I am loading the XML slideshow which is done in as2 (the tutorial Leed did) into AS3 swf. The swf loads fine and it even loads the first image from the xml but the left and right buttons do not work.
View 2 RepliesI 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 two separate slideshows in my document. The slideshow on frame 1 uses ixia_works.xml, the slideshow on frame 5 uses ixia_windows.xml. wrote all of my slideshow code on frame 1 and created a variable to hold the xml file. On frame 5 I assigned the new value of the variable. The slideshow on frame 1 works perfectly; the slideshow on frame 5 won't even load.
Code on frame 1:
//in order to work with tweens, necessary to import tween classesimport fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;import fl.transitions.easing.*;

i am using a slideshow template that I purchased and I wanted to get the images to load randomly, I contacted the author but he wants me to pay him extra for this and I have no money left for this project.basically, I'm looking to add a line to this as2 file that would make the images load randomly without repeating and then start over when the cycle completes. I tried putting in an array but it caused all kinds of errors.

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.
how can i make this slideshow [URL] to load the jpg's in random way ?
View 2 RepliesI'm building a slideshow using only ActionScript, but the computer running it will only have access to the files when the show is first started. So I need to somehow load all the images initially, and call on them from within the file itself from then on.

I modified an existing slideshow script so that it would like to a page when you clicked the image. However, the images do not always load up in the correct order, but the links and descriptions do, so if you click an image it takes you to the wrong page.
It changes when you refresh the browser and acts differently in ie to firefox - in ie it is usualy incorrect the first time, then goes ok once u refresh. The link to view is: [url]. and the actionscript is[code]...

View 1 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.
Here is the script:
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below
var randomNum = 0;
var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent container
var container_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);

I wanted to create a slideshow in Flash MX 2004 using the instructions given in the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash tutorial on this site but I wondered if someone could tell me if I would be making the right decision using this technique considering the following: My slideshow will be used for a menswear clothing company, so the images will need to be on the left and then on the right would be all the information relating to that image/item of clothing - no problem so far but...
I've already set up a slideshow the "long way" with 20 or so images as well as their related information on different frames - the images are on one layer and the descriptions are on a separate layer also. I've got a couple of buttons controlling the navigation back and forth between the frames and I've also got a preloader on frame one to load everything beforehand. The problem is that I'm worried about people on slow connections, that they'll have to wait an unreasonable amount of time before all the images are downloaded, so I thought that using the dynamic method outlined on this website would be useful and save downloading time, but I wondered if it was possible to keep all the information relating to the images on separate frames and just have the images import dynamically? The reason for this is that the information to the right of the images is quite long with information given about style numbers, sizes, descriptions and even colour square graphics are inserted to display available colours etc, so I'm thinking that it's probably not practical to dynamically load this information but to keep them on their separate frames as I have them at present, and also all this information is on top of a simple graphic interface on which I'd like to keep the info vertically centred. So is there a way to have the images load dynamically, and if so how would I get them to load correctly onto the right frames that match their relevant information? Can someone tell me if it's possible to use the information in the abovementioned tutorial to do what I want? Or can you tell me if I'm choosing the right method - I mean considering all the information including colour squares that will appear to the right of the images, do you think it's impractical to choose the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash method? Also I'm not even sure if loading the images dynamically will improve things - I mean the images still have to be downloaded right - will loading them dynamically just mean that they'll load one at a time as the user navigates through the slideshow and if so won't this cause delays for the user in that they'll have to wait for each image to download before they can proceed forward to the next item?
Does anyone have any info on creating a slideshow that loads external images? I only want to load about 10 and then for it to end on a final frame... just not sure how to do it.
View 3 RepliesI made a basic slideshow that loads and plays photos with comments from an xml file. I've just uploaded some new photo's and edited the xml to include them but now flash stops while loading the series of photo's and just stalls. Removing the files from the xml does not work either and now I have no movie. Tried various was of uploading etc and nothing works, the movie runs fine in testing locally. It's extremly anoying as it was designed to be very simple to update with new images via the xml.

I managed to get the swf to load fine on this page (www.diamondraindesign.com) until I added a full-screen invisible button that goes over the slides. It uses the same counter to sync with them so that whenever someone clicks on it they go to the proper page. Unfortunately, now only the link works to the first page item, and sometimes I can't even see the slides 'loading' text, just a white background. If I take the link button out, the slides are fine. Why is the link interferring, and how do I get it to sync and not stop the slides?
View 11 RepliesI've constructed a dynamic slideshow using ActionScript 2.0 and PHP/MySQL. The reason for this, aside from update purposes, is that the slideshow will eventually display over 200 images. Thus, to save loading time and bandwidth, I decided to use PHP to pull ten images from an SQL database, formatting the output in XML. The slideshow itself works fine. Unfortunately, there are a couple of issues I need to address; my ActionScript is extremely rusty, so much of my work's patchy.
The code's displayed below:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("getData.php");
[Code] .....
The code in red is my main focus. It's the loop which loads all images as movie clips using the XML information from an array. The loop loads all of the images, making them transparent before the presentation begins. What I would like to do instead, to save loading time, is to load the next image while the current one is displaying. The function "moveSlide" controls the transition of the images, so I'd imaging it'd be best to plade it in there.
There's already an incremental variable being used, with _root.target_mc, for removing transparency from the current slide. The code in blue is also nagging me quite severely. I retrieve the next chain of slides by simply contacting the PHP script again. The only way I could think of doing that was to refresh the slideshow (this is done COMPLETELY in ActionScript, with nothing on the stage). Unfortunately, I could only work out how to reload the whole video.
I am new to Flash AS3 and I was following a tutorial from Lynda.com to build my website. Realized there were some things I wanted to do that they didn't have in their tutorial but I searched the net and figured it out. Now I am stuck again.
I recently made a slideshow in Fireworks and want to it to load when a user clicks to the Portfolio page on my time line. Fireworks exports the gallery into an xml and index.html that has code to automatically load the swf that contains the slide show.
Hello All,
I have made a photo slideshow following exactly the following page:[URL]..It works very fine in my local computer. But, after I uploaded the files (SWF, XML, JPGs) to server it does not work well. Some photos are loaded, some not. There is no problem in path settings in XML. All images are in the same folder. Moreover, the photos are not same which loads sometimes, sometimes not. For example, I can see that photo no. 1, 3, 5, 9 are loaded and rest are not loaded. Again, if I visit the page/slideshow after some times, photo no. 1, 4, 6, 8 are loaded, rest not.
Is there any way to force the SWF to load all the images one by one and not to skip an image.
Even, if I visit the tutorial page [URL].._slideshow.htm I can see that the example SWF file given at the starting of the tutorial is doing the same behavior as that of mine. For example, right now I can see that the slideshow in this page is stopped at the image "Boston" (image no. 8/10) and it skipped the image "Dome" (image no. 6/10). Sometimes, it will stop at another image and may be, skip another image.
I have a simple slide show that just uses timeline tweening(no actionscript) named slideShow.swf I have another swf named loadSS.swf that I load slideShow.swf into, this file has a preloader in it. I have a 3'rd swf named loadLoadSS.swf that simply loads loadSS.swf. The preloader in loadSS.swf works fine when I run it standalone. When I run loadLoadSS.swf the slideshow runs but the preloader doesn't.
I don't want the preloader to run on the final destination because it's a website with a long timeline and many levels and the slideshow will be shown in many places and it just gets complicated. If the slideshow can just provide it's own preloader life will be much simpler. slideShow.swf has no AS loadSS.swf has this AS:

I have all of the resources and code to run a dynamic show, but I am attempting to build this on Oracle's Content Management System“ Stellent. Stellent does not allow us to access our external XML files or external assets such as images, js, swf, etc.
The best way to go about building our slideshows for use with this CMS is to make them fully integrated in themselves. The downside, obviously is a larger filesize, but does anybody know how I would go about building this into itself, instead of externally?[code]...

How can I make these adjustments:
the slides always fade in after the preloader. I would like a preloader for the first picture but then have the picture show until the nxt image has loaded instead of showing a preloader inbetween. It would also be nice if the images could then blend over instead of just having the nxt image fade in.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a slide show using actionscript that changes the images automatically. I have the script for a slide show that has buttons to let the user change the slides. It gets the images from a specified folder (which I want it to do- they are all named 1.jpeg, 2.jpeg...etc which makes it easy to update them) and loads it into an image holder named (imageHolder). There is a function called nextImage which loads the next picture, but at the moment is controlled by the buttons. I'm not sure how to get it to change images automatically using actionscript.
