I am new to flash and I created a gallery that loads the pictures from an xml file. I was wondering how I could create the links to each picture dynamically from the xml sheet in a seperate movieClip named "menu_mc".
View 5 RepliesI'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
View 1 RepliesI have a UI loader that loads pictures from a drop down selection. I would like the data to be cached after it is loaded, but it doesn't seem to be doing this. Every time someone selects something different in the drop down, the image reloads.

have this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:
Code:
<item title="ABOUT"content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf"target=""mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />
and I have this swf file with cms that I'd like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:
Code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);[code].....
but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.I tried using :
Code:
this._lockroot = true;
in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep .I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
I have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.Can someone point me to an answer or tell me how to do it? I have found a way in JavaScript but this only works on plain images, not swf files.

View 1 RepliesI'm have a flash file which loads an xml file sub.domain.com/data.xml. It loads fine when the swf is loaded from sub.domain.com but it does not load from [URL]..It's all the same directory on the webserver. I tried using crossdomain.xml and allowed access from *.sub.domain.com. Doesn't work.
Any idea what would work? besides using php to determine the current domain (www or not) and load in the path via flashvars.
[URL] Take a look at that website. See whe you rollover one of the pictures, the other pictures fade out...Well how can I do that? I've tried some swapDepths techniques but it gets a bit confusing.

View 5 RepliesI'm building a website in flash 8. I have significantly reduced the file size of my pictures for the website with Irvanfiew. (for instance a 75kb picture down to 24kb) the quality is good, but the shadow that Irfanview use is rubbish. If I import the picture AS IS without shadow and convert the picture into a movie and add a shadow, will that add a lot of kb's to my overall website?

View 3 RepliesGot a movie that loads some variables from an XML file. The content of each XML.node fills the corresponding dynamic (on the fly) recipients (mcs).
I know how to do this once, not using a for (loop) basic parser, so, I got stuck with this simple code while I was trying to "make it" with a "loop" parser.[code]The idea is to have 2 buttons that change the number of the array sothat I can access the next XML.node without having to write all the code again, neither the dynamic recipients -movie clips- nor the parser. Can't I make a function from all of these sothat I can call it later?
I am trying to figure out how to run a php file when a flash file is opened on a site or ran. the php file has no output or anything to do with the flash, it just needs to be run to update the mysql database. I need the script to be run from my site even if the flash is on another site, but i do not want to show that it is being run. I want it to be a hidden thing. Is there any way possible to do do this with flash?
View 2 RepliesFor some reason, gotoAndStop isn't working when I call it from either the main timeline of my main classes constructor. I'm guessing I need to call it once everything has loaded - but I don't what what event to fire it off on, besides a timer, which just seems bad.wrote this back when I still used the timeline and am trying not to have to rewrite it - it works, it's just hard to work on.
