...and I don't want it to! Have a look at http:[url]....you'll see that the gallery moves all the time, at whatever speed it is left at.I'd love it be paused when first landing at the page, either scrolling over a hotspot or entering the mask to make it scroll and stops moving when the area is exited.
View 8 RepliesI'm working on creating a gallery for my portfolio site. I have thumbnails of all my work. I've turned them into button and made it so when you rollover it, a larger preview of it appears with a description of the piece, off to the side in a designated area. Instead of making my stage larger or creating more pages to contain all my thumbnails, I made a vertical scrollbar. The scrollbar works just fine. The problem is when the thumbnail is moved, the rollover that would be moves in relation to it.how can I absolutely make sure that any rollover I create with a button is where I want it to be, no matter where the thumbnail moves to?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a progress bar that moves from 0 to 100 over a specific period of time. This time will be dynamic. It might be 10 seconds and it might be 13.2 seconds or whatever. The overall width of the progress bar will never change but the amount of time it takes to go from 0 to 100 will.
View 3 RepliesTo start things off, I use Flash CS3.moving menu that moves on its own when the mouse moves around it. Like the menu moves up when the mouse moves down.[URL]i have found similar tutorials for what i wanted.. but they are AS2 or older versions of flash..and what i needed is more along the lines of AS3 as that's what my class is learning and using.Does anyone know of an AS3 or anything that works with Flash CS3 tutorial thats what I'm asking?

View 1 RepliesI am loading a photo gallery with an external swf. The swf loads and then there is a delay before the 1st image starts to load. There is a preloader for the swf - that finishes loading - then there is a delay and after a few seconds, the preloader for the gallery starts to load.
Why is there a delay before the image gallery preloader begins?
i have a full flash template that im messing with, and inside i have added as a symbol, a flash gallery. The problem is how to call the gallery each time with different list of the xml. Heres my code, of the symbol flash_gallery, and it has one page alone.[code]The problem is after i hit the return button which calls the ret_click, it cant load any other list.
View 6 RepliesI've made an image gallery which loads images from an XML-specified folder. My function doGallery(urlPath); is using an URL-Path as an argument, which allows me to load new images and create a new gallery with these at runtime.The function will store loader objects in a gallery array, which is then cleared and overwritten once a new gallery with new images are made.So far so good. However it seems as if I have to re-download the same images as I have already once loaded, if I decide to go back to a previously visited gallery. I assume this is because I overwrite and clear the array which contains my previous loaders. Could anyone confirm this and possibly offer a solution? I hope I'm making myself clear enough for you to grasp my issue here.
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to make an image gallery that loads 3 photos at a time (look at .SWF). I have also built a function that resizes the photos to fit into its respective box once they're loaded (a maximum of 120x120 pixels). The images aren't getting resized, and they aren't getting re-loaded after the "forward" button is pressed the second (,third,fourth,etc...) time.
View 13 RepliesWhat I want to do is to make a gallery based on the tutorial gallery here (thumbs), but I want the user to be able to choose different galleries from within the movie. I figured that I could make a loop to cycle through the galleries, then nest another loop inside it to cycle through the pics, captions and thumbs. While I wrote, I constantly tested the output with trace commands, but when I tried nesting the loop I lost all output.. I'm pretty new to both Flash and Actionscript, so if theres an obvious solution I havent been able to see it.. This is my temp XML file:

View 14 RepliesI'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.
In my "actions" layer I have a function that loads a gallery of a external file called gallery.swf. The swf loads successfully but I cant remove that. The only way to remove is to call removeChild(mLoader.content); I noticed that the movies loads without addChild.
But sometimes also calling removeChild(mLoader.content) the content of mLoader is not removed and still appears in the stage.

View 1 RepliesI have a flash site that I'm working with that has an xml photo gallery as one of it's menu items. the photo gallery has three pages, all three containing thumbnail images that once clicked, load the larger image. The larger image dissolves in covering the page with the image. Once you click the larger image it dissolves out returning you to the gallery.
What I want to to do is to change the first page of this gallery to a video gallery, or player, leaving the other two galleries as image galleries. I tried simply replacing the images listed in the xml document to flv files and the flv file does not load. I simply want to know what it is I need to do in order to change this one page so that I can embed videos on it.
I've attached the Action script that loads the xml gallery in .txt format
i am trying to put some things together following the tutorials on this site. I did the tutorial 'Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash'and I followed it step by step and uploaded it with all the necessary files onto my remote server (xml file, Gallery folder, fla, swf, and html) - however, when I test the movie with flash, it seems to work fine (except the description test, my question to that later), but when I test it online it shows only the first image (but displays the correct number of images in the gallery); even when clicking the next button, it keeps loading the first image the first image. In other galleries (I use the structure for multiple galleries for my portfolio) the first image never loads at all.
Also, about the description text, in between the <caption> and </caption>, can I use <strong> and <em> and <br /> to change the appearance of my text? All it says is 'null'.If you want to look at what I mean check out my portfolio in the making. The problem with the first image displaying only is under 'paintings' and both the projects in 'design - packaging'. The second problem (no picture loading at all) is on some of the buttons in 'design - identity' (where I have not changed the description text of the tutorial yet).

it's like panning. But only when you click on something in the menu..
I am trying to use Actionscript and movie clips. I get my script to work but my thumbnail does not enlarge when clicked. It stays the same size. Here is the script that I am using:
[Code]...
The thumbnail moves where it is supposed but does not get any larger. I have been working on this for 2 days now and have almost lost my mind!
When a Flex component moves directly, so that its x and y properties change, then a "move" event is dispatched on the component. That's all fine.
However, a component may also move as a result of its parent component moving — or its parent moving, and so on. Now when a parent component moves, its children just "move along" without any properties changing or move events being dispatched on the children. Still, the children are moving on the screen. So how can you detect this kind of generalized movement?
I have a MovieClip instance which can be moved around the stage using startDrag() and stopDrag(). The instance also has some child MovieClips using addChild(). The parent moves the children when dragging, which is fine. The children have there own startDrag() and stopDrag() which should apply only to the child object, however it also moves the parent and other children. When clicking a child the MouseEvent of the child is being called but so is the parent.
public class Component extends MovieClip {
private var nodes_array:Array = new Array();
public function Component() {
x = 60;
[Code]....
I have a stage with a movie clip with the instance name of "mc". Currently I have a code that is suppose to move the player left and right, and when the left or right key is released, the "mc" slides a little bit. The problem I'm having is that making the "mc" move to the left works, but the exact some code used for the right doesn't.
[Code]...
I just don't get why when you press the left arrow its works completely fine, but when you press the right arrow it doesn't respond. It is literally the same code.
i am trying to work out how i can make a movieclip move around the stage to set/predefined positions on the stage when a button/s are clicked - an move in a horizontal or vertical direction only.
i worked out how to make an mc move around to set positions in any direction (horizontal/vertical/45 degrees etc...) but now i need to refine it to horizontal and vertical only.
I have a scrolling background that is 1320 x 1000 big. I'm using a sprite as a container where my background canvas is placed inside of it. Additionally I add (via addChild) a score sprite inside of the background sprite (the one that holds the bg canvas so the score appears on top of the bg canvas).The goal is that when I add a score it shall be stuck to the background (even when the scrollrect moves; it shall have a fixed position on the background).The problem is that this doesn't work because when the score appears it moves with the scrollrect and this is not what I want. I already tried it with globalToLocal but had no success yet. Probably because I don't really understand globalToLocal (and vice versa)These are some code excerpts:
Code:
private var backgroundBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1320, 1000, false, 0x000000);
private var canvasBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1320, 1000, false, 0x000000);

I built a game similar to the old Atari 2600 game Freeway. The object is to get the chicken to cross the highway while avoid becoming roadkill. It works fine. I kept tweaking it. I set it up so that when you reach a certain score the cars move faster. Now, I want to set it up that when you reach a certain score the player earns a stop sign. The ultimate goal is by pressing "s" the cars (which are all movie clips) will stop until the chicken makes it across to the other side.[code]...
View 13 RepliesIt's the first time I've used Flash in the last 9 months and I seem to have forgotten every single thing I've ever heard about Flash.*I have a movie clip ("test") that slides across the stage from left to right (or vice versa, doesn't matter) with a duration of 60 frames. I'd like it to begin sliding with an alpha of "0" and fade in to "100" within the first 15 frames, then I'd like it to fade out starting at frame 45 so that by the time it gets to the final frame (60) it's completely transparent again.
