ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash MX 2004 AS 2.0 Loading Thumbs
Jul 14, 2008
I have been able to customize the adding thumbnails tutorial to meet my needs but I have one remaining issue. I have gotten some suggestions from some people on here to try and help me fix this but I can not get it to work.I have tried on my own and I am unable to get it to work. The thumbnails are loading in reverse order from they way they are listed in the XML file or when I simulate download the thumbs load randomly. Is there a way to force them to load in the order they are listed in the XML file?[code]

I have 25 instances of a movieclip "star", duplicated and assigned variables using the following code:
Code:
for(n = 0; n < 25; n++) {
star.duplicateMovieClip("star"+n, n+1000);
with(eval("star"+n)) {
startype = random(3);
}};
I now have it so that when I click on any instance of "star", I'm taken to another frame, and in that frame I'd like to be able to look up the variable "startype" for that particular instance only. How exactly can I do this?

I'm trying to make a code to load my thumbs 1 by 1. It should start to load the next thumb, once it's ready with the previous one.
I'm reading my thumbs out of an xml. It seems like it's placing them randomly.
Code:
var numPics = galleryList.length;
function placeThumbs() {
var i = 0;

I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.

The problem I have is that I can't make it to work: when I click the next button, the first loaded thumbs go away and the leftovers show up in the grid.
I justt want to show 30 thumbs a time, and in my sample I have extra 5 thumbs, but this could be any number.

I dont know if i have seen this somewhere or i imagined it but if you have a gallery of some sort and lets say your thumbnails are sequenced in one line from left side of the screen to right.
At the beginning, when you are loading the page first time, and all thumbs have to load one by one, with preloader or not -> is it possible to control thumb loading order, so that they load from left to right, and not appearing by some random sequence...
I dont know if i have described it well, but maybe somebody understood me

I'm loading several thumbs of a XML gallery in sequence, one after another, in the _x coordinates. The problem is that the thumbs do no have all the same _width, so they create some empty spaces between them if I set a distance. how can I set a distance of 5 pixels between the thumbs, no mather the width they have?

I need to make something that mimicks The Dancer over at[URL]I've created all the movie clips but I don't know where to start with the loading and unloading of the dancing bits The buttons at the bottom scroll through movie clips with different movement. So the "arms" button would load arms01, then when it's clicked again, it would load arms02, clicked again it would load arms03, and then repeat when it reached the end.

I'm trying to do something a little crazy from what it seems here, I have a carousel that I am modifying to have thumbnail images added to dynamically from an XML file. Now me being the practical persona I am I did NOT want to make little images for each picture in the gallery so I used a neat little class from a blog called soulwire
[URL]
the class lets me use the bitmap properties of flash to fit a copy of my image into the thumbnail are for my carousel Icons, later I will use the same info to click and show the large image for each of these icons.
My problem is that I can get it to work but only the last generated MovieClip gets an image, and it's not even the correct one. it gets image #2 in clip #5.
It seems as though my Event.COMPLETE for my loader is not firing for each image, if it is I'm not sure why I'm just getting the image in 1 icon.
here is my Code:
Code: Select all// Import the required classes
import uk.soulwire.utils.display.Alignment;
import uk.soulwire.utils.display.DisplayUtils;

3.Image Viewer;When the image viewer is opened the image viewer window opens.When images are loaded into the viewer and captions are added they appear to work in Dreamweaver but they dont move in sequence when the buttons are clicked.In browsers the captions dont appear. If the window is closed and reopened all of the images have disappeared and just the image viewer returns.The response I got from an inquiry to Adobe was; The version of Dreamweaver has been discontinued and is no longer supported via phone or web cases. We only support versions CS3 andCS4 via telephone or web. have interoperability between these two programs?

I imported a panorama .jpg file (i.e., several overlapping landscape photos stitched together) onto the Flash MX 2004 stage, changed it to a symbol (graphic), and used Tween to simulate the panorama panning back and forth. The effect looks great when I click on the .swf file in Windows Explorer, but when I created a box on a PowerPoint 2000 slide and linked the .swf file to it, instead of the graphic, there is a red rectangle. The rectangle moves the way the graphic would, but you cannot see the photograph. By the way, I followed the steps at [URL] to link the .swf file to the PowerPoint slide.

i have some problems in integrating with my own flash. 1st of all.. let me define the key things
1st step.. the flash will detect the xml. 2nd, it detect whether if it has people on air on the studio or not refer to the time. 3rd, if its between the [timeid] range ( 0-7) it has a slot but either has a dj or not, if the timeid = 8 , no slot and no deejays here is my core part of problem..
the flash will show the slot language pics background = MC ( session ), the slot name = dynamic text area ( slonem ), and who's the deejays = dynamic text area (djnem), of the current time, if there's no one on air or no slot , the pics background = MC ( session ) will show music only.
i'll include also my xml file and my dummy file for this thing.. also iincluded is the original schedule that working properly.. the original schedule and the dummy is basically different just they read from same xml file..
i just learn xml just a few months back then also with action script with help from my roomate [URL]..

I'm a former Flash 3 user that's desperately trying to get back into Flash with MX (not 2004) and need some assistance.I have been working through some 3D/perspective tutorials lately and have gotten stuck at trying to modify one of Senocular's great open source files from a tutorial covering Shape Movement vs. Camera Movement.
In the field of stars example at the bottom of this page, there is a scaling/easing/perspective effect that I am attempting to get a grip on.I moderately understand all the code that was provided in the "PullThroughSpace" FLA, but I need to modify it to do the following, which is where I get stuck:
1. Instead of duplicating the "stars" MC a set number of times, I wish to have five (just an example number) individual movie clips appear.
2. As opposed to random placement of these clips a la "PullThroughSpace", I wish to be able to define the spots myself.
3. Also NOT having them repeat when brought out of view. Similar to sofake, but with the addition of perspective. Also refer to bit-101's April 24, 2003 experiment.
4. Have buttons that, on release, will take you to a specific movie clip in this virtual field instead of having to click on the clip itself. Again... somewhat similar to the sofake design.

I am creating a Flash program that consists of a "master" movie file that will call in individual chapters (*.swfs) as needed. I want to create a single (page) navigation structure that will reside in the master - yet allow the user to go to the next/previous screens in the movie currently being used. I have created the master movie and have placed an empty movie clip on one of the frames. From the main navigation, I have been successfully able to load the individual *.swfs into the empty movie clip when called from the menu using the following command: _root.emptymovieclipname.loadMovie("external.swf");
I have been unable to figure out the action script that will allow me to control the navigation within the external swf from the main timeline. Also - is it possible to determine the number of frames within each clip as they are called so I can turn on/off the fwd/back buttons when appropriate?

[URL] the tutorial above worked fine for the standard images kirupa used, all were 300x200 and faded into position perfectly, however if another picture is used that's the same size even, it won't load, nor will it load if the same images kirupa used are edited with the tiniest pixel changed. i know it's definitely not the hyperlinks in the .xml file.

Currently everything loads perfectly except for the thumbnails and I really cannot figure out why or how to make it work. All thumbnails are .jpg's so that's not the issue, I know it has to do something with the coding.
if (items[i].attributes.type == "article") {
// create variables for our elements
var article_title = items[i].firstChild; //
var thumb = items[i].childNodes[1]; // second child node

The questions I posted last week dealt with XML and localConnection. Basically I had 2 swfs on a page. The main swf has the ability to modify some XML data (via an ASP script and database.) The second swf includes content populated by some of that XML data. When the data is modified, the first swf sends a call to the second (via localConnection) to refresh that data. I had everything working perfectly Saturday afternoon until I tested it in IE7 (on Win XP Home.) Older versions of IE, Firefox and Safari all showed no problems, but when the data should have been modified nothing seemed to happen. Nothing updated, etc.
I was able to confirm in the database that the update was actually happening, just not appearing. At first I thought IE7 wasn't playing nice with localConnection, but I eventually determined that IE7 wasn't playing nice with XML since it would happen in swfs that didn't use localConnection at all. localConnection was running and acting as it should, but IE7 was caching the XML feed even though the only component ever making a call to the XML was the swf. The XML was getting cached in IE and IE wouldn't let go (the only way to see updated data was closing and reopening the browser,or going into 7's new browsing history to delete the cache.)
The work-around I used was to add a querystring variable to URL for the XML feed. Every time the swf looks for it, it uses getTime to add a number of milliseconds to the end of the string so IE thinks it's getting a new file:
Code:
currentDate = new Date();
currentTime = currentDate.getTime();[code]....
I've been testing it on and off since Saturday evening and it seems to work without issue.
