It's been a while. I'm still improving this slide show application I've been working on. I've got a new idea, but I'm not quite sure how to incorporate it, I've got a dynamic image slideshow. It pulls all images from an XML file. I've also got some true/false variables, etc in a text file that it pulls from as well.

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.
How can I make a dynamic slideshow, which works only with next/previous buttons and has over image (part of the image) hyperlinks, which are positioned each time different (the position data maybe in XML?), depending on the image?
View 0 RepliesI'm working on a flash slideshow with transitions that I need to loop smoothly. I have four movie clips, one on each layer and each one loads and fades on top of the previous one. When it loops back around to the beginning, I don't get a a smooth transition. I get white space for a few seconds. On the last frame I have gotoAndPlay(1); and on frame 1 I have my loadVariablesNum statement.
how to loop this seamlessly?
Here's the url - the images may be blurry and are only for testing: [URL]
I am wanting to create a dynamic mask for the transition in the Kirupa XML Slideshow tutorial. Instead of having a fade in, i would like to have an effect like the one here for the image transition.

I would like to create a simple slideshow for my Web site that is populated with images from a database. All I want it to do is pull the 6 most recent photos using ColdFusion, fade from one image to the next and loop.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to dynamically load images into this slideshow. I have 2 MC's, one with an animated mask, one without. I am trying to load an image into the first MC, have the mask reveal it, then load that image into the 2nd MC which is behind this one. This way, when the next image loads and has the mask show it, the other image will still be on the stage behind the new one, and so forth.Here is the excerpt of code from where the main actions are being done..
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
var canMoveOn:Boolean;
[code]....
- From my XML file an array is created with several background images
- The first image gets randomly loaded into a BitmapData and is attached to the first movieclip for smoothing. After that the movieclip gets proportionally scaled to fit the Stage.
- After an interval (set in the XML) the second image gets randomly loaded into a BitmapData and is attached to the second movieclip with a nice fade-in effect. After that the movieclip gets proportionally scaled to fit the Stage and the movieclips swap their depths.
- The third image gets loaded into a BitmapData and is attached to the first movieclip again.
etc etc etc.

I've constructed a dynamic slideshow using ActionScript 2.0 and PHP/MySQL. The reason for this, aside from update purposes, is that the slideshow will eventually display over 200 images. Thus, to save loading time and bandwidth, I decided to use PHP to pull ten images from an SQL database, formatting the output in XML. The slideshow itself works fine. Unfortunately, there are a couple of issues I need to address; my ActionScript is extremely rusty, so much of my work's patchy.
The code's displayed below:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("getData.php");
[Code] .....
The code in red is my main focus. It's the loop which loads all images as movie clips using the XML information from an array. The loop loads all of the images, making them transparent before the presentation begins. What I would like to do instead, to save loading time, is to load the next image while the current one is displaying. The function "moveSlide" controls the transition of the images, so I'd imaging it'd be best to plade it in there.
There's already an incremental variable being used, with _root.target_mc, for removing transparency from the current slide. The code in blue is also nagging me quite severely. I retrieve the next chain of slides by simply contacting the PHP script again. The only way I could think of doing that was to refresh the slideshow (this is done COMPLETELY in ActionScript, with nothing on the stage). Unfortunately, I could only work out how to reload the whole video.
I'm using the dynamic text scroller from [URL] found at [URL] Here's a link to my zipped files too... [URL]
1) I can't figure out how to have URL links in the text that loads.
2) How can I make the scroller refresh to allow for new text in the dynamic text area. The content changes alright, but the scroller stays in the same position and if it wasn't needed initially, the scroller disappears and doesn't return on new text.
is possible to align text in dynamic text control vertically to the middle? In flash CS3.
View 1 RepliesI am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:
var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";
What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?
PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.
i can't get flash to show, and in a dynamic text box which loads text via a variable from a .txt file on a server.

View 3 RepliesCurrently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
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 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.
