First of all congratulations for you all who made this forum the best Flash Forum, as you can see this is my first post and I have a doubt about a Flash+XML gallery. Presently I'm working in a simple website for a car seller. The offers section is composed of two main parts. First part is a clip (MC_AllCars) where is dynamically loaded "thumbnail + description" for each car found in the XML file. I get this with a couple of "for" loops. With this loops I read and extract the data, and then I put it with attachMovie in a movieClip used as template. This part isn't difficult to develop, but second is more difficult (for a newbie actionscripter like me).
The second part is other movierClip (MC_CarDetails) working as another template. In this template would be loaded all the car details It would be like this:

Here is the code for Dynamic Autoscroll Flash Gallery.In all images are loaded dynamicaly from xml.In this all the images should of same size.The Movie clip in the stage should be of image size.
View 3 RepliesI have created a slider menu that moves when the arrows are clicked on either side. The images for this menu are loading dynamically from an xml file onto a 'container' in my fla.I need desperately to also be able to add text underneath those pics.
Code is :
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

I want to make Flash Gallery like this: [URL]. I think it is Dynamic and pics are showing through xml.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to build a Flash gallery that would load a variable amount of images and create a scrolling gallery, with pop-up previews of each image. Essentially, something like this (left/right scrolling arrows, hovering popup preview) but I want it to be AS3 as that's what I'm focusing on learning. I'm quite new to this and not from a coding background, so pardon my question if it's redundant but I've searched for something non-XML based and couldn't find it. If someone could explain to me why XML-based dynamic galleries are better then perhaps I could convince my web-developer coworkers, but for now they've requested a stand-alone Flash app. We need a generic gallery we can use on various sections of our site.
I really appreciate your help. If the pop-up preview and the dynamic loading are 2 different tutorials, fine by me, I just don't feel I have the knowledge or resources to pull this off on my own yet.
I've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.
Trying to make a dynamic gallery that pulls images (along with names and dimensions) from different folders on the server. Want clients to be able to drop new images into these folders and have them pulled into the gallery dynamically. Do I need to use PHP as I did with AS2? or can AS3 pull the image names and dimensions from the folders on the server?
View 9 RepliesI have a dynamic thumbnail gallery that laods thumbnails from db/xml and also each thumbnails associated main image. When the user rolls over the thumbnail the larger image displays to the right.
THis is all working fine however I need to update the script to change the thumbnail gallery layout from a 3 column 2 row gallery to a 4column 4 row gallery.I've adjusted the as and resized the thumbnails to allow for this and setup a 8px spacer between thumbs
[Code]...
Just thought I'd see if this is possible with the XML Photo Gallery.1. Is it possible to create a dynamic border for the loaded image depending on the size of the image being loaded? 2. Is it possible to move the Y position of the caption text box depending on the height of the loaded image? ie if the image is 200 pixels high, then the text box should be positioned at 220 pixels.The current code I have which loads the images then automatically scrolls through them is:
Code:
delay = 6000;

View 2 RepliesI have been looking for a while on the web, but somehow, the answer Does anyone knows a comprehensive tutorial on how to build a dynamic photo gallery with an integrated content managenent system.the only results that i found are concerning a gallery updatable via ftp and modifying the xml file
View 7 Repliesi am trying to put some things together following the tutorials on this site. I did the tutorial 'Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash'and I followed it step by step and uploaded it with all the necessary files onto my remote server (xml file, Gallery folder, fla, swf, and html) - however, when I test the movie with flash, it seems to work fine (except the description test, my question to that later), but when I test it online it shows only the first image (but displays the correct number of images in the gallery); even when clicking the next button, it keeps loading the first image the first image. In other galleries (I use the structure for multiple galleries for my portfolio) the first image never loads at all.
Also, about the description text, in between the <caption> and </caption>, can I use <strong> and <em> and <br /> to change the appearance of my text? All it says is 'null'.If you want to look at what I mean check out my portfolio in the making. The problem with the first image displaying only is under 'paintings' and both the projects in 'design - packaging'. The second problem (no picture loading at all) is on some of the buttons in 'design - identity' (where I have not changed the description text of the tutorial yet).
Again,
I want to make a dynamic photo gallery. The layout will be a scrollable bar at the bottom with thumbnails and then when you click one, a big version of the picture in the main window. Pretty simple layout. But! I want it to be dynamic in the sense that follows;
I have a txt file that contains the number of photos in the folder (at the moment, there are 5). Flash reads that number, and inputs that into a for statement, which then gets the filename of each of the 5 files (p0, p1, p2, etc) and slaps a .jpg on the end. Its like this so that i can add files to the folder, change the number in the text file, and be done (no site maintenance required).
Now comes the problem. I want to be able to, within the for statement, load those files AND be able to resize them. What i'm doing now is putting an instance of the gallery itself on the stage (just an empty movie clip), and in the for statement I am adding a "thumb" movie clip into that gallery movie clip, and loading the image into that. Visually:
Gallery_mc
--->thumb_mc
------->loaded image file.
The problem is that I can't resize them. I've tried using the loadercontentinfo stuff, but when i do that, it messes up my for loop somehow. I could always make all of my thumbnail files that size anyways, but I am also hoping to maybe implement my creation here in the future so that I can give it to others who aren't tech savvy and having them be able to use it without any difficulty. Here is the code:
Code:
//Create the URLLOader instance
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
//the data will come as URL-encoded variables
[code]....
I took out the loaderinfo stuff because it didnt work. As it stands, this version actually does sucessfully load the images, but doesnt do anything to resize them.
What I'm trying to do is build a Dynamic XML scrolling gallery, but it's not going to be a gallery, more like scrolling images with links, that when you click on an image, it will take you to the url designated for each image in the XML.I have no experience working with AS3, so far what I've got are things I'm learning trying to build this.The issue:The issue is that when I run the script, the url designated to all the created movie clips have the same url. For example it will use first "link" on the XML on all 4 movie clips (so all the movie clips would be linked to , or it will use the last "link" in the XML for all movie clips (so all the movie clips would be linked to . How may I fix the issue above?

I'm trying to create a simple photos gallery.I load a new picture into the scene using loadMovie function. X and Y coordinates are custom for each photo so it would be centered nicely. The size of the picture is different too. It means, we have 4 variable distances here (question marks in the graph).Now the hard part.I want to divide a loaded picture into two sides and convert them into two different hotspots. I'll be using these hotspots for prev/next buttons.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a dynamic image showcase for my homepage, which consists of a series of images fading in and out.I have created a flash file, with movie clip (empty) with an instance called "imageLoader"Then using some available AS I have called in the image (with a preloader function.) see below, the script has been pased on scene 1, frame 1.
startLoading("picture1.jpg");
function startLoading(whichImage) {

I'm trying to do a gallery with an XML file. My XML file is organized like that :
<images>
<image chemin="images/Palmares.jpg" titre="Palmares"
commentaire="Chamonix" />
</images>
The picture loader is working well and the text too but it doesn't work so well together. When I'm clicking on a sticker, the picture is load and a text too but it's not the good one.
I'm building a dynamic XML photo gallery/case study application that allows users to filter relevant results and then view the corresponding text/photos. So far i've used list components to scan my XML document and return the results for the filters, and then add thumbnails to a panel. When you click on the thumbnail, it brings up the first of a series of images, which i load into a Loader instance and add it to the stage using addChild();
The image sequence is then controlled by a series of navigational buttons, of which currently i only have "Next" and "Previous". The buttons work by incrementing/deincrementing a variable that is the index of the image currently being displayed, so when you hit next, it adds/subtracts 1 from that variable, and then uses that number for the index of my <image> tag in the XML doc. All works fine until you reach the end of the images. I have a conditional that tests if the currentImg variable is equal to the length(); property of the XML tag, and if it is, it resets the currentImg value to 0. And vice versa for the previous button. But when the file is published, and i reach the last image and hit the next button, i get this error:TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at MethodInfo-346()
The strange thing is, that if i hit next again, it does what it is supposed to do by going to the first image. Then if i cycle through the images once again the same thing happens. And the same scenario and error occurs when i hit the previous button on the first image. if i need to somehow remove the images from memory, or if they are still in memory and i need to access them a different way the second time around? this is very frustrating.
