I've got an xml slideshow playing on my home page and I need to have the pictures randomized. You can see the flash in action at [URL]. Here is the code that I am using now.
delay = 10000;
// function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];

I have an xml flash slide show that works great but i would really like it to randomly select the images out of the xml so that every time it is seen it is showing a different cycle of images. I'm not by any means an ActionScript expert far from it actually, but i understand a bit of it (not enough to write my own code yet).here is the code im using:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
[code]....
Also I'm not using the text version of this were it gives a title of the image that is displayed but every time i think i have removed it correctly i screw the the whole thing up. right now i just have the title area in my xml blank which works but i guess its not the cleanest code right.
I currently am working off of a flash template. In the header of the flash template are a few pictures that show up like a slidshow. I was wondering how I add more pictures for the slideshow.
View 13 RepliesHow to do a simple slide shows that plays automatically and has transitions in between pictures, can some one direct me in the right direction. So far I have 1 picture that does a transition and it has this action code inside the same frame where the picture is placed at. The pictures were converted into movie clip symbols.
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
TransitionManager.start(img1_mc, {
type:Zoom, direction:0, duration:3, easing: Bounce.easeOut});
I only have 1 layer. It works fine, but when I try to put two pictures and test the movie, it does not play automatically, why is this?
I want to create a slide show by making a loop that loads images one by one, pauses at each photo before removing it, and then adds the next one. However, the code (shown below) seems to race to the very last picture without pausing.
for(var i = 1; i < 5; i++){ //pics 1-4
var pic_name:String = "pic" + i + ".jpg";
trace("Loop "+i+" "+pic_name); //traces pic1.jpg,...pic4.jpg
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

I would like some assistance. I created an xml slideshow which works fine when viewed in a browser, but when I view it in Flash Player, it skips some of the pictures, leaving a white screen instead. Is there a way of overcoming this?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on an expo, and I want to make an installment with a screen displaying a slideshow of some 5000 (fairly lo-res) pictures from a photo booth, and one of these scroll wheels beneath to have the user/viewer being able to scroll through it. When no-one is scrolling, the slide show is looping through as normal.I'm under the impression that it's a quite memory consuming task to load in pictures and displaying them for Flash, so therefore I wonder if this is even possible to do in for instance a Flash projector without consuming too much memory and getting massive stuttering and lag?

I've spend two days searching this forum, to find an example on how to makea XML image gallery "like the kirupa one" but with an adittional feature...with no success.I'm looking for a gallery setup that offers you an option to inlcude extra photos' per image..For example:image one can contain 1-5 extra pictures, which can be seen either viadynamicly attached numbers 12345above the picture or even bettera "play/pause project" button which will show the extra pictures of that same project...a kind of slideshow within a slidehow..with captions/fades ...the whole deal.
View 5 RepliesThe end result is going to be a "photo-stack" with each image layered on top of one another, all cycling through the list of images. So container 1 would start of showing image 1, then image 2, and so on. Container 2 would start with image 2, then 3, and so on. One the container gets to it's final image, it loops back to the first image. I've duplicated all the necessary functions and duplicated all required variables with different names so there shouldn't be any overlap, however when I run my SWF, only one of the galleries loads. If I try and load the galleries as external SWF's, only one gallery appears.
Here is my actionscript code:
Code:
var id, current;
var k = 0, p = 0;
var slide = 1;

task:already have the component - slide show.need to make the next effect for changing pictures :

Having an online swf doing some slideshow with loaded pictures from an xml filme, how can I, after building the slideshow with some transitions, export the result movie into a flv/mov/* file?know how you can get pictures from a xml file into flash and then proceed to build the slideshow (showing, of course, the swf in the page).What I need is a somewhat hidden swf that would process this pictures and then export the movie into a folder.Example:
-> user uploads pictures
-> user click preview movie
-> pictures are loaded into the flash file
-> movie is built
-> final file is saved into some folder
-> user is warned about the movie being done and read to download
I'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
View 1 Replies[URL] Take a look at that website. See whe you rollover one of the pictures, the other pictures fade out...Well how can I do that? I've tried some swapDepths techniques but it gets a bit confusing.
View 2 RepliesI used the tutorial for making a xml gallery and changed it up a bit to make a banner ad gallery from an xml file. This makes life easier for my non flash designers to just update the xml file when new ads come out. I would now like to make it randomly select the first image.The only idea I had was to change the p = 0; part to p = Math.floor(Math.random() * total); That didn't work.There is some additional code in there for a coldfusion click tracker and some to build the url string for the coldfusion page
// Load XML, define arrays, and initiate loading of first image
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

Basically, it loads and parses an external XML file. I have it set to just step through the file but I'd like it to randomly display the images referenced by the XML. The script works like this, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the XMl into an array and then have the function read it correctly. It seems to me that the call:
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
with p being changed somehow to a call to myArray should work, but it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?
this creates the load XML function and counts the children to an array
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {[code]....
so the XML needs to loaded into the array somehow. Here's the array with a bunch of numbers instead of the XML info.
myArray=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15];
myArray.Shuffle();
I have created a pie preloader(preloader.zip) which is working fine. Same preloader I am trying to incorporate in a xml based slideshow(slideshow.zip) to show image loading process but some how I got stuck. I am new to flash. Suggestions are welcome.
1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.
i have a question about text in a slideshow. i know how to make a basic photo slideshow with external images. but now what i want to do is add 4-5 paragraphs of text next to each photo (with possible scrolling). the text will be different on each photo.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a simple image scroller in a way that it creates 2 arrays from 2 xml attributes. I got that working, but what I want to do next is randomize the order of the images and while making sure it they retain their specific urls. Then I want the scroller to loop those images in that random order infintely.
So far here is ActionScript Code:
stop();
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
// change the values to alter the spacing and scroll speed
scrollSpeed = 1;
picSpacing = 0;
picWidth = 116;

I have 7 movieclips that form a line down the stage like so:
Movieclip 1
Movieclip 2
Movieclip 3
I need it so that when a button is pressed is randomizes the order in which they are shown for example it could be:
Movieclip 2
Movieclip 3
Movieclip 1
So I figured that the last idea I had would not work, but I realized that if I attached each seperate background image from an array to a css element that, that would indeed work.
