ActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Photo Gallery That Loads Pics In As Swf's
Aug 6, 2003
I'm trying to make a photo gallery that loads the pics in as swf's, and was wondering if there was any way for flash to detect the number of files that are in a particular folder on website (also the names of those files).
I'm trying with the XML photo gallery presented in the [URL] tutorial. This is set up to display 1 picture at a time , but what if I want to display 2 pics next to each other, like in a table stucture with 1 row divided into 2 columns? How do I set up the XML to do something like that?
I am using the kirupa xml foto gallery and I am loading different sized images... if they would load nicely centered the problem is solved... (not to stage width/height..!!) The movieclip "picture" has to load the images centered from its own registration point so that it can be placed anywhere on the stage.... now its loads the images from aka left top...
What I want to do is to make a gallery based on the tutorial gallery here (thumbs), but I want the user to be able to choose different galleries from within the movie. I figured that I could make a loop to cycle through the galleries, then nest another loop inside it to cycle through the pics, captions and thumbs. While I wrote, I constantly tested the output with trace commands, but when I tried nesting the loop I lost all output.. I'm pretty new to both Flash and Actionscript, so if theres an obvious solution I havent been able to see it.. This is my temp XML file:
I've searched the forums as well as other areas of the internet to find a solution to this issue I'm having. I've managed to gather bits and pieces here and there and they have kind of came together to get me further than I expected. I've basically went about my own little way of trying to make a photo gallery using php and flash. So far I've made more progress than I figured I would, but I have ran into a few issues and I fear I may have to start over entirely.
What I've done is pieced together some php code to read the contents of a directory, it then writes them to a php file and assigns them each a variable name and finally assigns the number of photos in the directory to a variable name, it looks like this once the script is ran[code]...
i need to make a photo gallery were i can just duplicate the folder"vacation_photos" and then rename it something else and not have to change the path on every freakin photo and button.
I want to make a dynamic photo gallery. The layout will be a scrollable bar at the bottom with thumbnails and then when you click one, a big version of the picture in the main window. Pretty simple layout. But! I want it to be dynamic in the sense that follows;
I have a txt file that contains the number of photos in the folder (at the moment, there are 5). Flash reads that number, and inputs that into a for statement, which then gets the filename of each of the 5 files (p0, p1, p2, etc) and slaps a .jpg on the end. Its like this so that i can add files to the folder, change the number in the text file, and be done (no site maintenance required).
Now comes the problem. I want to be able to, within the for statement, load those files AND be able to resize them. What i'm doing now is putting an instance of the gallery itself on the stage (just an empty movie clip), and in the for statement I am adding a "thumb" movie clip into that gallery movie clip, and loading the image into that. Visually:
The problem is that I can't resize them. I've tried using the loadercontentinfo stuff, but when i do that, it messes up my for loop somehow. I could always make all of my thumbnail files that size anyways, but I am also hoping to maybe implement my creation here in the future so that I can give it to others who aren't tech savvy and having them be able to use it without any difficulty. Here is the code:
Code: //Create the URLLOader instance var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader() //the data will come as URL-encoded variables
[code]....
I took out the loaderinfo stuff because it didnt work. As it stands, this version actually does sucessfully load the images, but doesnt do anything to resize them.
I made a flash website for a non-profit organization and it needs to have a photo gallery inside of it. It needs to have 3 categories with about 20 pictures in each category; the pictures are of different sizes.
I'd like to make a gallery like this one: [URL] but I'm not sure how to do so while also having it be inside the main flash website also.
[URL] how to make a Flash Thumbnail Photo Gallery. I am designing a bigger photo gellery based on this code how do I have the photo gallery to list 2 rows of thumbs 5 accross and 2 rows. This code is the code that designs the thumbnail movie clip.
i download and try to modify a xml photo gallery from kirupa in this pagemake the buttons for "next" "back".... and one button that control the slide show, but i cant find how to activate the slide show and desactivate it.
so i wanna make a custom photo gallery for my work, and ive seen some that i like. however, i want to MAKE it myself and not download somebody's program that does it or whatever. i know i have the necessary knowledge to be able to follow a tutorial on it but i dont know how to do it myself, you know? anyways heres one that i like, if anybody knows of a tutorial that i can do this in please let me know. [URL] the important parts are that it needs to be updated with xml and have a scroller at the bottom with buttons, not a scrollbar.
I'm trying to make an image gallery that loads 3 photos at a time (look at .SWF). I have also built a function that resizes the photos to fit into its respective box once they're loaded (a maximum of 120x120 pixels). The images aren't getting resized, and they aren't getting re-loaded after the "forward" button is pressed the second (,third,fourth,etc...) time.
Please go to [URL] and click on the photo gallery link. Then click on any other link. The photo gallery stays on the page! how I can make it go away when clicking on other links? The actionscript for the photo album is on the last frame in the actions layer.
I've made an image gallery and it works great. What I want to do is make the main image a link to a certain part of the site. The first link works great, but then I get[url]...
Basically, I made an invisible button on each main image for the link.[code]...
I found this really neat photo gallery on flashkit but there is no support or readme included. Hoping one of you actionscript gurus can sort through the AS and how to size this thing.. the AS code does have comments but I am not a coder. I'd like to make the image window smaller and the overall movie smaller. 325x325 or so.
I'm trying to get some general info and be pointed in the right direction to make kinda like a photo gallery where they can be dragged, and moved around like several squire images that can overlap one another, and if you click an image that is under another image, it will come upfront..
I was wondering in the photo gallery thumbnail tutorial how do I make the thumbnails display vertically not horizontally. Also how do you add the picture caption underneath the thumbnail? [URL]
i want to create a photo album. i've created a folder and put pics inside the folder. is there any scripts that can import/call the pics(all are .jpg) to the stage while the projector(movie) is playing?
There are 3 pics each in FASHION SPORTS and BEAUTY catergory and 10 and 5 in ENTERTAINMENT and COVERS respectively. All is ok but when i click on FASHION or other categories having less pics the pics from the earlier categories ( e.g. ENTERTAINMENT ) wont leave the stage. Also the unLoadGallery() function is giving an error message that ' This code is making flash to run slower. Would you like to stop this script?'.
I downloaded a flash spread gallery [URL]which uses a xml file to designate the pics to be used. It is very cool but it is kind of a pain as I have to manually type each pic name in the xml file. Is there a way that I can modify either the xml or the fla to just pull the pics from a folder? Maybe two folders one for the pics and one for the thumbs?
I would like to just dump a bunch of pics in a folder and their thumbs in another and have it automatically just post them.Attached is the fla and the xml (and a .js file) zipped.flashmo_185_spread_gallery.flaflashmo_185_photo_list.zip
i have just posted an online photo gallery and its the kind that resizes to fit whatever photo you tell it to load. you can see it at URL...in anycase, my problem, is that for some reason when you try to load pics 018 - 030 they refuse to load, and i can't figure out why? URL...
