ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Gallery - Disable FWD Button On Last Image?
Aug 5, 2006
I have made an gallery of images which calls one image at a time in sequence using an XML file. The images display in a movie clip inside the flash.swf file. The gallery works fine ... though there is something that I would like to address from a usability standpoint and am hoping that it can done with some simple actionscript. The gallery has a movie clip in which the images load... and a forward and rewind button to cycle through the images.
The problem is that when the user cycles through the images using the forward button, going from one to the next... and reaches the last image...the forward button is still visible, and causes the user to want to click on it. After a few clicks ... without anything happening (because there are no MORE images in the gallery to forward to) the user either assumes that the button is broken or moves on to some other part of the site.
Eventhough there is a counter on the screen indicating which image the user is looking at... ie image 3 of 23.... user feedback has been that they rarely look at this to stop cycling through the images ... when the forward button in still visible at image 23 of 23. I am wondering how to actionscript the forward button to both disable it and make it invisible when the user is at the final image.
Here is the actionscript that currently runs the gallery:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
[Code] ......

I'm trying to find out how to make a simple image gallery which changes image upon a mouse click on a button, when a button is pressed I want the image to slide in from the left into the viewable area and then when another image is selected I want the previous image that was viewed to remain in the screen and then the new image slide across over the top to replace the image.
I can get the images to slide across from the left upon a mouse click however I can't change the layer order so if image 6 is viewed and then I click to see image 1, the image will slide into place however it will be below image 6 so therefore not viewable.
I don't have an example of what I'm after but I hope my explanation was good enough, I've seen this been done in javascript but I have to use flash and am unable to replicate the effect I'm after

I'm using Kirupa's xml image gallery and what I'm trying to accomplish is to have the gallery loop forward and back, that is when a user clicks the forward button and it comes to the last image it will automatically "loop" and go to the first one and if the user clicks the back button and he's on the first image it will go backwards. I was able to get the forward loop working, but not the back one.
Here's my code:
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
slideshow();

[url]...Now I have a problem, I would like to add DOWNLOAD button for every image, or to add ''Back'' button, and clicking on the image would open it in new window for downlading. I tried to modify code on my own but I didn't succeed a lot. I dont know if I have to put links in XML file and then create new var like ''picUrl'' or something? My main problem is creating function for that.

I have a image gallery but when I put the whole thing into its own new movieclip and THEN insert it on the main timeline it doesn't work. It only works when its scripted on the main timeline but I don't want it on the main timeline because I want my gallery to appear after I press my button.

I want to create an image gallery with a next and previous button.
To do this I was considering loading the values into an array.
I assume this must a 'circular array.'
What is the easiest way to achieve this.
I was thinking of using the push and pop functions.

I need help figuring out the code that will allow a button that is outside of an XML gallery to go to a specific image in an xml gallery. Specifically, i need to link a thumbnail, that is on a different frame then my xml gallery, to the corresponding image in that gallery.

I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button. I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button.

I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button. I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. I'm not sure how to load it from a flash file and I know there is work that has to be done outside of flash like in the root folder. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button. how to use shadowbox in lamens terms or knows how to easily script a gallery that would be amazing.

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.

I have this piece of code to change images. I was trying to figure out how you could put a timer on the code, so if the image has been displayed for say 5 seconds it diverts to the next image automatically? Also if it's not to hard, when it has played to the end to divert to the 1st image.

Just wondering if anyone knows about the project I am trying to start, uploading images from flash using php is fine but wondering if anyone knows how to create dynamic xml from php and it takes all the image names from the same folder where those images have been uploaded.

I have found an excellent tutorial and source file for a 3D image gallery. However I would like to make the thumbnail click thorugh to a url link when pressed rather than loading the image into the gallery.
Currently the images load in through actionscript. Is there a way to amend this script so you can specify that a thumbnail clicked links through to a url, like you would with a normal button instance rather than loading the image. Here is a link to the file and tutorial. The actionscript is on the top layer within the file.[URL]...

I am am not a developer but have bought a template which I am modifying to suit my needs. I have made most of the modifications but and stuck on how to change the animation for the image gallery. When I move from one picture to the next the animation effect is something like a bubble burst. This is too flamboyant for me. I would like to change it to something more sleek but have no clue where to start.

I have an image gallery but I can't seem to get the previous image removed. I have two functions:
ActionScript Code:
function clearLoader():void {
try {
var li:LoaderInfo = slideLoader.contentLoaderInfo;
[Code]....
But in some way not the previous image is removed, but the one before that. Annoying, because if image 1 is larger than image 2, image 1 stays on the background. It is only when loading image 3 the first image is removed from the stage.

So I'm having some trouble modifying this script. I have a text box so a user can go to a certain image (In my case page). So if the user type 5 it should go to image 5I've tried numerous methods, none of which are working (they work but then my next and previous buttons aren't working properly). I know I need to just get go to the number image in the array but the way the script is set up it seems I would have to change the current position value but that doesn't seem to be the case.Am I over complicating this?
ActionScript Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
f (loaded) {

I would like to be able to add the functionality of being able to load different galleries from a menu without loading a new mc with gallery inside it. I managed to botch the file up pretty good on my own, and was wondering if there is a ready answer nearby.So I'm thinking have but1, but2 and but3, with a seperate xml file for each. What would you recommend for a smooth way to swap the the xml files to the gallery, and load the first image of the new xml file? Also, can it be done with one big ol' xml file while keeping the galleries seperate? It's not necessary, but could be handy, and save some loading.It would also be interesting to apply the same principle to the resizing script that Scotty has in that big Resizing thread, just a thought.
