ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Image Gallery - Loop Through Array
Jul 16, 2004
I need to create a dynamic image gallery. The files are defined in an array like imgs = ['img1.jpg','img2.jpg']; then I loop through the array. The images should be arranged horizontally..
Code:
this.imgs = ['test.jpg','bla.jpg'];
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
var i;
for (i in imgs) {
var t = this.createEmptyMovieClip ("thumbnail" + i, i);
var c = t.createEmptyMovieClip ("picHolder", 0);
var thumb = imgs[i];
c.loadMovie (thumb);
c._x = x + i * c._width;
c._y = y;
}
I just downloaded Blue Chi's advanced image gallery few days back and converted into grid gallery in AS2. However I am stuck with 2 things:
1) How to make the gallery endlessly scrollable in a efficient way. I used duplication method but the trick used is noticeable when it axis matches with stage mask
2) Also, I am not able to control mouseOver and mouseOut scrolling.
Trying to make a code that dispays a number of products/images. Problem is pretty simple... when I put in a new picture, it ends on top of and covers the last. I want it to end beside the other, on a row. Do I use an image array to fix this?
Also, if I want to position my array/gallery somewhere else on stage, where/how do I adjust the x y values?[code]...
Trying to make a dynamic gallery that pulls images (along with names and dimensions) from different folders on the server. Want clients to be able to drop new images into these folders and have them pulled into the gallery dynamically. Do I need to use PHP as I did with AS2? or can AS3 pull the image names and dimensions from the folders on the server?
I am trying to create a dynamic image showcase for my homepage, which consists of a series of images fading in and out.I have created a flash file, with movie clip (empty) with an instance called "imageLoader"Then using some available AS I have called in the image (with a preloader function.) see below, the script has been pased on scene 1, frame 1.
startLoading("picture1.jpg"); function startLoading(whichImage) { loadMovie(whichImage, "imageLoader");
The picture loader is working well and the text too but it doesn't work so well together. When I'm clicking on a sticker, the picture is load and a text too but it's not the good one.
I have dynamically loaded buttons (thumb) and images (galImage) going to container_mc and full_mc containers respectively. I can't get the buttons to stay down when pressed using MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP. When I use CLICK instead, they all stay pressed. [code]...
I have made a site for an artist with a dynamic gallery using an xml file. I am trying to create a way for him to update the gallery by simply uploading his new photos through a html form. I have an image upload form which puts the images in the directory which the xml file references but I cant figure out how to generate a new xml file to show all the new pictures. Are there any easier ways to achieve an updatable gallery?
I'm trying to create a gallery where each thumbnail you can click loads a different set of images (and unloads or removes the previously loaded gallery).
I am currently in the process of making an image gallery at university over the period of the semester. Eventually it will be able to search through flikr and pull thumbnails from there but for now we are just getting the fundamentals working. Last weeks task was to have the int amount of thumbnails show up depending on the number u placed in the search field.
So in other words i type in 3 in the search field, and 3 placeholder images show up. The problem is having to remove them from the stage and the array so that when u type in 2 or 1 after having typed 3, that it erases the last search results from the array and the stage. This is my code below which half works. It will place however many images you tell it to, but will not erase them next time u press search.
I found this code online. it is for a image gallery that fades in and out as it transition from one image to the next.. the images are load through an array command... it loads the first image, etc.... what I wanted to know is where should i put a Math.floor(Math.random()*this.pic_arr.length); in the string of code... to make the gallery start randomly in the array and then continue onto the next image... also, for some reason, there is not a common directory for all the images, like this script:
I have modified hga77's gallery and made some changes with the style. I am still having some problems and need three things sorted out. Well, two aren't essential but the first one is.1. Most importantly, On Load I need the first image in the XML file to load in and have a border.2. Get the percentage preloader working.
making my image gallery, but it only works as each image in the array is clicked. Now I am trying to make the gallery move automatically to the next image in the array every 5 seconds while still giving the user the ability to click on an image to view the one that they want.Here is my code so far (like i said it works great, but only as a click-able gallery):
i m using flash on a module of Joomla to display images, i embed flash player code into javascript , it fetch images from an XML files wher images are predefined and it works fine, now i have a problem that i m collecting images from database, means images are dynamically, so i m unable to fetch that images an display on flash, i just want to knoe how to add dynamic image array into flash. do i need to create xml??
I am trying to build an image gallery that will be dynamic, for example if a person will choose show me image gallery of products of price over 200 $ , he will see those products only, if he will choose back he will see all products images again... for better understanding what i need to do is something similar to this : [URL]
I would like my picture to fade in, how do I do it? I load my image like this: var imageFolder:String = "main_pictures/"; var imageArray:Array = [imageFolder + "picture.png"]; //Container var imagecontainer:Sprite = new Sprite(); //Loop through the image array and load: [Code] .....
I have a Flash site I am developing that feeds in XML into various arrays and populates dynamic movie clips and text fields. I am having trouble making a for loop that works with my movieclips and text fields. I am probably only missing one step and if I can figure it out I will cut my lines of code about 10X. I have attached the fla and image files in a zip file.
Does anyone know where to find examples, tutorials or source files on how to integrate flash with backend to create a dynamic image gallery that can easily be updated?
Last week I had posted about getting a bit of clarification on dynamic tabs, as seen in this thread: [URL] The next step has my head spinning a bit. Here's the setup: This is a slideshow viewer, ala PowerPoint. Images are pulled in from an external directory via an array. Dynamic tabs are also generated in an array. Right now the demo has 10 images in the first array and 6 tabs in the second array:
[Code]...
now, some of the images will be part of a range - as in maybe the first three would fall under the "Safety" tab, next two under "Efficacy", etc....so when a viewer clicks on a tab the player loads up the first photo in that sequence. So: User clicks tab "X", this compares "X" with the range of images associated to "X" and loads the first in the sequence. Now, to add in more fun, there's a next and back button. So now if someone hits the next button then they should view sequentially the next image in the "X" image array (or sub-array). and the reverse for the back button. so my first thought is that I'd need to have the AS compare Safety with the imageList Array - something like
I've completed my XML-driven image gallery, however upon live testing I'd realized I made a rookie mistake and not put some kind of placeholder "loading" movie clip loop while the thumbnails and subsequent full-size images are being loaded. The images will randomly appear when loaded and I would like to be able to insert a placeholder movie clip while they load, and swap them up with the thumbnails/images after it has been loaded. The placeholder movie clip is in my library (loadingLoop), but I'm having problems getting it to work correctly.
Below is the original function that processes the XML and adds the thumbnail images; this is where I'm trying to insert the placeholder movie clip per XML child node (every attempt I've made just keeps throwing more errors, so I've omitted my attempts to avoid confusion), and I've attached the XML file for testing.
i am trying to add extra images to the photo gallery attached. I would have thought it is easy and it seems so. I add an extra image to the gallery. I publish it. The html file shows the extra image in the gallery but the swf doesnt. driving me crazy, cant work it out?
I've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.
im trying to do a dinamic link for my dinamic thumbs gallery. But i dont know how to propagate it. here is my function for my show next button PHP Code:
