ActionScript 2.0 :: Multi - Layered Menu For Image Gallery
Apr 11, 2010
I'm trying to make a Image Gallery for my website by myself. However, although I can read ActionScript rather well, when it comes to writing it myself I tend to hit massive walls. Anyway I've looked at many tutorials and guides and all kinds of stuff but I still can't figure out how to get the coding to do what I want it to do. It isn't a bug because I can't get the foundations of the code down.
What I am envisioning is a initial main menu with several different selections (I.E. 3D models, 2D drawings, doodles, ect. ect. ect.) and when you click one it changes to that specific gallery. The way I thought to do it was using OOP to make a base GalleryEngine class and then implement it for the Main Menu and Image Galleries. I realize that I could do all this in flash but I think if I can get the framework of the code down that it will be easier to modify and switch out images and whatnot.

I just realized I was working on 4:3 when I need to make a 16:9 movie. So I resized the stage, but now everything is on the left side.
I tried turning on "edit multiple frames" and marked the entire stage, layers and frames and moved everything to the centre. Almost everything moved, excepted for material that is on motion tween key frames.

I'm having an issue with using a hitTest to make a thumb menu from an image gallery I'm working with move up and down. Basically I need to use a hitTest because there is a conflict with the other rollover functions in the menu itself that prevents me from using a simple onRollOver function. All I want to do is hide the menu until the mouse rolls over it then I want it to pop up then on roll out hide itself again. The gallery is part of a larger site that loads the gallery into the index page and has a full screen function so it needs to stay at the absolute bottom of the page just above the footer at all times. Here is the code I'm working with but think I'm over complicating it.

I'm having a problem with importing a layered PSD file into Flash, an issue which i've read about in a number of forums but haven't yet been able to fix.
The content of the PSD file in question is numerous layers of line drawing which I am importing to the Stage and converting to keyframes in Flash. The layers have no white background and are clear but for the lines of drawing.
The problem I'm having is that the first layer of the PSD file imports perfectly, with its quality intact, but all those which follow it are distorted and jagged, and look pretty awful for some reason.
I have experimented with both lossy (set at 100) and lossless compressions to try and improve the layer quality, lossless is marginally better but not the best.

creating an image gallery for my site. Please see my photo link:I want all the thumbnail btns on the left to load the large photos on the right. For 3 of the thumbnails, I need to show more than 1 image so I created numeric btns underneath the large images that will load photo 1, photo 2 etc. The issue that I can only get this to work on layer 1 and 2, when I try to do this for another thumbnail I get this error:"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.t press2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()"This is the basic script that I am using for all my thumbnails:
ezo1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playezomag) ;
function playezomag(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("fefe1");

I am building a photo gallery in which the images are loaded into a frame_mc and the thumbs are loaded into a movieclip called thumbLoader. The gallery is going to have several categories, every category has its own button and is found on a separate keyframe on the main timeline. When I click the button of a specific category it goes to the appropriate category/gallery. I have a questions:I want to create a horizontal scroll pane for the category buttons but I really do not know the code. For a start, I know I'm going to make the buttons as movie clips, and the scroll pane has to scroll those movie clips. I want to have 2 direction buttons, one that scrolls the category buttons to the right, and the other one to the left.

Is there a way to have multi-tiered custom context menus using AS3? i.e. I would like for a user to be able to click or hover a menu item which would bounce out another menu of options associated with it.

Would anyone have any tutorials on how to create a multi stage zooming menu like in the following demo links?
[URL]
Is this done with actionscript or manually tweening several clips? I can't quite seem to get my head around zooming in and out of several layers. I am currently looking into the Laco tween class as a possible solution, but I was hoping that someone might already understand how to achieve this effect.

I am trying to create a menu, similar to a dock menu but that just magnifies the images when rolled over (rather than overly crazy carosels or massively zooming docks. and secondly...the dock menu would link to separate flvs that are on a streaming server. I've never worked with one before and wonder how to connect them to my flash. I'm trying to create an flv player, sorry, shouldve said earlier... but one that only plays 6 vids (linked to by the magnifying dock menu).

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.

REQS: - 3 layers of images (groups) with a parallaxe like effect, meaning: * through gaps in top layer you see the second and through that the third layer. * subsequent layers appear incrementally smaller. * top layer moves quickest, subsequent layers move incrementally slower * 'hazy' effect (gray semi transparant mask or blur) increases for 'farther' away layers.
- random keypress moves layers horizontally in one direction only. - space bar halts movement for all layers. - backspace and return keys zoom to next/prev layers.
- all keystrokes are visible in a textbox. Results are possibly used/stored. - pristine quality images - quick loading
I first started working out a prototype in Javascipt using JQuery and some available plugins after which I wrote some own code. This gets me in a good direction, but there's one MAJOR problem: file size. This, among other reasons, make me consider using Flash. I haven't used Flash in years and have just started diving into Actionscript 3, which is a beauty! Let me explain a bit more and tell me how feasible my idea is.

I'm trying to write a little flex app that has a paint/canvas type feature to draw an image, which I then want to post to a rails server side. I'm following the post here, but can't get as far as he did due to the following error: NoMethodError (undefined method `rewind' for #):I googled that and found this which says the problem is due to an empty filename, but I thought I had that from the example. However, I altered the example to simplify the post by reducing the form parameters, but I could have easily messed something up since I really don't know what I'm doing with this multipart form content. I was hoping to at least log the request params, but unfortunately I can't, since it's failing before being routed and due to my inexperience with rails. I'll ask that in a separate question and hopefully be able to edit this question with the request params.

I'm trying to find out how to make a simple image gallery which changes image upon a mouse click on a button, when a button is pressed I want the image to slide in from the left into the viewable area and then when another image is selected I want the previous image that was viewed to remain in the screen and then the new image slide across over the top to replace the image.
I can get the images to slide across from the left upon a mouse click however I can't change the layer order so if image 6 is viewed and then I click to see image 1, the image will slide into place however it will be below image 6 so therefore not viewable.
I don't have an example of what I'm after but I hope my explanation was good enough, I've seen this been done in javascript but I have to use flash and am unable to replicate the effect I'm after

I have this piece of code to change images. I was trying to figure out how you could put a timer on the code, so if the image has been displayed for say 5 seconds it diverts to the next image automatically? Also if it's not to hard, when it has played to the end to divert to the 1st image.

I have found an excellent tutorial and source file for a 3D image gallery. However I would like to make the thumbnail click thorugh to a url link when pressed rather than loading the image into the gallery.
Currently the images load in through actionscript. Is there a way to amend this script so you can specify that a thumbnail clicked links through to a url, like you would with a normal button instance rather than loading the image. Here is a link to the file and tutorial. The actionscript is on the top layer within the file.[URL]...

I am am not a developer but have bought a template which I am modifying to suit my needs. I have made most of the modifications but and stuck on how to change the animation for the image gallery. When I move from one picture to the next the animation effect is something like a bubble burst. This is too flamboyant for me. I would like to change it to something more sleek but have no clue where to start.

I have an image gallery but I can't seem to get the previous image removed. I have two functions:
ActionScript Code:
function clearLoader():void {
try {
var li:LoaderInfo = slideLoader.contentLoaderInfo;
[Code]....
But in some way not the previous image is removed, but the one before that. Annoying, because if image 1 is larger than image 2, image 1 stays on the background. It is only when loading image 3 the first image is removed from the stage.

So I'm having some trouble modifying this script. I have a text box so a user can go to a certain image (In my case page). So if the user type 5 it should go to image 5I've tried numerous methods, none of which are working (they work but then my next and previous buttons aren't working properly). I know I need to just get go to the number image in the array but the way the script is set up it seems I would have to change the current position value but that doesn't seem to be the case.Am I over complicating this?
ActionScript Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
f (loaded) {

I would like to be able to add the functionality of being able to load different galleries from a menu without loading a new mc with gallery inside it. I managed to botch the file up pretty good on my own, and was wondering if there is a ready answer nearby.So I'm thinking have but1, but2 and but3, with a seperate xml file for each. What would you recommend for a smooth way to swap the the xml files to the gallery, and load the first image of the new xml file? Also, can it be done with one big ol' xml file while keeping the galleries seperate? It's not necessary, but could be handy, and save some loading.It would also be interesting to apply the same principle to the resizing script that Scotty has in that big Resizing thread, just a thought.
