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 created an application and it has a menu bar at the top of the stage it also has a loader component below it. i need the loader to load an swf when an item is selected from the menu. Does anybody know how to code this. I am using the following code:

my slideshow seems to load irrationally sometimes. it used to work ok before but now it has a mind of its own :/[URL]
View 1 RepliesI 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 want to load an external swf slideshow I made and Iwould like to choose the coordinates that it will load.In fact if Imade a swf file from CS4 I found the code to load it but the samecode doesn't load for me the slideshow.The code is
createEmptyMovieClip("menu_holder", 1);
menu_holder._x = 10;
menu_holder._y = 10;

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.
View 6 Repliesmake one of my images in a slideshow (which the images are linked externally through actionscript) load a button that is only accessible when that specific image is shown.
for example-image 1- no button but image 2 has the button, image 3-no button, image 4 no button.... and so on.
heres my script for the slideshow and prev and next buttons
var totalSlides:Number = 6;var currentImage:Number = 0;var imagePath:String = "images/ad";var imageName:String = "ad";var imageExt:String = ".jpg";
var adImages:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I have a slideshow .swf file. When I load it into my website it shrinks it. Why?This is the embed code
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="165" align="right" id="FlashID" title="diapo4">

<param name="quality" value="high" />[code]....
I'm trying to load a slideshow swf into another flash file using this script and a blank movieclip on stage:
ActionScript Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("phHolder", 1);
container._x = 150;
container._y = 20;
loadMovie("photography.swf", "phHolder");
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 added a node in the xml file shown in red here.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>

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]
View 4 RepliesI 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 +

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.
View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI 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.

I am trying to make a menu that loads external swf's into my current movie. Here is the code that I have, which does what I want, except the buttons only work in order... you can't click the last one first, for example... They only work in the order in which the button variables are scripted...

I have been looking at so many snipets and such.. and whats with all the brackets at the end... I kept adding them until it wasn't expecting right bracket at end of program anymore. Like I said, it works but you have to click "about" first and so on down the list, once through, then what ever order after you have loaded them all once.
how to load external menu into main.swf . do i have to create 2 different empty MC's
View 2 Repliesi'm using hga77's xml menu you can view here.ok, so i'm trying to load swfs from the menu, what i've got so far is:
Code:
function executeAction()
{
loadMovie("NEWS.swf", _root.content);
trace(NEWS.swf);
[code]....
but the menu stops working. is there anything i can stick in this bit "function executeAction()" that will make the loadmovie load a different swf each time, rather than creating loads of loadmovie functions.
I have a menu that is populated by XML, I'd like to know how I can clear that menu to load another one in it's place.
I can get the other menu to load but it's adding itself to the previously generated menu:
so let's say I have an XML document that has <menuItem> nodes that have nodes within them named [this is the default menu][code]...
how can i clear the XML or for loop that created the buttons so that the newly loaded menu from the newly loaded xml is the only menu that is displayed and not tacked on to the existing menu?
For some reason the menu doesn't load to the URL that I specify in my xml file. When I click on it, it showed up as text underneath the menu itself as Link clicked How can I make it so that the link will actually go to URL that I specify in my xml file?[code]

I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.
View 4 RepliesI'm making a loader.swf to load a menu.swf file. I'm done this dozens of times the same way and it has worked perfect. But this time...when I load my menu and trace it out, the loader keeps loading and reloading the menu.swf infinitley and I don't know why.
The only thing I've discovered is that my menu.swf file will load just fine IF I delete all of the actionscript from it. If there is even a comment in there the infinite loop starts again.

i have used a purchased site template, everything works fine locally but when the site goes live it starts off fine but the first menu you click on nothing ever happens, if i go to another menu this loads as expected and if i then go back to the previous (non working) menu it also now loads. Everything works fine from now on just never on the intial load, does anyone have any idea why this may happen?
