ActionScript 2.0 :: Xml Thumbnail Scroller Problem On External Swf
Dec 5, 2006
I have a external swf file of the kirupa xml thumbnail gallery. the first problem i had is the thumbnail scroller didnt work. ive been struggling to fix this problem, for a few hours now. ive been googling this and found solutions that i had to change _root. to _level0 , _parent, and _root.container these kinda works but the next big problem i have now is that it scrolls but it keeps shaking left and right constantly and tis really bugging me.
Alright, I've done the XML Photo Gallery Tut and am attempting to make the thumbnails scroll up and down instead of left and right. Apparently it's not as easy as switching X and Y. The tutorial is located a
I'm using the XML and FLA file from this tutorial: [URL] I added right and left arrows to the thumbnail scroller so when the mouse is over the arrows, it should start scrolling. Here's the site I'm working on: [URL] As you can see, if I click on the arrows in the scroller, nothing happens. How can I have the arrows activate the scroller? Here are my FLA and XML files: [URL]
I've done a basic thumbnail scroller before, but now I'm trying to make one like the scroller at I need to figure out how to get the popout with the text on it. Specifically when the image is the center image. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I am building a full screen image gallery. I would like to have a thumbnail scroller menu at the bottom. As the user mouse overs a particular thumbnail, the image will appear fullscreen behind the thumbnail menu. I would like it so that the image appeared immediately as the user mouses over (i.e. the image is somehow already loaded in) as opposed to each image being loaded as the cursor is rolled over.
There are several images, so loading them all prior to running the application really isn;t an option. How could this be achieved? Are there any tips/tricks that can be used?
I have read the tutorial: [URL], and I based my flash file off the code given there. I would like to, instead of letting the thumbnail_mc's scroll when you rollover them, have buttons on either side that scroll (slow when mouseover and fast when pressed) the mc's instead. Here is what I have, which doesn't seem to work:
I'm trying to combine a couple different dynamic image galleries. I've got a thumbnail scroller but I'd like it to rotate 8 every eight seconds until a thumbnail is clicked.
I'm clueless here. I could probably come up with a jacked up workaround if this wasn't dynamic, but it is.
getting a vertical and horizontal thumbnail scroller to work at the same time, based off of the xml photo gallery tutorial here on kirupa. I'm using FMX04 and I can get one or the other to work but not at the same time. Once I can get them both to work at the same time I would like to make the vertical set load a different set up thumbnails,I know it will involve editting the xml and hence adding to the xml loading into flash but I'm unclear on that also... on another note, is there an easy way to make the image holder resize to the image, so as to accommodate both vertical and horizontal images without skewing them?
Here's my code (as) so far...
Code: // start of horizontal code function loadXMLh(loaded) { if (loaded) {
I am trying to use rhamejs slideshow (located here) and I would like to move the scroller to a certain position on the stage but I'm not sure how to do it. My stage is 900px wide with a nav bar along the bottom. All I want to do is move the scroller to the right of my nav buttons and left of another button that is in the far right corner. I would like to stay within that space which expands depending on your browser/screen size. The main stage is set up to resize based on browser/screen size and all the nav buttons are anchored. I basically need the left edge of the scroller to be 535px from the left edge of the stage at all timesI need the right edge of the scroller to be 185px from the right edge of the stage at all times. I have tried editing these lines but after the width of your window gets to a certain point, the thumbs stop scrolling or disapear completely:
I am using a scrolling thumnail bar to load external swf with transitions, I got to work using an earlier thread, by including the _parent property, however it loads the same swf everytime. I am really stumped.
I wanna design a custom scroller kinda like the on... [URL] (right below the word welcome) I don't want to use the dull custom built in version MX provides cause lets face it, its ugly! and I'd like it to be linked to an external text document. I see this all over the place, so I'm pretty sure this is possible! Point me towards a tutorial or post an .fla with an example or something, I'm guessing a few other people may be interested too!
I amusing the great Kirupa Flash gallery and have tweaked it so that I only am using the thumbnail scroll box to link to external html or asp pages.The xml file all loads correctly, though when I pass the "link" to the getURL the output is the entire XML "link" node.[code]
find a horizontal or vertical message scroll-er that pauses on each message? And pulls the message from a external xml or text file. Trying to make a website news scroll-er that's easy for the owner to edit
I have 100 mc's loading external thumbnail jpgs via loadMovie(). I need a preloader of some sort to show the status of the thumbnails. The problem is that each of the mc's are loading JPG individually and I am not sure of how to combine their loading statuses into a preloader. The other option I had planned to use was to make one thumbnail larger in file size than the others so that it would load last and therefore I could use some onload function for this particular thumbnail, but I do not know what would be best to use in this case.
In Kirupa's tutorial, Adding Thumbnails, when an image is loaded in the thumbnail viewer, you are able to click on it and load an external page. I've been searching for a while, but I am unable to figure out how to accomplish this.
I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart [code]
I have been following all the wonderful tutorials in this forum to learn about AS and flash. This time I tried to combine 2 tutorials and make a text field with external loaded text and custom scroller button, but I failed.....
I tried to look for different tutorials to find the answer, but It didn't work out either...
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 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?
my problem is that if you go over the menu text above my scroller it controls the scroller. I wan this areas movement to have no effect on the scroller below. is there a way to script my scroller to set it to this?
I would like to use it as a horizontal scroller for an image gallery. Just to clarify a horizontal dragger and a horizontal stage motion for image viewing.
fscommand("allowscale", "false"); bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=false; space = 20;
I can find tons of articles/tutorials on custom scrollers but none of them actually replace the browser scroller. If the browser is made smaller the custom scroller and the browser scroller are there. [URL]...
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:
I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart and there is additonal functionality attached to it to affect it's movement which I'm not too worried about although it would be nice)
Code: // set up content_mc info contentRight = _root.content_mc._x;
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?
