Way To Manually Set The Thumbnail Images?
May 26, 2009
We bought this Flash template to save time:to make this siteI knew a template would limit us (especially since I only know HTML/a little CSS), but of course, we need a few tweeks. To save time (and if anyone is interested), I have uploaded the source files so you can see the structure here:The flash file is set up like this:Fla file for all the image souces & layoutIndex.html File has some sort of fancy javascriptText.html file is the editable file where non-flash-knowing dingbats like me can just edit the text and POOF! Magic!I know I have bastardized them from the original and some stuff is probably wonky.The biggest problem is that the "thumbnails" that you click on at the starpage are auto-generated, cropping the top left 100x100 square. I don't know why this is the case, and honestly, I think it looks awful.
Is there any way to manually set the thumbnail images, so they are cropped artistically rather than randomly? I asked the template tech support and they told me to "make my images 100x100". I did that for the first blue logo, and it looks like CRAP! Sure, I have the icon I would like, but when someone goes to browse the gallery, they get a 100x100 icon displaying instead of a lovely fullscreen pic.

This is a code that open a XML file, containing a small list of images, and place them as thumbs on the page.It kinda work now, but the funny thing is, the order of the thumbs is totally scrambled compared to the xml list, and I can't just see why!It has something to do whith when the loaders gets transfered via addEventListener to the placePics function, more than that I cant find out!There may be the better way to put up this code. I just feel putting it up in two nested addEventListeners like this is not the best of practice. But I see no other way here.
package { import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; public class thumbHolder extends MovieClip { var xmlRequest:URLRequest; var

1) I bought a photo gallery that works well, but when I use it in a project I'm working on, the thumbnail images don't display, but everything else does including XML loaded text so I'm pretty sure it has to do with the actionscript and the level it's targeting.
2) I also can't figure out how to shrink the size of the full view photo which seems to also be loaded somehow with action script to a blank MC, but it may not be in the script below... there's a lot of script here that I don't understand.

I have completed the excellent Flash Thumbnail Gallery Tutorial (and the Picture gallery Tutorial). I have been able to update the dynamic text content, and basically customize the look and feel of the .swf. That works when I upload it to my website.My problem is that neither in Preview mode (via Flash) nor once uploaded to my website can I get my XML file to call my own images up. It will call the tutorial images from Kirupa if I leave them in there.
I have tried to use relative and absolute file paths for the image URL, and neither is working. I even tried using "image ID=" tags inside the node, to no avail. I have an image directory that is a few folders deep, so I tried putting the XML, FLA and SWF (all together) in different places, updating the SWF on my html page, and then republishing. In the place where my image should be, there is nothing.Flash reports an error when I hit CTRL+Enter that it cannot find those particular files.

I am trying to create a dynamic menu for a video player. Much like the one found here (MTV OverDrive. )Obviouslythis is a Flash site and I can only assume the video list is being generated via XML. I am trying to accomplish the same thing, only I am not using FCS.
I just want to create the buttons dynamically with thumbnail images and text via XML, and in turn load the video based on a button click. I have the video part working fine, using a video object, I just need to know how to create the buttons WITH THUMBS from an XML file. I can figure out how to load the video once the button is clicked. The problem is the menu itself and loading the different thumbnail with the button.I am sure it has something to do with "attachMovie,DuplicateMovie, or CreateEmptyMovieClip" but I am not sure how to do this with XML.

I have built a gallery similar to the one found on Kirupa with a siding thumbnail gallery that references xml. Everything works great except that the images I want to load at their large size vary in width so when they load referencing the upper left hand corner they are not centered. I would like to load them so that each image in centered in the "picture" image area. I created a new movie clip and gave it the instance name of "picture" and center justified it but the images now load with THEIR upper left corner in the center of the "picture" image area. do I have to add code to the xml? is there anything I can ad to th AS to load pictures centered?

Ok the fourth page of the website is a portfolio page with 16 thumbnails (4 across 4 down) which opens a larger pic on the same page to the right.
I can't figure out what to change. The first and third thumb down seem to be linked and open the same image. Same with two and two down from that and so on. I want to separate them so each open their own image. If I edit it in PS both thumbs change...
I click several times and well thumb one and the third one down is:
onClipEvent (load) {
i = 1;
}

I'm working on one current project, I don't have any issues to load a SWF into a main SWF but I can't figure out how to apply dynamically the scale down and up into a thumbnail images size while using the Resize event handler to fit in any browsers sizes.
I load SWF into a Loader object then add it into a container => currentMC. I want to size it and keep all the pieces inside this container. Therefore no matter browser size, I just want to be able to apply scale on it to fit it.
Does anyone know how to do that? How would I deal with stageWidth and stageHeight?

I have a flash image gallery that loads images through xml. Images have to be croped for thumbnails. So u have to have two folders, one for the thumbnails an another file for the big size images. I would like to know if there is a way to load only one image ( and not this image's thumbnail too) and with a script or something, to resize this image to get the thumbnail. To make my self clearer here is the xml code:
image../gallery_flash/imageGallery/images/watches/i1005.jpg image
thumb../gallery_flash/imageGallery/thumbs/watches/i1005.jpg thumb
(For some reason it doesnt show the xml right...) I dont want to have the line (thumb>../gallery_flash.), but only load one image and get the thumbnail also.

I am going to create a scrolling panel with quite large image. The height will be 400px and the width will be different from image to image.
If I do this in only flash the swf will be too large for use on the Internet. So I want to load the images from a xml-document. And this is my problem:
How do I load my images into the panel from an xml-document? And the width of my panel should be as long as the total width of the images are.

I am working on a website where I want certain images to load whenever a user clicks on a thumbnail. I want a preloader to appear before the image is displayed. I created this so far:
mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loadListener = new Object();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("foto.jpeg", placeholder_mc);
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function(placeholder_mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
[Code] ....
When I preview this of course I see my image, but I want to know if the preloader works. So I hit ctrl+enter again and... nothing. The progress bar (bar_mc) blinks once and then blank... a white screen... Besides, I want this code to be executed when a user clicks a thumbnail, how can I implement this on a button, while at the same time, the first thumbnail should load automatically, so there's no exmpty page when the user first opens the website?

I have implemented a thumbnail. Then when I click on the thumbnail images, i want to create a popup window in flash. But the problem here is that no action is performing when i click on the thumbnails.
function createThumbnails(xml,MC){
var totThmbs = xml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
var Hldr = MC.createEmptyMovieClip("Hldr",200);
Hldr.attachMovie("thumbnail_bg","thumbnail_bg",100);
Hldr._y = 235;

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.

I am creating an image gallery where the user can select from several thumbnail images. Once selected, the thumbnails will enlarge and load the full sized image. My problem is that while the user is waiting for the full sized image to load, he may decide to close that image and view another image. I am trying to find a way to stop a loader from loading.ere is the code I have used. My problem is that even though the user has clicked on the unloadBtn, the loader continues to load the file. Is there a way to disable that?
Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I can't seem to wrap my head around this image loading problem with my actionscript 3.0 project. I suspect it has something to do with how I have the crossDomain.xml set up. The problem is that I can load youtube movie thumbnail images from [URL] into flash and display them completely fine when testing/running the SWF in a stand alone (local) player. But when I upload the SWF and test it through the web I receive Sandbox Errors and Security Violations. Here is my crossDomain.xml (stored on the root of the server):

I am making a gallery, which you can view here:[URL]ok, firstly, when you click a thumbnail, you cannot scroll them until you roll off the click thumbnail, and I'm not sure why. is it just a movieclip thing? or can I put some code in to re-get focus of something? ok, now for the two general questions:
1. When you roll over the thumbs, they go up, sometimes they flick back down though, even though you are rolled over them still. is this just because they are moving?
2. Does anyone know why when I add this:

Im trying to create via xml and a for() loop a thumbnails wiewer and each thumbnail have a simple onrelease function.....but my probleme is that my 'container' movieClip and 'BT' movieClip dont show when I export the movie...also when i trace()them the output is empty. maybe is because they are inside x.onLoad(xml){} function ? At the end of the script you can remove // before the trace() function for ckecking in the output panel. here is my code:
xml file: TumbLoader.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><slideshow><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/1.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/2.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/3.jpg" /><photos[code]...

Yes, I'm making a photo gallery like everyone else. I'm making it so people can order pics from the site. There are going to be about 500 photos per album in 5 different categories. The photos can be shrunk down to about 60kb a piece. If I use the actual pictures as thumbnails, just scaled down, the total size of all the pics will be about 30mb. I know this is a lot.
Either way, the people looking at the album will most likely look at nearly all the pics so they will be using up bandwidth either way. Plus, if I use the actual pics as thumbs the user will not have to wait to see actual pic when it's clicked on because it's already loaded. A preloader is annoying to me. I do realize a preloader would be wise when loading the thumbs. Just dislike them after you click one for the big picture.
So is using shrunken thumbs a necessity or if the big pic is under a certain size it shouldn't matter if I use it for a thumb also?

But today I came across this articlevertheless, there's no official explanation of the process.What if I have e.g. 5 images, and I wanna turn them into a short piece of animation. How can I do it using pure actionscript 3?

I have a candlestick chart that is working great when the numbers being dealt with are large but when the numbers are small the vertical axis starts at the very top of my data and ends at the very bottom. For example if my max number in my XML is 12 and my min is 11 the charts top is 12 and the charts bottom is 11 with 11.2, 11.4, 11.6, 11.8 in between. How can I force the chart to do 22 to 1 on the vertical axis ({maxgraph+10} and {mingraph-10}).

I have a menu that is built using its own AS3 class, when a link in this menu is clicked it fires a function according to some variables passed in from an external XML file.
The menu is made up of four subsections and I want the user to be able to jump to the parent of that subsection from a button that is completely separate from that menu.
What I'd theoretically like to do is trick the parent button into thinking it's been clicked when the user clicks one the buttons in this other menu.
Is this even possible? I'm tearing my hair out trying to think of a work-around, but I have to admit that it comes to passing variables, never mind passing them between classes!
