ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Gallery - Adding Descriptive Text For Big Image
Nov 13, 2009
I've found this tutorial that I've played around with and it works out fine [URL], but I would like to add some descriptive text for the big image. How would I go about loading such a text from the xml file?
ActionScript Code:
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import caurina.transitions.*;
//---------loading the external xml file-------
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pics.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myXML:XML = new XML();
[Code] .....

I was trying to use the photo gallery tutorial from this site the code was done by sbeener I wanted to use the same concept for adding external text for each image. So far I have only been able to figure out how to load the text but I have not figured out how to be able to change the text to correspond to the image.

I was reading your tutorial on adding a thumbnail to an image gallery. Im trying to use your thumbnail_final.fla inside another movie and is not working for me. I made a movie, in Scene 1 of this movie i have an empty movie clip(DisplayArea) and a menu button(Gallery) so that when i hit the Gallery button it load the thumbnail)final movie into the empty movie clip DisplayArea. Everything work except for the thumbNailScroller function. It load all the thumbnails and you can click them and they load the matching big picture and all but the scrolling function is not working.

I'm encountering a weird glitch when I try to use a more complex image border: the image container and the text caption both jump into place at the last moment. A bad effect. All I've done is add two more variables, "w2" and "w3" to the code:
Code:
var w = container._width+spacing, h = container._height+spacing;
var w2 = container._width+space2, h2 = container._height+space2;
var w3 = container._width+space3, h3 = container._height+space3;
border.resizeMe(w, h, id);
border2.resizeMe(w2, h2, id);
border3.resizeMe(w3, h3, id);
The only way I can find to keep the border shapes in correct proportion is to create 3 different border clips and apply the "resizeMe" easing function to each of them.

I've completed my XML-driven image gallery, however upon live testing I'd realized I made a rookie mistake and not put some kind of placeholder "loading" movie clip loop while the thumbnails and subsequent full-size images are being loaded. The images will randomly appear when loaded and I would like to be able to insert a placeholder movie clip while they load, and swap them up with the thumbnails/images after it has been loaded. The placeholder movie clip is in my library (loadingLoop), but I'm having problems getting it to work correctly.
Below is the original function that processes the XML and adds the thumbnail images; this is where I'm trying to insert the placeholder movie clip per XML child node (every attempt I've made just keeps throwing more errors, so I've omitted my attempts to avoid confusion), and I've attached the XML file for testing.

I have made a very simple xml menu, from opensource codes, that loads a description with each image. This is very good sure, but I really need several descriptive fields (ex. fabric, style #, and size), and on seperate lines, that is, in seperate text fields.
So my question is: How do I add three descriptive fields to be pulled (via xml) into my flash document?
Here is the source code I am using:
Code:
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {

I am kind of new to flash and used a template to build a flash website. One of my pages has links on it that when you click them open a pop-up text box. I've looked at the actions of the link to try to figure out how to add an image but can't seem to figure it out. The actions of the link also reference a text file. The [URL] and it's the second page with the contacts (peoples names). Below is the actions from one of the links:

I have a problem with the TLF text alignment issue. The problem comes when am adding an image in the TLF text and some text in the text box after the image tag and setting the format tag to leftMargin.<TEXTFORMAT LEFTMARGIN = "20">Some text goes here< /TEXTFORMAT>. what am expecting is if i insert a image tag means it needs to come in the first column and text in the second column just like the normal textfield. For normal text the TEXTFORMAT tag is working perfectly for TLF its not working is there any chance to rectify the problem.
Below is the text what i have given in the Tlf textbox please check it with the normal text also tlf_txt.htmlText = '<img src = "[URL]" width = "10" height = "10" align = "texttop"/><TEXTFORMAT LEFTMARGIN = "20">Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the Use Device Fonts setting. Use the Text Font Embedding command to embed fonts.</TEXTFORMAT>'

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null.
at flash.text::TextField/set text()

This is what my actionscript looks like:

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'm trying to find out how to make a simple image gallery which changes image upon a mouse click on a button, when a button is pressed I want the image to slide in from the left into the viewable area and then when another image is selected I want the previous image that was viewed to remain in the screen and then the new image slide across over the top to replace the image.
I can get the images to slide across from the left upon a mouse click however I can't change the layer order so if image 6 is viewed and then I click to see image 1, the image will slide into place however it will be below image 6 so therefore not viewable.
I don't have an example of what I'm after but I hope my explanation was good enough, I've seen this been done in javascript but I have to use flash and am unable to replicate the effect I'm after

I have this piece of code to change images. I was trying to figure out how you could put a timer on the code, so if the image has been displayed for say 5 seconds it diverts to the next image automatically? Also if it's not to hard, when it has played to the end to divert to the 1st image.

Just wondering if anyone knows about the project I am trying to start, uploading images from flash using php is fine but wondering if anyone knows how to create dynamic xml from php and it takes all the image names from the same folder where those images have been uploaded. So we can load all the images in image gallery through xml into flash.

I have found an excellent tutorial and source file for a 3D image gallery. However I would like to make the thumbnail click thorugh to a url link when pressed rather than loading the image into the gallery.
Currently the images load in through actionscript. Is there a way to amend this script so you can specify that a thumbnail clicked links through to a url, like you would with a normal button instance rather than loading the image. Here is a link to the file and tutorial. The actionscript is on the top layer within the file.[URL]...

Ok so I have this XML gallery working perfectly, but I want to add a preloader to it. I have the loader and child all in one package, and that package is called via back and forward buttons according to if/else statements that ensure that the xml gallery does not get confused. I figure ok, so it's simple, I just add the preloader into the package using if/else statement, but I can't seem to get it to interact with the imageLoader I have set up in this package. As it stands right now I get no compile errors, but I do get an output error at runtime stating that packagedF and xmlLoadedF are now null object references. Take a look and see if you can figure out what I'm doing wrong:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);[code]......

I'm trying to modify Scotty's fantastic resizable XML gallery to add links to it. I've read through similar posts on this forum and I'm confused on a couple of issues. Firstly, the xml file provided, which I am using, places all fields in "" marks, whilst all examples given on this forum don't seem to do so.Perhaps more importantly, when i try, as recommended on similar posts, to place the link within CDATA tags the gallery stops showing any thumbnails, pictures or anything! I am confused. My XML file is as below, after editing the first image data to try and accomodate the link:[code]

Ive got an AS3 XML gallery thats all working fine, but I would like to add links to each image. Ideally I need to be able to add fully qualified links to each image individually via the XML document. my actionscript looks like this:
// delay between slides
const TIMER_DELAY:int = 5000;
// fade time between slides
const FADE_TIME:int = 3;

I am am not a developer but have bought a template which I am modifying to suit my needs. I have made most of the modifications but and stuck on how to change the animation for the image gallery. When I move from one picture to the next the animation effect is something like a bubble burst. This is too flamboyant for me. I would like to change it to something more sleek but have no clue where to start.

I have an image gallery but I can't seem to get the previous image removed. I have two functions:
ActionScript Code:
function clearLoader():void {
try {
var li:LoaderInfo = slideLoader.contentLoaderInfo;
[Code]....
But in some way not the previous image is removed, but the one before that. Annoying, because if image 1 is larger than image 2, image 1 stays on the background. It is only when loading image 3 the first image is removed from the stage.

So I'm having some trouble modifying this script. I have a text box so a user can go to a certain image (In my case page). So if the user type 5 it should go to image 5I've tried numerous methods, none of which are working (they work but then my next and previous buttons aren't working properly). I know I need to just get go to the number image in the array but the way the script is set up it seems I would have to change the current position value but that doesn't seem to be the case.Am I over complicating this?
ActionScript Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
