i have an xml driven photogallery with thumbs and the slideshow starts automatically and is cross fading and it has a next/play/pause/for buttons. Everything is fine but i don't like the way the thumbs scroller operates, it's way to mechanical and i would love to add an easing effect to it. How do i do that? this is the code of the whole gallery:

I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.
What I want to do is to make a gallery based on the tutorial gallery here (thumbs), but I want the user to be able to choose different galleries from within the movie. I figured that I could make a loop to cycle through the galleries, then nest another loop inside it to cycle through the pics, captions and thumbs. While I wrote, I constantly tested the output with trace commands, but when I tried nesting the loop I lost all output.. I'm pretty new to both Flash and Actionscript, so if theres an obvious solution I havent been able to see it.. This is my temp XML file:

I am using the Kirupa XML slideshow code and making somechanges so that I can use it with my images. I can change thedocument size and movieclip size to hold my larger images(830*400). The problem is that I don't want the white borders atthe top of and on the left of the image. How do I adjust this?
View 5 RepliesI have adapted the kirupa xml slideshow tutorial.However I would like to create a up and down buttons that jog the thumbnails + or - 3 thumb images either way.Is this a case of creating an on (release) action that tells the slider to advance a specified distance??[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to modify Kirupa's xml photo slideshow by adding an extra text field, which if I understand correctly gives each element 3 children (image+text1+text2) instead of 2 (image+text). Even though I've added the third child correctly in the xml, I can't seem to get it to work at all. Here is what I did with the actionscript:
delay = 10000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
[code]....
I've highlighted the parts I've added to the code provided by kirupa's tutorial. sub_text is the instance name I give to the new text field in Flash.
I am working on a flash project right now with the help of the tutorials found on this website and decided to use and modify this existing slideshow by Kirupa.

What I did was, I resized it according to my projects demands, which is 1024x650 [URL]Everything is working perfectly except for one drawback.
Some of my images are sized 440x650. Normally, when I link that to the XML file provided, it is aligned by default to the left. My current solution was to resize the entire file into 1024x650 creating the illusion that the image is at the center because I included the seamless background on the saved jpeg.My question is this, is there any way I can center the 440x650 image to be displayed in the slideshow?
Kirupa's original code is this one:
[code].....
how to add a sort of timer for the slideshow...one that counts down from fx 6 seconds to 0 every time a new image in the slideshow appears. something with a variable and a text area...but how to make the count down follow the image delay...i really would like to know if this is possible.
View 3 RepliesI have been trying to make four buttons on the bottom of the kirupa xml slideshow. I am trying to write a function that states on release advance to slide #? I was trying to use a similar function to:
Key.addListener(listen);
image1.onRelease = function() {
p=1 ? (p--, loadPic(p), slide=0) : null;
stop_btn._visible = 0;
[code]....
There are four images that are dynamically linked. The function is not recognizing that the image is p=1. Do I need to do something like total-3 or something.
I'm using the Kirupa tutorial of the xml auto slideshow. I need it to stop after it runs through all the images one time.How should I modify the code below in order to do that
delay = 3000;

function loadXML(loaded) {

I've been going through the tutorials and forum trying to build a photo slideshow. I managed to get the slideshow working with buttons, but am really stuck with trying to center the images ... I'm using portrait and lanscape images, and want them both to be vertically and horizontally centered in a 504x504 moive.
View 2 RepliesI'm using the auto slideshow with xml that you guys demo on your site (which I love BTW) -I need it to stop at the end of the last slide and the demo is set up for it to loop -It looks I need to alter the parse command but I don't know how to do that - Is there an explanation on the site of how to alter the AS so the slide show will end after it runs once through all the images?

View 1 RepliesI have a quiz app. All data is in an xml file. Right now when the user starts the application he/she has to pick a chapter from a combobox and all questions for that chapter get loaded. What I'm trying to do is have only one chapter instead of multiple in my xml file and remove the combo box completely. So when the user starts the application the chapter gets loaded automatically. How can I have the quiz load automatically and not when the user selects the chapter from the combobox.

I'm using the code below to create a simple gallery of thumbs in a line with space between each thumbnail.[code]I have a rollover/out function that scales up/down the thumb outwards from the centre of the thumb.I was expecting the scaling thumbnail to "push" the other thumbnails left and right as it scaled...but it only shifts the thumbs to the right of it and the thumbs to the left do not move.I need code to allow a scaling thumbnail to push aside the other thumbs in every direction.

I have a rollover/out function that scales up/down the thumb outwards from the centre of the thumb.
I was expecting the scaling thumbnail to "push" the other thumbnails left and right as it scaled...but it only shifts the thumbs to the right of it and the thumbs to the left do not move.
Imagine a 3 thumbnails in a horizontal line, I want the middle thumbnail (thumbnail 2) to scale from the centre and push thumbnail 1 to the left and thumbnail 3 to the right. But obviously I want this to work for x amount of thumbs.
I need to get more control over the thumbnails.
gallXML.ignoreWhite = true;
gallXML.onLoad = gallery;
gallXML.load ("gallery.xml");[code]....
this has to be an array, so that I can give all thumbnails together an order. I thought this was an array, but I can't get control over this. When I trace 'thumbHolder', I get back only the last thumb. If I trace 'this', than I get the right one. i.e:
_level0.thumbnails.thumbnail4) */
thumbHolder._y = i * spacing;
thumbHolder.title = picHolder.attributes.title;[code].....

View 3 RepliesI am having problems formatting the XML Flash photo gallery. I can't seem to get the photos to center on the page. Some of my photos are vertical and others horizontal, and they are all pushed to the left. I don't want to make all the photos the same width. Is there any way to use css to style the xml? Or is there some other way to do it? Url...Also, if anyone notices any other problems with the gallery,please let me know. This is only the second thing I've done in Flash, and I may have made some mistakes when I changed things.

I've been busy to understand the Bokel class, but I couldn't find a good tutorial about thumbnail threatment.
I've downloaded and slightly modified the Photo Gallery with Thumbnails .fla file. It works fine, except when you mouse over the right side, it keeps scrolling until all of the thumbnails are off the screen. Going to the left, it works fine, stopping when you reach the first thumbnail. On the original, it works as it should.
