ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Building Scrolling Gallery - XML?
Feb 4, 2009
What I'm trying to do is build a Dynamic XML scrolling gallery, but it's not going to be a gallery, more like scrolling images with links, that when you click on an image, it will take you to the url designated for each image in the XML.I have no experience working with AS3, so far what I've got are things I'm learning trying to build this.The issue:The issue is that when I run the script, the url designated to all the created movie clips have the same url. For example it will use first "link" on the XML on all 4 movie clips (so all the movie clips would be linked to , or it will use the last "link" in the XML for all movie clips (so all the movie clips would be linked to . How may I fix the issue above?
PHP Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<chapter_list>

I am putting together a gallery that will show about 60 images. basic fade-in transitions between the images. I need to animate the company logo (very basic) and show some text below each image), becasue of this I dont know if any off the shelf xml based gallery will work? As usually you just define the image name/path and run the swf. This is for a presentation and not web so maybe not possible to be Xml based. Is there anything that is out there that could work for this and if not i suppose I am doing everything in flash but fear this as thimeline will be so long and a bit of a nightmare to do, if I have to do this in flash, I would have each image occupy about 20 frames 1-9 it will fade in, frame 10- a 10 sec pause, and frame 11-20 a fade out, that will still give me a timeline of 1200 approx.

I need it with Flash CS4, AS2...
I want to make a little app, .swf, that has a bunch of buttons on them - each button corresponds to a string of text...
So let's say, the buttons are marked as "Rd" "St" "Ln" etc...
When they click on the button, I want it to add that listing to the dynamic field box so it will look something like this
*User clicks on Rd button and "ROAD" pops up in the dynamic text box - User then clicks the "Ln" buttons, and then the dynamic text box changes to "ROAD/LANE"
User decides they don't want to use road, so they click on "Rd" button again, and the dynamic box reads "LANE" - user then wants to add "st" so they click on the corresponding button and now the text field reads "LANE//ROAD"

In the AS2 days you could create an array and add a bunch of Mc names to it like so
Code: Select allarray("clipA","clipB","clipC", etc..)
Then you could use this array to reference clips dynamicly or on stage to do stuff.I was trying to do the same with AS3 but came across a problem I've not found an answer to yet. I created the following code:
Code: Select allvar letterArray:Array=new Array("A","B");
var buttonArray:Array = new Array();
//
[code]....
Now with the line:
Code: Select allvar currentButton:MovieClip = buttonArray[i];
I get: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@369e8581 to flash.display.MovieClip.but if I remove that line, it works. My problem is that I need to make it a "var" of type movieclip before I can assign a listener to it. Why can't I build an array of movieclip names using:
Code: Select allbuttonArray.push(["button"+letterArray[i]]);
I have seen arrays in the past that contain:
Code: Select allarray(mc1,mc2,cm3, etc...)
but notice that it's just using the name of the clip and not array("mc1","mc2","mc3", etc..)

I have managed to get data out from Mysql database. All it returns to me are:
1) Name of the button
2) Where it link to
3) Number of Buttons for the menu
So now, how can I build a menu of buttons such that I can display according to the database return on the number of buttons? I have already create a movieclip which is the image of a single button. With dynamic text on top of the button in the movieclip.
I just need to loop it thru the number of buttons and display the buttons on screen. But I can't seems to get it right. I have looked through the XML dynamic menu but it's not very similar to mine as I'm using PHP script to connect to the database.

So I've found many people trying to do this[URL].. but with actionscript 3.0 and not 2.0.
I'm not a coder by any means, but I've kinda translated most of it except for the scrolling part.
This is what I have so far:
[Code]...
as you can see, some of it is hidden as I was afraid to delete things I might end up needing later. The position of the gallery is at an exact place, and the xml file is perfect. The only problem I'm having is with the scrolling part. I keep getting an error in the function scrolling code that says that a property of mask_mc is being called wrong. I also have learned that the createEmptyMovieClip is not as3 but as2, and that that is also wrong. I'm just trying to get the scroller to work.

I have created an image thumbnails MovieClip, that has bunch of thumbnails in it.Problem is that there is no scrolling in it. I cant specify any width or height of the movie clip to limit it.I think I have to use Mask, but not sure how or even if it is the right approach.All I need to do is for the thumbnail_container to scroll if the number of images are more then stage can show.

I'm developing my portfolio and want to add a horizontal scrolling dynamic gallery (see files). In order to achieve this I combined Lee Brimelow's tutorial on a horizontal scrolling gallery with a tutorial onhow to load images dynamically into a gallery. So far so good... It all seems to work except for the fact that the gallery has to detect the number of images in the scroller and adjust it's width accordingly (which it doesn't do yet). Also it has to make sure it doesn't scroll out of the containing MC (you'll see what I mean when you open the files; it also doesn't do that just yet).

The end product should look like: Scrolling thumbnails along the bottom (or side) of the page, scrolls controlled by users mouse.If the user clicks on a thumbnail a larger version of the image loads above or to the side.So far:I have the scrolling images doing as I want! The thumbnails are all buttons.
The problem:I can't get the larger image to load. I have tried creating a movie clip with the larger image in and attaching an Attach Movie script to the button - but it doesn't work.Using Flash MX 2004 and I am not fluent in Action Script - so far I use tutorials and try to alter script to fit what I am after.

I am trying to make a photo gallery with a scrolling menu at the bottom. I have made both a photo gallery and a scrolling menu with tutorials but I can't figure out how to combine them so that they work. I've tried for quite a while now and I think that the problem comes from the scrolling menu which requires that I put all of the symbols I'm using into one symbol called panel. Is there any way to combine the code without completely rewriting it?
Here is the code for the photo gallery:
PHP Code:
this.onLoad=function(){
loadMovie("image1.jpg", images_mc);

[URl].. but I want the mouse move up and down as well instead of being just right to left.
I believe it has something to do with "Z" as well az "X" and "Y"
To be more specific I want to be able to build something like this[URL]..when it comes to navigation,simply to be able to move the screen according to viewer's mouse, up, down, right and left

I've created a scrolling thumbnail gallery that draws images from a blog feed. I would like for it to loop itself after all the thumbs have gone through so the first image of the 2nd loop is immediately after the last image of the 1st loop.

I am making an xml driven gallery, with scrolling thumbnails that sit along side of the main image, in a column. These thumbnails scroll depending on the mouses Y position over the column that they sit in. If the mouses position is below the halfway point of the column, the thumbs scroll down, and then if you go above the halfway point the begin to scroll upwards they scroll up until you reach the top image, and it stops...
However, my problem is that when the thumbs have scrolled to the bottom image in the column, unlike when it reaches the top, the scrolling function doesnt stop, it just keeps going until the thumbs have completely scrolled out of shot. What I would like to do is make sure that, the scrolling function stops when it reaches the bottom image; the same as how it stops when it reaches the top...
So if the bottom image rises above the bottom of the column that holds the thumbnails, the thumbs stop scrolling, and will only be able to scroll upwards. Here is the code for the scrolling function that I have:
ActionScript Code:
thumbContainer.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollThumbs);
private function scrollThumbs(e:Event):void {
if (thumbContainerMask.hitTestPoint(stage.mouseX, stage.mouseY, false)) {

I am creating a vertical scrolling gallery with two buttons but I would like to make it looping, so when you get to the last photo and you press the "forward" button it jumps to the first image. I have gotten this done, but it's now stopped to the last image and you have to scroll back to get to the first image..[code]

tha'ts part of a bigger project, but i've isolated the bug in this source : [URL]
the fix i would like :
-seeing the whole first pic and whole last pic when scrolling to the border left and right
-placing the first pic at x:70 at start, and enter fullscreen
if someone may have a look on this , that's only a 2 mn fix for a skilled as3 programmer, but for me a headache

I have this project. It is an image gallery with scrolling thumbnails that when you click them will load the larger images. However, I can not get that part to work. The thumbnails load and scroll, but when I click them I get an error message.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I am trying to create a vertical scrolling gallery. In the past I've created a horizontal scrolling gallery but can't figure out how to switch the horizontal scrolling gallery to a vertical scrolling gallery. I know I need to change the positioning of the movie clips from horizontal to vertical just not sure what to change in the code.
what I would need to change in order for my horizontal scrolling gallery to become a vertical scrolling gallery?
code:
digital_artwork.onRollOver = digital_artworkOver;
function digital_artworkOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrolldigital_artwork;

I am building a gallery which scroll the thumbs according to mouse position. It all works but I try to tell the scrolling to stop with the last thumb on each side, and there I am stuck. I attach the scroll function. The inner if statement is meant to stop the scrolling at a certain point (the 800 is just a number I try, I need to make it more flexible). It works when the mouse move to the right but does not work when it moves to the left.

I am attempting to create a basic Flash website to promote myself online. To do this I require a scrolling gallery of images on one of my pages.I have found and implemented a tutorial online allowing me to have a scrolling gallery, but what I need to do is include it within the rest of the pages I have created. I don't know how the code I have used for the scrolling gallery works, to allow me to use it, inside the root level page.The script says:
_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{ if (_root._yMouse<594)
{[code]....
What I need to do, is put the scrolling gallery feature 1 level INSIDE the site, instead of on its "root". When saving the scrolling gallery feature as a movie clip, I coped the frame it was on and pasted that on the "images" page, within the navigation bar movie clip where the other page contents reside. ie Contact, Animations, Intro, etc.When doing this, the gallery is present on the page once the "images" tab is clicked on the navigation, but only the scrolling thumbnails are present on screen, and not the blown-up main image each of the thumbnails refers to, so when clicked on, no main image appears.But when placed on the "root" or outer-most layer of the site, the gallery works fine.I really need to know how to include this scrolling gallery feature WITHIN the navigation bar with the other pages, how can I do this? What actionscript could I use as a replacement to the "_root", to make the gallery function correctly?

I'm attempting to create a thing where my thumbnails will scroll across the bottom of the page, like when you put the mouse on the right it scrolls right and visa versa. I found a great tuturial only to realize halfway in that it was done with Flash 8, therefore apparently quite a few things have changed. And this is my first stab at FlashThe first place i noticed is when my motion tween didn't work, so I instead created a 'Classic Tween' finding it had the same affect as 'Motion Tween' in Flash 8, however as I progressed in the tut, I don't think the results were the same.
My images scroll but after creating a _xmouse<40){........prevFrame, there only continue to scroll, the prevFrame command doesn't work!So to my question...does anyone know of a good tut for this type of thing for CS5? OR, is anyone really familiar with both Flash 8 and CS5 and e differences for what I'm attempting to create?
