I have just started to learn more about XML in Flash but so far it's all a bit confusing. I have this photo site that I'm working on at the moment and I can't figure out how to load dynamically specified photo galleries. I load in my XML on the first frame of the root timeline with this script:

I'm trying to dynamically load in 3 photo galleries into a file. They are all SWF files. When you click the button for the thai gallery, it'll pop up. But if you want to navigate to the alex gallery, the thai gallery is still visible underneath. And the same problem with the 3rd gallery only all 3 are visible at this point. Is there a way to make these not visible? I'm using CS4 with ActionScript 3.0. I've got 3 separate buttons set up for the 3 galleries. Is there a better method? I've tried using the removeChild(); but I don't think I've used it correctly as it throws errors all over the place when trying to use it.
Actionscript Code:
thai_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadImages);
function loadImages(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(imageLoader);
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("thaipix.swf");

I saw many examples in jquery compenents which takes image urls from HTML DOM. But flash photo galleries always need xml configuration files as i have seen till now. I need flash compenents which doesn't need any configuration settings from server. If it is possible to do that flash can get image urls from DOM or even by javascript. Is there such as flash photo gallery compenents ?
View 1 RepliesI've created a photo gallery that dynamically loads images into a movieclip entitled 'gallery'. Right now the images are listed in an array. how would I make it so that different arrays could be loaded for different image galleries on the site? For example clicking a certain button would tell the movieclip to load different sections. It would load an array that goes

Right now, I have a successful combo box that loads an external jpg to flash from a folder where I store all my images. However the information that is given about the pictures are all in the flash code. I have an xml document, and I was wondering if there's any way I can load information from the xml file rather than supplying it in the flash code,
this is currently the flash code:

I've been trying to add more galleries the Kirupa Photo Gallery but so far unsuccessfull - i've modified things alittle, but it's mostly the same.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
image = [];[code].....
This is as far as i can get before i get errors i cant get out by displaying image[i] in gallery[n].at the current time i can only get the number of galleries and display the images in the first gallery - not change between galleries.
I already have a photo gallery running on my website, but I would like to add 4/5 more. The script I am currently using is;
Code:

var autoStart:Boolean = false; //true, false
var secondsDelay:Number = 6; // 1-60

I've obviously changed the first and last frame part of the script to suit where I have put my images. And I have also changed the next and prev button to be next1 and prev1, however the rest wont work, i'm guessing I need to change a lot more but I don't know enough about scripting.
I was working yesterday with the galleries from Scotty - http:[url].... - trying to add a dropdown menu for the different galleries, instead of the buttons (I'm talking about the V3 with Thumbnails). My skills are not that good I realized. Do you have any idea on how to achieve this?
What I need is a combobox showing the different galleries i have on my XML file and if the user chooses another gallery, the it loads the new set of pictures and thumbnails.
is there a site where you can download flash galleries for a portfolio.. ?
View 0 RepliesI need a simple way to use xml and create a multiple gallery inside 3 main galleries so basicly like this: (Everything would be in the same page, list view, when clicking into one it would open it)

Basicly when clicking the link it would hover the pics with a scrolling effect in the flash file (that all should be sorted out)
I'm using an xml menu and have the code in a .as that loads as2 & as3 swfs, but I can't load these externally created image galleries (externally because I created them using another software).I want to load 1 of these galleries into a movieclip when I click a button, and load another one when clicking another button, of course the first one should unload first.The Image galleries I have are: carrera, Col_Imanes, Cons_Base, Cons_Hapas, Cons_Imanes, Gallery, and 1.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI have a several galleries that I will be loading via several xml files. Gallery1 will load on start and the other galleries will load through buttons using their instance names (i.e. "gallery3" button will load "gallery3.xml"). Currently I have a function + listener (called "home") to initiate gallery1 on start, a function + listener (called "goSection") to initiate the other galleries via button instance name, and a function that loads the gallery (called "fileLoaded") with the listener located in the "home" and "goSection" functions. There is a lot more code in the fileLoaded function that controls the thumbnail and full size images functionality that I am excluding because its probably not necessary for my problem. Im not sure the most efficient way to set this all up so I unload the existing gallery before I load a new gallery. Ive tried to use removeChild and removeEventListener on urlLoader without much success.[code]...

I'm doing a little photo rotation front-end for a site I'm working on. It's a custom photo gallery site that needs to have a photo rotation functionality to it. The back-end developers couldn't find a decent way to do it in Javascript, so they've come to me to figure it out in Flash.They pointed me to the Flickr rotation tool as an example. Seems like it should be straightforward:Load photo into empty movie clip on stageRe-center photo movie clip to the stageUse left/right rotation buttons to rotate image in 90 degree incrementsThat said, I'm having a tough time, after I load a photo into the empty movieclip, using a rotate left and rotate right button to spin the photo around. Obviously, the registration point is in top-left corner of the photo movieclip when the photo is loaded.
I've read that rotation can be managed by putting the clip to be rotated into an outer clip, but...there's a catch......I won't ever know what the exact size of the photo being loaded is going to be, so I can't set the outer clip to a certain size. I only know that it will never be wider than 100px.

View 10 Replies downloaded an xml photo gallery that is displayed through a swf.
What I want to do is load that external swf into another swf - but everytime I do it gives me a #1009 error. I know my code works - because it loads regular swfs, and I know I have the address right, because I direct it to an exact url location.
I have (say) 3 photos on my homepage and what I would like to happen is, every time I access the site I would like the photo to be different. What I'm thinking is there must be some way that one can randomly select a photo (perhaps using tweenmax?)

Making a photo slideshow to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed. Here is a link to the .swf file: [URL]. There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear! I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other. When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.
