Simple Slideshow - Placing Photos In Frames
Dec 27, 2009
I am very new to flash CS4. I am preparing to develop a simple photo slideshow, set to music (3 minute song), with three buttons containing pull down menus which will link to pdf files. This is a project I have taken on to develop an informational CD for the High School I work at.
Here is my question:
When building a photo slidshow with 35-40 photos what is the best practice? Is it to place them all on one layer, or each on its own layer? Also I did see the set interval method from tutvid placing the photos in frames next to each other.

I keep battling the slideshow, and now I have some other doubts. I tried to find the answer to this on other threads on this forum, but couldnïż½t find anything. So, here it goes:I now have a photo slideshow where one photo fades out, and the next one follows, fading in.Between the fade out and fade in, there is a short interval of white, the background of the flash animation. I have to replace this white interval, with the fadeout of the previous image, so that the first and the next image sort of merge. How can I do this?lso, on the very last image of the presentation, there is a jump back to the first image, without the fadeout. How can the loop be made so that the last image fades out too, and not simply disappear?Here is the code Im using right now:
PHP Code:
delay = 3000; //-----------------------function loadXML(loaded) (loaded) xmlNode = this.firstChild; image = [];

I am building a simple photo slideshow and I need to create a way for the client to remove and add photos to it (w/o opening and editing the .fla). Can this be done with XML? Where I use a small line of script to call a series of photos according to the numbers appended to the photo file names.

The photographer at this site [URL] wants me to modify the slideshow on the home page. He wants to replace some of the old photos with new ones. Can I do this with Adobe Flash CS3? If so, please point me to tutorials that will get me up to speed. Or maybe it's too difficult for a Flash newbie?

I used the script below for a slideshow in Macromedia Flash MX2004. The images are in the folder images.xml (and believe me, I checked the names many times). But now the problem: when I load this slideshow, it shows only 3 photos, whereas there are 10 in my folder which I need to show. After the 4th photo I get only black.... it doesn't continue.
Here is the script:
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below
var randomNum = 0;
var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent container
var container_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);

I am designing a slideshow comprised of photos, video and some animations. I decided to use Flash because I thought it would offer me more flexibility than other options and because I have some experience coding in ActionScript 2.0 (though oddly very little experience designing swf's).
Here's the thing. In frame 1 I want a video to play. I can make that happen using this code, copied straight from the help:

I'd like to create a banner for my website using a slidshow but I'd like for the photo's that are displayed to be daylight images during the daytime and nightime images during the evening hours from the viewers perspective. These images will, of course, be outdoor pictures, but I cannot seem to figure out how to select the picture elements to display based on the users time shown on their computer.

many kudos for the xml photo slideshow. [URL]
How would someone go about getting the actionscript to look for another field in the xml file that had a Url link to a webpage for each image that would be activated by clicking on that particular image.

I have a slideshow and photogallery that I want to put on a CD and give out at tradeshows. The user can manually view the photos in each section or "play all". Right now all of the photos and text are listed in an XML file on a server. I don't want the info to be pulled from my server when someone plays the CD. Does the XML in the actionscript have to be a direct path [URL]? or can I store the XML files on my cd have have the info pulled from there?

I am using Flex Builder 2 to create classes, leaving my FLA file void of scripts. I wish to extend a MovieClip class so that my new class would dispatch a specific event everytime it reaches the last frame. I could do this using an ENTER_FRAME listener which would launch a function call to see if the current frame is actually the last one, but I don't wish to do that and drop lag down my users' throat. I would rather prefer adding manually "endSequence()" to all of the animation sequences using Flash... which I really don't want to be doing as it would make updating very bothersome. Is there a way to add a script to a frame programmatically so I don't have to use Flash to add bits of script to the last frame of each of my concerned MovieClips?

I have this little slideshow, it is for practise for my students. It always worked well in as 2.0, 5 slides, and two buttons: back and next.The script in2.0 has: prevFrame and nextFrame in the code and for the exceptions in frame 1, and frame 5 we made a new frame 1 in the actions layer, and coded the back button, gotoAndStop(5); and a new frame 5, and coded the next button: gotoAndStop(1); Works.
Now I put the thing over tot as 3.0: And I can not get it to work properly....the buttons work, but when I am on frame 5, and go back to 4, it will go no further than 4, evenso when I go back to frame 1 from 5, I can not go further up than frame 1.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, volgendFrame);//next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,[code].....

I'm doing the very simplest of slideshows which will later be exported to .swf and converted to a .scr.
The code I'm working off allowed the .swf to use a small bit of actionscipt to run through the bitmaps contained in the file. Looks like this:
with (_root.image.pics) {
gotoAndStop( Math.round( Math.random()* 20 ) );
}
Alas, what I don't know how to do is get these damn images to play IN ORDER. I'm sure it's simple, but my searches have turned up zilch. I've tried increments (++) and I'm too much a Newb to know how to use arrays (like how I would call the images in my folder within an array - way over my head.)Is there a simple way to get these images to get called in a range of some kind? Like "gotoAndStop(range 1-20)"?

I'm trying to build a simple slideshow with AS3 consisting of one movie clip which should be controlled backwards and forwards using simple buttons. I can get the slideshow to play forward once but, apart from getting slide 2 to go back to slide 1, I can't get it to work with the remaining slides.

-show random pictures (well they will only be text)
-can change slide by clicking on screen.

It's caused by memory leak. Every time a slide is shown, the memory usage increases a few hundred kB. I've tried everything I could come up with, but even if I kick a whole lot of movieclips out, disable basically all AS3 and let only one slide loop, the memory usage still increases everytime the slide is shown again.Of course it helped to make the movieclips simpler, but the main problem remains: if you keep running the slideshow, it will slow down.
edit 1: #&^%@! Even when i copy one of the slides to a completely new file, with no external classes whatsoever, the problem remains. I think I know now what goes wrong:I make the movieclip loop by saying this.gotoAndPlay(1);Frame 1 is empty, the slide placed on frame 2. If I'd put the slide on frame 1, the mc wouldn't begin at the start and there is no animation (and no memory increase) because the mc has ended.I already figured that maybe every time the mc is shown again, Flash casts a new instance. To prevent that, everytime a slide ends, I remove it with removeChild(clip). That has no effect however, so I think that's unnecessary.
edit 2: even when the MCs are constantly on the stage and are restarted with clip.gotoAndPlay(1), the memory usage keeps growing.

I'm trying to create a simple fading RSS reader. I'm using PHP to create an XML document. Then I'm calling the XML into Flash using the following code.
ActionScript Code:
function postXML (loaded){
if (loaded){
postNode = this.firstChild;
newsID = [];
newsHeadline = [];
[Code] .....
I display this information in a movieclip that has several dynamic textfields. My problem is this. PHP calls the information in descending order. I want the most recent post to display first, that's why I do it that way. How can I reverse cycle through the nodes. There will be five. I'd like to use the id attribute as the reference to cycle through the nodes. I'd also like there to be a 15 second delay for each slide. I guess I'm basically creating a text slideshow. 15 seconds with an option to pause.

I have a simple slideshow composed of 4 images repeating themselves. Basically, the movie loads the first one, increases a numeric variable, and then unloads it with remove child, and loads another one corresponding to what the numeric variable is. When the 4th image is about to go away, it resets the variable back to 1 to signify the 1st image, then loads the 1st image and the process repeats. I've attached the .fla if my explaining skills are subpar.
The code for loading the photo depending on what the variable is below. (In a previous frame, "photoload" is set as a new Loader and the numeric variable "whichphoto" is set to 1.)
Code:
if (whichphoto == 1){
photoholder_mc.removeChildAt(0);
photoload.load(new URLRequest('homebg01.jpg'));
[Code]....
My question is when I have flash load the 1st image for the 2nd time, does it use up more bandwidth (as if it was loading the image for the first time)? Or is the image already saved in the viewers memory once all 4 images have been loaded for the first time?

I downloaded the trial of flash cs4 and have created a simnple flash.I am creating a simple slideshow, each of the slides should be clickable and redirect the browser.I created images then imported them and they were automatically converted to symbols.I combined the symbols using some motion tweens.I then created an actions layer and created clasic tween wher I want the user to be able to click.My problem is I cant get it working. I think I am not referencing the right objects.[code]I have tried setting the object reference to the motion tween instance name, the classic tween name on the actions layer and the symbol name none seem to work
