Making a photo slideshow to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed. Here is a link to the .swf file: [URL]. There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear! I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other. When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.
View 2 Repliesi 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.

View 1 RepliesI have been dealing with this for a while now...I cannot seem to be able to accomplish it...I am trying to load a slideshow swf as background of my main swf, but I want the images to fill the entire browser.
so far I have loaded the slideshow on my main timeline in an empty movie clip, but the resizing does not work right away...I guess because the empty movie clip has no size in the beginning...when I resize the browser window then my slideshow becames visible.
I have a website with a portfolio showcase. In this showcase I am trying to use xml to load external.swf's that are also loaded through xml...
I have two swf's. The 'showcase.swf' is the website, and the 'gallery.swf' is one movie which is a slideshow using xml to load external images. I want to load the external 'gallery.swf' into the 'main.swf'. The "gallery.swf" and its xml file is in a folder of its own, and every time I try to load "gallery.swf" from "showcase.swf" flash is search for the xml in the "showcase" folder and not search for it in "gallery" folder.
People have recommend to use "_lockroot = true", but its not working for me.
Previously I've done all the monkeywork by hand on the timeline, but now I need to make an automated slideshow for an image portfolio that collects pictures from an external folder (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc...) so I can just upload variants of the image without having to change the flash file each time.
I'm also hoping to include fading transitions and an easy way to change the amount of time each image is on screen.
A client is asking for a slideshow to embed into a web page. The slideshow will have a thumbnail bar with arrows on either side to switch to the next or previous batch of thumbnails.This slideshow needs to be linked to an external file that will contain pictures submitted by visitors to the site. The pictures will automatically generate thumbnails that will call a large version of the image when clicked on.My current knowledge about flash and AS3 coding does not enable me to do this. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not possible at all. It sounds like something that needs to be handled by a content management system.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash CS3 slideshow that loads it's content from an external .xml file.

View 3 RepliesI have a slideshow posted at url....My client is saying it takes too long to load, and I am finding that it is loading all of the photos first before you can scroll through and view them.

Maybe there's something else going on?I have attached the script from the original fla file.

I've used the so-called "Barney's Slide Menu" for some websites I've built. eg: www.mediashox.com
As some of you may know, this is built in AS1. I'd like to load an xml slideshow into this menu [which is on level0, of course]. But it seems all xml slideshows are built in AS2 or later.
Is there any way I can load an xml slideshow into this Barney's menu? Are all xml driven flash movies AS2 or later?
I'm trying to load a slideshow swf into another flash file using this script and a blank movieclip on stage:
ActionScript Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("phHolder", 1);
container._x = 150;
container._y = 20;
loadMovie("photography.swf", "phHolder");
I have tested it with a simple tester.swf that is just a black square with text on and that loads in fine. However when i try to load my slideshow it doesn't appear. I get all of the output from it but it isn't visible.
I have attached the slideshow. As i guess there's something in there that's messing it up.

it loads the images and text from xml. I need this to load in two images simultaneously, 1 picture and 2 the color bar over it.. becuase each slide needs to have its own color.
I added a node in the xml file shown in red here.

View 4 RepliesI used the script below for a slideshow in Macromedia Flash MX2004. The images are in the folder images.xml (and believe me, I checked the names many times). But now the problem: when I load this slideshow, it shows only 3 photos, whereas there are 10 in my folder which I need to show. After the 4th photo I get only black.... it doesn't continue. I cannot figure out what the problem is! Anyone who is more clever out there?

Is it possible to load a Flickr slideshow into a Flash website?
I know you can load it into an HTML page, but I want to load it into my 100% Flash website. However, I can't get this to work. I picked apart the HTML embed code and pieced it back together as a URL that gets me exactly what I want, but Flash will not do anything with it.

View 2 RepliesI have designed a "Before-and-After" slideshow using Alpha tweens to slowly fade one image into another. The effect works great, however, it seems that the effect only works on the first time the user enters that page. If the user clicks the "play again" button, I reload the .swf and want the effect the play again, but it just moves from the first to second image, without the alpha effect transition.Is there some way to "reset" the .swf to replay the alpha tween effect? why it would have this behavior? The site and effect are purely actionscript, so I cannot do something like "goToAndPlay(1)" in the last frame, the entire site is only in the first frame.

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
