I am creating a thumbnail scroller and I have everything set to work. The last final issue I'm having is this:
The scroller displays 25 items.
8 at a time.
When you page left/page right it scrolls to the next(or previous) 8 thumbs in the list.
This is what we want to happen:
Once the final (25th) thumb is reached it starts over on the first thumb again and we are back at 1. So that it becomes an endless loop.[code]...
I have seen many tutorials on how to create xml-driven, thumbnail-based image galleries, but I am looking for one which can do a "Before and After" photo effect. I'm designing a realtor's website and want a "before and after" gallery to show work being done on some homes, before construction and after construction. So, basically, you have two photos, same size, overlaying each other, and use maybe an Alpha fade to "merge one photo into another"? Something which slowly fades one into another, not just something which does a complete Alpha fade out, then a complete Alpha fade in.

View 1 RepliesIs there any tutorial on flash AS3 scrolling thumb nail panel.
View 1 RepliesI made a vertical scrolling thumbnail panel but i have a problem i can't identify. From the index.swf i load gallery.swf inside a holder movie clip (which is in index.swf) and in gallery.swf is scrolling thumnail panel. Problem is that scrolling panel works just fine if you publish gallery.swf separately from index.swf, everything works smoothly like it should but if you publish index.swf then scrolling panel loaded inside it scroll's slowly with halts and not the way it should.
View 5 RepliesI am using a scrolling thumnail bar to load external swf with transitions, I got to work using an earlier thread, by including the _parent property, however it loads the same swf everytime. I am really stumped.

currMovie = "swf2";
holder.loadMovie(currMovie+".swf");
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

I am trying to use rhamejs slideshow (located here) and I would like to move the scroller to a certain position on the stage but I'm not sure how to do it. My stage is 900px wide with a nav bar along the bottom. All I want to do is move the scroller to the right of my nav buttons and left of another button that is in the far right corner. I would like to stay within that space which expands depending on your browser/screen size. The main stage is set up to resize based on browser/screen size and all the nav buttons are anchored. I basically need the left edge of the scroller to be 535px from the left edge of the stage at all timesI need the right edge of the scroller to be 185px from the right edge of the stage at all times. I have tried editing these lines but after the width of your window gets to a certain point, the thumbs stop scrolling or disapear completely:
Code:
if (nav == "nobuttons") {
scroller._x = 0;

I've created a scrolling thumbnail gallery that draws images from a blog feed. I would like for it to loop itself after all the thumbs have gone through so the first image of the 2nd loop is immediately after the last image of the 1st loop.

View 9 RepliesI am building a gallery which scroll the thumbs according to mouse position. It all works but I try to tell the scrolling to stop with the last thumb on each side, and there I am stuck. I attach the scroll function. The inner if statement is meant to stop the scrolling at a certain point (the 800 is just a number I try, I need to make it more flexible). It works when the mouse move to the right but does not work when it moves to the left.
View 3 RepliesI've found several good tutorials in AS2.0 on creating a scrolling thumbnail menu bar for adding to a photo gallery, but nothing in AS3.0. Anyone have a tutorial or code they'd like to share?
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a simple scrolling thumbnail class written in AS2. Does anyone know of any tutorials or code samples anywhere? I can't seem to locate one. I have written one but I have a problem. My thumbnails are 100px x 100px. When I have more than like 36 (can't remember the exact number), my mask (which masks a bit on the left and the right side of the horizontal thumbnail scroller) no longer works. I found out that there is a max pic size for flash so I'm assuming that I am exceeding that max pic size which causes the mask to not work when I breach that size.

Im trying to put together the "scrolling thumbnail" tutorial you have and I have copied it step by step, and dont know where i have gone wrong, when i go to publish it gives me a actionscript error and output like this;

Function scrollPanel() {

does anyone know where I can get a tut on making a scrolling thumbnail viewer from scratch? I tried to recreate the one in the tutorial here but for some reason I cannot get it to work. I need from scratch step by step (I learn better that way).
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to do is to move a string of thumbnails - thumbHolder_mc - incrementally (like every 386 pixels) left and right, controling it with arrow buttons. Code below works like a charm EXCEPT when I try to stop the tween motion on either end.
I tried everything - _visible = false, enabled = false, delete function, etc etc, nothing works. In the my script below, buttons get disabled, but never recover. Function never comes "back to life", which is what I thought it was supposed to do:
[Code].....
Intro:I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline: Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"][also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science.

How would you guys go about creating an horizontally scrolling panel of thumbnail images? I want a panel that scrolls for ever in both directions and it also needs to be controlled via two arrow buttons not a mouse over type scroller. I would also like to animate with Tweens in action script to get a nice smooth scroll.I know some as3 but I can't work out how to make the scroller repeatedly scroll in both directions.
View 7 RepliesI've recently followed a tutorial to make a scrolling thumbnail panel that goes up when you down and down when you go up. est. This has worked perfectly will the script below...However Im looking to make an alteration to this so that when you are not on "stoke" the "panel" stops moving. Its currently set to not move until you role over on to it originally, however after that when you are not on the panel it continues to move when you stroll across the rest of the page miles away from the panel.

I'm trying to make a scrolling slideshow. They are real estate listings read from an XML file which consist of a thumbnail and 3 text fields (Title, address, price). Right now I have it working to the point where all of the data loads into a row of MCs that scroll to the left using the Tweener class.
I just can't achieve a wrap around effect. Here's a link to the swf as it is now: [URL] Knowing that duplicating MCs is a difficult task, I just half-assed it by loading the dame data into a new array of MCs (arrayBox and arrayBox2). The code below does not actually make use of the "duplicated" listing MCs. I thought I could just move a listing MC over to the right after when totally offstage but that does not seem to be working. Here's the offending AS3 source:

I am trying to build a slideshow with scrolling thumbnails and mouse control. I am fallowing a you tube tutorial. [URL] I have done everything that he says to do and I can not get it to scroll. He builds this in AS2 and I have changed my publish settings to AS2. The thing that confuses me is that he is able to get it to scroll before he puts the code in.
