View 3 RepliesI want to develop a player, which shows imagesMost of the things can be done SAMPLE :[URL] but I am so much confused about the progress bar or scrubber which can be moved or how to arrange with respect to time just like VIDEO Player every image will have to play 10 sec , so if 20 images , so there will be 200 sec so how i should control this time bar or even when user move the scrubber, it moves to exact image with respect to time
View 2 RepliesI am working on a site, and I have an issue that I cannot resolve.
Here is the link: [URL]
If you click on the "Issues" link, you will see a slideshow comes up.
If you click on the "Campaign" link, you will a page come up with links on the side, and a bare space to the left.
In the blank space, there is supposed to be a slideshow to come up. When I test the site on my computer, it comes up perfectly fine. But, when I load it to the server, it does not show up.
The ONLY difference in these pages is that the "Campaign" page is a scrollable page, where as the "Issues" page is not. I have tried to resize the scrollable page, and move it to the right side of the page, but it makes the text unreadable- even after resizing the box, and such. I have tried to change the slideshow into a symbol. I've tried a couple of other things, but to no avail.
Im making my web page and I want to add a slideshow that shows you the promotions I have. In this slideshow I put a TIMER so when it pass 5 secs it change to the next image, also I put buttons so when you click button 1 or 2 or 3 it shows you image 1 or 2 or 3.
The problem Everything runs OK but when I click on any button (1 or 2 or 3) just when its about to change to the next image (frame) it starts to go crazy, it goes from the first frame to the third and again and again(If I click any other moment it runs perfect).

I'm using a simpel preloader script that holds the movie on frame 1, and plays frame 2 when everything is loaded.I used this script before without any problems, but for some reason the textfield with the "loading"-text only shows up at exactly 50%.There are no other objects/movieclips/textfieds except this one "loading"-text on frame 1. When I trace the 'update()'-function, it traces once at the beginning of the script, holds, and than traces as it should after 50%.[code]

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.[URL]I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.
Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site?Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking?
The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);

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 am hoping someone can lead me down the path to figure out this issue I am having. I am trying to create an app that shows images using the RSS feed supplied by the sets page. I am not going through flikr's API, i am simply using the url from the feed on the sets page.
so far, I have been able to ouput the xml from the rss feed as a whole it looks like this

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.
View 11 RepliesI was wondering how would i go about making a simple application that can be run on a website that can:
-show a opening page that will stay for 5 seconds (for advertisments)
-show random pictures (well they will only be text)
-can change slide by clicking on screen.
I would like to create a simple slideshow for my Web site that is populated with images from a database. All I want it to do is pull the 6 most recent photos using ColdFusion, fade from one image to the next and loop.
View 1 Repliesshare with me a source of Simple XML image slideshow. I just want to see the method of loading pictures and switching between previos and next of the current one.
View 1 RepliesIt'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 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.
im loading multiple images but how do I make sure the program will start once all images have dispatched a complete event. like make a universal loader for all the other "small loaders" if you understand.
View 1 RepliesI'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

I have this simple counter I cannot get it to work! I just need it to start at $0 and increase by $0.31. So it would look like this $0 - $0.31 - $0.62 - $0.93 - $1.24 and so on. And also it would do keep going when it hits $100.31 - $100.62 so forth!

I am trying to export a flash animation as a mov, so i can convert it for html5. When I export the movie, the animation has artifacts in it, strange things do not erase correctly, they do not show when i view it in Flash, or when I view the exported flv file.
So as you can see, there is a 1/2 drawn image. They round things are floating down, but for some reason, as they float down to stack, they leave behind some partial images.

Ok, So I've decided to show some information on my site, but instead of using a static table, I've decided i wanted to use flash.Basically, want I want to do is have 3 bits of information to be displayed in the flash and a start screen.When the flash loads, it will show the starter Screen. From there the user will select either one of the three buttons,which will direct them to one of the 3 bits of information. I was thinking each bit of information on a different frame.How would I link the Buttons to the information?
