I download a free photo gallery from [url]... and works fine. But when I put this gallery in a frame in my flash site justs appears but doesn't work. It's says Error opening URL 'file:undefined'
Should I change all the paths in the actionscript?
Just trying to make a flash photo gallery that displays all the image files in a certain directory with the usual photo gallery functionality.
View 1 Repliesi am trying to get the photo gallery made by flashmo available here: [URL]to display .swf instead of external .jpg files as it was originally intended for. This system is .xml based where it obtains details of the images to display from the external .xml file.
I have the system working for the photo gallery but i need a page where a show animations that are already compiled into self contained .swf files. The site I am building if purely flash and consists of just one main.swf file.
To get the system to work I simply changed the filename in the .xml file to direct the system to a .swf animation file as oppose to a .jpg file and the system worked perfectly. oh so i thought...........
Testing the site within flash under the "test movie" (ctrl + enter) option proved the system to be fully functional with no issues at all. However when exported as a flash .swf movie file as a standalone file when ran locally through directly clicking on the .swf the animations page would simply display "NaN%" where the percentage loaded should be displayed and clicking on the thumbnails to load different .swf movie files didn't do anything, the .swf animation files will never load, nothing is ever shown apart from the empty loading bar and "NaN%". Loading the .swf locally through the browser by means of a simple html page doesn't make a difference either.
To make it a little more strange, when the site was uploaded to an online server and visited remotely through the browser it would do the same but clicking on the thumbnails loaded the corresponding .swf animation file fine and the "NaN%" error after the initial display is never seen again until the browser is closed and re-opened to visit the site again. The system is set to initially load the first .swf animation clip.
The code for the loading is:
pic._alpha = 0;
pic.loadMovie(filepath + photo_filename[p]);
pic_desc.txt = photo_description[p];
[code]....
Only minor changes to the code have been made by me and I am no expert at this at all so it could be something really simple. I feel the fact that it works under testing, partially when online and not at all when run directly and indirectly (browser) locally is strange and there must be an explanation for this that one of you experts must know.
I've been creating an XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 following a tutorial. I followed the instructions step-by-step but at the end I got the following error message instead:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found. Could anyone in the community assist me as to how to solve the problem? The script has no errors and last time I checked all the applicable files (the .xml file, the .jpg files, the .swf and the .fla file) are in my Documents folder on the Mac.
I'm building a dynamic XML photo gallery/case study application that allows users to filter relevant results and then view the corresponding text/photos. So far I've used list components to scan my XML document and return the results for the filters, and then add thumbnails to a panel. When you click on the thumbnail, it brings up the first of a series of images, which I load into a Loader instance and add it to the stage using addChild();
The image sequence is then controlled by a series of navigational buttons, of which currently I only have "Next" and "Previous". The buttons work by incrementing/deincrementing a variable that is the index of the image currently being displayed, so when you hit next, it adds/subtracts 1 from that variable, and then uses that number for the index of my <image> tag in the XML doc. All works fine until you reach the end of the images.
I have a conditional that tests if the currentImg variable is equal to the length(); property of the XML tag, and if it is, it resets the currentImg value to 0. And vice versa for the previous button. But when the file is published, and I reach the last image and hit the next button, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at MethodInfo-346()
The strange thing is, that if I hit next again, it does what it is supposed to do by going to the first image. Then if I cycle through the images once again the same thing happens. And the same scenario and error occurs when I hit the previous button on the first image. If I need to somehow remove the images from memory, or if they are still in memory and I need to access them a different way the second time around?
im fairly new to actionscript 3 and i am trying to make a xml photo gallery for my father. It's nowhere near done but I am trying to load the pictures from xml and i keep getting this error

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:
Code:
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.simpleSetup(Shortcuts, PennerEasing);

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.
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 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?
View 14 RepliesI 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,
I can't seem to get the XML photo gallery to work in any mac browsers.
is there a fix for this?
I'm currently working with the XML gallery at [URL]
With the code provided below, what do I need to change to make the images load and be centered over the 'host' MC (instance name "picture"), rather than having the anchor at the top left?
This is because the images I am loading varying is dimensions so having it load centered over the "picture" MC would help keep the image position... consistantly centered in the gallery.
Current code:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

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
View 1 RepliesThe 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.
View 1 RepliesDoes 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.
View 3 RepliesI'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.

Anybody knows create dynamic photo gallery same as http:[url].....
View 4 RepliesI'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 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.
View 2 Repliestutorial 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
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI'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]
View 1 RepliesI'm working with XML and setting up a portfolio gallery. I basically want a thumbnail to be clicked and have an image opening, but i want the instance name of a button that is clicked to be stored in a variable that can be used when calling the images from the XML. I'm just trying to get the number that is in the instance name of btn2, and use that number 2 to reference the ID # in the xml file. I know there are easier ways to do this, but I didn't want to write new functions for all the numerous thumbnails on the site.
PHP Code:
btn1. addEventListener(MouseEvent.Click, _onBtnClick);
function _onBtnClick( e:MouseEvent ):void {
var clickedBtn = event.target.name;
}
Also the thumbnails are not being loaded through the XML, would it be easier to load the larger images without functions for each thumb, if I had the thumbs being referenced through the XML?
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.
