I have a xml carousel gallery in AS2 that works great, except I want it to unload when I click a button that takes me to another frame or scene. Right now it just stays in the middle of the screen.
Here is my flash code for the gallery and a button for the frame (this code all works, I just want to unload the gallery when I click the button, go to a different frame, scene or whatever) [code]...
I came across a lesson on [URL]titled "Vertical 3D Carousel with AS3 and XML".
I completed the tutorial and all worked fine so I then wanted to load the swf into a existing project. The loading of the swf goes fine and when I unload my loader it is removed but only visually as in my output panel in flash CS5 I get an error as follows
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at carousel_c_fla::MainTimeline/moveCarousel()
this error repeats over and over again slowing my swf movie.
So does this mean my main flash movie trying to still play / find my unloaded 3D Carousel?
If so how do I unload remove all the AS3 that is trying to run from the 3D Carousel?
I have included the AS3 below from the tutorial page and I understand that this is what I have to remove to "break free" from the 3D Carousel swf when it is unloaded. This is where I am stuck as my knowledge of AS3 is limited
//Import TweenMax
import com.greensock.*;
//The path to the XML file (use your own here)

View 5 RepliesI'm currently trying to add an image galley, something like this [URL] into into the carousel from gotoandlearn [URL]. What I'm trying to achieve is, every icon would have its own image gallery with different images beside it.

Here is the scenario... I am attempting to create a carousel image gallery each image is accompanied by a url that when pressed will take the viewer to an external website. I am pulling this information from an xml document "images.xml". I am using a dynamic textfield with an instance name "links" to hold the urls. The problem is the URLs are not changing when I selected a new image. How can I make it so that when a user clicks on image1 for example they'll get "View Google" and when they click on image2 they'll get "View YouTube" etc?
Here is my XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<images><image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<urltxt><a href="[URL]">Cops</a></urltxt>
<image src="img/Layer-2.png" />
<urltxt><a href="[URL]">Dogs</a></urltxt>

I need to make an image gallery that uses a carousel style animation...minus the 3D part.Basically, we'll have an array of images loaded from an XML file...could be any number of images.The stage will have 5 images lined up edge to edge. Each image will be 300x200, but masked to only show the middle 100x200 pixels. The image in the middle (the third one) will be fully visible, with the mask showing all 300x200 pixels of the image.When the user clicks on the next or previous buttons, the entire row of images will slide over and the new middle one will animate open to show the full image.
Screen shot of basic idea: Loading the XML and images and such is no problem...adding them to the stage and setting a mask for each, no problem.It's the actual functionality of getting the whole group to slide at once and the next image mask in line to animate into the center position while the current center position mask animates back down to normal.
I created a flash site and on the gallery page I load a gallery .swf and I want to be able to click on the "about" and "contact" buttons and have it go to there page and unload the gallery swf. This is the code I have on the gallery frame
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
function startLoad(){
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code] .....
I need to go from one keyframe with a gallery, I need that gallery to unload and go to another keyframe called "contact" but when I do it always comes with
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

In the 1st. gallery keyframe I have the following it's the button called: contact03_btn that needs to execute the function (see highlight)
var galWid:uint=879.95;

There are 3 pics each in FASHION SPORTS and BEAUTY catergory and 10 and 5 in ENTERTAINMENT and COVERS respectively. All is ok but when i click on FASHION or other categories having less pics the pics from the earlier categories ( e.g. ENTERTAINMENT ) wont leave the stage. Also the unLoadGallery() function is giving an error message that ' This code is making flash to run slower. Would you like to stop this script?'.
I have an XML gallery and I want in the next button function to "unload" all content and load new XML file.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have parameterised movie clips on the stage. By clicking each one, a thumbnail gallery, that is loaded from an xml file should apear. The problem is that if an xml file has less photos than the previous, the new apear, but the old also maintain. So how can I reset/unload the previous gallery, before the new one apears? [code]...
View 0 RepliesI have begun to build a vertical gallery. I have it set up to follow an xml document and it loads rather quickly. While the loading works, the unloading is not so hot. I can't figure out how to unload the container_mc which contains all the thumbnails. I intend to develop this page in as3 primarily so that I can adopt it to other projects. The arrangement is two vertical boxes on the right and left, a text box at the bottom in between the two vert boxes, and a fullscreen box in the center. The drawn squares are only being used as placeholders for real art right now.
As it stands, I can use either button to load the gallery, but when I click the next gallery it unloads everything, but it does not reload the next gallery. I want the buttons to load their respective galleries. I figure once I set up the structure for 2 galleries, I can make more.
var Gal_Array1:Array = new Array();
Was my attempt at loading the thumbs into an array, and later clearing it but I don't think it works (I think it would only double the amount of thumbs?). How to properly load and unload the container_mc?
Code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;

I want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

I'm trying to unload an external SWF on _root to load a new one instead. I've tried (almost) everything but can't figure it out... I get this error : "Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."

What I want to do is to make a gallery based on the tutorial gallery here (thumbs), but I want the user to be able to choose different galleries from within the movie. I figured that I could make a loop to cycle through the galleries, then nest another loop inside it to cycle through the pics, captions and thumbs. While I wrote, I constantly tested the output with trace commands, but when I tried nesting the loop I lost all output.. I'm pretty new to both Flash and Actionscript, so if theres an obvious solution I havent been able to see it.. This is my temp XML file:

Im using a dock gallery fx from flash xml components. But for some reason when I preview in browser the dock gallery scales out of the swf area. This doesnt happen if i change the p[ublish setting to match movie. But if the publish setting is set to perscentage gallery scales.

View 1 Repliesi am trying to add extra images to the photo gallery attached. I would have thought it is easy and it seems so. I add an extra image to the gallery. I publish it. The html file shows the extra image in the gallery but the swf doesnt. driving me crazy, cant work it out?
View 14 RepliesI've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.
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 have a flash site that I'm working with that has an xml photo gallery as one of it's menu items. the photo gallery has three pages, all three containing thumbnail images that once clicked, load the larger image. The larger image dissolves in covering the page with the image. Once you click the larger image it dissolves out returning you to the gallery.
What I want to to do is to change the first page of this gallery to a video gallery, or player, leaving the other two galleries as image galleries. I tried simply replacing the images listed in the xml document to flv files and the flv file does not load. I simply want to know what it is I need to do in order to change this one page so that I can embed videos on it.
I've attached the Action script that loads the xml gallery in .txt format
i am trying to put some things together following the tutorials on this site. I did the tutorial 'Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash'and I followed it step by step and uploaded it with all the necessary files onto my remote server (xml file, Gallery folder, fla, swf, and html) - however, when I test the movie with flash, it seems to work fine (except the description test, my question to that later), but when I test it online it shows only the first image (but displays the correct number of images in the gallery); even when clicking the next button, it keeps loading the first image the first image. In other galleries (I use the structure for multiple galleries for my portfolio) the first image never loads at all.
Also, about the description text, in between the <caption> and </caption>, can I use <strong> and <em> and <br /> to change the appearance of my text? All it says is 'null'.If you want to look at what I mean check out my portfolio in the making. The problem with the first image displaying only is under 'paintings' and both the projects in 'design - packaging'. The second problem (no picture loading at all) is on some of the buttons in 'design - identity' (where I have not changed the description text of the tutorial yet).
Again,
I'm working with Lee Brimelow's code from his first tutorial on carousels at [URL]. I'm wondering how to add in different mc's so I'll have more than just one rotating? I'm rotating houses for real estate, so I've got all my mc's made, and labeled (item, item2, item3, item4), I just can't figure out how to get each in there...

how can I make a carousel effect similar to this website? Is there an easy program to assist? Is it flash?
