IDE :: Link To External URL From Kirupa Thumbnail Gallery
Aug 4, 2007
I amusing the great Kirupa Flash gallery and have tweaked it so that I only am using the thumbnail scroll box to link to external html or asp pages.The xml file all loads correctly, though when I pass the "link" to the getURL the output is the entire XML "link" node.[code]
but is there a way to make the thumbnails like, grid form, like in the examplerather than scroller? because i dont really like the scroller, and im not sure how to set them to grid
I'm getting quite comfortable with the XML thumbnail gallery here on the Kirupa site... but wondered if there was an easy way to have a preloader for the thumbnails? I don't really have an idea how to set up the code for that.
That said, I would like to alter some of the code to allow the thumbnail scrollbar to begin scrolling once the page has loaded. Here is what the code looks like as it is right now.
In Kirupa's tutorial, Adding Thumbnails, when an image is loaded in the thumbnail viewer, you are able to click on it and load an external page. I've been searching for a while, but I am unable to figure out how to accomplish this.
I am having problems formatting the XML Flash photo gallery. I can't seem to get the photos to center on the page. Some of my photos are vertical and others horizontal, and they are all pushed to the left. I don't want to make all the photos the same width. Is there any way to use css to style the xml? Or is there some other way to do it? Url...Also, if anyone notices any other problems with the gallery,please let me know. This is only the second thing I've done in Flash, and I may have made some mistakes when I changed things.
I am trying to edit the code from o that the effect will look more like a cross-fade. So what I am trying to do is have the next image pre-load, the previous image alpha fade from 100-0, while the new one fades from 0-100
I tried the tuto from Kirupa for photo gallery and xml .I modified the xml file with my own pictures.( I copied it and added the path to them)But when I try the swf this message appears :
Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/Desktop/divers%20flas%20et%20swfs/undefined". Here is an example of one of my xml picture nod : - <images> - <pic>
[code]....
This of course means that the image 1.jpg is in folder allimages which is in the folder divers flas et swfs.So why this undefined message ? Is it a wrong path ?
I've been trying to add more galleries the Kirupa Photo Gallery but so far unsuccessfull - i've modified things alittle, but it's mostly the same.
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { image = [];[code].....
This is as far as i can get before i get errors i cant get out by displaying image[i] in gallery[n].at the current time i can only get the number of galleries and display the images in the first gallery - not change between galleries.
I wanna remove the XML data loading part and replace it with a PHP/MySQL backend for better security and maintance and because XML text handling isnt the best way (in my opinion it s*cks big time) to show text. HTML text through php gives better looking text.What do I already have:- MySQL database and table (containing the fields: "file", "ordercode", description") were "file" is the full path to a image and its name.- PHP script what fetches the data from the table and send it towards FlashFlash output when receiving the array ("nog niet te koop" = ordercode, "tekst volgt nog" = description)
I am building a photo gallery for a friend using Kirupa's tutorial (located here: [URL]). The gallery is working out great except for one problem and that is using the keyboard left and right button. For some reason when I press the right arrow on the keyboard to go the next image it jumps to the third image, then the 5th, 7th, 9th etc. As you can see it keeps skipping one image, the same thing happens going backwards. However, when I use the onscreen previous/next buttons it cycles through just fine.
It's working fine but my problem is my thumbnails having different heights. The code supports only the fixed height thumbnails. Anybody having idea how to automatically adjust thumbnails gap with different heights.The code is below for adjusting the gap.. Red comment marked that area
Code: function thumbnails_fn(k) { thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); tlistener = new Object(); tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
I'm using Kirupa's Flash MX Photo Gallery located at [URL].When the script calls the images it's going to use, it says:
// fill this array with your pics this.pArray = ["image0.jpg", "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", "image3.jpg", "image4.jpg", "image5.jpg", "image6.jpg", "image7.jpg", "image8.jpg", "image9.jpg"];
How can I call these images' names from a simple external text file? Purpose: I want to have the ability to change the photos in the gallery quickly without tweaking the Flash file.
Does any of the code need to be changed in the photo gallery tutorial to make it function inside of a movie clip? I'm specifically wondering in regards to the "_root" My gallery is in a movie clip which I can't seem to get working w/attatchMovie though all my others work fine.
I made a xml gallery using kirupa's xml gallery tutorial and then i added thumbnails.It all works fine.Although i managed to have the jpg's loaded fullscreen i dont know how to use smoothing for the resize of the movieclip container. I have a code that resizes the movieclip to the dimensions of the stage onresize function.I'm trying to put in the code an attachBitmap function so i can have it with smoothing to true. But i haven't managed how yet.[code]
Is it possible to load backgrounds for the thumbnails in tutorial http:[url]...Now I have a mc containing multiple white backgrounds at 65x65px, which loads and places it under the loaded thumbnails (like a mask), but I would rather like it to load a singel mc, seperatly for each thumbnail. How can I do that?
I have followed Kirupa's XML Image Gallery tutorial. Before you ask, I have double checked my code. When I hit command+enter (mac) to preview it, everything works just fine. XML loads the correct images. My problem is when I publish it and upload it via FTP to my web server, ONLY the first image displays. When I click the next button, the first image fades out, but then it fades back in. The captions and image numbers change (like they're supposed to), but the image does not.
It remains on the first image. I know that it is able to access the XML because it loads the first image specified in the XML. That image was never imported into the Flash document. I have double checked my paths, too. All of the paths are correct. Also, I'm sure that it's not accessing a local file, because for each path, I specify the full URL, such as "[URL]", rather than just "/images/image.jpg". What do I need to do to fix this? You can see what I'm talking about by going to [URL] and clicking on "photo+art".
I am using the kirupa xml foto gallery and I am loading different sized images... if they would load nicely centered the problem is solved... (not to stage width/height..!!) The movieclip "picture" has to load the images centered from its own registration point so that it can be placed anywhere on the stage.... now its loads the images from aka left top...
i have an xml driven photogallery with thumbs and the slideshow starts automatically and is cross fading and it has a next/play/pause/for buttons. Everything is fine but i don't like the way the thumbs scroller operates, it's way to mechanical and i would love to add an easing effect to it. How do i do that? this is the code of the whole gallery:
I have spent some time looking at the Kirupa XML gallery with the thumb navigaition sliderOne problem emerge when i use different sized images (same height, different widths).If one thumbnail is half the width of the others, that thumbnail will be placed directly on top of one of the others. Furthermore if the "large" image also is half the width of the others (which it also is here) it'll get placed starting from the left and have a gray background where there is no image (which makes sense since the background is grey in the .fla).My question is: how i can get the gallery to display all thumbnails with the same spacing between them no matter what width they have (in my case they will all have same height). And if a thumbnail is not as large as the "default size"(for example 67 in height and 100 in width) is it possible to center that image in the "large image" display?
I am trying to modify the Kirupa image gallery to use numbers in place of thumbnails.So far I have been able to place buttons on the stage using attachMovie()and I have been successful in getting them numbered properly. Where I am failing is in getting the individually placed buttons to load an image.A more detailed list of what I am trying to do:
I want to attach a button that has a text box to the stage.In that button�s text box I want a sequential number to appear.When a button is pressed I want the corresponding image to display(button 1 loads image 1).I have the first two working; not doing so well with the last.Here is what I have:
I want to incorporate a Horizontal thumbnail Scrolling Gallery to showcase the Special Menus of the concerned hotel. and on click of each image there should be a small popup to display other information of the menu. All this should be XML driven.
I have this thumbnail gallery that loads from an a simple XML. When a tumbnail is clicked its larger image loads into an UiLoader....
What i am trying 2 do is 2 show the larger image using a lightbox when a tumbnail is clicked (removing the ui loader for good). I have a lightbox that works with flash (when testing movie as well).
I have been trying for a couple days now 2 combine all this but it never works
I have a dynamic thumbnail gallery that laods thumbnails from db/xml and also each thumbnails associated main image. When the user rolls over the thumbnail the larger image displays to the right.
THis is all working fine however I need to update the script to change the thumbnail gallery layout from a 3 column 2 row gallery to a 4column 4 row gallery.I've adjusted the as and resized the thumbnails to allow for this and setup a 8px spacer between thumbs
I am trying to build a gallery where the thumbnail loads and then you hit the thumbnail and it opens the image full size. I don't want to have it resize.
