I have a coverflow designed and flash but I do not want it to auto resize my images and I want to import pngs instead of jpegs to through xml without having white show on image but im sure that's happening because of automatic resize.
View 0 RepliesI'm working on a project that involves choosing a random image from a directory, taking it, and displaying it.This works (roughly, not very nicely nor perfectly...) but the main problem is that the picture are too big for the stage, and I want to eliminate the need to resize every picture manually. I would like flash to do it for me. So I've been looking at other people's work and tutorials and have made this script:[code]Also -- can anyone tell me why it sometimes will display the same image twice or three times in a row?I can't see anything wrong with my script as to why it repeats an image!The variable that is in charge of that is "stored".To the best of my knowledge 'stored' is set to 999, which should force flash to run the conditions and pick a random number. Then, when it runs again, it should check if they are already equal, correct?
View 3 RepliesHas anyone come across any tutorials or components that can create the iTunes Coverflow effect BUT with movie clips instead of images. I want to use it to display survey questions and be able to interact with each 'page' if only in a limited way ie click a tick box to record a score.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with the CoverFlow library by Doug McCune.
In the example included, he has created some panels inside a CoverFlowContainer. There are other examples of him populating the coverflow from an RSS feed on the page linked above but he doesn't include the source for these :(
I will eventually be retrieving data from a web service to add to the coverflow however I'm starting with this simple example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" xmlns:containers="com.dougmccune.containers.*" creationComplete="init()">
[Code]....
I've defined some panels in the mxml and set creationComplete=init() so that the new panel I've created in ActionScript will be added to the CoverFlow container.
When I launch the application it displays the two predefined panels but not the one I have created in ActionScript.
I recently puchased the CoverFlow component from here, and it was a mistake. I assumed it loaded swfs for some reason, when it does not.
similar Component that can load swfs?
i just wanted to ask if anybody know where i could find a source code (fla) of a coverflow effect with an integrated zoom function (like this one or simpler: [URL]. i don't care if it's written in as2 or as3.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know of a site / tutorial / reference that shows how to do the coverflow image gallery using Flashvars without XML? I want to create something like this[url]...
..but everything I've found uses an XML file to feed in the variable and parameter information. I need to feed this info in using flashvars and javascript from the html file only. I've tried modifying the ones using XML on my own but it gets to be too confusing on how to change everything when so much information--usually all the variables AND animation effect parameters--are being called from the XML.
I am trying to find a menu to implement in the form of a coverflow. I have one accessible but flipping through the covers requires that I click covers, or use the scroll bar.
I am looking for one that will move left and right without requiring clicking. Dragging is probably acceptable. I have been sifting through the google search results, but it seems most coverflows are modeled the same. It doesn't need to be free, but if I could customize it via XML that'd be great.
I'm using flash coverflow from here [URL]. My XML contains a large amount of images which really slow the smoothness of the slideshow down as I have it autmatically scrolling through image by image. I was wondering if there is a way to preload the images from XML in as part of the general preloader? I've seen other threads on preloading from XML this way but I am not sure how to incorporate the code they suggest into the existing actionscript I have.

I've been asked to incorporate a cover flow into a project I'm working on. Although there are many components available I've been asked for it to loop round i.e. the slideshow has no left and right end, when the last item in the XML is reached it seamlessly keeps scrolling by going back to the start of the array. Does anyone know of a coverflow component with this function?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to edit this CoverFlow made in flash, however I do not have enough ActionScript / Flash knowledge to do what I need to do.
The CoveFlow currently uses a scroll-bar for navigation and a XML file for the images and text.
I have successfully been able to remove the scroll bar, but cannot build the buttons to replace it. From my understanding, I need flash to have a button variable stored, then detect how many CoverFlow slides there is in the XML file, assign and create a button for each slide. And then position the buttons bellow the image slides in a horizontal line.
As you can see the buttons needed are pretty basic, just blue circles. However the ActionScript modifications needed to achieve this are beyond my ability.
Also attached is a .zip with the CoverFlow files that I am having trouble modifying.

Here's a link to this awesome piece:[URL]Gotta stay AS2 for banner ad purposes. made the images display on a vertical axis?
Here's the AS2 code:

I'm attaching the file so that you guys can see that? pretty basic. My main problem is to find out how can the mouse check the mouse position on stage and make the coverflow animate and the movieclip change angle depending on the side, I have to animate only 5 itens, here?s the AS:

View 7 RepliesI'm having a bit of a problem here. As per the title, my flash swf file works fine when tested from the IDE, but when I publish it and open it through the browser, the stage doesn't seem to resize along with the window.I post below a bare-bones example. The "back" movie clip should resize, only it remains at the starting dimensions
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have Buttons which I have rotated vertically within a Canvas, that is working fine. The problem occurs, when the user resizes the window to a small size a vertical scroll bar appears, I would rather have each button squashed upto a smaller size.
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="40" maxWidth="40" xmlns:myComponents="myComponents.*"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off"

I'm having a little issue with the resize event and resize effect of a VBox.
I have something like this:

paddingTop="15"
paddingLeft="15"
[Code]...
I have a main movie here that loads in an external swf through a container mc. everything is aligned and positioned to where it should be, and they are also set to that value onresize. the problem is, when my swf is loaded in, it works fine and is in the right position, same when you resize it. BUT, if you resize the window before the swf is loaded, it misaligns, until you resize!!

View 5 RepliesI've been reading up on GC in AS3, I understand how it works now, and how I should go about things, nullifying all references, weak references, avoiding circular references etc (I tend to have circular references now I think about it).
How does the GC in AS2 work in comparison? How often is GC activated in both environments?
And is performance the reason that the AS3 GC has become less automatic and less frequent?
In AS2 presumably it's having to do far more scans and more frequently, thus being more of an overhead?
How does the delete keyword differ in AS3 compared to AS2? I know many people used null in AS2. I tended to use delete for onEnterFrame events and instances of classes no longer being used, then just remove for movieclips obviously.
I have a datagrid that occupies 100% of browser screen. I want the grid to automatically resize when the browser is resized to small or full screen.

give me any leads as to the methodology behind a flash feature that senses browser size and sizes itself accordingly.
