ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Gallery Using Flickr RSS?
Oct 22, 2004
Ive been trying to get the xml/flash gallery tutorial to work using the rss from a Flickr image account instead of the format of xml file included in the tutorial download.Try as I might I cant understand how to call information from the specific nodes that contain the picture information.The Flickr XML source It has a lot of information at the beginning of the file to do with the Flickr account details, which i want to ignore. The <item> tag is the one im interested in.
Code:
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
I've tried using xml.nodeName, and looked right through all the xml part of the actionscript dictionary, but no luck.

My guess was that it had to do with changing

I'm trying to get a photogallery to get information directly from [URL] I've found a flash API wrapper that looks like it should work but my understanding of class constructs is too weak to get it going. [URL]

how to use the flickr api? all the documentation i've read on it assumes you know so much, but i need to start at square one! my goal is simply to load images from a flickr username at runtime. the swf into which the images will be loaded is itself loaded into another swf. i need to make photo galleries that load my clients' flickr images, so that the clients can update their galleries without anyone having to right new code. swf--> swf--> dynamically loaded images from flickr

I'm trying to get a simple photo list from flickr as XML. This works fine, but when I try to use the retrieved data as a local XML-Object it is telling me that the XML cannot be converted to XML. I am sure I am doing something really wrong here, but I don't know what it is. Do I have to convert the ldr.data somehow?[code]

I am trying to take a Flickr collection (from the website) and integrate it into flash. I suspect something to do with the rss feed. My goal is to take the flash and put it into Screentime so that when the screensaver is running it will basically be an up-to-date slideshow of my flickr images.

I am trying to figure out how to parse a Flickr RSS feed to feed it into a swf to make a pretty flash interface for my photoblog. I am thinking it would be ideal if the image url was in its own element, and the description for the image was in a sibling element. However this is not the case. The problem I am running into is that the image for each post is in the same element as the description (in the content element). The image is simply wrapped by a normal html img tag. Does anyone know how I would pull the image url out of the description during parsing so that I could feed them into flash elements on the stage (one mc for image, another mc with a dynamic text box for the image description)?[code]

I've been able to figure out how to call the Flickr API with the Adobe Lib and get a response...I can get the description, id, etc. But now I'm trying to figure out how to load in the actual photo and add it to the stage.
function loadStartingPhoto():void
{
service.addEventListener(FlickrResultEvent.PHOTOS_GET_INFO, handlePhotoGetInfo);[code]....
I'm starting to think that in order to pull in the actual photo, I need to get it by way of a URLRequest. But that's not how any of the other tutorials are doing it... or maybe they are...

I am fairly new to AS3 but I have been able to build a somewhat dinky app for iPhone and Andoid with Flash CS5.5, and I am wanting to add my Flickr feed to it. I tried going through Flickr's API but that didn't fully work.

Is it possible to load a Flickr slideshow into a Flash website?
I know you can load it into an HTML page, but I want to load it into my 100% Flash website. However, I can't get this to work. I picked apart the HTML embed code and pieced it back together as a URL that gets me exactly what I want, but Flash will not do anything with it.
Here is the code I am using:
Code: Select allvar loader:Loader = new Loader();
btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
function btnClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
loader.load(new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.flickrURL +

I'm currently using the Flickr Image Search API to load the first result of a string query as a background image for my site.Here's how it's looking so far: http:[url].....The thing with Flickr though is that if you want pictures at their original or large sizes every now and then you get an error message or image saying "Image Unavailable" due to Flickr permissions and user privacy restrictions. On the other hand medium sized or detail sized images tend to get very pixelated on large monitors. I'm pretty new at this Flickr API thing so I don't know if there's a way to filter the results to show only the first one that has actual original/large size available.
Question 1) Is there a way to filter/sort through Flickr API to load only the AVAILABLE/PERMITTED images at their original/largest size?Here's the code I have so far:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;[code]...
2) Alternatively I was thinking that Google and Bing don't have permission/restriction issues(I think) so I was wondering if anyone knew how to set up a Google or Bing image search in Flash using AS3. The farthest I've got on this was finding this link: http:[url].... But I can't seem to get my head around how to actually build the whole search, query and load result.

I built this nifty little weather/clock app as a way of learning to work with API's and incorporates both the yahoo weather api and the flickr api. Now that it is in functioning order, I decided I would port it over to a playbook app via a Flash Builder 4.4 ActionScript Mobile project. I was able to get it installed on the playbook simulator just fine however when the app launched it showed a blank stage. After several hours of research I determined it was a runtime error.After several more hours of research I found it was a security error when making a call out to the flickr api. The debugger reports the following error:
SecurityError: Error #3207: Application-sandbox content cannot access this feature.
at flash.system::Security$/allowDomain()
at global$init()[C:UserspoorpaddyAdobe Flash Builder 4.5ScriptsflickrGrabber.as:43]

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 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.

In my "actions" layer I have a function that loads a gallery of a external file called gallery.swf. The swf loads successfully but I cant remove that. The only way to remove is to call removeChild(mLoader.content); I noticed that the movies loads without addChild.
But sometimes also calling removeChild(mLoader.content) the content of mLoader is not removed and still appears in the stage.

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,

have a question about loading new photos into a already populated image gallery.So I have my gallery set up so first loads my stage pics. What I would now like to do is load different set of images via the click of a button.So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and the user can click on them to view the full size image. next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones.

Any one can think a simple way to modify Photo Gallery using XML and Flash + Adding ThumbnailsTo something that can have 200by200 pixel images as the Thumbnails And a dig 500 or so.. As the big image. As you can sea in the link to sorenhald gallery, to close the big image you click on it and you are back to the gallery slider.
