Based on the kirupa xml gallery I am loading a random image opposed to starting with the first image in the xml file. It works fine, but I have not been able to figure out how to get the accompanying caption to load with the specific image.
Code:
function loadImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
[code]...
I know it has to do with this: "description[0];" I'm just not sure what to change the '0' too....?
I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded
I have a gallery where passing over the image a rectangle drops down showing the caption for the image. The informations are read from an XML file and some of my images don't have a caption, for those emails I want to avoid the tween.

this is the code i got from a tutorial....here the images are loader and when the mouse is over each image the CAPTION is shown under the image in a text box. but what i need is...i want the CAPTION to appear when i click on the image(not on mouse over), but i cant find any mouseover event here as well.
I've completed the Hover Caption tutorial at [URL] successfully. What I'd like to do in addition, is to resize the caption box to match the caption text's length.
I've tried giving the background box a name (box) and turning it into a button and then doing:
_root.caption.box._width = _root.caption.help.length * 8;
But the box never aligns with the text properly after that. don't know what methods to call in order to get the bottom corner of the text and bottom corner of the box and align them properly.
I have an audio slide show and I need to add caption and on off button to show and hide the caption. how can I make on and off button to show the caption?and is it possible to add caption on my audio (not video) using actionscript 3.0?
View 1 RepliesI have made an image gallery using a tutorial by blue chiIt is basically constituated of thumbs that once clicked let a large image appear. I now want to add captions to these large images, on a rollover. I tried applying the tutorial "Hover Captions" to my movie, without success.Being relatively new to all that language, I am not sure it is appliable, and mostly where I should put it, i.e, should i include it to my main timeline or to each image (which are movie clips), on an other layer and so on.Here is the code I have for now
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
import mx.transitions.Tween;

I have this to load a random image from my array. But how can I keep track so that a new random pic wont be the same as one allready shown, until all pics in the array has been shown once?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking to help a friend with his site and basically, I need a good tutorial on how I could create a character with a voice bubble that, when you click on a button, displays a random quote. Also, I know this might not be the right forum to ask this in, but would this be easier to do in Dreamweaver if I just place the item of the character and have it load up a random voice bubble image? If so, are there any good tutorials for that?

View 0 RepliesHow could I get a random image to load in a flash clip?
View 3 RepliesMost of the threads about loading xml data into Flash text boxes and MCs involve menus or photo galleries. I'm trying to do something simpler (well, it's kinda gallery-like I guess). I have a column of 10 buttons (not dynamically generated).
Clicking on button number ones should:
a) load a jpg into an empty MC (done).
b) load a text caption into an empty text box -- no thumbnails here. All the samples I've browsed have the text loading tied into figuring out which dynamically generated thumbnail is being clicked (the old i++). I just want one at a time:

I want a movieclip consisting of a dynamic text box that, from the time it's loaded onto the stage, loads a randomly selected text string from an array, and continues to loop until the clip is removed from the stage. I also want the text strings to appear in the text box for random intervals between 500 and 3000 milliseconds.
While I've found tutorials here and elsewhere on loading one element from an array, usually triggered by a button, I don't know how to combine/alter it with the other elements.So I want this movieclip on the stage randomly flashing phrases from an array, some for a barely perceptible time, and others for a readable time.

I have an application that I'm migrating from flex 3 to flex 4.5. In this application, there is some mx Image components that load a simple swf file (image). Spark image doesn't load swf files, so I was wondering, should I keep the mx Image, or should I change it to SWFLoader? Is there any advantages to using one or the other?

I have written a tab nav class for learning purposes but have run into an issue with the tab captions. I invoke the tab class by sending in an array of the buttons that are needed, tabs are displayed accordingly. with the tab creation loop, I create the textfields for earch tab caption which is displayed as expected. I then have MouseOut and MouseOver effects which works (tab color changes accordingly), however, when MouseOver and MouseOut effects are triggered, the caption is no longer visible because, the mouse effect changes the caption text color which I don't know how to stop. I just want the the tab to change color NOT the caption.

I can set captioning to true in component inspector; is there any other way that we can set the caption to true?
