ActionScript 2.0 :: Slideshow / XML Gallery - Control With The Previous And Next Buttons
Jan 12, 2007
I am not a programmer, but have managed to combine the slideshow, image gallery and hover features of the provided scripts to create a slideshow that you can control with the previous and next buttons. I have also been able to connect it to an access database so you can control the images / info through Content Management console. once this has been sorted I will post the code here, if its any use to anyone. Here is the script!
First off let me say that this forum is a lifesaver. I managed to figure out the links in xml file myself, but I cant seem to get the next/previous buttons working the way I want them to. I have got them to work to the point where they will bring up the next image, this is until it gets to the end of the xml node, then it wont start over from the beginning if I hit next. Here is my code:
first off, i'm pretty new with actionscript so the answer to this question may be obvious. however, i cannot for the life of me figure out what i'm doing wrong or how to fix it. so, i went through the tutorial for the auto slideshow with xml [URL] everything is working great for the auto slideshow; however, my issue is with the "previous" and "next" buttons. the "previous" seems to work in that it will back up to the previous slide, no problem, but if my slides are times for 3 seconds each and i hit previous at 2.5 seconds into the current slide, i only have .5 seconds to view the previous slide and not the full 3 seconds.
OK next issue is with the "next" button -- i have 4 slides/photos it works fine from slide 1 to slide 2, but if i hit next to go from 2 to 3 the slideshow starts an endless loop from 1 to 3 to 1 to 3 to 1 and it never jumps out of that loop. the same thing happens from 3 to 4 -- the loop is 2 to 4 to 2 to 4 to 2. again, it doesn't break the loop and go back into the regular sequence. here's the actionscript as it appears in my flash file:
Anyone know of any examples (source files or tutorials) of XML image slideshows where the slideshow is advanced via "previous" and "next" buttons and that utilize cross-fades between images?
i try to do next and previous function for my gallery but for now its dont work very good1st time when i click next it go 2x to the same imageand sometimes it dont go to the good image, i post my code if someone can help me iam nooB,(the problem is where is Bold)
I try to implement a gallery of image with two buttons on each side of the picture to go to the next or the previous image.
This is my code: leftButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ButtonLeftHandler); rightButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ButtonRightHandler); function ButtonLeftHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { trace("Mouse Button Left clicked"); picIndex--; [Code] .....
On my output, I get Sequence Stopped When I clicked on a button. I don't get the trace message "Mouse button left..." My sequence is blocked.
My question is in reference to the hybrid gallery described here Basically I am attempting to create a next and previous button for this particular version of the gallery. I know what's going wrong, I just don't know *why*. Here's my code:
Code: function dopress() { for (var i = 0; i<cliparray.length; i++) {
Any way to add 2 buttons : next_image, prev_image to this gallery [URL], when the image is loaded at full size I want that 2 buttons to apper and when I press them to load me next image or pre image
The source cod is this import caurina.transitions.*; var folder:String = "photos/"; var css_file:String = "flashmo_202_style.css"; var show_tooltip:Boolean = true; // true OR false var tween_duration:Number = 0.6; [Code] .....
I want to add a slideshow to a web page. I have made a slide show with flash however I really want to add the play controls. Is this possible using CS4 Flash
Just finally making the transition from AS2 to AS3.All i need to do at this point is make two buttons which will control the movie to goto next frame and previous frame. I have gotten how to make the buttons go to a specified frame number and also a button to go to a specified external url but no success in making a simple next/previous pair of buttons.
I used a tutorial ("Photo Gallery and Thumbnails: Flash Tutorial!" by tutvid on utube) to create a gallery on my website. I love the thumbnail navigation but, I want it to play like a slideshow when it first opens and I want to add play/pause buttons. I am using Flash MX 2004 and don't know much at all about actionscript or how to make these modifications. I emailed the author of the tutorial to see if it was possible to make these changes his reply was: "Yes, it is possible to modify the file in this way, however I don't remember how I set it up so I wouldn't be able to re-code it for you in this email. I would take a look around the web at Actionscript 2.0 slide shows and see if you can use the code they are using and make it work with your gallery."
I've got a website with three links to three different thumbnail galleries. When I click the link to a gallery that has a lesser number of thumbnails, it fills the difference in numbers in with thumbnails from the previous gallery.
this fullscreen slideshow with random pictures which will be the background of a client's web-site. I have everything working, the preloader, the imaging loading and transitions.There's one thing however that's happening and I don't know how to fix it. What's happening - naturally - is that the previous image is still there, in the background, and I would like that to be removed, I would like to have the previous loader, or just the holder movieclip to get off stage, but I really don't know how to add that to my code.What I was thinking was something in the lines of a for loop. Something like creating the picture's holder inside that for loop so each will be like, picHolder1, picHolder2, picHolder3...and so on. And with that, on completion of the preloader I would remove something like "picHolder -
I am having problems with a flash file i am working on. Basically i have created a slideshow/ebook that includes two buttons that move forward and backward on the timeline. On each page or frame of the main timeline are other buttons and movie clips. Anyways, I am trying to figure out how ,for example , if the user flips forward quickly through the slideshow that the sounds do not continue to play on the next or previous frames. Everything else on the file works great , it's just a matter of keeping the sounds from overlapping.
i bought this gallery online and it looks really cool but i am trying to add some more to it but is not easy.
1) i would like to add a next and prev function to the xml gallery, buttons that can advance the images just by clicking left or right with the mouse
2) I'd like to add a caption text that stay still(the one that is there moves on rollover action and is added to each thumbnails but i deleted them) and that will show the caption everytime i press a thumb, basically an info text box that communicate with the xml.
I'm using Kirupa's xml image gallery and what I'm trying to accomplish is to have the gallery loop forward and back, that is when a user clicks the forward button and it comes to the last image it will automatically "loop" and go to the first one and if the user clicks the back button and he's on the first image it will go backwards. I was able to get the forward loop working, but not the back one.
Here's my code: function nextImage() { if (p<(total-1)) { p++; if (loaded == filesize) { picture._alpha = 0; picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1); slideshow(); [Code] .....
[URL] I've added some stuff like : a preloader, and caurina tweener (as well as I could... )and now I would like to continue to learn by hiding the previous button on first load and then hiding next button on last photo i've tried to paste this code at a thousand different places but nothing happens.
I have a very nice picture gallery made in CS3 / AS3. I managed to personalize it and all. But, I have difficulty with (or no clue... actually), how to add a precious and next button to it(image).
This is the link for the zip file, containing all the neccesary files: [URL]
And in the attachment I pointed out where I prefer to have these two buttons.

I have the following website: http:[url]....A portfolio website based on a flash file which communicates with a xml file... code mixed togeather from some tutorials.The problem, is with the "previous" and "next" buttons: I dont know how to make them disappear when there isnt another image link in the xml file.
Action script:
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {[code]...........
I have a sliding photo galley with a previous and next button. I have added action script to tell the linked pictures to slide along and for the next button its fine (I took the script from a forum...as you do). I put stop commands on the key frames over the next picture, Now if I am on the 4th image and click previous, its goes all the way back to the start!
I am working on a project, an online document, that is going to require buttons for next page and previous page. I have laid out the document in InDesign and have created the buttons in Flash. My only problem is I don't know how to add that interactivity. I'm guessing it is just a couple lines of ActionSctipt but I am not sure.
Ive just completed the Kirupa XML Slideshow today and have it all working well. But i cant figure out how to fade out the previous image as the next image fades in.
i am relatively new to flash and actionscript 3 but i have been recently making a website and i have got to a stage where one page is pulling in SWF's via an XML document. There are left and right arrows which load up the next/previous SWF. The right arrow works fine, it loads the next one up and then due to some AS3 code when it gets to the end it loops back around. The left arrow goes back a frame until it comes to the beginning and it wont loop to the end. Below is a copy of the code that i am using. I am aware that i need to create the event listener for the arrow and i am fine with that, its just the function to go with it that i am struggling with.
I've made a website using AS3 in CS5 Flash, I then decided to add a 'Slideshow Gallery' into the site. I made a new page, called it 'gallery' (this page is made from frames 73-86) and then looked at making a slideshow.[code]...
