i am relatively new to flash and actionscript 3 but i have been recently making a website and i have got to a stage where one page is pulling in SWF's via an XML document. There are left and right arrows which load up the next/previous SWF. The right arrow works fine, it loads the next one up and then due to some AS3 code when it gets to the end it loops back around. The left arrow goes back a frame until it comes to the beginning and it wont loop to the end. Below is a copy of the code that i am using. I am aware that i need to create the event listener for the arrow and i am fine with that, its just the function to go with it that i am struggling with.
i'm trying to modify the slideshow for multiple xml gallery. I have the code on the first frame and I want to load another xml (aria.xml) ,but if I use
Im a noob at flash and am stuck making a photo sideshow application. I would like to be able to point the flash file at a folder of images, which are then all put into the slideshow and played through.
I've made a website using AS3 in CS5 Flash, I then decided to add a 'Slideshow Gallery' into the site. I made a new page, called it 'gallery' (this page is made from frames 73-86) and then looked at making a slideshow.[code]...

I'm trying to create a slideshow in a gallery. I managed to make it work but only if you first click on the slideshow button and then you click on one of the thumbnails. I haven't been able to do just by clicking on the slideshow button. This is the code I used in summary:
Code: package galery { public class GaleriaFotos{ public function GaleriaFotos() {
First off let me say that this forum is a lifesaver. I managed to figure out the links in xml file myself, but I cant seem to get the next/previous buttons working the way I want them to. I have got them to work to the point where they will bring up the next image, this is until it gets to the end of the xml node, then it wont start over from the beginning if I hit next. Here is my code:
anyone know of a good tutorial with more albums, slideshow on/off, setting timer, and maybe transitions. Could some off this also be set in a config.file?
I just completed a great tutorial on doing an xml slideshow at URL...Would love to add a timer function by adding a button called auto slide show which lets the user select it and have the slideshow automatically fade in and out all the images in the xml file. I think this could be achived using the get timer function but not quite sure how to integrate it.

I have two buttons which can switch through photos (previous, next). But I also want to play the gallery on it's own. Just like a slideshow. The buttons though need to function properly!
how would I go about preloading these images right before they can be accessed and so it doesn't screw up (i.e.) press back button too many times fast and the pictures don't animate..would it be something where I would preload every image separately and have if else statements.
I want to make the scroller vertical for this very impressive XML: [URL]. I've been trying and have been getting somewhat close to accomplishing this but I feel like I'm hacking up the code to get there.
I am trying to create a slideshow from a premade gallery script I found once. The reason for using it was its ease of use. However I have encountered some issues that I really want this slideshow to have.
1. Automatic Change to the next image with a Pause Button.2. Also I want to understand how the desc_text instance reads the <Caption> tags in the XML. I intend to have a Heading Option as well, but I can't seem to find a logical answer to do it.
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code].....................
I've got a little test swf showing what I've made so far: [URL] What I'm wondering is how to add a play and stop button to this, I've set it up as separate scenes for each image, but my concerns are when there are maybe 20 or so images to flick through, some users may prefer to just click play, as is common and let it do it automatically...(but I don't want it to load playing) I'm not sure how you'd go about producing a script that starts playing on press of the play button from whatever scene you're on
I'm using a version of XML Slideshow Photogallery that loads slideshow.swf (and other pages) into master.swf. It plays good the first time through and when I trace myInterval, I can see it increment 1,2,3 ... with each slide. When I go to another page and then come back to the slideshow - the myInterval will skip a couple or I get 2 values at the same time. This causes the slideshow to display every other image (or every 3, etc). I can see that the problem is from not clearing the myInterval variable properly. The clearInterval(myInterval); function seems to just clear the last instance created. Is there a way to clear all instances?
I am not a programmer, but have managed to combine the slideshow, image gallery and hover features of the provided scripts to create a slideshow that you can control with the previous and next buttons. I have also been able to connect it to an access database so you can control the images / info through Content Management console. once this has been sorted I will post the code here, if its any use to anyone. Here is the script!
I'm working on an xml driven flash website where clients can modify an xml file directly to change the appearance of the site (eventually i'll make a flash/php dashboard GUI). The site will have listings each with a photo.I'm trying to find a way around having the clients have to crop images to thumbnail and enlarged view size themselves. In other words the images would be displayed scaled to fit within a movie clip.
I am trying to use rhamejs slideshow (located here) and I would like to move the scroller to a certain position on the stage but I'm not sure how to do it. My stage is 900px wide with a nav bar along the bottom. All I want to do is move the scroller to the right of my nav buttons and left of another button that is in the far right corner. I would like to stay within that space which expands depending on your browser/screen size. The main stage is set up to resize based on browser/screen size and all the nav buttons are anchored. I basically need the left edge of the scroller to be 535px from the left edge of the stage at all timesI need the right edge of the scroller to be 185px from the right edge of the stage at all times. I have tried editing these lines but after the width of your window gets to a certain point, the thumbs stop scrolling or disapear completely:
Does anyone have a link to a tutorial that will show me how to make an image gallery that has an automatic slideshow with manual controls, a multi-page thumbnail bank with manual controls, and a preloading system that would be good for about 160 images at about 1024x680? I don't really know any useful actionscript, and I've managed to find a hodge-podge of tutorials but I don't know how to tie in all the parts to make what I want.[url]...
how can I modify the embedded photo gallery slideshow from Google's Picasa to auto repeat the pictures, i.e. play them over and over again? This is the code Picasa gives me for embedding in a website:
Related to this, are there free tools that take as input a Picasa username or a set of photos and automatically create a thumbnailed gallery, which is embeddable using Flash in any website?
i have an xml driven photogallery with thumbs and the slideshow starts automatically and is cross fading and it has a next/play/pause/for buttons. Everything is fine but i don't like the way the thumbs scroller operates, it's way to mechanical and i would love to add an easing effect to it. How do i do that? this is the code of the whole gallery:
I've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.
i am trying to put some things together following the tutorials on this site. I did the tutorial 'Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash'and I followed it step by step and uploaded it with all the necessary files onto my remote server (xml file, Gallery folder, fla, swf, and html) - however, when I test the movie with flash, it seems to work fine (except the description test, my question to that later), but when I test it online it shows only the first image (but displays the correct number of images in the gallery); even when clicking the next button, it keeps loading the first image the first image. In other galleries (I use the structure for multiple galleries for my portfolio) the first image never loads at all.
Also, about the description text, in between the <caption> and </caption>, can I use <strong> and <em> and <br /> to change the appearance of my text? All it says is 'null'.If you want to look at what I mean check out my portfolio in the making. The problem with the first image displaying only is under 'paintings' and both the projects in 'design - packaging'. The second problem (no picture loading at all) is on some of the buttons in 'design - identity' (where I have not changed the description text of the tutorial yet). Again,
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 have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.
So I have made a basic slideshow on flash for a website. Nice but simple, 3 images fading in and out. But I want to make a slideshow that moves either vertically or horizontally, but most likely at an angle. I also want some text to either fade in or move as well. So I have a few questions.1) What is the best way to get th pictures to move at an angle? I have read some xml options for editing in dreamweaver, can't seem to find one for moving the picture.I would imagine you have to edit it in flash? Yes I'm new to flash!2) I take it you edit the text in flash, could it be dynamic text and what is the best way to move it?
I have created a slideshow based on the template for slideshow provided by Flash and some other blogs posts i have found.I have a layer with a picture on consecutive frames.I have another later that has just my text to display always.I have created another layer called Buttons and in the first keyframe i typed stop(); And added buttons by draging and dropping <back button and > foward button. I used script: for the back button [code] I have gotten them to work if you hit the button, it changes to the next picture.I want the pictures to continously play and i want to add a Pause/Play button .If you hit the pause it will stop and then you can resume the slideshow by hitting the button again which will be a Play button. I cannot #1 get the show to just move on its own (i guess i have to add additional frames to each photo?)
