i just followed the tut fmx2004 about the slideshow, it is very good! i just have one question : i would like the slideshow to be started by a click on a button (not run when loaded), and then run infinitly, how do I do that?
View 2 RepliesI really like this automated slide show tutorial using xml. However, I'm looking for help on why when using a modem connection the file loads the first image and stalls (out of the box, no modifications to the file at this point). I refresh the screen and it starts over and loads the first image and then the second image and stalls again. This stall occurs for each subsequent image until all images are loaded. I did try adding a preloader function in the fla file ... I tired loading the images using a JavaScript array in the body of the html page.
I read all the optimization help file information and help on publishing settings. I tried various published settings with compression, with compression. Tried different fps settings etc. I'm using MX. Downloaded trial versions of MX 2004 and MX 2004 Professional and still not working, as I would like it to on dialups.I have a similar version that is dynamically loading images but is using text files to load the variables. I am very interesting in this one because is uses xml. I tried clipping out the xml code and used it in my other file and I get the same result.

I have downloaded an excellent slide show tutorial from Slideshow.as[URL] and being new to As3 I very basically attached and removed the downloaded slide show on and off the stage with a simple button which fired the following code: addChild(); to make the slides appear and a removeChild(); to remove them. This worked fine until I quickly realised that each time the slide show was re added it had doubled in speed until after a few re loads it was wizzing through

I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

View 1 Repliesoriginal: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:

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.

View 4 RepliesI am a programmer with a relatively good background programming in ActionScript using Flash Builder. However, I have been handed a FLA file meant to be opened in Flash CS 4, and I have to add some code to it, but this is the first time I've ever used this software in my life.After I opened the file, I was greeted by a quite unhelpful interface (maybe it's friendly for artists?), and I immediately had questions such as:
-How can I edit the source code?
-How do I run the program?
-How is the source code organized?
-Where is the entry point of the program?
-How can I do source control of these files?
I've been looking at flash tutorials online, but every tutorial starts with drawing shapes, tweening, the timeline, etc. Honestly, I don't care about any of those things (they've already been done by people at the design team).I already know how to code in ActionScript, so what I need is a tutorial to give me a kickstart in coding -already designed- flash files using Flash (not Flash Builder).I have been fighting against flash cs4 all day and I am very very disappointed with it. I thought I was good with technology, but it has been a really long time since I last found a tool so difficult to use and understand.
I was wondering if there was a way to make the XML Flash Slideshow begin playing once it loads and to possibly have a pause feature. I saw this asked in another thread but there was no response to it.

View 1 Repliesi am pretty new to Flash, and I have started going through alot of this tutorials on this site, and it is really great btw. Anyhow, I was reading through the zoom in/out tutorial in the ActionScript > 3D in Flash tutorial, and I am having a little trouble figuring out where I should put the code, and actually see it work.
I did the following. I only made one figure so far, because I was just doing a test:
1) I draw a simple shape on the stage, converted it into a movie clip, and named it figureA
2) I then double clicked on it, and in the first frame, right clicked > Actions, and wrote the following code:

My question is what am I suppose to do next? Insert a keyframe and make a motion tween? I am kinda lost in the difference between actionscript motion or using motion tween.
i am leaning Flash for about 3 weeks now, and i am quite good in that. I am AMAZED by all cool effects and trying to learn atleast 1 new every day. This tutorial, Coloring Book in Flash , is giving me headache for the last 2 hours. On the beggining of tut, it say to download and open souce FLA file- I saw that there is only drawing in start FLA file, so I make my own. Is that mistake, right at the beginning? If so, where I can find tut in the whole, so I can use my own images?

Just got through with the "Displaying XML in Flash" tutorial and it was very easy. I took the XML document on the tutorial and created more childNodes within the parent node. The problem is that I cannot get the actionscript to display text in the text window beyond the first child node.I noticed in the [URL] that it tells how to get other data from the first child node but not the second.
