View 4 RepliesMaking a photo slideshow to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed. Here is a link to the .swf file: [URL]. There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear! I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other. When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.

View 1 RepliesI'm looking to create a slideshow that needs to automatically advance, with each slide having 2 pictures and a short text description, each which would be unique for each slide. The file name for the pictures and description are contained in this xml, currently my XML file has the tags in the format <pic1> location.jpg </pic1>, each grouped for the slide they both need to be on.
View 2 RepliesPreviously I've done all the monkeywork by hand on the timeline, but now I need to make an automated slideshow for an image portfolio that collects pictures from an external folder (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc...) so I can just upload variants of the image without having to change the flash file each time.
I'm also hoping to include fading transitions and an easy way to change the amount of time each image is on screen.
this is my code for photogallery.there will be 61 images loaded in this array.how can i make an AUTO button which will make a slideshow,showing all the images in array?

I am trying to create a very basic slide show of images that automatically revolves every 4 seconds. everything works fine but for a short time. After 2 cycles the images start to show up out of order, in less than 4 seconds and single images may repeat instead of playing the next image.

I am trying to build a flash slideshow that uses XML to call up images and text captions. I 've found a good example of what I am looking for on macromedia's website.found here: http:[url]...
I would like to add the ability to fade between images and have a button that creates a larger jpg version in a popup window for whatever image is being displayed as current in the slideshow.Would I need 2 XML files for this or can I just use one? I prefer one. Sorry I am quite new to XML, this is my first foray into it.I can build this thing w/o XML, but it seems to be so much easier if I did it with XML.
I'm making a presentation and want to make the text of the slides appear on command.This is what I wrote on the actions layer.
1.) First frame
bg_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSlide);
bg_mc.buttonMode = true;
function playSlide(event:Event):void[code]........
On the actions layer there's a stop "stop();" before each new layer starts. But it doesn't work. I tried to paste the code in any order but still nothing. I works on a sample fla file I got.
Flash slideshow by getting it to preload the next photo (from a folder of numbered jpgs) when the current photo is done loading, but I can't quite get it worked out and I'm not sure what I'm missing... What I thought I might try is to have two movie clips to hold photos, one on the stage and one off the stage.
I would load the current photo into the movie clip on the stage(pictures.slides) and when that finishes I would load the next photo in the movie clip off the stage (pictures.preloadNextPhoto) so that it would already download the image and would load faster when the user clicks "Next". It doesn't work. I won't load the whole script in here, but this is the movieloader function with the meat of the functionality:

View 2 RepliesI really like this automated slide show tutorial using xml. However, I'm looking for help on why when using a modem connection the file loads the first image and stalls (out of the box, no modifications to the file at this point). I refresh the screen and it starts over and loads the first image and then the second image and stalls again. This stall occurs for each subsequent image until all images are loaded. I did try adding a preloader function in the fla file ... I tired loading the images using a JavaScript array in the body of the html page.
I read all the optimization help file information and help on publishing settings. I tried various published settings with compression, with compression. Tried different fps settings etc. I'm using MX. Downloaded trial versions of MX 2004 and MX 2004 Professional and still not working, as I would like it to on dialups.I have a similar version that is dynamically loading images but is using text files to load the variables. I am very interesting in this one because is uses xml. I tried clipping out the xml code and used it in my other file and I get the same result.
I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.
I need to create a photo slideshow which runs automatically (I don't want any "back" or "next" buttons - there is to be no user interface), with the photos fading in and out, one after the other, and music in the background.
I have external .jpg files that I need to have load, one after the other, into their own movie clips (I have 5 different movie clips which I would like to alternate between my .jpgs) and stay on the stage for a set amount of time (3 seconds for some, 5 seconds for some, etc.).
I figured out how to get 1 image to load into a movie clip with the below code:
var image:Loader = new Loader ();
image.load( new URLRequest ("pic1.jpg"));
blankMC.addChild (image);
However I don't know the code to force this movie clip to only play for a set amount of time, and, unload from the stage, and then load a new movieclip.
if not, is there a way for me to accomplish this without using XML (which I have no clue how to do . . .)
On the main page will be a Slide show of 8 pictures. I would like a next and previous button on each side of the picture.Also I would like it, to where, when you click the picture, it would take you the the page the picture is at on my flash site.. So like page "Chris_Portfolio"

View 3 RepliesI've spend two days searching this forum, to find an example on how to makea XML image gallery "like the kirupa one" but with an adittional feature...with no success.I'm looking for a gallery setup that offers you an option to inlcude extra photos' per image..For example:image one can contain 1-5 extra pictures, which can be seen either viadynamicly attached numbers 12345above the picture or even bettera "play/pause project" button which will show the extra pictures of that same project...a kind of slideshow within a slidehow..with captions/fades ...the whole deal.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to modify Kirupa's xml photo slideshow by adding an extra text field, which if I understand correctly gives each element 3 children (image+text1+text2) instead of 2 (image+text). Even though I've added the third child correctly in the xml, I can't seem to get it to work at all. Here is what I did with the actionscript:
delay = 10000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
[code]....
I've highlighted the parts I've added to the code provided by kirupa's tutorial. sub_text is the instance name I give to the new text field in Flash.
I downloaded the sample file of making slide photos, but I just can't make it run and load pictures automatically and loop itself continuously. How do I do it without have to hit next or previous? And all done with action scripting only without using keyframes? [URL]

View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying to beef up one of the websites I run, and make a better image slideshow for the gallery page. Currently... I have this page for my own website, with the lightbox effect installed correctly. The effect is very nice:When you click on an image, it loads it into focus on top of the page. This is also possible using flash.. using lightbox++. I hope one of you knows of this My question to you is... I want a page that loads the pictures via an xml file, and have the thumbs loaded, and each of those thumbs setup to load the full size version when you click on it.
