I'm trying to design a scrolling panel following one of the tutorials. I'm loading some photos using an XML into a container and I want this container to be reactive to mouseX. I can't get this movement all the smooth that I want. The images sometimes vibrate.[code]

View 4 RepliesI'd like to build a gallery of photos which has selected thumbnail on each of them before displaying their photos.
Ex: photo.xml

I used the script below for a slideshow in Macromedia Flash MX2004. The images are in the folder images.xml (and believe me, I checked the names many times). But now the problem: when I load this slideshow, it shows only 3 photos, whereas there are 10 in my folder which I need to show. After the 4th photo I get only black.... it doesn't continue.
Here is the script:
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below
var randomNum = 0;
var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent container
var container_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);

I have a number of photos that I want to load into an array, ie photo0.jpg, photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg, etc.
I can I load all photos into an array if I don't know how many photos there are?
in other words, how can I code the movie so flash will add all photos in a folder into the array, not knowing how many there are, without changing flash code?
Does anyone know how to load an unknown number of photos into an array from a specific file path? I want to then use them in a photo carousel.
View 3 Repliesi have created an ios app in cs5, I am using a button when touched it should display a photo gallery. I Have researched plenty of tutorials but most of them you need to import the images onto the stage first, i only want the photos to be displayed once a button has been clicked by loading them from the library, once the photos have been loaded the user should be able to go back onto the app.
View 3 RepliesI am doing a spoof project in school where I have to build a website for a 'photographer.' So I need to showcase his pictures. I have to create 1 portfolio with 30 photos that been provided to me. The photos are all about 50K each. So naturally I cannot import all of these photos into my movie, the file size would be way to big. (Using Flash gets me extra credit) Im not allowed to use thumbnails. Just a back and forth button.
This is what I am trying to build. I want the movie to be 30 frames long. On each frame is a stop command. (easy) And on each frame is an actionscript calling one specific image. (loadMovie ("myimage.jpg", myClip); I'll then have two buttons to navigate from frame to frame. Simple right? The script I am using loads the picture from the server (or hard drive). However when it loads, it takes over. The picture is maximized to fit the stage. And the buttons dissappear. So the viewer is left with one image and nothing else. I want the picture to load into the clip and be able to access the buttons.

I've successfully managed to load an external swf file into a movie, but I don't know how to resize it or position it... is this possible?
I'm using this code to load the swf into a movieclip called 'Holder':
Code:
var Holder:Loader = new Loader();
var urlrHome:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myMovie.swf")
Holder.load(urlrHome);
[Code]....
My 'Holder' is bigger than the swf importing, but ideally i would like to resize and position it in the center of the stage... (at the moment, the movie loads in small and sits at the top left corner of the stage, even though my container is in the middle...
I'm trying to load links into this container:
var swfContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(swfContainer);

there a more official name for a 'flash container' ? because very little results come up when i try and search for answers!can you load a container within a container, i'm thinking no but would like to clear that up also! for example i've followed this tutorial htm however when loaded up in a container nothing appears in the mouse over effect.. i've also tried loading jpegs into a swf via an xml which again works fine until i load it up within a container and nothing appears..
View 21 RepliesIf a swf file is destined to be loaded into a container file and interacted with from there, is it considered better practice for the code for the interaction to reside in the loaded file or the container file? I am writing on the timeline, rather than creating classes. Also if a movie clip on the stage contains buttons with event listeners attached and I remove the movie clip as a child, do the event listeners disappear with it, or should i remove them separately?
View 4 RepliesOn the Mac, everything works fine. I load a .swf into an ADM Flash Player Item in the Illustrator SDK and the .swf pulls some information from an options.xml file on local machine to create the UI.On Windows the .swf seemingly won't load info from other files on the computer. I can get the .swf to load inside the ADM Flash Player Item, but it seems like it can't access the options.xml file.When I run the .swf OUTSIDE of the illustrator container, everything works as it is supposed toI thought it might be a security/permissions issue, but wouldn't that come into play even when it's run outside of illustrator

i have a xml gallery with a mouse hover scroll bar which loads up photos. I want to have this movie clip load into a container in my menu movie clip but whenever i try nothing shows up. I can load other movie clips fine. I am guessing its something to do with the xml.

View 2 RepliesLate night dumb question time:I have an SWF named "gallery.swf" that loads into an empty clip called "holder_mc" in the parent movie. How do I call a function from gallery.swf that replaces gallery.swf with a file called "purchase.swf" in holder_mc? The function I'm using looks like this:
Code:
function ProceedToCart():Void {
_root.mcLoader.loadClip("purchase.swf",_root.holder_mc);

i have main swf that loads external swf, here is the main FLA. the animation begins and stop at frame 71:
frame 71: there is empty movie clip with instance name container, this code in frame 1:

at this point, it loads sec1.swf, but when i click to load other swf, it will not respond.
I am doing a website with external swf using AS2 . The parent frame (container) is resizeable, the external swf is an animation. Some items draw outside external container. The external (swf with animation) will resize when parent frame (container) resized in scale.
The problem occurs when the parent frame resized, the flash programme define the width of external swf, such as the movieclips/jpeg outside the scene. (for example: both my Container and External swf are 1024x640. However, some of the graphics in the External Animation swf move outside this area. BUT the parent CONTAINER still RECOGNIZE and LOAD the content outside the defined stage.)
i found this izzue in FLEX, [URL]
Therefore, I would like to know if I could fix this in Flash CS3 (AS2) ?
I'm writing a preview site that will load SWFs/images from a URL into a preview pane. However, the primary problem I'm running into is actually loading these SWFs. It seems that the object/embed tags require width/height attributes. I will not know the exact size of these SWFs; in fact, I will know absolutely nothing about them.
What I'm asking is, what is the best way to load in these SWFs? Is there a library that exists to do this? Or do I need to do it myself?
I have a simple swf in an invisible <div>; when user mouseover's the <div> becomes visible.The swf has a ExternalInterface.addCallback( "..." , ... ) to create connection to js that needs to be called at load, such that by the time user mouseovers the flash-js connection is working.PROBLEM: on windows safari the flash does not go through its loading sequence until the user finally mouseovers

I have been trying endlessly to find a solution for a problem. All I want to do is to be able to load a loader container on to the stage and swap out each swf by hitting the corresponding btn. I found a code to do this and it works on static swfs but when I link xml photogallery swfs to it I get all kinds of output errors but the functions work in a browser. I know it is the code as I have tried 4 different kinds of xml photo galleries and all return similar output errors.
I know this is a bit of a pain in the @#$ but if someone could have a look at the zip file in the link below which contains a main.swf, an swf folder and one swf inside including all the xml. You will see what I mean. What I really need to acomplish is to have a set AS3 code for doing this, I'm sure a seasoned AS3 pro could look at the code in the file and see why I get the errors or I'll even settle for a code that works. I'm the kind of person that likes to know why something doesn't work and when it works I like to know how as well. This is one of the reasons I've been knocking myself out for days as you will see posts of mine about this.

I am creating a course that requires loading/unloading of several swfs in a container. My course structure is something like :
Course->Module01->src->test.as
->Module02->src->test.as
When I load file from Module01 in my container it works fine, but files from Module02 is not working as they should. They seem to be reading the code from the as file in Module01. The course works fine when I give the as files different names, but I want to keep the names as they are now as I have created several modules and sub-modules on similar structure.
I'm working with several nested movie clips. My Main container (the GUI), and the content MC's. The Main Container loads, via a button, another SWF file into the MC
"_root.content" (_root.content.loadMovie("filename.swf"))
Within that loaded swf file I've got a script to load information from an XML file, and add it to several dynamic text boxes. The XML loads fine, and the SWF file works fine, as long as it isn't in my container movie..
itmHeader = _root.attachMovie("movieName", "movieAlias")
I have tried root, parent, and this.. and none of them work while the SWF file is loaded into the container movie.. and the only one that works when I run the SWF file by it's self _root.attachMovie is the only command that shows the information as intended (at all).
I've got a movie clip that consists of a few other movie clips. This is to maintain a certain degree of order in the chaos. I use action script to load the container mc on the stage. Now I want to change some properties of on of the contained mc's, but they seem to be unreachable. So I did a little testing and I found out that when you just place an instance on the stage, those contained MC's are accesable, you can see in the debugger that the container MC contains other stuff. But if the MC is loaded with attachMovie(), the debugger does not show that the container has other mc's within it, and therefor I cannot change the properties of those mc's.
View 1 RepliesI have multiple thumbnails and when you click on one thumbnail I want the larger image to externally load into a container. When you click on another thumbnail I want the current large image to fade out and the new image externally load in. Now I can handle this, but I am trying to make everything easier by not reproducing the same loadMovie code over and over again for every thumbnail.
I assume I do this by using some sort of loop and vars, but this is pushing my abilities of Action Script. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial, that is easy to follow and understand for a new Action Script sort of person?? I have searched and can't find anything I can follow and understand very well..
I have an empty movie instance called 'contentClip' sitting in an swf called 'middle' on the main timeline. I have a number of buttons to call external swfs into the contentClip but I'm struggling with the exact script. I am creating a fluid layout so I am using an actionscript file to place the header, footer and middle sections. The script I have for the buttons follows but my poor knowledge is creating a new instance rather than filling my contentClip instance.

I'm loading a txt file that I use to load jpg's (no PHP):
PHP Code:
<a href="asfunction:_global.loadMovie,flag_1.jpg">flag 1
</font></a>
It works like a charm, but now I want the "container" to fade in the jpg's.
Code:
_global.loadMovie = function(url) {
container.loadMovie(url);
fadein();
};
function fadein() {

The container fades in, but not 100% _alpha(about 40% I guess)!
