ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Loaded Slideshow?
Oct 2, 2008
I've been charged with the crusade of making a prettydifficult (to me) slideshow. This is what the client wants:1. externally loaded images2. externally loaded text (comments for each image)3. the timeline of the slideshow to be dictated by the numberof externally loaded images.Now, ive made tons of slideshows with 1. and 2. before, butthe request for 3. totally screws me up. I usually have a setamount of images that will be used, and accordingly, set up thetimeline using empty movie clips that use the loadMovie command todynamically grab images from a specified folder. They fade tweenover each other and everyone is happy. However, if I were to make amovie with item 3's parameters, I can't define a predeterminedtimeline. Im sure this can be done with actionscript but I am 100%c

I made a movie with 3 slide shows on Level_0. Those slideshows are .swf files that are loaded into blank movie clips on the stage. Each .swf that is loaded into the file is a dynamically loaded .jpg slide show. Everything is working great, except that I want the 3 slide shows to pause when the user presses a button.

now a customer wants me to make a Flash intro in her (ASP MVC) site. The scenario is this: images are stored in the dbms. Every image belongs to a category. Depending on what category is selected, the corresponding images should be fetched and played in a flash player with "transition" effects (hope i used the correct words).How can a slideshow (swf) be created dynamically?

I wanted to create a slideshow in Flash MX 2004 using the instructions given in the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash tutorial on this site but I wondered if someone could tell me if I would be making the right decision using this technique considering the following: My slideshow will be used for a menswear clothing company, so the images will need to be on the left and then on the right would be all the information relating to that image/item of clothing - no problem so far but...
I've already set up a slideshow the "long way" with 20 or so images as well as their related information on different frames - the images are on one layer and the descriptions are on a separate layer also. I've got a couple of buttons controlling the navigation back and forth between the frames and I've also got a preloader on frame one to load everything beforehand. The problem is that I'm worried about people on slow connections, that they'll have to wait an unreasonable amount of time before all the images are downloaded, so I thought that using the dynamic method outlined on this website would be useful and save downloading time, but I wondered if it was possible to keep all the information relating to the images on separate frames and just have the images import dynamically? The reason for this is that the information to the right of the images is quite long with information given about style numbers, sizes, descriptions and even colour square graphics are inserted to display available colours etc, so I'm thinking that it's probably not practical to dynamically load this information but to keep them on their separate frames as I have them at present, and also all this information is on top of a simple graphic interface on which I'd like to keep the info vertically centred. So is there a way to have the images load dynamically, and if so how would I get them to load correctly onto the right frames that match their relevant information? Can someone tell me if it's possible to use the information in the abovementioned tutorial to do what I want? Or can you tell me if I'm choosing the right method - I mean considering all the information including colour squares that will appear to the right of the images, do you think it's impractical to choose the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash method? Also I'm not even sure if loading the images dynamically will improve things - I mean the images still have to be downloaded right - will loading them dynamically just mean that they'll load one at a time as the user navigates through the slideshow and if so won't this cause delays for the user in that they'll have to wait for each image to download before they can proceed forward to the next item?

I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.

I've completed all 3 tutorials listed on gotoAndLearn and I've got the following code.[code]So as you know I've got my 10 items dynamically loaded out of XML, as well as the MC Box, which is centered on the stage.My question is, how would I get the carousel to rotate around the centered box. I'm not sure how to adjust the depths to go behind the centered mc. I know [code]is probably where I need to make an adjustment, but I'm lost as far as what to do.

I've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9);

On the timeline where the movieclip is located I have the following code:loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9); On the movieclip itself I have this code in order to create a fade in:
onClipEvent(load){this._alpha = 0;speed = 10; // change this to change fade speed}onClipEvent(enterFrame){loaded = this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal();if(loaded == 1){this._alpha += speed;} else {this._alpha = 0;}if(this._alpha >= 100){this._alpha = 100;}}

I'm having problems accessing a function that I loaded from a MC I have in my library. Addchild and all that stuff works, I just can't run the function inside these dynamically added movieclips.[code]But the moment I add .myTest(); to them, the one in button clicked works fine, but the other one fails and causes a compilation error.

What I am trying to do is load the attribute of name into separate MC's that are clickable to then once clicked have the MC "txtBox" load what is in the attribute "link".As it stands now the name of the buttons is loading perfectly, but the trace is bringing back an undefined value
Code:

importXML.ignoreWhite = true;
importXML.onLoad = function(success)

I have a problem on resizing dynamically loaded swf in to a flash movie. The senario is
1) swf files are uploaded by users and the path of the swfs(flash banners) are taken in to the flash via flasvars.
2)so swf uploaded for each user is displayed in a loop
The problem is user may upload swf with different sizes.So I want to re size them to main movie size(ie 500*70) So what i tried to do is using MovieClipLoader and fix the size in onLoadInit function.But it gives really different sizes
than expected.
I cant understand why flash behave like this.
1)Can i resize the extaernal swf by using above method?or
2)what is the approach to re size dynamically loaded swf s?

I am new to Flash and am trying to make a page that has a fullscreen image gallery with individual thumbs along the bottom. I can more or less figure this out using some templates,but I need to do this for over 50 different projects, each with anywhere from 1-100 images.Is it possible to make more of a container that dynamically loads from a folder of images rather than have to make each one by hand?

I just want to center my dynamically loaded movieclip, into it's container box. Not center on the stage, but make it center with the container_mc it loads in.
You know when you load a external swf, it loads from the top left corner. How can the loaded image or movie load centered instead of aligned top-left?
I am actually using the XML thumbnail gallery here at kirupa. [URL]

i have a dynamic textfield that is being populated from a data base...now, i'd like to be able to refresh that content either onRelease or using something like setInterval..I tried setInterval (see code below) but what i think is happening, being that xml has to load, is that it's hogging it down causing a flicker/pause and eventually not pull anything up(assuming from the lag/load)
Code:
setInterval (refreshbox, 1000);
function refreshbox () {

I have several external SWFs loading into another SWF shell that contains all the files. The problem that I am running into is when some of the external SWF's are loaded into the shell the links stop working. I am using the getURL script to call a javascript function on one link and the same getURL on another link to call the mailto function.
When I test these files on my system and the web, both individually and in the shell, everything works perfectly. However, as soon as I embed the shell SWF into an html page these links don't work and won't do anything. But other links in different external SWF using the getURL script to simply navigate to another html page works perfectly.

I'm trying to center a dynamically loaded jpeg to the stage. The jpegs are loaded via xml to a movie clip called 'picture'. I have the code below which works fine on my computer, however, when trying it on a live server I sometimes get a problem where instead of centering the image, the image ends up with its left edge aligned to the center - which suggests that the code didnt get the image width properly. This only happens sometimes, not all the time so must be something to do with how its loading.(code is partly based on xml slideshow found on here somewhere)
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();[code].....

I have the following code to dynamically load an external JPG into a movie clip which is called target_mc, and get its width. As follows:
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc", 0);
target_mc.loadMovie("images/dogs.jpg");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
[Code]....
Now, I was hoping to be able to duplicate this image several times, using something like target_mc.duplicateMovieClip(). Unfortunately, the duplicated clip doesn't include the dynamically loaded JPG. ie, it makes a copy of a blank movieclip.

I am trying to make a flash blog and basically I need to be able to load in text from an xml file into the different text fields I have setup and then I need to read the height of the loaded text so I can position the next post correctly below it.
Code:
blog_xml = new XML();
blog_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
blog_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[Code].....
This code returns the height of the text field BEFORE the xml text is added, how to make this script wait until after it is added.
