ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Thumbs With Different Widths And Distributing Them On The Scene

Sep 12, 2006

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?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Thumbs 1 By 1

Sep 8, 2009

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:

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Photo Gallery - Replaced The Original Thumbs With New Thumbs It Got All Screwed Up?

Jul 24, 2006

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.

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Control Thumbs Loading Order?

Jan 20, 2009

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

Actionscript 3.0 :: Loading XML Imgs To BitmapData And Adding To Dynamic Thumbs

Dec 21, 2009

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;

say I load an external SWF, "objects1.swf" onto a skeleton of a car.

Instead of loading objects1_hood.swf, objects1_door.swf, and objects1_headlight.swf separately into their respective locations, I would just like to load objects1.swf, and take the 3 movie clips in it, and distribute them into their spots, eg "_root.car.headlight"

ActionScript 2.0 :: Distributing Thumbnails In Gallery?

Jun 4, 2009

I am using a slightly modified version of [URL]. The problem I am having is that my thumbs get arranged out of order because they aren't all the same width. The way the code from the tutorial works is it reads the width of the image onLoad, then multiplies it by the number image it is.

Code:
target_mc._x = 10 + (eval("thumbnail_mc.t" + k)._width + 5) * k;

This doesn't work, cuz some images are much thinner, so the thin images end up way too far left.

My method was to define a starting width (curWidth), then set the position of my thumb by using that value. once that is postioned, add the width of the image to curWidth plus a space. Reapeat for each image.

Code:
curWidth = 10;
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t" + k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();

[Code].....

The problem with this is it puts the image out of order. In fact, it orders them based on the order they download. I understand why (cuz of onLoadInit) but I am not sure what to do about it.

Actionscript 3 :: Distributing Changes To An Existing SWF Application Theory

Jul 11, 2011

Lets say we have an online application written in AS3 and served from a server as a SWF. The first version to go out is V1.0.

Several users, some behind a proxy server, use the V1.0 application and now there is a cached copy on the client machines and the proxy server.

V1.1 is released and placed on the server. All users should see V1.1, but results will vary, some will be served the fresh copy, some will for a period receive their cache's copy, and finally some will be served the cache'd copy in the proxy server.

I can be code in the V1.0 that checks a server variable to see if it's out of date. BUT if it is out of date, is there a way in AS3 to force it download a fresh copy, or apply the differences into itself?

Considering that I don't have access to the proxy server and can't manually or automatically clear the cache.
