I'm new in AS3 and i'm having some problems. I'm trying to put thumbnails that are load by xml inside a ScrollPanel.
What happened is that the ScrollPanel didn't have a scrollBar and didnt scroll. I thought that if i put each thumbnail inside a MovieClip and set the height maybe would do the trick. But things got worse because i couldn't be able to put the thumb's inside de MC's. Just put them in front

I am trying to load some thumbnails into a ScrollPane via XML. I have all the thumbnails loaded but like so many other people they just sit on the top of the ScrollPane in the top left corner of the Stage.
Code:
var thumb_spacingY = 140;
var thumb_spacingX = 40;
menuXml = new XML();
[Code].....
I'm creating a gallery and having a problem loading thumbnails into different MovieClips. I have all the MCs stored into an Array. I could load them if I wanted to type out:
var thumbLoader1:Loader = new Loader();
movieClipName1.addChild(thumbLoader1);
but I would think there's a more dynamic way. Right now Im stuck at:

I tried switcing the var "image" with a name from the "imageThumbNames" array but that would've been too easy.
I have a MovieClip inside a ScrollPane. Inside this MovieClip i have buttons. What i want to know is: how to click a button inside a Movie Clip, that is inside a scrollpane, and make it load a swf outside the scrollpane?
View 2 RepliesI'm more of a Flex than Flash developer so I'm hopeful this is something easy. Short story, I have a scrollpane in a flash-created swf. In my pure AS3 project I dynamically create menuitems within a new movieclip.
[Code]...
I've a container in a scrollpane with some vertically ordered movieclips in it (one on top of the other). I have another container of movieclips that I can drag into container 1. Once the new movieclip is dragged in, the other clips move to make space for it. Also, the clips in 1 can be dragged to a new position, and the other clips move up or down to accomodate the moved clip.
I did it using a lot of x and y positioning. It works, until I use the scroller. Then the positioning gets all screwy. My thinking now is to use arrays, but I'm wondeirng if it's possible when you're pushing an item into an array, to push it into a certain position in the array? So, push it into position 15 for example? How do you tell Flash to add an item to a certain array position?
Im trying to make a flash map game.Now i have got items in a Movieclip and want this Movieclip into a scrollpane component but i have got probs cause the dragging dont go outside of the scrollpane.
Here is my Code
container.mc_item.buttonMode = true;
container.mc_item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown);
function onDown(event:MouseEvent):void {

I'm trying to make a photo gallery using AS2 and XML, my thumbnails work fine, a reflect added via the Reflect class works too but I'd like to attach a movieClip to my thumbnails so that when you roll over it, this movieClip starts to play. I've tried the attachMovie method after the loading of the thumbnails (onLoadInit then) but it's still not working !! The same attachMovie to the scene works but not when I try to attach it to my thumbnails, I think I've got some trouble with the targeting of my thumbnails or with the place in the script where I try to do the trick
Code:
var monTableauSrc:Array = new Array();
var monLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var monListener:Object = new Object();
var monXml = new XML();
monXml.load("galeries.xml");
[Code] .....
I'm making a gallery using MovieClipLoader&loadClip. I follwed a tutorial and everything works fine, although the preloader is just plain text. I want a graphic preloader instead, so I imported in the library a gif, turned into a movieClip, and linked it for actionscript, but I can't find a way to attach it to the thumbnails.
This is my thumbnails function:
Code:
function callThumbs() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
container_mc._x = _root.gallery_x;
container_mc._y = _root.gallery_y;
var clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
[Code] .....
I've tried creating an empty movieClip and using attachMovie inside onLoadStart & Progress, but nothing shows up. Here's a link so you can see exactly how the actual preloader is [URL]. So basically instead of the percentages as text for each thumbnail I would like to place in a MovieClip with my own loading animation.
i am using ScrollPane to load some swf. I zoom content and use "scrollDrag = true and false ". But if i use scrollDrag = true, and than scrollDrag = false and in the content was some movie clips, that have some AS on it(maybe onPress) it will be DISABLED! every script is disabled on the MC-s what was in the content of the Scrollpane.
View 3 RepliesI'm using AS2 in Flash CS4. I have a web site that needs to show either Japanese or English text, depending on which option the user selects. My code works well, but when I try to load the text boxes into a scrollpane on the news page, the text doesn't show.so my code is very simple.

I'm trying to load a predesigned/predefined movie into my scrollpane and I'm not able to.
[URL]
is where my code is. I'm currently able to load an empty button and work through. But I need the code to load test1_btn and test2_btn. The XML file will finally contain just the name(s) of such predesigned buttons (symbols) in the name attribute and the destination link will be in the goto attribute.
Looking through all the xml gallery examples and tutorials i havent found the simple thing im thinking of, which is to just have the imgs loaded through an xml into a plain old scrollpane so that the spacing between the thumbs is constant. Ive understand the code that spaces the loaded imgs based on a fixed variable, but that is when all the thumbnails are the same size and mine are all the same height, but the widths varies, so i feel i need the code that places the next img to be loaded based on the previous thumbs location._x and its ._width but i cant figure this line of code out which i bet is only a one-liner.
View 7 RepliesI'm working on a project, and trying to get the Flash CS3 ScrollPane to work.
Ok trying to load some jpegs into a scrollpane dynamically.
I opened a new Flash file, and got it working with the following script:
Code:
this['scrollpane'].contentPath = "empty_mc";
this['scrollpane'].content.attachMovie("content", "inst_content", 1);
this['scrollpane'].content['inst_content'].loadMovie("sax.jpg");

I know I've seen a tutorial for this before, but I just cant seem to find it. I have many thumbnails being placed into a container and I would like each thumbnail to fade in as it is placed. Should I be using an Event.COMPLETE listener and then tween the alpha of currentTarget or something?I assume the code would go in/around here:
function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void{
var my_thumb:Loader = Loader(e.target.loader);
container_mc.addChild(my_thumb);
[code].....
Ideally I would like to do the following:
1.Load thumbnails from an XML file.
2.On click load the actual image which again is generated via XML file.
Now in the past I have used XML for a menu system, but I'm finding it hard to come up with this by myself from scratch.
I can't seem to break the concept of how I would set this up.
import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
recentMsg_bt.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,resentMsgClick);
var sp:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();[code].......
Everything works just fine, except for the last msg gets only half displayed as if the scrollpane wouldn't scroll to the end.
I'm trying to load jpgs to my scrollpane dynamically.I noticed the compiled scrollpane component in flash 8 is very large in size (> 130kb) which i cannot afford to use. Instead I'm using the flash 6 scrollpane which is not precompiled and only several kbs after compiling to swf. However, I have problem rendering loaded dynamic contents onto the pane. The first load after starting flash 8 was always successful. After that, it fails. In case anyone's interested, I have simple test code to demonstrate the problem, and have uploaded it to http:[url]... (you'll need to wait for 10 secs before the download button appears on that linked page).I'm just wondering what is the best choice of a small size scrollpane that handles dynanimic MovieClip.loadMovie() well.

I'm building an XML based gallery, and I used the kirupa tutorials for that (both of them).but I wanted a grid look for the thumbnails and I found this great post by ikim just for that:So I managed to suit the code to my gallery and everything is going good.but there is one problem:when I press the button that loads the XML (WITH THE THUMBS), they load like they supposed to:but when I press again on the button, they load like this:and stays like this.. Why is that?here is the complete code I use to load the images and thumbnails:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

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 RepliesI'm using Flash MX 2004 and actionscript 2.0 and have been working with the xml and adding thumbnails to the photo gallery tutorial in Kirupa. What I'd like to do is only show the thumnails onRollOver and then have them go to open a new page outside of the flash site onRelease. So far I found one solution for the onRollOver but I'm not sure it's the best one:
Code:
clip.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
};
clip.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 0;
};
This works great but with one big hitch. It loads all the thumbnails first and then once I run over all of them it hides and shows them onRollOver and onRollOut. Is there a way to hide them when the page first loads and then only start showing them onRollOver? Is there a way to create a mask hiding everything until onRollOver or possibly a setting for the initial mc.borderFill that would create that effect? Or would it be better to try to figure out how to load them onRollOver. The other part is the link to another site onRelease. I have the links setup in my xml but not sure how to set up a geturl onRelease with _blank to read into the actionscript. I'm very new to working with xml and actionscript.
Suppose I want to dyanamically load 10 jpeg thumbnails. I have given them files names "image0.jpg", "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", image3.jpg" and so on.Now, I might write out the code to do it ten times, like this:
var image0:loader = new Loader ();
image0.load(new URLRequest ("images/image0.jpg);
var image1:loader = new Loader ();
image1.load(new URLRequest ("images/image1.jpg");
But it would be much better if I could write out it out in a loop, and have the actionScript assign names to the variables. I don't know actionscript so well, but I feel I want to have something like this:
var [name+i] :loader = new Loader();
[name+i].load(new URLRequest ("images/"+[name+i]+".jpg");
Now I've just made that code up, but there is some logic in it, which I hope makes my question clearer.
I am building a website with an image gallery using XML to load thumbnails and images.
Firstly, I was going to try to make the thumbnails act like buttons, so the mouse cursor would change to a little pointing finger like it does in buttonmode but i could not get this to work.
Secondly, I also wanted the alpha properties of the other buttons to reduce to about 0.75 to highlight the selected thumnail that would stay at its full alpha value of 1. Yet again i could not get this to work either.Can you build this type of functionality into the imported xml data or am I just kidding myself here?
I'd like to dynamically load thumbnails into a horizontal movieclip at the bottom of an image gallery to then allow me to load an image by clicking the thumbnails. I found a tutorial tooad the thumbnails to the stage but I am not sure how to load them into the thumbs movieclip. Here is the code I am using:
var imageLoader:Loader;var xml:XML;var xmlList:XMLList;var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xml/murals.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
I used the scrolling thumbnails to make a buttons that use attachMovie to load movieclips from the library to the stage. I think i have put it together correctly but nothing is loading into the holder.
i was doing testing on the first 2 thumbnails the first 2 chairs in the scrolling thumbnails
I wanted it to load movieclips from the library to the stage in a designated holder
here is the code i used for the scrolling thumbnails-
Code: Select allpanel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;

Is it possible to load backgrounds for the thumbnails in tutorial http:[url]...Now I have a mc containing multiple white backgrounds at 65x65px, which loads and places it under the loaded thumbnails (like a mask), but I would rather like it to load a singel mc, seperatly for each thumbnail. How can I do that?
View 1 RepliesI have several mcs that load with the following command:
[Code]....
Base mc is my empty container movieclip. Basically I have a gallery with thumbnails that load a movie with the appropriate gallery content. The issue is, these movies load on top of the thumbnails movieclip, showing overlap. I could just cover the overlap but I can still click on the buttons in the background. How can I make it so the new movies are higher level or depth than the base movie clip?
I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..
I'm developing an app that needs to dynamically load in .png files as thumbnails for an image gallery. I have studied up on the bitmapData.hitTest() method for being able to setup an alpha test in order work around the .png bounding box issue, but have a problem.
I get an as3 error 2005, which OK I can understand in some cases, but it is pointing to a parameter that makes no sense at all. Here's the error:
ArgumentError: Error #2005: Parameter 0 is of the incorrect type. Should be type BitmapData.
