in hand. What I'd like to do make the 'hick-up' as these tracks loop, disappear by cross fading the video and mp3 across it self in the loop - if that makes any sense at all. I suspect that I'll have to delve into the timeline, but perhaps strangely, never done so.
I found this photo gallery on kirupa but i need it to loop and i can't figure it out. It stops on the 7th image and doesn't go back to the first.
View 4 RepliesI tried the tuto from Kirupa for photo gallery and xml .I modified the xml file with my own pictures.( I copied it and added the path to them)But when I try the swf this message appears :
Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/Desktop/divers%20flas%20et%20swfs/undefined".
Here is an example of one of my xml picture nod :
- <images>
- <pic>
[code]....
This of course means that the image 1.jpg is in folder allimages which is in the folder divers flas et swfs.So why this undefined message ? Is it a wrong path ?
Note : I work with flash 8.
I've been trying to add more galleries the Kirupa Photo Gallery but so far unsuccessfull - i've modified things alittle, but it's mostly the same.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
image = [];[code].....
This is as far as i can get before i get errors i cant get out by displaying image[i] in gallery[n].at the current time i can only get the number of galleries and display the images in the first gallery - not change between galleries.
I amusing the great Kirupa Flash gallery and have tweaked it so that I only am using the thumbnail scroll box to link to external html or asp pages.The xml file all loads correctly, though when I pass the "link" to the getURL the output is the entire XML "link" node.[code]
View 11 RepliesI wanna remove the XML data loading part and replace it with a PHP/MySQL backend for better security and maintance and because XML text handling isnt the best way (in my opinion it s*cks big time) to show text. HTML text through php gives better looking text.What do I already have:- MySQL database and table (containing the fields: "file", "ordercode", description") were "file" is the full path to a image and its name.- PHP script what fetches the data from the table and send it towards FlashFlash output when receiving the array ("nog niet te koop" = ordercode, "tekst volgt nog" = description)
Variabele _level0.myData = [objectnr. 1, klasse 'LoadVars'] {
onLoad:[functie 'onLoad'],

I am building a photo gallery for a friend using Kirupa's tutorial (located here: [URL]). The gallery is working out great except for one problem and that is using the keyboard left and right button. For some reason when I press the right arrow on the keyboard to go the next image it jumps to the third image, then the 5th, 7th, 9th etc. As you can see it keeps skipping one image, the same thing happens going backwards. However, when I use the onscreen previous/next buttons it cycles through just fine.

It's working fine but my problem is my thumbnails having different heights. The code supports only the fixed height thumbnails. Anybody having idea how to automatically adjust thumbnails gap with different heights.The code is below for adjusting the gap.. Red comment marked that area

function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());

I'm using Kirupa's Flash MX Photo Gallery located at [URL].When the script calls the images it's going to use, it says:
// fill this array with your pics
this.pArray = ["image0.jpg", "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", "image3.jpg", "image4.jpg", "image5.jpg", "image6.jpg", "image7.jpg", "image8.jpg", "image9.jpg"];
How can I call these images' names from a simple external text file? Purpose: I want to have the ability to change the photos in the gallery quickly without tweaking the Flash file.
I'm getting quite comfortable with the XML thumbnail gallery here on the Kirupa site... but wondered if there was an easy way to have a preloader for the thumbnails? I don't really have an idea how to set up the code for that.
View 2 RepliesDoes any of the code need to be changed in the photo gallery tutorial to make it function inside of a movie clip? I'm specifically wondering in regards to the "_root" My gallery is in a movie clip which I can't seem to get working w/attatchMovie though all my others work fine.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to load backgrounds for the thumbnails in tutorial http:[url]...Now I have a mc containing multiple white backgrounds at 65x65px, which loads and places it under the loaded thumbnails (like a mask), but I would rather like it to load a singel mc, seperatly for each thumbnail. How can I do that?
View 1 RepliesI have followed Kirupa's XML Image Gallery tutorial. Before you ask, I have double checked my code. When I hit command+enter (mac) to preview it, everything works just fine. XML loads the correct images. My problem is when I publish it and upload it via FTP to my web server, ONLY the first image displays. When I click the next button, the first image fades out, but then it fades back in. The captions and image numbers change (like they're supposed to), but the image does not.
It remains on the first image. I know that it is able to access the XML because it loads the first image specified in the XML. That image was never imported into the Flash document. I have double checked my paths, too. All of the paths are correct. Also, I'm sure that it's not accessing a local file, because for each path, I specify the full URL, such as "[URL]", rather than just "/images/image.jpg". What do I need to do to fix this? You can see what I'm talking about by going to [URL] and clicking on "photo+art".
I have created a Photo Gallery based on the excellent tutorial, the only thing I would like to add is Numbers to the Thumbnails.
I assume I would need to use the attachMovie command but I am not sure of the Syntax and where it would be used in the Photo Gallery code.
