In Kirupa's tutorial, Adding Thumbnails, when an image is loaded in the thumbnail viewer, you are able to click on it and load an external page. I've been searching for a while, but I am unable to figure out how to accomplish this.

I am creating a website that has four different pages with two different pages that load pictures into a loader. Right now, everything is loading fine, but when I go to the frames (i.e. other pages of the website) where the loader doesn't exist, and then I go BACK to one of the previous pages, the loader doesn't display anything when I press the buttons. The dynamic text box doesn't load either. I am using two different arrays to load it. Also, I had to put the Actions on the second frame of the whole scene for some reason. Is there some rule about having buttons on one frame load things into a loader that is on another frame?[code]...
View 1 RepliesI've just started flash a few weeks back, and have been fiddling with it ever since, as i have to make a site for my yr12 project...
I wanted to know the best way to load the pages in my movie. Its sort of a complicated site. What happens is, a slider (containing the nav buttons) moves left and right across the screen according to a variable. When the buttons is pressed, it will also change the background, and loadMovie into the main screen.
Now my question is, is it best to have the 4 pages on the main timeline, and the movie moves to a frame label depending on which button is pressed, or have all the movieclips called and retreated according? Hard thing is, if the menu slider is on the left, when a button is pressed it goes to the frame label right? Well, if that particular frame has the keyframes set at the right already, it'll jump to the left before sliding to the right....
I have a external swf file of the kirupa xml thumbnail gallery. the first problem i had is the thumbnail scroller didnt work. ive been struggling to fix this problem, for a few hours now. ive been googling this and found solutions that i had to change _root. to _level0 , _parent, and _root.container these kinda works but the next big problem i have now is that it scrolls but it keeps shaking left and right constantly and tis really bugging me.
View 4 RepliesIn my timeline I have different link hot spots, so that each product will link to a separate web page (externally).I don't think this is going to work:When I upload the Flash file to a server to test, the links show me the 'pointing finger' icon, but when clicked upon it does not even open another web page attempting to follow the link. - that tells me this doesn't work!I need to get this correct for when the final goes live. What am I missing? Should I try the extension? (product01.asp)
View 6 RepliesI'm having trouble and I was hoping someone could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong. I have a main .swf file from which external .swf files are being loaded through the use of buttons.When I preview the animation, everything works just fine. The problem occurs when I put the animation on the website where it needs to be. The main animation appears like it's supposed to, but the buttons are not successful in loading the external .swf files. I've made sure that all .swf files are on the server but still nothing.
Here's the AS:
stop();
var presentationLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(presentationLoader);

var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if(myPrintJob.start()) {
var printOptions = new PrintJobOptions(false);

View 1 RepliesI have built a gallery similar to the one found on Kirupa with a siding thumbnail gallery that references xml. Everything works great except that the images I want to load at their large size vary in width so when they load referencing the upper left hand corner they are not centered. I would like to load them so that each image in centered in the "picture" image area. I created a new movie clip and gave it the instance name of "picture" and center justified it but the images now load with THEIR upper left corner in the center of the "picture" image area. do I have to add code to the xml? is there anything I can ad to th AS to load pictures centered?

I've searched the threads to find something that may help but as i'm not too good with AS i'm not sure what Is relevant to what I need. So i'm hoping someone can put it simply for me.
I have a pattern in the background of each page on my website which sits on the Index page. When each new page is loaded, on release of the relevant button, the background pattern should change colour. I have 9 pages to load therefore it changes colour 9 times.
What sort of code should I use? I'm not familiar with changing colours in AS!

I have a flash image gallery that loads images through xml. Images have to be croped for thumbnails. So u have to have two folders, one for the thumbnails an another file for the big size images. I would like to know if there is a way to load only one image ( and not this image's thumbnail too) and with a script or something, to resize this image to get the thumbnail. To make my self clearer here is the xml code:
image../gallery_flash/imageGallery/images/watches/i1005.jpg image
thumb../gallery_flash/imageGallery/thumbs/watches/i1005.jpg thumb
(For some reason it doesnt show the xml right...) I dont want to have the line (thumb>../gallery_flash.), but only load one image and get the thumbnail also.
I am going to create a scrolling panel with quite large image. The height will be 400px and the width will be different from image to image.
If I do this in only flash the swf will be too large for use on the Internet. So I want to load the images from a xml-document. And this is my problem:
How do I load my images into the panel from an xml-document? And the width of my panel should be as long as the total width of the images are.
