A Static Image To 3D Carousel

AS3 Image Carousel
Hi I am trying to replicate the an image carousel like the one on nissanusa.com.

I have created a movie(image1) with five layers containing the images.

and given them instance names ClipA, ClipB, etc.

I then moved ClipA from the top layer to below ClipB but then the listeners dont catch any mose roll over.

Any Ideas?

Is there a way to dynamically move them up or down layers?


image1.clipA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,overFunction1);
image1.clipA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,outFunction1);

image1.clipB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,overFunction2);
image1.clipB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,outFunction1);


function overFunction1(obj:Object) {
trace ("on roll called");
display_txt.text = "CLIP A";
bgdark.visible = true;
image1.stop();
image1.clipA.gotoAndStop(10);
image1.clipB.gotoAndStop(20);
image1.clipC.gotoAndStop(20);
image1.clipD.gotoAndStop(20);
image1.clipE.gotoAndStop(20);
}


Thanks

Static Image Frames
Hi,
I am working on my photography portfolio page. At this point I have my page set to "show all" but when it is loaded on a computer with a higher resolution the images stretch out and become pixelly. How do I make my images a static size within a liquid page? Or is there any other way to fix this?

Have a look : http://www.mishahonu.com

Static Image W/Mouseovers
Hi,
I am very new to flash and don't know much about it at all. I am trying to learn it in an attempt to make this type of page http://planetbattlefield.gamespy.com...&id=239&game=8
except all in flash. Previously I have been using Photoshop with Image Ready to splice the image up and then use Javascript for the mouseovers. Updating this is a real pain since the image numbers change everytime. I am sure this is possible to do in flash but how hard do you think it would be for a newbie and where would I even start? Thanks

FLV Player And Static Image After
Hi all,
Fairly new to Flash.

Here is my question-I have a flv player and I have it linked up to the movie that I would like to play. In addition, the client would like to also have a static image load before the movie loads (like a preloader, but just a static image to place while the movie loads.) Then he would like another different static image to load after the video in the flv player stops.

I am thinking I need to write some actionscript but have no clue how and how to set it up.

Thanks to anyone who can give me guidance on this! I am going it alone and learning flash as best I can through books and such, no classes so I have nobody to front the many questions that I have!

Static Image If Flash Not Available
How do I do all of the following?Insert a flash animation using EOLAS-compliant JavaScript;
The JavaScript must be in an external JS file;
If JavaScript is disabled, a static image is seen instead.

The image (static or Flash) would appear in a div such as:

Code:
<div id="header-image'><img src="/images/header-image.jpg" width="780" height="80" alt=""></div>

Anyone Know Any Image Carousel Tutorial?
Hi,

I'm looking for an image carousel (rotating like those found in carnival rides) done in Flash5. Preferably horizontally rotating and customizable...

Anyone seen one lately? Somewhat looks like this except this one is done with java applets and is more like a ferris wheel rather than a carousel.


Thanks!

I Need An Image Carousel, Scroller Like This One...
Hi there,

Im looking to build a scrolling image carousel like the one shown here

http://www.nikoleramsay.com/

The requirements are:
The images must be loaded in individually to reduce preload time.
For it to be scrolling.
To have a dragable bar
To remain 100% width in any browser.

Does any know of a script, a site, a tutorial that might help me complete this? Doesn’t have to be a free script, i don’t mind paying for this.

To be honest, any help in the right direction would be fantastically helpful here.

MX AS Question: Static Image Hovers?
Using this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm

I successfully implemented this script, and have it working, etc. i would like to, however, do one of two things.

1: multiline formatted dynamic text in hovers? could this be achieved loading txt files? or is there a easier way? I can do multiline, but there is no way to format, or even do breaks.

2: Static txt loaded per picture hover? what would be the easiest way to tackle this? i thought maybe multible movie clips, but with the amount of pictures im dealing with, i wouldnt know where to begin.

Assigning A Variable Or ID To A Static Image?
Ok here is the issue. I have an XML document that is read in a flash MC that is controlled via an administration area. The flash file is displaying dynamic text for users to order servers. In the flash file I have dynamic fields that read server name, details and price. The dynamic fields are all controlled via an XML file (thanks for the Displaying XML Data in Flash tutorial). All of the servers input by the admin area also pulled from a database each having its own ID.

Here is the problem, the order button is an image. How do I pass a variable or an ID to the image based upon the server that is input in to the admin area? Would this be done in actionscript or XML?

I could probably make the order button a text field thus manipulating it via XML but would rather have an image. Any input or help is appreciated.

After Flv Plays Static Image Appears
Hi-

I have an flv playing through a .swf file, After the flv finishes I would like a static image to appear. I thought this would work:

Code:

hands._visible = false;

listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
   hands._visible = true;
};
myPlayer.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);


"hands" being the image, "myPlayer" being the video - But i must be doing something wrong. The video plays, no problem - but the static image never reappears.

Carousel Image Gallery Scale
I finished my first design in flsh 8 using autoscript. It is a carousel gallery of 14 images rotating around.
I am very new to this area but i hava a knowledge on programming language.
What i want is when an image comes in the center of the monitor to scale
automatically, stay at the max scale for around 2 secs then scale back to its original size.
when an image is in the proccess of scaling, the other images should stop and wait until the image gets its original size.
actually the proccess goes like that:
1st image in screen center - scale for 2 secs - remain at max size for 2 sec - scale back to original size - carousel rotation -
2nd image - scale.....and so on
Actually what i am lookin for is in url http://www.greekmilitary.net/
I would be very gratefull if anyone can supply me with an appropriate actionscript code or any reference tutorials on this

Best Practices - Flash Image Carousel
When creating an image Carousel in flash for a web page, what are the best practices for loading quickly and changing images?

So for instance, on an ecommerce site, the home page often has a block created in flash in which 4-6 images are included with arrows or image numbers are displayed at the bottom as buttons. The images automatically change to the next ever x seconds unless the user selects an image number or the forward/back arrows.

Obviously, smaller the image the better. But how about best practices for things like:

Do you include one image in the block and then load dynamically the other images? Should all images be dynamically loaded if you want to change them on a daily/weekly basis? Any suggestions for making sure the images, especially the first one is loaded quickly?

Anyone have sample ~gpl code that demonstrates a block like this?

Two examples - kohls.com, jcrew.com

Image In Center Of Carousel Menu?
Hi, I recently built myself a carousel menu that works well, and was just wondering if it was possible to place a movieclip at it's center? the problem i've been having is that the icons at the back still seem to display overtop of the central movie clip, is there perhaps some way to set the depth of the movie clip I want in the center, so that the icons in front pass in front of the movie clip while the ones in back pass behind?


sorry if this is a bit confusing, i've been up all night trying to figure this out =/

thx in adv.

Static XML Menu List Hyperlinked To Display Swf/image

I have had a look at other examples but find myself getting confused. I think I need it to be like an idiots guide, no offence to myself of course.

Loading And Changing The Alpha Of An Image Via A Static Class
Hi !

I'm trying to make a URL-Loader Class to speed up my workflow, but I can't manage to make the images I am loading visible, turning their alpha to 1. The reason may be that I am using static function, but I am not so good at OOP so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use the following line to invoke my custom loader:

import com.ab.utils.Load

Load.Image(menuitem.holder_mc, menuitem.image, this)

--------

the code of the class Load is as follows:


Code:

package com.ab.utils
{
/**
*
* @author ABº
*
*/

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import com.ab.utils.DebugTF
import com.ab.utils.Make
import com.ab.utils.Make2
import caurina.transitions.Tweener
import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class Load
{
static private var url:String;
static private var request:URLRequest;
static private var loader:Loader;
static private var _ITEM:Object;

static private var _TARGET_ROOT:MovieClip

public static function Image(mc:Object, given_url:String, root:MovieClip):void
{
url = given_url

loader = new Loader();
request = new URLRequest(url);

configureListeners(loader.contentLoaderInfo);

loader.load(request);

mc.alpha = 0

mc.addChild(loader);

_ITEM = mc

_TARGET_ROOT = root
}

public static function configureListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void
{
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, httpStatusHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
dispatcher.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
}

public static function completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
trace("completeHandler: " + event);
}

public static function httpStatusHandler(event:HTTPStatusEvent):void
{
trace("httpStatusHandler: " + event);
}

public static function initHandler(event:Event):void
{
trace("initHandler: " + event);

Tweener.addTween(_ITEM, { alpha:1, time:0.5, transition:"EaseOutSine" } )
}

public static function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void
{
trace("ioErrorHandler: " + event);
}

public static function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
trace("progressHandler: bytesLoaded=" + event.bytesLoaded + " bytesTotal=" + event.bytesTotal);
}
}
}
Notice where I call a Tweener, trying to make my mc (_ITEM)'s alpha turn 1.

I tried thing like loader.content and loader.content.holder_mc, but to no avail.

If anyone has a clew...

Season's greetings

Can't Find A Simple Image Rotator Tutorial (not Carousel)
Hi,

I need to make a simple movie that rotates through images/swfs, in order, and has a small navigation to select any of the images in the rotator. Probably will only contain 3 - 6 images/swfs at a time. I have come across many pre-made flash image rotators, but I need something a bit more open that I can customize to my liking. I'm not necessarily looking for ease of use or automated. I know enough AS that I understand it, I just need help writing it sometimes. Kinda like when you can read a language, but you're not fluent in writing it. Anyway, I'm not asking for someone to write AS for me, but if anyone has something already on hand that they don't mind sharing or if you know of a tutorial that may help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I hope that you can help me , also maybe with a code example. This problem drives me bonkers ...

Are Static Classes Not Always So Static?
I've had two different problems, that I suspect are related, and they both involve static classes that exhibit not so static behavior (or perhaps too static).

The first problem:
I wanted to create a class that behaved like a Dictionary in .NET, to assist me in dealing with some name/value pair. Here is a simplified version:


Code:
class Dictionary
{
private var _dictionary:Object = new Object();

public function Get(key:String):Object
{
if( _dictionary[key] == undefined) throw new Error(key + " does not exist in dictionary!");
return _dictionary[key];
}

public function Add(key:String, value:Object)
{
_dictionary[key] = value;
}

public function get keys():/*String*/Array
{
var myKeys:/*String*/Array = [];
for(var key:String in _dictionary)
{
myKeys.push(key);
}
return myKeys;
}
}
Okay, it worked well until I created a static class with a static member of type Dictionary.

Something like this:

Code:
class Config
{
private function Config() { /*it's static, don't instantiate!*/ }

private static var _dictionary:Object = new Object();

private static function getFromDictionary(key:String):Object
{
Assert.IsNotNull( _dictionary[key], "'" + key + "' is missing from the config file");
return _dictionary[key];
}

/*
* Config Properties
* to cut down on typos...
*/
public static function get SomeInterestingValue():String
{
return String(getFromDictionary("SomeInterestingValue"));
}
}
Now after creating the Config class (which works fine by itself), every member of type Dictionary in instances of other (non-static) classes is referenced to the static instance in Config.

I mean, anytime I instance a class that has a member of type Dictionary:

Code:
class SomeCoolClass
{
var mything:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
}
The member instance is pointed to the private static member _dictionary in Config! (I hope this seems odd to other people and not just me. )

Okay, now, the problem I really care about:
I have a helper class (let's call it Storyboard) for playing a sequence of Tweens. I can add instances of Tween to an Array and the Storyboard will play each one using the onMotionFinished of the previous Tween.
Well, I realized that sometime I need multiple tweens to occur simultaneously. For example, I need the mc to slide in and fade in at the same time.
I extend Storyboard to accept an array of tweens to start simultaneously. So now Storyboard has an array of an array of tweens. Are you with me still?
Now, eventually I call playStoryboard() and everything plays back nicely and in sequence and I no longer have a large set of nasty methods chained by onMotionFinished callbacks. Well, this only works if I am using different easing equations for each tween (in the simulataneous set).

Example, code (this works as expected):

Code:
var twSlide:Tween = new Tween(clip,"_x",Quint.easeIn,0,100,1,true);
twSlide.start();

var twAlpha:Tween = new Tween(clip,"_alpha",Quint.easeIn,0,100,3,true);
twAlpha.start();
Both tweens start together and the fade takes 3 times longer than the slide. Both are using the same easing equation: Quint.easeIn.

When I add them to my Storyboard, twAlpha behaves as if it had the values from twSlide. If I change either easing equation then, it behaves as expected.

How is this related the Dictionary example? Because the easing functions are static functions, but it appears as if an "instance" of the function is being shared between the tweens.

I suspect everyone will want the full code. I will post it later (I need to remove some client-specific stuff, and I'm in a rush; so I posted hoping this is problem that someone can identify quickly).

Please feel free to ask for clarification on any point.

Static Text | Variable | Static Text
i'm thinking i need a simple actionscript to do this but i'm not exactly sure. i have a dynamic text field that is loading a variable named count. however i would like to place static text on either side of the value of the variable. since the variable is an integer that will only increase, it's horizontal width will also increase as well. i can't very well place two strings of static text on either side of a variable that will grow in width over time. does that make sense?

essentially, i want to have a dynamic text box display a string of text, then the value of a variable (that will change in length), then another string of text, but i would like it to all be seamless, looking as if i just typed the whole sentence in a word processor. thanks for your time!
