im trying to load an external movie clip named gallery.swf (which is based on xml) to be loaded into my main movie...
it seems my external movie clip is replacing the main movie. i want it to be loaded inside it not in place of it.
here is the code of the gallery.swf:
[CODE]var imageArray = new Array();
imageXML = new XML();
imageXML.onLoad = function ()

I have a website created all in Flash AS3 and I have a XML Photo Gallery created in a separate file and I am trying to load the gallery into a specific frame on my site.
EDIT:Here is the code I am using:
[AS]var Xpos:Number = 152;
var Ypos:Number = 350;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

When I have the XML file in the same folder as the gallery (which it has to be) Flash gives me an error and the gallery doesn't show up. When I move the XML file though the gallery itself loads into the correct spot but the pictures don't because the XML file isnt there to call them.This is the error it gives me when the XML is in the same file as the gallery:
"Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///ANTHONY/Portfolio/Ggallery.xml
at Ggallery_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()"
This is my code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(loader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/clientes/clientes_.swf");
loader.load(url);
I'm trying to load an external gallery. It works fine, but, the external gallery needs two xml files to work. My gallery with the xml are located in the folder "/clientes", and main swf is in root. When i load the swf gallery, the main swf load the xml files from the root, not in the folder clients, and is that what I need. I need to find a way to load the client_.swf an his xml files, all from the clientes folder.
I have one swf that was made by Wondershare Flash Gallery Factory Deluxe program, and some other files comes with it.
The problem is that when it loads into my main swf doesn't appear into the movieclip that i target to the code but on the stage, on top of all others, i don't know exactly what happens, it seems not to be in the display list!!!
The point is that i'd like a back button showing in front of the gallery in order to be able to close it and go back.
I am loading a photo gallery as an external swf.So I have a preloader for the ext swf that loads.Then there is a 3 - 4 second delay before the % preloader for the photo gallery starts to load.I'm loading it via xml - is it taking 3 - 4 seconds to read the xml page before the image starts to load?
View 6 RepliesIve finished Kirupa's excellent Photogallery Tutorial and Im very happy with the result. I have exported the page as a SWF file and I now want to load it into my main page (essential in the design on my website). But when I do so the larger images do not show up! Strangely however, the title and the thumbnails are displayed - so the XML file is still being loaded. Additionally, the drop down menu I made also does not work.

I have a problem about loading external image gallery. the gallery loaded, but the image won't show...my files is like this : main.swf <---load--- pict.swf(is a gallery) <---load-- images.jpg.url...
View 2 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:

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.
The photos in my xml photogallery swf work fine. However, when I load the xml photogallery swf into my index swf, the pictures stop loading after picture 1

I am buidling a website in which i am importing external movie clips (swfs) using actions script 2.0 all of my imported movie clips so far work fine, but when it comes to import the xml gallery the who website goes in a loop. here is the script i am using to load the external movie clips.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container");
container.loadMovie("xmlgallery.swf");
stop();
is very basic but it works for what i am doing. the question is HOW DO I LOAD THE XML GALLERY if this basic script doesn't work for it is there another way to do it?
last step in my interactive CD project.The photos in my xml photogallery swf work fine. However, when I load the xml photogallery swf into my index swf, the pictures stop loading after picture 1.AS 3.0 code for xml photo gallery swf (adapted from the tutorial)
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function loadXML(loaded) {

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.

I try to make galery based on xml, just like in tutorial [code]... , but i wanna, that preloading will be not before every picture, bu t just one in start. First load all jpg from xml, and then start to looking at it
View 8 RepliesI have a store style website that uses a grid format gallery to display a grid of thumbnail products which can then be clicked.url...I have created xml captions that sit ontop of each thumbnail in the grid. They display fine when static but I wanted them to only display when you mouse over the corresponding thumbnail.I have code that tweens all of the captions (thumb_caption) to 0% alpha and the tweens to 100% alpha upon MouseOver and then back to 0% alpha on MouseOut.At the moment there is one problem - When you hover over ANY thumbnail the caption for the LAST thumbnail fades in not the corresponding one for THAT thumbnail.Example - if I have 10 thumbnails and I hover over thumbnail 1 the caption for thumbnail 10 appears ontop of thumbnail 10. (not caption 1 over thumbnail 1 like it should!)[code]
View 1 RepliesI need to create an image gallery, based on an XML file, which displays both the thumbnails and the normal-sized images. Here's a link for you to get an idea of pretty much what I want to achieve, except for the fact that I don't want the thumbnails to slide to the left or right, I'd rather want them to be static, and if there are more thumbnails than, let's say 3, to display a "previous-next" controller. After following some tutorials, here's what I created so far:(you can also find all these files + the thumbnails in the attachment)The XML file (settings.xml):
PHP Code:
<slideshow>
<images>
<thumb tLink="th/01.jpg" desc="This is the first thumbnail" bLink="bigImgs/01b.jpg" />
<thumb tLink="th/02.jpg" desc="This is the second thumbnail" bLink="bigImgs/02b.jpg" />
[code]....
So far, so good, the script does trace what I told it to But I need to further improve this rather simple script. So, basically here's what I need:How do I load each thumbnail into a "container" movieclip, so I can further manipulate this movieclip's properties (do an easing for position, alpha, filters etc.)? There's one more thing I need to specify: I want to display only, let's say, 3 thumbnails at runtime, not all of them. how could I assign an instance name to each of them.
I've done some Action Script 2.0 before this, but never really moved outside of flash. meaning i can tween, animate, include buttons, so all the basics for a static website i can do, but now i'm currently doing some workplacement and am working on an xml based gallery.
I've gotten as far as being able to load a jpeg from a xml file into the swf. i also programmed a thumbnail panel. what it does so far is create as many thumbnails as there are nodes in the xml file. you can then scroll through them via mousemovement. what i can't figure out is how to load pictures into the thumbnails, seeing it is always the same movieclip but a different picture should be loaded in each one.
so here's some info on the code:
i create the thumbnails using the addChild Method. i add a movieclip called "thumbnail" from the library. like so:
for (var i:int = 1; i <= picamount; i++) {
createThumb();
function createThumb() {

I was wondering how I could add sound to a gallery that is driven by xml.I have a gallery that loads the picture, Title and description. the gallery is downloadable here.The regular gallery loads a web page when the picture is clicked. I am trying to make each picture load a different mp3.I have the general Idea of how it would be done but I don't know how put it to actionscript.I figured you would basically create a sound object that loads the specific mp3 from the xml file when the picture is clicked from the gallery.I think I might have some what of the idea right but I get an error everytime I load the swf file.
"ArgumentError: Error #2068: Invalid sound.
at flash.media::Sound/play()

i found a very nice tutorial about making an xml based gallery from oman3D which i use it as a base and change some codes abit for my own gallery project... but those modification comes with bugs that i can't figure out that makes me feel like stop learning this and kill myself T_T. among few things, i tried to add auto resize, auto center and a crossfade transition for the images but it has awesome bugs that i cant figure out why it happens..
most annoying bugs i got is that when i tried to center an image, which i did by substracting the default width and height of the gallery with the loaded image's width and height then divide it by 2 and adding the default position of the gallery so it should practically comes out with x and y that puts the image on the center of the allocated gallery space
well, it works but apparantly the image's height and width are rubbish, because sometimes the number is accurate and other times it may changes... i wonder is it accurate to get image's width and height property if that image is loaded with loadClip and the props are checked during onLoadInit
second bugs is that i tried to create a crossfade transition... or to the least a fade in-out transition, for the latter i manage to make it work by using tween script which starts fade out the old image and start the fade in of the new image using the onMotionComplete function
but after modifying other scripts it stops working for reasons i can't figure out.. also the tween script i added for reasons unknown will reset the position of the loaded images to 0,0 and i dont really have any idea on how to crossfade this ( the only thing i can think of is that i would duplicate the old image's mc then fade it above the new but it doesnt seem to work)
as for the auto-resize function i made, it did works perfectly until i figure out the original mc's size cannot be reverted back, so if i load a very large image, then unless the next image is as large or larger than the previous one, it becomes tiny... even after i tried to reset the mc's prop before every new images loaded..
i wrote a bit of actionscript to dynamically create an image gallery based on how many images are in a given directory. as of now, i've got it to display thumbnails in rows. my next step would be to get these thumbnails to link to the fullsize images, but i cant figure out how to do that. my code is as follows:
[Code]...
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
View 1 RepliesAnd just loved the way it looked, anyone have any idea how to get a similar effect using ideally CSS/JS and if not then using flash? Furthermore it would be excellent if you could move to the next slide by clicking on the image itself.I'm also wondering how she is able to maintain height of the images when resizing (unless she is doing it manually which I doubt now days).
View 1 Repliesi need to develop an image gallery that displays images based on certain values chosen by the user. Imagine two sliders such as "gadgets" and "cars". The sliders provide values from 1 to 10. The flash movie then generates a gallery based on those provided weights. The user may want more gadgets than cars or all cars or more cars than gadgets etc. Im a tad lost as to where i should start here...XML? MYSQL? should i start swatting up on AS3?
View 13 RepliesIn fact, I make flash CD presentation in Adobe Flash CS5 AS2 (with minimal use of ActionScript). I need to load flash image gallery that I already have created, in new presentation file. Gallery was created in Flash Slideshow maker and as products I have. Swf,. XML and folders with thumbnails and picture (no. Fla file). The concept of the presentation (as root is concerned) should look like in uploaded picture "izgled otvorenog cd-a". In each of the folder on cd presentation (as on picture) is a Flash presentation controlled by their xml file whose name I must not change.
Exe file "Prezentacija 2011" is a presentation (Flash Projector) that I try to make. In the same presentation I create frames and for each of the frames added action:
loadMovie ("02_Kapije/kapije.swf", "kapije_ucitavanje");
kapije_ucitavanje._x = 23; kapije_ucitavanje._y = 167; stop ();
(Of course, for each item varies loadMovie root and instance name).
The problem is that presentations can't find xml file, apparently because they do not have the appropriate root. When all the files of the one gallery set in the same folder with the "Presentation 2011.exe" file, everything works normally (however, as I said, I cannot change the name of Xml file and that disturb the concept of my CD presentation). How can I drive loaded swf file from the above script to use Xml file in its folder? Here is my root foldersand link for presentation files : [URL].
So I have a Flash CS3 based website and I am trying to add in a Flash Gallery.I designed the Flash Gallery as a seperate file and tried to copy the library items into my site file. I got it in, looked ok but when I ran the test it goes crazy and I get 7 actionsript

I have a text box which when submitted will action a specific task depending on what its contents is, so for example, you type "one" in and it will bring up a picture of a boat where as if you type in "two" and press enter it will bring up a picture of a car. Now thats all working fine, what I have an issue with though is that with several of the tasks I want it to open the same window but load different content within that window depending on what word was typed.
So if you type "one" it will load a grey window and load within that a picture of a boat, but if you type "two" it will load the same window but load a picture of a car inside it. Now the way i can see this working is when you submit the box it sets a variable and when the window loads, depending on what that variable is set to it will load the relevant info.
[code].....
I have also tried placing that last bit of code within "window" instead of "winbod" but it still doesn't work. I'm pretty new to variables so I know it will be to do with me not placing them right. Where abouts am i going wrong here?
Is there a way to load a MC based on an internal clock (or if that's too complicated, a digital clock based on the Digital Clock tutorial)? I also read up on the Loading Random MC tutorial, which is helpful but rather than it being random is there a way to set it so that the MC loads, for instance, everyday at noon? And it would keep this MC generated for 24 hrs until the next one that loads 24 hrs later.
