ActionScript 2.0 :: Build A Flash Slideshow That Uses XML To Call Up Images And Text Captions?
Dec 9, 2003
I am trying to build a flash slideshow that uses XML to call up images and text captions. I 've found a good example of what I am looking for on macromedia's website.found here: http:[url]...
I would like to add the ability to fade between images and have a button that creates a larger jpg version in a popup window for whatever image is being displayed as current in the slideshow.Would I need 2 XML files for this or can I just use one? I prefer one. Sorry I am quite new to XML, this is my first foray into it.I can build this thing w/o XML, but it seems to be so much easier if I did it with XML.

In TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.

I just started to mess with Flash past week, however I will learn all that's necessary. This time I AM looking for a quick fix though, since I already know how to make the simplest slideshows with next, previous buttons, but I don't know how to make images fade into each other and add captions, as well as stop the animation when mouse is over the image. I may be ignorant - still a newbie - but I think it all has to do with just adding right tags in Actions.[URL]

An image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it. The "IPTC Core" metadata usually includes the photographers name, address, title, description, etc. Is there any way to access this information using AS3 so that, say, captions for images in a flash gallery could be generated automatically?

Having an online swf doing some slideshow with loaded pictures from an xml filme, how can I, after building the slideshow with some transitions, export the result movie into a flv/mov/* file?know how you can get pictures from a xml file into flash and then proceed to build the slideshow (showing, of course, the swf in the page).What I need is a somewhat hidden swf that would process this pictures and then export the movie into a folder.Example:
-> user uploads pictures
-> user click preview movie
-> pictures are loaded into the flash file
-> movie is built
-> final file is saved into some folder
-> user is warned about the movie being done and read to download

I need help adding captions to images in a swf and picture gallery. I have added a dynamic text box in the flash file and have managed to import the text from XML but I have been unable to attatch it to different images to display different caption messages. I have followed a tutorial to make this gallery and only have the very basics so far. I am using XML to pull the information for the location and size of the images and gallery into the flash file.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code]............

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do something with xml in flash and don't even know where to begin.I'm building a flash piece for the header of a website that will contain six images and six captions. I plan on integrating the xml file with a cms so that the user can simply upload images and type in captions and the xml file will dynamically populate the swf.I know how to execute the back-end development with the cms and xml file, but I'm not quite sure how to tie the pieces I need from the xml to the flash file.

I am trying to build a slideshow with scrolling thumbnails and mouse control. I am fallowing a you tube tutorial. [URL] I have done everything that he says to do and I can not get it to scroll. He builds this in AS2 and I have changed my publish settings to AS2. The thing that confuses me is that he is able to get it to scroll before he puts the code in.

I apologize in advance -- I am new to Flash. I am triyng to build a Flash object to display images from a catalog. I would like to build something like this. I really just need some advice/direction to get started.Once I know the basics/techniques to be used, I can go from there. Is this some thing that can be done solely in Flash or will I need to use some combination of Flash & Javascript. Right now, I am thinking I can use the loader class to achieve something like this.

I am trying to build an xml photo gallery in flash that will use lightbox for viewing large images. I have successfully built the thumbnail portion.My goal is to insert the swf into an HTML page and launch lightbox from the swf. Here is the code: First I use a Thumbnails class which imports the tweener class
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import fl.containers.UILoader;[code]....
how do I get lightbox to work when I click on the thumbnails? I found this thing called lightboxinjector that seems like it would work, but I am not advanced enough to understand the directions it gives for dynamic use. Or is there a lightbox clone that will work for this?

I'd like the slideshow to have a black boarder box with a white background. I've got two buttons which I have made in Photoshop for previous and next image. I want the background of the slideshow to be white and images to be placed into this box for the user to be able to manually go through the images.

I'm in the middle of building a simple flash slideshow, using alpha fades between images. I have three layers, the first one being text, on the timeline for each layer/image. The other two layers are images, small footprint (sized and optimized in photoshop, each less than 100k). When I hit the Enter key it will play on timeline but the preview and fla file just won't start, hung up on the first frame.

I am wondering if anybody can tell me how to create a picture PUSH. I have three images that I wish to work with. By pushing I mean having an image come in from the left (or right) and place itself on top of the other (or pushing the other out of view). Like a slide show of three images scrolling along but one stops for a brief period before the other image comes into view.

Creating a jQuery slideshow comprised of several images with transitions is easy. But I'm trying to have a Flash animation (SWF) stand in for one of the items in the slide show. In other words, I'd like to see transitions between the following: We've tried several of the jQuery slideshow plug-ins, but the Flash animation doesn't play well -- for example, if we use a simple dissolve transition, the Flash never disappears

I'm trying to do the following to a flash banner, I'd like to know if it's possible and how I would code it/do it.
1. Unlimited amount of slide support. The banner must look for 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg... etc. Let's say the current slidshow has 4 photos, they want to be able to just upload another image and create a new .as file to make it appear in the flash slideshow.
2. each link must be in its own independent script. For example 01link.as, 02link.as, 03link.as etc.

I'm developing an application in Flex 3.5 for video tutorials, which uses a lot of Captivate 4 (AS3) videos (>200). In the front end, the user can navigate thorough the videos in a menu structure. In the administration part, the admins can upload more videos and organize them into the menu structure. Since we have more than 200 Captivate videos, we wanted to build in a search functionality into the fronted, which would be based on the text contents of the Captivate videos. The idea is: every time the admin uploads a new Captivate video into the system, an index will be created based on the contents of the video.
My question: how can I extract the text captions of a Captivate video using Flex or rather ActionScrip 3? (I know, there is an Export/Import function of Captivate, but I would like to access those texts dynamically from Flex.)

I am trying to modify the hover caption tutorial from here at Kirupa to load the text in the caption from an external text file. Could anyone give me a hand trying to figure this out?I tried the simple way of loading external text but because the text is loaded in a MovieClip this does not work. Here is my code for the hover menu that currently loads the text dynamically through ActionScript:
MovieClip.prototype.resize = function() {
var w = box.caption.textWidth+0
var h = box.caption.textHeight+0;

I have used this slideshow for few projects and all I've done in the past is import new images (about 100k) and publish. The image are bit map of type (png) not big about 100k size.
Without saving the file I do a "test movie". Instead of doing the slideshow it displays the first image but doesn't loop through the rest.
I'm at a bit at a lost here. The path to the image in bitmap properties on the origanal file in imported is relative but when I select a new image its full path.
