Banner / Image Rotator - Looking For Resources
Feb 26, 2009
I am a web developer (CF and ASP.net) working on a new project. I toyed with flash back around the beginning of Flash MX around the early 2000's. Basically I am looking for direction on this -- I would like to have a small flash movie that displays a collection of pictures with some sort of transition. Ideally, I would like to pull the image paths from a database and rotate through them at some time interval. This seems like something that shouldn't be too difficult - and I am sure it has been done thousands of times - I am surprised I cannot find more information through google searches. Maybe I am not keying on the correct terms!??!? Anyways, If anyone could provide some direction - I am hoping that I can pick it up with a little push. Having not touched flash in 7 or 8 years, I am kind of stuck getting started.

I am looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator, something where I can load my images into the FLA and publish. The only rotators I can seem to find have external XML/image files, etc. All I want to do is create simple SWF's that I can use to display rotating images preferably is a smooth and stylish manner. Does anyone know of any, or could point me in the right direction?

I have a banner rotator / slideshow with 30 swf's. I have an xml file driving the lideshow. My problem is that I have video pop-ups in each of the 30 linked swf's and a geturl in each of the swf's. I need to be able to drive this content from the xml file. Is that possible? to read an xml file from a linked swf?

I am trying to modify a template that has a banner rotator. Instead of having a bunch of images rotate, I would like just one .swf file. So I removed all the other image tags in the XML and changed the one I want to
<image path="ad/01.swf" link="" />
However, nothing displays. I assume its because the actionscript must be set up to display swf's differently. I found in the code a few refernces to this...
When the page loads, it calls "setRotator". Inside "setRotator" is the loadImage call. Here are both functions.
Code:
private function setRotator():void
{
if (_randomize) loadImage( _xmlList[ _randomArray[_count] ].@path, _xmlList[

I am trying to load an external swf (Banner Rotator) to an existing swf (website).My problem is that the banner rotator I am trying to add totally changes the display of my site which I had coded to resize to browsers and remain central.Here is the live website before I have added the Banner Rotator: URL...and this is what happens to it after I add the code:my website.This is the code I used to load the external swf, it is within a an MC within an MC on the stage:[code]I am utterly confused as to how to sort this out, and am getting very close to my deadline (2 days away!).

i'm making a preloader for my banner rotator, but the reason to be here writing this post is to ask for help to fix a bug in my preloader, for example: When I click on a button to change the image while the preloader is counting it simply starts counting the the bytesLoaded of old image + the new image(bytes) of the button I've clicked. Then the percentage goes over the 100% ... I didn't want to disable the button, I know is possible in some way but I am not finding success.

I want to create an image rotator that looks similar to the one in the upper RHS of joinred dot com. I'd like it to have images that are a bit bigger than the one on that site. However, I like the thing about them coming in from the right, as well as the effect, being a bit distorted and then becoming clear.

I've found this xml driven banner rotator here on Kirupa from Mr. Daytripper.It's great (with preloader, xml controlled transitions, speed, urls) but I need to be able to add additional control with a 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 buttons that would jump to image 1, 2, 3 or 4 and maybe pause/play.I've added the buttons but don't have any idea how to control the arrays/variables.
I'm attempting to make it like a standard banner rotator like you might see on the homepage of Target.com, Bestbuy.com, but honestly the code is a beyond me.

I'm trying to create an image rotator in flash that is powered by XML that just continually rotates through the images (fading into an image and fading out, and then fading into the next image, etc).I've managed to load the XML file and get the location of the image files for each image:[code]and I've managed to load the last image in the XML into a movieclip by putting this line:imageHolder.loadMovie(myImage[i].attributes.image); under the var imageURL = myImage[i].attributes.image line.I can't work out how to:
1. Display one image at a time instead of just the last image in the XML file
2. Fade in and out between each images (I was trying to use Tweenlite to do this and think I can get it to work once I know how to do the above point)
3. How to continually repeat through all the images.

I want to put a flash banner(slider) to show a bunch of products iteratively. And I want it to allow interaction so the user can interrupt image looping and choose what she wants to see and what images to show how long it will be shown should be configurable. I already googled for 'flashe banner / slider' but with no luck. Is there any open source projects that can offer this kind of feature? Or tools that can help me to create one.

I found Vectorlight which is quite good, but are there any tutorials or books about doing cool effects with silverlight. I'm after for resources focused more for a designing and presentation. Mostly the books about Silverlight is focused on doing boring business applications like making grids and forms.

I'm not really looking for a specific answer but really more something that I can target my research around. Here is what I'm working with: -this all need to pre-load. -I need to build a flash image banner -When you click a image they take you to a corresponding HTML page. -The first few images in the banner sequence need to play in sequential order so for example image00, image01, image02 in order. -Then once the first few images have played in sequential order images will be selected and played at random. Now here is the tricky part the random image selection can't pick to of the same images in a row. -The universal transition from one image to the next should be an alpha fade down of the top image exposing the random or sequential image below. Yeah I know that a real mouth full.

I have a site I have created for a client which features a flash header image, the only problem is he accessed a draft of the site on his iPhone and was put off by the fact it didn't display any of the head image as it was an iPhone (which as we know are not flash happy!). Also, I would need this anyway incase the visitor has flash turned off or uninstalled (I have provided the usual 'install flash' link when flash isn't displayed).Is there a way I can do this with just HTML/CSS or will I have to use JS or something similar?I have tried adding tags but this does nothing.
<div id="container">
<div id="header"><a href="index.html"><img src="images/logo.jpg" width="214" height="50" alt="Tom Frost - Personel Trainer in Leeds, West Yorkshire" style="border:none;"/></a></div>[code].........
Obviously my flash image is in the title_box div.

I want to incorporate a scrolling image banner into my website, and found a great tutorial on youtube which works well.I can't post a link unfortunately.It is a pretty basic image scroller that has a series of images scrolling across the screen in an infinite loop. Direction is controlled by mouse position (extreme left or right), and it will stop when the mouse is positioned over an image in the center area.Here's the code:
var myVar:Boolean;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(e:Event) :void[code]....
After trying to figure this out through forums such as this for days, it seems that my answer is to use XML (which I do not know, and which I think would require completely starting over).Is there any way to do this in AS3?
Again, I'm a novice user, but understand the basic animation tools of flash to feel comfortable using it as the platform to make this work. I'd like to be able to switch out images/links as necessary, and feel good about my ability to use flash to do that.

I'm having a strange issue with an incremental rotator. Using Tweener, i just want a square to rotate by 15 degrees each time the stage is clicked. This works perfectly until the rotation get larger than 200. At that point the square spins a full loop before landing on the correct location. All I'm looking for is to have it be +=15 from where it currently is.[code]
