I really hate when you read a tutorial from some "expert" and what it tells you to do is wrong. I was doing a tutorial for a XML slide show, and the last line of code doesn't work quite right:

For some reason that only sends the my_playback_counter to 1. And it just sits there twitching. So when I tried to change the tutorial code to:

I have downloaded an excellent slide show tutorial from Slideshow.as[URL] and being new to As3 I very basically attached and removed the downloaded slide show on and off the stage with a simple button which fired the following code: addChild(); to make the slides appear and a removeChild(); to remove them. This worked fine until I quickly realised that each time the slide show was re added it had doubled in speed until after a few re loads it was wizzing through

I'm having problems with a simple flash site that contains a scrolling slide show, that uses a .xml file.I was sent a .fla file that I couldn't open with MX 2004 ... I asked them to save it as a MX 2004 file. They sent it back, and I was able to open it.The problem is ... when I save it as a .swf the slide show doesn't work.The .swf & .xml files are on the same level in the directory, and the .swf path to the .xml file is correct, also the .xml to the image folder path is correct.I have spent hours going through this, and can't get it to work.I have added images to the .xml file, and they show up (I am using the original .swf) so the .xml file is OK, and again the path from .xml to the images folder is correct. This is the working .swf file (click on the portfolio link )Now ... imagine no images there, and that's what I'm getting when I save the .fla as a .swf.Other changes I make to the .fla are working properly ... just the slideshow is the problem.Did something happen when the .fla was saved as a MX 2004 that caused the .xml part to stop working?IM not a whiz at actionscript, but I have gone over it several times, and can't see anything that looks out of place.

View 2 RepliesI'm developing a new website one with a dynamic slideshow which can be found here. [URL] The problem is, after weeks of it working it all of a sudden now has issues loading the xml data into the swf. The swf loads but nothing displays in it, this worked and I changed nothing but updated the graphics which would display in it. If you hit refresh an untold number of times eventually it loads. To me this sounds like a server issue, but I'm not sure.
I've tried updating my flash player, updated the swfobject.js to the latest one I could find. I've made all my .js local on the server instead of calling externally to a source. I'm not sure what the problem might be. I've attached a working and not working example graphic to this post. I've tested this out on 7 different PC's both of which running either Windows 7 or Windows XP. Out of 7, 4 of them load the slideshow properly each and every time. 3 of them however loads it, but will randomly get the issue where it doesn't load properly.
i am doing a slideshow with images occuring randomly wch hav clickable links,okay it works but at times the transition is very fast instead of the 8s interval i expect ,when i view the trace() output ,i have noted that at times the timer is triggerd twice or more simultaneously...my code is below...what maybe the cause may u kindly assist i have 21 frames with 21 images

I'm trying to make a slide-show that adjusts to the width or height of the stage, and eventually, of the web browser window. I was able to load and resize a picture by writing code on the timeline, but I got the Error #1009 (Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference) when I put this slide show into another movie clip loader (which chooses between different swf pages of the website, with the purpose of keeping the swf file sizes down). By the way, my "slide-show" loads the picture fine. When I use the movie clip loader to load this "slide-show" it works too. Only when I use the Flash Player to open it, it gives me the Error 1009. I looked around on actionscript.org, and everyone seems to be recommending the folowing code (or something like it):[code]
I also ran into some information about document classes and I figure maybe I should be using document classes to make this stuff more modular and reusable. So I put my slide-show code into an .as file, importing all the flash.xxx.* classes, and put it in a package and class and constructor function... in the same directory as my swf file, and set it as the document class to a blank fla file. Then I tested it and all I got was a blank swf. This is without the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE code. I guess I don't know how to get the document class thingy working either. So my question is, can someone tell me how I can change my slide-show code into a working document class without the Error 1009?r?[code]
I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart and there is additonal functionality attached to it to affect it's movement which I'm not too worried about although it would be nice)
Code:

I am using currentSlide.gotoNextSlide to change between slides, however I can't make it stop playback on load of each slide.I have a motion tween with I need to NOT play automatically when the slide loads... but no matter how many iterations of stop(), gotoAndStop(), etc I use, nothing will stop the clip from playing when it is loaded!
View 1 RepliesIn my asp.net application,I want to show the .ppt file using the slide show manner.
That's to say,user can upload .ppt file to my server side,then other people can browser these ppts in the page ..
Since I have googled "embed powerpoint in web page" ,it seems that there is not a good idea to implement this and support the cross browser,so I thought the flash.
This is a slide show using the flash: [URL]
What I want is show the contents of the .ppt in this manner(it would be better if it support the animations in the ppt)?
I have a project that I am working on the requires something simple but I can't find tutorials/examples of how to do this.
I need to create a slideshow so that when a user clicks an arrow - an image will slide off the screen and another image will move onto the screen (as if there is a long strip of images that move on and off the screen).
I have the images as a long continuous strip, and they should slide onto the screen with each click of the arrow. Then at the end of the strip of images I would like them to quickly bounce back to the beginning.
Something similar to what I want to do, only done in Flash[url]...
I am building a slide show in Flash 4. I have a series of slides that I want to automatically advance from slide to slide in order after 10 seconds. Is there a slide control in flash for this? Is there an actionscript for this?

View 5 RepliesI have a slide presentation that was created in Flash CS3 and I now need to get it into Quicktime format. I have been able to get the export to movie function to work but the resulting video is only the first slide no matter how long I set the "After time elapsed:" setting to in the QuickTime Export Settings dialogue box. This makes sense because the slide show requires the user to press the space bar to proceed to the next slide.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to build a small slideshow using as3. I have built it on a transition extension. i have it working, but all the images are loaded into the library, given a class name to reference them and the rest is done based on the class names.in the as3 code a array has been set up all the class names listed like this:
Code:
image_movieclip_array = [
Image1,
Image2,
Image3
]
I have taken it a step further and created a xml file listing the url to the photos i want to load in but this is where i am lost the urls are being read successfully in, so the code can access the urls but im not sure from there how I actually import the images in, or how to assign each a seperate class , does the addchild command assign a class name that i can add to the above array?
I've created a series of images that fade in and out. When i run the movie the transition from the last picture which fades out to the first image is not smooth. it transitions from a faded out image to a 100% opacity image

Namely mono slide show works nice, but something is wrong or missing in the code, because it puts the picture, that is pulled thru xml on top of everything.

View 3 RepliesI have a simple slide show with a forward & backward button, as well as a play & pause button.
The play/pause buttons toggle visability with this code (on its own actionscript layer)[code]...
However, this didn't work - at least not the way I wanted. This code causes the pause button to show up when you cycle through the images and get back to frame one - somehow forcing the net stream to play again.
tell by my code why that would happen? I'd at least like to know how to show the pause button whilst it's playing and vice-versa for the play button.
