I am trying to organize a series of images horizontally on my site. All the tutorials I find about image galleries utilize image thumbnails of the same width. I want to be able to use images of varying widths but cannot figure out how the ActionScript should be set up to handle this.[code]
View 0 Repliesi have a mc that has 3 text fields category, name, amount and they are being loaded by xml. but when the movie is loaded it loads the mcs inline but i only want them to show 5 in each line. but when its a different category to go to the next line. so for ex.
1 1 1 1 1 - ROW 1
-------------------
2 2 2 - ROW 2[code]....
the numbers = a category so there are 5 (if there happens to be a total of 5) in each row but when the category changes it goes to a different row.
However, when i put the destination for my movieclip into the actionscript[code]...
View 8 RepliesNot sure if there's a fix for this or not. I've had this happen to me on the last two sites I've built. I embed the flash movie into my site in Dreamweaver, and everything works perfectly in Safari. When I view the site in Firefox however, the flash movie loads a few pixels off (see pics). Anyone have a fix for this?I've tried setting the vertical align of the movie to "bottom," and I've also tried dragging all of the cells tight in the site. I've even tried rebuilding the site all together. As soon as I bring in the flash, the cells get off in FirefoxSite in Safari:
View 1 Repliestake a look at this link [URL]. Notice that the flash file in the middle window is off-centered (hanging to the bottom right corner a bit). Any thoughs on why this is? The swf file is fine when I open it seperately and locally, but looks goofy when I throw it in the page.
View 3 RepliesIs there a simple way to take a few square images and set rotationY for each one to be the same degrees, then using an equation line each clip up after the previous one? For some reason the width property of the rotated clips is not lining them up correctly for me. I managed to get the desired result by trial and error (see below), but really need to get an equation for this so I can move the clips around with little hassle.

Basically a video that allows you to click on products and pull up more info on them as they appear in the video.
The video I will be using is 3 mins long with 10 products you can click on, so I guess I will need to progressively download it. If I could embed it in the timeline it would be a piece of cake. I would just have buttons motion tweened moving with the products in the timeline. But the file size will be too large to make this a sensible option.
My question is, I understand cue points can be used to activate actions for progressive video downloads, but how would I track the buttons over the products using progressive downloading when I can't see the video in the flash timeline?
i have a thumbnail gallery im displaying from an xml file and require the thumbnail widths/heights to dynamically space the images.I read I must use an event and content.width to access the image widths and this works partially..in the below code I am just tracing the image width to see if I can access the values of each image, but I only ever get the value of the LAST IMAGE in the xml. There are 3 image urls listed in the xml and the width of the last image is the only one traced ?

I store a UV-coord from va1 to v1. In the frag shader, an interpolated texture coordinate now is available in v1 to sample. Are there connections under the hood, like semantics, to associate v1 with being the normal coordinates?Are fragments pushed to the fragment shader per triangle or once an entire mesh's geometry vertices are run through?In the vertex shader, let's say I multiply my modelview by my vertex's position. I then want to share my z-coord with the fragment shader for something else. I store the z-cord of the transformed vector into v3. Once I am in the fragment shader and I access v3 for the z-coord, is this the same z-coord I passed in or is this z-coordinate going to be altered by the perspective divide in between? I only ask as I want to clarify the "interpolating" behavior described when storing values in these registers.
View 1 Repliesi know similar topics have already been resolved, but i can't figure this out for the life of me. i have my photo gallery and can get it to load a single gallerycontent.xml file. what i want to do is use my single flash photo gallery to display photos from multiple xml's.i'm thinking that i need to use some sort of FlashVars attribute in the embed tag of the published html, but i can't figure out how to tell my flash file to look for it..[code]of course, i want to dynamically change the HCAGG3 directory so it can be defined via the HTML page the flash file is on.
View 1 RepliesI would like to recreate the swipe functionality of the ios platform. Where the user can swipe slow or fast or forward and back - without lifting the finger from the screen - and also be able to flick the finger for a really fast swipe that maybe goes on for a little while. The built in swipe gesture is much too basic for this kind of effect. How would you go about achieving a real swipe effect?

I'm trying to have a movie clip with 4 buttons that moves to the four corners of the stage.Depending on which button is clicked, the movie clip goes to that corner.he trouble I'm running into is determining the variable start points. If the end goal is the lower right corner, it needs to be able to move there from the upper left, the lower left and the upper right. So I need to set the starting position as a variable I assume, but can't get it working.

I want to load random movie clips into an area... kind of like ads. but each of them is a different length, so at the end of whatever clip, it has to be able to move onto another randomly loaded clip.
and for the kicker... it'd be nice to be able to add a button of some kind on the individual "ads" that will allow the user to skip to another randomly loaded ad as if that ad had reached the end of it's time.
add multiple instances of an object to the stage at different but not random points.
For example - I have a box that is linked to a class file. In the class file I have an "ADDED_TO_STAGE" event listener. The function that is called places the box at a certain position on the stage say.... x=100, y= 200.
In the document class I create an instance of it like so -
_box:box = new box();
addChild(_box);
Now what I want is to create multiple instances of box on the stage every 5 seconds. But I don't want them all to spawn at (100,200) on the stage. But here's the catch, I don't want them to be random spawns either.
for ex- I want the first instance of box to spawn on (100,200), then 5 seconds later, the second instance to spawn at (200, 800), the third at (100, 500) and so on.
Would it be possible for me to create objects on the stage to serve as reference points for where i want the instances to spawn instead of writing the exact co-ordinates?
I am populating a textfield with text from XML files. I am wondering what the best way is to handle positioning the TF based on the number of lines of text. So if there is only one line, the textfield's 'y' position might be 100, but if there are 2 lines I want it to move to say 80.
View 1 RepliesI have been encoding 1920x1080i mov files (h.264/aac) to 1280x720p (vp6/mp3) flvs.However, when I add older HD content into the AMC que, content with non-standard presets, the program hangs.I tried to import about 15 files last night and the program just sat there all night in a 'NOT RESPONDING' state.The video's have different audio and video settings and it's little difficult to pinpoint exactly what they were.Some are 1440x1080, some are 1280x900, some have PCM audio some of mp3.Now I temporarily resolved this issue by simply using cs4 master on my mac pro which worked great.However I have noticed a huge speed increase in CS5 64bit AMC.It takes 2-3 hours to encode 1 flash video on my mac pro (dual quad core xeon 2.9Ghz/32GB ram) with CS4.It takes ~20 minutes on my windows 7 station (single core 2 quad 3Ghz/8GB ram) with CS5.
If I drop a single file into the AMC CS5 que, regardless of the resolution, frame rate, or sound codec; it will import.If I then add another file with a different resolution AMC will hang and become non-responsive.It never crashed but I can't wait 12+ hours to see if it accepted a job or not.As I said before this problem was not observed on CS4 for mac it worked flawlessly, albeit a little slow.[code]
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]...

Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
View 1 RepliesI want to make a square grid of fixed side length but varying grid number using code.That is, the number of grids should be specified by the user (say 3*3) and after pressing a button, the stage should be broken into 3*3 grids.I don't want any code, just a method on how to do it. I have tried it by using simple loops but the method just fails for no reason I can figure.
View 5 RepliesI have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.
