ActionScript 2.0 :: Photo Gallery Using XML And Flash - Swf Instead Of Images
Jun 29, 2007
I have been trying to to trick out Chinnathambi's great photo Gallery with thumbnails project, but I want to have swf's load in instead of just images. I'm having a bit of a problem, I changed my xml targeting to have swf's instead of jpg's, the swf's load fine, the scroll function works but once the first swf is loaded in, it cashes the swf and whenever any of the other thumbnails are clicked, the cashed swf loads again, not the one in the xml for the just clicked thumbnail. This is driving me crazy, is there a way to empty the container MC on clicking the thumbnails?
so I made a flash photo gallery the other day and the images look fine when their on the server before they are pulled into flash via an xml file, but once they appear in the gallery within flash they appear to be washed out or desaturated a bit. At first they were under the Adobe RGB color profile but then I realized they had to be sRGB...I reuploaded the files and they are still slightly washed out. What am I doing wrong?, I want them to look the same as they do as individual files when their not pulled into flash.
I'm building a Flash photo gallery, and I came up with a solution using Flash and XML which is very, very similar to the one in this tutorial: [URL]. The catch is, I'd like to preload all of the images listed in the XML array before showing the first picture. Simply using _framesloaded will obviously not work; I searched around a bit on Internet, but I haven't yet found a solution. I thought I might try using an external script in PHP or javascript and use fscommand() in Flash, but I wanted to post here to see if anyone could think of another (simpler) way.
how do I go about putting a simple photo gallery with about 3 or 4 different images on my website. methe programs that I need to sownload and any other useful materials that would be needed to get this completed.
I am trying to build an xml photo gallery in flash that will use lightbox for viewing large images. I have successfully built the thumbnail portion.My goal is to insert the swf into an HTML page and launch lightbox from the swf. Here is the code: First I use a Thumbnails class which imports the tweener class
how do I get lightbox to work when I click on the thumbnails? I found this thing called lightboxinjector that seems like it would work, but I am not advanced enough to understand the directions it gives for dynamic use. Or is there a lightbox clone that will work for this?
I already created my photo gallery with : down thumbnails and up a display with the big picture appearing when I pass my mouse over the thumbnails. Till now the pictures are just appearing in the display with no effect . How can I make them appear fading in the main display. May'be see my fla for better idea.
I have built a photo gallery connecting to a data base through php. Each photo loads in on a targeted movie clip. Is there any way to resize the image using flash before its displayed?
i have both vertical and horizontal pictures... The horizontal pictures work great! But what code and where would I add it if I wanted to tell Flash to center the vertical photos in the large gallery.
I currently have a photo gallery where the images have a basic fade when switching photos.But I came across this site and their gallery, and noticed it's not just a simple fade... but looks like a high contrast fade, or something else. Does anyone know if this is able to be done with flash and actionscript 3.0? Or are there other components, programs, applications involved?
I'm attempting to create a thing where my thumbnails will scroll across the bottom of the page, like when you put the mouse on the right it scrolls right and visa versa. I found a great tuturial only to realize halfway in that it was done with Flash 8, therefore apparently quite a few things have changed. And this is my first stab at FlashThe first place i noticed is when my motion tween didn't work, so I instead created a 'Classic Tween' finding it had the same affect as 'Motion Tween' in Flash 8, however as I progressed in the tut, I don't think the results were the same.
My images scroll but after creating a _xmouse<40){........prevFrame, there only continue to scroll, the prevFrame command doesn't work!So to my question...does anyone know of a good tut for this type of thing for CS5? OR, is anyone really familiar with both Flash 8 and CS5 and e differences for what I'm attempting to create?
I followed the tutorial concerning the "Photo Gallery using XML and Flash", and everything works great. The only problem is that I have to make some alterations in the initial code, and I just can't get it right.
Here's what I have to do: 1. Introduce a fade out that intertwines with the fade in of the nextImage; 2. Add a link to the xml, so that when the user clicks the images, each leads to a different page.
To achieve this, I've tried to play around with the alpha values on prevImage, slideshow, and nextImage functions, but as for the results either the pictures don't appear, or simply flash intermittently when they do. As for the Link part, I've trying to introduce a <link> line on the xml file, and put a 'href' value on the <image> line. None worked.
I've made this photo gallery but I'd like to add some extra things but don't know how to do it. #1 - a preloader for the image loading, #2 - make the image to show gradually like fading in in the box.
I've made an image gallery and it works great. What I want to do is make the main image a link to a certain part of the site. The first link works great, but then I get[url]...
Basically, I made an invisible button on each main image for the link.[code]...
im making a web page that must containt photo gallery (noncomercial use). i downloadet allready comleted photo gallery and now i need to update it.evrything works fine, but i need to add rolower image so it will show me before and after images when i rollower on image.
I'm trying to get some general info and be pointed in the right direction to make kinda like a photo gallery where they can be dragged, and moved around like several squire images that can overlap one another, and if you click an image that is under another image, it will come upfront..
I'm coding an XML photo gallery that displays thumbnails on the stage. But only 9 of these thumbnails can be viewed at a time. So I created a multidimensional array that groups my XML image nodes in groups of 9. The array is loading flawlessly but my thumbnail display function is having a few issues. First, only one image is being displayed instead of all images in the array. And I tried tracing the array in the output panel and it lists all the image files just fine. So I don't understand why the loadClip function is not rendering the images on stage. And secondly my grid repositioning function is not arranging the images as I would like it to (3x3 matrix).
Code: ====AS 2.0===== function thumbDisplay(arrayN) { var nodeConversion:Number = 0;[code]....
I'm rather new to AS3 but I have to make a gallery like on this website. [URL]. I have only 4 pictures and 4 buttons but I have also two arrows on each side. I would like to make it in a main timeline. Like an easy animation and than with as3 send user to one of those four pictures when he is clicking on buttons.
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,
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'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 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.
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.
