I've found a slideshow online and have been able to modify it to my needs, but I've struck a wall when it comes to centering. I figured out how to center all the images no matter their dimensions:

I have a xml slideshow that is working fine. The problem I am having is all of the images load in at x=0 and y=0. I would like to have the images load at a specific x coodinate and y coordinate on the stage. I have been looking at other code examples to see how to fit this in to mine but I keep breaking it.
Here is my code:

I'm trying to customize the flash slide show from the "Slideshow Using XML and Flash" tutorial and have a question when it comes to centering the images.
My pictures are all either 210px wide or 160px high and the area where the pictures are to be displayed is 210x160. The pictures are down-scaled versions of bigger pictures with different size, meaning that some could be 210x160 while others may be 90x160 or 210x40.
The problem here is that each picture is loaded at the same position (x,y) as globally defined (I've adjusted this to top left by setting x=0 and y=0 in the actionscript part). This obviously doesn't look to good for a picture that is 210x50 as it does for a image which is 210x160 and fills the entire display area.
So, is there any way to center the pictures when they're loaded?
I'm trying to open a new browser window with center positioning and a size of w=725 and height=600 with a scrollbar. I'd like to be able to click the button from the flash site and open another site in this window. What is the best way to do this using AS2? I found this script on the adobe site but haven't been able to get it to work with the on (press):
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.adobe.com','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar =no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
But also this doesn't address the position on the screen where the window opens. In the AS1 it seem to work ok with something like openWinCentre.
when I create a textfield and use the centering property in the following way, I position it at x=0... but the middle of the text isn't at zero; seemingly the left border of a large... area of some sort is at x=0.

i have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a flash project right now with the help of the tutorials found on this website and decided to use and modify this existing slideshow by Kirupa.
[URL]
What I did was, I resized it according to my projects demands, which is 1024x650 [URL]Everything is working perfectly except for one drawback.
Some of my images are sized 440x650. Normally, when I link that to the XML file provided, it is aligned by default to the left. My current solution was to resize the entire file into 1024x650 creating the illusion that the image is at the center because I included the seamless background on the saved jpeg.My question is this, is there any way I can center the 440x650 image to be displayed in the slideshow?
Kirupa's original code is this one:

The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

it is an advertising movie and the images get from the XML file. In flash have an white frame and put the image in frame, one frame one image. If have 3 images, have too 3 frames however the frame is greater than the image, the image have 100px vs 90px maximums. but if the image no have this px, for exemple, 100x80, 10px of the bottom frame was showing. The images not is centred whith the frame. I not understand flash and my friend can't help me now. how center the images whith the frame?

This project uses an XML list for images and text so these elements are loaded dynamically into movieclips.
The problem is that the main images align to top left of the movieclip container that is created for them.
I have been trying to get the images to center to the container div, but no luck.[url]...
In canvas, I have the code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// Make canvas dynamically resize to whatever is loaded in imageClip clip and width and height matches (and only when ttally loaded )

i have been looking on tremendous amount of code from several xml based image galleries but couldn't find out the right trick for the job.my knowledge at xml and actionscript is basic which might be the trouble understanding how to do it correctly.Anyway, i'm trying to load photos from an xml file to an array. Then attach the code to the thumbnails i created directly (couldn't figure out how to make them dynamic) so they load the big picture to the center of the stage. i was able to do this but the images loaded to the left corner of the mc all the time. I also need a next and previous button to loop through the images.I saw different approaches to this problem, but got confused on what's the right way to do this

I am working on creating a website that has 4 large images in the center of the stage and I was trying to load them using XML. I have a pre-loader to detect how much of the flash site was loaded then once it's loaded it continues onto the main content. My problem is that it goes to the main content before the images are actually loaded and I'm not sure how to make sure that the content is loaded before moving on from the preloader.
View 1 RepliesI have several images that are loaded dynamic.Now I want them to center in the container.How is that done? I can get the width and height but I can't adjust the x values on the loaderinfo object. Heres part of the code:

var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();[code].......
I have an actionscript that loads images for a slideshow. The images are different sizes and overlays in the slideshow top left justified. I would like to center the images. Below is the actionscript. What do I need to add to it and where?

I am editing an XML gallery and I have some questions..I wonder how I can position my images in the center of the screen. The images are all the same size (800x600) and I need them to display in the center of the screen.I played around with the code and I found out that when I change the Width and Height, the images starts to move (finally)... But it's very hard to find the correct position, so how can I just get it to the horizontal en vertical center of the screen/file?
Here's what the code looks like:
Code:
<gallery dir="Photos/">
<img id='0' align="center" file="foodcongres2009_1.jpg" width='1024' height='768'>
Test foto nummer 1
</img>
[code].....
And next... I have just two arrows (left, right), but when I click on the left one (previous), it goes to the next image instead of the previous one.. How about that?
The issue i am having is when an image is loaded it always appears on the left handside attached to the top left point of the stage they are all different size images. Is there anyway i can get these images to load in the centre of the stage? This is the AS that is attached to my flash document.
ActionScript Code:
function initGallery()
{

I have a function that I use to load images. I center align the images after loading by using loadClip() and attaching the function that centering to the onLoadInit event. The problem I'm having is that the centering stop working when I upload the flash movie to a webserver. I was also able to replicate this when I Test the movie and then go to View->Simulate Download.
Here is the function in question:
Code:
Select allfunction displayImage( img ) {
// trace('displayImage()');
// lets mave the container invisible before loading the clip
_root.mcLargePhoto.centerPhoto._alpha = 0;
_root.mcLargePhoto.createEmptyMovieClip("centerPhoto",this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
// trace('onLoadInit()');

I have built a gallery similar to the one found on Kirupa with a siding thumbnail gallery that references xml. Everything works great except that the images I want to load at their large size vary in width so when they load referencing the upper left hand corner they are not centered. I would like to load them so that each image in centered in the "picture" image area. I created a new movie clip and gave it the instance name of "picture" and center justified it but the images now load with THEIR upper left corner in the center of the "picture" image area. do I have to add code to the xml? is there anything I can ad to th AS to load pictures centered?

I have created a flash animation using tutorial on [URL] The problem I am facing is my images are of different size, so how to display images in center.
I have used this code, it displays images in center in IE but in firefox it displays half image
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
picture._x = (Stage.width/2) - (picture._width/2);
picture._y = 40;
}
If you look at my Flash file "Grid.fla" (again see attached files) you'll see a group of 14 images which are loaded from an XML file ("Grid.xml") and when the user rolls their mouse over an image it uses the Tweener library to animate the image into its full size.
The problem is I need the images to animate into the center of the screen - see an example of what I'm trying to achieve by opening the SWF file within the attached ZIP called "StormGallery.swf".
But I have no idea how to do add this type of animation into my "Grid.fla" file!
This seems like it should be part of the "Adding Thumbnails" - the large images are align to the left when they load. So when you have landscape and portrait orientation images, they should horizontally align to center, not to the left.

I tried putting in an array but it caused all kinds of errors.
