View 1 RepliesI've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?
The function below belongs to an XML based photoGallery.swf... Its menu is automatically populated from the same XML file as well (thumbnail picture, title, description). The pictures load into an empty mc called imageContainer.In another empty mc called textContainer, I would like to load some text.swf from the xml list as well.How would you include that in the code?
Code:
function loadTmbs () {
var tmbs:XML = new XML ();[code]......
I am trying to recreate a banner I did awhile ago for this [url]... it needs to be the same thing except I need to be able to change the photos in the banner by just changing pictures in a folder.
Is there a way to do this and still keep all of the fading properties and loop?
I am working on a new website and for some reason I decided to go with AS 3.0 ... of course there are some problems. I am not a programmer ..just a designer but as3.0 fascinates me and decided to go all code on this(nothing on stage).Here's the thing : I am loading some pictures from xml, and for now I stored everything in 1 movie clip.What I want to do is store each picture into a separate movie clip and then all this movie clips in to the big one that I have now and reference them from there.This is my code to load the pictures into 1 movie clip.
function loadAllPictures2() {
var mainLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mainRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(picturePathList2[e]);

I am working on making a flash site for some lingerie that I made. I have some experience but not much. Instead of placing each image into the video, I would like all of the images and corresponding text description to appear upon loading the page. Do I use XML for this or can I just create a complex array of where the image is located and its corresponding description and then program a function to load it?

View 5 RepliesI have made an application in flash, which is more like a photo/video gallery, in it, an event(birthdays parties) can be selected and a scroller appears which contains the thumbnails of all the pictures of that event, and one video appears in another panel,basically one video per event(birthdays and parties) is supported.My problem is that pictures are around 50, and there size can be around 2 MB, sometimes it happens that whole flash CS3 hangs, it is too difficlt to use the application this way...near impossible..these pics are loaded dynamically through xml file and i have used loadMovieClip.loadClip() method to load pics to movieclips and loadMovieClip.onLoadInit() method to resize them to make thumbnail and the main picture in the gallery

View 3 RepliesI was taking a look at this great site at the link interior Design. How it's done that gallery? I noticed that the pictures are loaded in order, before they are asked to be shown. When the user clicks on the number of the image, it has already been loaded by the swf.
View 5 RepliesI am making a site with a scrolling photo gallery. The site is located at [URL]I have a scrolling thumbnail gallery that is perfect for me. I am happy with it with one exception. I used the loadmovie function to make it and for some reason it takes a long time on slower internet for the movie to initially load. What i would like to do is have the movie open up fairly fast and the individual pictures can load once they are clicked. I want to use xml however i don't know how to do it.
I would like to keep the same setup on my photo page but i want to use xml because i think it would be better on loading. I am interested in this type of gallery. [URL] I found this online and put it on my server. I love this gallery I just want these effects and xml layout in my gallery. I dont even have to have the cool fade effects i just need the site to load faster and the pictures to load individually.
how to unload my already populated xml gallery,before loading new content here the functions i want :
following 2 functions will be called by a button :
removes previously placed objects
function clearLoadedPictures():void {[code]....
I'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
View 1 Replieshow to control the display of pictures by date?
I want to display images based on the date. Then it changes to the next one. For example for March it would be picture: img01.jpg and for April I would like the flash movie to automatically load the next picture: img02.jpg.
[URL]. It's a tutorial that shows how to create a photo gallery and load the pictures and comments via XML. My problem is the following, the gallery and everything works well, but I when I try to load it into a container then everything messes up. Here's what I have: I have a main movie (the main .swf file) with a container in it, when clicking on one of the buttons from that movie the gallery.swf loads into the container (the gallery is the exact gallery from the tutorial) and it works well, until I press the button to load it again.
It seems that it messes up the value of "p". I tried tracking it, on the first load it tracks normally p=1, 2, 3, 4.... but on the second load it reacts as if it's double tracking it p=0 1, 2 2, 3 3, 2 4 ... It seems that Flash somehow keeps the old value of "p" in mind. I tried reseting it somehow or something but I can't seem to make it work (or maybe I have to rebuild the whole thing?).
It works perfectly if I load it only once but if I load the gallery.swf twice or more times then it goes crazy (or since I have more buttons on the stage, after pressing one and coming back to the gallery, it does the same, it's messed up). How can I "reset" the value of 0 on every load or something? I even tried playing around with unloadMovie but can't figure out how to use it.
A couple days I started a topic about how to load a folder of pictures into a flash movie(photo gallery).
With some tutorials I almost got it but something is not working very good.The images are displayed to big. They apear out of the box they should be in.
I dont know where to look anymore... is there someone that can take a look at my files?
I will attach them in a .zip file. (the "img" map is empty because the file was to big)

View 1 RepliesI'd like to learn the correct way to design flash sites in the direction of the Kirupa tutorial found here:Although that's a hellava lot more complicated than what I'm doing now, I see the point of minimizing the layers in my movies as much as possible.So, I've begun using attachMovie to load my movies to the stage at runtime. This has dramatically reduced the layers I had in my main movie. Now, the site has just two layers: one for actions and the other for invisible buttons. The invisible buttons sit exactly where the movie clip buttons will appear at runtime.I'd like to know how I can load the buttons at runtime, basically reducing my main movie down to an actions layer. Is this possible or even recommended as good practice?
