I have never done an XML gallery, I have read over many tutorials and searched google thoroughly without success.Basically I want an area on the left of thumbnails with a scroll, represented by the red line, when you click a thumbnail the large version appears in the large black area, doesn't have to be any fancy fade in/out effects, just show up.
View 4 RepliesI have put together a XML Driven Video Player with auto thumbnail detection but there is a problem.The Video plays but, The thumbs will not show. I think my thumbnail function is not reaching the correct node in my XML.Can someone take a look at my Actionscript Please? The Action Script is below. The XML is at the bottom of this post. The top half of the code is the video playing code the bottom is for the thumbs.
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

I'm learning XML in AS3 and I am having real trouble finding a resource that can help me learn how to build a very simple XML-driven picture gallery.
I am working in an FLA file with AS3, with a dynamic text field with the instance name "textfield". I also have a UILoader Component with the instance name "UILoaderComponent" and an XML file called "rootdir.xml".[code]...
My objective is: I simply want to build a menu inside a textbox called "textfield" that lists images1-5, and when clicked, calls upon the relevant image. For instance: I load the file "rootdir.xml" into the file "index.fla". I call a function to parse the XML into a dynamic text box called "textfield". When image 2 is clicked on the textbox "textfield", it would call upon a function that would load into the UIComponent Loader "image2.jpg".
I need to make a XML Driven Photo slide in Flash CS5.It needs to have a Box that contains 5 Thumbnails(by XML) act as buttons.The Box sits on top of the Main photo area and shrinks (or close out) when user click its close button. And it opens out by clicking on a open button.I'm sure it can be done by using timeline, Tweening or you name it..But what about the Thumbnails that run from the XML file?Can they disappear with the Box and retrieve when it opens? is it possible? Here is the ActionScript.
import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.net.URLLoader; import flash.events.Event; import fl.controls.Button; import flash.display.Shape; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.text.TextField; import fl.transitions.*; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import flash.display.Shader;[code].....
I am creating a photo gallery using xml and a thumbnail bar at the side. I want each picture to fit into a square without distorting the image, so I will need to use masks. Currently I am using the loadClip metohd for loading pictures then I am attempting to use onLoadInit to dynamically set the masks. It is hard to show the problem on here so I have here's the link..[URL]...
It seems that you can't place "i" values in the onLoadInit part which I tired previously, atm I can only get one to work as you will be able to see.

View 1 Repliesi've designed an xml driven photogallery using actionscript 3.0. First when the swf file is run, all the thumbnails load in, Then I have thumbnails below, when i click them the large image loads in. I wanted the thumbnails to be replaced with the numbers which form dynamically from the xml file. i.e I simply want the numbers, on clicking them loads respective images Please give a solution to this, or please suggest a good tutorial. here's the code i've worked on and im stuck replacing

I bought a flash site template that loads xml driven swfs inside the main swf as different menu items are clicked. The modules that come with the template work fine, but I don't know how to add a third party xml driven swf, so that it shows up properly. While the third party swf works fine as a standalone, the embedded version loads just an empty movie.

View 1 RepliesI have an swf with xml and external content for which I need play, stop and sound volume controls at least. The swf doesn't have them and it's action script 3 so I can't even get it opened in flash cs2.
Is it possible to create external controls or do I have to pay someone to create a new swf to go with the xml and css files?
can create a new fla/swf file that I could later edit for size, colors etc in the case where I need to create a new one. and how much... If not I may still need someone to create the controls for me and run me through the process of getting them to work with my current files.
ive made a huge xml driven site (navi and content) but now i dont know how to seo it. all the data comes from a database so it would be a problem to insert it in my html, but i load my html only once and after that flash does the hole change subpages thing.
View 5 RepliesI have a XML file with images and tags which should be loaded into movieclips.The tags are separated in maintags and normal tags. Maintags are describing the image itself and "normal" tags are referring to other images. If you click on an image/movieclip its normal tags should be read and referring to other images' maintags which now should be loaded into the movieclips.Sounds complicated but actually it's easy. Theoretically I understand what to do, but I'm not able to express it in Actionscript.Here's my(rudimentary) code:

Basically, i have created a simple rollover map of London Boroughs. I have a dynamic text box following the cursor which is populated by an edited version of the Borough MC's instance name. So far so good. I would really like a way of neatly loading text and image information in a pop-up for each Borough, when that Borough MC is clicked on, via an xml file which contains all relevent data.I have managed to create a simple xml file to contain the data, and to 'trace' the various required attributes (borough name, data, images, captions), but am unsure how to connect the data to the action of clicking on a particular Borough.From reading around the many xml discussions (mostly discussing image galleries) i think this involves using a loop array? As i am new to flash i am struggling to find the right way of applying this method in this circumstance

View 3 RepliesIn fact, i make flash CD presentation in Adobe Flash CS5 AS2 (with minimal use of ActionScript). It occurs to me the next problem ... need to load flash image gallery that i already have created, in new presentation file. Gallery was created in Flash Slideshow maker and as products I have. Swf,. Xml and folders with thumbnails and picture (no. Fla file).The concept of the presentation (as root is concerned) should look like in uploaded picture "izgled otvorenog cd-a". In each of the folder on cd presentation (as on picture) is a Flash presentation controlled by their xml file whose name I must not change.

I am looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator, something where I can load my images into the FLA and publish.

Does anyone know of any, or could point me in the right direction?
View 1 RepliesI have an accordion menu fla, I copied the fla into my main fla so I have one file. The menu has external links that can be added in the xml file which is great but I need to link the menu from within the fla it is in. I need to have each mc or button in the menu link to a specific frame within the .fla I see now in order to do this I have to edit the actionscript within the menu. I'm new in AS3 but from my little experience in it I think I need an eventlistener that calls a function which will send the each instance to a frame inside the file.
Here is the original
[URL] (skip the crappy intro) and you will see 4 photos in an accordion. They link to separate galleries with no back buttons
Here is my remake [URL]
my version calls links thru an xml file which I posted above.
The file is in AS3
it is here [URL]
So I would need to link the 4 mc's in the menu to separate frames main.swf
I'm being asked if some resources I created can be made accessible. Currently each resource is the exact same launch.swf, but each is pulling from a different xml file. I'm so proud of myself! But now it looks like you can't dynamically generate accessilbe resources. I'm being asked for the alt.text equivalent of various text boxes, while the actual content of each box depends on multiple factors.
View 1 RepliesIm currently working on a system whereby a user can fill in text fileds within a PDF form, submit the data as XML and this is picked up by the Actionscript in a .SWF file thus allowing end user customisation without the need to edit the actual Flash files.I have all this working fine so far however im stuck at a particular part.I want to have radio buttons (or something similar) on each page of the PDF where the user can select if the page has to be output in the .SWF file or not. Ive tried creating the actionscript part for this however im completely lost. The XML from the PDF i can manage no probs but the actionscript part is stumping me.

I'm about to start work on my first app which will be an internal release to gather customer information at a trade show.I'm hopefully looking into using air for ios or maybe one of the various html/js frameworks to develop this app as an alternative to learning C.ideally I would do it with some server based php > sql to store and share gathered information between a fleet of iPads, unfortunately due to the population of this trade show there will be no guarantee that i can maintain a wireless connection so need to prepare for these apps all being local access only.in which case, how would you recommend going about the saving/reading of the stored data, and also how to sync it up with a sql server and then back to the iPads each night.

View 3 RepliesI've been hunting for tutorials on XML driven AS3 menus. I've found some really cool stuff, but nothing that does what I want, and most don't really explain the "hows' involved in getting the XML into the flash. I want to dynamically load menu buttons based upon an xml document in horizontal fashion with sub menus that load 10px down and to the right of the main menu button. With each item in the sub menu filing to the right. I'd also like to have that light up bar track the main buttons so that as the mouse moves over the bar slides to it.
Here's the code for the bar:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
button_mc.buttonMode = true;
button2_mc.buttonMode = true;
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent):void {
new Tween(bar_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,bar_mc.x,e.currentTarget.x,1,true);
}
Most of the XML driven code I have found obviously doesn't have a static instance name and use addChild()
I've read Sen's tut. on making the xml menu, but I couldn't spot and/or find a way to make the menu horizontal rather than vertical. I would very much like to use this effect as it would make my site so much easier to update as far as more or less links go.Here is the code from Sen's tutorial:
