Change Images

Change Images With XML
Hi,
I'm looking at this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/exampl...4ASclasses.htm and love the functionality that you get with this. This is really my first time playing with XML data, so please forgive me if this does not make sense. I have a couple of questions. 1- Let's say that I want to have multiple types of documents pull up under this list, so for example some might be an excel document I want to open, or a word doc, powerpoint etc. How would I change the image so that it recognized the file format? 2- Once I have a directory created how do I make each title open up the specific document it references? Thanks for looking and helping me out on this.

Alpha Change Of Big Images
hi

i wanted to make an effect out of 2 alphafading images, one over each other. the images (former jpgs) are relatively large (500x300).
i used intervals to do the fading but it uses so much systemperformance that the whole movie begins to stutter.
is there a way to make this smooth or is it just not possible?

How To Update 3 Images And Have Them Change After 10 Sec ?
basically i am building an html page and want to insert a 400 x 300 pixel area (flash based) with 3 images. The images need to change to another set of 3 after 10 seconds. I want this to be easy to update and add new images to. any suggestions ?

Change Images With Checkbox
I am definitely a Flash newbie with most of my background in programming and design with Visual Basic, so my thinking might be backwards.

What I need to do is change an image based on the checkboxes clicked. The idea would be that I am adding options to the original picture, but in reality I thought it would be easier to just change the image. I have tried changing the image within a symbol and making a symbol invisible to show another beneath it. I am not sure the best way to go about it. Would I have as many symbols as my options? I hope this questioning makes sense.

I really appreciate the advice on this.

Easy Way To Change Images In A Mc?
Hi gang,

I have this mc containing an animation of a symbol.

That symbol is an image made from an imported bitmap.

My client doesn't like the image and I was wondering if there was a way to change the image without having to redo all the amin.

I tried the swap button in the properties dialog box, but I got very strange behavior from flash...

I'm sure there must be a way, any idea how?

Thanks a bunch

Change The Way The Images Are Accessed

as the swf file,

how can I change this to achieve that..I need that to get the prelaoding to work, or work the only way I know how to in the scope of things

footers = 5;
directory = "http://www.pathToImages.com/pic/";
getMe.loadMovie(directory + Math.ceil(Math.random()*footers) + ".jpg");

Need To Externally Change Images In Gallery
Ok, well, on the horizontal image scroller (http://elvalleastronomers.com/scrollerbig.zip) I was so graciously helped with the last time I've posted, I have now been asked to make it so that one can change the images externally. If there were someway I could get each image to actually be a placeholder that references a specific image from say a file on the server that would be cool. I have a gallery I got off flashkit that references images like that via a flah componant, a bunch of actionscript, and an external txt file but it was set up to be alot more dynamic than I need.
Can someone please recomend a tutorial, file, template, and/or script to help me be able to allow me to change the pictures in my scrolling gallery externally?

Drag To Change Images In A Squence
Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me.

I have 16 images that in sequence show a plane rotating 3 dimensionally.

The user needs to be able to rotate/change the images by clicking on the mc and moving their mouse probably up and down as a circular motion to hard to code.

Thanks for any help.

What Is Command To Change Images Used In My Movie?
This is my very first day ever using Flash 8 or any Flash, I know zero but I managed to make a movie of one puppy entering a box and another departing the box. You know how some sites allow you to change the color of the shirt in the photo when shopping? That is what I am doing but the instead of the new image or color appearing in the box when one clicks on their choice, I want to surprise everyone by the "shirt" (actually a puppy) gets up and walks out of the frame to be replaced by new color puppy.

I sell 12 colors so I assume I can write 144 of the same movie using all the different potential color combos of the last one you looked at leaving and the new one you want arriving.. When you click, it picks the right movie and starts it.......but obviously if I knew a command that would swap the images into my *same* movie when one clicks on their choice, that would be a hell of a lot easier! All pups look exactly the same, same frames in movie, all is same but need to change their colors.......Anyone?

Change Text And Images In A Template
I need to make a lot of very similar flash files, but in each one I need to change some text in a few layers, and also change an image. I'm trying to figure out the quickest and easiest way to achieve this.

First the image... is there any way I can just directly swap one image file with another without having to first import the new image, swap the image, then delete the old image (to keep the filesize from growing larger with each one)?

Now for the text, I have a person's name appearing in a number of different places throughout the flash animation. I need to use seperate text objects for each time so that the other text around it will properly reformat itself as the line lengths and stuff change. I have about 10 places where I need to change it each time, so I was trying to find a way that I could just change it in one place and have it change everywhere in the file. I tried using actionscript (which I have almost 0 experience with so far), and I was able to set up a variable in the text layers so that the text in them would change. However when the text layers were inside of a movie clip symbol, it just didn't work anymore. Also the change has to appear in the timeline so I can manually reformat text where needed. Is there anyway to do this?

Making Images Change On A Webpage

Any help most gratefully received

Images Change Color When I Slice Them Out - HELP
I have a PSD file from a designer (I'm the front-end programmer) which I open in Fireworks v 4 (yes, I know, it's an old version). I export an area as a gif and when I then open up that sliced-out image, the color has changed slightly. This particular example is for several navigation tabs which are all 006692 in the original file. When I slice out each tab, they vary in color - some are 006692, some are slightly off, like 066692. I find it very odd that this is happening, and that they wouldn't ALL be the same since I am doing each one of them identically. I have played w/various setting in the Optimization menu, including "Exact" but nothing solves the problem.

Any solutions?

Images/objects Change Based On Time
I am trying to think through this tutorial that allows you to change an imgae based on time:

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ti...-788/index.php

and in particular this code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
daynight = new Date();
dayframe = daynight.getHours()+1;
this.gotoAndStop(dayframe);
}

I'm not really understanding what's happening here. How would I modify this code if I wanted the object to appear for 8 hours, then dissapear for 16 hours?

My goal is to have 3 different objects that appear, each for 8 hours. For this solution, I would have to put the 3 different objects on 3 different layers, each with the proper code, right?

Thanks for the help.

How To Change Height And Width Of Images Loaded Into Movieclips?
Hi,

I've loaded images dynamically into movieclips using .loadMovie();

I need to adjust the height and width of the images after they are loaded, does anyone know the syntax for this?

The images being loaded are 40x40px in dimension, but I want them to display at 20x20px.

I thought I could just do this, but no dice:
menuitem.mc_menuimage._height = 20;
menuitem.mc_menuimage._width = 20;

Modify Carousel -looking To Change Position And Scale Images
Hi,

I watched the first two videos on the carousel and the first one is all I need. I'm not using the mouse function I just need the carousel to rotate to display some images. I would like to have the images scale bigger when they reach the front center position and I would also like to change the images in the back to be alittle lower and the images in the front to be a little higher. I'm stuck on figuring this out. I've pasted the code below. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Code:

var numOfMags:Number = 17;
var radiusX:Number = 450;
var radiusY:Number = 150;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;
var speed:Number = 0.0007;

for(var i=0;i<numOfMags;i++)
{
var t = this.attachMovie("mag"+i,"m"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfMags);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}

function mover()
{
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX -48;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY -120;
var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s*100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
}

//move logo forward so magazines look like they are rotating around it.
logo.swapDepths(150);

Create Simulated 3D Rotating Set Of Images - Change Scale, Depth, And _y Based On _x
Hey everyone:

I'm looking to create a rotating set of images, simulated to look 3D... that can rotate either left or right, reactive to someones mouse location.

The path of the images would look like a flat oval, and as the images came to the forefront, they would be at full scale, have the lowest position (high _y), have the highest depth (appear in front of everything else) and be dead center _x.

As they slide left or right, they would reduce everything by a relative 50% to the final shift (scale, _y, and depth) until they got to the end, moving in an upward arc following the oval path. When they got to the end, and kept rotating beyond (move in the opposite _x. but appear to follow the flow of the arc), continuing to decrease in scale, _y, and depth.

You can think of this as one of those new styled vista or apple effects... a continuing loop that goes in either direction...

I would appreciate any tips... or a point in any direction...

Thanks so much,
Adam

Buttons Change When Clicked.
Ok, I want to make a button that changes when you click it once and goes back when you click it the second time.

-I created an MC which has music, and one button which stops the music. How can i mkae it so when the music is stopped the button is a play button and music plays the button is stop. I know this can be done but im too lazy to figure it out on my own.

Change Out Text On Buttons
Ok I have a movie where the user's have to make choices,

1. there is a window the user chooses the type of glass insert the want in the window there are 30 choices. I am using this code for each choice

on(release){
_root.glassname.text="Clear Water Glass"
_root.stage.attachMovie("clearwaterglass",glass1,5 )
_root.stage.glass1._x=0
_root.stage.glass1._y=0
}
now once the user has made their choice and are happy with it there is a button that ask's if they are finished that takes them to a screen that display's there final image along with a list of all there choices.

now this all works fine... with one exception there are 30 choices each choice the name changes "Clear Water Glass"...."Clear Yellow Glass" ect...... my text box only records the first choice that is made... so if the user picks Clear water glass then changes there mind to Clear Yellow the text box keeps the Clear Water Glass I need for the text box to change when the user changes any sugestions????

Image To Change With Buttons
I have a floor plan and I want my customers to be able to choose the options that are available by checking or clicking a button that will show it on the origanal image.

So if they want to choose more than one option I want them all to show up at the same time or as the click them. And if they decide they don't want an option they can just unclick the button and it will go back.

Can anyone help me? Or even tell me where I can find a tutorial or script on line to do this? I have dream weaver and flash 5.

I attached a sample of what other builders are doing but we don't want the pull down menu we want the buttons that they can pick and choose from.

How To Change 3 Buttons Into 1 Button
Using Flash 5:-

I have 3 layers in a 1 frame movie.

1st layer(buttons) has 4 buttons (stop/play loop1/play loop2/play loop3)
2nd layer(containerMC) has an MC called myLoopMC
3rd layer(actions) has some code

3RD LAYER CODE:-

playing=false;

MYLOOPMC code:-
myLoop=new Sound(myLoopMC);
myLoop.attachSound("loop1");
myLoop2=new Sound(myLoopMC);
myLoop2.attachSound("loop2");
myLoop3=new Sound(myLoopMC);
myLoop3.attachSound("loop3");

STOP BUTTON code:-

on(release){
stopAllSounds();
playing=false;
}

PLAY LOOP 1 BUTTON code:-

on(release){
if (playing !=true){
myLoopMC.myLoop1.start(0,999);
playing=true;
}
}

PLAY LOOP 2 BUTTON code:-

on(release){
if (playing !=true){
myLoopMC.myLoop2.start(0,999);
playing=true;
}
}

PLAY LOOP 3 BUTTON code:-

on(release){
if (playing !=true){
myLoopMC.myLoop3.start(0,999);
playing=true;
}
}

Okay so as you can see my movie has 4 buttons to control 3 loops. One to stop any loop playing and 3 buttons to play it's loop.

However, I don't want 3 play buttons. I want a next/prev button that either skips to the next loop or goes back to the previous loop. I have tried many ways to achieve this but have had no luck. I have searched the movies and tutorials which do go someway to cover this but not totally. Can anyone help me or provide a link that actually explains how to do this.

I have already been to Kenny Bellew and Sonify.org(Remixology) but neither explain how to do prev/next button actionscript.

Looking for any help whatsoever.

Tks

Buttons That Change When Clicked

Buttons That Change Actionscript
Hi
Can I change actionscript code in my movie clip by clicking a button?
i.e. having a button that can physically change the code in another part of my movie?

Thanks.

Buttons That Change Varibles
hello,
i have this code:

createEmptyMovieClip("myClip", 1);
myClip.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
onMouseDown = function () {
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
onMouseMove = function () {
myClip.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
};
};

The following line contains 3 varibles for line thickness, colour and opacity:
myClip.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);

i have created buttons that change these varibles so the user can select diffrent line sizes and colours.
I have a problem though, if a user changes his colour he loses his line thick ness and vice versa. this is becuase the first varible on the colour buttons change the line thickness back, i tried deleting the first set of varibles but then my colour buttons didnt work properly.
I dont know how to get round this problem, im sure its not that hard, can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue please. thank you
