ActionScript 2.0 :: Thumbnail Button Loaded From Xml?
Sep 18, 2010
I am fairly new to flash action script and I am having a problem with a project I am working on. The problem is as follows. I am trying to create a table of thumbnail pictures from an xml. I have made the table load from from the file though when the items are created the first thumb has the background and text field though all others are missing this. I have tried making a clip inside the thumbnail clip thats called "thumbnail_image" though that didn't work. I also want to be able to click the thumb and have it go to the corresponding url from "curl[]". I just can't work it out. At the moment it will only go to the last url added in the array

I have found out that I can not use loaderInfo.getBytesLoaded in as3. I have a gallery located here: [URL]the functionality is almost complete, but my gallery still has issues loading all the thumbnails. It seems that sometimes they wont load while sometimes they do. I have split my thumbnail process into:
LoadThumbs: Loads the thumbs
Callthumbs:Arranges the thumbs
Each function is called once per thumbnail. My problem is that I can not find the bytes loaded information for the thumbnail as it loads. Event completion and preloaders dont seem to help. I doubt it's my alpha tween because the thumbs are un click-able when they are not there. This is the info for my function, with the comments indicating the parts that bring up errors.
Code:
function loadThumbs()
{
x_counter = 0;
y_counter = 0;
[code]...
How do I get the loaded info of each thumb as it loads? Do i need to make a new class file?

I am busy working on a xml driven photo gallery where the number buttons for each picture are generated dynamically ie) 6 xml nodes....6 buttons generated labelled 1-6 and everything is working fine. I want to have a thumbnail hover state appear when I roll over each of the buttons. I have a static thumbnail which loads in the thumb_path, however I cant seem to get this to work when you hover over the buttons...the function menu() is what generates the buttons: Can anyone shed some light on what would be the best way to create a thumbnail preview for the buttons? I have attached a preview of the gallery as well.

That said, I would like to alter some of the code to allow the thumbnail scrollbar to begin scrolling once the page has loaded. Here is what the code looks like as it is right now.

I have made a image-viewer. I've this AS for the viewer:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function loadXML(loaded) {[code].....
Now i would like to make a loop for the thumbnails so they don't have a beginning or end(Now when i scroll to the right the thumbnails stop at the last thumbnail, i want it to begin at the first thumb again).I'm also trying to make that the middle thumbnail represents the photo in target_mc.

I would like to start out by saying I am very new at this and am working on a portfolio website in flash CS4 and currentlyhrough the tutorials over at Now my problem is In the portfolio section I want a preview of the pics like a thumbnail on the bottom with a scroll bar to scroll through them all, but at the same time I would like to have buttons to navigate through these photos at the same time. I have got it to work, the only problem is let say i'm using the buttons to navigate through but then stop and go to the scroll bar on the bottom and click on one three of four pictures in front of where I left off, The image loads and everything is fine but when I go back to the buttons it continues off from where it last left off not where I clicked on the scroll bar.Here is the code that I currently have:
myscrollpane.source=allthumbnails;
//load the thumbnails...
var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I am making a gallery, which you can view here:[URL]ok, firstly, when you click a thumbnail, you cannot scroll them until you roll off the click thumbnail, and I'm not sure why. is it just a movieclip thing? or can I put some code in to re-get focus of something? ok, now for the two general questions:
1. When you roll over the thumbs, they go up, sometimes they flick back down though, even though you are rolled over them still. is this just because they are moving?
2. Does anyone know why when I add this:

I click on the thumbnail> +> Movieclip> goto and play at frame or label> and put in the label I've used for the frame (F15) and then when I test the movie nothing happens when I click on the thumbnail. Can someone help me? I'm dyin' here.

In the project I am working on I am trying to get a button 'menu button' from the library to appear on rollover within a dynamically created thumbnail mc. So basically when you roll over any one of the thumbs a button appears that can be clicked. I have tried to directly attach the button and also tried to create an empty clip in side the thumb and then attach the button to this empty clip. With this second method I can trace the empty clip though still can't get the button to attach.
Code:
currentThumbs.onRollOver = function() {
v = this.createEmptyMovieClip("ButtonContainer", 0); /// ButtonContainer can be traced
v.attachMovie("menu button", "downloadBut"+this.numb, this.getNextHighestDepth());
v["downloadBut"+this.numb].label_txt.text = "Download";
v["downloadBut"+this.numb]._x = 5;
v["downloadBut"+this.numb]._y = 5;
};
I know the 'menu button' works as it is used in other menus within the file though I can't get it to attach to the thumbs. So you know this.numb is working as well. It is created in another part of the code. I can upload the files if needed though it is a rather complex project including several xmls and loads of jpgs.

Im trying to create via xml and a for() loop a thumbnails wiewer and each thumbnail have a simple onrelease function.....but my probleme is that my 'container' movieClip and 'BT' movieClip dont show when I export the movie...also when i trace()them the output is empty. maybe is because they are inside x.onLoad(xml){} function ? At the end of the script you can remove // before the trace() function for ckecking in the output panel. here is my code:
xml file: TumbLoader.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><slideshow><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/1.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/2.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/3.jpg" /><photos[code]...

I've been trying to do is to move a string of thumbnails - thumbHolder_mc - incrementally (like every 386 pixels) left and right, controling it with arrow buttons. Code below works like a charm EXCEPT when I try to stop the tween motion on either end.
I tried everything - _visible = false, enabled = false, delete function, etc etc, nothing works. In the my script below, buttons get disabled, but never recover. Function never comes "back to life", which is what I thought it was supposed to do:

I've used the XML connector to use an xml file to populate amenu>submenu> thumbnail image flash application. Everythingworks except that I'd like the last step to be that the user clickson the dynamically generated thumbnail image to open acorresponding pdf. I'm using the Loader component to generate thethumbnail. Essentially, I want to turn that image into a buttonthat launches a pdf.

I've been working on the XML Thumbnail gallery tutorial posted up and I wanted to know if it's possible to make a complex rollover effect on an xml button? For example I would like to make this character { rotated 180 degrees above the button as a person highlights the button. How would I go about that.

Yes, I'm making a photo gallery like everyone else. I'm making it so people can order pics from the site. There are going to be about 500 photos per album in 5 different categories. The photos can be shrunk down to about 60kb a piece. If I use the actual pictures as thumbnails, just scaled down, the total size of all the pics will be about 30mb. I know this is a lot.
Either way, the people looking at the album will most likely look at nearly all the pics so they will be using up bandwidth either way. Plus, if I use the actual pics as thumbs the user will not have to wait to see actual pic when it's clicked on because it's already loaded. A preloader is annoying to me. I do realize a preloader would be wise when loading the thumbs. Just dislike them after you click one for the big picture.
So is using shrunken thumbs a necessity or if the big pic is under a certain size it shouldn't matter if I use it for a thumb also?

how to call a button. I have a main file ("AS3Build.fla"), which imports an xml file, and imports different swfs depending on which node in the xml is being referenced. One of the swfs("slide_01_03.swf") I'm importing has a button("btn_01_01") that I'm having trouble accessing. First of should the script for the button be in the swf that holds the button, or the main file that will be importing the swf? I've got it in the swf currently with a trace file to see if it's recognizing the click. So far not luck. So I'm starting to think it should be in the main fla, and be referenced something like: this.loader.addEventListener.btn_01_01. This doesn't seem to work either though.

making a button visable after a swf has loaded but not a flv. I am preloading an flv, well 20secs of it, then it starts playing. But I have a 'play' button on the stage and it sits there tempting people to hit it whilst the preloading bar works its magic preloading the flv. I want the button to be visable only after the flv has loaded or at least until it starts to play.

I am trying out an AS2 xml image gallery from a tutorial online (code attached). I have also found out how to add a button to the stage that takes the SWF-movie into true full screen (code also attached).
But the problem is that the images from the xml are placing themselves above the button so that the button can't be seen or used. I would of course like to overlay the button on top of the loaded images.
I thought that putting the button on a new layer above the first layer with the AS2 xml image gallery code would do the trick, but it did not.
How can I specify that the button should be "always on top"?

I have a movie called crime_scene.swf that is loaded onto another swf.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myContainer", 1);

mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)

It seems like it's not working. I tried just myContainer.evi_1.onRelease and _level1.evi_1 but nothing seems to work.

I'm loading an external SWF file to a container MovieClip (adding it as a child), but have the need to create a button over the loaded SWF.The external SWF should still respond to MouseOver events like it used to.
I tried adding the AS3 created button to the container MovieClip, but it wasn't visible anywhere (the position was right in the middle of the container). Obviously, the SWF shadowed it.

I'm a designer struggling to learn advanced actionscript. It's quite a challenge,
One of the challenge i'm having right now is: I have my main timeline(swf). i'm loading in 2 separate swfs into two separate holders on the main stage/timeline/swf. whatever it's normally called. One of the loaded swfs is a menu and the other is a page. Basically i'm designing a learning application. The menu alllows you to jump to a specific place in the course rather than a next button of sorts which is also in the course.
When a different page is loaded i need for a button(movieclip) that's located in the menu swf to swith out with a new button that's located off the stage somewhere.(these buttons are located in the menu swf off stage) so i need the loaded page swf, to talk to the other loaded swf(menu) everytime it or another page is loaded. I've seen simular references to having a loaded swf talk to the main timeline swf but i haven't been able to find a reference for two loaded swfs thats loaded inside holders, to talk to each other.

Plain and simple, I have a button that does not work if it exists on a layer below a loaded SWF. If I drag the button layer up above the layer where the eternal SWF is loading into and publish, the button works fine, yet if the button is below the layer that the clip is loading into it does not work at all, even when no content appears over the button. There is no button at all in the loaded clip that would interfere...

I want to dynamically create button from image(s). So basically I have 4 images (on local disk) for 4 different button states (up, down, over, hit area), and X and Y coordinates where the button must be created. I want to create button on given coordinates, load these images and use as them button states (then I know how to add click event listener with addEventListener()). I have very basic knowledge in ActionScript, e.g. I can use gotoAndStop(), addEventListener(), etc. but I'm not proficient enough for advanced tasks.
