i'm making a horizontal scrolling thumbs bar and before i complete it i want to load each thumb at a time. i'm posting my code(though incomplete at the time but sufficient for what i want help for)[code]
View 2 RepliesI have created this XML image viewer from multiple sources and Scotty's help . I have run into a problem where my thumbnails I load are quite large .swfs...and I need to preload them all until I run the grid_maker_01 function to display them. I have tried many things...but still am having a problem. I need to preload all the thumbs first, THEN display them.

gallXML.ignoreWhite = true;
gallXML.onLoad = gallery;
gallXML.load ("gallery.xml");[code]....
this has to be an array, so that I can give all thumbnails together an order. I thought this was an array, but I can't get control over this. When I trace 'thumbHolder', I get back only the last thumb. If I trace 'this', than I get the right one. i.e:
_level0.thumbnails.thumbnail4) */
thumbHolder._y = i * spacing;
thumbHolder.title = picHolder.attributes.title;[code].....
I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.
I need to get more control over the thumbnails.

I've been busy to understand the Bokel class, but I couldn't find a good tutorial about thumbnail threatment.
I am quite new to the more advanced coding so here's an easy one for you: I have three images (thumb1, thumb2, thumb3) that I want to load onto the first row. then I want the second row to contain bar1 and bar2.
Obviously this code doesn't work...but I was able to get it to do just the first row (the easy part). How do i get the second set to load in below them? I just left the code off where I left off in my head.I would love it if you could just comment or complete my code rather than pointing me to a tutorial.

I have done this tutorial here at kirupa for transitions. My problem is that I am also using a swf file that has an array that calls in jpegs dynamically. So, how can I modify the preloader script to also include the dynamically loading jpegs as well as preloading normal swf files? Here is the script that is inside the swf that is calling the jpegs.
Code:
var imgList:Array = new Array();
imgList[0] = "images/coral.jpg";
[code]....
I've been fighting with this for a while now, I am trying preload several jpgs who's locations are stored in an XML file and then display them sequentially (building a vertical list of thumbnails). What I'm having trouble to figure out is how to preload all the images with one preloader and only when all the iloading is done, to start building the list...I saw something similar here on the Forums, but couldn't manage alter it to fit my needsHere's the code I'm using:
Code:
stop();
this.listContainer.setMask(deviceFontMask);

I'm creating an image gallery (similar to the one that is posted in the tutorials at kirupa) but with one difference. Rather than loading each file individually when they are called, I want to preload the whole array of images first and then let the user sift through them. I've tried attaching them into a nested movie clip that has a preloader on it, but it seems that Flash is too quick and will decide the file is loaded before the JPGs are imported.

I wrote this script a while ago and it's worked extremely well for me ever since. I use it in nearly every project I do. But the other day I was asked to do a project where I could only use Flash 7.
This is a class I made to easily handle multiple file preloading by passing it an array of files to load. It only has two useful methods. One gets you the current total progress (total of all the files 0-100%) and an onLoadComplete. The actual usage is in the top of the file. It works great under Flash 8, so go ahead and use it.
I have a button and every Time I click it I want some mc instances to be added to a queue [an array]. Oncce the button is pushed for the very first time I'd like a progress bar start loading and when it hits the end, then I want to add the child to the stage, and the remaing ones that would still sit in the array, would be added to the stage too as soon as the are built [the progress bar thing]. What I want to recreate is the warcraft 3 unit building system

My main mc contains 2 empty mc's in which i'm loading 2 seperate swf's into using this fine queue tut. The preloader currently displays a loading bar and description for each swf as it loads... BUT, is there an easy way to modify the preloader bar/code so you only see a single bar/percentage for both loads?

View 3 RepliesSo, i'm currently working on an xml based banner. The banner has seven "pages," each with it's own image and url (specified in the xml file).A preloader loads in the swf, and then another loader in the main swf loads in the xml and images (displaying percent loaded and whatnot).
The problem that I'm running into is that I can't figure out how to access the previously loaded images when I want to call my transition function... I added as many comments in the fla as I could, if there are any questions feel free to post, I'll be here all night.
All in all, I need a second set of eyes to skim my project and help me streamline the process.

I am trying to implement a queue for loading external assets. Is there a way to make what I am trying to do work?Basically, each time a loading handler function is called, it gets the loaded data and then it calls loadComplete(), which triggers the next function in the loadQueue array.I am able to successfully place a function into a variable of type Function and then call it, but the part where I am adding the variable to an array is failing.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

View 2 RepliesI have a Flex application where some interactions cause many objects to require visual updates all at once. These updates translate into state changes for many MXML based components which have state based transitions. The transitions look great when just a handful of the components animate at the same time... but when all of them animate at once... the Flash Player just can't keep up.
Any ideas on how to create something of an animation pipeline so that everything can have a chance to keep up?

Been looking around this forums (without result) how I can add a square to make a 1 pixel border around my thumbs. I've been using following gallery

change to the original code off the gallery.
I am attempting to run the XML Photo Gallery with Thumbnails from the tutorial, but contained within an empty movie clip of another swf. I've been trying to rebuild my website in Flash and I was attempting to utilize this external gallery to keep the file size down. The Test Movie of the thumbnail_initial.swf works perfectly on its own, but the thumbnails no longer scroll when I test the website.swf that I have loaded thumbnail_initial into. I created an empty movie clip (analog_mc) and placed it where I want the gallery to load. On the page containing analog_mc (timeline path is Scene1 / siteContent / analogFrame), I have tried both of the following code in the actions layer:
analog_mc.loadMovie("thumbnail_initial.swf");
and
loadMovie("thumbnail_initial.swf", analog_mc);
I get the same result with either: the gallery loads correctly where I've placed the analog_mc empty movie clip, the first three thumbs appear across the bottom, the Previous and Next buttons function, but the thumbnails do not scroll. I am using Flash CS3 on Vista, my AS skills are elementary as well as my XML.
I'm trying to make a code to load my thumbs 1 by 1. It should start to load the next thumb, once it's ready with the previous one.
I'm reading my thumbs out of an xml. It seems like it's placing them randomly.
Code:
var numPics = galleryList.length;
function placeThumbs() {
var i = 0;
