ActionScript 2.0 :: Unable To MakeKirupa's XML Gallery?
Aug 18, 2007
I've moved the scrolling thumbnails over to the left of the image area, and tried to make the thumbs scroll vertically*.I got this working, but the hit areas seem to be a bit off. Once you've rolled over either the top or bottom hit areas, then everything directly to the left of that also becomes active.In a perfect world I'd just like the actual hit areas to be active and no where else.Here's the code for that part. I've fiddled around with this, that and the other,
Code:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
My gallery is set up to load from an XML file and it works great. My problem is that the program only loads the first gallery. I can load either gallery 1 or gallery 2, but when I try to switch galleries, the current gallery vanishes and nothing reappears. according to the trace function, the thumbnails are being generated again, but nothing is showing up again.
I think it may be the container_mc that needs to be removed and re-declared but nothing seems to work. I've I've had to remove a bit of code related to background graphics to meet the max length req of the forums but otherwise it is all there. apologies for the messy code:
i download and try to modify a xml photo gallery from kirupa in this pagemake the buttons for "next" "back".... and one button that control the slide show, but i cant find how to activate the slide show and desactivate it.
I'm new at actionscripting althought not new to flash. I tried creating the photo gallery using the code that is posted here on [URL]. But it doesn't seem to load. I've been using Flash 5, (I'm more comfortable using 5) and I don't know if it makes a difference. But I also tried it on MX and it didn't seem to load with MX either. I don't know if I'm messing up on the dir for the images or what have you, but most of the time I get nothing when I preview it, other times my image frames pops up for a split second. Here's what I've what I've done [Code].....
i m using flash on a module of Joomla to display images, i embed flash player code into javascript , it fetch images from an XML files wher images are predefined and it works fine, now i have a problem that i m collecting images from database, means images are dynamically, so i m unable to fetch that images an display on flash, i just want to knoe how to add dynamic image array into flash. do i need to create xml??
I've been trying to tweak the "image gallery + Bokel loader class" found on the laco web site. The image preloader is pretty nifty:

I've added Previous/Next buttons which clients always seem to demand, and I've given the thumbnail buttons a static position (something I need to do). I'm having problems getting the buttons to stack in rows/columns though. I can't work with one long column or row of buttons - they need to be stacked in rows, say 6 buttons per row and 6 columns across so that there is a nice box arrangement to the buttons. But the way the functions are written its hard to make adjustments to the placement of clips.
What is best way to set up my application. I currently have a working app but the work flow doesn't feel right at all. Here are the basic steps involved:
i have coded my first xml gallery, it loads jpgs and swf files.the swf files have each a video component on stage that controls the related FLV file.Testing the gallery locally I had no problem at all, but when uploaded to the server the jpgs works fine while the swf files (containing the videos) keep trhowing this error:
VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server at fl.video::VideoPlayer/stop() at fl.video::FLVPlayback/stop()[code]....
I work with Flash Pro allmost 11 hours per day and every while i get a error which messes up everything. Approximetly i get this after about 2-3 hours withevery project.After i get this error there is no chance to test movies afterwards.I see a fast flash of the loader window but it dissapears so fast i cant even really see if it is loader.
I have a site that plays either .mp3 or .flv files depending on what is selected from the menu. Menu loads in from xml. I get "unable to make connection with server or unable to find flv on server" when I try to play the video. But the video and audio files are all in the same directory and the mp3 files play fine. I think I'm having a problem with the setMedia command. Here's the code that loads the video and audio files.
What I want to do is to make a gallery based on the tutorial gallery here (thumbs), but I want the user to be able to choose different galleries from within the movie. I figured that I could make a loop to cycle through the galleries, then nest another loop inside it to cycle through the pics, captions and thumbs. While I wrote, I constantly tested the output with trace commands, but when I tried nesting the loop I lost all output.. I'm pretty new to both Flash and Actionscript, so if theres an obvious solution I havent been able to see it.. This is my temp XML file:
Im using a dock gallery fx from flash xml components. But for some reason when I preview in browser the dock gallery scales out of the swf area. This doesnt happen if i change the p[ublish setting to match movie. But if the publish setting is set to perscentage gallery scales.
i am trying to add extra images to the photo gallery attached. I would have thought it is easy and it seems so. I add an extra image to the gallery. I publish it. The html file shows the extra image in the gallery but the swf doesnt. driving me crazy, cant work it out?
I've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.
In my "actions" layer I have a function that loads a gallery of a external file called gallery.swf. The swf loads successfully but I cant remove that. The only way to remove is to call removeChild(mLoader.content); I noticed that the movies loads without addChild.
But sometimes also calling removeChild(mLoader.content) the content of mLoader is not removed and still appears in the stage.
I have a flash site that I'm working with that has an xml photo gallery as one of it's menu items. the photo gallery has three pages, all three containing thumbnail images that once clicked, load the larger image. The larger image dissolves in covering the page with the image. Once you click the larger image it dissolves out returning you to the gallery.
What I want to to do is to change the first page of this gallery to a video gallery, or player, leaving the other two galleries as image galleries. I tried simply replacing the images listed in the xml document to flv files and the flv file does not load. I simply want to know what it is I need to do in order to change this one page so that I can embed videos on it.
I've attached the Action script that loads the xml gallery in .txt format
i am trying to put some things together following the tutorials on this site. I did the tutorial 'Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash'and I followed it step by step and uploaded it with all the necessary files onto my remote server (xml file, Gallery folder, fla, swf, and html) - however, when I test the movie with flash, it seems to work fine (except the description test, my question to that later), but when I test it online it shows only the first image (but displays the correct number of images in the gallery); even when clicking the next button, it keeps loading the first image the first image. In other galleries (I use the structure for multiple galleries for my portfolio) the first image never loads at all.
Also, about the description text, in between the <caption> and </caption>, can I use <strong> and <em> and <br /> to change the appearance of my text? All it says is 'null'.If you want to look at what I mean check out my portfolio in the making. The problem with the first image displaying only is under 'paintings' and both the projects in 'design - packaging'. The second problem (no picture loading at all) is on some of the buttons in 'design - identity' (where I have not changed the description text of the tutorial yet). Again,
have a question about loading new photos into a already populated image gallery.So I have my gallery set up so first loads my stage pics. What I would now like to do is load different set of images via the click of a button.So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and the user can click on them to view the full size image. next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones.
I've got a website with three links to three different thumbnail galleries. When I click the link to a gallery that has a lesser number of thumbnails, it fills the difference in numbers in with thumbnails from the previous gallery.
I dont know much about Parsing XML with AS2. "Game can now be started", "In loadXML function" is traced. Unfortunately, "failed to load" is traced too. I put my cards.xml file in the same file as my main.asc.[code]...
I am a high school teacher, attempting to teach a few simple animations in Flash. The only action script students have written is the stop action in the last frame. I have one student, though, who has drawn a snowman and a tree using oval and paintbrush tools. Every time she tries to export as .swf (or pressing Ctrl+Enter) the progress bar stops half-way and sits. She's waited 5 minutes and hasn't had any luck. Her .fla file is only 1 mb so I don't think it's a memory issue. Is there anything else that's keeping her file from being unable to export as .swf? The compressed checkbox is on in the export options.
i tried for many times but i can't seem to load the php data into my flash document. I check that the link to the php file is correct and the code for loading does not seem to be wrong
I have just moved to cs3 (AS3). I am unable to make some programs run. For example I have downloaded the photo viewer from actionscript.org V2/Page1.html but when I run this program, it shows just blank screen nothing else. Even SWF file is showing the same. And it shows the error, "A definition for the document class could not be found in the classpath, so one will be automatically generated in the swf file upon export." While classpath is the same as of .FLA file.
The problem is I have an MC in the library the gets attached to the stage dynamically and when that happens, my FLV doesn't play. I thought perhapse it was a matter of the FLV being loaded under the other MC but I've tried "swapdepths" to move it to the top, and I've tried "removeMovieClip" to get rid of the other clip to show the FLV.
Nothing seems to work. All my trace statments are trigering so I know the function is working properly (except getting the video to play).
// Create a NetConnection object var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); // Create a local streaming connection my_nc.connect(null);
I am n00b with the flash. I had a swf and i decomplied it so i got lots of files including actionscripts. However i cant change the actionscripts. The program just doesnt allow me to make a change on it.
I would do it with notepad but there are so many actionscripts i donno which one has the code i need. Its actually very complicated. It made me sick.I just need to change some paths in actionscripts.
