ActionScript 3.0 :: Very Large Scrolling List Of Thumbnails?
Oct 10, 2008
I have a photo browser that I am building, and so far itlooks good. It loads in however many images are listed in an XMLdocument to thumbnails, and then opens a larger window when youclick on them. The program basically stacks the thumbnails on topof one another in a movieClip, and you scroll through with a scrollbar or by dragging the thumbnails up and down directly. My issueis, once that movieClip gets to a certain size, Flash doesn't dealwith it well. Let's say I have 100 images I want to scroll through.If I stack them all up, and they are 150 pixels high with 25 pixelspadding each side, that's a 20,000 pixels high movieClip, and thatdoesn't fly. I thought about using a list component, but I need itto scroll smoothly, and not only a cell at a time.
Do folks have any ideas on how to do this? It's really keythat it scrolls smoothly, and that it can scroll by dragging photosdirectly up and down in the viewer. It's easy now because I canhave the dragging behavior attached to the thumbnail scroll, andnot each individual image, and I can move that one movieClip,rather than tracking the position of all the images

I have been working on a site that will display a portfolio for a friend of mine who is a photographer. I want to have thumbnails that can be scrolled on the bottom of the page, and an area where the thumbnail is presented when selected. I have the thumbnails appearing. I have them loading, however, I can't get them to scroll when the mouse moves to the left or right of the row of images. he file can be viewed at...[URL] Here is the code I used for the slideshow:

I'm new in this flash stuf, so I crave for anything about it. One day, I found a cool flash that displays XML feeds. So I "steal" it..I decompiled it, and twiddled around a bit.I want to customize it to be used in my site. But I have a problem.My thumbnails are not as large as the one in the original site. Hence making my thumbnails appeared at the top left of each box. I want to make it centered and streched in each boxes.I can't seem to be able to implement it on this flash movie.

I have a spark List with an item renderer and a tile layout. If I scroll by clicking with the mouse on the scroll bar and trying to scroll with the mouse wheel after that, there is a problem: The interval of the scrolling is oversized, instead of scrolling one item down (or up) the List scrolls 4 items down (or up).

Here is a snip from within my code:
[Code]...
The 'recommendations' dataProvider is an ArrayCollection of String, which are generally sentences about as long as this one. By setting the variableRowHeight and wordWrap properties as shown, if a sentence is too long to fit on a single line, everything works fine- the row expands and the messages show on two lines, or occasionally three.
The space allocated for this panel within the entire canvas means if the total text size of 'recommendations' exceeds six lines, I need for the entire list scroll. This is also working just fine. The trouble is when using the mouse wheel to do the scrolling- Flex scrolls both the entire list and the single item where the mouse is hovering. Often this results in only the second half of a sentence being visible. Non-programmer friends I have asked to look at this noticed this, and tell me it as a problem. If a user does not notice the dual scrolling, and sees only a fragment of a sentence, it will be perceived as an error in the application.

I'm building a site with flash (obviously) and it has multiple pages, now on one of these pages i wanted a scrolling menu with thumbnails that when you click them they take you to another page, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. The methods I already tried haven't worked.

I need to develop a scrolling image bar, I have never ever used a 'scroll bar' in flash. What it needs to do is have around 10 thumbnail images, that you can scroll left to right to, then when you click the image enlarges?

just watched Lee Brimelow's how to create a scrolling panel of thumbnails. I have no questions regarding the panel, but, rather, how do I add a link to each image of the scroll; so, when the user clicks one, a popup or new page opens showing not the thumbnail he clicked, but the real size image?

I followed a tutorial over at [URL] regarding scrolling thumbnails with the mouse pointer. Everything is working fine except the thumbnails are not stopping at the left and right x position that I have set. I'm tracing the x position of the thumbnail MC and it's showing that it's not changing, but the MC is definitely still moving. The code I'm using is:
Code:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver(){
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;

I've created a two strips of Scrolling/Sliding Thumbnails, now one bar works, but the second keeps scrolling in a loop.I changed the instances names so that i can communicate with the Actionscript but, I placed both image bars on the main timeline, but i really have no idea what the actionscript means. I searched on the internet and i think i need to change the _root? into something else? [code]My second bar is called imgBar2, do i need to change the Var, aswell? to maybe myVar2?

I have this banner that needs to have a several rows worth of paragraph text animate horizontally through it. Ideally, the text should also be possible to update from outside of flash. As for the scrolling text, working with that much text as one long row of letters doesn't seem feasible, so I'm wondering is there a standard way in Flash CS5 of working with large amounts of animated text? Not the user editable kind like text fields and such, but presentational text.
Obviously it's not efficient to have one long string of text that extends several screens beyond the display, as is the case now. Editing just one letter can take several seconds of scrolling as the string is currently over 3000 px wide, and it's not even all the text that's going to be in the final animation. It'd be great if it was possible to type that text through some web based cms, and have it automatically transferred to the Flash banner,

Here is an example online, I am trying something similar but am not happy with what I am seeing, perhaps it is just on my side. The scrolling seems choppy/jagged. I have this same issue doing a similar scroll with lots of big images. Is there any way to get a nice smooth scroll at a decent speed with flash?
Ive ported my as2 code into as3 but am seeing the same results. I have used tweener and tweenlite, nothing Ive tried is helping. how to achieve a smooth scroll?

I am trying to build a slideshow with scrolling thumbnails and mouse control. I am fallowing a you tube tutorial. [URL] I have done everything that he says to do and I can not get it to scroll. He builds this in AS2 and I have changed my publish settings to AS2. The thing that confuses me is that he is able to get it to scroll before he puts the code in.

I followed a tutorial at [URL]. I used this tutorial because I was interested in a continuously scrolling panel of Thumbnails instead of one that stops when you reach the end. Perhaps people know of another tutorial that accomplishes this and I can just use that one instead? While I can accomplish what he accomplishes, there was (I thought) an easy change. Instead of continuously scrolling I want the thumbnails to only scroll when the mouse is hovering over the thumbnails. You can see the current state of things at: [URL]. And the offending AS is below. I thought I could begin by telling the scrollbar to stop if myVar was equal to false, but I don't even know how to word that.
ActionScript Code:
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(_root._ymouse<400 and _root._ymouse>480){
myVar=false;
} if(_root._ymouse>400 and _root._ymouse<480){
myVar=true;

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;

I built the photogallery (actually four!)[URL] with a main gallery that loads the four categories. I originally had the category names appear on rollover using hover captions.
[URL] Worked great! Now the client wants to nix the hover captions and add labels in text. I thought it would be a cinch to code but I am not getting anywhere with it. Here is the code I have...
[Code]....
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've created a game engine using bitmaps and box2D, the floors for the game engine is made out of a number of lines which then has a bitmap fill applied to it, then it adds a little bit of grass on top of these floors....Here's a quick video to show you what I'm talking about:http:[url].....
This all works fine on my main computer, but when I move over to my netbook, I struggle to get 10fps... Because of this I am now looking for as many ways as possible to improve the efficiency of my code. So far what I've done that appears to of had some positive effect is:
- Use bitmapCaching on layers where it's appropriate to do so.
- Use scrollRect to scroll on only the necessary part of each of the layers.
However I'm still having big problems when it comes to scrolling the terrain on my netbook - are there any ideas that anyone might have which might be able to speed up the game slightly?
