View 8 RepliesI am using the Casousel3 tutorial and getting some cool effects but would like to make some mods - but don't really have the knowledge it seems to do them. I have tried but only succeeded in creating a rather nice white screen. I would like to be able to bring in the images via xml at 75% their original size so that when i click them I can enlarge them too 100% (part where the text comes in - have sorted the enlarging) and not get any pixelisation appearing. I would also like to be able to preload the images as they are loading (with that swirl loading graphic if possible !?)
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how I can resize this carousel as in the canvas size and the images. The other thing is, what do I need to do to be able to add new images to the folder so they appear in the carousel? At the moment when I do this they don't appear.[code]

View 0 RepliesI made a carousel as "Creating 3D Carousels: Part 2" but with different images(11 images, 178x175 pixels). I integrate it in aspx page. When I run the page local(on my computer), the carousel it's working but when I run the page on the server isn't working, it displays only the flash background without images. I think it's happens something when the flash tries to load the images, maybe it don't have to much time to load its. I tried to put ,in first frame, a line code, to load the xml file and after 200 frames the rest of code, but nothing(I tried that because I thought the flash doesn't time to load the xml file).
View 1 RepliesI am using the carousel as a navigation bar for a website, but instead of opening a window inside of the carousel, I want it to just load a new page for each individual image. I know that this requires putting the links into the XML file which I have done, but I'm struggling with the actionscript
View 5 RepliesI have a Flash carousel on my website, and I wanted to change one of the images, and delete another icon altogether. I have uploaded the revised XML file, published the new .swf (just in case), and uploaded to my Joomla site.For some strange reason, its still showing the old icons in Firefox (even though I've deleted these images from the referenced folder), and its showing the new icons in IE, only without the one image I added. Very strange.I've refreshed, created a new .swf, made sure I've saved the XML file etc but no changeThis is probably one of those amateur mistakes I think, I've thought of everything but drawing a blank at the moment.Oh i should probably mentioned that the revised carousel has 4 icons, and the old one has 5. The new image I put in has an icon of a jigsaw.XML File is as follows
<icons>
<icon image="icon3.jpg" tooltip="Ramis Software" link="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=67"/>

View 1 RepliesI was wondering if it's possible to include an swf within a javascript carousel that currently just contains stagic images. What I'm looking to do is include a flash animation within the carousel. I guess I've got two main questions: Is it possible to cycle through flash files in the same way as an image? How would I get the javascript and flash to interact so the flash file would know when it had been selected?

I want a prev / next buttons that brings the one of the carousel images to the center of the stage. Then when clicked again, it moves to the next one. I know that I have to have a code in my button release that checks the focus of the icon and brings it to the center if clicked. I have my buttons in place and everything is working great except calling the next icon over.

how can I make a carousel effect similar to this website? Is there an easy program to assist? Is it flash?
View 1 RepliesI'm using a carousel script that rotates some images, the speed of the rotation depends on where the mouse is on the screen. The project I put it into is 962 pixels wide, the carousel itself is about 400 pixels wide, I want it positioned on the right half of the project, so I put the code in a blank movie clip and positioned it on the right.
It works fine, but the problem is the rotation gets crazy fast as the mouse moves to the left side of the stage, because there's so much more space on the left then there is on the right. I only want for it to stop gaining speed when the mouse leaves the carousel area.
Code:
//We use 70x70 sized images (change this if different for your images)
const IMAGE_WIDTH:uint = 70;
const IMAGE_HEIGHT:uint = 70;

I'm trying to make a custom version of the carousel. I would like it to be vertical instead of horisontal and I got that working. But I would also like it only to be half a circle with a radius bigger than the stage so the icons disappear in the top and bottom of the stage. When an icon goes offscreen in the bottom of the stage the icon must reappear in the top of the stage and vise versa.
View 1 RepliesI trying to make a modification to Lee Brimelow's "Click and Zoom 3D Carousel". What I want to do is make it rotate about every three seconds to the next image (without any mouse interaction). I tried using the timer but didn't really get all that close.
Here is Lee's original code:
Code:
package {
import com.gskinner.motion.GTween;
import com.leebrimelow.utils.Math2;
import com.theflashblog.fp10.SimpleZSorter;
import fl.motion.easing.Exponential;
import flash.display.Loader;

I need to make an image gallery that uses a carousel style animation...minus the 3D part.Basically, we'll have an array of images loaded from an XML file...could be any number of images.The stage will have 5 images lined up edge to edge. Each image will be 300x200, but masked to only show the middle 100x200 pixels. The image in the middle (the third one) will be fully visible, with the mask showing all 300x200 pixels of the image.When the user clicks on the next or previous buttons, the entire row of images will slide over and the new middle one will animate open to show the full image.
Screen shot of basic idea: Loading the XML and images and such is no problem...adding them to the stage and setting a mask for each, no problem.It's the actual functionality of getting the whole group to slide at once and the next image mask in line to animate into the center position while the current center position mask animates back down to normal.
I followed the 3D Carousel tutorial from gotoandLearn http:[url].... I was able to put in my images and change the features to how I want, but for the life of me can't figure out how to make the thing auto rotate.
var tw:GTween = new GTween(container, 0.8, {rotationY:targetRotation}, ease:Exponential.easeOut});
tw.autoRotation = true;
But when I added it it just gave me errors and the carousel would not load.
I've got the stop command in and the get url, what I wanted to know is if there is a line of code or something to dealy the fetch for like 5seconds? Also how after adding an animation do I keep it there, for instance I have three animations all starting at different parts and I need to extend the first one so the graphic stays in place. I tried just adding frames to each animations layer to extend it, but it fouls up the animation.
View 11 RepliesFor examples sake, say I have an 'Icon' class. When you set Icon's 'name' variable, it downloads the image (of the given name) from a server/directory.
The problem however, is that even though the name (of the image) is provided, the name of the server, or even the folder containing the image is not.
Of course, I could explicitly define the full name and location of the file to the class, but if I ever decide to change folder structure I would have to go through and find all references to the folder and change it. It also seems wrong to litter all of my parent classes with arbitrary URL's to feed to the Icon class.
The preference of course would be to 'globally request' the image server/directory on instantiation, but in the world of OOP how is this best achieved?
I was just about to have the Icon class dispatch a bubbling event, letting something at the end of the displayList catch the event/request and feed it the information (a String) it was looking for, but it didn't feel right. It feels like dispatchEvent should only be used to Dispatch Events, not request a string...
Also, I've come up to similar situations where I've needed a similar request structure without being an extension of EventDispatcher (such as just a primitive Object). Is there a best practice for both?
I'm creating a quiz and as a timer in the quiz I have a flash movie (an animated clock). I poll the clock every second to see if the time for the quiz has run out.

First of all, it just fetches the flash movie object, and then calls some mehtods on the object. This works fine in Firefox (pc & mac), Safari (mac) but in IE8 on pc it returns 'unexpected error on line 3' (or any other line that uses the flashMovie object

My main.swf loads symbols from other swfs at runtime. If I keep all the swfs(main and others)on my server, things work fine. But if I keep all of them on a CDN, one particular symbol won't display occassionally. With flash tracer plugin for firefox I am able to see that all the symbols have been loaded and their z-indices are as they should be.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flex-based client app which "talks" to the back-end through BlazeDS. In one of my use cases there will be a so called "Photo Wall" view, which will present a number of the most recent photos, submitted from people and for locations the user is following (Facebook-like).
The thing is, the data in this photo wall has to be filtered by "All", meaning no filter, "Friends", meaning friends that the user is following, and "Locations", meaning locations the user is following. If I get data from the server only once (when the ALL filter is selected by default), I will store it locally, and the next time a user clicks on a filter, this local collection will be filtered locally. The problem is that I can't predict how many of all recent photos are coming from friends, and how many from locations, thus I may end up with a page that shows only one photo, where a minimum of 5 photos should always be present. I clearly don't want to deal with partial fetching and stuff like that.
The other way is making two separate requests to the server initially, one to get a collection of recent photos from friends, and one for locations. Thus I will make sure I have the bare minimum of photos for the filtered pages. When data arrives, the client will merge those two collections, sort by date, and voila there is the "ALL" collection (of course, repeating photos will have to be pruned while merging)Third, making this same thing down at the server level, by making two separate queries and then merging them.
I have a problem that em fetching image from xml having html tag.

My app needs to fetch the current date and I don't want it to come from the computer's clock. I've searched [URL] and other sites for APIs, but have come short so far. Is there a web service somewhere or any other dedicated server where I could fetch today's date from using AS3?
