I placed and XML gallery inside a movieclip where the user can toggle the movieclip to appear on stage on and off.
When I run it on my computer, everything loads fine, the loading animation and the jpegs. But when I run it on the internet, nothing appears in the movieclip! [code]...
Based on the Kirupa Flash XML Gallery, I tried to expand it as far as I could. Right now, it loads the images, generates buttons dynamically according to how many images are in the XML que, and each image is hyperlinked. I want to load in a swf file dynamically via XML into an another empty movieclip everytime I go to a new image. In another words if I have 9 images in my gallery, each image is assigned a swf file to load into another empty movieclip.
View 1 Replieshave a question about loading new photos into a already populated image gallery.So I have my gallery set up so first loads my stage pics. What I would now like to do is load different set of images via the click of a button.So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and the user can click on them to view the full size image. next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones.

View 6 Replies downloaded an xml photo gallery that is displayed through a swf.
What I want to do is load that external swf into another swf - but everytime I do it gives me a #1009 error. I know my code works - because it loads regular swfs, and I know I have the address right, because I direct it to an exact url location.
I'm trying to load a swf that contains a flash gallery in to a movieClip. The problem is that load the swf but the gallery isn't able to load it's images so i only get the blank swf. The funny thing is that when i use a UILoader at startup everithing, everything loads so it's ok, when i tell it to load on a click event it stops working. I have the following code ...
ActionScript Code:
b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startLoad);
function startLoad(e:Event)
{
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();

My gallery is set up to load from an XML file and it works great. My problem is that the program only loads the first gallery. I can load either gallery 1 or gallery 2, but when I try to switch galleries, the current gallery vanishes and nothing reappears. according to the trace function, the thumbnails are being generated again, but nothing is showing up again.
I think it may be the container_mc that needs to be removed and re-declared but nothing seems to work. I've I've had to remove a bit of code related to background graphics to meet the max length req of the forums but otherwise it is all there. apologies for the messy code:

want to load a lightbox gallery from within a flash .swf i no its possible because iv seen it done many times, and iv tried every tutorial on the net, most of which say the same thing, which I have done and it still doesnt work.So far I have created a javascript delegate which turns the flash command getURL into an anchor tag containing a rel="" attribute. Here is my javascript:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
[code]...
I have then used a flash button to call the javascript function, in theory this should load my lightbox, however all that happens is the flash swf disappears and no lightbox overlay or image appears. I no that fksh objects do disappear when lightbox loads, however mine doesnt load. My ActionScipt on the flash button is as so:
Actionscript Code:
on (release) {getURL("javascript:LightboxDelegate('1.jpg','caption1')", "_self")}

I have made a site in flash and left the gallery page till last.I have found a free gallery online and am trying to load the gallery.swf file from it to the stage of my main file.It works but the file does not play. It will just load the first frame and the images wont come up.the way that I am using the loading function is by: loadMovie("gallery.swf", galleryLoader);
galleryLoader is the instance name of my Loader Component found in Flash 8 component panel.Someone said to add: galleryLoader.content ._lockroot = true;
But it makes the gallery small I need it to an exact size.
The following code loads my "Gallery.swf" external file on HomePage_mc (Which is Page-1). But I would like it to load it on Gallery_mc (which is Page-6). How can I do that? The following is the code:

PS: There was a problem with a curly bracket. Now it is fixed but when I go to home page or any other page after clicking on the Gallery button, the Galley.swf but still playing on top of all those pages. How to fix it?
I want to load the image gallery into my main movie.I have tried using the Loader component so that I can place the gallery in the middle of the main movie but the gallery just doesn't load correctly! I want it to load inside the Loader box in the middle of the page but it kicks the images out to the edge of the main movie.I suspect I need to edit the AS of the gallery.fla to specify the width of the SWF gallery inside the Loader, so I can send that to you via email - can't post it here cos its too long.

View 1 RepliesLooking 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 1 Replieshow modify gallery from this tutorial [URL]to load caption from xml.
View 3 RepliesI have built a gallery similar to the one found on Kirupa with a siding thumbnail gallery that references xml. Everything works great except that the images I want to load at their large size vary in width so when they load referencing the upper left hand corner they are not centered. I would like to load them so that each image in centered in the "picture" image area. I created a new movie clip and gave it the instance name of "picture" and center justified it but the images now load with THEIR upper left corner in the center of the "picture" image area. do I have to add code to the xml? is there anything I can ad to th AS to load pictures centered?

View 1 RepliesI'm new at actionscripting althought not new to flash. I tried creating the photo gallery using the code that is posted here on [URL]. But it doesn't seem to load. I've been using Flash 5, (I'm more comfortable using 5) and I don't know if it makes a difference. But I also tried it on MX and it didn't seem to load with MX either. I don't know if I'm messing up on the dir for the images or what have you, but most of the time I get nothing when I preview it, other times my image frames pops up for a split second. Here's what I've what I've done
[Code].....
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 have begun to build a vertical gallery. I have it set up to follow an xml document and it loads rather quickly. While the loading works, the unloading is not so hot. I can't figure out how to unload the container_mc which contains all the thumbnails. I intend to develop this page in as3 primarily so that I can adopt it to other projects. The arrangement is two vertical boxes on the right and left, a text box at the bottom in between the two vert boxes, and a fullscreen box in the center. The drawn squares are only being used as placeholders for real art right now.
As it stands, I can use either button to load the gallery, but when I click the next gallery it unloads everything, but it does not reload the next gallery. I want the buttons to load their respective galleries. I figure once I set up the structure for 2 galleries, I can make more.
var Gal_Array1:Array = new Array();
Was my attempt at loading the thumbs into an array, and later clearing it but I don't think it works (I think it would only double the amount of thumbs?). How to properly load and unload the container_mc?
Code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;

I've seen this done on many sites (it even happens on here when attaching links), where the screen darkens and an image gallery or form loads.
My question is, can this be done through Flash, but more importantly how to load a swf file this way. I noticed that the new Nike Running site has done it for their login functionality, where it loads the login box on a darkend screen, not sure whether the actual login is Flash but it's opened from within Flash.

I have a flash image gallery that loads images through xml. Images have to be croped for thumbnails. So u have to have two folders, one for the thumbnails an another file for the big size images. I would like to know if there is a way to load only one image ( and not this image's thumbnail too) and with a script or something, to resize this image to get the thumbnail. To make my self clearer here is the xml code:
image../gallery_flash/imageGallery/images/watches/i1005.jpg image
thumb../gallery_flash/imageGallery/thumbs/watches/i1005.jpg thumb
(For some reason it doesnt show the xml right...) I dont want to have the line (thumb>../gallery_flash.), but only load one image and get the thumbnail also.
I'm using the following code to load external swfs over each other.
At the moment the time between each image is the same - 10 seconds. I'm trying to work out how to change the time so the first image loads, waits for 5 seconds, loads the second which waits 10 seconds before loading the third swf.[code]...
I used the fade class to build a fade in-out image gallery. It s quite easy and it works fine. But then they asked me to load the images randomly and thats when the thing got complicated.[code]...
View 0 Repliesi've got all the xml coded and ready to go, now what i struggle is to implement my existing preloader to make it load each image. This is a work done by my friend and i am just continuing his final works so it took me quite a long time to digest these codes too.
this is my frame 1 actionscripts with a preloader.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
//Import the required assets
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
And in between the function ProgressEvent i am clueless on what to code, i've tried using addChild and etc to load the preloaders but fail.
I was taking a look at this great site at the link interior Design. How it's done that gallery? I noticed that the pictures are loaded in order, before they are asked to be shown. When the user clicks on the number of the image, it has already been loaded by the swf.
View 5 RepliesI have completed the xml thumbnail gallery and it works standalone. I want to load it into another swf which is part of my main movie. The only problem is that when i do this the XML doesnt seem to load. If anyone could shed some light on this, that would be great. U can dl the FLA's below. Completed Gal here. Loaded into another clip here.
View 2 RepliesI am making a site with a scrolling photo gallery. The site is located at [URL]I have a scrolling thumbnail gallery that is perfect for me. I am happy with it with one exception. I used the loadmovie function to make it and for some reason it takes a long time on slower internet for the movie to initially load. What i would like to do is have the movie open up fairly fast and the individual pictures can load once they are clicked. I want to use xml however i don't know how to do it.
I would like to keep the same setup on my photo page but i want to use xml because i think it would be better on loading. I am interested in this type of gallery. [URL] I found this online and put it on my server. I love this gallery I just want these effects and xml layout in my gallery. I dont even have to have the cool fade effects i just need the site to load faster and the pictures to load individually.
