ActionScript 3.0 :: Fading In Thumbnails As They Load?
Aug 3, 2010
I know I've seen a tutorial for this before, but I just cant seem to find it. I have many thumbnails being placed into a container and I would like each thumbnail to fade in as it is placed. Should I be using an Event.COMPLETE listener and then tween the alpha of currentTarget or something?I assume the code would go in/around here:
function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void{
var my_thumb:Loader = Loader(e.target.loader);
container_mc.addChild(my_thumb);
[code].....

I'm loading a background into a background container with the following code:
loadMovie("backgrounds/bkg_wht.swf",bgContainer);
I'd like it to load in a 4 second alpha fading load instead of just a hard load. Any ideas what code I need to write?

I can't work out why - but when I try to fade out some text (by calling fadeoutSecondText), the text fades out, and then immediately fades back in. Fading in and out struggle against each other, resulting in rapidly flashing text!

I'm creating a gallery and having a problem loading thumbnails into different MovieClips. I have all the MCs stored into an Array. I could load them if I wanted to type out:
var thumbLoader1:Loader = new Loader();
movieClipName1.addChild(thumbLoader1);
but I would think there's a more dynamic way. Right now Im stuck at:

I tried switcing the var "image" with a name from the "imageThumbNames" array but that would've been too easy.

Ideally I would like to do the following:
1.Load thumbnails from an XML file.
2.On click load the actual image which again is generated via XML file.
Now in the past I have used XML for a menu system, but I'm finding it hard to come up with this by myself from scratch.
I can't seem to break the concept of how I would set this up.

I'm new in AS3 and i'm having some problems. I'm trying to put thumbnails that are load by xml inside a ScrollPanel.
What happened is that the ScrollPanel didn't have a scrollBar and didnt scroll. I thought that if i put each thumbnail inside a MovieClip and set the height maybe would do the trick. But things got worse because i couldn't be able to put the thumb's inside de MC's. Just put them in front

Why is that?here is the complete code I use to load the images and thumbnails:

I'm using Flash MX 2004 and actionscript 2.0 and have been working with the xml and adding thumbnails to the photo gallery tutorial in Kirupa. What I'd like to do is only show the thumnails onRollOver and then have them go to open a new page outside of the flash site onRelease. So far I found one solution for the onRollOver but I'm not sure it's the best one:
Code:
clip.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
};
clip.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 0;
};
This works great but with one big hitch. It loads all the thumbnails first and then once I run over all of them it hides and shows them onRollOver and onRollOut. Is there a way to hide them when the page first loads and then only start showing them onRollOver? Is there a way to create a mask hiding everything until onRollOver or possibly a setting for the initial mc.borderFill that would create that effect? Or would it be better to try to figure out how to load them onRollOver. The other part is the link to another site onRelease. I have the links setup in my xml but not sure how to set up a geturl onRelease with _blank to read into the actionscript. I'm very new to working with xml and actionscript.

Suppose I want to dyanamically load 10 jpeg thumbnails. I have given them files names "image0.jpg", "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", image3.jpg" and so on.Now, I might write out the code to do it ten times, like this:
var image0:loader = new Loader ();
image0.load(new URLRequest ("images/image0.jpg);
var image1:loader = new Loader ();
image1.load(new URLRequest ("images/image1.jpg");
But it would be much better if I could write out it out in a loop, and have the actionScript assign names to the variables. I don't know actionscript so well, but I feel I want to have something like this:
var [name+i] :loader = new Loader();
[name+i].load(new URLRequest ("images/"+[name+i]+".jpg");
Now I've just made that code up, but there is some logic in it, which I hope makes my question clearer.

I am building a website with an image gallery using XML to load thumbnails and images.
Firstly, I was going to try to make the thumbnails act like buttons, so the mouse cursor would change to a little pointing finger like it does in buttonmode but i could not get this to work.
Secondly, I also wanted the alpha properties of the other buttons to reduce to about 0.75 to highlight the selected thumnail that would stay at its full alpha value of 1. Yet again i could not get this to work either.Can you build this type of functionality into the imported xml data or am I just kidding myself here?

I'd like to dynamically load thumbnails into a horizontal movieclip at the bottom of an image gallery to then allow me to load an image by clicking the thumbnails. I found a tutorial tooad the thumbnails to the stage but I am not sure how to load them into the thumbs movieclip. Here is the code I am using:
var imageLoader:Loader;var xml:XML;var xmlList:XMLList;var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xml/murals.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

I used the scrolling thumbnails to make a buttons that use attachMovie to load movieclips from the library to the stage. I think i have put it together correctly but nothing is loading into the holder.
i was doing testing on the first 2 thumbnails the first 2 chairs in the scrolling thumbnails
I wanted it to load movieclips from the library to the stage in a designated holder
here is the code i used for the scrolling thumbnails-
Code: Select allpanel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;

Is it possible to load backgrounds for the thumbnails in tutorial http:[url]...Now I have a mc containing multiple white backgrounds at 65x65px, which loads and places it under the loaded thumbnails (like a mask), but I would rather like it to load a singel mc, seperatly for each thumbnail. How can I do that?

Base mc is my empty container movieclip. Basically I have a gallery with thumbnails that load a movie with the appropriate gallery content. The issue is, these movies load on top of the thumbnails movieclip, showing overlap. I could just cover the overlap but I can still click on the buttons in the background. How can I make it so the new movies are higher level or depth than the base movie clip?

I'm developing an app that needs to dynamically load in .png files as thumbnails for an image gallery. I have studied up on the bitmapData.hitTest() method for being able to setup an alpha test in order work around the .png bounding box issue, but have a problem.
I get an as3 error 2005, which OK I can understand in some cases, but it is pointing to a parameter that makes no sense at all. Here's the error:
ArgumentError: Error #2005: Parameter 0 is of the incorrect type. Should be type BitmapData.

I used the tutorial "Adding Thumbnails" to build a fotoshow. Adding another xml-file I have the problem,that I cannot reload(?) the thumbnails correctly.[code]Then I do not see any thumbnails,if(!) the new thumbnail list contains fewer elements than the old one and if the old thumbnail list was scrolled over the hit_right field before.It is seemingly necessary to reset the internal state of the movieclip. But how can I accompish that?

I've got a website with three links to three different thumbnail galleries. When I click the link to a gallery that has a lesser number of thumbnails, it fills the difference in numbers in with thumbnails from the previous gallery.

so I have this scene in Flash where a song plays. However, once everything is done on the scene, the screen fades and it goes to the next one. I put a layer in the next one that stops the music, but it just suddenly stops without fade. Also it doesn't matter if I select FadeOut because it will still suddenly stop. If I put Event instead of Stop, the song just keeps playing.

I'm trying to mix the simple photo gallery code with the xml gallery. i'm trying to get the images to fade in and out like the simple gallery, yet have all the features of the xml gallery. I'd like to do this without making two different movie clips/xml files, like the simple gallery. Again, any help would be terrific. I'll post the two codes.
simple gallery:
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0], _root.photo);
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {
// make sure pIndex falls within pArray.length
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length;
