ActionScript 2.0 :: Preload XML Photo Gallery?
Jul 23, 2006
the XML photo Gallery tutorial I found here on Kirupa I'm nearly finished with my project. The one remaining thing is to add an initial preloader to my over all gallery. 'm running into a wall with a preloader lag on the first frame. I have read up on the "1st Frame" issue...nd have tried to apply this fix to no avail. I have turned off the first frame linkage to all the library elements as well as changed the export settings to the 2nd frame but, still the bandwidth profiler has me at over 30K on frame 1 - with nothing on it... ?

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 cannot seem to find any tutorial around this... when i click the next button, a new photo begins preloading (showing a loadbar or similar) *WHILE* the current photo is still in sight... after loading is complete loadbar and current photo fade out and the new photo fades-in in glorious color... something like the one used in [URL]

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?

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:

Flash slideshow by getting it to preload the next photo (from a folder of numbered jpgs) when the current photo is done loading, but I can't quite get it worked out and I'm not sure what I'm missing... What I thought I might try is to have two movie clips to hold photos, one on the stage and one off the stage.
I would load the current photo into the movie clip on the stage(pictures.slides) and when that finishes I would load the next photo in the movie clip off the stage (pictures.preloadNextPhoto) so that it would already download the image and would load faster when the user clicks "Next". It doesn't work. I won't load the whole script in here, but this is the movieloader function with the meat of the functionality:

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,

I am trying to create a preloader that will preload the images all at once that are in my XML gallery. I can get it to preload the swf but not the images that are in the /photos folder. This is the gallery, and the photos are named photo1.jpg thru photo5.jpg.[code]...

this has been driving me nuts for two days. After rewriting my code several different ways to figure out what's been going on, I just discovered that when I playback an online copy of my swf file in a browser, that I get an entirely different result compared to Flash 8's Download Simulation. The latter is playing it back correctly to what I expect, but when viewed through a web browser (Firefox, IE, Safari all on Mac OSX), I get the wrong result. I'm using the latest Flash Player as of today. The problem seems to be related to the preloader section. My code is based on the preloader code as in the tutorials for the XML Photo Galleries on this site. I am alternating between loading to two picture movie clips (A & B) to create a cross fade.
What should happen: The preloader comes up on top of the current image and should then cross fade between two images, which works perfectly in Flash8. What happens in the browser when viewing an online swf : It often fades the current image (all or partially) before it shows the preloader bar and then sometimes fades or cuts in the next image after the preloader bar has completed. This shouldn't be happening since fading (see code below) should only begin after the preloader has been run and hidden.

From my somewhat limited understanding of the AS, the next image is preloaded and waits until the button is clicked, and then swaps depths with the first image... I am trying to use this gallery, but have the image on top (one) fade out, so it would reveal the image below. But would it be easier to keep the swap the same, but alpha fade the second image from 0 to 100?

How can you expand the XML gallery (from the tutorial here on [URL] to automatically load the next image, and the next, etc. while the current picture has loaded (and most likely is being viewed for a moment by the visitor)?
here is the link for the xml gallery from 2004: [URL]

I am trying to preload images for an image gallery ina flash movie.
i have the images externally loaded so as not to bloat the swf but how do i start a preload for all the images when someone gets to the home/front page, so that by the time they get to the image gallery everything is loaded in memory so there's no delay?

I have a gallery of 30 plus images. The user will then use a scroll bar to flip through them. The images actually make up a sequence so I dont want to preload each one one at a time. I am also pulling in the images dynamically. Below is a bit of the code I am using. What I would like to have is all of the images preload on one frame and then once that is done go to frame two where I have the rest of the code for gallery manipulation.

I'm creating a flash portfolio which contains a 3D panel as a gallery which works relatively well right now. I wanted to put a preload so I put my preload code on the first frame and order to gotoandPlay(2) the second frame which works to but when the loading is done my 3D panel is totally ignored, the panel works with a class of course. Actually the problem seems to be more with the frame skip because I put my preload code in commentary and just having a frame before screws up my panel.

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 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.
