ActionScript 3.0 :: Gallery Component - Center Contents Inside Flash
Jul 18, 2011
I have used a gallery component from flashXML.net. The problem is that the component makes internal stage conflict between my project and the gallery component, witch is embedded in my flash. The gallery works perfect, but it makes the scaling of my site totally wrong when I go back from the gallery to the rest of the site. Now I have override the problem by putting this code:Code: Select allstage.scaleMode="showAll"; on the frame where the HOME-button in the gallery is jumping to. The only problem now is that the site is about 20% off center at the left side on some screen resolutions. How I can get all the content perfectly centered?
I have just successfully displayed the contents of my 'gallery' xml in a grid layout to my stage. My issue is I have a fairly small area to work with and I need to put these inside a custom scroller. The custom scroller I have atm displays only text (via a TextField and URLLoader) from a txt file and I'm confused how to alter it to load my gallery images (from my xml) instead. Can I load images from the XML into the textfield? Is there an easier way of doing it.
I am building a gallery inside of flash using the UILoader component and some buttons. UILoader is preloaded with p1.jpg.I have written script to allow the button to go to the next picture in the folder like so:[code]But instead of going through all the pictures sequentially it gets stuck on p2.jpg. It only advances after several clicks and then goes back to p2.jpg. Can anyone tell me why it is behaving like this? Thanks.
I have a flash website that takes up 100% of the browser, I want it so that when I resize the browser, even to its smallest size, I need the flash content to be perfectly centered. Ive researched quite a bit and ran into the "Stage.align" property but when I use it it gives me an undefined error. How to use this properly?
I've got myself a gallery which is generated from the contents of an XML file. (I just followed this excellent tut!)
I've decided that its too much hassle to update the XML file everytime a new image is added to the directory, so I'm thinking about using PHP to build the XML file. That means that going from PHP->XML->Flash. Can I just go straight from PHP->Flash? All I want to do is get a list of files in /directory_x. Are there any obvious benefits/drawbacks to either method?
[URL] On the left you will see a menu, it will be flash (actionscript MX 2004) and for the effect I want it will have to be flash. Now, heres the tricky part for me: I want those links to open up different pages inside the black center box either using frames or php. How could this be done? On the menu part, also, with the buttons, I need to make them movie clips for the effect I need for the rollover, but I want the movieclip to have a hitspace, how do I assign a movie clip a hit space.
I have a website and i decided to make it in flash. In my website i have a image gallery and 2 places where i want to put the text. I want to make some buttons which change the gallery content and the text in one box.
How do I make a photo gallery that up dates by itself its contents getting it from a folder and putting then in order? The pictures when clicked should load a swf with information about the tittle.
I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
created in flash. The issue i am having is when an image is loaded it always appears on the left handside attached to the top left point of the stage. Is there anyway i can get these images to load in the centre of the stage? This is the AS that is attached to my flash document.
Actionscript Code: function initGallery() { function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild; total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
modified the XML photo gallery tutorial that uses thumbnails [URL]
The tutorial demonstrates the thumbnails beginning to scroll when you reach the right hittest button.
What I am trying to do is have the thumbnails scroll in either direction horizontally in relation to the center of thumbnail scroller, like this example demonstrates- [URL]
I know that the hit_left and hit_right buttons are what is being referenced to trigger the scrolling, so I'm assuming that the solution lies somewhere in the if statements inside the thumbNailScroller function.
I've got a tree component on the stage that the user can add folders and questions to. I need to write the data from the tree into a database as the user adds items and then re-build the tree from the database when the user re-opens the program. This works fine except the client wants the user to be able to delete and move items within the tree.
I'm not sure how I can track the position of items within the tree so that it re-builds the tree (from the database values) in the same order as it was when the user closed the program?
At first, I thought I would just add the getDisplayIndex of the selectedNode, but that changes when you expand or collapse a folder, and it would also mean that I would have to update a number in each database entry any time the user moves a folder or item...
I'm thinking the only way I can get around this and ensure the db tracks the latest treeview is to provide a "Save" button and make the user hit that (instead of hitting the "Accept Changes" button which currently exists for each item & folder and just updates the database on each new entry). With the "Save" button, I could just copy a new database on top of the old one (removing all the unique id indexes) and then write to the new db. Not the end of the world, but it seems more ponderous and less intuitive. Plus, if the user enters hundreds of items, it could take time to write the entire db each time...
I have an accordion component that contains 3 list components and 2 tree components...there are all the components from the flash library of components...and I need to print the contents of these 5 "lists"For now I'm concentrating on the lists...then I will worry about how to print the trees with all the nodes expanded...but I can't seem to figure out how to determine how many items are in a list.
I have built a gallery similar to the one found on Kirupa with a siding thumbnail gallery that references xml. Everything works great except that the images I want to load at their large size vary in width so when they load referencing the upper left hand corner they are not centered. I would like to load them so that each image in centered in the "picture" image area. I created a new movie clip and gave it the instance name of "picture" and center justified it but the images now load with THEIR upper left corner in the center of the "picture" image area. do I have to add code to the xml? is there anything I can ad to th AS to load pictures centered?
I have two components. One is called "InsideComp" and one is called "OutsideComp". OutsideComp has InsideComp as one piece of its component, and in my main MXML file, I have embedded an instance of OutsideComp. How do I access a public variable of InsideComp within my main MXML file?In Actionscript, I could just do something like:OutsideComp.InsideComp.valToChange = 5; But I dont know how to do it in MXML. I know this is probably an easy question.
I'm try to build a photo gallery using the flash components SlideShowPro and ThumbGrid. I have put ThumbGrid inside a movie clip called thumbs_mc that slides in and out when you mouse over it to show or hide the thumbs. That part is working, but I would like to have the stage and thumbs_mc resize to the browser width with ThumbGrid centered inside thumbs_mc.
Resize and scaling the stage and movie clips is not a problem, but I can't figure out how to keep ThumbGrid centered inside the containing movie clip. ThumbGrid is a fixed width component, and the only way I can get it to work is to have the mc the same width as the component. Here's the part of the AS that I'm using to control the positioning now:
I have a dragable gallery of images separated with "contentSpacer". I'm trying to make each image "snap" when it is close to the centre. I've modified this [URL] and got it working, to a point. My problem is the x value that the gallery being snapped to needs to have "contentSpacer" subtracted from it: if its the third image in the sequence then it need to have ("contentSpacer" * 3) subtracted from it (as there is three gaps between the start of the gallery andthe end of the third image, get it?). In the code below I've put (proximity - (contentSpacer * j)) but "j" does not exist right now, you see what I'm getting at? The code doesn't seem to be aware what image it is snapping.
In Flex, how to put some component ( like canvas ) appear at the center of the screen. ( even if there is scroll, it should be displayed at the center of the current view).
I use a s:Group to place my component in my form.I'd like all form item have the same horizontal align inside the group.I try to use horizontalcenter with value 0 but it doesn't work.ve that.
I am creating a custom component in Flex with extends the BorderContainer class, and I would like to be able to place additional content within the tagset when I use it in my main application, like this:
<components:CustomComponent title="Hello"> <s:Label text="If you have one enter it below:"/> <mx:Spacer height="15" />
[Code]....
This works just fine, except that my component definition had some additional things inside of it, such as a <s:Label/> and styling, which is replaced by the content within the tagset above when I go to use it.
If I do not put anything within the tagset, the content that was originally in the component is not replaced.
Is there a way that I can simply append additional content inside of the component when I go to use it, instead of it being replaced each time?
I have some questions about centerting your SWF inside a browser using actionscript 3.0. - How can I center my main SWF inside the browser without stretching the the swf? I just want it to be center both horizontal and vertical when you resize the browser. - I found some tutorials but it is only referring to just ONE movieclip. What if I want to center the whole stage? Is there any other way to call the stage that has content in it?
I'm using a Datagrid which has an itemRenderer that contains an image :
protected static function hbox1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { //some action }
[Code]...
I want to dispatch an event on click, so when I click on the image I do an action. However, It is giving me an error when do that. I did some search and the suggested answers were using outerDocument and ParentDoecument .. both didn't work.
How can I access the click handler function (hbox1_clickHandler() in my code) ?
Okay I have this problem and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Here is an outline of what is happening:1. I have a movie clip that contains two components, a combo box and a check box.2. The combo box has the instance name "comboBox", and the check box has the instance name "checkBox".3. The movie clip is exported for actionscript with the identifier "test".4. I run the following code:
i have the following code which works. Its for two buttons either side of a movie clip (holder_mc) which holds the images. The images load but their top left corner go to the 0,0 position of the movie clip (top left). My images are all different sizes and i want them all to be centred. I have looked at alot of threads and cant figure it out.
I have loaded the images inside the movie clip, however, only one loader content aligns to the center,particularly the last one loaded in loop.How to align all loader content in a loop?other options with this kind of scenario.
