Load Image Gallery (separate Swf) On Top Of Darkened Webpage
Nov 11, 2009
I've seen this done on many sites (it even happens on here when attaching links), where the screen darkens and an image gallery or form loads.
My question is, can this be done through Flash, but more importantly how to load a swf file this way. I noticed that the new Nike Running site has done it for their login functionality, where it loads the login box on a darkend screen, not sure whether the actual login is Flash but it's opened from within Flash.

I am attempting to create a basic Flash website to promote myself online. To do this I require a scrolling gallery of images on one of my pages.I have found and implemented a tutorial online allowing me to have a scrolling gallery, but what I need to do is include it within the rest of the pages I have created. I don't know how the code I have used for the scrolling gallery works, to allow me to use it, inside the root level page.The script says:
_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{ if (_root._yMouse<594)
{[code]....
What I need to do, is put the scrolling gallery feature 1 level INSIDE the site, instead of on its "root". When saving the scrolling gallery feature as a movie clip, I coped the frame it was on and pasted that on the "images" page, within the navigation bar movie clip where the other page contents reside. ie Contact, Animations, Intro, etc.When doing this, the gallery is present on the page once the "images" tab is clicked on the navigation, but only the scrolling thumbnails are present on screen, and not the blown-up main image each of the thumbnails refers to, so when clicked on, no main image appears.But when placed on the "root" or outer-most layer of the site, the gallery works fine.I really need to know how to include this scrolling gallery feature WITHIN the navigation bar with the other pages, how can I do this? What actionscript could I use as a replacement to the "_root", to make the gallery function correctly?

I'm building a gallery on a website with lots of different size images. I've got all my buttons set out in one swf and placed on the page and I want to put a seperate swf on the page to display the images. The only problem is I can't work out the script to put on the button to open the image in the 2nd swf.

I would like to be able to add the functionality of being able to load different galleries from a menu without loading a new mc with gallery inside it. I managed to botch the file up pretty good on my own, and was wondering if there is a ready answer nearby.So I'm thinking have but1, but2 and but3, with a seperate xml file for each. What would you recommend for a smooth way to swap the the xml files to the gallery, and load the first image of the new xml file? Also, can it be done with one big ol' xml file while keeping the galleries seperate? It's not necessary, but could be handy, and save some loading.It would also be interesting to apply the same principle to the resizing script that Scotty has in that big Resizing thread, just a thought.

I've done a search and found out about LocalConnections but I don't seem to be able to apply them to my issue.
I have two separate SWF files that appear on the same web page. Both are simple animations and all I want is when the first has finished playing for the second to start, and them when that has completed restart the first one again (and so on...).
I'm also guessing that in order for this to work I'll need some code in the first SWF to detect that the second has finished loading otherwise nothing will happen when the first SWF reaches the end.

I have done a photo gallery using the following code. However, I need the first picture to appear as the movieclip is loaded. What shall I introduce to this script? Or what would I have to change?
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
//portfolioTag = this.firstChild;

I am building a website with an image gallery using XML to load thumbnails and images.
Firstly, I was going to try to make the thumbnails act like buttons, so the mouse cursor would change to a little pointing finger like it does in buttonmode but i could not get this to work.
Secondly, I also wanted the alpha properties of the other buttons to reduce to about 0.75 to highlight the selected thumnail that would stay at its full alpha value of 1. Yet again i could not get this to work either.Can you build this type of functionality into the imported xml data or am I just kidding myself here?

I'm using the following code to load external swfs over each other.
At the moment the time between each image is the same - 10 seconds. I'm trying to work out how to change the time so the first image loads, waits for 5 seconds, loads the second which waits 10 seconds before loading the third swf.[code]...

I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button. I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button.

I'm not sure how to load it from a flash file and I know there is work that has to be done outside of flash like in the root folder. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button. how to use shadowbox in lamens terms or knows how to easily script a gallery that would be amazing.

I'm developing an app that needs to dynamically load in .png files as thumbnails for an image gallery. I have studied up on the bitmapData.hitTest() method for being able to setup an alpha test in order work around the .png bounding box issue, but have a problem.
I get an as3 error 2005, which OK I can understand in some cases, but it is pointing to a parameter that makes no sense at all. Here's the error:
ArgumentError: Error #2005: Parameter 0 is of the incorrect type. Should be type BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData/hitTest()

I know Flash developers have done Kiosks and renovated arcade games. "Come on, we see Flash everywhere."Can I prepare my swf files like an image gallery and receive XML commands to load it? Where do I start? Flash/After Effects skills have got me through so far,
Criteria
TCP/IP socket connection
Flash package
XML commands load swf file in to a container
How do I prepare my Flash files and XML sheet to receive commands "any sample out there"?What about e.data,urlLoad ,xmlSocket Class, XMLCP/IP XML socket connection to load ?Is binary or XML method better for loading and reloading swf files?Do I need Red5 or a media server?

Basically what I've got is a XML loaded gallery as a background for a web page. Now the problem I can't seem to work out is, I want to be able to define which pictures in the gallery show up in different sections of the website. For example -
homepage - images 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3.jpg are accessible.
About Us - images 4.jpg, 5.jpg and 6.jpg are accessible.
and so on.
Similar to what happens on [URL] but without the gallery popping up. It's relay bugging me now.

I have an xml gallery sort of that works fine when I have the code not as a class, in first frame in Flash. So I decided I wanted to port it into a class and the problem I get is at:
thumb = new Thumbnail(xmlList[i].image);
It expects 0 arguments. How come that line of code works in first frame in flash but not as a class? There is a movieclip in the library called thumb with linkage of Thumbnail.
Below if the code when used in first frame:
PHP Code:
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pics.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);

I've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.

have a question about loading new photos into a already populated image gallery.So I have my gallery set up so first loads my stage pics. What I would now like to do is load different set of images via the click of a button.So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and the user can click on them to view the full size image. next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones.

I'm now writing a simple socket application for my own learning purposes. It will be a really simple BlackJack application.I was thinking for ways to manage 52 different cards in my app. I could make those 52 cards, as 52 images and then, maybe load them into movieclips at runtime. Or, I could take one big image with all of the cards on it, and create a masked movieclip, and then, shift and slide the image's position, so that the correct graphic of the card shows.y question is: which way is faster? Will flash be better with handling 52 small images, lets say 20x40 (in reality, i will only load like 6 of them in the display list, since black jack almost never deals with huge amount of cards). Or would it be faster, if I had a big image with all the cards (~160x160 maybe) and just reused that with different masking, calculated on runtime?

I've recently uploaded my source files to my host and everything is running fine...except for one of my SWF files and I dont know whats wrong. It works when I run it on dreamweavers preview yet since I've uploaded it, it doesn't work. The file paths correct, the files are in the right folder yet still nothing. The address is doneanddone.co.nz . I already have a SWF that plays sound and that works but the video above the done and done text does not.

I am a bit of a beginner to Flash and found a template online to use for my website. One issue I am having is that an image with a link is opening in the main window and I want it to open in a separate window. I am going to attach the code as it is now. Can someone tell me what I need to add or change to make the url link open in a separate window?
onClipEvent (load) {
imageProperties=_root.getCurrentImageName(0);
loadMovie(_root.url+imageProperties['name'], this.cont.pic);
loadMovie(_root.url+imageProperties['name'], this.cont.pic1);
url=imageProperties['linkToOpen'];
targetWindow = imageProperties['target'];
}
