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?

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 have modified hga77's gallery and made some changes with the style. I am still having some problems and need three things sorted out. Well, two aren't essential but the first one is.1. Most importantly, On Load I need the first image in the XML file to load in and have a border.2. Get the percentage preloader working.
View 1 RepliesI've been using Senocular's free transform tool: [URL] in tandem with an image upload (using the fileReference class) so that users can upload an image and the transform it.
The free transform class has a function that allows you to restrict the scaling of the movieClip that you apply the free transform to, but it works on a 'scale' rather than specific height and width properties. My problem is, that I don't know what he dimensions of each uploaded image will be, so if it's restricted to a scale, some images will be allowed to be bigger than others....
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]...
View 2 Repliesthis 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.

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... ?

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]

View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 2 Repliesi 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]

View 14 RepliesI'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.
I'm having trouble with loading in an external image that I can transform with the Senocular Transform Tool class. I have managed to load in the picture but the transform class doesn't seem want to grab it. Eventually I want to us the FileRef to upload the image but I just need to figure out how it works first. Here my code to load in the external image

The transform class can grab the other movieclips but it doesn't want to grab the new image loaded in from the code above.
I'm trying to preload an image into a clip and then have it run an animation with the image after it's preloaded. This is the code that I'm using within the clip containing the image (FLA attached):
frame 1:
this.loadMovie("image1.jpg",1);
frame3:
if ( this.getBytesLoaded == this.getBytesTotal && this.getBytesTotal > 0 ) {
// If the movie has fully loaded then go to and play the image animation in the
[Code].....
Note: If the image preloaded correctly, it should fade out once it's loaded.
how to preload all the thumbnails and the first picture from an XML.
i figure it would be something like this place all thumbnails into a holder(thumbnail_mc) and getBytesTotal() and getBytesLoaded() then getBytesTotal() and getBytesLoaded() of the first picture which is in it's own holder(image_mc)add the getBytesTotal() together add the getBytesLoaded() together then create preloader from these
I am working on a slideshow where images are loaded from XML.Currently the slide show starts when all the images are loaded.
I want to preload one image at one time i.e when first image is loaded,first image should be displayed then preloader for next image is to be shown and after that next images is displayed and so on..
onLoadStart = function()
onLoadProgress = function()
onLoadComplete = function()
I'm making a flv movie with dynamically loaded cuepoints (from xml).On every cuepoint there should fade in an image (jpg) . The path to this image is sent with the cuepoints.To be sure an image is loaded before the cuepoint is passed, i've created a preloader that preloads 4 image from the xml before even starting the video.After the video is started the preloader preloads the remaining images in the background.All works well expect for 1 thing:Flash does not seem to cache my preloaded images. In the bandwidthprofiler i can see that when a cuepoint passes, flash loads the preloaded images again. why does flash reload the image while it is already preloaded?[code]
View 3 Replieswant to preload the embedded swf's as you would images using javascript or css. I have so far been unsuccessful. I am trying to avoid having the great big white patches in the site while the menu or stocklist(on the stocklist page) load, and id prefer not to have a loading bar while it does. If possible id like to have all images and swf's loaded and cached before the page is displayed so it appears seemingly instantly. Is this possible?I first attempted to do this with a standard image preloading javascript and failed. Is it at all possible to preload swf's with javascript, if not what are my options?
View 6 Replieshave a swf file calling an xml file w/ several images. I want the first image to load in the swf, then the additional images in the xml file to load invisibly in the cache while the viewer looks at the first image.he point is to create a seamless flow through a gallery, rather than having each iamge preload.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie that calls other movie clips with a preload and fade for each external mc called. but after you call and load the swf in the container it disappears aftre about 30 seconds it disappears if you dont do anything and then it comes back after about 30 seconds. I am using this script for the preload object and fade.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(dummy ==1){
_root.text._alpha += 10;
} loaded = _root.clip.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.clip.getBytesTotal();
[Code] .....
Then this is on every frame to make it use the preload and fade in the new loaded swf after it shows it loading.
clip.loadMovie("GuardHouse.swf");
clip._alpha = 0;
now = 0;
text.dummy = 1;
//now load the external file into the myData object
myData.load("GuardHouse.txt");
stop();
Also I dont know if this has anything to do with this problem but when I load an external swf it does not show any actions i have in there or any text but does show images and shapes but not dynamic text boxes or fades or anything like that. You can view it at the url below. I have listed the link to the main movie swf and the map1.swf that it calls when you click on floor plan so you can see when you view the map1.swf by itself there is more stuff that does not show up when loaded into the main swf.

I'm trying to get a preload movie clip (progress_clip) to show up when an image is being pulled from the xml data bank and then shut the visiblity to false when the image is done loading. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong any bump in the right direction would be very cool.

I got the swf online at url...If you go to any section in the designs menu (3d design, 2d design or webdesign) and click a image you get the script that gives the NaN.I only get NaN in Firefox, Internet Explorer just gives 0.

View 1 RepliesJust 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 Repliesbasically i would like to dynamically display and preload an image onto my main movie clip. this image would be the first item in my xml file. on my main timeline i would like to have a few buttons that a user could click to change the default image on the page.
when they select a new image, i would like to have the preloader appear above the default image and then tween between the old and new image (one fading out and one in kinda thing).i sourced some code but i've been having problems preloading the first image. the image loads but the preloader doesn't do anything. it seems like the preloader doesn't seem to recognise that i'm trying to load an image. it thinks it's fully loaded and carries on before the load can begin!i would also like attach a different preloader for the first image displayed than the ones being loaded via the buttons.
how can i tell flash to pop a preloader after the user click the import image via link?
Code:
image_button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, load_image);
// load image

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);
