Actionscript 3.0 :: Xml Gallery With Background Foto Loading?
Jan 14, 2009
I'm doing as 3 + xml gallery, my client want photos to be loaded in the background, so first we load one foto, user cant change the photo until the next one is loaded. so I am loading the photos until each of them is fully loaded, when the foto is loaded I use the addChild and set alpha of the photo to 0. The problem is this gallery works like shoot. The animations has like 2fps and everythink is laggy :/ any ideas why? I thought loading photos is not so exhausting for flash player.
I want to make flash gallery's background fully transparent. Now it looks like it is like 30% transparent. This is the code for flash movie on my page:
<div id="content"> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]" width="800" height="600" id="gallery" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /> <param name="movie" value="gallery.swf" /> [Code] ..... Looks like this on page (Flowers and white square):
Basically what I've got is a XML loaded gallery as a background for a web page. Now the problem I can't seem to work out is, I want to be able to define which pictures in the gallery show up in different sections of the website. For example - homepage - images 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3.jpg are accessible. About Us - images 4.jpg, 5.jpg and 6.jpg are accessible. and so on. Similar to what happens on [URL] but without the gallery popping up. It's relay bugging me now.
I am try to adapted a new action in the photo Gallery Using XML and Flash. I am trying add a color function? You can see what I am trying todo here I want the color to change when you goto the next image?? I hope this make sense. I just don't know where to add it? to the xml or the fla?
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
I am creating a website where the entire background is tiled and it also contains a photo gallery. Now, the photo gallery has to only appear within a limited height but the width could be similar to the browser window. (The website will be a full browser website with a capability of going fullscreen.). I tried a lot of things but the stage calculation requires to be a little different than the general stage properties.
In general, the height and width of the image is directly proportional to those of the stage. But what I am looking at is for the image to be rescaled proportionally to the width of the stage but the height nneds to be about 20-30% less than the height of the actual stage. Basically the background will be visible in that 20-30% of empty space. (And of course other elements)
My scaling of the image code looks like following, Code: function scalePic():void { if ((stageHeight / stage.stageWidth) < imHeight) { im.width = stage.stageWidth; im.height = imHeight * im.width; [Code] ..... And it also centers the image on the stage based on the new stage size.
I'm creating a photo gallery from xml with a changing background color and description which i've gotten to work fine, however, the border that goes around my image and the image itself are supposed to be centered on stage and they aren't even though i set their x and y to the center of the stage the line after
I have tried a lot of different google searches to find an answer to my problem, but have come away more confused than anything! Also i'm working in AS2 (using Flash CS3).I have main.swf loaded first, and all I want is a series of swf's to load invisibly in the background so they are ready to appear instantly when accessed.
I am trying to load swf file as a child to the background of the parent (master_swf)unfortunately when I am loading external swf it come in the front of the parent, This is a complex presentation so I dont want to create master of a master to load the child and the "master" to a super master..This is my loading code of the swf:
///////////////////////////////////////// var introStage:Loader = new Loader(); introStage.load(new URLRequest("C:/flashFiles/SwfAnimation/Intro.swf")); introStage.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Even t.COMPLETE, introStop);

I have a gallery of photos made and i have this little problem.When i run the files from my pc it works just fine but when i upload it to my server it doesn't run . It stacks at preloaders (wherever they are).What could it be going wrong? The gallery uses an xml file for loading externally the files.
I've inherited a website with a huge (2.5MB) flash menu system and would like to know if there is an elegant way to load it in the background from maybe an intro page that redirects to the home page after a certain amount of time - or possible when the menu is done loading.
It seems that this should be a simple thing but I can't figure it out. I would just like my visitors to see a beautiful, still, jpg image in the space where my flash movie is loading...until it is fully loaded. I tried putting a background image in the cell (using Dreamweaver MX) but once I import the swf file, I can no longer see what's in the background.
When I select the flash movie in MX it only allows me to select a background color, not an image. I know that I can use a preloader of some sort to let people know there is flash content loading but I would rather use the opportunity to show a professional photo. Do I have to set this up the same way a preloader is set up but with a single frame maybe or is there an easier way.
I am loading two rss from my server, one is for detail of my videos and second is for news.
Now when user will search video i am taking data from my server based on search, and the news will be arrived every 10 seconds.
My Problem is that when the news rss code will be executed then its displaying me loading icon on the screen, so i would like to make this news process in background, so viewer's do not see this process (loading icon), and user think that new are coming automatically.
My AS3 Code is as below.
ActionScript Code: loadnews(); function loadnews():void {
I have google everywhere ..no real solution (or one which i could grasp). How can I stop the background swf from not loading up after index .html is refeshed.
I'm creating an interactive flash graphic about the ISS. The user can rotate the ISS in a 360� angle. I rendered the sequence in 120 steps, each step a jpeg-image of its own. To reduce bandwith-usage I dynamically preload the next 5 pics in the rotation-sequence. What I want to do now, is to load all the pics of the sequence quietly in the background, so when all pictures are loaded the flash switches from preloading the future pics to just showing the pictures loaded while the application is up and running. The problem is, if I try this, the flashapp will only start if the loading in the background is done. Is there any way of getting rid of that. My code is given below.
ActionScript Code: var loader_current_Minus1:Loader = new Loader(); var loader_current_Minus2:Loader = new Loader();
I have succesfully gotten the "loading a random background" to work. But now I want to try a couple of other things with it.I would like to adjust the size and alpha, which it isn't happening. And I would also like to repeat the the image (which was generated randomly) 4 other times on the page.So far I have place the random image and mask within a movie, and then placed it on the main timeline.That works great, then I am sliding same image from behind the first image to create a total of 5 images on my documento get the other 4 images on the main document have repeated the movie that holds the random image code, but nothing is showing up in the other 4 instances
How would i go about loading a set of images in the background? Just so that they are ready to go and I don't have to load them per image. I want to load the whole set for each section of a site.
I have got a free swf flash photo gallery of the internet. using dreamweaver cs4 to install the swf file,the file plays on my local browser but only some of the master images display on the live internet gallery. the navigation icons do notcan not figure out where the problem lies, is it in the flash code or the structure of the files in the directory. I have no idea
I'm trying to create a photo gallery using XML. I know there is a lot of tutorial on this, but I cannot make my particular code to work. Actually it seem to work, but only for the first image in the XML file, the others seem to be discarded.what I am doing wrong.Here is my XML code:
As you can see, I have an external swf file that loads into a container clip. When a user clicks on the next project button, or any other category, another image gallery starts loading. My question is, is there anyway to load the other galleries in the background while users browse through the loaded ones?
[URL]I have an external swf file that loads into a container clip. When a user clicks on the next project button, or any other category, another image gallery starts loading. My question is, is there anyway to load the other galleries in the background while users browse through the loaded ones? Is having an off-stage invisible movieclip with an loadMovie function the best way to do this, or is there a better method?
Just to get some professional opinions, is it possible to load in an external SWF and set that SWF's background to transparent?
This question has nothing to do with embedding the SWF in an HTML page. I already know that setting the WMODE to transparent will create a SWF with a transparent background in a browser.
