I'm working on making a site with an xml photo gallery with thumbnails. Right now, I have the gallery working, but I want to add an effect from this site: [URL] When the photos load, the layout resizes according to the photo size. How can I do something like this?

i sort of asked this before but never got a clear responce to it. this is sort of a two part question. one i have a dynamic gallery of images with a small picture that you click on that loads a bigger picture. I would love to be able to just have one photo that loads into the bigger mc and also the small mc. right now what i am doing is making two size photos a small 47x47 and a large141x141. does anyone know how i can use the same photo for both mc's second question. if that works will it make the small photos take forever to load since their sorce is a large photo?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make an swf that resizes to the browser's size at initialization and when the stage is resized... but it seems to initialize at the original stage width (which is 800 * 600) and then when the stage is resized, it works... the swf is currently nothing but an image that says the site is under construction... but I'd like to resize it to screen size... here are my AS 3.0 and HTML code...

i am making a photo gallery. I load photos to a Loader by getting links from XML. My problem is this that while photos are being loaded, when next photo comes, previous one do not dissapear
View 2 RepliesI have made a photogallery in actionscript 3 which uses an .XML file to import pictures. As the user clicks on the displayed image the code loads the next image in the cycle into the display. Now, I would like to add a preloader which displays the loading progress of each image as the user clicks (otherwise there is just a blank area as the image loads). I have made a pre-loader for the main .SWF but I can't figure out how to make it work for the images or how to make a seperate one for the images. The fact is that I am a bit of a muppet when it comes to AS3, and am finding myself getting lost an confused quite easily.
I have attatched the .FLA if that helps any! If not then...
here is the link to the .HTML page that contains the .swf:

I have decided to build my own XML gallery. The flash loops through, checks how many images there are and duplicates a movie clip to match the amount of photos on that page. The duplicated mc's are given the names "hello"+z, but when trying to load the images they don't want to load (I have taken the code that loads the dynamic images out). When I trace "hello"+z, it gives me an undefined.
Here is the code:
//builds an array for the amount of XML nodes
function loadXML(loaded) {
vararPhoto =[]
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

[URL]. It's a tutorial that shows how to create a photo gallery and load the pictures and comments via XML. My problem is the following, the gallery and everything works well, but I when I try to load it into a container then everything messes up. Here's what I have: I have a main movie (the main .swf file) with a container in it, when clicking on one of the buttons from that movie the gallery.swf loads into the container (the gallery is the exact gallery from the tutorial) and it works well, until I press the button to load it again.
It seems that it messes up the value of "p". I tried tracking it, on the first load it tracks normally p=1, 2, 3, 4.... but on the second load it reacts as if it's double tracking it p=0 1, 2 2, 3 3, 2 4 ... It seems that Flash somehow keeps the old value of "p" in mind. I tried reseting it somehow or something but I can't seem to make it work (or maybe I have to rebuild the whole thing?).
It works perfectly if I load it only once but if I load the gallery.swf twice or more times then it goes crazy (or since I have more buttons on the stage, after pressing one and coming back to the gallery, it does the same, it's messed up). How can I "reset" the value of 0 on every load or something? I even tried playing around with unloadMovie but can't figure out how to use it.
I'm trying to create a little slideshow with photos. I created a little animation on every photo (a really subtle zoom-in or zoom-out effect) and transition using alpha transparency.
But some photos will flicker very bad. Expecially photos containing elements like grids or straight lines. Only really blurred pictures will render well.
I already raised FPS up to 60 but flicker still occurs.
I'm using flash8. Will another flash version (which?) render the movie in a better way?

I'm working on a slideshow where I'm calling in photos from an xml file. How do I tell AS to resize the stage according to photo dimensions? Would I need to list the dimensions in the xml file? If so, how would I pull that into the fla file with AS?

View 3 RepliesI'm building a photographer's gallery website and I need it to resize to fit in browser window. So far so easy...What I would really like to achieve is a maximum and minimum size that the gallery will go to.
So, if the images I am using are 1400x1000 (for example) when this size is reached by the user expanding the browser window i don't want the gallery to expand any more, just sit in the middle of the page.
Similarly I don't want the gallery to go below say 800x600... how to set a max/min?
Is there a good place that has an overview of how Flex layout stuff is managed? I'm trying to create some user-resizeable "windows" in Flex, but I'm having some trouble getting the layout calculations for the contents correct. Right now I'm just trying to get a good understanding of how Flex calculates its layouts, but I haven't found any good overview documentation. For instance, looking just at the width value there are the following:
[Code]....
and the same set for height. What's the meaning of each of these? How is each used? Is there any way using those to calculate some preferred size of a component (like getPreferredSize() in java)?
I'm trying to figure an elegant way to display a certain number of items in a grid. I have a feeling the answer lies partly with modulus, but it's a little more complicated than that. I know how to lay out items in a grid based on a set number of columns. Something like this:[code]but what I want to do is set things up such that if there is only one item (j=0), the image covers the entire available area (stage.Width and stage.Height or, for simplicity, 1000px, and 500px). If there are 2 items, there should be 2 columns, with the images taking up half the width of the stage and all of the height (500x500), 3 items - 3 columns (300x500), 4 items - 2 columns & 2 rows (500x250), and so on, keeping a balanced grid layout but decreasing the dimensions of the items and increasing the number of rows in some sort of logical and balanced manner.

I used the script below for a slideshow in Macromedia Flash MX2004. The images are in the folder images.xml (and believe me, I checked the names many times). But now the problem: when I load this slideshow, it shows only 3 photos, whereas there are 10 in my folder which I need to show. After the 4th photo I get only black.... it doesn't continue. I cannot figure out what the problem is! Anyone who is more clever out there?
