ActionScript 2.0 :: Displaying Lots Of Clickable Thumbnails Of Product Samples In Flash?
Apr 11, 2007
i've been batteling with this for over a week now and i've just been unsucessful. I wonder if someone has got a better solution/theory to solve my problem I am trying to make an online product selection in flash. So the user goes from stage 1 to 6 choosing different options.
The first stage is where they choose the material. I have over 100 different materials to display! I want to put them in a database so i can update it later and also apply filters on the display page, because each thumbnail needs to store the Picture url for thumnail and main picture, the name of the material, the Price range code, the Colour description, pattern description and the material description.
How can i achieve this?! I really have looked high and low for something that stores it on one page and filters can be applied. It just needs to fill a movie clip with as many thumbnails as it finds in the DB, whilst storing the information for each thumbnail. Eventually i would like to add a button below each thumbnail which says 'select this one' which then just sets a variable to the name of the thumnail button they clicked.
I'm making a flash gallery with XML, the thumbnails loads just fine but i cant figure out how to make the thumbnails clickable so that they can load the correct Image..Here is the code i have so far:
Code: var galleryXML:XML = new XML(); galleryXML.ignoreWhite = true; this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());//Container for the thumbs
I've been trying to code an XML gallery, and it was going very well. I got it to display the thumbnails with text, and made it look nice and everything. Well, it seems I came to a stop.. Any way to preload the images, have image rollover effects, or have an onPress event (on the images, to pop up the larger version). So it's like half complete. [URL] - this is what I have so far. The files are here: [URL]
I want to start basic. Are there any tutorials or samples where I can make a simple flash website with 1 pic and 1 text content in there and be able to change it like in a CMS system using whatever methods are best php, xml, asp. Maybe using PHP or whatever is the standard for Flash CMS at the moment. How to make a simple content management Flash site starting from there. Where an admin logs in and then change the content for the pic and the text.
The problem is that I suspect that in my handler I am only getting raw samples and not compressed samples. The reason for my suspicion is that the number of bytes I get per message is equal to 20 ms (which my definition is 1 speex frame) of raw audio and not compressed audio. Also the number of bytes doesnt change if I change the encodeQuality. Reading the documentation suggests that adobe will only compress the audio before transmission to a flash media server or another peer. Is there a way to publish and read the stream locally in order to get compressed samples. ? Or any other way to get the compressed samples?
I have around 400 sounds in my flash file.Is there anyway to go about using them with having to instantiate them all.I will be storing them in an array.
var sound1:Sound = snd1; var soundN:Sound = sndn; var mySounds:Array =[sound1,soundN....];
I already have linkages in the library as sound1,soundN,etc
i created a game that has 96 still movieclips and seven more movieclips that basically move horizontally. The lag starts to rise if i add more and more moving movieclips. The game loop just basically, increment the x coordinate of the movieclips, so i don't think i have problems in the game loop.Is it normal the flash will lag once it has exceeded certain number of movieclips??if it's normal, what do you suggest to increase the game's performance?anyway, this is the update method from the game loop:
public function update():void { //cek kondisi untuk melakukan spawn char
I am trying to develop a simple product catalog using flash and xml. The xml file only has a list of catagories and under each a few products. I have a combobox wich list the catagories and another which list the products in that catagory. Each works fine but the products don't change according to the catagory that is selected in the catagory combobox. How do I change this. I use xmlConnector to bind the data to both.
2. When I browse through the products using a loader component sometimes there is flicker and you can see the image before it is resized. This is realy annoying. Should I use a movieclip loader? The images are not all the same size.
I am trying to create a website with a product where you can change the colors on the product similar to this url...Is this something that I can do with flash?
I will redesign a product page that contains products like Vase, Ceramic Plates and more, Customers can customize the colors of the product. Now I need some advice what approach would best fit, I am planning to use Flash/Flex/Actionscript in implementing this; That way I can minimize loading to many jpegs for the product and at the same time making the page more interactive.
I'm looking for webdesign samples made in flash, of the top of the pages, like banners.It could be made in Actionscript or not, but woul would like to see somme samples, or sites.
Is there a way to have a flash control scroll through a number of images with descriptions without knowing Flash?Perhaps like LightBox but with nice scrolling.
I have been creating mini product movies in Flash using sound recordings, key frames, and tweens. This is the 5th in the series, and just NOW I'm having problems.I had my frame rate set to 30fps with one long sound bite, about 2.5 minutes. Everything looked fine on my end, but when I loaded it into a landing page in IE, everything was out of sync, but only on other people's computers. It still looked fine to me.
I compressed the sound file more, which helped some, but did not aleviate the entire problem. I noticed the frame rate when I did a quick preview (just pressed enter) would fluctuate from the 30 fps all the way to 9 fps.I then cut the sound bite up into 13 segments,shortened the tweens, and reduced the frame rate to 18fps. In development and in preview, it looked fine. However, when I put it into the landing page, the animation was way too fast for the sound and the sound bites looped.
the experts here please recommend some product to record a computer screen session that then imports well into Flash? I want to build training videos that record the screen session and my voice and am looking for a software product that can do this.
Why not have the Adobe Flash CS5 product directly generate mp4 and other formats in addition to SWF?From my chair (as an Adobe Flash CS5 user) it
-Going about using other additional software has direct effect on a software budget. -Costs extra manhours to gather information of how it is done. -Costs extra manhours/user time to process. -Perhaps even increases the likelihood for errors and noise in re-processing already processed files (SWF->{F4V,MOV,MP4}) (F4V->{MP4,MOV},)relative to the original source FLA file?
I have to make a flash product displayer for the main page of their site. They don't know a whole lot about web development (but they know enough), so they keep asking me to do things that I keep telling them I can do.Well, I can't. What I need the thing to do is have the user hit a button, and the product change. They can also hit the back button for the last product. The previous and next product will be visible but not touchable. Almost like a scrolling wheel of products.
Does anybody know site, where I can downloud free sounds? I just need it to present something. It doesnt have to be the best quality. I need different sounds like noise, scream, car.
In Java there is a method of the AudioFormat called getSampleRate This returns the number of samples per second. I was wondering what the best way to achieve this with the microphone in flash is. I am not sure if I need to add a SamplesDatatEvent and use extract() or ?? I need to know the number of samples per second from the audio coming into the mic.
way to get access to sound samples coming from a microphone ?
So far I have not found such a function. In the meantime I am trying to overload alsa functions e.g: snd_pcm_readi to see if I can get the samples before flash treats them, but no success so far.
As a matter of fact, since I have no idea how both sound and microphone class work internally, I don't know exactly which alsa functions they call.
Haven't been here for a while and I'm really rusty using Flash. I looking for a tutorial or some information on how to scroll thumbnails by scrolling the mouse left or right over the thumbnails.
I can't find the line in the Adobe samples for a maze game where the actual .as code is included into the project. This is fundamental, since my own implementation is just using include "file name";, which isn't working. I also can't use import, since I then can't access the elements placed on the stage.? The files are available here http:[url]....
I tried to debug the code, but I can't even find the point where the constructor is called. The execution starts at "stop()" in frame 1 and then if you step into it, calls the enter frame event handler.
I need to create an application, the main срфддутпу will be to work with graphics. The application will contain the basic operations with geometric shapes and creating your own shapes.When creating, I would like to rely on ready-made examples of graphic editors. To do this, I'm looking for examples of open source projects.
I used the tutorial "Adding Thumbnails" to build a fotoshow. Adding another xml-file I have the problem,that I cannot reload(?) the thumbnails correctly.[code]Then I do not see any thumbnails,if(!) the new thumbnail list contains fewer elements than the old one and if the old thumbnail list was scrolled over the hit_right field before.It is seemingly necessary to reset the internal state of the movieclip. But how can I accompish that?
How would one go about this ?say you have a number of input text fields. and ppl feed their orders in.
big mac = 5 mc chicken = 2 lg coke = 0 fillet of fish = 0 cookies = 0 sunday = 2
then once they are done it shows thier order..... without all the menu items.
big mac = 5 mc chicken = 2 sunday = 2
To do this I was going to attempt to have an if statement for each item.if there was an item ordered a dynamic text box would be created at _x _y...... then add 10 to _x. (to move the next one down the stage)
if there was no item ordered a dynamic text box would not created.then the next item would be created further down the page as _x was increased with the last menu item created.
I'm a game developer and I have been (trying) to optimize an engine I'm making for my game. So far I have done almost every code trick there is (almost, because I'm not even close to be a professional programmer so I don't know how to do this perfectly )The game is working very smoothly now, I'm impressed, but its still generating some issues with MovieClips. When I load a new map, it loads up a movieclip that contains all the ingame objects (Screen). Inside, I add all the enemies, player and map elements I need. After that, I sort the index of the objects inside it by their position on Y.
While this works fine (using vector), my problem is that each map has like 30-40 movieclips (like doors, walls, etc), plus the player (another movieclip), plus some objects (20-30 movieclips), plus some enemies (10-40) movieclips... and when I move the camera (following the player), all the flash window area needs to refresh, and generates lag. If I only have the doors, walls and player, it runs ok... but when I start adding the enemies and other objects... Is there any efficient way to work with movieclips? Notice 90% of map elements like doors and walls are a movieclip with only one frame.
