I found a tutorial that showed how to create an image gallery that loads external bitmaps. It also has some nice fade in/fade out effects using Tweener. I was wondering, what would I need to modify from my code to load MovieClips from the library instead of the external JPEGs.
ActionScript Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var btn:Object;
[code]......
In my "actions" layer I have a function that loads a gallery of a external file called gallery.swf. The swf loads successfully but I cant remove that. The only way to remove is to call removeChild(mLoader.content); I noticed that the movies loads without addChild.
But sometimes also calling removeChild(mLoader.content) the content of mLoader is not removed and still appears in the stage.

I am using the fla's that were posted on [URL] regarding the image gallery where the box scales and resizes depending on what it loads(using XML) within it. The boxe's top left stays static which is the goal and the rest resizes according to what loads. Now inside the actionscript it has spacing of 10 which puts space around the bottom and right sides of the image that is loaded but does not put spacing on the left and top. I m trying to get the space so it is on the top and left also, basically so the image loaded is centered within the border. To clarify more simply I just want a even border around the images that it loads. Here is a link to the files being used: [URL] Also for some reason when I tried testing to download the .fla myself from the above link it loaded a page with a whole lot of characters.
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to make an image gallery that loads 3 photos at a time (look at .SWF). I have also built a function that resizes the photos to fit into its respective box once they're loaded (a maximum of 120x120 pixels). The images aren't getting resized, and they aren't getting re-loaded after the "forward" button is pressed the second (,third,fourth,etc...) time.

View 1 RepliesI wanna create some sort of actionscripted typewriter which loads its content from an external file, but i can't seem to get the code to work properly!
This is what i got till now:
2 layers:
- one with a textfield called 'textbox'
- one with the actions
A textfile which contains: waarde=Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!
4 frames, in the first frame i load the textfile this way:
[AS]q = 1;
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt",this);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]...
The problem is that when i assign the value of "text" in the first frame this way : <-- text = "Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!"; --> (witout the comment tags ofcourse) the typewriter works fine but when i load the var from the textfile nothing happens, the trace works fine and displays the contents of the var but the typewriter displays nothing.
the weird this is that when i add this after all the code in frame 1 it works fine: text = "azerty";
But when i add this it doesn't: text = "a";
So when i overwrite the var with the azerty value suddenly it contains the correct value in the next frame, when i assign only one character to it the script doesn't work anymore.
I am developing a web based image gallery system and looking for the right technology in which to develop it. I own Microsoft's complete development environment (aka Silverlight), I also own Adobe Production Premium CS4 (aka Flash CS4). Since targeting the Linux/BSD environment is vital to my business model, trust me on this one, Silverlight is not the ideal solution. I know there is that Monolight, but that isn't mainstream. But as we all know, Flash runs on Linux just fine, making it the ideal solution. Actually Flex is a better option, but I am trying to work with what I already own.
All the stuff I see on Flash is really basic graphic designer stuff. I was wondering if anyone know of a decent tutorial that might help me get started with developing an image gallery with Flash CS4.

View 3 RepliesI'm looking for a tutorial which explains me how to create a simple AS3 image gallery driven by an XML file.
The gallery I need is really simple: an horizontal bar placed on the bottom containing the thumbnails which scrolls left and right according to the mouse pointer clicking on a thumbnail the full image must be shown above the thumbnails' bar buttons for prev and next image clicking on the button which opens the gallery I must be able to pass a variable to make the gallery load the proper xml file (I've got 6 different categories to show)
I have taken a shot at creating a viewer like what can be found at [URL]in Flash, but mine is not working right. I am on Flash MX Pro 2004, so I'm not sure what version this lines up with? I can also send you the file I've been working on if that would help. I found some code online that I have tweaked, but it was for a different viewer, and I'm sure that's where my problems are coming from.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to create an interactive image gallery for use on my GoDaddy.com site. The site is template based and will only accept a single standalone.swf file. As an example GoDaddy shows an image gallery created in Flash Slideshow Maker Pro. However, this is only for a PC platform and I'm on a Mac. I created an interactive image gallery using Jetphoto software. However, the Jetphoto software does not produce a single standalone .swf file. Instead it produces folders containing hi & lo jpgs, an html file, an xml file and a jetphotview.swf file. Does anyone know of a Mac based interactive slideshow program that is easy to use and will create a single .swf file? Or, although I don't know how to use it, I own a full version of Flash. Is there any way to convert the series of Jetphoto files to a single .swf file? When it is opened in Flash the save menus are grayed out. I tried to convert the .swf file back to an .fla file to bring into Flash and that doesn't work either.

View 2 RepliesI need to create an image gallery, based on an XML file, which displays both the thumbnails and the normal-sized images. Here's a link for you to get an idea of pretty much what I want to achieve, except for the fact that I don't want the thumbnails to slide to the left or right, I'd rather want them to be static, and if there are more thumbnails than, let's say 3, to display a "previous-next" controller. After following some tutorials, here's what I created so far:(you can also find all these files + the thumbnails in the attachment)The XML file (settings.xml):
PHP Code:
<slideshow>
<images>
<thumb tLink="th/01.jpg" desc="This is the first thumbnail" bLink="bigImgs/01b.jpg" />
<thumb tLink="th/02.jpg" desc="This is the second thumbnail" bLink="bigImgs/02b.jpg" />
[code]....
So far, so good, the script does trace what I told it to But I need to further improve this rather simple script. So, basically here's what I need:How do I load each thumbnail into a "container" movieclip, so I can further manipulate this movieclip's properties (do an easing for position, alpha, filters etc.)? There's one more thing I need to specify: I want to display only, let's say, 3 thumbnails at runtime, not all of them. how could I assign an instance name to each of them.
I want to create an image gallery with a next and previous button.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an image gallery by toggling between different sets of thumbnails and thus loading the appropriate images.I've set up the first 9 okay and they all load at first but when I toggle back and forth in the toggleThumbnails function using addChild I can no longer load these same movieclips.I'm loading the same movieclip with their associated instance names?
