ActionScript 2.0 :: XML-based Slideshow?
Nov 2, 2007
I'm building a portfolio website for my wife and I. I've basically taken Kirupa's tutorial (XML photo gallery) and have tried to use it. I have several sections, or galleries, that I would like to show after clicking the "portfolio" button. But the problem right now is that only the first image from each gallery gets loaded into the main viewing area, even though the thumbnails themselves seem to work fine. Here is our site as it stands now.
The thing is, the site works locally on my computer, but once I upload it to the server, it doesn't work.I have removed some of the extraneous code from the original tutorial which I wasn't using, mainly so that it would be easier for me to read and work with. And I've checked and double checked to make sure I didn't delete something necessary. As I said, the site works locally on my computer.
I thought the problem had to do with relative or absolute paths, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I think what's happening is that the arrays for each of the galleries, for some reason beyond my understanding, are not being set-up correctly. The first image for each gallery shows up fine, but subsequent images do not.In my main movie, I placed an empty movieclip called "myHolder" on the stage. When a user clicks one of the sections "advertising," "design," etc. under the main "portfolio" button, one of the five gallery movieclips from the library is attached to the myHolder movieclip. Inside each of those library movieclips is the slideshow set-up with the code as I've altered it. Within the code is an xmlData.load("Some.xml") pointer that points to one of five different xml files that contain the appropriate linkage for each gallery.

I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.

I'm currently trying to beef up one of the websites I run, and make a better image slideshow for the gallery page. Currently... I have this page for my own website, with the lightbox effect installed correctly. The effect is very nice:When you click on an image, it loads it into focus on top of the page. This is also possible using flash.. using lightbox++. I hope one of you knows of this My question to you is... I want a page that loads the pictures via an xml file, and have the thumbs loaded, and each of those thumbs setup to load the full size version when you click on it.

I'd like to create a banner for my website using a slidshow but I'd like for the photo's that are displayed to be daylight images during the daytime and nightime images during the evening hours from the viewers perspective. These images will, of course, be outdoor pictures, but I cannot seem to figure out how to select the picture elements to display based on the users time shown on their computer.

I am working on an xml based slideshow. Random images loading (only ones and no repeated image) and fade in-out effect. That's working fine, but the problem is that when animation starts it does it on white screen and then fades in to the first image. How can I keep my slideshow working the same way but starting with the first image already on stage (without fade in)?
My Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.

I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

I am looking for a way to run a slideshow without using XML, but controlling the entire show with AS3. I have all of the resources and code to run a dynamic show, but I am attempting to build this on Oracle's Content Management System“ Stellent. Stellent does not allow us to access our external XML files or external assets such as images, js, swf, etc.
The best way to go about building our slideshows for use with this CMS is to make them fully integrated in themselves. The downside, obviously is a larger filesize, but does anybody know how I would go about building this into itself, instead of externally?[code]...

I am using an xml slideshow as explained in Kirupas Photo Slideshow tutorial Using XML and Flash
[URL]
How can I make these adjustments:
the slides always fade in after the preloader. I would like a preloader for the first picture but then have the picture show until the nxt image has loaded instead of showing a preloader inbetween. It would also be nice if the images could then blend over instead of just having the nxt image fade in.

I am trying to create a slide show using actionscript that changes the images automatically. I have the script for a slide show that has buttons to let the user change the slides. It gets the images from a specified folder (which I want it to do- they are all named 1.jpeg, 2.jpeg...etc which makes it easy to update them) and loads it into an image holder named (imageHolder). There is a function called nextImage which loads the next picture, but at the moment is controlled by the buttons. I'm not sure how to get it to change images automatically using actionscript.

I am trying to create a flash program that will create a slideshow on the fly. I have a collection of music and images that I want to put in the show. The program will pick a piece to play randomly and the next image to show is also picked randomly. However, the speed at which the images will be shown in the show is decided by the tempo/speed/mood of the music at that moment. In one piece of music there will faster and slower movement, and the slide will fade in sooner if the music is faster and vice versa. The show will keep running until the program quits.

I can make a slideshow by importing 30 or so images and using the timeline. I can make a slideshow by importing 30 or so images and using actionscript so that the timeline is realtively short.
What is the best way? I discovered how to do it by loading a movieclip with the image, but that is risky because depending on the connection, it sometimes loads too late.
What is the most streamlined, small filesize way to make a long slideshow? Can you point me to posts that talk about this or tutorials?

I have a slideshow on the opening page of my website and about a minute and a half in, it starts to slow way way down. It looks choppy and really bad - I had the slide in its own file and it was fine - then I made it into a single movie clip and cut and paste it into the website on the first frame so it would play automatically right away - then it started doing the slow thing when I previewed it

i want is a simple 4-picture slideshow for the site, and i already have it done. Thing is, i want it to loop indefinitely, but i can not achieve that unless i put this script into actions: stop();function delay () {nextFrame();}setInterval(delay, 6000); Thing is....that prevents the loop because of the stop command. However, i can't slow it down unless i do this.....I want 6 seconds in between looping pictures.

So I have made a basic slideshow on flash for a website. Nice but simple, 3 images fading in and out. But I want to make a slideshow that moves either vertically or horizontally, but most likely at an angle. I also want some text to either fade in or move as well. So I have a few questions.1) What is the best way to get th pictures to move at an angle? I have read some xml options for editing in dreamweaver, can't seem to find one for moving the picture.I would imagine you have to edit it in flash? Yes I'm new to flash!2) I take it you edit the text in flash, could it be dynamic text and what is the best way to move it?

I need to create a flash file with video but at specific frames/times in the video I need an image to appear next to the video. This is the result of a research conference where the speakers were filmed as they talked through their presentation. The flash file needs to show this video alongside the slides from the speakers powerpoint presentation.
I already have the video converted using the media encoder and the slides from powerpoint converted to jpegs.I just need to know how I select a time/frame in the video and presumable generate some actionscript code to load an image at that playback time in the flash file.
A rather clunky version of what I am trying to di can be found at: http:[url]....

I have created a slideshow based on the template for slideshow provided by Flash and some other blogs posts i have found.I have a layer with a picture on consecutive frames.I have another later that has just my text to display always.I have created another layer called Buttons and in the first keyframe i typed stop(); And added buttons by draging and dropping <back button and > foward button. I used script: for the back button [code] I have gotten them to work if you hit the button, it changes to the next picture.I want the pictures to continously play and i want to add a Pause/Play button .If you hit the pause it will stop and then you can resume the slideshow by hitting the button again which will be a Play button. I cannot #1 get the show to just move on its own (i guess i have to add additional frames to each photo?)
