I have tested it with a simple tester.swf that is just a black square with text on and that loads in fine. However when i try to load my slideshow it doesn't appear. I get all of the output from it but it isn't visible.
I have attached the slideshow. As i guess there's something in there that's messing it up.
it loads the images and text from xml. I need this to load in two images simultaneously, 1 picture and 2 the color bar over it.. becuase each slide needs to have its own color.
I used the script below for a slideshow in Macromedia Flash MX2004. The images are in the folder images.xml (and believe me, I checked the names many times). But now the problem: when I load this slideshow, it shows only 3 photos, whereas there are 10 in my folder which I need to show. After the 4th photo I get only black.... it doesn't continue. I cannot figure out what the problem is! Anyone who is more clever out there?

Is it possible to load a Flickr slideshow into a Flash website?
I know you can load it into an HTML page, but I want to load it into my 100% Flash website. However, I can't get this to work. I picked apart the HTML embed code and pieced it back together as a URL that gets me exactly what I want, but Flash will not do anything with it.
Here is the code I am using:
Code: Select allvar loader:Loader = new Loader(); btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick); function btnClick(e:MouseEvent):void{ loader.load(new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.flickrURL +
I have a flash CS3 slideshow that loads it's content from an external .xml file. If I export the HTML it plays fine, but if I move the HTML to the site root directory (just outside the directory with the .swf file), and let dreamweaver update the links the flash slideshow will not play. my site is at: [URL] the flash with the .xml is in [URL]
Does anyone know any good tutoriols on how to create a "slideshow" or "playlist" in ActionScript3? The slide can be either a simple picture, a soundfile or a video. I want to be able to jump back and forth in the slideshow/playlist, and also see how long a slide will be shown. The playlist will be loaded from a pre-defined XML-file.
Having an online swf doing some slideshow with loaded pictures from an xml filme, how can I, after building the slideshow with some transitions, export the result movie into a flv/mov/* file?know how you can get pictures from a xml file into flash and then proceed to build the slideshow (showing, of course, the swf in the page).What I need is a somewhat hidden swf that would process this pictures and then export the movie into a folder.Example:
-> user uploads pictures
-> user click preview movie
-> pictures are loaded into the flash file
-> movie is built
-> final file is saved into some folder
-> user is warned about the movie being done and read to download

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

I have been dealing with this for a while now...I cannot seem to be able to accomplish it...I am trying to load a slideshow swf as background of my main swf, but I want the images to fill the entire browser.
so far I have loaded the slideshow on my main timeline in an empty movie clip, but the resizing does not work right away...I guess because the empty movie clip has no size in the beginning...when I resize the browser window then my slideshow becames visible.

I have a slideshow posted at url....My client is saying it takes too long to load, and I am finding that it is loading all of the photos first before you can scroll through and view them. It's just not functioning properly.I wonder if someone could look at the actionscript and give me any suggestions? Maybe there's something else going on?I have attached the script from the original fla file.

I've used the so-called "Barney's Slide Menu" for some websites I've built. eg: www.mediashox.com
As some of you may know, this is built in AS1. I'd like to load an xml slideshow into this menu [which is on level0, of course]. But it seems all xml slideshows are built in AS2 or later.
Is there any way I can load an xml slideshow into this Barney's menu? Are all xml driven flash movies AS2 or later?
I downloaded the sample file of making slide photos, but I just can't make it run and load pictures automatically and loop itself continuously. How do I do it without have to hit next or previous? And all done with action scripting only without using keyframes? [URL]
All I'm trying to do is load an external .swf file into a precise location on the stage of my existing Flash file. I've spent an hour and a half on this site search and found nothing. What do I add to my loadMovie command to place the file at specific x,y coordinates?
I would like to run a .swf file into an existing flash file, but the dimension size of the .swf file is too big. I am a beginner to flash and not sure of the steps to execute this. Would anyone be willing to walk me through the steps to import the code?
Making a photo slideshow to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed. Here is a link to the .swf file: [URL]. There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear! I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other. When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.
I'm trying to load an xml file from via http into my flash 8 file. Locally it works fine but when on the server it fails. I assume this has to do the flash security sandbox. How do I get around this. I own the servers so is there some sort of fix that I upload to allow the swf to receive the data?
I am trying to load a txt file into flash by putting the url in an xml file. The XML file is structured like this:
HTML Code: <pic> <image>pictures/AW0001.jpg</image> <description>text/AW0001.txt</description> </pic>
Now I load it into arrays in flash: image[0] and description[0]. The images is displayed the way I want to, the thing is I want to pass on the url that is in description[0] to a loadMovie or something like that. If i say desc_txt.text = description[0]; it will just show AW0001.txt in flash. I've also tried this with load and loadVars but I can't figure it out.
I have designed a "Before-and-After" slideshow using Alpha tweens to slowly fade one image into another. The effect works great, however, it seems that the effect only works on the first time the user enters that page. If the user clicks the "play again" button, I reload the .swf and want the effect the play again, but it just moves from the first to second image, without the alpha effect transition.Is there some way to "reset" the .swf to replay the alpha tween effect? why it would have this behavior? The site and effect are purely actionscript, so I cannot do something like "goToAndPlay(1)" in the last frame, the entire site is only in the first frame.
I have a Wondershare Flash slide show in .swf and I want that to play in my Flash website.I tried to import it directly into .fla, but I can't get it to work.And I tried different actions I found on the internet and forums.It keeps giving me the same error.

i have a slideshow made out on an swf file and i want to import into my big fla file so when i click on my gallery button the gallery page opens and the slideshow.swf appears. I can get the gallery page to open no problem but how do i import the swf to this page so it appears and is ready when i click on the gallery page?
A client is asking for a slideshow to embed into a web page. The slideshow will have a thumbnail bar with arrows on either side to switch to the next or previous batch of thumbnails.This slideshow needs to be linked to an external file that will contain pictures submitted by visitors to the site. The pictures will automatically generate thumbnails that will call a large version of the image when clicked on.My current knowledge about flash and AS3 coding does not enable me to do this. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not possible at all. It sounds like something that needs to be handled by a content management system.
