[URL]Basically, I would like to have an xml gallery, grid alignment... and to be able to use an actual scrollbar to look through the thumbnails.I tried to do this at home but got weird results, IE when scrolling down the thumbnails would actually scroll up etc.
View 6 RepliesNow, I've seen Scotty's image resizing gallery thread and love the gallery with scrolling thumbnails. Unfortunately, on my site, I have a lot of wide images that can not be shrunk down without losing valuable details. So my question is, is there ANY way to make an XML image gallery that will apply a scrollbar to an image if it exceeds a certain width?? My images are wider then the website so I will need to apply a scrollbar or scroll pane no matter what but it would be ideal to have it done where I can load the images via XML
View 1 RepliesAlright, I know how to make a scrollbar but how do I tell "him" to scroll on his own?m using this code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;

I bet you can't solve this one! I am using AS2 to make a full screen gallery like this: [URL].. and I'm having some problems:
1) MOST IMPORTANT: When the gallery is loaded in a smaller browser window, then the browser window is maximized, the scroll bar doesn't work properly when clicked. The scroller moves, but not to the position at which the user clicks.
2) LESS IMPORTANT: When the user mouses over the scroller and scroll bar, I would like their alpha/colour to change (preferably fade in and fade out).
3) LEAST IMPORTANT: Is it possible to use a graphic for the scroller?

i followed a tutorial on line that showed me how to create a scrollbar gallery with the use of only action script and xml, i also looked at another tutorial that allowed me to be able to use thumb nails to change the images been displayed. now i'm trying to modify the former tutorial gallery i made to include this function by using my already set images as the thumbnail and when this images are clicked i go to the next page or frame and display the corresponding image. i have been able to get the images clickable but i can't seem to get the image to be displayed. here is my code and my xml file here. even if its an idea i wouldn't mind. been at it for 2weeks now and i can't seem to find a solution.
PHP Code:
stop();import mx.transitions.Tween;import mx.transitions.easing.*;//maincodevar myGalleryXML = new XML();myGalleryXML.ignoreWhite true;myGalleryXML.load("test/gallery.xml");m

I have made an XML Gallery in Flash but there is a problem, it works very well however some of the photos are portrait and this causes a problem as gaps are created between photos.Here's the code:

how to make image gallery with thumbs and horizontal scrollbar. if images are more that three scrollbar is shown otherwise it will hide.
View 2 RepliesI�m trying to get my horizontal scrollbar gallery images to link to different url�s, but having some trouble getting more than one url to open, they all link to the same site.

I'm creating a scrollbar gallery from a tutorial on this site. Though I've completed the tutorial, and customised the gallery to my own needs, however I'm trying to make a very small change to it - and no matter what I do, keep running into problems. I'm trying to replace the rectangular handle with my own customised handle - a (20 x 20) 'circular' png image that I've imported into Flash, made a graphic and stored in the library (though I understand it can be imported using actionscript, like the other images in the gallery).

how I would convert this vertical scrollbar into a horizontal scrollbar
heres the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_y = bound_box._height-scroller._height;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);
top = bounds.yMin+(scroller._height/2);
bottom = bounds.yMax-(scroller._height/2);

I am trying to get the stage width of the FLA in as3. Obviously, stage.stageWidth works well, the only issue is that when viewing the the SWF in an HTML page when you are zoomed in or out it gives you the relative width of your current view. For example, my stage width is 800x600 and when I trace out the stage.stageWidth it is showing up as 800 as long as I am viewing in my browser at 100 percecent, but once I zoom out in my browser the stageWidth gets traced out as a smaller number. Does anyone know how I can dynamically get the stageWidth of the FLA and have it not change regardless of how you are viewing the HTML page
View 1 RepliesI am trying to retrieve my SWF's referring document filename. For example, if index.html is calling mymovie.swf, I want to return index.html. I know this can be done through a combination of scripting and flashVars, but I would like to avoid that for security purposes. The flashVars variables can be seen by anyone who knows how to view source. Is there a way to accomplish this solely in Actionscript? or Flex?
View 10 RepliesI have converted my MPEG video recorded from my camcorder to FLV to use on "Flash CS4" using "Adobe Media Converter". But the FLV playback on the "Flash player 10" is alot smaller than the playback of the MPEG video on "VLC". Is there anyway to adjust any properties to get the FLV to the actual size of the MPEG video?
View 1 RepliesI've been messing around with hittest and I can't figure out how to detect when the actual content of the MC collides with the other's, rather than just detecting when the bounding boxes collide.
View 3 Repliesincrease the actual workspace. Not the size of my stage but the actual box that is around the stage. Mines a light gray. Its just I have stuff the needs to be way way off screen and there seems to be a limit on how far the project extends.
View 2 RepliesI like to know is "where, exactly, are you drawing that glyph?" The TextField class provides the methods getBounds and getCharBoundaries, but these methods return rectangles that extend far beyond the actual bounds of the whole text object or the individual character, respectively.
var b:Sprite = new Sprite();
b.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF0000);
var r:Rectangle = text.getCharBoundaries(4);

Is there any way to get more precise information about the actual visual bounds of text glyphs in ActionScript?
I'd like to get the actual height of a component after adding some children.
When inspecting the variables tab in debug mode, I see 2 different height variables:$height (which contains the correct value: 138) and height/_height (which contains a wrong value: 10).
I guess that the display is not updated and so I'm not getting the correct height using component.height, but how can I get the value in $height?

how you can pause an actionscript code? I've found posts which explain how to pause animations, but none on how to pause actual actionscript commands .A quick example would be to make a box increase in size (which was done through AS). But when it gets to 100 pixels wide, i want it to pause for 3 seconds before continuing again.

View 6 RepliesI've decided to take the jump to AS3 now but im having a lot of issues... Im trying to load an external swf into a movieclip.
In AS2 it would be:
PHP Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
mcLoader.addListener(myListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("mainLoader.swf","externalLoader_mc");
[Code].....
How can i load the URLRequest into an actual movieclip as i have done in AS2? As far as i know the load function only accepts one variable. ATM the external swf im loading is just going into thin air and i can't get anything to happen (i have the functions created to deal with the events btw).
Edit: Just fixed it by adding externalLoader_mc.addChild(myLoader);
I don't really use Flash, but was just trying to put up a little video demo online.
Just dragged the video onto the canvas, published it as an .swf, but when I upload it all and visit the web page, the video clip / swf isn't displaying.
Its fine in the preview though.

How does one actually go about writing a file out to a directory from inside a class or is there an actual class that handles that like in other languages?
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to implement a dragging system which can only be described as similar to dragging the map on Google Maps. I can set up dragging easily in Flex, but unfortunately the standard model of dragging i.e. dragging an element proxy and dropping it in another element is not what I'm after.
Is there anything built into flex where the actual element rather than a proxy can be repositioned in a different place within the same parent? Or will I have to hand code something using mouse events as you would if implementing a solution in JavaScript?

View 1 RepliesAs I can read it from this article the maximum square bitmap Flash can handle is 4,095 x 4,095 (which results in 16,769,025 pixels and bla-bla-bla). So, they say if I try to go to 4,096 x 4,096, I'll fail. But I have tried to load and display a bitmap image sized 4,096 x 4,096, and it worked well. Then, I even tried an image sized 5000 x 5000, and that was alright too. What do I not understand? What are the actual limits and how to calculate them?
View 2 RepliesI get this out put (each row is a different element) and I don't know how to convert it in to a readable value.
it should be number with 9-10 digits. from what I have seen in other sites regarding this specific data (this is the value of the tempo in a midi file) - it looks something like this: "tempo is 06 96 27 (in hexa format)"
these values are ByteArray type. how do I convert them to the readable numbers (or perhaps they contain text)?
The thing is that I have an ActionScript 3.0 application, and wanted to include a little one-line size textbox which showed all the trace() calls and such, which are shown in the console.
Of course not everything is lost, as I could just do my own class that showed there the messages, but it would be cleanier, and quicker not to have to replace all the trace() calls for my new class and method.
what is the actual height of a container in Flex without scrollbars? Height and measuredheight seem to tell me what the visual height of a container is, but I want to know that number plus any height that is being 'hidden" below a scrollbar.
