View 2 RepliesA couple days I started a topic about how to load a folder of pictures into a flash movie(photo gallery).
With some tutorials I almost got it but something is not working very good.The images are displayed to big. They apear out of the box they should be in.
I dont know where to look anymore... is there someone that can take a look at my files?
I will attach them in a .zip file. (the "img" map is empty because the file was to big)
I'm having some problems with the XML/FLASH Photo Gallery Tutorial ([URL]). When I load the swf file into another movie the dynamic text will not display. Any thoughts to why this is happening.
View 1 Replies want to load a lightbox gallery from within a flash .swf i no its possible because iv seen it done many times, and iv tried every tutorial on the net, most of which say the same thing, which I have done and it still doesnt work.So far I have created a javascript delegate which turns the flash command getURL into an anchor tag containing a rel="" attribute. Here is my javascript:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
[code]...
I have then used a flash button to call the javascript function, in theory this should load my lightbox, however all that happens is the flash swf disappears and no lightbox overlay or image appears. I no that fksh objects do disappear when lightbox loads, however mine doesnt load. My ActionScipt on the flash button is as so:
Actionscript Code:
on (release) {getURL("javascript:LightboxDelegate('1.jpg','caption1')", "_self")}

I have made a site in flash and left the gallery page till last.I have found a free gallery online and am trying to load the gallery.swf file from it to the stage of my main file.It works but the file does not play. It will just load the first frame and the images wont come up.the way that I am using the loading function is by: loadMovie("gallery.swf", galleryLoader);
galleryLoader is the instance name of my Loader Component found in Flash 8 component panel.Someone said to add: galleryLoader.content ._lockroot = true;
But it makes the gallery small I need it to an exact size.
I want to load the image gallery into my main movie.I have tried using the Loader component so that I can place the gallery in the middle of the main movie but the gallery just doesn't load correctly! I want it to load inside the Loader box in the middle of the page but it kicks the images out to the edge of the main movie.I suspect I need to edit the AS of the gallery.fla to specify the width of the SWF gallery inside the Loader, so I can send that to you via email - can't post it here cos its too long.
View 6 RepliesI 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 making a site with a scrolling photo gallery. The site is located at [URL]I have a scrolling thumbnail gallery that is perfect for me. I am happy with it with one exception. I used the loadmovie function to make it and for some reason it takes a long time on slower internet for the movie to initially load. What i would like to do is have the movie open up fairly fast and the individual pictures can load once they are clicked. I want to use xml however i don't know how to do it.
I would like to keep the same setup on my photo page but i want to use xml because i think it would be better on loading. I am interested in this type of gallery. [URL] I found this online and put it on my server. I love this gallery I just want these effects and xml layout in my gallery. I dont even have to have the cool fade effects i just need the site to load faster and the pictures to load individually.
[URL] For reasons unknown to me, the xml gallery on the page above won't load in any of the images in Firefox. However it does work in IE7, as well as locally in Firefox, Safari and Opera. I have tried removing the whole site and re-uploading it, as well as updating the individual files separately but I still seem to have the same problem.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie gallery (they are basically images with a fading effect), and I got it setup, and working, but I cannot get right the action script to make the first movie load when the page opens. The only thing I get to see is the scroll bar with the thumbnails, and after I click on the images I can see the full size. I would like the full size image of the first thumbnail to show up as default when the page opens. And then, if you click on the thumbnails the other images will appear.This is the action script for a typical Thumbnail (setup as a button):
on (release) {
loadMovie("clip0.swf", "_root.screen");
}
I know Flash developers have done Kiosks and renovated arcade games. "Come on, we see Flash everywhere."Can I prepare my swf files like an image gallery and receive XML commands to load it? Where do I start? Flash/After Effects skills have got me through so far,
Criteria
TCP/IP socket connection
Flash package
XML commands load swf file in to a container
How do I prepare my Flash files and XML sheet to receive commands "any sample out there"?What about e.data,urlLoad ,xmlSocket Class, XMLCP/IP XML socket connection to load ?Is binary or XML method better for loading and reloading swf files?Do I need Red5 or a media server?
Based on the Kirupa Flash XML Gallery, I tried to expand it as far as I could. Right now, it loads the images, generates buttons dynamically according to how many images are in the XML que, and each image is hyperlinked. I want to load in a swf file dynamically via XML into an another empty movieclip everytime I go to a new image. In another words if I have 9 images in my gallery, each image is assigned a swf file to load into another empty movieclip.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to preload images for an image gallery ina flash movie.
i have the images externally loaded so as not to bloat the swf but how do i start a preload for all the images when someone gets to the home/front page, so that by the time they get to the image gallery everything is loaded in memory so there's no delay?
I am using CS4 with AS 3.0... I want to implement both a freeware photo flash gallery and mp3 audio player that I found into my all-Flash website. Both of these require reading from an xml file to get their content. They both come with html embedding instructions, but I don't know about actionscript.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a flash app where you click a movie clip (a picture frame) and a picture gallery pops up.Here is what I have so far. Click the Picture Frame movie clip and a shape tweens (for 24 frames) out to make the background for the gallery and I have a new key frame with a picture on it and left and right buttons. Then I have key frames following the first picture that just have images in them.At this point I use stop(); on that frame and stop the movieclip on the first picture. Now I'm trying to get the buttons to go forwards and backwards. It seems an easy enough task, I just can't figure out how to get the currentFrame and the totalFrames for my movie clip symbol.[code]I have also noticed that even when I replace the entire function with nextFrame (); it only restarts the movie clip symbol from the shape tween up to the first keyframe with a picture.

View 6 RepliesHow to load a movie[.swf] at the end of another movie[.swf] in AS3?
View 2 Replieshave a question about loading new photos into a already populated image gallery.So I have my gallery set up so first loads my stage pics. What I would now like to do is load different set of images via the click of a button.So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and the user can click on them to view the full size image. next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones.
View 1 RepliesI've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.
I am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.
i am trying to put some things together following the tutorials on this site. I did the tutorial 'Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash'and I followed it step by step and uploaded it with all the necessary files onto my remote server (xml file, Gallery folder, fla, swf, and html) - however, when I test the movie with flash, it seems to work fine (except the description test, my question to that later), but when I test it online it shows only the first image (but displays the correct number of images in the gallery); even when clicking the next button, it keeps loading the first image the first image. In other galleries (I use the structure for multiple galleries for my portfolio) the first image never loads at all.
Also, about the description text, in between the <caption> and </caption>, can I use <strong> and <em> and <br /> to change the appearance of my text? All it says is 'null'.If you want to look at what I mean check out my portfolio in the making. The problem with the first image displaying only is under 'paintings' and both the projects in 'design - packaging'. The second problem (no picture loading at all) is on some of the buttons in 'design - identity' (where I have not changed the description text of the tutorial yet).
Again,
url...the flash movie won't load in the first link and loads in the second link. any idea what is going on??i'm using .htaccess to redirect figures to figures.php.

View 2 RepliesI am building a flash website and on one of the pages you can play a shoot'em up game that I made using flash.
I am doing this by dragging the swf file into the flash website.This works but when the games is activated it does not work propably anymore in the new flash website..
I can't figure out why. The swf works fine on its own in a webpage and has been sitting on a website of mind for years with no probs.
i use the the following codes to load swf file onto "siteLoader"
siteLoader.loadMovie("abc.swf");
abc.swf has a stop(); at the first frame.i want to make it play, and i use --> siteLoader.play(); but it doesn't work.
I am doing a flash which with audio, the audio about 3-4 mins. But when i use another flash movie to load that flash mov with sound (using load movie function), cannot hear any voice. Why is it? The flash movie with sound is use actionscript to attach the sound, when i test the movie, it is work. When it comes to load from another movie, it doesn't work.
