Random Slideshow Using Flash?
Does anybody have a code that will generate random slideshow just like apple computer screensaver but in flash? with the same kind of motion and transitioning?

Adding Fade-in To Xml Random Slideshow Flash
hi guys im working on a random slideshow gallery that uses xml to populate the mc, and it works great, but now i want to add a fade-in effect for each 1 of the pics, or maybe a cross-fade,this is the script i have so far, any help will be appreciated.
Code:
pauseTime = 2000;
xmlImages = new XML();
xmlImages.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlImages.onLoad = loadImages;
xmlImages.load("images.xml");
function loadImages(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlFirstChild = this.firstChild;
imageFileName = [];
totalImages = xmlFirstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<totalImages; i++) {
imageFileName[i] = xmlFirstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].attributes.title;
}
randomImage();
}
}
function randomImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
var ran = Math.round(Math.random() * (totalImages - 1));
picture_mc.loadMovie(imageFileName[ran], 1);
pause();
}
}
function pause() {
myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, pauseTime);
function pause_slideshow() {
clearInterval(myInterval);
randomImage();
}
}

Starting With Random Image: Photo Slideshow Using XML And Flash
i want to strip this down and remove the image counter, description and buttons... which is easy enough.
but i would also like the starting image to be random. i mean, the first image that is loaded is selected randomly from the xml file.
can anyone help me with the real quick? here is the AS
delay = 6000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");
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);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
slideshow();
}
}
}
function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p--;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
function firstImage() {

slideshow();
}
}
function picture_num() {

Random Slideshow
Hey everyone, i am trying to complete a project and the client requested a "random" behavior from the movie, and though i know in my head how i could do it, i have no idea how to translate this to AScript. if anybody can help, it would be awesome.
The main thing I need to do is:
A set of 8 movie clips, on a slideshow sequence. (1,2,3,4...8)
Slideshow will play automatically when the page is loaded.
Slideshow would select a random MC everytime the page is loaded.
All the MCs will be transitioning into each other on the main timeline.
Any ideas on how I could do this?

Random XML Slideshow
It's that time again - I pretend I know what I'm doing when it comes to Actionscript.
Here's a mod to the MM XML slideshow that Mediachrome on were-here came up with:
stop();
slides_xml = new XML();
slides_xml.onLoad = startSlideShow;
slides_xml.load("slides.xml");
slides_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
//
// Show the first slide and intialize variables
function startSlideShow(success) {
if (success == true) {
rootNode = slides_xml.firstChild;
totalSlides = rootNode.childNodes.length;
firstSlideNode = rootNode.firstChild;
currentSlideNode = firstSlideNode;
currentIndex = 1;
updateSlide(firstSlideNode);
}
}
//
// Updates the current slide with new image and text
function updateSlide(newSlideNode) {
imagePath = newSlideNode.attributes.jpegURL;
slideText = newSlideNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
loadMovie(imagePath, targetClip);
}
//
//AutoPlay code
myImg = setInterval(test, 5*1000);
function test() {
if (currentIndex>=totalSlides or nextSlideNode == totalSlides+1) {
currentIndex = 1;
firstSlideNode = rootNode.firstChild;
currentSlideNode = firstSlideNode;
updateSlide(firstSlideNode);
} else {
nextSlideNode = currentSlideNode.nextSibling;
currentIndex++;
updateSlide(nextSlideNode);
currentSlideNode = nextSlideNode;
}
}
Can anyone help me to add a fade effect between each image? Please bear in mind I'm a designer and am more at home with pretty colours and interesting typography.
For some extra points I'd be for ever indebted to the person who could tell me how bring the slides out in a random order. That would blow my mind! I know I need to use Math.random but I don't know how to apply it.
Thanks all.

Random Slideshow
I've gone through the forum over and over again to find a solution to my problem.. and I've come up unlucky. Unless I've overlooked something, in which case I still need help.
I used the tutorial for Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash on the site. I originally used the code for the slideshow, but the need for back, forward, and pause buttons was called for. Then, I needed the slideshow to load the first image randomly from the XML file, which it does. However, I'd like to code it so that it continues in a non-random order from the current picture it is on. Say, if it randomly loads the 8th image in a set of 20, I want the slideshow to continue to image 9 in the xml file, so on and so forth. Is this possible?
Here is my actionscript:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
randomImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");

};
controls.play_btn.onRelease = function() {
myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, delay);

if (p == 0) {
p = total;

controls.next_btn.onRelease = function() {
//nextImage();
if (p == (total-1)) {
p = 0;
firstImage();

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

what i want to do is an automatic slideshow...from the beginning to the end going through all the pics...
the pics are loaded from a folder...they are not in the flash file library

Random Slideshow - No Repeats
Hi People,
I am new to actionscript, but I am fast realising I need to do some serious study to get the hang of all this! I found this slideshow source at www.whatdoiknow.org, and it works perfectly, except that when the slides are set in random (not sequential) they repeat one or two before all the images in the array are shown. Is it possible to make it so that all the images are shown once before there are any repeats?
I would be very grateful for any help you guys can offer! I have attached the fla.
Here is the code:
code:
// **************************
// Crossfading slide show
// Author: Todd Dominey
// http://whatdoiknow.org

// **************************
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below
var randomNum = 0;
var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent container
var container_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 0);
// movie clip containers
container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("loader1_mc", 2);
container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("loader2_mc", 1);
// preload watcher
this.createEmptyMovieClip("watcher_mc", 100);
// load xml

images_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

Random Slideshow Troubles
I am using MX 2004 and having trouble with a banner. I want to randomly load .jpg's from a file - pausing for 5 sec on each pic. I can get one .jpg to load, but it stops after one. Here's is the codes:
var numArray = ["randomPics/01.jpg",
"randomPics/02.jpg",
"randomPics/03.jpg",
"randomPics/04.jpg",
"randomPics/05.jpg",
"randomPics/06.jpg",

"randomPics/08.jpg",
"randomPics/09.jpg",
"randomPics/10.jpg"];
this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip_mc", 2);
function changePic(){
numPic = random(numArray.length);
_root.loadMovie(numArray[numPic], "clip_mc");
}
this.onEnterFrame = function(){

[F8] Script Help Random Slideshow
I am a relative newbie. I have an autoplay random image xml slideshow. The problem is, I don't want the images to repeat until all of them have been shown. I've see posts with some hints about this, something about "shuffle" but I don't know what script or where I should add or change it. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Here's the script:
//: SETUP INITIAL VARIABLES
var oldVar = 0;// keep track of previous random number
var newVar = 0;// used to load the next image
var si = 0;// interval variable
//: GET XML
var my_xml = new XML();// create our xml object
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;// tell object to ignore all the white space in the file
my_xml.onLoad = function (success) {// when load function is called, pass a temp variable
if (success) {// if the temp variable was passed; file was loaded
// now that the xml has loaded successfully
// lets setup our final variables
library = this.firstChild.childNodes;// get all the <jpg> nodes
maxVal = library.length;// max number of fotos
// now that we've retrieve our xml ...
delete my_xml;// delete our xml object
getImage();// load first image
} else {// if the temp variable was not passed; file was not loaded
desc_txt.text = 'Error: XML Not Loaded';// display an errorr message on your text field
}
}
my_xml.load('library.xml');
//: LOAD THE NEXT IAMGE
function getImage() {
newVar = Math.floor(Math.random() * maxVal);// get random number
if (newVar == oldVar) {// if number = old number..
getImage();// get a number
} else {// else
oldVar = newVar;// set old to new number
container_mc.loadMovie (library[newVar].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);// load the next image
container_mc._alpha = 0;// set its alpha to 0
this.onEnterFrame = function () {// create loop
if (container_mc._width > 0) {// check that the image has been loaded
container_mc._x = Stage.width / 2 - container_mc._width / 2;// center movieclips to stage
container_mc._y = Stage.height / 2 - container_mc._height / 2;// center movieclip to stage
container_mc.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;// start fading out
desc_txt.text = library[newVar].firstChild.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeValue;// display the images description
delete this.onEnterFrame;// delete loop
}
}
}
}
//: FADE IN THE CURRENT MOVIECLIP
function fadeIn () {
if (this._alpha <= 100) {// if the movieclips alpha is greater than 0
this._alpha += 5;// reduce alpha by 5
} else {// else
this._alpha = 100;// reduce alpha to 0
delete this.onEnterFrame;// delete handler
si = setInterval(fadeOut, 2000);// after 2 seconds, fade out the movieclip
}
}
//: FADE OUT THE CURRENT MOVIECLIP
function fadeOut () {
clearInterval(si);// clear the interval variable
container_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {// create loop to fade out
if (this._alpha >= 0) {// if the movieclips alpha is greater than 0
this._alpha -= 5;// reduce alpha by 5
} else {// else
this._alpha = 0;// reduce alpha to 0
delete this.onEnterFrame;// delete handler
getImage();// load the next image
}
}
}
Thanks again!

Random Image Slideshow
Hi, I have a project for this company that requires an image slideshow to show 46 images, with small fade cuts separating each image. The way I have set up now, is just spread out on the timeline, and a very simple movie clip. I showed it to the president today, and he wants me the images to be shown at random so that they are not at all in the same sequence every time a visitor views the main page. I've looked at several random number generators and various other randomizers, and nothing appears to be controlled by just time. I found one that works by loading a different image every time the page is refreshed, but what I am looking for is for a new image to appear through a simple fade transition every 45 frames. I know the solution might require some very redundant coding because of the number of images, but i'm willing to make the sacrifice. any help?

XML Random Slideshow W/Captions
Hello,
How would I modify this code to add captions to the images?
ActionScript Code:
new_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc1", 1);
old_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc2", 2);
myarray = [];
//stick names of your clips here
function shuffle() {
return Math.floor(Math.random()*3)-1;
}
for (var i = 1; i<9; i++) {
myarray.push(i+".jpg");
}
trace(myarray);
myarray.sort(shuffle);
trace(myarray);
var c = 0;
function loadSwf(clip) {
clearInterval(mi);
new_mc._alpha = 0;
new_mc.swapDepths(old_mc);
new_mc.loadMovie(clip);
var ctrl = this.createEmptyMovieClip("ctrl", 3);
c++;
c %= myarray.length;
ctrl.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (new_mc._width) {
old_mc._alpha -= 5;
new_mc._alpha += 5;
if (old_mc._alpha<=0 && new_mc._alpha>=100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
trace(new_mc.getDepth());
var myvar = old_mc;
old_mc = new_mc;
new_mc = myvar;
mi = setInterval(startoff, 5000);
}
}
};
}
function startoff() {
//put path to folder here
loadSwf("http://www.domain.com/images/"+myarray[c]);
}

Random Image Slideshow
Hi all, i've been trying to work with this actionscript to make it random and i just can't seem to do it. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
var id, current;
var k = 0, p = 0;
var slide = 1;
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
id = setInterval(preloadPic, 100);
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("assets/flash/splash/images.xml");
function Math.preloadPic()(Math.random()*5) {
clearInterval(id);
var con = picture.duplicateMovieClip("con"+k, 200+k);
con.loadMovie(image[p]);
_root.txt.desc_text_mov.desc_txt.text = description[p];
preloader._visible = 1;
con._alpha = 0;
var temp = picture.createEmptyMovieClip("temp"+k, 99+k);
k++;
temp.onEnterFrame = function() {
var total = con.getBytesTotal();
var loaded = con.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.round(loaded/total*100);
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = percent;
if (con._width) {
preloader._visible = 0;
con.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
_root.txt.gotoAndPlay(2);
if (slide) {
id = setInterval(nextImage, 9000);
}
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
if (this._alpha<100) {
current._alpha -= 10;
this._alpha += 10;
} else {
current._visible = 0;
current = this;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

function nextImage() {

var clip = _root.attachMovie("pic", "pic"+i, i++);
loader.loadMovie(picArray[rndNum]);
trace("picArray.length= "+picArray.length+" picArray[rndNum] = "+picArray[rndNum]);
picArray.splice(rndNum, 1);
if (picArray.length == 0) {

i have found something but I can't implement it to this code...

XML Random Images Slideshow
I've created a flash slideshow with a fade-in fade-out effect that pulls a random image from a file containing a bunch of images from an XML file. This tutorial helped me out a lot.
http://www.webzo.org/tutorials/flash...-slideshow.php
Now what I'm trying to do is create some type of array that would generate those random images but maybe only 10 or so and just play those 10 images so that there aren't any duplicates one after another from pulling a random image from the file every time. Anyway, If anyone knows how this could be done preferably by modifying the code in the above tutorial, that would be awesome.

Random Slideshow But With SWF Files
I'd like to create a slideshow (but with swf files) and have it randomly pick which one will play next once the first one is done - and just have it continously running - and load the swf files into a mc externally.
I hope that makes sense... I'm new to this - so any suggestions, tutorials, or eved actionscript is much appreciated. Thanks.

XML Driven Random Slideshow.
Hi I am new to these forums and to Flash as well, pretty much. This seems to be about the best online community for flash that I have found. This is a great community. I did the Carousel tut, it was a great tutorial and Lee makes everything so easy to understand and grasp. I really like the concept of things being controlled by xml. I am currently working on a project where I would like to have an area where photos randomly fade in, stay for maybe 4 or 5 seconds and fade out to be replaced by a new one. I need no controls, but I would like the flash to call the photos and a caption from the xml file. I have the xml file and an idea of how it should go, but I seem to be stuck at the starting gate. Maybe some of you could offer some insight. I hope this is possible and that it makes sense to all of you. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Random Image In XML Slideshow
I have a (very) basic XML slideshow. The slideshow appears on every page of a 7-page site. Is there a simple way to make the starting picture different on each of the 7 pages, without creating 7 different swfs & xml docs...?
I'm thinking some sort of onLoad get random image, then increment by +1...but if the random image was the seventh of eight images, how would I script it to loop to the beginning six...?
Probably basic, probably been asked before...please just point me in the right direction if this is a redundant question. (I did search first, but didn't find anything...)
Thanks for your time!!

Random Loading Text From XML Slideshow
Hi!
I'm trying to load text into a dynamic text box from an external XML. My XML "test.XML" looks like this:
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<root>
<item>
<author>Namer Last</author>
<content>Blah bla bla bla bla bla.</content>
</item>
</root>
And I have two dynamic text boxes on my stage; one named "author_txt" the other named "content_txt"
Here is AS:
ActionScript Code:
var xmlFlash_xml:XML = new XML();
xmlFlash_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlFlash_xml.onLoad = doit();
function doit(success) {
//onLoad event is triggered when the XML document hasbeen entirely loaded
if (success) {
trace('success');
// success is true if the XMl has been loaded with no errors, and false else
var l = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
// firstChild property represents the rootnode of the XML document, childNodes property returns an array containing the children nodes of the current node. So, l variable holds the number of children of the root node
var c = Math.floor(Math.random()*l);
author_txt.text = this.firstChild.childNodes[c].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
content_txt.text = this.firstChild.childNodes[c].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
else {
trace("fail");
}
};
xmlFlash_xml.load("test.xml");
It fails to load. Any idea why?
Thanks!

Random Movie Slideshow - So Close But Yet So Far...
Hi,
I have a library of about 70 movie clips of company logos that fade in and fade out...I wanted to make a sort of 'random slideshow' of all the move clips, so I went ahead and copied the actionscript code for a timer that would (ideally) delay the time that it takes for the next clip to load.
Problem is, the timer starts up first thing rather than after a clip has played, and the clips then play at the same time.
The actionscript is on frame one of the Flash movie (there are about 70 clips, for the example I'm working on I'm just using 3 to start with):
stop();
function wait() {
for (i=25; i<=27 {
_root.attachMovie("my"+i+"_clip","new"+i+"clip", i);
clearInterval(myTimer);
i++;

Need Random Functionality For An Existing XML Slideshow
Hello,
I was using Emre Biberoglu's excellent slideshow as a base for a slideshow. Worked absolutely great, until my client asked for the slideshow to display the images in random order.
The untouched source is here:
http://www.biberoglu.com/flash/xmlslide/xmlslide.zip
I tried modifying the values that define the current image to something like: (Math.floor(Math.random() * nodeCount); to generate a random number as it is a common technique which worked well for me in the past.
The code is pretty clean, but for some reason, every attempt I made, the image number displayed doesn't match the image shown.
So... just a random function that works, if anybody wants to give it a try.
Cheers

Random Movie Slideshow - So Close But Yet So Far...
Hi,
I have a library of about 70 movie clips of company logos that fade in and fade out...I wanted to make a sort of 'random slideshow' of all the move clips, so I went ahead and copied the actionscript code for a timer that would (ideally) delay the time that it takes for the next clip to load.
Problem is, the timer starts up first thing rather than after a clip has played, and the clips then play at the same time.
The actionscript is on frame one of the Flash movie (there are about 70 clips, for the example I'm working on I'm just using 3 to start with):
stop();
function wait() {
for (i=25; i<=27 {
_root.attachMovie("my"+i+"_clip","new"+i+"clip", i);
clearInterval(myTimer);
i++;
}
}
myTimer = setInterval(wait, 4000);
Are there any suggestions?

Does Anyone Know Of Any Good Random Slideshow Scripts For Flash5?
Hi,
I want to create a slide show of my photographs. I need a script that would import photos randomly every 2 seconds to the main stage from an external folder [photos].
Also when you roll over the current photo it pauses the movie untill you rollout and shows a quick description.
Anyone have any ideas how to do this?
I did try one script that imported single .swf's randomly but there were loading problems on machines with modems and the fotos never appeared.
(There are 200+ fotos, about 15-20k each).
Thanks for your help.

Flash 8 Random Sound, Random Movieclip
Dear people, happy greetings to you all.
I would like to find some way of using a simple variable structure to do 2 things:
Pick and play a random sound from say - a selection of 5 sound files.
Do something similar with movieclips.
If you could show me where some relevant tutorials are that show how to do this or can supply some indicative code I would be most grateful.
many thanks
julie

Photo Slideshow With XML - Image Gap On First Cylce Through Slideshow
Hello,
I am new to this site, and I went through the tutorial on this site, "Photo slideshow using XMl and Flash, " http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20..._slideshow.htm
but I encountered a problem where my images lag the first time they cycle through all the images in the XML file.
The first time the flash page loads and starts the slideshow, I don't want the gap between the transitioning of the images where the movie backgound shows. I think it has something to do with the images loading for the first time, so I tried to load each picture in a different movieclip with an alpha of 0 before the slideshows starts, but it didn't work and there is still the gap between the images the first time the pictures cycle through the slide show.
Please offer any advice on how to stop the image lag the first time the slideshow cycle through all the images in the XML file.

Help With Slideshow In Flash 8.
Hello, one and all
I am new to this community and am posting because I hope you can help me!
I have followed the tutorial called Flash and XML here: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/ on making a slideshow in Flash reading the data (pictures and captions etc) from an XML file, that works fine. What I now want to do is change which slideshow (of a number of different ones, stored in different XML files) is displayed in the "holder" movieclip by clicking on different buttons.
I.e = Click button 1 - Slide show 1 displayed
Click button 2 - Slide show 2 displayed
I thought this would simply be a case of loading in different XML files into my XML variable using the XML.load("") command.
This doesn't seem to work instead of slideshow one replacing slide show 2 I seemingly end up with one longer slideshow with pictures from 1 and 2.
I have tried so many ways of trying to fix this:
Separating the different slideshows to different XML variables and loading each in.
Loading in a Blank XMl document between the changes.
Using the unLoadMovie command on the holder between each change.
None of which have worked I still end up with the same issue. It seems flash has some kind of permenant memory for whats been loaded into the holder Movie clip and I can't seem to blank it and load something new.
Please note I am very new to Flash and still trying to find my feet.
Thanks.

The middle of the page with all the stills from the film...
I have about 40 jpgs hosted on my site, I'd like to know how I can take those pics and using some flash slideshow plugin make them fade in and out over a period of time. Where can I find such a thing? You see it on the web all the time it seems. Something easy to use where I can just put in the link to the file. Where can I find something easy to use like this?

Flash Slideshow Help
I was able to figure out how to control the fade in code for the images in this slideshow script but I can't figure out how to do a fade out. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
Here's the code:
delay = 5000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].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();

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() {

p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {

Flash Slideshow
hello boy's/girl's i followed a tutorial on www.gotoandlearn.com, about a scrolling thumbnailpanel, I made it a mouse sensetive slideshow. How futher you drag the mouse from the center, how faster it's move to that direction, ("left/right"). The problem is if you drag out your mouse of the slideshow, it's still moving with the same speed, to the side it was scrolling. when you dragged out your mouse.
What i want is that if you drag out your mouse, that the slideshow loosing his speed, and after like 3 pictures slowly stops, and not if you drag out your mouse, that the slideshow immediatly stop's.
here is the code, i hope some of you can help me??
ActionScript Code:
stop();
slideshow.onRollOver = slideshowOver;
function slideshowOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollSlideshow;
delete this.onRollOver;
}
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollSlideshow() {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = slideshowOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
if(slideshow._x >= -40) {
slideshow._x = -40;
}
if(slideshow._x <= -2230) {
slideshow._x = -2230;
}
var xdist = _xmouse - 310
slideshow._x += -xdist / 6;

Flash XML Slideshow
I need a fully customizable flash xml slideshow, so that I can change fonts for the captions, put the captions over the pic, change everything I want and put captions, thumbnails in any part of the canvas, and even not show thumbnails if I want.
Any link to a site where I can purchase something like this? In the worst case maybe a tutorial? I'd rather learn to do it myself, but not now cause I'm in a hurry so I want to buy one...
