I was trying to use the photo gallery tutorial from this site the code was done by sbeener I wanted to use the same concept for adding external text for each image. So far I have only been able to figure out how to load the text but I have not figured out how to be able to change the text to correspond to the image.

Just trying to make a flash photo gallery that displays all the image files in a certain directory with the usual photo gallery functionality.
View 1 RepliesI've built a flash photo gallery that pulls image urls from an external XML file. The gallery has different image catagories that load their own set of images.The user decided which catatgory they'd like to view by clicking an HTML button in the flash movies parent page...using javascript, this button click sends a variable to the root level of the flash movies with the new XML location...
Trouble is, onces the initial XML file is loaded, the movie has no need to refresh (and read the newly sent variable) ...*Unfortunately the catagory buttons MUST be outside the movie on the page...
I've found this tutorial that I've played around with and it works out fine [URL], but I would like to add some descriptive text for the big image. How would I go about loading such a text from the xml file?
ActionScript Code:
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import caurina.transitions.*;
//---------loading the external xml file-------
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pics.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myXML:XML = new XML();

i am trying to add extra images to the photo gallery attached. I would have thought it is easy and it seems so. I add an extra image to the gallery. I publish it. The html file shows the extra image in the gallery but the swf doesnt. driving me crazy, cant work it out?
View 14 RepliesI am playing with the xml photo gallery tutorial and wanted to add the ability for users to click on a particular image and have it go to its own url.
This is what I have done so far:
in images.xml I have added a <link> child on the same node or level as <image> and <caption>
images.xml i.e.
Code:
<images>
<pic>
<image>image1.jpg</image>

It obviously does not work (the rest of the gallery does though) I created a dynamic movie clip and labeled it "link" and placed it on the stage as a bg element however I am pretty sure this is the wrong way to hyperlink the images and description.
I have a very nice picture gallery made in CS3 / AS3. I managed to personalize it and all. But, I have difficulty with (or no clue... actually), how to add a precious and next button to it(image).
This is the link for the zip file, containing all the neccesary files: [URL]
And in the attachment I pointed out where I prefer to have these two buttons.
I have made a photogallery in actionscript 3 which uses an .XML file to import pictures. As the user clicks on the displayed image the code loads the next image in the cycle into the display. Now, I would like to add a preloader which displays the loading progress of each image as the user clicks (otherwise there is just a blank area as the image loads). I have made a pre-loader for the main .SWF but I can't figure out how to make it work for the images or how to make a seperate one for the images. The fact is that I am a bit of a muppet when it comes to AS3, and am finding myself getting lost an confused quite easily.
I have attatched the .FLA if that helps any! If not then...
here is the link to the .HTML page that contains the .swf:

I've got a photo gallery that I'm working on it loads its content from an xml file... I would like to be able to display and play flv videos as well but I'm unsure what changes I will have to make. If I only change the xml I get the error " Loaded file is an unknown type."
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Loader;

I was wondering how I could add sound to a gallery that is driven by xml.I have a gallery that loads the picture, Title and description. the gallery is downloadable here.The regular gallery loads a web page when the picture is clicked. I am trying to make each picture load a different mp3.I have the general Idea of how it would be done but I don't know how put it to actionscript.I figured you would basically create a sound object that loads the specific mp3 from the xml file when the picture is clicked from the gallery.I think I might have some what of the idea right but I get an error everytime I load the swf file.
"ArgumentError: Error #2068: Invalid sound.
at flash.media::Sound/play()

How can i fix the ImageHolder (Movie Clip size) that holds the images loaded into it. At the moment I have sized the photos to the size I want, but if a photo is not that "Specific" size it will overlap my text next to it... How can I fix the size of this movie clip to show the images without it blowing out my design? I have sized all the images to: 230px x145px If they are not this size the design will not work, I need to fix the window to 230px x145px
View 1 RepliesI have an external swf which is a basic (very) photo gallery. When I load this external swf into the main swf container it only displays the first image although it goes through the motions of getting the next image - only to again display the first image. In desperation I have put the swf, images and xml into the same directory as the container but no luck.... Run separately it does what it's supposed to.
View 6 RepliesI have done a photo gallery using the following code. However, I need the first picture to appear as the movieclip is loaded. What shall I introduce to this script? Or what would I have to change?
myPhoto = new XML();

myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
//portfolioTag = this.firstChild;

I used the Photo Gallery using xml and Flash tutorial and created a nice gallery with thumbnails I increased the size to accommodate a 800x533px size picture however when the images are imported they are distorted to a size that looks to be around 900x400px I am using flash 8.
View 1 RepliesI am loading an external swf photo gallery.Right now I am using a preloader to show up before the external swf is loaded. The preloader is in my main file.My problem is this - once the external swf is loaded, it still takes a couple of seconds before my photo gallery shows up.How can I avoid using 2 preloaders (one in my main file and one in the external swf)
View 1 RepliesI am loading a photo gallery as an external swf.So I have a preloader for the ext swf that loads.Then there is a 3 - 4 second delay before the % preloader for the photo gallery starts to load.I'm loading it via xml - is it taking 3 - 4 seconds to read the xml page before the image starts to load?
View 6 RepliesI have a photo gallery on my site that is generated using AS3 and XML. Everything works great but I'd like to have the images that relate to the first thumbnail appear automatically when the movie loads.

I learned from great kirupa tutorial and implemented the thumbnail gallery in my site.If I open the site in browser Opera or Firefox (FP 8.0.0.447) i see only 1 thumbnail image - is it bug in Player? In IE 6 I have FP 7.0.19.0 and I can see all thumbnails in the navigation bar - also correct.
View 8 RepliesI've been working with the xml photo gallery tutorial on this site, and pretty much have it the way I want, except I am having some serious issues with the image sizes and quality, and cannot figure this one out.. The problem is that when the jpg images are loaded in dynamically they look horrible in quality. I searched and searched for an answer to this and couldn't really find anything that I had already tried... The only thing I could really think of was to rebuild my site at a larger scale and publish with 'match movie' instead of 'percent'.
After all that work... I'm having something very crazy going on, but it should help diagnose the problem.. When I rebuilt the site and re-did the images to match the exact pixels, for some reason now they are super big. I've looked at my code and can't see any scaling going on.. I don't know what is happening, so I'm going to supply all available resources:

This script loads the images dynamically using xml so getting the size of the image to use as a start provides to be a problem, since there is no image to begin with.I found script to be able to scale an image with the stage here:But this only works on a image that is already in the flash file, not one that is loaded dynamically like I'm doing with xml.

I'm doing photo gallery and like to enlarge an image when I click on it with some animation like it's in flash (the picture slowly expands first by x-axis and after by y-axis and the space around the picture dims), that it scales to it's largest possible size to fit in screen, but it can be any other animation. I found some topics about this, but I don't want to use any 3rd-party plugin (including flash, drupal...) to do it. Maybe it can be somehow done by jQuery...

View 2 RepliesI have just started using flash. I needed to do this presentation for a client. In one scene I have provided him with a photo-gallery, where some 30 photos are placed randomly ...when playing the movie (published as projector) user will click any photo to watch it. For this I have used swapdepth so that photo, user clicks comes to front. Also applied drag to all these photos.
My code look something like this:
on (press, dragOver) {
startDrag(_root.pic6);
} on (release, rollOut, dragOut) {
stopDrag();
} on (press, release, dragOver, dragOut) {
_root.x +=2;
_root.pic6.swapDepths(_root.x);
}
For doing this first I converted the photo to button ...then converted this button to a movie clip and gave a instance name to this. Then I went into the movie clip and applied the above code to the button placed inside the movie. Applying all this to all photos I placed them randomly on timeline. The problem is : code is working fine, it is dragging photos, bringing them to front etc. But I have user to go back and play another scene to continue the presentation. Problem starts here, the last photo clicked by user remains there, even though it is not present in that scene.
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.
View 10 RepliesI modified a version of the xml photo gallery tutorial featured on this website, and am using that. But when my images pop up the quality is horrible. I've gone through and checked everything I know to look at. Then I decided to build my flash site twice as big, and use pictures that were twice as big to get some quality. This didn't work either..
View 4 RepliesI Managed to insert a photo gallery using lightbox...however, would like to make some changes:
1. Fixed previous and next buttons, been playing around with the code, with no successful result.
2. I have a group of photos, and if I want to enlarge the one I click, I cannot. Whatever photo I click, always the first one of the group appears.
This is the code I have in my html file:
HTML Code:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script src="js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I've used kirupa's 'Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash' tutorial & modified to make my gallery, you can view it here: ZedMedia.org by clicking on the photos section in the main page. what i want to do is, instead of reaching the end of all my photos and it stopping, i want it to go back to the beginning image & start all over again. i want the opposite to appen at the start. when the previous_btn is pressed i want it to go to the end of the gallery.
View 3 RepliesI am using a mx:Resize effect to change the width of an image in Flex (leaving the height to look after itself) but I want the image to remain vertically centered on the page. Whilst I could calculate the aspect ratio of the photo, and work out the new y value to keep it centred, I would have to include a mx: Move effect too, and I am hopful that Flex has a simpler way. This is for a photo gallery where images are loaded at run-time, and swapped about.
So I really would like to avoid recalculating the aspect ratio and vertical position every time the updateComplete event fires, I tried putting my image inside a mx: VBox with verticalAlign="middle", thinking that the box would do all the centering for me, but this only seems to happen when the app first starts - i need it to gradually adjust the position during the period where the effect plays (to keep it central even when part-way through).
Here's a stripped-down example (which doesn't work):
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="[URL]" layout="absolute" width="600" height="600">
<mx:Resize id="fxResize" target="{imgPhotoA}" widthTo="350" duration="500" />
<mx:Button x="10" y="10" label="Resize" click="fxResize.play()" />
<mx:VBox id="boxPhotoA" x="100" y="20" height="500" width="350" verticalAlign="middle" borderStyle="solid" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
<mx:Image id="imgPhotoA" width="60" maintainAspectRatio="true" source="[URL]"/>
</mx:VBox></mx:Application>
