I have done a simple code for a slideshow that dynamicly loads images from a subfolder, depending on what is listet in a text file.
the code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

I've been charged with the crusade of making a prettydifficult (to me) slideshow. This is what the client wants:1. externally loaded images2. externally loaded text (comments for each image)3. the timeline of the slideshow to be dictated by the numberof externally loaded images.Now, ive made tons of slideshows with 1. and 2. before, butthe request for 3. totally screws me up. I usually have a setamount of images that will be used, and accordingly, set up thetimeline using empty movie clips that use the loadMovie command todynamically grab images from a specified folder. They fade tweenover each other and everyone is happy. However, if I were to make amovie with item 3's parameters, I can't define a predeterminedtimeline. Im sure this can be done with actionscript but I am 100%c
View 1 RepliesI made a movie with 3 slide shows on Level_0. Those slideshows are .swf files that are loaded into blank movie clips on the stage. Each .swf that is loaded into the file is a dynamically loaded .jpg slide show. Everything is working great, except that I want the 3 slide shows to pause when the user presses a button.

in (swfA.fla) I have this code in frame1
var module1:Loader = new Loader();
var admin = new MovieClip();
addChild(admin);
[Code]....
(my thought here is that 'admin' contains swfB.swf?) - this would seem very simple... but it...
...does not work and gives me this [seriously unhelpful] error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

I'm trying to get a dynamically loaded swf to load into an empty mc behind a particular mc on the stage. I used actionscript to create an empty movie clip using the createEmptyMovieClip command. But, how can i get it to create it, then load the external .swf into it behind a exsisting mc on the stage?
View 1 RepliesI have made a presentation with voice over, in which the images and audio files are loaded externelly from the folder where the swf was placed. the voice over files are in MP3 format, loaded with the script follows
mysound = new Sound();
mysound.loadSound("voice1.mp3");
mysound.start(0,0);
It works well in IE but not in Firefox.

View 11 Replieshow you properly organize dynamically loaded thumbnails from an xml file, into a grid.What I'd like is for the number of columns and rows to be set in the xml file also, and for the flash file to auotmatically fill out the rows / columns based on how many thumbs are in the xml file.
I've found examples of this type of thing in both as3 and as2, but I can't seem to get my as2 version working properly... how to create a thumbnail grid in as2...I don't really want the thumbs to link to a bigger version fo the image...
I am trying to preload an mp3 file dynamically while showing the typical 'percentage loaded' in a dynamic text box. However for some reason, the percentage just doesn't count up - it freezes on 100% even though the mp3 file is still loading. I have included the code that I'm using below. Also, does anyone know what would be the best way to adjust this code so that I could preload multiple mp3 files at the same time or one after another?

now a customer wants me to make a Flash intro in her (ASP MVC) site. The scenario is this: images are stored in the dbms. Every image belongs to a category. Depending on what category is selected, the corresponding images should be fetched and played in a flash player with "transition" effects (hope i used the correct words).How can a slideshow (swf) be created dynamically?

I wanted to create a slideshow in Flash MX 2004 using the instructions given in the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash tutorial on this site but I wondered if someone could tell me if I would be making the right decision using this technique considering the following: My slideshow will be used for a menswear clothing company, so the images will need to be on the left and then on the right would be all the information relating to that image/item of clothing - no problem so far but...
I've already set up a slideshow the "long way" with 20 or so images as well as their related information on different frames - the images are on one layer and the descriptions are on a separate layer also. I've got a couple of buttons controlling the navigation back and forth between the frames and I've also got a preloader on frame one to load everything beforehand. The problem is that I'm worried about people on slow connections, that they'll have to wait an unreasonable amount of time before all the images are downloaded, so I thought that using the dynamic method outlined on this website would be useful and save downloading time, but I wondered if it was possible to keep all the information relating to the images on separate frames and just have the images import dynamically? The reason for this is that the information to the right of the images is quite long with information given about style numbers, sizes, descriptions and even colour square graphics are inserted to display available colours etc, so I'm thinking that it's probably not practical to dynamically load this information but to keep them on their separate frames as I have them at present, and also all this information is on top of a simple graphic interface on which I'd like to keep the info vertically centred. So is there a way to have the images load dynamically, and if so how would I get them to load correctly onto the right frames that match their relevant information? Can someone tell me if it's possible to use the information in the abovementioned tutorial to do what I want? Or can you tell me if I'm choosing the right method - I mean considering all the information including colour squares that will appear to the right of the images, do you think it's impractical to choose the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash method? Also I'm not even sure if loading the images dynamically will improve things - I mean the images still have to be downloaded right - will loading them dynamically just mean that they'll load one at a time as the user navigates through the slideshow and if so won't this cause delays for the user in that they'll have to wait for each image to download before they can proceed forward to the next item?
I have a class file that displays a slideshow and preloads each image in an xml file. the code is below. What I want to know is, is there any way to improve this code?

i have a slideshow made out on an swf file and i want to import into my big fla file so when i click on my gallery button the gallery page opens and the slideshow.swf appears. I can get the gallery page to open no problem but how do i import the swf to this page so it appears and is ready when i click on the gallery page?
View 1 RepliesA client is asking for a slideshow to embed into a web page. The slideshow will have a thumbnail bar with arrows on either side to switch to the next or previous batch of thumbnails.This slideshow needs to be linked to an external file that will contain pictures submitted by visitors to the site. The pictures will automatically generate thumbnails that will call a large version of the image when clicked on.My current knowledge about flash and AS3 coding does not enable me to do this. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not possible at all. It sounds like something that needs to be handled by a content management system.

I know how to load in .jpg and .swf files via XML, but the issue in which I want to cover is to have the two alternate. See what I'm going is I'm going to have a quote show up (animated in SWF) then once that finishes, it fades into a JPG. That will in turn fade back to another SWF and then the cycle continues. These will be loaded randomly, but I would like it if I were able to keep it in that order of random swf, then random image, then random SWF and back again.

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.

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.
