ActionScript 3.0 :: Determining Thumbnail Placement From Array?
Nov 23, 2010
This thumbnail loader has been the bane of my existence for the past several days. I finally have the images loading in correctly from the XML through an Array.
However, I can NOT for the life of me get them to load with equal distance from one another that corresponds with the varying image widths. I have set up a contentLoaderInfo in order to trace the widths of the images, but can't figure out how to associate them with their respective images in the array to appropriately define the x location.
ActionScript Code:
//XML Load in XML
var XMLURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
XMLURLLoader.load(new URLRequest ("ggcelebrity.xml"));
[Code]....

I need to "arrange" an array item by using the up/down arrow keys. Each item in the array is represented by a movieclip on the screen, and the idea is to select one, and then move it up and down through the array. For example say you have 7 items in your inventory and want to move item nr 6 ( array[6] ) to the top of the visual representation list ( array[0] ). So it would move through the array and when you hit the top it jumps back down to 7 again. one jump for each keystroke.

I have an array with 8 items, and I want them to be randomly placed on the stage with each load, or when a "shuffle" button is pressed. Just a simple puzzle where the pieces are to be scrambled and then dragged and dropped by the user.Current code that isn't working:
Code:
var myArray:Array = new Array();
myArray[0] = puzzle1;

I have a page that I'm trying to build that has a scrolling image bar at the bottom but I want to also show the full size image in flash above the images that come up in the thumbnail array when you mouse over each image in the array. I found some code that makes the thumbnail array work but I have no idea how to display the second larger image on mouse over because its loading the images externally... what can I do? Feel free to email me back.

I use this code to try to create a photo thumbnail slider from an array loaded with the images names. The problem is that I can create one thumbnail with my code as shown, but I get in trouble when I try to make thumbnails of more than one image from the array. How should I work around this?
I want the thumbnails to create a nice row, that I can use in a "infinite image slider"...
Code:
//image array
//the array that holds the images names
imgArray = _root.getCurrentArray();
//the path to the images folder

I have made a image-viewer. I've this AS for the viewer:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function loadXML(loaded) {[code].....
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:

Im trying to create via xml and a for() loop a thumbnails wiewer and each thumbnail have a simple onrelease function.....but my probleme is that my 'container' movieClip and 'BT' movieClip dont show when I export the movie...also when i trace()them the output is empty. maybe is because they are inside x.onLoad(xml){} function ? At the end of the script you can remove // before the trace() function for ckecking in the output panel. here is my code:
xml file: TumbLoader.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><slideshow><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/1.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/2.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/3.jpg" /><photos[code]...

is it possible to get an uh... "absolute" X and Y for _root.dropDown1MC.listMC.item? As is stands, I'm placing dropDown2MC on the stage using the following code: [AS]_root.attachMovie("dropDown2", "dropDown2", 30, {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});[/AS] and that gets it on the stage, but it doesn't function as I need it. In a perfect world, I'd like to place dropDown2MC at the X and Y of item, BUT, there is a mask to only show a certain area of listMC (it's how I'm making a scrollable dynamically populated list).
So, is there a way to get some sort of absolute value, relative to root or something, of item's X and Y coordinates? Sorry if this is a bit complicated... I'm trying to be as clear as possible, but you know how hard that can be when you're connected to Flash directly though a firewire cable to the brain

Yes, I'm making a photo gallery like everyone else. I'm making it so people can order pics from the site. There are going to be about 500 photos per album in 5 different categories. The photos can be shrunk down to about 60kb a piece. If I use the actual pictures as thumbnails, just scaled down, the total size of all the pics will be about 30mb. I know this is a lot.
Either way, the people looking at the album will most likely look at nearly all the pics so they will be using up bandwidth either way. Plus, if I use the actual pics as thumbs the user will not have to wait to see actual pic when it's clicked on because it's already loaded. A preloader is annoying to me. I do realize a preloader would be wise when loading the thumbs. Just dislike them after you click one for the big picture.
So is using shrunken thumbs a necessity or if the big pic is under a certain size it shouldn't matter if I use it for a thumb also?

I have an array of 10 buttons 2 rows of 5 buttons each.
I was wondering how I might randomize the button placement,each time a randomizeButton function is called.What I mean is keep the rows but how they are lined up and showing will be different each time.

I managed to make some code that works perfectly which, when the flash game is launched it randomly inserts a picture from the list you give it (word1.png, word2.png etc.)It works fine! But the problem is the place in which it appears, when i start the pictures appear in the top left corner of my flash game, but I want them to appear at preferably the location of a symbol or the x & y coordinates I specify (In actions obviously, i dont want to type these coordinates in game :P).Btw here is the code
var _loader:Loader = new Loader;
var _pictureArray:Array = ["word1.png", "word2.png", "word3.png"];
var _whatPicture:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3);

When you make a movie clip, and have it open, does it have a physical 'place' on your pasteboard or main timeline?
For instance, when I test my 'scene' (as opposed to movie) my clip will be out of whack and off to the side of my movie viewer.
Then when I place the clip in my main timeline, i have to monkey around with it to get it to line up. I get a circle and a blue line at the top, but not sure what that space corresponds to.
Is there a good tut out there for movie clip creation and placement? It feels really sloppy the way Im doing it.

looking for the correct way to arrange this. So this below works. But instead of using the y coordinate of the wst, wsa, and wsm, is it possible to have it equal the mc itself? so wsa1.y==wsablank3(mc)

I would like to be able to specify the placement of a legend for a linechart. Currently, it continues to appear to the right of the chart. I have tried playing with the width/height of the chart to no avail... Putting the legend before the linechart in the mxml causes it to appear to the left. I can't seem to get it appear at the bottom though. I can't seem to find any good examples for this. They don't seem to specify anything but the legend usually shows up below the chart, I can't seem to do it.

I have a container_mc that loads in a external MovieClip, lets call it video1.swf using the MovieClipLoader class (it actually contains a video of a 180sx drifting but thats neither here or there). What I'm trying to figure out, is a way to find out when this externally loaded clip terminates, then preload and then display another clip, called video2.swf. I call my preloader and load my external clips into the MCL class using a version I learnt in Senoculars preloader tutorials here [URL]

I'm looking to create an AS3 utility that will place frame labels (about 200), on the main timeline, to save the time it takes to do it manually. The label would be very simple like "page" + i. Is there AS3 code that addresses utility methods of this sort?

I've made a image slider Class and works fine up to the position of the mask. In my Home Class I make an instance of the image slider Class and position it accordingly. The images in the slider Class are position at 0, 0 as well as the shape I use for the mask. Here is the problem the mask placement is at stage.x = 0 , stage.y = 0 rather then the slider's Class x:0, x:0. Why is the slider instance showing the in right position but the mask in the instance isn't?[code]
