Anyone know of any examples (source files or tutorials) of XML image slideshows where the slideshow is advanced via "previous" and "next" buttons and that utilize cross-fades between images?
View 4 RepliesFirst off let me say that this forum is a lifesaver. I managed to figure out the links in xml file myself, but I cant seem to get the next/previous buttons working the way I want them to. I have got them to work to the point where they will bring up the next image, this is until it gets to the end of the xml node, then it wont start over from the beginning if I hit next. Here is my code:

This is the great slideshow from Noponies and I wanted to add a url link by XML to the whole image. I'm pretty close by now but I just can't seem to link it to the xml
View 3 Repliesfirst off, i'm pretty new with actionscript so the answer to this question may be obvious. however, i cannot for the life of me figure out what i'm doing wrong or how to fix it. so, i went through the tutorial for the auto slideshow with xml [URL] everything is working great for the auto slideshow; however, my issue is with the "previous" and "next" buttons. the "previous" seems to work in that it will back up to the previous slide, no problem, but if my slides are times for 3 seconds each and i hit previous at 2.5 seconds into the current slide, i only have .5 seconds to view the previous slide and not the full 3 seconds.
OK next issue is with the "next" button -- i have 4 slides/photos it works fine from slide 1 to slide 2, but if i hit next to go from 2 to 3 the slideshow starts an endless loop from 1 to 3 to 1 to 3 to 1 and it never jumps out of that loop. the same thing happens from 3 to 4 -- the loop is 2 to 4 to 2 to 4 to 2. again, it doesn't break the loop and go back into the regular sequence. here's the actionscript as it appears in my flash file:

I started a tutorial about creating a flash slideshow. This is the as2 code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("slideshow.xml");
myShowXML.onLoad = function() {
[Code] .....
The link I got these functions is this: [URL]. How can I adjust these functions to my slideshow?
I am not a programmer, but have managed to combine the slideshow, image gallery and hover features of the provided scripts to create a slideshow that you can control with the previous and next buttons. I have also been able to connect it to an access database so you can control the images / info through Content Management console. once this has been sorted I will post the code here, if its any use to anyone. Here is the script!

this fullscreen slideshow with random pictures which will be the background of a client's web-site. I have everything working, the preloader, the imaging loading and transitions.There's one thing however that's happening and I don't know how to fix it. What's happening - naturally - is that the previous image is still there, in the background, and I would like that to be removed, I would like to have the previous loader, or just the holder movieclip to get off stage, but I really don't know how to add that to my code.What I was thinking was something in the lines of a for loop. Something like creating the picture's holder inside that for loop so each will be like, picHolder1, picHolder2, picHolder3...and so on. And with that, on completion of the preloader I would remove something like "picHolder -

I am having problems with a flash file i am working on. Basically i have created a slideshow/ebook that includes two buttons that move forward and backward on the timeline. On each page or frame of the main timeline are other buttons and movie clips. Anyways, I am trying to figure out how ,for example , if the user flips forward quickly through the slideshow that the sounds do not continue to play on the next or previous frames. Everything else on the file works great , it's just a matter of keeping the sounds from overlapping.
View 2 RepliesMy current project includes a seemingly simple animated sequence involving three .jpg files, converted to graphic symbols, each residing on individual layers of the timeline. Each occupies the entire stage of 600 x 300.The animation on each of these layers consists of the image fading from 0 to 100%, and the scaling from about 50% to 100%, over the span of 30 frames.My goal is to effect a 3-image crossfade, so the transitions are staggered between each (that is, the first level fade begins at frame 1, the second at frame 15, and the third at frame 30).
My problem is, when I initially run the sequence, the animation briefly halts at each frame within which a keyframe exists on any of the three layers. (BTW I have tried this with the new motion tween and the classic tween, so it occurs when hitting a property keyframe or a standard keyframe.)If I rerun the sequence without reloading, it displays perfectly. It is just that first run that displays the stuttering display.
I've got a good working XML gallery up and running finally. However, I want to make the images crossfade, going forwards and backwards. I can't seem to work my way around it, the images just disappear and then fade in from 0.
View 14 RepliesI am working on a project, an online document, that is going to require buttons for next page and previous page. I have laid out the document in InDesign and have created the buttons in Flash. My only problem is I don't know how to add that interactivity. I'm guessing it is just a couple lines of ActionSctipt but I am not sure.
View 1 RepliesIve just completed the Kirupa XML Slideshow today and have it all working well. But i cant figure out how to fade out the previous image as the next image fades in.
[Code]....
i want to load in the images in projects and then have next/previous buttons for each project to look through the different images for the project. similar to how it is done in URL... (except that uses javascript, and that slides, mine can slide or fade in/out.)I have got one project on its own working. But i am not sure where is best to go to get the projects loading one after the other.[code]and i imagine my as3 code will include a for loop to grab each project and get the first image out of it for each one. and then next/previous buttons will cycle through each project.
View 1 RepliesI am having a very unique problem: I am creating a simple flash website, and I have a series of buttons that link to a series of frames. There are 27 buttons, and each proceed to a separate labeled frame. Each of the frames is a short animation 13 frames long. The buttons are all versions of this:
[Code]....
Then, 13 frames into the animation I just have a stop(); command. My issue is that if you click on any button in the series, none of the buttons that go to frames before the current one work. If I click button 20 and go to the 20th animation in the set, buttons 1-19 don't work, but 21-27 still do.
What's more, from moving the actions around to see if they needed to be in the same key frame as the button, I found that if the actions are in a single key frame in any of the animations, the animation stops on the frame that the actions are in. I also found that each button will only work once.
i'm trying to seperate some xml data into seperate pages. six entries on each page with three rows and two columns. i got the data to go into two columns...now i'm just trying to set up the next and previous buttons as well as showing only six entries per page.
View 2 Repliesi created a movie in that i placed 4 slides in a layer1 in frame 5,25,45,65,85.i had created a movieclip a rectangle in shape whish is static in a layer2 on rollover the movieclip rectangle i placed 2 buttons one is "previous" button and another is "forward" button.on running this i want the button operations like the following1. on clicking the "forward" button the the movie have to go to the slide 25.2. from there if we click the "forward" button it should go to 45and so on.like this 1. on clicking the "previous" button from the frame 45 it should go to the 25 frame of the movie and so on.
every thing is working but what the code i write in the button which is in the (rectangle shape)movie has taking the only one action. ie., when i write on(release){_root.gotoandplay("25")}it is globel to all position on the button.so only this action can only is taking place.so i want the action script to be global and as well as my above constrains should also satisfied.
i currently have a xml file that has been loaded into the flash:

I want to add a simple back and previous button in the movie to cycle through the articles.
I am creating next & previous buttons on my main scene. I have created a scrolling photo gallery as well as a random button to randomly select images. I have a photos layer that has 15 images tagged in the AS "img1" "img2".

I am setting up a website which requires lists of items to be loaded, I have set up a page that "slides" into the stage with 2 buttons at the bottom Previous and Next, so when a user selects the next button, I'd like for the current list to slide out and the next list to slide in... same for the previous button.
View 1 RepliesI'm building an XML photo gallery and I'm trying to get next and previous buttons to work. Here is the code I am working with.
Code:
function loadTheThumbs(){
var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var thumbRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (thumbPathList[c] );
[code]....
I have written the nextPhoto function based on the loadExtPic function above and that does indeed load the function. The problem is, when I want to advance to the next image, I can't because I can't find how the currently selected image is set. When you click on a thumbnail the
Code:
var thisThumbsLink:String = picturePathList[c];
is set to the correct image, but I can't seem to see in the code where the "c" is coming from. I tried adding a
Code:
var LoadedPicture:String = picturePathList[c+1];
right under the thisThumbsLink var to no sucess. If I can figure out how, when you click on a loaded thumbnail it knows which thumbnail is loaded, then I can take that and make a next and previous link var as well in the same fashion the thisThumbsLink works.
I've got a photo gallery that I'm in the process of fine tuning, and I have my next button working, but can't get the 'previous' button to work. The closest I've come to having it work makes the 'previous' button just go back to the beginning of the file. What I want the file to do is just cycle through the XML, so even if I hit the beginning (or end), it'll just cycle to the first (or last) image, and continue on as normal.
Here's the script I have for the buttons:
ActionScript Code:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, nextButton);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, prevButton);
var currentImage:Number = 0;

View 2 RepliesI'm having problems with my AS2 and XML (on Flash 8). I finally figured how to create a simple slideshow which incorporates a "Next" and "Previous" button...but what i'm struggling with is: "How to click on the 'next' button so that the existing image scrolls to the left as the new image from the right moves to the center. And the opposite for the 'previous' button". Currently I have the existing image disappearing (alpha 0) and then the new image scrolls to the center from the right - which is not what I want to do.

I try to implement a gallery of image with two buttons on each side of the picture to go to the next or the previous image.
This is my code:
leftButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ButtonLeftHandler);
rightButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ButtonRightHandler);
function ButtonLeftHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Mouse Button Left clicked");
picIndex--;

On my output, I get
Sequence Stopped
When I clicked on a button. I don't get the trace message "Mouse button left..." My sequence is blocked.
Good day every one, i am relatively new to flash 8 and i am working on a flash project, not meant for the web, i am creating an interactive map app..the problem is when the user has navigated through a series of pages i cannot get them to go back to previous pages they have visited, and this pages can be randomly selected, keeping in mind it is not viewed in a web browser but a stand alone application.
View 0 RepliesIs it possible to write code that so when you hit a "next" button, it tells a movie clip to move so far each time it is hit? Same as with the "prev" button moving the opposite way.
View 1 Replieshow to cycle through XML data with previous and next buttons. I have been working through targeting data, but havn't been able to figure out the .length to completely cycle forward and backwards. I kind of have a next button working. This will cycle through my data forward and start again at [0]. The problem is when I use the same code with flvIndex - - , it will work until I am at the beginning [0]. then she crashes. I like how this works and would love for it to cycle backwards.
