ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Of Arrays - Dynamically Loads Images Into A Movieclip Entitled 'gallery'
Sep 25, 2009
I've created a photo gallery that dynamically loads images into a movieclip entitled 'gallery'. Right now the images are listed in an array. is it possible to make an Array of Arrays so that I could load different Arrays for different image galleries? Is this somewhat how it would work? Lets say I were to switch to a section entitled 'landscapes' which we will pretend is the array "var a:Array = new Array();" for now.
I am pretty new to xml (and understand just a little actionscript 2.0) I have a functioning flash file that loads text and images dynamically from my xml file. Everything is working fine, but I was wondering if there is a quick code to change the image size when they are loaded into my empty mc?
I have a xml gallery at the moment which loads in thumbnails and displays the larger images when clicked. What I am having trouble with is that some of the thumbnails have their own multiple images (more than 1 image for that thumbnail). I want to have a numbered menu 1,2,3,4 and when I click on the thumbnail depending how many sub photos there are for that one thumbnail I want to display an that image. And just to be dificult I also am displaying the larger images in another swf on the same page using local connection.
i am creating a file that loads images dynamically and scrolls through them. this is all being read from an xml file. i am able to do everything but get the buttons to work.whenever i click on a button, it gives me the value of the last button, not the current button. for example, if four buttons load, if i click on any button, it always traces the value of 4.
here is the code:
Code: //load xml file var xmlLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xmlD:XML = new XML();
I am building a portfolio site which dynamically loads large hi-res images when the user clicks on a thumnail. However I'm having problems maintaining the original image's quality when resizing it to fit the current browser. Currently I'm just adjusting the width & height properties of the image to width to the stage proportionally which is working fine getting it to fit, however I cannot figure out how to maintain image quality? Do I need to load it as a bitmap and redraw/smooth or something similar?[code]
I'm building a project that dynamically loads external images and audio into it.The images in the external folder are numbered sequentially in the order they display as you click through them (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc). No problem.There is audio that is supposed to fade in a play with certain images. (1.mp3 fades in when 1.jpg is displayed.). No problem.Here's where it gets tricky... At least for me.Not every jpg has an audio file associated with it. The last audio that was triggered needs to keep playing until another jpg with cooresponding audio file plays, at which point the two audio files need to smoothly crossfade.1.jpg displayed => 1.mp3 fades in and plays.
So I've been working on a Flash-based web portfolio for my sound design work, and I'm creating a gallery of images/sound clips which load dynamically (that way I don't need to recompress the swf file every time I add/remove a production). I'm having trouble with checking to see if files exist; for example, I want to check if a sound file exists, and if it does, set the alpha property of a symbol to 100%, and if it doesn't, set the alpha property of that symbol to 25%.
The code I'm using works fine when I test the file locally, but as soon as I upload the file and test it, the movie responds as if a file exists even when it doesn't, and I can't figure out why.
i wrote a bit of actionscript to dynamically create an image gallery based on how many images are in a given directory. as of now, i've got it to display thumbnails in rows. my next step would be to get these thumbnails to link to the fullsize images, but i cant figure out how to do that. my code is as follows:
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.
making my image gallery, but it only works as each image in the array is clicked. Now I am trying to make the gallery move automatically to the next image in the array every 5 seconds while still giving the user the ability to click on an image to view the one that they want.Here is my code so far (like i said it works great, but only as a click-able gallery):
I've got a weird problem that could probably be easily fixed if I weren't such a novice coder. I'm loading external jpegs into movie clips that are within a movie clip which is within another movie clip (because they are animated as a whole within the other movie clips). The XML loads fine. The "Image" class I've made up is defined. The attributes from the XML load into the array of images.
However, I can't loop through the movieclips to actually load the images. But if I define manually the movie clip loads it loads perfectly. Here is the code that loads the images successfully, but not 100% dynamically:
ActionScript Code: // Define the Images Array var ImageArray:Array = new Array();
I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array(); var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array(); slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
Based on the Kirupa Flash XML Gallery, I tried to expand it as far as I could. Right now, it loads the images, generates buttons dynamically according to how many images are in the XML que, and each image is hyperlinked. I want to load in a swf file dynamically via XML into an another empty movieclip everytime I go to a new image. In another words if I have 9 images in my gallery, each image is assigned a swf file to load into another empty movieclip.
I made this flash CS3 project using Actionscript 2.0
I want to import some images in a folder to stage. The images are named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg etc.. All these images are 600px in width.
I used a movieclip as a container for these images.
Here's the code.for(i=0; i<3; i++){img_scroll.attachMovie("imgbar", "img"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());img_scroll["img"+i]._x = i * 600;img_scroll["img"+i]._y = 0;loadMovie(i+1 +".jpg", img_scroll["img"+i]);}
img_scroll is the movieclip that should contain the images. and imgbar is an empty movieclip.
When i run this code, only the last image is loaded. since i used i<3 in the for loop, only the 3rd image is loaded. its in the right place. (_x = 1800). The first and second images are not loaded...
PS: If i use _root.attachMovie, and _root instead of img_scroll everywhere, all the images are loaded perfectly and in place. But i want them to be inside the img_scroll movieclip. Because that will be animating.
I am not terribly advanced in Flash, but I have figured out dynamically loading text and images into flash, but what I am trying to set up is somewhat of a back end script for a client. It is a photography website and I am trying to have the images dynamically load into a movie clip. So he can change out the files on his end when needed. I have a script something like this for the button that loads the image.
I wonder whether anyone could give me an idea of where I am going wrong with this.I am loading images into a sliding menu which will act as a thumbnail viewer, the structure of which is: "thumbsContainer" (movieclip) nested inside "galleryPane" (movieclip). The images are loaded into movieclips named "all_thumbs", which are added to the thumbsContainer stage.
I would like to mask the content of the thumbsContainer, so that only the images physically within the thumbsContainer border will be viewable. I have tried adding my coded mask to the thumbsContainer stage, and tying it to the thumbsContainer; and have separately tried the same with the all_thumbs movieclip - but no matter how I organise my code, I can't get this to work. If the mask is tied to the thumbsContainer mc - that element disappears; if the mask is tied to the all_thumbs mc, only the background to the thumbsContainer is visible. Either way, I cannot get thumbnails to display through the mask. No thumbnails at all will display on stage.
I've had a good look through the books I have and online, but with no joy so far.
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a steer with this.

what's a simple way to combine arrays with as3? by combine, i mean that contents of one array are pushed into another array.I already tried a for loop and push.
I've tested the published swf files in IExplorer (8.0.6001), Safari (4.0.5) and Firefox (3.6.3). All work.
I've tested the published index.html in IExplorer, Safari and Firefox. All work.
I upoaded to the server. Now there are problems. The gallery (a flash gallery I built using UILoader) doesn't load the first picture in Firefox (3.6.3), but loads fine in IExplorer and Safari.
On a girlfriend's of mine mac, the first picture in the gallery doesn't load in her Safari. But it works on my Safari?
Is stuff like this common? I can't understand why it's happening, I mean, I tested it. On the very same browser it works fine when reading off my hard drive, but doesn't autoload when reading from the net.
I am trying to build a gallery where the thumbnail loads and then you hit the thumbnail and it opens the image full size. I don't want to have it resize.
i have two arrays of DesplayObjects and i want to add all the objects in the second array to the end of the first array, i knew that i just can just do a loop and puch em into the array, but i wondered if there was a simple function for doing this?
I'm trying to make a photo gallery that loads the pics in as swf's, and was wondering if there was any way for flash to detect the number of files that are in a particular folder on website (also the names of those files).
The problem is if I press the buttons in a sequential manner..the data loads fine..but If i pres it randomly choosing a button..the data doesnt loads according to the button..The problem lies with the Variable "p". Here is the Actions on Frame-1 :
i couldn't find a tutorial on this matter so i sorta started making my own hypothesis... what i'm trying to do is: have a gallery of images automatically scrolling horizontally while having the set of images loop. like at[URL]..
here are a couple of my theories and questions for AS commands to have this work:
1) display a range of pixels of an image at certain positions, i.e. if gallery is scrolling to the left, leftmost image when its parts are disappearing out of the viewing area, they become visible at the right.
2) have two instances of each image and when an image is disappearing on left, the second instance of that image comes visible on the right. this I imagine would take up more HD space.
i guess what i was wondering more about is how jager did their gallery where there's only enough images are in a set to be viewed in the viewing area.
I have an array with 20 elements and a shuffle function applied. Now i need to screen only 4 elements from that, which then should be deleted from the array in order to avoid repetition (next play will pick other 4 images and so on) Anyone knows if there a class i can use?
ActionScript Code: function processXML(e:Event):void { var my_xml:XML=new XML(e.target.data); my_speed=my_xml.@SPEED;
I found a tutorial that showed how to create an image gallery that loads external bitmaps. It also has some nice fade in/fade out effects using Tweener. I was wondering, what would I need to modify from my code to load MovieClips from the library instead of the external JPEGs.
ActionScript Code: import caurina.transitions.Tweener; var btn:Object;
