ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding "loading" Movieclip To Dynamic Image Gallery?
Dec 8, 2009
I've completed my XML-driven image gallery, however upon live testing I'd realized I made a rookie mistake and not put some kind of placeholder "loading" movie clip loop while the thumbnails and subsequent full-size images are being loaded. The images will randomly appear when loaded and I would like to be able to insert a placeholder movie clip while they load, and swap them up with the thumbnails/images after it has been loaded. The placeholder movie clip is in my library (loadingLoop), but I'm having problems getting it to work correctly.
Below is the original function that processes the XML and adds the thumbnail images; this is where I'm trying to insert the placeholder movie clip per XML child node (every attempt I've made just keeps throwing more errors, so I've omitted my attempts to avoid confusion), and I've attached the XML file for testing.

I've found this tutorial that I've played around with and it works out fine [URL], but I would like to add some descriptive text for the big image. How would I go about loading such a text from the xml file?
ActionScript Code:
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import caurina.transitions.*;
//---------loading the external xml file-------
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pics.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myXML:XML = new XML();

I was reading your tutorial on adding a thumbnail to an image gallery. Im trying to use your thumbnail_final.fla inside another movie and is not working for me. I made a movie, in Scene 1 of this movie i have an empty movie clip(DisplayArea) and a menu button(Gallery) so that when i hit the Gallery button it load the thumbnail)final movie into the empty movie clip DisplayArea. Everything work except for the thumbNailScroller function. It load all the thumbnails and you can click them and they load the matching big picture and all but the scrolling function is not working.

I'm encountering a weird glitch when I try to use a more complex image border: the image container and the text caption both jump into place at the last moment. A bad effect. All I've done is add two more variables, "w2" and "w3" to the code:
Code:
var w = container._width+spacing, h = container._height+spacing;
var w2 = container._width+space2, h2 = container._height+space2;
var w3 = container._width+space3, h3 = container._height+space3;
border.resizeMe(w, h, id);
border2.resizeMe(w2, h2, id);
border3.resizeMe(w3, h3, id);
The only way I can find to keep the border shapes in correct proportion is to create 3 different border clips and apply the "resizeMe" easing function to each of them.

I was trying to use the photo gallery tutorial from this site the code was done by sbeener I wanted to use the same concept for adding external text for each image. So far I have only been able to figure out how to load the text but I have not figured out how to be able to change the text to correspond to the image.

I need to create a gallery to load images and display them. This part is fine:
/**
* @variable image_name to store the name of the selected item
*/
private function showimage(evt:Event):void
[Code].....
where imgMain is the id the image component.
But, I need a small twist. A transition image i.e. loading image should be displayed while the the image is being loaded.

Trying to make a dynamic gallery that pulls images (along with names and dimensions) from different folders on the server. Want clients to be able to drop new images into these folders and have them pulled into the gallery dynamically. Do I need to use PHP as I did with AS2? or can AS3 pull the image names and dimensions from the folders on the server?

I'm trying to do a gallery with an XML file. My XML file is organized like that :
<images>
<image chemin="images/Palmares.jpg" titre="Palmares"
commentaire="Chamonix" />
</images>
The picture loader is working well and the text too but it doesn't work so well together. When I'm clicking on a sticker, the picture is load and a text too but it's not the good one.

I made a scrolling image gallery following the XML photo gallery tutorial found on this site and it works fine on its own. But when i load the .swf file into another flash file using a holder, it loads but it doesn't scroll anymore; its just a static image. I tried turning it into a MC and placing the MC into my flash but have the exact same problem.

I need to create a dynamic image gallery. The files are defined in an array like imgs = ['img1.jpg','img2.jpg']; then I loop through the array. The images should be arranged horizontally..
Code:

var x = 0;
var y = 0;
var i;
for (i in imgs) {
var t = this.createEmptyMovieClip ("thumbnail" + i, i);
var c = t.createEmptyMovieClip ("picHolder", 0);
var thumb = imgs[i];
c.loadMovie (thumb);
c._x = x + i * c._width;

I have made a site for an artist with a dynamic gallery using an xml file. I am trying to create a way for him to update the gallery by simply uploading his new photos through a html form. I have an image upload form which puts the images in the directory which the xml file references but I cant figure out how to generate a new xml file to show all the new pictures. Are there any easier ways to achieve an updatable gallery?

loading new xml data into a already xml populated image gallery.
So I have my gallery set up so it calls some xml when it first loads. What I would now like to do is load different sets of images via a different xml sheet via the click of a button.
So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and user can click on them to view the full size image. So 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 just like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones from a different xml file.
ActionScript Code:
var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
var xml:XML;

I have a photo gallery on my site that is generated using AS3 and XML. Everything works great but I'd like to have the images that relate to the first thumbnail appear automatically when the movie loads.
Here's my code:
Code: Select all//DEFINE ARRAYS

var productDescriptionArray:Array = new Array();
var magazineArray:Array = new Array();

I have followed Kirupa's XML Image Gallery tutorial. Before you ask, I have double checked my code. When I hit command+enter (mac) to preview it, everything works just fine. XML loads the correct images. My problem is when I publish it and upload it via FTP to my web server, ONLY the first image displays. When I click the next button, the first image fades out, but then it fades back in. The captions and image numbers change (like they're supposed to), but the image does not.
It remains on the first image. I know that it is able to access the XML because it loads the first image specified in the XML. That image was never imported into the Flash document. I have double checked my paths, too. All of the paths are correct. Also, I'm sure that it's not accessing a local file, because for each path, I specify the full URL, such as "[URL]", rather than just "/images/image.jpg". What do I need to do to fix this? You can see what I'm talking about by going to [URL] and clicking on "photo+art".

I have modified hga77's gallery and made some changes with the style. I am still having some problems and need three things sorted out. Well, two aren't essential but the first one is.1. Most importantly, On Load I need the first image in the XML file to load in and have a border.2. Get the percentage preloader working.

I'm trying to do something a little crazy from what it seems here, I have a carousel that I am modifying to have thumbnail images added to dynamically from an XML file. Now me being the practical persona I am I did NOT want to make little images for each picture in the gallery so I used a neat little class from a blog called soulwire
[URL]
the class lets me use the bitmap properties of flash to fit a copy of my image into the thumbnail are for my carousel Icons, later I will use the same info to click and show the large image for each of these icons.
My problem is that I can get it to work but only the last generated MovieClip gets an image, and it's not even the correct one. it gets image #2 in clip #5.
It seems as though my Event.COMPLETE for my loader is not firing for each image, if it is I'm not sure why I'm just getting the image in 1 icon.
here is my Code:
Code: Select all// Import the required classes
import uk.soulwire.utils.display.Alignment;
import uk.soulwire.utils.display.DisplayUtils;

Below is the code for dynamic image gallery from XML.
We have an alpha effect to the image animation when the image is loading. The affect is working fine (fade in).
But, when the next image is loading, we want fade out alpha affect to the current image before the next image loads.
delay = 6000;

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
