ActionScript 2.0 :: Thumbnail Size In Photo Gallery Using XML And Flash Tutorial?
Jun 13, 2010
Based on the Photo Gallery using XML and Flash tutorial found here:I�m having trouble with loading thumbnail images of various sizes which overlap if they are smaller than the previous image.The specific line that causes this is target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k;I�ve tried all sorts of things with the closest being the following which put the images in the right size, but with the omission of �k� their order is backwardstarget_mc._x = (thumbnail_mc._width+5);Here is the full function block as per the tutorial
I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial my code i a little bit different, modified for easing thumbnails.How do I make this work for thumbs with different width??[code]
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,
original: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:
I've been watching a tutorial on making a thumbnail photo gallery with Flash. Unfortunately the only tutorial I could find that explained everything step by step was for Flash MX and I'm using Flash CS4. It seems that the scripting code is different. I've never written Flash script before. I am trying at this point to give a rollover effect to a thumbnail image, so when the mouse goes over the thumbnail the thumbnail will get brighter. The code given in the tutorial didn't work, but by looking at the debugger messages it seems like the script should be something like:[code]I converted the thumbnail to a button symbol and then created an instance of the button called thumb1. The code is applied to a keyframe.
[URL] how to make a Flash Thumbnail Photo Gallery. I am designing a bigger photo gellery based on this code how do I have the photo gallery to list 2 rows of thumbs 5 accross and 2 rows. This code is the code that designs the thumbnail movie clip.
I learned from great kirupa tutorial and implemented the thumbnail gallery in my site.If I open the site in browser Opera or Firefox (FP 8.0.0.447) i see only 1 thumbnail image - is it bug in Player? In IE 6 I have FP 7.0.19.0 and I can see all thumbnails in the navigation bar - also correct.
I'm trying to get two thumbnail movieclips on the same page to display two different arrays of pictures. It's not working though and I'm not sure why, could someone please look at my xml and ActionScript and see what I'm doingwrong. I've been at this for a few hours now and I can't see whats wrong.
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 want each image that opens up from the scrolling thumbnails below to have another set buttons relating to the main image. for instance:
[Code]...
numbers = buttons linked to another set of external images that are related to the big image. the problem is i don't know what controls the thumbnail/main image when i click on the scroller (i'm kinda lost in the code). so right now i have only one set of numbers regardless of which big image opens up.
I'm having some problems with the XML/FLASH Photo Gallery Tutorial ([URL]). When I load the swf file into another movie the dynamic text will not display. Any thoughts to why this is happening.
I remember seeing a few tutorials here and there for using php to generate an XML file of all the pics in a directory. I tried looking for one but can't seem to find any. Does anyone have any links to one?
Im using xml photo gallery with thumbnail and right now when i hover th mouse on the left the thumbnail move to the left and same when i hover to the right.instead of moving my cursor left and right I want to put button on both side and if someone click left button, that time the thumbnail will only move.
I'm developing an XML thumbnail photo gallery and haveeverything working out correctly except for the grouping of mythumbnails on the stage. I can only display 9 thumbnail images at atime, and if I have more than 9 in my XML data file I have aproblem. What would be the best way to group my thumbnails in setsof 9? How can I set a limit to the display of these thumbnails ifsay, I have 20 thumbnail images? I was thinking of grouping theinformation into arrays, but is this the only feasible way to go
I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: [URL] And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
I saw the tutorial here on how to make a Flash XML photo gallery with a scrolling thumbnail bar. Awesome!
The thing is, the example he DIDN'T choose to illustrate is the one I want make - exactly.[URl]..Is there somewhere else I can find this? The problem is that I have say, 16 photos and I want 4 displaying on the stage at one time. I want a forward / back button available to switch through the remaining 12 images, when the user clicks the buttons (as opposed to a scroller, which I find difficult to control and therefore less useable).
The problem comes when loading the four images from my XML file. I am able to load the first four, but how do I indicate in AS that the next four images are to be loaded, until there are no more images left? What if I add 5 more, I want to be able to have that AS load them. I was using a mod function in my script, but I keep getting the wrong remainder. I'll have to post the code later.
I modified a version of the xml photo gallery tutorial featured on this website, and am using that. But when my images pop up the quality is horrible. I've gone through and checked everything I know to look at. Then I decided to build my flash site twice as big, and use pictures that were twice as big to get some quality. This didn't work either..
I am pretty new to AS3. Basically I have a photo gallery that runs in a container, which is added to the stage like so: import com.xmlphotoalbum.*; var gallery:XmlPhotoAlbum = new XmlPhotoAlbum(); gallery_container.addChild(gallery);
I want to have it set up so when you click on a "gallery" button, it reloads/refreshes the gallery to its initial state, because the "internal" navigation of the gallery isn't very intuitive...and so the only thing I can think of is essentially to remove the gallery and re-add it, so that whenever "gallery" button is clicked, it resets the gallery to its initial thumbnail view. I've tried fumbling around with removeChild, addChild, if statements, and I'm pretty lost.
I would like to create a simple photo gallery in as3. I would like the user to be able to click on the image thumbnail and see an enlarged version come up next to it. The only galleries I see for flash are XML galleries and it was really complicated the last time I tried it.
I'm a newbie with AS2....and i wanted to learn to create a photo gallery that scrolls right or left, and that when you click on the photo it becomes bigger.Well I found a tutorial from a site. The only thing is that... when I built it and applied it to my project it does not work:The issue is that it takes over the main page, even though is in its own swf file....(It's part of a flash website, where each page is loaded separately...in this case this AS is in one page (portfolio) and when it gets loaded in the main page...the AS acts upon the "root"...I really don't know how to change the script to only act upon the native swf file. I'm using a loader component to load the external pages...not sure if this is what's causing the issue? :roll: Also, aside from all the photos appearing across the entire horizontal part of the page(they do get to scroll), but when you click on the photo ..it does enlarge but it freezes the whole page. I would like for this action to only be constrain to the size of the page, which is a different size than the one of main page, and to be able to be clickable...I know this might sound confusing... supply a url...to explain things better! In the mean time here is the code....
I have made a image-viewer. I've this AS for the viewer:
Code: import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; function loadXML(loaded) {[code].....
Now i would like to make a loop for the thumbnails so they don't have a beginning or end(Now when i scroll to the right the thumbnails stop at the last thumbnail, i want it to begin at the first thumb again).I'm also trying to make that the middle thumbnail represents the photo in target_mc.
I just pulled together a picture gallery, where the pictures simply scroll across the screen using arrows. I used the template from [URL] The problem is that when I added my own pictures, the graphic symbol was obviously a different size from the original template. So when the images scroll they should stop at a certain point as to not show any empty space. I changed the values that i guessed were the ones setting up where the graphic has to stop at, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything. The code below is the only script of any importance, at least that I know of. The other stuff just points to targets and gotoandplay stuff.
I've been going through a lot of tutorials online regarding photo galleries etc., and not many seem to facilitate shrinking the actual photo for use as a thumbnail (possibly due to the performance limitations). My project won't have that problem, as it will be stored on an internal network. basically, I want to dynamically load a picture and shrink it for use as a thumbnail in a gallery.
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 a question regarding the photogallery tutorial on this site. Currently, all tutorials related to it (including adding of thumbnails) is written in such a manner that they assume all photos would be of equal size ie 300x200.
However, I do not have any such luxory and am stuck as I am not able to get it to work here.
The code is more or less related to the following We are doing a picture.loadMovie() to load the external jpeg.
Now, how do we make sure it's always in the center and has maxWidth as 300 and maxHeight as 200? ie, if width > 300 then width = 300 and height = proportionate to 200 and so on?
I am not able to capture the height and width of the "picture"
