ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Slideshow On The Fly?
Apr 12, 2010
I am trying to create a flash program that will create a slideshow on the fly. I have a collection of music and images that I want to put in the show. The program will pick a piece to play randomly and the next image to show is also picked randomly. However, the speed at which the images will be shown in the show is decided by the tempo/speed/mood of the music at that moment. In one piece of music there will faster and slower movement, and the slide will fade in sooner if the music is faster and vice versa. The show will keep running until the program quits.
I am trying to create a full-frame photo slideshow/photo transition like the one on this site-It shows a random background photo each time a link is clicked and has a nice diagonal "wipe" effect for a transition. Then photos of their work are shown when exploring that section. How would I generate the random photos and transition effect upon clicking a link?
I understand that there are many methods to creating a slideshow on a website, but that isn't my question. What I really want to know is what is the most mainstream method of creating a slideshow on a website.What do you recommend?So far I've seen Jquery, Javascript, CSS & DHTML, and Flash. The first thing that comes to mind for me is flash, then second Javascript.
i want to create a slideshow of animation clips.It will either jpg sequence of animation or swf files. Actually the problem is, flash library is not capable to handle such a huge load of image sequence .so its crashing,and .swf files are losing the visual quality.
i am trying to develop one a story using flash.i have 7-8 animated swf file story. now i want to create a slideshow such that when i will click on 1st swf , next swf will play. i was tried in following way.
1.take 1st index page of story as a fla file.
2. then when i 'll run it i will click on it(using button), then one swf file is loaded.i dnt know how can i click on swf file so that next swf will play?
this relates to the tutorial posted by kirupa on creating an image slideshow using xml with actionscript: [URL] this slideshow is great, but i'm wondering whether it is possible to start it in the middle of the sequence. so, for instance could one button load a swf file with code that would start the slideshow at, say, frame 5 out of 10? i understand how the actionscript for this works, but am running into deadends on how to get the xml more specific. oh, and i'm using flash 8 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.
Here's the excellent Todd Dominey crossfading slide show. All I want is just that after the slideshow has ended (by choosing "sequential" on the xml file) with 10 pictures of flowers for examples, I want it to load by itself another .swf (movie2.swf for example)
Code: /* Crossfading slide show */ // set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below var randomNum = 0; var randomNumLast = 0; // parent container [Code] .....
Among all this code, where do i write "loadmovieNum ("movie2.swf", 0)" to get out from this string? I want to create an interactivity between pictures slideshow + graphic swf's I created with graphics, drawing etc...
What I try to make in Flash is some kind of interactive slideshow, with .swf files instead of static images. I want to have kind of control pannel with buttons numbered from 1 to n, always visible at the front layer. In the background, there will be swf files that change, for example, every 30 seconds. And each change consists of fade in and fade out effect of the swf container (and so the loaded swf file itself). During the swf changes, the buttons should change too by switching their states from 0 to 1 and so on. User should be able to skip to any frame he wants by clicking the corresponding button.This is the code I already have:
This is my first flash project and I am attempting to create a slide show that automatically changes frame after a certain time, but also have buttons for each frame. [URL] is the page where i have the flash slideshow on. I used a tutorial to make the nav bar, and used what I learned there, as well as some googling to attempt the slideshow. So far I think its turned out pretty good, but I have a problem. THe buttons work fine, but the auto change gets stuck on the second slide, even if I click to a differnet button to goes back to frame 2. Which makes me think that the function doesn't even go past the if(frame==1). here is the code
Code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import flash.events.MouseEvent; var img1FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img1, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true); stop(); var slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 8000); [Code] .....
I am trying to create a simple 6 frame flashplayer type object, and I want a movie clip in each frame. So frame 1 has movieclip1 and frame to has movieclip2 and so on. I have a forward and a back button so if you are watching movieclip1 you can hit forward and watch movieclip2.This is the code that I have on my actions layer...
I'm trying to create a simple fading RSS reader. I'm using PHP to create an XML document. Then I'm calling the XML into Flash using the following code.
ActionScript Code: function postXML (loaded){ if (loaded){ postNode = this.firstChild; newsID = []; newsHeadline = []; [Code] .....
I display this information in a movieclip that has several dynamic textfields. My problem is this. PHP calls the information in descending order. I want the most recent post to display first, that's why I do it that way. How can I reverse cycle through the nodes. There will be five. I'd like to use the id attribute as the reference to cycle through the nodes. I'd also like there to be a 15 second delay for each slide. I guess I'm basically creating a text slideshow. 15 seconds with an option to pause.
I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.
i have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.
I currently am working off of a flash template. In the header of the flash template are a few pictures that show up like a slidshow. I was wondering how I add more pictures for the slideshow.
I am looking for a way to run a slideshow without using XML, but controlling the entire show with AS3. I have all of the resources and code to run a dynamic show, but I am attempting to build this on Oracle's Content Management System“ Stellent. Stellent does not allow us to access our external XML files or external assets such as images, js, swf, etc.
The best way to go about building our slideshows for use with this CMS is to make them fully integrated in themselves. The downside, obviously is a larger filesize, but does anybody know how I would go about building this into itself, instead of externally?[code]...
I am using an xml slideshow as explained in Kirupas Photo Slideshow tutorial Using XML and Flash
[URL]
How can I make these adjustments:
the slides always fade in after the preloader. I would like a preloader for the first picture but then have the picture show until the nxt image has loaded instead of showing a preloader inbetween. It would also be nice if the images could then blend over instead of just having the nxt image fade in.

I am trying to create a slide show using actionscript that changes the images automatically. I have the script for a slide show that has buttons to let the user change the slides. It gets the images from a specified folder (which I want it to do- they are all named 1.jpeg, 2.jpeg...etc which makes it easy to update them) and loads it into an image holder named (imageHolder). There is a function called nextImage which loads the next picture, but at the moment is controlled by the buttons. I'm not sure how to get it to change images automatically using actionscript.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a component or 3rd party slideshow that supported displaying .swfs. Slideshow Pro is a nice component for video and images but lacks swf support.
I agreed to put together a flash slideshow that contains 3 separate slides in one pane to the left and with a separate corresponding section for text to the right.
I can make a slideshow by importing 30 or so images and using the timeline. I can make a slideshow by importing 30 or so images and using actionscript so that the timeline is realtively short.
What is the best way? I discovered how to do it by loading a movieclip with the image, but that is risky because depending on the connection, it sometimes loads too late.
What is the most streamlined, small filesize way to make a long slideshow? Can you point me to posts that talk about this or tutorials?
I have a slideshow on the opening page of my website and about a minute and a half in, it starts to slow way way down. It looks choppy and really bad - I had the slide in its own file and it was fine - then I made it into a single movie clip and cut and paste it into the website on the first frame so it would play automatically right away - then it started doing the slow thing when I previewed it
i want is a simple 4-picture slideshow for the site, and i already have it done. Thing is, i want it to loop indefinitely, but i can not achieve that unless i put this script into actions: stop();function delay () {nextFrame();}setInterval(delay, 6000); Thing is....that prevents the loop because of the stop command. However, i can't slow it down unless i do this.....I want 6 seconds in between looping pictures.
So I have made a basic slideshow on flash for a website. Nice but simple, 3 images fading in and out. But I want to make a slideshow that moves either vertically or horizontally, but most likely at an angle. I also want some text to either fade in or move as well. So I have a few questions.1) What is the best way to get th pictures to move at an angle? I have read some xml options for editing in dreamweaver, can't seem to find one for moving the picture.I would imagine you have to edit it in flash? Yes I'm new to flash!2) I take it you edit the text in flash, could it be dynamic text and what is the best way to move it?
I need to create a flash file with video but at specific frames/times in the video I need an image to appear next to the video. This is the result of a research conference where the speakers were filmed as they talked through their presentation. The flash file needs to show this video alongside the slides from the speakers powerpoint presentation.
I already have the video converted using the media encoder and the slides from powerpoint converted to jpegs.I just need to know how I select a time/frame in the video and presumable generate some actionscript code to load an image at that playback time in the flash file.
A rather clunky version of what I am trying to di can be found at: http:[url]....
