ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Photo Gallery - Submenus Not Picking Right File
Dec 12, 2009
I am running flash through an xml page. The page is a xml generated photo gallery per-say, and I can make it work for the 1st page, but not the sub menus.
XML PAGE
Code:
<title_submenu><![CDATA[APPETIZERS]]></title_submenu>
<content_submenu>dyn_xml_gallery.swf</content_submenu>
In the dyn_xml_gallery .fla file, I have it picking it up from
ActionScript Code:
xmlCategory.load ("dyn_xml_gallery_xml/categories.xml");
The main page picks this up just fine, and shows the pictures as I have listed. But on the submenus, I have the same thing but just different names. So instead of being dyn_xml_gallery.swf, it's now dyn_xml_gallery2.swf.
And in the actionscript, it's picking it up from dyn_xml_gallery_xml2.
With everything renamed and linked to the right object.. any ideas as to why my submenus are still picking up the original file, and not (in this case) my dyn_xml_gallery_xml2.

I have a photo gallery for a painter rotating through images via XML. She wants a little sold sign to appear on ones that have been sold. I'd like to figure out a way to make it appear/disappear with a _visible = true/false statement that I can call from via the XML file.
Something like:
<node>
<img>"img.jpg"</img>
<sold>true</sold>
</node><node>
<img>"img2.jpg"</img>
<sold>false</sold>
</node>
Is this possible? I know that may not be a correct syntax, I can't get it to work.

I have created a flash website that looks like this (see below). When you click on any of the menu buttons (home, architecture, etc), the menu bar stays stationary while everything else slides horizontally. The title of the page (black with yellow outer glow) scrolls horizontally as well and stops as you see here to show the next page has "arrived" or loaded. There is no page loading or timeline jumping in Flash. It's all programmed for the menu buttons to trigger the entire site to start moving.
My problem is trying to figure out the best way to show images for the portfolio. Each page will have pics depending on the category, and I am wanting to display them as best as possible. I considered using a Web Gallery made through Bridge, but it makes an HTML file that won't slide like the rest of the site will. I am needing the images to slide as well like the rest. Because of this, the images at some point have to be Movie Clips so the script will move them accordingly.
Is there any way to have the images as MC's, bring them into view, and then somehow make them clickable that starts up LightBox2 or a Bridge-made Web Gallery of those images? Or am I screwed?

I've built a flash photo gallery that pulls image urls from an external XML file. The gallery has different image catagories that load their own set of images.The user decided which catatgory they'd like to view by clicking an HTML button in the flash movies parent page...using javascript, this button click sends a variable to the root level of the flash movies with the new XML location...
Trouble is, onces the initial XML file is loaded, the movie has no need to refresh (and read the newly sent variable) ...*Unfortunately the catagory buttons MUST be outside the movie on the page...

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 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);

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 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,

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've just completed the "photo gallery using XML and Flash" tutorial, but i've managed to get stuck uploading my own images. The tutorial shows you how to place images from the internet into the gallery, but doesnt tell you source images from your own hard drive.

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.
