Cool Image Gallery Effect
I have a thumbnail gallery that opens images of portfolio pieces I have done. When you click on the piece, I want a larger image to appear. And I've seen this done with flash, where the larger image will fill an entire browser. I have built my gallery in html, with the piece in a cell. Can I even have this flash effect if I'm using Dreamweaver? or does the whole site have to be flash? I would love to hear suggestions/ ideas. The site were this will go is:

Thanks in advance.

Cool Photo Gallery

I'm creating a website right now and ii'm working on a photo gallery for it, but i didn't want it to be simple. i would like to know how the designer created the gallery on http://www.bacardilive.com/

A Gallery I Made... Any Cool Ideas?
< REQUIRES FLASH 8 >

Hi,
today I was bored so I decided to code a gallery from scratch, after a few hours of coding i got thit:

http://www.younes-design.com/test/index.html

It's not very smooth or anything, nothing fancy.
For some reason I added some kind of a swap function to swap the images and reorder them the way you want them to be. However, I don't remember why I did it in the first place. Use the little handle on the left side of each picture to swap them.

Does anyone have any cool idea that would use this swapping funtion?

maybe I could use it to change the order of the pictures in the mySQL database. ( swap the pics and hit the "save" buttons ). because some of my customer always want to control the ordering of the pics at any moment.

Any idea would help.

ps: I'm gonna use PHP with this but right now the array of pics is entered in there manually.

phpArray = new Array("j1.JPG","j2.JPG","j3.JPG",...,"j12.JPG");

put your JPGs in a folder called "images" and put the thumbnails in "images/thumb"
obviously, PHP would create thumbs automatically but I'll do that tomorrow.

note: the coding is very messy, sorry about that.

Cool 3D Rotating Picture Gallery Effect
As seen on this site:

http://www.gringo.nu/

Where the video clips/pictures are rotating around the individual.

I've seen a similar effect on other sites, and have been trying to find a tutorial, but can't.

Would someone here be able to help me create this effect?

I would class myself as an intermediate Flash developer.

Thanks,

Cool Image Transition Ideas
HI! I'm looking for creative, cool, yet subtle image transitions from wherever, I don't care. I have 6 images that will transition from one to another, and I don't want to have them just fade in, fade out, etc. Any URL's or tutorials you can suggest I would really appreciate it.

Cool Image Scroller On Snowpatrol.net?
Hi,

Anyone know how to get the scrolling image effect used on snowpatrol.net?

When you click a link such as news or whatever the main background image scrolls through and stops on a different part before the content loads?

Any ideas? - ive tried to find a tutorial or movie on flash kit with no luck

Hope you guys and gals can help me out

Cheers,

Really Cool Image Navigation Anyone Know How It Works?
there is no absolute url, but it is pretty easy to find.

1. go to www.colorsmagazine.com
2. click on archives at the top
3. click on number issue#54 titled "Food"
4. then click on the magazine cover that will appear on the right to bring up that issue's flash site.. you will see what I'm talking about, it is the only element on the page.

How does it work? There is a small square on the left, where you can drag a square to a point of interest on an image, and the image, which takes up the rest of the space follows along.

also, click on the milk dripping from his mouth to activate the other menu.

Thanks!

PS: really good flash stuff on that site, check out the "violence" issue... really cool experimental flash stuff.

This Is A Fix To The Image Gallery Tutorial - Makes It A Fully Dynamic Gallery
After searching and reading a couple of hundred post on the truly GREAT Kirupa image gallery tutorial - and wondering why nobody has written a new tutorial or at least updated the "old" one to avoid overloading the net with flash image gallery questions.

Im trying to create a new thread that will serve as a basic startingpoint for all Kirupa gallery questions. Im no überscripter nor do I know a lot about flash, but with a little common sense and perhaps some help from all of you... oh well - here goes:

Quick Checklist:

If your JPG's wont load - Make sure you don't save them as progressive JPG's, as they wont load in Flash.
If your images dont align to the photo container movieclip it is probably because your registration point of the photo MC is set to center instead of topleft.
Below is the code I have pieced together from different posts on the subject (I would like to credit all the authors, but that would require me reading all the posts again, as I have forgotten where I got them.

It produces a gallery that loads files dynamicaly thru a phpscript and checks for maximum image height/width and scales the images to fit within the photo MC. It also sets the center of the displayed images to a given coordinate (x,y).

All in all this is a install and forget image gallery, where the only maintaining required is uploading new pictures to the image folder.

On the server the file/directory structure is:
gallery swf
filearray.php
images/file_x.jpg
file_y.jpg
etc...

This is the filearray.php - modify this to check for files in the path set in the actionscript line: this.pathToPics = "images/";

PHP Code:

<?php if ($dir = opendir("images")) { while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) { $cont++; if ($file == "." || $file == "..") { } else { $string.= ($file); $string.= "&"; } } closedir($dir); } print($string); ?>

This is the modified actionscript from the original Kirupa gallery script:

ActionScript Code:
// This loads the array created by filearray.php and puts it into pArray lv = new LoadVars(); lv.load("filearray.php"); lv.onData = function(text){ pArray = text.split("&"); for (i=0; i<pArray.length-1; i++) { trace(pArray[i]); } } // variables ------------------------------------------ // put the path to your pics here, include the slashes (ie. "pics/") // leave it blank if they're in the same directory this.pathToPics = "images/"; // fill this array with your pics (set from filearray.php) this.pArray = pArray; this.fadeSpeed = 20; this.pIndex = 0; // MovieClip methods ---------------------------------- // d=direction; should 1 or -1 but can be any number //loads an image automatically when you run animation loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0], _root.photo); // Center the photo at (x,y) the coordinates are set in line 69 MovieClip.prototype.centered = function(x, y) { this._x = x-this._width/2; this._y = y-this._height/2; }; // Makes sure that the image fits within (wMax, hMax) MovieClip.prototype.resize = function(wMax, hMax) { while (this._width>wMax || this._height>hMax) { this._xscale = this._yscale -= 1; } }; // This line sets max width and max height (wMax, hMax) photo.resize(397, 297); MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) { // make sure pIndex falls within pArray.length this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length; if (this.pIndex<0) { this.pIndex += this.pArray.length; } this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut; }; MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() { if (this.photo._alpha>this.fadeSpeed) { this.photo._alpha -= this.fadeSpeed; } else { this.loadPhoto(); } }; MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() { // specify the movieclip to load images into var p = _root.photo; //------------------------------------------ p._alpha = 0; p.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[this.pIndex]); this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter; }; MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() { var i, l, t; l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded(); t = this.photo.getBytesTotal(); if (t>0 && t == l) { this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn; // This line sets the (x,y) center of the image on the stage this.photo.centered(249, 213); } else { trace(l/t); } }; MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() { if (this.photo._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) { this.photo._alpha += this.fadeSpeed; } else { this.photo._alpha = 100; this.onEnterFrame = null; } };

This should do it - the only thing I (think) I need some help with is changing the script to actually load the FIRST image, when the gallery loads. For some reason beyond my knowledge you have to click the next button for a image to load... What part of the script needs to be changed to make sure that a image is loaded on startup???

I hope someone will take the time to help develope this gallery tutorial / help file... It would be great if you added som more steps to the quick checklist... and of course fixed the load image on start problem....

How Do I Make The Cool Image Motion Blur?
Hey guys, i really wanted to know how studios pull off the motion blur effect of images. Heres an example, http://loon140.com/flash.html click any of the menu options and you will see the image zoom in on itself with a bit of motion blur, how the hell do i do this?

thanks,

Movie/anim Gallery? (not Image Gallery)
Ive come across this gallery and preloader

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...7797/index.php

I love the way I can just dump my images in a folder and with a few tweaks it will put these images in the gallery.

What I am looking at is a way to do this with seperate .swf animations.

What I want to be able to do is dump a number of linear animation swf files into a folder, then when I launch the gallery, the first animation plays, and when it reaches the end it automatically plays the next animation in the folder. Then I want the whole thing to loop.

Any ideas?

XML Gallery - Generate XML Path For Image Gallery
I learned from great tutorial of kirupa .
I tried to create own image gallery, now I stay in front of problem.
How can I generate path for my images and thumbnails for XML file.
E.g. I have 110 images paths and 110 thumbnails path.
Manually takes it lot of time , how can I make this code for XML file?

<pic>
<image>images/img/ref/img/img_001.jpg</image>
<thumbnail>images/img/ref/thm/img_001.jpg</thumbnail>
</pic>

next node, next node,
...
last node:

<pic>
<image>images/img/ref/img/img_110.jpg</image>
<thumbnail>images/img/ref/thm/img_110.jpg</thumbnail>
</pic>

Product Gallery, Image Gallery Or Portfolio..
Hi! This is probably insanely much to ask for but I do it anyway This is for us designers that want to learn some action script to help us show some xml driven data in our flash projects.

I’ve been searching the web for tutorials that can help me with a specific project that I want to develop. I’ve found a bounce of things that is close to what I’m looking for but not right on the spot. And I think that there are many out there that are looking for the same tutorial as I am. For me the best way to learn is to deconstruct example files with code hints. So if any of you flash gurus out there could help us with an example .Fla for this project I think many would be very happy!

The project:
I want to create a gallery of “what ever”. It could be a product gallery, image gallery or a portfolio. This can be used for many things. I’ve attached an image (template.jpg) that pretty much explains what I’m looking for. I also included an example of how the xml file could look like.

I think this could be an excellent example for many designers/developers that are new to dealing with xml, images and flash.

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!

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/
ZIP : http://www.hagane.us/as/gallery/gallery.zip

Seeking Flash Image Gallery That Resizes Movie To Fit Image Dimensions
I am looking for a flash gallery that resizes the movie dimensions to fit the width and height of the image in real-time. Alternatively, the movie does not display a background color or border. I've used slideshowpro and it's feasible ...just looking for another suggestion. Prefer xml-based.

How You Guys Make That Cool High-speed Flashing Text Or Image.
You know, those slick flash sites where a text or image appears and flashed on/off several times a second.

Like switching the light on.

Can anyone give me an example using a text or an image and make it flash like crazy?

Thanks for any help you may given.

Image Streching For Unknown Reason In Dynamic Image Gallery
Hi everyone, this is my first time using flash.

I followed a tutorial at http://www.lukamaras.com/tutorials/a...e-gallery.html and everything is working okay, except when I view the big images they are 4x wider than they should be, stretching to the right. I think its a problem with action script maybe because I'm using cs3, and saving the file as flash 8? I'm not sure. I've included the file and the xml/photos it references in case anyone is nice enough to check out my problem.

Actionscript Image Gallery > Updating Thumbnail And Main Image
Hi all,

I'm helping a friend produce a small Flash website. For some artwork/photos.

Basically a strip of thumbnail images at the bottom, clicking a thumbnail will load the (fullsize) image above.

Currently ten thumbnails scroll across.

**The problem**

.. is he wants to be able to drop a thumbnail image and the corresponding fullsize image into a folder on the server. The Movie should then display the latest additions. I can produce a simple slideshow where extra images are loaded at run-time (MX introduced this). But am trying to figure out how to update both the thumbnail strip and the main image.

Any help/pointers greatly appreciated.

XML Gallery: Preload On Current Image/cross-fade Image
Hello,
I am new to action script but I am learning quickly.

I took the following tutorials and made a hybrid:
Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash
Photo Slideshow Using XML and Flash

I redesigned the interface and created this:
http://www.onarresdesign.com/greg/work2.html

Everything works great, but now I want to take it further than the tutorial.
I am trying to make the images cross-fade. I am open to any suggestions and I have tried many techniques with little success.

Here is the closest solution steps I have come up with:

Code:
1) First image preloads (grey background showing)
2) First image loaded into top level MC 1
3) First image fades in
4) First image in top level MC 1 remains visible
5) First image gets loaded into bottom level MC 2 behind current movie clip.
6) Top level MC 1 clears because its preloading next image
Bottom level MC 2 remains visible
7) Preloader shows on top of bottom level MC 2
8) Next image is loaded into top level MC 1
9) Next image fades in (cross-fade effect achieved because previous image is behind it)
10) Next image gets loaded into bottom level MC 2
Repeat process
I can't get the action script to do what I want. I have off set the moveclips to show that the images are loading into both movieclips. I currently have the 'nextImage()' function controlling this so it is understandable the both images are cleared because the function is loading new images into the movie clips at the same time. How do I get one movie clip to remain constant while the other is loading? It seems to be a matter of where the function is placed. Or so I think.

I would appreciate any help I can get on this. If would also appreciate any suggestions for making the code for the control buttons cleaner.

Thank you,
</asla>

Rollover Image Gallery With Swap Image Effect?
I'm trying to do a flash banner like the one from:

http://www.eyeblaster.com/

when you rollover the buttons that say: eyeblaster ACM v2.0, advanced analytics, etc. the nice artistic banner appears. when you are no longer over it, it still stays to that same banner until you rollover the other buttons. so it's like a swap image effect, only in flash.

how would i go about this?

Photo Gallery Rollover Image Image Swap
I am using the XML Photo Gallery with thumbnails, and i have managed to modify it to suit my needs for the most part. However, some of the work i want to use it to display is photo restoration and i would like to be able to rollover the image and have a different image show on rollover. Something like you see here...http://homepage.mac.com/gapodaca/digital/bikini/ only using the XML Photo Gallery.

Any ideas?

Image Gallery... Save Image To Computer?
Hey all,
I just wondered if there was a way to save image files in a dynamic gallery? For example... when an image is displayed, a little save icon appears that allows the user to save the jpeg file to their computer. Thanks!

XML Image Gallery: Replacing Xml To Load New Image Set?
Hi Kirupa crew!

First, big thanks for this great site!

Second, I'm struggling a bit on xml and hoping for a hand. Your xml image gallery is a sweet piece of work, and I would like to be able to add the functionality of being able to load different galleries from a menu without loading a new mc with gallery inside it. I managed to botch the file up pretty good on my own, and was wondering if there is a ready answer nearby.

So I'm thinking have but1, but2 and but3, with a seperate xml file for each. What would you recommend for a smooth way to swap the the xml files to the gallery, and load the first image of the new xml file? Also, can it be done with one big ol' xml file while keeping the galleries seperate? It's not necessary, but could be handy, and save some loading.

It would also be interesting to apply the same principle to the resizing script that Scotty has in that big Resizing thread, just a thought.

Many many thanks!
John

Gallery Image Loading - Getting Image Width..help
Ladies and gents:

having a problem with my code somewhere; I'm stumped. Here's what i'm trying to do:

-When you click on a thumbnail in my gallery a load bar appears that is the width of the loading image
-While the image loads the load bar scales from full width to zero
-Once it finishes loading the image fades in
-Click on a new thumbnail, and the old image fades out, then the scrollbar is supposed to take the width of the NEW image and do the same thing

What is happening is that the scrollbar width does not set itself to the new image size until i click the thumbnail a second time...try this link to see what i mean. it's on the "portfolio" page.

http://www.lewisweb.ws/staging

here's the code:

Code:
//CONSTANTS
frame_x = 387; //the exact x coordinate where the box originates
frame_y = 184; //the exact y coordinate where the box originates
alphaSpeed = 5; //spped at which the pics fade in

//INITIAL SETTINGS
containerMC._alpha = 0;
containerMC._x = frame_x;
containerMC._y = frame_y;

//Fades in a picture loaded externally
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic){
containerMC.fadeOldPic(); //fade out old picture
containerMC._alpha = 0;
this.loadMovie(pic); //load new pic
var loadIsComplete = false; //reset load checker
var w = containerMC._width;
loadBar._width = w; //set loadbar to new movieclip width
loadBar._alpha = 100; //make loadbar opaque
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
var t = containerMC.getBytesTotal(), l = containerMC.getBytesLoaded();
loadIsComplete = (Math.round(l/t) == 1); //check to see if load completed
loadBar._width = w - ((l/t) * w); //sets width of loadbar dynamically
if (loadIsComplete){
containerMC._alpha += alphaSpeed; //if load is complete, fade pic in
}
//if the load is complete and the picture is fully faded in...
if (t != 0 && loadIsComplete && _root.containerMC._alpha == 100){
loadBar._alpha = 0; //make the load bar disappear
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};

//Fades out an old picture...pretty self explanatory
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOldPic = function(){
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
_root.containerMC._alpha -= alphaSpeed;
if (_root.containerMC._alpha == 0){
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};

containerMC.loadPic("portfolio/westin.jpg");
stop();
ANY help will be appreciated!

Kirupa XML Image Gallery - Skip To Image
So I'm having some trouble modifying this script. I have a text box so a user can go to a certain image (In my case page). So if the user type 5 it should go to image 5.

I've tried numerous methods, none of which are working (they work but then my next and previous buttons aren't working properly). I know I need to just get go to the number image in the array but the way the script is set up it seems I would have to change the current position value but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Am I over complicating this?

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;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("xml/config.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)) {

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!!

Image Gallery - Image Width
Hi,

I'm putting an image gallery together with all the pictures at the same _y. Here's my AS code:

a = 1;
pushOverX = 0;
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
while (a<100) {
slider_mc.attachMovie("holder", "holder"+a, a, {_xushOverX, _y:0});
set("slider_mc.holder"+a+".load_var", eval("this.data"+a));
a = a+1;
pushOverX = pushOverX+100;
if (eval("this.data"+a) == undefined) {
break;
}
}
}
};
my_lv.load("load_in/image_data.txt");

All that works fine. However, I would like the images to be placed on the _x axis according to the width of each previous image instead of relying on pushOverX = pushOverX+100;

At the moment, an image is placed every 100px, but if an image is 50, I want the following one to be placed 50px after it and not fixed at every 100px.

Has anybody got an idea?

Thanks

Help- How To Load First Image From XML Image Gallery
Hi-
Help- I'd like to making the first image load onto movie. Attached is the code. Any hints would be awesome.

myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
//portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
spacing = 70;
for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes[i];
thumbHolder = thumbnails.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
thumbHolder._x = i*spacing;
thumbLoader = thumbholder.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_image" , 0);
thumbLoader.loadMovie(picHolder.attributes.appthmb );
thumbHolder.app = picHolder.attributes.app;
thumbHolder.appdesc = picHolder.attributes.appdesc;
thumbHolder.appmain = picHolder.attributes.appmain;
thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {
loader.loadMovie(this.appmain);
app_txt.text = this.app;
appdesc_txt.text = this.appdesc;
};
}
};
myPhoto.load("appphoto.xml");
