ActionScript 3.0 :: Building Image Grid With Hyperlinks And Text From XML?
Jun 19, 2011
I want to create a page with art work where images are pulled externally and the items in the grid also have text and are clickable (all taken from XML).I succesfully extracted information from XML and am using a for loop to create my image gird but not sure this is the best method? I have used an XML gallery tutorial from Republic of Code to get me started. Below is the for loop what I am struggling with at the moment is that the product images are not loading into the individual movie clips.Im new to AS3 so sorry if I am doing this all wrong.
Code:
function callProductThumbs():void {
//Loops through the XML Lists as defined by external Web Service

I am building a grid of buttons dynamically in a for loop from XML. I am then assigning them button.label and button.name from the array. The grid appears, the buttons have the right label, the event.target.name method produces the name on the button in a trace. Now how do I attach that to a function dynamically? I need the name of the button to call the next step.
I use a content management system [CMS] here at work so am to a certain extent restricted in terms of web design. In Dreamweaver I can easily create 'hotspots' on an image so there are hyperlinks all over it, however inserting this image in the CMS so that all the 'hotspots' work isn't possible (well I can't make it work). However, it is possible to embed Flash into the CMS by using appropriate code in an html portlet.
Consequently, if I have a .PNG image how do I convert that to a movie in Flash and then create lots of hyperlinks all over the image? If Flash is not the best way to do this, should I use Fireworks? In Fireworks I am able to add hotspots to an image, but when I save the image with the hotspots in my 'web folder' and view the url, the hotspots don't work. The onlt way I seem to be able to make the hotspots work in Fireworks is to save it as a .htm and then view that url, but obviously that is no good as I can't insert that as an image on a webpage in the CMS as it isn't an image
I'm new to flash as a whole but it is necessary for a project that I'm working on. How to make a scrolling dynamic text box through trial and error, and I'm proud of that feature. But now I need to know if two things are possible. Can I create a hyperlink (if I can call it that) that will pull documents off of the web? And if so what is a sample function. The second thing I would like to know is can I embed an image file into that dynamic text box? If so how can I do that.
I am using the carousel as a navigation bar for a website, but instead of opening a window inside of the carousel, I want it to just load a new page for each individual image. I know that this requires putting the links into the XML file which I have done, but I'm struggling with the actionscript
I have a dynamic textbox on the 3rd level of a flash movie. The textbox has some hyperlinks for which I used this AS2 code as a test:[code]When I test the scene it works well on all levels apart from the root level. When I test the whole movie, the link does not respond. On rollover the mouse converts into a text cursor, and I have to click several times, until randomly a hand comes up and the link opens. I don't understand why on all sublevels (in the movieclips), the link works perfectly (on rollover mouse becomes hand and click loads URL int browser), but not on the root level. Btw, I placed the movie with the textbox on top, so there is no layer above that in the root timeline.
Is it possible to control aspects of a movie clip using hyperlinks within a dynamic text box?I am using LoadVars to import text from an external .txt file into a dynamic text box,and although I can create simple hyperlinks (using <a> tags) within the box that can redirect the current page to a new URL, is it possible to have links which work within the flash movie - i.e. navigating to another scene?
Im retrieving tweets, so i have dynamic text, but i the tweets occasionally contain hyperlinks. I know you can find the hyperlinks in text. But every technique i have tried has failed, i think its because there searching through an array and then converting that to a string
Well heres my code:
function userTimelineResult(e:TwitterEvent):void { for (var i in e.data) {
Is there a way to make a url clickable from a parsed xml file? I pull in an xml file from the php script and then display the data in a dynamic text field. I want to have the hyperlinks be about the be linked.[code]...
Is there a way to display hyperlinks in a text scroller in which the text is dynamically loaded using variables? I'm talking about the basic text scroller
I have a text field which displays text loaded from xml. The data is rendered in htmlText.How can I disable the hyperlink if that hyperlink is clicked?
I have created a flash website and have encountered a problem. I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0.I have created a text box (at the moment it is Dynamic because I have it scrolling) with text entered into it. I want hyperlink sections of the text to other frames within the flash movie. The text box is on the "news" frame - this is a page for archived news. I want to highlight pieces of the text and create hyperlinks to each of the archived news stories (each of which is on a different frame).I know how to create buttons from text and link them to different frames, however I do not want to do this because I want to maintain the text box (with hyperlinks within the text box) so that I can make this page scrollable.I have tried highlighting the text and hyperlinking it to the frame number, to the frame name, to the frame anchor, ec..

I have a project in which I have an opening scene of a main image and 8 thumbnail buttons. This opening scene is pretty basic, as the thumbnails would link to a new scene or frame label (however I build it). This 2nd scene or instance in the timeline is where I would display another large image, and 6 new thumnail images that, upon rollover, would swap the large main image with the large version of the active thumbnail.
Basically I have a main 'menu' of category thumbnails that link to an instance in the timeline that displays the initial large image for that category, and allows the user to mouseover the other thumbnails to see the large images, and then click to go to a specific URL for more information. The trouble I have with my rusty, limited AS knowledge is how to effeciently write the AS so that the image swap works. I quickly ran into a wall trying to acomplish this using a very OLD method that would require a LOT of jumping around the timeline.
I'm trying to do a transition that you've probably seen many times. Transitioning one image to another using a grid of squares where each square fades at a slightly different time.I've made a complex movie clip made up of several other movie clips with all the squares fading at the rate I'm looking at. When I just play the color squares it works fine, but the minute I turn that master movie clip into a mask for the image I loose the transition/fade completely--just an on off thing.
I'm working on a website that is going to have images fading in and out of eachother. Instead of a plain fade, I would like to use the fade grid that I found on this site. I have it working with 1 image, but can't get it to work with more. I'm not great with action scripts and there is only 1 frame in the timeline so I can't put a go to action at the end of the animation. I tried adding a second scene but then it just gave me a white screen when I tested the movie.I would like to have 6 images fading with the grid. How to get it to work? Using Flash MX. Actionscript is here: [URl].
I have an image of a human body which needs to divided into Hexagonal Grid pattern and the hexagons should be highlighted on mouse rollover and also clicks. It will be time consuming if I make these hexagons manually coz they will around 1000 in numbers.
[url]...Now I have a problem, I would like to add DOWNLOAD button for every image, or to add ''Back'' button, and clicking on the image would open it in new window for downlading. I tried to modify code on my own but I didn't succeed a lot. I dont know if I have to put links in XML file and then create new var like ''picUrl'' or something? My main problem is creating function for that.
i would like to replace the background color with a tiling background-image. i understand that "graphics." can only fill or draw. i understand the chunk of "graphics." in the code above needs to change to something else, but i am at a loss of how to call the following image: background-image: Embed("images/bg-uneditableField.jpg");
