ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Flash Image Gallery With Dynamic Text Filtering
Jan 29, 2010
I am trying to build an image gallery that will be dynamic, for example if a person will choose show me image gallery of products of price over 200 $ , he will see those products only, if he will choose back he will see all products images again... for better understanding what i need to do is something similar to this : [URL]
I have a Flash photo gallery working from an XML file. The gallery has two types of photos, internal and external, described by the value 'type' in the XML file, like this: <type>int</type> or <type>ext</type>What I would like to be able to do is filter the images, when the user clicks either an 'Internal' or 'External' button, so that only the appropriate ones show.I have tried reloading the XML then using Code:liceto remove elements of the array where the value of <type> does not match the value of the filter, but the elements are not being removed.I have also thought that I could check the type of each image as I click the 'NEXT' button to load each one, but I'm having trouble skipping more than one image, i.e. moving forward to the next image with the correct filter value.

I have created a slider menu that moves when the arrows are clicked on either side. The images for this menu are loading dynamically from an xml file onto a 'container' in my fla.I need desperately to also be able to add text underneath those pics.
Code is : import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*;
I'm working with actionscript 3 and have a trouble. I need to write player where users will see text on the front of the movie. The text is text field of type "Dynamic text". The problem is that I need to make this text object transparent for mouse move and clicks.
I tried:
.mouseEnabled=false; .selectable=false;
when I click on it - it does not pass clicks through it.
Does anyone know where to find examples, tutorials or source files on how to integrate flash with backend to create a dynamic image gallery that can easily be updated?
making my image gallery, but it only works as each image in the array is clicked. Now I am trying to make the gallery move automatically to the next image in the array every 5 seconds while still giving the user the ability to click on an image to view the one that they want.Here is my code so far (like i said it works great, but only as a click-able gallery):
Trying to make a dynamic gallery that pulls images (along with names and dimensions) from different folders on the server. Want clients to be able to drop new images into these folders and have them pulled into the gallery dynamically. Do I need to use PHP as I did with AS2? or can AS3 pull the image names and dimensions from the folders on the server?
I'm having some problems with the XML/FLASH Photo Gallery Tutorial ([URL]). When I load the swf file into another movie the dynamic text will not display. Any thoughts to why this is happening.
I am trying to create a dynamic image showcase for my homepage, which consists of a series of images fading in and out.I have created a flash file, with movie clip (empty) with an instance called "imageLoader"Then using some available AS I have called in the image (with a preloader function.) see below, the script has been pased on scene 1, frame 1.
startLoading("picture1.jpg"); function startLoading(whichImage) { loadMovie(whichImage, "imageLoader");
The picture loader is working well and the text too but it doesn't work so well together. When I'm clicking on a sticker, the picture is load and a text too but it's not the good one.
I have dynamically loaded buttons (thumb) and images (galImage) going to container_mc and full_mc containers respectively. I can't get the buttons to stay down when pressed using MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP. When I use CLICK instead, they all stay pressed. [code]...
I need to create a dynamic image gallery. The files are defined in an array like imgs = ['img1.jpg','img2.jpg']; then I loop through the array. The images should be arranged horizontally..
Code: this.imgs = ['test.jpg','bla.jpg']; var x = 0; var y = 0; var i; for (i in imgs) { var t = this.createEmptyMovieClip ("thumbnail" + i, i); var c = t.createEmptyMovieClip ("picHolder", 0); var thumb = imgs[i]; c.loadMovie (thumb); c._x = x + i * c._width; c._y = y; }
I have made a site for an artist with a dynamic gallery using an xml file. I am trying to create a way for him to update the gallery by simply uploading his new photos through a html form. I have an image upload form which puts the images in the directory which the xml file references but I cant figure out how to generate a new xml file to show all the new pictures. Are there any easier ways to achieve an updatable gallery?
I'm trying to create a gallery where each thumbnail you can click loads a different set of images (and unloads or removes the previously loaded gallery).
Follow up question on Filtering XML based on multiple params - Flex.I was trying to create the Query part dynamically so that params and the keys take over for building the criteria part. Just to show:
//building a dynamic query like this var q1:String = "descendants ("E1" ) == "111" )"; Alert.show("Query>>"+q1.toString()); // Output: descendants ("E1" ) == "111"
[code]....
A comment here Filtering XML based on multiple params - Flex says that the expression inside the parentheses should not be a string. Agreed.So, is there any other approach to filter out multiple parameters in XML than to use the descendants(), which currently is not working out because we are building the search query dynamically, based on the params searched?
I have modified hga77's gallery and made some changes with the style. I am still having some problems and need three things sorted out. Well, two aren't essential but the first one is.1. Most importantly, On Load I need the first image in the XML file to load in and have a border.2. Get the percentage preloader working.
I've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.
I want to create a Flash file so a user can check boxes to filter what images are displayed--the (unfiltered) images would come from an XML file. Or, a MySQL database if that's easier. Is this possible? If so, how?
I have created a list of MC's with dynamic text via xml to create a list of mc Buttons. All works well as I wanted, but as th elist is too long i want to create a scroller for these, anyway when I apply the mask and test this all the text dissappears, they are there as the links all work but the text seems to have turned invisible, want am i doing worng.
I am creating each mc button dynamically like:
var venueBtn:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var venueTxt:TextField = new TextField(); etc
I've been watching a tutorial on making a thumbnail photo gallery with Flash. Unfortunately the only tutorial I could find that explained everything step by step was for Flash MX and I'm using Flash CS4. It seems that the scripting code is different. I've never written Flash script before. I am trying at this point to give a rollover effect to a thumbnail image, so when the mouse goes over the thumbnail the thumbnail will get brighter. The code given in the tutorial didn't work, but by looking at the debugger messages it seems like the script should be something like:[code]I converted the thumbnail to a button symbol and then created an instance of the button called thumb1. The code is applied to a keyframe.
