Programming First Image In Xml/flash Picture Gallery?

Kirupa Picture Gallery / Keeping The Image On Stage As New Image Loads
Hi, I have the Kirupa Image Gallery implemented and it works great. But I was wondering how I can go about having the image stay on screen as it is loading the next image, so it's not such an abrupt transition. Currently the image container goes blank as it loads the next image. I assume I will need another image movieclip that sits underneath the first one... but then what?

Thanks!

Picture Gallery (Image Blur)
Currently, I'm using a picture gallery with a slider. The problem is whenever I seem to add too many pictures at a certain point it will blur (actually it's just a bunch of muted colored strips across the image). Does anyone know what would make flash react this way does it only allow you have a certain amount of pictures in the gallery or is there a setting I'm unaware of.
Please HELP.
Thank you in advance and any help you can offer is greatly appreciated

Picture Numbers Outlined In Image Gallery
Hi,

I have an image gallery.
The sequence of the pictures is being changed by ARRAY.

The user might give the order "proceed" or click on a picture number on the list of pictures.

01 02 03 04 05 and so on.

Then the image would appear together with some individual comments.

I planned to have an swf.file for each pictures which would be loaded when needed.

Now I want the numbers to stay marked (in red) when they are clicked on and to remain marked until another number-button is being pressed.

Since I am just starting with action script I don't know how to do it.

Happy if I could get some help ...

Image Gallery - Select Specific Picture
Hey,

first of all thanks to Kirupa !
I used the script from section "Flash MX" - Tutorial "Create a Photo Gallery".

I love it, cause it´s simple, easy to use and for my targets perfect. But - i have one question... to navigate there are two buttons. One "next", other "previous" - if you click "next" the it will rise [+1] and on previous [-1].

This is clear for me and i have a (little) idea, how it works and function. But i´m a beginner. So my question: is it possible to create a button, which call a specific number ?

I have pictures from 1-76 and i need some buttons to call special pictures.
ex. 34 or 56,.... How can i make this button ?

My AS-Skills are really, really bad. My idea in my little head was, that i need a button, which change the actual .rootphoto to "0" and then "+34" or "+56".
So i can jump there, and then navigate as usual (next, previous). Cause if i make a button only with

Code:
on (release) {
_root.changePhoto(34);
}
he makes 0+34 (is ok) but also +34 when i at picture 31 (=65)...

I hope anybody understand my strange text and problem.... hope, somebody can help... greetings from austria ! Reloop


PS edit: i have seen now the "new" gallery with XML in Flash MX 2004 - this script will also perfect for my site - but there is the same problem ! I need only a few buutons to jump (or "call") also to specific numbers.....

(please see demo: Win: http://www.a2flash.net/demo/a2flash_newdemo.exe
Mac: http://www.a2flash.net/demo/a2flash_demo.zip)

Picture Gallery Flash MX
I'm trying to make a picture gallery with Flash MX. I have about 20 pictures @ 640 x 480. The final gallery will be on a cd..keep in mind I must publish to Flash 5 and I will only be able to use 1 SWF file and no 'loadmovie'. I've been able to do this, but the final SWF comes out to 16 MB and takes a while to load. Is there any way to create 1 SWF and have it load fast...please advise!

I'm sooooo in over my head.

I’m trying to make a flash picture gallery - and so far (with a little help) I made it. But now I want to make it XML so i don't have to edit the flash movie every time I want to add a picture.

Can someone help me please?

[FLASH 8] Picture Gallery Help Needed
Hi,
I've built a photo gallery, but need help with the "next" and "previous" buttons. I load all the images into thumbnail movieclips in the first frame. When you click on a thumbnail it places the photo into a larger movieclip.

The code when you click on a thumbnail button is:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("open");
place = "images/1";
}

Which takes the playhead to "open" on the timeline. This is the code on "open":

loadMovie(place+".jpg", "large");

Where "large" is the movieclip that contains the picture.

I need a "next" button to load the next image in the sequence (in this case "images/2.jpg") into "large". I'm at a loss...can anyone help please? Do I need to make an array?

Thank you, and Happy Christmas!

[FLASH 8] Picture Gallery Help Needed
Hi,
I've created a picture gallery that works like this:

I load all the images into the movie on the first frame into thumbnail movieclips ("1" to "4"), like so:

loadMovie("images/1.jpg", "1");
loadMovie("images/2.jpg", "2");
loadMovie("images/3.jpg", "3");
loadMovie("images/4.jpg", "4");

Then when you click on a thumbnail button:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("open");
place = "images/1";
}

it loads the corresponding pic full size into the main movieclip ("large"):

loadMovie(place+".jpg", "large");


My problem is, I need to create a "previous" and "next" button so that once an image is open in "large" you can just flick between the pics without having to go back to the thumbnails. Can anyone help please?

Thanks,
Bilbo

Help: Flash MX Picture Gallery Tutorial
Hi, I hope someone can help me out with this. I am trying to make the picture gallery based on the tutorial here at Kirupa.com with the code by Sbeener. I got everything to work fine, my only problem is when the SWF executes, the pictures load in the bottom right corner instead of the middle of the stage where I created my movie clip with instance name "photo" for them to load inot. Does anyone know how to fix this? If anyone can help me out with this, I would really appreciate it. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why it won't load right.

Thank you for your time,

Looking For A Flash Slide Show Picture Gallery
Hello,

Is anyone familiar with a free or low cost flash gallery that I can use for my web site's picture portfolio?. I am familiar with uslide and photobucket, but these slide shows are not exactly what I'm looking for. What I would like to have is thumbnails and a space for the picture to open, with description text, and without the text or thumbnails covering any part of the picture, once it's open. I would also like the picture to be reasonably sized, meaning not too small, and if possible, the ability to click on it and see it larger -in full size (say 800X600), and from there either go back to the thumbnails or navigate to the next picture. It sounds complicated but I've seen many web sites which have something similar.

Another question: if any of you knows a bit more about web design, would you actually recommend using a flash slide show for that purpose or would it be more useful to simply have it coded with html.

Thank you!

Dynamic Picture Gallery Help Needed [Flash Side Only]
Hi, im fairly new to flash and im trying to make a dynamic picture gallery

the PHP side of things ive done, i just cant figure out how to get the pictures to dynamically load in flash, once i know the basic principle i can do the rest

i can dynamically load text into the movie, but thats because i create a dynamic text box and just load the text in as a variable, although i dont seem to be able to mimic this method for picture

ive tried reading some tutorials on slide shows which dynamically load picture but i when i tried to mimic the techniques used there it didnt seem to work

so for the moment i want to be able to load just one picture into my movie [for now i will load this off the hard disk] how would i go about doing this using action script only - please be very specific with answers as i am new to flash

in case anyone would like to advise further once ive done this i plan to setup an array of X by Y thumbnails, a PHP script will supply the picture names of the thumbnails

any advice on the picture problem would be MUCH appreciated

thankyou in advance for any suggestions made

Simple Gallery Example Flash With PHP Serving Image List And Image Sizes
this is simple gallery example for AS2
gallery is nothing special ease to use and implement

interesting thing about this example is that you pass a folder, and PHP side gathers images list from folder and returns it to Flash in XML form together with images widths and height which makes it more easier to implement this sort of galleries like I've made

example : http://www.hagane.us/as/gallery/

Flash 8 - Help W Xml Image Gallery, Thumbnails For Each Image
Hey.

New here and have found some really good tutorials! Thanks.
I desperately need a bit of help with some Actionscripting if anyone has any ideas how to do this?
I have created a photo gallery using the kirupa tutorial. That works fine. Now for each main image that the code cycles through my client wants 1-3 thumbnails to display on the side of the image and they should all be clickable and display full size in place of the main image when clicked. The previous and next buttons should still only go through the main images. Here is the xml code (as I imagine it should look like):

[code]

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
<pic>
<image>images/bowandkey_main.jpg</image>
<caption>Bow and Key Necklace: £225.00</caption>
<description>Mother of pearl (or onyx) necklace with silver-plated bow and key, cast from vintage originals </description>
<thumbnail>
<thumb1>thumbnails/bowandkey_main.jpg</thumb1>
<thumb2>thumbnails/bowandkey_portrait.jpg</thumb2>
<thumb3>thumbnails/bowandkey_closeup.jpg</thumb2>
</thumbnail>
</pic>
<pic>
<image>images/bowandkey2_main.jpg</image>
<caption>Bow and Key Necklace: £230.00</caption>
<description>Onyx necklace with silver-plated bow and key, cast from vintage originals </description>
<thumbnail>
<thumb1>thumbnails/bowandkey2_main.jpg</thumb1>
<thumb2>thumbnails/bowandkey2_portrait.jpg</thumb2>
</thumbnail>
</pic>
<pic>
<image>images/crossedfingers.jpg</image>
<caption>Crossed Fingers Necklace: £150.00</caption>
<description>Solid silver crossed fingers good luck charm, cast from 1940s celluloid gumball toy, strung on mother of pearl or onyx beads.</description>
<thumbnail>
<thumb1>thumbnails/crossedfingers_main.jpg</thumb1>
<thumb2>thumbnails/crossedfingers_closeup.jpg</thumb1>
</thumbnail>
</pic>
</images>
The thumb 1,2 and 3 are childNodes of thumbnail.

I have created a MovieClip holder to hold the thumbnails. Could someone please show me how to add to the Actionscript so that it loops through (displays) the thumb1 - thumb 3 for each main image? I suppose I would have to store the thumbnails for each image in separate folders so the flash can determine the length of the array of thumbnails for each image? And then make them clickable.

I am pulling my hair out here not getting this working... Any hinters on what to do would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the actionscript code for the image gallery:


Code:

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
caption = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
caption[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");
/////////////////////////////////////
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
prevImage();
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
nextImage();
}
};
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
};
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextImage();
};
/////////////////////////////////////
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
}
}
};
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
cap_txt.text = caption[p];
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
}
function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p--;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
cap_txt.text = caption[p];
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
cap_txt.text = caption[0];
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
}
}
function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
}
Thanks!!

Picture Gallery...
i need a simple picture gallery for my site. i have several ideas that i have seen from other sites but when i try to imitate them it seems to take a lot longer to load than the others. i have looked for several tutorials and posts looking for something to do with galleries and such but none of them seem to be much help.

what is the best way to have one in flash? should i import the pictures directly into the flash file? should i load them externally? what is the best format to use... etc...

please let me know if you know of anything
Thanks

Picture Gallery
Hmm, I hope I word this right. But if you want to see exactly what I need, hit up the Altoids site and go to the gallery, I need to make something like that with a back and next button and when the user clicks on the thumbnailed picture it loads into the other "IFrame" I'm guessing into its actual size. Any tutorials on this?

Muchly appreciated,

Picture Gallery
Hi,

I'm making a picture gallery in Flash, and I'm wondering about something:

In HTML, pictures load in faster if you use them as little thumbnails, meaning that you keep their width and height attributes smaller than the actual size.

What Im wondering is, that whether pictures in Flash would load faster if I reduced their size, just like in HTML. Thanks

Picture Gallery
Hi,

I am making a dynamic photo gallery but i am running in to a few problems.

The movie will look like this: There is a maximum of 16 photo's that can be loaded (external). First you will see a page with 16 tumbnails and when you click on a tumbnail, the larger photo will appear.

Because this gallery is used on a website with different catagories, I want to load each picute externally (for small photo's small1.jpg - small16.jpg and big1.jpg - big16.jpg). The problem is that not in all catagories there are 16 photo's, in some there are only as few as 4 photo's.

What I have already done is create 16 MC's with instance names (photo1-photo16), and an actionscript that will load all 16 (or less) JPG's into these MC's:
code:
loadMovie ("small1.jpg", photo1);
loadMovie ("small2.jpg", photo2);
blablabla
loadMovie ("small16.jpg", photo16);


Now, when there are only 4 JPG's in that directory, only those 4 will be viewed, but, when you load a JPG into a SWF, it doesn't react to actionscript I assigned to the instance "photo1" (I had an action script that views the larger picture)

For the larger picture I used the same actionscript for loading the JPG's and I have next and previous buttons, but the "next" button must be disabled at photo4 when there are only 4 photo's loaded?

Does anyone have a solution to these 2 problems?

Picture Gallery
hey everyone

I am trying to put together a flash picture gallery on my site and I am trying to build it from scratch. The method i am using is creating an empty movie clip and then loading my picture into it using loadMovie.

I have several variables being loaded from a php script including the url of the image and the number of pictures.

I am then creating the empty movie clips from actionscript using a for statement which uses the variable (number of pictures) from the php script to control the loop. I can get this part to work.

What I cant get is for the images to load properly and I have not been able to set the position for each of the movie clips.

My second problem is that I don't know how to scale the images so I end up with a kind of thumbnail interface.

I know that this is a lot to ask for but any ideas or suggestions on how to approach this project would help me a lot. Thanks

Picture Gallery Help
Hey everybody,

I am new to flash and have three seperate but sort - of related questions that I was hoping you guys could help me answer!

Question 1. In april, I will be putting on a "website" - its going to be displayed live via a projector onto a projection screen. for a small student convention, at this convention are competitions for the students to enter, the students will be leaving the competition through to doors (door A and door b) What they (I) want to do is take a photograph of a student as they leave their competition, ship the photo over to the computer holding all the files for the site, and then 10-30 seconds after the picture was taken I want it to be displayed live on the screen. I have the camera's set, they automatically take a picture and send them to a file on a computer hooked up via network. What I need is a gallery that will display pictures randomly from four sources, - 1) stock photos taken prior to the convention, 2) Pictures from Door A 3)pictures from Door B and 4) Advertisments created prior to the convention. The first three sources I want to cycle through about every 20-30 seconds, preferably with a spiffy transition from one picture to the next with preference (at least in the case of Door A and B) given to the newest photos taken. The fourth source (the advertisments) I want to cycle into the gallery every 7-10 minutes and stay on screen for 1 - 3 minutes. I can give up source 4 if nescesary, but I would like to have it. All the pictures/ads will be the same size.

The gallery doesnt need to be styled on the borders, I need it to blend and be part of the page, just change images when it needs to. I will be doing other things at the conference and cannot baby-sit the flash gallery, is their a way to create the gallery, and tell it to pull from the sources (call it four folders) and rotate when needed. I know (but dont know how to make) that the transitions elements can be set up ahead of time, but what about the live image aspect?

Question 2 - Similar to the first, but everything will be done ahead of time - at another point on the page I want to have banner ads from our sponsors, I just need a gallery to cycle through the ads at a predetermined time (i.e Ad 1 stays up for 5 minutes, while Ad 2 stays up for 2 minutes, etc)

Question 3 - Not related to the above website, I have another page I am developing that I think could greatly benefit from the coolness of flash. This will be a picture gallery for 2 products, what I am envisioning is a display area for a large picture, underneath it 2 tracks of thumbnails, click on track 1 and the display area shows the big pictures of the thumnails in that track, click on track 2 and it displays the big pictures of that track. It would also be cool if it had a zoom feature and a move feature. I know the images can be loaded in with an xml document (I think I know this) The site will be using a database with lots of products, I need to be able to make the XML and flash gallery work with the database so that it can change thumnails and bigpictures according to the database info - so when you are on product 1, you see product 1's thumbs and bigpics. Product 2 - etc.... I can make the XML dynamic, I just need the flash part, and make sure it pulls the thumbs from an xml file (or other outside source that can be set to dynamically get the info) This gallery will be styled and embeded into a product template, and
also can't be babysat or created for each product.

I am not against buying a prebuilt option if someone knows some good ones, I am also not against building it myself if someone could give me some guidance as to where to go for tutorials, that sort of thing.

Thanks for the help everybody, If you need any more info please let me know.

Help Please With Picture Gallery
Hi Guys!

My name is Rick, i want to create a picture gallery using as datasource a
xml file, until now i can load each image from xml reading its path, i
create a movieclip instance and load inside the jpg file, but now i want to
create an onPress event for each picture to send popup using javascript,
i've tried with several ways but i can't make it works, just one image can
handle the onPress event, how can i create at runtime onPress events for
each of my images?


this is my code

function CargaXML(RUTA) {
// Create a new XML object.
var flooring:XML = new XML();
// Set the ignoreWhite property to true (default value is false).
flooring.ignoreWhite = true;
// After loading is complete, trace the XML object.
flooring.onLoad = function(success) {
if (flooring.firstChild.hasChildNodes()) {
var X = 0, Y = 20;
var algo,nombre,nombre2;
for (var i = 0; i<flooring.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
nombre = "mc"+i; //name of new movieclip
var nextDepth = _root.spMain.spContentHolder.getNextHighestDepth();
_root.spMain.spContentHolder.attachMovie("mcImg", nombre, nextDepth,
{_x:X, _y:Y}); //mcImg is a movieclip in my library, so i create new
instance for each xml node
CARGARIMG(flooring.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue,
flooring.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue,
nombre, i, Y); // pas some

Y += 150;
}
//for
}
//if
_root.spMain.vScrollPolicy = "on";
};
//function
// Load the XML into the flooring object.
flooring.load(RUTA); //RUTA has the xml path
}

function CARGARIMG(Nombre, whichImage, mc, i, Y) {
if (Nombre != "Ninguna") {

loadMovie(whichImage, mc); //here i load the jpg image
// then i create a text field for an image title
var texto = "texto"+i;
createTextField(texto, getNextHighestDepth(), 0, Y+100, 300, 30);
eval(texto).multiline = true;
eval(texto).text = Nombre;
eval(texto).autoSize = "center";
mc.onPress(){trace(Nombre);} // mc has the new movieclip instance, i also
tried with eval(mc).onPress(){trace(Nombre);} but nothing works, just the
last image has attached the event =(
}


PS: im using Flash 8

Regards

Picture Gallery
Hello,

I have created a picture gallery in flash using mainly actionscript. The gallery worked perfectly, there are 8 thumbnails on stage when one is pressed a masked movieclip moves up or down untill it reaches the required image relating to the thumbnail. The images are created and exported for actionscript but are not place on the stage. That is done by creating an empty movieclip using script and placing the images in a vertical column in the movieclip.

The problem came when I wanted to add a sperate feature of a text box which displays information about the image you are seeing. I created 8 title_box mc's. and used the same code and attached them to the stage in the same way the images were. Although when it runs it is fine but the images do the same as the text dispite me changing all the variables. So the txet scrolls up and down as do the images but the images scroll to the xy value the text is using. I have looked at the co0de for hours now and just cant understand why. Any help would be appreciated.

I am obviously doing something stupid but just cant see it.

this.createEmptyMovieClip("images", 100);
this.attachMovie("mask", "mask", 101);
mask._x = images._x =200;
mask._y = target = 40;
images.setMask(mask);
images._y = -1000;
speed = 5;

this.createEmptyMovieClip("title", 110);
this.attachMovie("title_mask", "title_mask", 111);
title_mask._x = title._x =200;
title_mask._y = targetb = 340;
title.setMask(title_mask);
title._y = -100;
speed = 5;

for (var i = 0; i<8; i++)
{var img = images.attachMovie("image_"+i, "images_"+i, i);
img._y = img._height*i;
var thumb = this["thumb_"+i];
thumb.pos = target+(i*-img._height);
}

for (var t = 0; t<8; t++)
{var tit = title.attachMovie("title_"+t, "title_"+t, t);
tit._y = tit._height*t;
var thumb = this["thumb_"+t];
thumb.pos = targetb+(t*-tit._height);

thumb._alpha = 60;

thumb.onPress = function() {
target = this.pos;
targetb = this.pos;
};
thumb.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 30;
};
thumb.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 60;
};
}


this.onEnterFrame = function() {
images._y += (target-images._y)/speed;
title._y += (targetb-title._y)/speed;
};
