Flash :: Scrolling Picture Reel

Scrolling Picture Reel
Hi I need some help please. I am trying to accomplish a scrolling pic reel exactly like the one on this website http://www.lomamedia.com/V1.html. I want it in a bottom, scrolling continously without any pause or break in between and so far i have came up with this code only

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x += 3
}

If someone knows the correct script please help. I can only use actionscript 1 that is what's compatible with my editor.

Help With Picture Reel
I'm creating a picture show reel. It's very basic, but it's only for learning purposes. As far as I can tell, the Actionscript is correct. It's supposed to show three slides, but instead it's showing four. And the first two are overlapping each other. Can someone take a look at it for me? Thanks. I'll also post the code. It might be fruitless though if not looking at the FLA. It can be obtained from here

center = Stage.width/2;
cellWidth = reel_mc.cell_mc._width;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
leftStop = center-reel_mc._width+cellWidth/2;
rightStop = center-cellWidth/2;
reelSpeed = (_xmouse-center)/10;
reel_mc._x += reelSpeed;
if (reel_mc._xrightStop) {
reel_mc._x = rightStop;
}
};
function NewCell(num, details) {
oldClip = _root.reel_mc.cell_mc;
newClip = oldClip.duplicateMovieClip("cell"+num, num);
newClip._x = num*300;
}

NewCell(1, "");
NewCell(2, "");
NewCell(3, "");

Picture Reel Problem
*~ Made Using : FlashMX ~*

I have just tried to make a flash picture reel that loads up jpg's externaly and shows them in the picture viewer that you can scroll horizontaly (Newbie stuff or what! But that's me newbie ) Anyway when the pictures load up they don't load in the position of placeholder_mc and only one of them actually shows up? I need to know why they wont show in place? If you need to see the file I have ZIP'd it up and attatched it to this post with the pictures to.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I kinda need help A.S.A.P. so if you can be as quick as possible.
Cheers

Flash Picture Reel
I'm a noob at Flash, but I need to make this scrolling-picture movie from a folder of images. There will be no reaction from the mouse; it will just be a picture gallery that scrolls horizontally.

This is what my boss gave me:

Does someone know of a good tutorial I could look at?

Scrolling Reel Problem
I created a continous slide show usind the scrolling reel tuturial. The show works fine, the problem is when I load slideShow.swf into another movie clip in another movie.

I want the slideShow.swf to play when a certain button is pushed. So far in the home timeline on the first frame of the actions layer I have this:

button.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "slideShow.swf") {
_root.section = "slideShow.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}
};

the movie clip that the slideShow.swf is loading into has an instance name of "container."

This is the code on the first line of the slide show

slide_number = 17;

reel_speed = 1;
slide_count = 3;
m1 = _root.content.slide_1;
m2 = _root.content.slide_2;
m1._x = 0;
m1._y = 0;
m2._x = 600;
m2._y = 0;
_root.content.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.content.moveLeft(reel_speed);
};
function moveLeft(nPixels) {
m1._x -= nPixels;
m2._x -= nPixels;
if (m1._x<-600) {
m1 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m1._x = 550;
m1._y = 0

}
if (m2._x<-600) {
m2 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m2._x = 550;
m2._y = 0;
}
}

What I have noticed is the first slide loads corectly, but then the rest don't work. Do I have a wrong path for all of the slides except for slide_1?

Scrolling Picture I Think?
How do you make it seem like a picture is like scrolling to the left.. like at http://www.edgen.com/edgen.html.. see how he has the scrolling background how do you create this effect?

Scrolling Picture

Picture Scrolling
hi.

this is probably a simple thing but i can't think how to do it.

i have a main image (longer than the stage width), also 2 arrow buttons.

Aslong as you have the mouse down on the button the image scrolls in the oposite way.

so if you press the right button down then the image scrolls left along the x axis.

any help on the coding wud be great. thanks

Scrolling Picture
For once, I don't have a problem! I'm looking for a tutorial.

I have a design that shows a window with four arrows on each edge. Inside this window is a map. I would like this map to scroll with the clicking of each arrow.

Ideally, I'd also like to zoom in and out of the picture eventually as well.

I know I've used a tutorial like this to create a GPS demo, but I can't remember where I found that, or the files themselves.

Can anyone help me in finding such a tutorial? My goal is not only to finish this task, but also to show others around me how this is done so they can make the necessary changes themselves (or modify an existing Flash document).

* edit *

I found a nice example here of what I want. A tutorial of this would be great.

Thank you for the help!

Scrolling Picture And Text
Hi,

In HTML it is possible, that I have, for example, a picture on the left side, and on the right side of the picture I have, for example, a description text.
If I now scroll down with the scroll bar, the picture and the text is moving! Simple HTML!!!

OK, can I accomplish this behaviour in flash too??? If yes, how???

Thanks

Mouse Scrolling Picture Box
I want to make an effect for a website and i'm quite stumped how to do it. What i want to do is have a picture in a box, and when the user moves the mouse up, it goes up and vise versa for down. I want this to happen all the time however, not just when the user moves the mouse up or down on the picture box.

If anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial or give me some hints it would be much appreciated! Cheers.

Same with left and right side, so i wonder how to do it?

Scrolling Picture Banner
Help! I've got about 20 pictures that I need to incorporate into a scrolling "banner" across the top of an HTML web page. I started dropping the photos next to each other in Flash MX, but ran out of room on the stage. Now one of the photos at the edge of the stage seems to be stuck-it won't delete or move.

Any suggestions how to create this wide movie?

Thanks!!!

Scrolling Picture Strip
Hello I am new to the forums and would appreciate any help I can get on this subject.

I am trying to make a sort of scrolling picture strip in flash.

Example

The set of pictures just scolls across the screen, but the problem I am having as you can see in the example is the expanded form of the pictures are overlapped by the others.

What I am using in that example is just button symbols with the over state being the larger picture, I have also tried using moveclip buttons with the setDepth command get it to come to the top with no luck.

If you can think of a way to fix this or simply a better way to go about this I would appreciate your input.

edit: using flash 8 pro by the way

Thanks

Scrolling Picture Movie Needing Help
I have a scrolling picture box that scrolls left or right when clicked on the relevant buttons, I am wanting to start it in the middle of the line of all the images in the scrolling picture box movie, so that I can scroll half way left and half way right to see the images as apposed to one long scroll left.

How would I do this considering the scrolling picture box movie starts at the very first image on the left.

Thanks for any help

[F8] Creating Scrolling Picture Gallery
Why isn't this working??? My thumbnails scroll left and right, and when I move my mouse over thumbnail I get a hand cursor, but when I click it the larger image doesnt open. I have my thumbnails in my library as "Thumb1, Thumb2, etc" and my full size images in my library as :Image1, Image2, etc). Hopefully that gives you some background info. I just want this to display my larger image when I click on a thumbnail. Thanks for your help!!!!!

Here's my code:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
var imagesNumber:Number = 9;
for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {
container.attachMovie("thumb"+i,"thumb"+i+"_mc",i) ;
myThumb_mc = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];
myThumb_mc._x = (i-1)*myThumb_mc._width;
myThumb_mc._y = (Stage.height-myThumb_mc._height)/1.1
myThumb_mc.largerImage = i;
myThumb_mc.onRelease = function(){
_root.attachMovie("image"+this.largerImage,"large_ mc",2);
large_mc._x = (Stage.width - large_mc._width)/2;
large_mc._y = (Stage.height - large_mc._height)/2;
large_mc.onRelease = function(){
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
}
container.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += Math.cos((-_root._xmouse/Stage.width)*Math.PI)*15;
if (this._x>0) {
this._x = 0;
}
if (-this._x>(this._width-Stage.width)) {
this._x = -(this._width-Stage.width);
}
};

Scrolling A Really Wide Picture (timeline)
I am making a timeline. I have made it really long, the scene is in the middle, and I want to be able to scroll the timeline both directions, left and right. I have made to buttons, and have made a code that functions. But I believe I need a test that stops the process whenever the user release (let go of) the button. Now it seems like the process is working even when the button is released. It works fine when the user comes to the end of the timeline, then the process stops. But if the user let go of the button in the middle of the timeline, the process is running anyway.
Here is the code ("frem" means forward, "tilbake" means backwards):

stop();

Frem_btn.onPress = function() {
speed = 3;
_root.Tallinjen_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace ("this._x er: " + this._x);
if (this._x > -2180) {
this._x -= _root.speed;
}
else if (this._x < -2180){
stop();
}
Frem_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.speed = 0;
}
}
}

Tilbake_btn.onPress = function() {
speed = 3;
_root.Tallinjen_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._x > -2180 && this._x < 3499) {
this._x += _root.speed;
Tilbake_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.speed = 0;
stop();
}
}
else if (this._x > 3500){
stop();
}
Tilbake_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.speed = 0;
stop();
}
}
}

Portfolio - Scrolling Thumbnails Behind Big Picture....
I've tried to find an answer to my question by searching the web, but with no luck so far...

I'm trying to make a photogallery like the one on http://www.managementartists.com/. I've made the scrolling thumbnails and I've put each picture in a seperate swf file. My problem is that when I'm looking at a big picture (after clicking a thumbnail), I'm still interacting with the scroll.. I've tried hiding it, but it still moves when I move my mouse. How can I make the scroll stand still, when I'm looking at the big pictures. When I close a picture, I want the scroll to stand where I left it.....

Hopefull..... Very hopefull....

A Scrolling Grid For My Picture Gallery
Hi Everybody!

I am an absolute newbie concerning ActionScript. But I have the ambition to create a cool looking and dynamically loading picture gallery with Flash8. Therfore I think a scrolling grid, holding the thumbnails would be fitting. So I went through numerous threads, absorbing all information on this matter. And behold, thanks to stringy et al. I am able now to create dynamically loading thumbnails arranged in a grid and in a scroller respectively. Yet, I haven't so far managed to combine these two approaches into a scrolling grid. As a basis for my trials I have used Kirupa's file modified by stringy (see attached file below). Is there anybody out there who is willing to help me make the thumbnail grid scrolling once you add more thumbnails?

Please accept the best thanks of parttimedevil for your help.

Code Problems Scrolling Picture Bar
I have a scrolling picture bar that is masked on the stage. the problem is that the picutre bar does not stay on the stage and loop.

I have a movie clip in the _root. it is 1520 pixel, double the size of the movie width which is 760.

This is the code on that mc....

onClipEvent(load) {
  nScreenWidth = 450;
  nMaxRate = 15;
  // nPixels determines the speed of the slider movement
  function moveLeft(nPixels) {
     this._x -= nPixels;
     if (this._x < 0-nScreenWidth) {
        this._x = 0;
     }
  }
  function moveRight(nPixels) {
     this._x += nPixels;
     if (this._x > 0) {
        this._x = 0-nScreenWidth;
     }
  }
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
  // move slider with speed dependent on mouse position
  if (_root._xmouse < nScreenWidth/2 && _root._xmouse > 0) {
    moveRight(nMaxRate - _root._xmouse * nMaxRate/(nScreenWidth/2));
  } else {
      if (_root._xmouse > nScreenWidth/2 && _root._xmouse < nScreenWidth) {
        moveLeft(_root._xmouse * nMaxRate/(nScreenWidth/2) - nMaxRate);
      }
  }
}

Scrolling Panel With Dynamic Picture
Hi

I'm trying to make a scrolling panel with dynamic picture in it:
I have two problem
The first, i don't know how to refer to all the item together in order to move all of them together.
Actually, the item are moving but i can move only those that i can see on the screen, not those hidden.

the second, how can i refer to the first and the last files of xml files, because i'm trying to put an if statement to block them like lee has done in his scrolling panel tutorial, by this :

Code:

if(panel._x >= 89) {
   panel._x = 89;
}

if(panel._x <= -751) {
   panel._x = -751;
}

but in my case, it depends of the length of my xml

well, here's my code

Code:

var numOfItems:Number;
var home:MovieClip = this;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function() {
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
t.onRollOver = panelOver;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.holder.onRelease = released;
t._x=-20;
t._y=i*(i+67);
}
}

function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);

function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
   this.onRollOver = panelOver;
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

var ydist = _ymouse-75;
this._y += Math.round(-ydist / 75);
}

xml.load("icons.xml");

thanks for helping

Automatic Vertical Picture Scrolling In A Loop
Hi everyone,

Can someone of you please help with creating a movie clip which scrolls automatically (without mouseover) a large number of pictures (more than 50) vertically and in a loop?

I think that I'll need help with the 2 following things:

1. When I wanted to position the 50+ pictures in my Movie Clip object I encountered the first problem, which is that THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PLACE!!!
->Within an or the Actionscript is it possible to call all my pictures? or how can I make it with such a large number of pictures?

2. I'm new to Actionscripting and don't have knowledge in an other OO-Programming language, so I really don't know how to write that code or to adapt a similar code example? I really wanted to do it by myself, but unfortunately I'm lacking the needed time as the guy I promised to do his site does need his site online asap!!

If you could help in this or any of this, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Get Picture Size Action And Scrolling Actions
Hello,
How could i code the following scenario.

I have a number of images aligned horizontally. They are thumbnail sized. When you click on the of them a white box appears over the other images that is the size of the NON thumbnail sized image. Then a little loading clip plays to load the full image which then appears with a close box. When you click close, it dissapears back to the image line.

Now with the image line to scroll let and right you move a slideable scroller. The images move in the fashion of the artwork in itunes - where the images don't just "stop" they slow down until they stop.

thanks!

Scrolling Line Of Buttons That Effect Stage Picture
It is simple to have stationary buttons that jump to different parts of the timeline to display different arrangements on the stage.

But can I have a line of scrolling buttons that still change what is viewed onstage but keeps the position of the button where it was when it was clicked and the buttons continue moving?

The buttons move across the top of the stage in an endless loop. When one is clicked, a picture changes on the stage but the buttons continue to move as if nothing happened. Is this trivial?

Flash Demo Reel: What's The Best Way To Put This Together?
Hey all,

I'm putting together a demo reel of a variety of Flash projects we've done.

I would like the resulting file to be controllable with a Flash controller, meaning I'd like users to be able to pause it, rewind, fast forward or scrub through it.

I already have a component for the VCR style controller but how would you suggest putting the various pieces together in a way that it will be controllable?

- Should I bring in each of the various Flash movies as a separate scene in an external movie, then export it as a SWF and load it into a holder MC?

- Should I bring each of the various movies into a separate slide? Would slides even work with a controller?

Is there a comletely different way altogether? What do you guys think?
