ActionScript 3.0 :: Thumbnail Bar With Next Prev Buttons
Feb 27, 2011
I need to create a flash photo gallery for their website. I've looked at different tutorials but all of the ones I have found only show stationary thumbnails. What I need is a gallery that shows the thumbnails with next and previous buttons, while showing the imaged that was clicked.
This is an example of what I would like. [URL]
This website gives you the option to turn on the thumbnails, I however do not want that option I just want to the thumbs on.

-Alright so I have made a next, and a prev button. That navigate the timeline inside an mc "tabs_mc." This mc ison the the main stage.-When the next and prev buttons are pressed they goto 1 of 4 frame labels on this timeline inside tabs_mc.-When one of these lables is reached an mc "thumbs" appears on the screen / stage.-These mc's "thumbs1, thumbs2, thumbs3, and thumbs4" contain buttons that SHOULD be clickable.-But are not after the prev, and next buttons are press. They are before the next, and prev button are press, but not after.
way this is or even better how to keep these buttons enabled after the next, prev buttons are clicked?I thought of making some sort of boolean to tell the each button that is needs to stay "true" after prev, and next are pressed.But I'm a beginner so I don't know where to start.Heres the next, and prev button code:
HTML Code:
//Button Listeners
/////next_mc.buttonMode = true;

I have a flash file with a MC "wmc" which contains the following script to randomize labels on load as well as for next and prev buttons to function. I used the prev/next btn scipt in a previous file but for some reason the buttons are no longer functioning in this one. I must be missing something elementary. The actual file is available via the following link (see the "workmc" MovieClip in layer "wimages"):URL...[code]

I have a movie which consists of 4 buttons( PLAY, PREVIOUS, NEXT and STOP)
[Code]...
These buttons work correctly and advance or reverse in sequencial order (slide1,slide2,slide3,slide4). However the movie can run from start to finish wihtout the use of the navigation. My problem is that if I let the movies run independently and then choose to use the next button while(for example) "slide3" is playing, the movie jumps to "slide1". Note that these slide labels are located within movieclip named "allunits" I know that the variable currentSlide is still equal to 1 thus returning the playhead to label "slide1".

I still can not get a basic slideshow with the either thumbnails or prev/next buttons to work. It seems that every tutorial either assumes I downloaded the correct libraries or understand when they are using AS2 or AS3.point me to a "FOOL" proof tutorial or template..I understand the basic part of what is going on but do not know enough AS yet to hammer out the actions myself.

Ok here is the thing, I have the following code on my buttons.

This makes the button animation rewind or play depending on if the mouse is over the button. I want to have this on my buttons but I also want a different movie clip on a different layer to go to the next frame or previous frame depending on the rollover. Basically, I need to know how to add something in addition to:

I'm working on a dynamically resized photo gallery like everyone else and their mother. Everything works ok so far, until I try to add key detection to complement the previous and next buttons already in place. When I hit the left or right key it registers, but the picture doesn't resize the same as if I just press the prev or next buttons. It actually loads the next picture, and then resizes on the follow key hit.

I want a prev / next buttons that brings the one of the carousel images to the center of the stage. Then when clicked again, it moves to the next one. I know that I have to have a code in my button release that checks the focus of the icon and brings it to the center if clicked. I have my buttons in place and everything is working great except calling the next icon over.

I am doing a web portfolio with thumbnail buttons that change the pictures. What is the best way to avoid having to make a new button for each new picture thumbnail? So resusing the button but changing the thumbnail picture in it and what picture it links to? Using CS4.

I'm working on putting together a portfolio website in Actionscript 3.0, and here's my situation: I have four main sections (Home, Works, Reel and Contact). When you first enter the website, it directs you to the Home content, which is on Frame 1. When you click on Works, it is intended to take you to Frame 2 - which it does just fine. On the works page, however, there is a frame to display large versions of the row of thumbnails along the bottom. Frame 2 automatically displays the large image of the first thumbnail, but the second thumbnail redirects you to Frame 3, which is identical, except it replaces the large image of the first thumbnail with the large image of the second thumbnail - and so on and so forth.
The thing is, when I get to Frame 2, my thumbnail buttons aren't working and I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Portfolio_Site_03_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
What I'm getting from this error is that it essentially doesn't recognize my thumbnail buttons because they do not exist on frame 1. I even attempted to move the keyframes with the thumbnail buttons on them to frame 1 and everything was working just fine, except for the fact that I had big thumbnail buttons all over my home page which I do not want to be there. For reference, here is my AS code:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
//---Home Button---\
Home_Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,hClick);
function hClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
How can I resolve my situation and get my buttons to do what I want them to do? My only guess would be that I'd need to make a new scene, but wasn't that one of the major points of AS 3.0?

Intro:I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline: Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"][also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science.

I used a tutorial ("Photo Gallery and Thumbnails: Flash Tutorial!" by tutvid on utube) to create a gallery on my website. I love the thumbnail navigation but, I want it to play like a slideshow when it first opens and I want to add play/pause buttons. I am using Flash MX 2004 and don't know much at all about actionscript or how to make these modifications. I emailed the author of the tutorial to see if it was possible to make these changes his reply was: "Yes, it is possible to modify the file in this way, however I don't remember how I set it up so I wouldn't be able to re-code it for you in this email. I would take a look around the web at Actionscript 2.0 slide shows and see if you can use the code they are using and make it work with your gallery."

It's just a simple navigation thing, with a strip of thumbnails that gets moved left and right with arrows that load a larger picture when each thumbnail is clicked. Basically I would like to move the strip of thumbnails across when you click the arrows, and then when you click a thumbnail it loads the full size image above the strip. This is my thought process for each thing that needs to be scripted.
For the arrow function:
- The arrow buttons need to tell the movieclip to move to the relevant frame WITHIN the movieclip where I have included the tween to the next set of thumbnails. I tried scripting this on the button itself as well as on the first frame of the actions layer and I couldn't get either to work.
- I initially had the buttons within the movieclip because then I could control when there is a left and right button, or just a right button or just a left button (i.e., still more pics to view, you can go back to the previous set of pics or onto the next set of pics, or you've reached the end of the row of thumbnails) but I couldn't get my button to do anything when it was inside the same movieclip as the thumbnail rows. I would prefer to have the buttons work inside the movieclip for the reason described.
For the thumbnail function:
- The problem here, I think, is that I have buttons within a movieclip that I am trying to get to load something to the stage. Here, I tried to add the script to the button within the movieclip as well as the first frame of the sctions layer but again that didn't work either.
- Another important function is going to be removing whatever is on the stage when you click another thumbnail. I guess each image could just keep loading on top of the previous image but won't that cause a problem with the depth of your layers?

have a look here: [URL] As you can see, you can scroll through the pictures by using the "<prev" or ">next" buttons OR by clicking on the individual numbers. I made it to where the numbers change colors when you click on them individually, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the number corresponding to the picture change colors when you press the "<prev" or ">next" buttons! I've experimented with "if/else" statements for days now, but nothing is working. The pictures are loading from an XML file. Here's the AS on the main timeline:

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:

I've been able to add those buttons, but they only work if I don't click on a thumb, as I click on a thumb they stop working.
In the code there is a function called loadGImage which loads the full size images, originally that function accepted 2 parameters, I've added a 3rd one which store the current image's index inside an array, so that I can use my buttons to call that function with index+1 for next and index-1 for prev.In addition to this I've added a variable which is updated everytime a full image is shown, that variable contains the image's index.
Clicking on thumb the buttons stop working because the current image's index turns to "undefined" so they can't pass a correct value to loadGImage.I've checked the code of the gallery, but I can't find where is said to the thumbs to call loadGImage, if I'd found that code I could add the index parameter and my buttons would work.I'm sure that the thumbs call loadGImage because I've put a trace() inside the function to see when it is activated.[URL]
