View 2 Repliesi got a problem with a nice skew function From Ericlin of URL...[code]i have prepared a small and plain .fla for you so you can check it out right here, its also attached to the posting (Flash MX 2004 File but should be ok for earlier versions?):url...while the borders of isometric walls are still exactly vertical (90 deg) the function is producing lines which are very slightly skew. might be something like 90.1 deg... but this inaccurancy produces ugly gaps between walls i put together later.This function is maybe not accurate enough, maybe to accurate, i am not sure. But i need probably some rounding in there but i dont know where, really (is that a wonder? look at the script! ;))when you zoom in and look at the "orientation bar" (thick dark blue bar), you will notice that there is a very small gap on the top right corner but its bigger on the bottom right corner of the wall texture.

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:

We bought this Flash template to save time:to make this siteI knew a template would limit us (especially since I only know HTML/a little CSS), but of course, we need a few tweeks. To save time (and if anyone is interested), I have uploaded the source files so you can see the structure here:The flash file is set up like this:Fla file for all the image souces & layoutIndex.html File has some sort of fancy javascriptText.html file is the editable file where non-flash-knowing dingbats like me can just edit the text and POOF! Magic!I know I have bastardized them from the original and some stuff is probably wonky.The biggest problem is that the "thumbnails" that you click on at the starpage are auto-generated, cropping the top left 100x100 square. I don't know why this is the case, and honestly, I think it looks awful.
Is there any way to manually set the thumbnail images, so they are cropped artistically rather than randomly? I asked the template tech support and they told me to "make my images 100x100". I did that for the first blue logo, and it looks like CRAP! Sure, I have the icon I would like, but when someone goes to browse the gallery, they get a 100x100 icon displaying instead of a lovely fullscreen pic.
I'm using an AS3 photoviewer from [URL] and I am trying to get the thumbnail images to pop out when rolled over.
View 5 RepliesThis is a code that open a XML file, containing a small list of images, and place them as thumbs on the page.It kinda work now, but the funny thing is, the order of the thumbs is totally scrambled compared to the xml list, and I can't just see why!It has something to do whith when the loaders gets transfered via addEventListener to the placePics function, more than that I cant find out!There may be the better way to put up this code. I just feel putting it up in two nested addEventListeners like this is not the best of practice. But I see no other way here.

1) I bought a photo gallery that works well, but when I use it in a project I'm working on, the thumbnail images don't display, but everything else does including XML loaded text so I'm pretty sure it has to do with the actionscript and the level it's targeting.
2) I also can't figure out how to shrink the size of the full view photo which seems to also be loaded somehow with action script to a blank MC, but it may not be in the script below... there's a lot of script here that I don't understand.
I have completed the excellent Flash Thumbnail Gallery Tutorial (and the Picture gallery Tutorial). I have been able to update the dynamic text content, and basically customize the look and feel of the .swf. That works when I upload it to my website.My problem is that neither in Preview mode (via Flash) nor once uploaded to my website can I get my XML file to call my own images up. It will call the tutorial images from Kirupa if I leave them in there.
I have tried to use relative and absolute file paths for the image URL, and neither is working. I even tried using "image ID=" tags inside the node, to no avail. I have an image directory that is a few folders deep, so I tried putting the XML, FLA and SWF (all together) in different places, updating the SWF on my html page, and then republishing. In the place where my image should be, there is nothing.Flash reports an error when I hit CTRL+Enter that it cannot find those particular files.
I am trying to create a dynamic menu for a video player. Much like the one found here (MTV OverDrive. )Obviouslythis is a Flash site and I can only assume the video list is being generated via XML. I am trying to accomplish the same thing, only I am not using FCS.
I just want to create the buttons dynamically with thumbnail images and text via XML, and in turn load the video based on a button click. I have the video part working fine, using a video object, I just need to know how to create the buttons WITH THUMBS from an XML file. I can figure out how to load the video once the button is clicked. The problem is the menu itself and loading the different thumbnail with the button.I am sure it has something to do with "attachMovie,DuplicateMovie, or CreateEmptyMovieClip" but I am not sure how to do this with XML.
I am calling 18 images into the empty .mc from local drive. MasterHomePage_mc.ImgButton1_btn.Img1_mc.Img1Holde r_mc. ist working fine and images are NOT blinking when they called up.
But, once I have done a simple thumbnail image bar with spinning 18 images they start blining.
I think there is a probles with speed of loading images.
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?

View 6 RepliesI 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 cant seem to make my preloader disappear after the MovieClipLoader class has determined the load is complete. I have a movieclip I attach onto the stage called thumbnailModule_mc inside of it I have the preloader movieclip (a simple spinning circle) and the image holder movieclip that the MovieClipLoader is listening to see when the image load is complete. When the load completes I want to set the alpha to zero and fade in the image. But my code doesn't work! the preloader stays visible.[code]...
View 9 RepliesI have a little problem, I'm writing an app, where flash attaches a movie with attachMovie and in addition, I add an object with its _x,_y,_xscale and _yscale. Now what I need to do, is not to attach a movie, but to load it with MCL. The problem is,that I don't know how to attach an object with its _xs and _ys to a movieclip loaded. Furthermore, when loaded,it doesn't appear in a library, so I could attach it. Setting parameters manually would take tons of time, so I'm looking for most "economical" solution.
View 4 RepliesOk the fourth page of the website is a portfolio page with 16 thumbnails (4 across 4 down) which opens a larger pic on the same page to the right.
I can't figure out what to change. The first and third thumb down seem to be linked and open the same image. Same with two and two down from that and so on. I want to separate them so each open their own image. If I edit it in PS both thumbs change...
I click several times and well thumb one and the third one down is:
onClipEvent (load) {
i = 1;

I'm working on one current project, I don't have any issues to load a SWF into a main SWF but I can't figure out how to apply dynamically the scale down and up into a thumbnail images size while using the Resize event handler to fit in any browsers sizes.
I load SWF into a Loader object then add it into a container => currentMC. I want to size it and keep all the pieces inside this container. Therefore no matter browser size, I just want to be able to apply scale on it to fit it.
Does anyone know how to do that? How would I deal with stageWidth and stageHeight?
I have a flash image gallery that loads images through xml. Images have to be croped for thumbnails. So u have to have two folders, one for the thumbnails an another file for the big size images. I would like to know if there is a way to load only one image ( and not this image's thumbnail too) and with a script or something, to resize this image to get the thumbnail. To make my self clearer here is the xml code:
image../gallery_flash/imageGallery/images/watches/i1005.jpg image
thumb../gallery_flash/imageGallery/thumbs/watches/i1005.jpg thumb
(For some reason it doesnt show the xml right...) I dont want to have the line (thumb>../gallery_flash.), but only load one image and get the thumbnail also.
I am going to create a scrolling panel with quite large image. The height will be 400px and the width will be different from image to image.
If I do this in only flash the swf will be too large for use on the Internet. So I want to load the images from a xml-document. And this is my problem:
How do I load my images into the panel from an xml-document? And the width of my panel should be as long as the total width of the images are.

I am working on a website where I want certain images to load whenever a user clicks on a thumbnail. I want a preloader to appear before the image is displayed. I created this so far:
mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loadListener = new Object();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("foto.jpeg", placeholder_mc);
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function(placeholder_mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
[Code] ....
When I preview this of course I see my image, but I want to know if the preloader works. So I hit ctrl+enter again and... nothing. The progress bar (bar_mc) blinks once and then blank... a white screen... Besides, I want this code to be executed when a user clicks a thumbnail, how can I implement this on a button, while at the same time, the first thumbnail should load automatically, so there's no exmpty page when the user first opens the website?
My first attempt involved using LoadVars and "load", and only calling loadMovie if the file successfully loaded (found the technique somewhere out here). However, I found that the ProcessRequest function in the HttpHandler was getting called twice when the file does exist. Makes sense - once for load, once for loadMovie.Now I'm using MovieClipLoader instead (also found this technique out here). This way does call ProcessRequest only once whether or not the file is found. But my problem is that the onLoadError function is only working when I give it a bad URL. If I give it a good URL that passes a bad filename to the handler, the handler throws an error, but my onLoadError function doesn't seem to recognize that there's a problem - I just get a blank area where the error message should be showing up.Here's the relevant AS2 code:
function CheckFileExists(inFile) {
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip, err:String){

I have implemented a thumbnail. Then when I click on the thumbnail images, i want to create a popup window in flash. But the problem here is that no action is performing when i click on the thumbnails.
function createThumbnails(xml,MC){
var totThmbs = xml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
var Hldr = MC.createEmptyMovieClip("Hldr",200);
Hldr.attachMovie("thumbnail_bg","thumbnail_bg",100);
Hldr._y = 235;

How would you guys go about creating an horizontally scrolling panel of thumbnail images? I want a panel that scrolls for ever in both directions and it also needs to be controlled via two arrow buttons not a mouse over type scroller. I would also like to animate with Tweens in action script to get a nice smooth scroll.I know some as3 but I can't work out how to make the scroller repeatedly scroll in both directions.
View 7 RepliesI 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;

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.
