Not sure how it works, but the kind of gallery I'm looking to put together is similar to the one found in the portfolio on this site:Im not sure but I understand that while the thumbnail loads it's also loading its cooresponding image into the gallery as well. Just curious how they are creating that loader, where you see the picture while it's loading.

I have added a movieclip "thumbTxt" to the library with a dynamic text field "tipText" in it. I would like to attach it to the thumbnail, add the label from the XML and position it above the thumbnails. I have tried attach movie and I am just at my wits end. I have googled and can't find a solution that works for me. I have a feeling it is something simple that I am just not seeing.
I used the tut on here to make my own photogallery with scrollable thumbnails and have run into a snag. My thumbnails share the same height but vary in width and, for some reason, are overlapping and/or appearing in the incorrect order.As you can see the first 4 thumbs and the 6th thumb are okay (they share the same width) whereas the 5th is missing (actually it is about 10 thumbs down, overlapped with another). Here's the code (taken from the "Adding Thumbnails" tutorial on this website.)[code]

I have created a sliding thumbnail viewer for a slideshow in flash, however I would like to load the thumbnails from a folder so that when the images in the folder change the flash file is updated.At the moment I have the thumbnails as buttons contained in a movieclip,allowing me to click the thumbnail to load up the fullsize image in the slideshow. Can I load the images from a folder with this set up?

The problem I think is on the bolded part. If I replace ref["thumb"+i] for say thumb0, it loads the first thumbnail into the first movieclip. I have on the stage ten movieclips with instance names of thumb0. thumb1, thumb2, etc. What I would like to do is to load a thumbnail in each movieclip without having to write the bolded line ten times.

Who knows how to get this kinda menu: [URL] to only display a certain number of items per line? (I'm referring to flash file down the page a little that says "Choose Thumbnail" on it. The source code for this flash file can be found on page 2 of this tutorial)
As you can see, it currently has 4 thumbnail images, and all 4 of them are displayed on 1 line. But what if I wanted to tell Flash to only put 3 per line (thus 3 on the first line and 1 on the second). This thumbnail image menu is dynamically loading data from XML, so if I wanted to add more images to the XML file, I wouldn't want these extra images added to the same line as they would run off the page! I need them to load under the existing ones..
url....and they are using some kinda loading bar to load thumbnails of images, actually i saw that i many site, and i am bit curious about it.could any one help me out to code this loading bar?
View 3 RepliesIt's been 2 days and counting since I started to debug my code to make it work and It's eating up all my time and I don't think I'll hit my deadline If I don't start asking.
The gallery is working well, It can load the thumbnails smoothly without returning any error. However, the thumbnails doesn't load as expected, I think because the smallest file size gets to load first. So if thumbnail[3] is the smallest, it'll attach itself to thumbnail_container[0] which it should always be thumbnail[0] to thumbnail_container[0] and so on.

I've got a basic dynamic XML gallery on my website and I noticed that thumbnails in the gallery do not load on slow internet connections. They load only when I enter the gallery for a second time. The debug flash player doesn't throw any errors. Is there maybe some loader property that allows longer timeout for the loader to finish loading?
View 3 Repliesi have a problem with setmask. in my current project i used a thumbnails which are loaded via xml. if user click on those thumbnails then in the stage a movieclip loades an image correspondent to the thumbnail and the loaded image will ba mask itself on the background image that is loaded previously. for that purpose i used onEnterframe in the onRelease function of the thumbnail. but the problem is that when user click on thumbnails it will do the all the jobs but stop loading to other thumbnails.the code is below:

I am trying to load a group of thuimbnails using Moviecliploader within a class function. Only the last image is loaded onto the stage. can anyone point me in the right direction, I have been wrestling with this for a couple of days.

Any way to dynamically see how much memory the Flash player is taking up? I am loading in hundreds of thumbnails using a search box, and I want to make sure assets are off-loading properly. Also, the thumbnails are being loaded in one at a time in a for-loop. The thumbnail addresses are being received via an XML page. When I load them through the for-loop, some of the thumbnails never load. Most of them do, but I find spots where they don't. Most important question is about the flash resource manager! Is there one?
View 12 RepliesI'm working on a portfolio site that I'm pretty much done with, but I'm having trouble with the loading order of the thumbnails on the site. The work in the portfolio is grouped into clients, and within each client, there are thumbnails that display the selected work. This will probably make more sense if you can see what I'm talking about: [URL]. (Only the first two clients are enabled at the moment). Specifically, when the page is first loaded (from a web server) the thumbnails show up in the wrong order. When the page is refreshed, the thumbnails are displayed in the correct order.
The thumbnails always display in the correct order when being viewed locally, or in the Flash Test Movie environment. I'm pulling in the data from an xml file into an array, and iterating through the elements of the array with a for...next loop, I'm loading the thumbnail images with a MovieClipLoader instance. Using the onLoadInit event, I then set the horizontal position of each thumbnail clip. As much as I'm looking for reasons why the order could be switching. I suspect it has to do with which thumbnail image finishes loading first - in which case, how to force the images to load in the correct order. Maybe I should use if...then and load the next thumbnail only when onLoadComplete fires?
There are probably a dozen threads on this subject on this forum and for some reason nobody ever comes up with a solution. I propose once and for all we solve it. Considering it all stems from a tutorial on this site you'd think somebody here could do it. The Problem Sometimes, but not always, when loading thumbnails they become jumbled or overlap one another. Here are some example photos of what we mean when we say this: Working Not Working As you can see, in the second scrolling thumbnail bar, they're overlapping, or jumbled/stacked on top of each other.
Reproducible This seems occur when switching from one gallery's thumbnails to another. For example, clicking on Gallery1 and then quickly clicking on Gallery2 before Gallery1 has finished loading will cause this to happen -- most of the time. If not, clicking back and forth between the galleries will eventually make it occur. It is reproducible, but not 100% of the time. I believe this has something to do with the position in the loading loop, but I'm not sure. The Code Here is the code in question:

I'm trying to display some Facebook video thumbnails in a Flash application, all of the video thumbnails I try to load seem to be hosted at [URL]. However [URL] cannot be loaded (Access Denied). Is there some way around this? (other than loading the images through a proxy). Maybe an alternative url which can be used?

1.) Need a nice loop for loading all thumbs, most important it should be physically separated, should not be looped via code.
