how to load thumbnails from XML (XMLList), and if it reach to image #5 it will keep loading in a different row.
This is what I got now, but it will only load in one Row.
// Start here
var imageLoader:Loader;
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;

I have an XMLList 'Keywords', which consists of about 30 elements. I want to count the number of unique keywords in the List, and how often they occur. Then display the top 3 most occuring keywords.
View 1 RepliesI have a page that I'm trying to build that has a scrolling image bar at the bottom but I want to also show the full size image in flash above the images that come up in the thumbnail array when you mouse over each image in the array. I found some code that makes the thumbnail array work but I have no idea how to display the second larger image on mouse over because its loading the images externally... what can I do? Feel free to email me back.
View 1 RepliesNow I'd like to add duplicates of the thumbs so as to appear like a reflection. Created another loader and loaded each file again. (Tried "ldr2.content=ldr1.content" and many other versions of that statement to try and set the second loader's content to be the same as the first's, but could not get anything to work. So I had to resort to loading the thumbs again.)
Did that. Still so far, so good. Even used the "rotationX=180" trick you guys showed me to flip the photos. Set the ldr2's "y" to "ldr1.y - event.target.content.height" I learned from yous as well. Got that working and now have two rows of photo thumbnails. Just looking forward to applying a mask (something else you guys showed me) to make the reflection fade real nice.
HOWEVER, at run time, it loads the photos into the two rows of loaders in a different sequence. They're displayed OK, and it would work except for the fact that the second row of photos, the ones rotated 180 degrees along their X-axes - the "reflections" - are not in the same order as the first row.
how to control the order in which the XML file is loaded so that both rows of photos (thumbs, actually) match up? Do some things just load faster and appear random even though the same XML file is being used?

[URL]I can change the images and even the number of pieces. When I create a puzzle with a large amount of pieces you can't really tell what the whole image is suppose to look like. So what I would like to do is after the image is loaded and put in the listener, create a small version of that same image so the user can now know what the image should look it.
View 5 RepliesOk so i have looked thru the forums for the past two days trying to solve my issue and i didnt find anything that works. I have the xml thumbnail gallery from the site working here.Its the base code except i change some things so that it would work if i loaded with the mxloader component into another movie. When i try and do so the XML file doesnt load. you can see this here. Im not sure if theres something else that i need to do to make this work or what, but i cant seem to figure it out. all the paths are absolute paths (http://ect...). and even stranger is that it worked like 3 or 4 times when i first started then stopped working. so i dont know if its
View 1 RepliesI am using a scrolling thumnail bar to load external swf with transitions, I got to work using an earlier thread, by including the _parent property, however it loads the same swf everytime. I am really stumped.
heres the code i have actions layer first frame
Code:
currMovie = "swf2";
holder.loadMovie(currMovie+".swf");
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
[code].....
I am loading the swf of this scroll bar into my main project using a button. How do I make a large version of the thumbnail load above the scroll bar?
Here is the code that is on the main timeline:
//Import TweenMaximport com.greensock.*;
//Save the horizontal centervar centerX:Number = stage.stageWidth / 2;
//Save the width of the whole galleryvar galleryWidth:Number = infiniteGallery.width;
//Speed of the movement (calculated by the mouse position in the moveGallery() function)var speed:Number = 0;

I've been going through a lot of tutorials online regarding photo galleries etc., and not many seem to facilitate shrinking the actual photo for use as a thumbnail (possibly due to the performance limitations). My project won't have that problem, as it will be stored on an internal network. basically, I want to dynamically load a picture and shrink it for use as a thumbnail in a gallery.
View 5 RepliesI am loading 20 thumbnails. I am loading 20 large pictures of the thumbnails. Large pics load second, pushed into largePicArray They all load at different times. So I can't just throw them in their own array, and them call upon them by their elements. So I can't push 20 thumbs to array1, and 20 large pics to array2, and hope that their elements are in the same order. It won't happen.
So my Q is this. What is the easiest way to place them in the same element order after they all have loaded? So that, for example, "thumb17.jpg" can be in any element of its thumbArray, and then "largePic17.jpg" would be in the same element position, in largePicArray. If "thumb17.jpg" is in element 5 of thumbArray, I need largePic17.jpg to be in element 5, in largePicArray.
I have a few ideas, but I want to hear ideas. Maybe you know a nice, easy route?
I am working on a website where I want certain images to load whenever a user clicks on a thumbnail. I want a preloader to appear before the image is displayed. I created this so far:
mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loadListener = new Object();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("foto.jpeg", placeholder_mc);
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function(placeholder_mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
[Code] ....
When I preview this of course I see my image, but I want to know if the preloader works. So I hit ctrl+enter again and... nothing. The progress bar (bar_mc) blinks once and then blank... a white screen... Besides, I want this code to be executed when a user clicks a thumbnail, how can I implement this on a button, while at the same time, the first thumbnail should load automatically, so there's no exmpty page when the user first opens the website?
I'm trying to find a way to use the Twicsy API to load a fullscreen of thumbnail images in Flash. When you use the Twicsy API to look for the pics via the [URL]. You get the following results.

How can I write a script to create a wall of images based on the results above?
I have 100 mc's loading external thumbnail jpgs via loadMovie(). I need a preloader of some sort to show the status of the thumbnails. The problem is that each of the mc's are loading JPG individually and I am not sure of how to combine their loading statuses into a preloader. The other option I had planned to use was to make one thumbnail larger in file size than the others so that it would load last and therefore I could use some onload function for this particular thumbnail, but I do not know what would be best to use in this case.

Now i would like to make a loop for the thumbnails so they don't have a beginning or end(Now when i scroll to the right the thumbnails stop at the last thumbnail, i want it to begin at the first thumb again).I'm also trying to make that the middle thumbnail represents the photo in target_mc.
I am making a gallery, which you can view here:[URL]ok, firstly, when you click a thumbnail, you cannot scroll them until you roll off the click thumbnail, and I'm not sure why. is it just a movieclip thing? or can I put some code in to re-get focus of something? ok, now for the two general questions:
1. When you roll over the thumbs, they go up, sometimes they flick back down though, even though you are rolled over them still. is this just because they are moving?
2. Does anyone know why when I add this:

Im trying to create via xml and a for() loop a thumbnails wiewer and each thumbnail have a simple onrelease function.....but my probleme is that my 'container' movieClip and 'BT' movieClip dont show when I export the movie...also when i trace()them the output is empty. maybe is because they are inside x.onLoad(xml){} function ? At the end of the script you can remove // before the trace() function for ckecking in the output panel. here is my code:
xml file: TumbLoader.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><slideshow><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/1.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/2.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/3.jpg" /><photos[code]...
I'm loading an XML file in which each record points to a small JPG for a thumbnail and a larger JPG I'd like to display when the thumb is clicked. Stumbeld upon a cool way to use "this" to keep code tight. But now I can't figure out how to refer to each corresponding image that is loaded into each "big loader" when it's thumbnail is clicked.
I was thinking of initially setting the alpha of the big image's sprite (bgSp) to 0 and changing it to "1" when the thumb is clicked (smSpr). (Would be loading a lot of stuff initially, but the big images would show up FAST when a thumb is clicked). But I can't figure out how to specify which big sprite corresponds to each small sprite. Here's what I've got so far:
[Code]...
Yes, I'm making a photo gallery like everyone else. I'm making it so people can order pics from the site. There are going to be about 500 photos per album in 5 different categories. The photos can be shrunk down to about 60kb a piece. If I use the actual pictures as thumbnails, just scaled down, the total size of all the pics will be about 30mb. I know this is a lot.
Either way, the people looking at the album will most likely look at nearly all the pics so they will be using up bandwidth either way. Plus, if I use the actual pics as thumbs the user will not have to wait to see actual pic when it's clicked on because it's already loaded. A preloader is annoying to me. I do realize a preloader would be wise when loading the thumbs. Just dislike them after you click one for the big picture.
So is using shrunken thumbs a necessity or if the big pic is under a certain size it shouldn't matter if I use it for a thumb also?
Trying to get XML into an XMLList, having seemingly nonsensical problems.
Code:
package

xmlList is alive and well in the xmlLoaded function. I need to access it in the loadMusic.fla.
difference between XML and XMLList in my example code? I am passing a node to the function and extracting the url of the file:
private function getFile(node:XMLList):String {
var file:String;
for(var i:uint=0; i<node.children().length(); i++) {
trace("Test 1: "+node.children()[i].@id);

Why do I have to have 'current' as XML and not as XMLList? I thought XMLList's with length == 1 are handled as XML's anyway, aren't they?
I am trying to parse some XML i have retrieved via e4x in an HTTPService. The loop works and for each episode in the list it goes through the loop. However i get the following error when it is trying to append to an XMLList.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I am trying to query the local SQLite database and see if the episode exists (working) and if it does append to one xmllist and if not then append to the other xmllist.

How can you tell if an XMLlist object in AS3 contains a specific node?
View 2 RepliesMy Flash designer is reading an XML stream I'm sending back to the browser (I'm a C# dev). We have this working fine.
He is then selecting into an XMLList where a element has its id a certain value i.e. . This is also working just fine.
In this XmlList, are Events, that look a little something like this:
event
startdate
enddate
end event
I don't know how to use the formatting here - but each of those items is an element. startdate would have a value such as 04/02/2010 and enddate 6/30/2010.
Now, from this XmlList I do have of Events, I need to select all Events where a new variable myDate, falls in between the startdate and enddate.
I am working with an XML list at the moment, which looks like this:
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="3"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="4"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="5"/>

I have the following XMLList and am trying to return the XMLList with the node having the label Mail Box or Outbox, depending on string variable called folder. folder can either be equal to "Mail Box" or "Outbox".

I'm trying to loop through an XMLList and rather than giving me each item in the list as XML, it's just coming back with the positions as strings e.g.
[Code]...
It just alerts "0" or "1". If I inspect the 'item' variable, I see the same thing. But if I inspect 'myList' it looks like the XML. I've also tried myList.children() and strongly typing 'items' to 'XML' but nothing I do has worked.
What I want to do is loop through an xml file, and assign the contents of each node to a static variable with the same name. [code]...
View 1 RepliesI have this xml file.[code]But I want these node names, example: element,attribute,element in arrayList.[code]
View 1 RepliesThe aim is to get the flat xmllist out of a xml: each item of the xmllist would be a descendant (not just child) of the xml. This way I have all the nodes of an xml inside the xmllist.
For example:
XML=
<a >
<b >
<b1/>
