I attempting to make a slideshow like the one on this page: [URL] But i was wondering if it is possible to change the code so that if you click on the main image, another image could come up next to it? (I'm making a portfolio site, and i want people to click on one of the main images to then see a detail image next to it).

I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.thedate =
I've built a custom FLV player that needs to rely on a PHP script to serve it FLV files in order to control access to those files. My player uses the FLVPlayback component.My actionscript makes a call like this to the PHP script:[code]When tested, the FLVPlayback component simply won't accept the FLV served up to it in this way. It WILL work if loading directly from the file system, so I know my actionscript works. I can load just about any other type of file into Flash this way,including JPG and SWF. FLV is the only format that doesn't work.I've added the video/x-flv MIME Type to all test servers I've tried this on, so the server should recognize the file.
I am using loadvariablesnum to load some variables from my php doc, is there a way i can test to see if its loaded or not to jump to the next frame..? Right now I am having it load into a string.text to test if there is text in it, but I don't want to use a string.text
what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".
[URL]
below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title"> <section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" > <frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content
Is there a way to load an XML file if it's on a differen server/domain than the html/swf file? I already set allowScriptAccess="all" but it didn't seem to help.
I am trying to use the FLV Playback component to load FLV's dynamiclly into the flash movie.What I have is a asp page with a Recordset pulling the URL from the DB into the page using Dreamweaver. This is all fine.Now I have one instance of the FLVPlayback on the stage with flash .I am trying to load the url for the FLV file into the movie, via ASP, MsSQL and a url parameter. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a link on a page with a url that will open a popup window. In this window I will have the Flash file that will load the FLV based on the URL, and play it.
I used a sample of macromedia to get a XML file with the names to the swf files i want to import in the stage. That works (for now). But now i also want to at a link (using getURL();) to the movieclip where the swf file is placed.
PS. i used gallery_tween.fla from the sample folder if someone wants to know...
The flash movie in my server (www.mydomain.com) is trying to access data from a different domain (www.otherdomain.com). I've placed the crossdomain.xml in the webroot of the otherdomain. I am getting flash error on accessing the data from otherdomain. When I tracked the HTTP request sent, it shows only one request with URL: https:[url]....
INET_E_SECURITY_PROBLEM.Its clear from this result that IE is not able to load crossdomain.xml file from otherdomain.The same application works in Mozilla Firefox and failing in IE6.
In my Flash application, the SWF file is located on a serverand is downloaded to clients in a controlled network. I want to beable to load XML data located on the client machines into the SWFfile. It looks like security settings is not allowing thi tohappen, as the local files are treated as a separate sandbox.If I were to use System.security.allowDomain, how do Ipecify local files? It's not a domain or URL. Or is there another way to do this? I'm wading through thesecurity information, but I haven't found the solution yet.

I see my accented characters displaying properly in my text editor. And I've confirmed that my font is OK in Flash by testing a dynamic text box--the accents in the test appear OK, so it's not the XML file or the font, it seems to be the XML loader itself.My XML file looks like this (there are Latin accented characters in the text node:[code]
An image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it.The "IPTC Core" metadata usually includes the photographers name,address, title, description, etc.Is there any way to access this information using Flash so that, say, captions for images in a flash gallery could be generated automatically?
I am creating a slideshow within Flash that uses XML data pulled from a database. Is there any way to manipulate the image size from within Flash? I am going to use the slideshow for a plasma display, and have clients uploading image files at random, which are then added to our database. I need each image to be 16:9. I know the easy way to control this would be to give the clients size requirements - we will do this in the future - but unfortunately there are hundreds of images already in the database that are already odd sizes. While it's clearly possible to change the size of the movie itself, is there a way to force each image that is imported from the XML to be a particular size - say 800 x 450 or 1200x 675 or 1600 x 900? (i.e. -- can I force the XML generated image to fill up the whole screen/browser window, regardless of what size it is?) It does not matter if the image gets distorted or stretched.
I have a question about the optimization of pictures placedin a Flash stage.If I put a big sized pictures (for example: 1024 x 1024) andif, in the final result, the picture is downscaled on the Flashstage (for example : 200x200 pixels), once the swf is created ,will the picture be as heavy as before it was downscaled, when theflash web site will be loaded in browse
