ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Instances Of XML Photo Gallery?
Oct 9, 2006
I am creating a complex photo gallery application with XML. Through the XML you may load individual images, or you may create mini photo galleries within the main application.At first, individual images and mini galleries are treated the same, I loop through data from the XML to create each instance.The mini gallerie's are then populated by a second loop within the first, to draw data from the next level of XML childNodes. For the mini gallery code I am using a modified version of What I have now works perfectly if there is only one mini gallery. As soon as I create a second mini gallery, the first one stops working. Or rather, the next and previous buttons from the first mini gallery control the second mini gallery rather than the first.
This seams strange to me because there are many other functions relating to the individual images that are created within the main "for" loop that work fine regardless of how many instances of individual images there are. The mini gallery functions are also located inside the main "for" loop, but rather than functioning for each mini gallery instance they work only for the last one created.I hope this descriptions is clear. I'm no expert at AS. I'd paste my AS code but it's way too long to post here!
I have it set up to load multiple XML files, but, when you select a new book/xml, i want it the thumbnails to refresh starting with thumbnail #1, instead of wherever it left off in the arraythis obviously has something to do with the variable k, but i am having a lot of trouble figuring out where to fix this at.
// Buttons to call each Gallery and reload data bookone_btn.onRelease = function() { xmlURL = "book1.xml"; // sets xml file
Being a newbie to this flash design and actionscript and self learning with the help of forums and tutorials I have create a simple photo gallery for a website I'm building. And all works fine. What I would like to do is add a list box to display different albums but I am having trouble with the actionscript and how to set out the XML file.

I was working yesterday with the galleries from Scotty - http:[url].... - trying to add a dropdown menu for the different galleries, instead of the buttons (I'm talking about the V3 with Thumbnails). My skills are not that good I realized. Do you have any idea on how to achieve this?
What I need is a combobox showing the different galleries i have on my XML file and if the user chooses another gallery, the it loads the new set of pictures and thumbnails.
I've created an image gallery that loads movieclips from my library with a simple navigation system. Everything seems to be working fine however I'd like to add some additional functionality. What i would like to do is have the navigation first appear on a splash page. When a user selects one of the nav buttons, the nav will fade out. The image selected will then fade in as well as the navigation but smaller and tucked away to the side.
Users can then continue to sift through the gallery with new (smaller) navigation. I don't know if any of that made sense so I whipped up a few images to demonstrate what i mean. I've also attached a zip file with the current gallery I've created.

its for a photo gallery that I downlowded,the images fades in and out, but only start that when you click a button(timer).I'm trying to founf out where in the script I can change this, so that the photo's start automatically,rather than, on a button click.I have pasted the script below, is that ok, or would people rather a zip file of the files?

I have an XML photo gallery, that when it starts it has a loader for the photos. It always starts with the XML file determined sequence, which is fine, but what happens is that the tabs on the right hand side of the photo loader go astray while it is loading the first photo. If the first photo was loaded instantly this wouldnt be an issue.Is there a way that I can preload that first photo, so that it is in memory when the swf file reads the XML file, allowing the first photo to be instantly loaded ?Amongst other things, I tried embedding the photo in the swf file, but it didnt work...obviously I have no idea what to script...I also created another scene, prior to the main scene, to preload the photo.. but it didnt work either, again probably used useless script...Going further in detail, this is the main script:
I have been searching for a particular photo gallery, and haven't got far. Here is an example of what I am looking for. With the example I wanting the user to be able to click on a photo for it to appear in the box above. I am looking for a tutorial, so I can customise to fit in my client's flash website.
What 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 am trying to add extra images to the photo gallery attached. I would have thought it is easy and it seems so. I add an extra image to the gallery. I publish it. The html file shows the extra image in the gallery but the swf doesnt. driving me crazy, cant work it out?
I 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). Again,
ActionScript Code: stop(); var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml"); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
[Code]....
So I figured that the coding of separate scenes would work independently of one another, but I guess I was dead wrong, because when I apply this to a different scene and change the XML path for a different set of images, I get all sorts of conflict errors when I test the entire movie. I have my flash film set up so that each link send the user to a different scene, which plays a unique intro for each, and then the slideshow appears on screen and the viewer can navigate the images.
Is there a work around for this? Or am I going to have to break my flash movie into separate movies? Or should I just add a suffix to all my vars and functions so that they are unique for each scene?
I have got a free swf flash photo gallery of the internet. using dreamweaver cs4 to install the swf file,the file plays on my local browser but only some of the master images display on the live internet gallery. the navigation icons do notcan not figure out where the problem lies, is it in the flash code or the structure of the files in the directory. I have no idea
The problem is that im trying to add a premade photo gallery to my fla with CS5 i have three files swf/xml/photo folder.which one should i add to my fla all three files are in my root folder.
Does anyone know of a easy to install photo gallery. I'm assuming it would have to be flash. I want to implement it on my own site. I am looking for the one that is thumbnails,and when you click a thumbnail, it expands and you can navigate through the other photos.
I've just completed the "photo gallery using XML and Flash" tutorial, but i've managed to get stuck uploading my own images. The tutorial shows you how to place images from the internet into the gallery, but doesnt tell you source images from your own hard drive.
** I basically want to put the gallery on a CD so i can give it to someone, and i wanted to source images from the same folder as the actual gallery itself.
I'm building a portfolio website, and I want one of the pages to be a gallery featuring my work.I want to have small image thumbnails on the side, when I click on a thumbnail an image loads through xml (externally) then I want that image to have a prev. and next buttons these buttons load images that are also external.basically each thumbnail loads a diff. image and that image has next and prev. buttons loading other images.I want the images to have a preloader and I also want the images to fade in and out.I've been searching the web for a tutorial or example to help me out, but I didn't have much success.
I'm trying to create a photo gallery using XML. I know there is a lot of tutorial on this, but I cannot make my particular code to work. Actually it seem to work, but only for the first image in the XML file, the others seem to be discarded.what I am doing wrong.Here is my XML code:
I am using Flash Professional 8. I made a Flash photo gallery driven by XML using the tutorial ash_photogallery.htm". When I publish it by pressing ctrl+enter or publish on web by pressing F12, everything is fine. I can see photographs, descriptions, and fully working buttons. But when I put my .swf clip to the website I am developing, nothing comes on it.I am still testing these on my PC and yet to upload them on web.
tutorial of photo gallery, the problem is that the scroller for the thumbnails doesnt work, i mean it doesnt appear, theres nothing on the screen, i dont know what the problem is, the pictures above appear correctly but the problem is the scroller, i have tried a lot of thing but i cant get it to work, maybe the problem is that i used flash cs3, and the tutorial was made for flash mx 2004
I used this (Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash) that is in the tutorial, it's all write but how can i do the same but putting the images in a folder.Because now they have to be in the same location than the .fla, .swf, .xml.
I'm currently building a site for my photography. (broke college student) but I followed this tutorial and loved it but I'm wondering how I could number each photo? So when you click on the next button it shows you that your on photo 2 out of 65? [URL]
make a photo gallery that, when a photo is rolled over, enlarges that certain image and text appears. did a search in the forum and found something similar i have never used flash before, and i would love a good tutorial.
