ActionScript 2.0 :: Not All Photos Load In Flash Slideshow?
Feb 14, 2005
I 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?
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below
var randomNum = 0;
var randomNumLast = 0;

Here is the script: // set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below var randomNum = 0; var randomNumLast = 0; // parent container var container_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0); [Code] .....
How would someone go about getting the actionscript to look for another field in the xml file that had a Url link to a webpage for each image that would be activated by clicking on that particular image.
I keep battling the slideshow, and now I have some other doubts. I tried to find the answer to this on other threads on this forum, but couldnïż½t find anything. So, here it goes:I now have a photo slideshow where one photo fades out, and the next one follows, fading in.Between the fade out and fade in, there is a short interval of white, the background of the flash animation. I have to replace this white interval, with the fadeout of the previous image, so that the first and the next image sort of merge. How can I do this?lso, on the very last image of the presentation, there is a jump back to the first image, without the fadeout. How can the loop be made so that the last image fades out too, and not simply disappear?Here is the code Im using right now:
I am building a simple photo slideshow and I need to create a way for the client to remove and add photos to it (w/o opening and editing the .fla). Can this be done with XML? Where I use a small line of script to call a series of photos according to the numbers appended to the photo file names.
The photographer at this site [URL] wants me to modify the slideshow on the home page. He wants to replace some of the old photos with new ones. Can I do this with Adobe Flash CS3? If so, please point me to tutorials that will get me up to speed. Or maybe it's too difficult for a Flash newbie?

I am very new to flash CS4. I am preparing to develop a simple photo slideshow, set to music (3 minute song), with three buttons containing pull down menus which will link to pdf files. This is a project I have taken on to develop an informational CD for the High School I work at.
Here is my question: When building a photo slidshow with 35-40 photos what is the best practice? Is it to place them all on one layer, or each on its own layer? Also I did see the set interval method from tutvid placing the photos in frames next to each other.
I am designing a slideshow comprised of photos, video and some animations. I decided to use Flash because I thought it would offer me more flexibility than other options and because I have some experience coding in ActionScript 2.0 (though oddly very little experience designing swf's).
Here's the thing. In frame 1 I want a video to play. I can make that happen using this code, copied straight from the help:
I'd like to create a banner for my website using a slidshow but I'd like for the photo's that are displayed to be daylight images during the daytime and nightime images during the evening hours from the viewers perspective. These images will, of course, be outdoor pictures, but I cannot seem to figure out how to select the picture elements to display based on the users time shown on their computer.
I have a slideshow and photogallery that I want to put on a CD and give out at tradeshows. The user can manually view the photos in each section or "play all". Right now all of the photos and text are listed in an XML file on a server. I don't want the info to be pulled from my server when someone plays the CD. Does the XML in the actionscript have to be a direct path [URL]? or can I store the XML files on my cd have have the info pulled from there?
I want to display photos and load them dynamically.What I have this much done and normally I would just manually add the URL to each button (boring and tedious) and I am learning to import variables and images and all of that...I want to be able to click the thumb to see the actual image:
Main Stage: code: onClipEvent(load){ _xscale=1000;
I have a slide show of either videos or photos. I want the user to be able to click a play button and the video plays or click an arrow and go through a group of photos. The thing that is getting me is the dynamic file loading. I want the user to drop photos or video into a folder and the flash projector file loads them automatically. I don't want naming to be a concern. How would one go about doing this? My intention is to have the user never enter Flash CS3.
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.
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 +
I'm working on making a site with an xml photo gallery with thumbnails. Right now, I have the gallery working, but I want to add an effect from this site: [URL] When the photos load, the layout resizes according to the photo size. How can I do something like this?
i sort of asked this before but never got a clear responce to it. this is sort of a two part question. one i have a dynamic gallery of images with a small picture that you click on that loads a bigger picture. I would love to be able to just have one photo that loads into the bigger mc and also the small mc. right now what i am doing is making two size photos a small 47x47 and a large141x141. does anyone know how i can use the same photo for both mc's second question. if that works will it make the small photos take forever to load since their sorce is a large photo?
I 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
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.
make 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'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?
