Flash Image Rotator Help


Hi, cool forum! I just signed up, am a frequent reader of the posts and stuff though. I need some help, and was wondering if you guys might be able to help me out.

What I'm trying to get done is to make something similar to the rotator on the right here.

I was going to do switch statements for the different versions. something like this...


Code:

var leftCounter:Number = 0;

switch (leftCounter) {

case 1:
//object move left 10 pixels and downscales
break;
case 2:
//object move behind and visible = false;
break;

// .... etc etc.... until it loops around

}
Would anyone know of a better way of doing this?

Here is my current code:


Code:
var xmlPics:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlRequest:URLRequest;
var xmlData:Array = new Array();
var xmlImgHolder:Sprite = new Sprite()

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, getXML, false, 0, true);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, constructPlaceholders, false, 0, true);
btnRollLeft.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onRollLeftClick, false, 0, true);
btnRollRight.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onRollRightClick, false, 0, true);

/* ----------- begin stage on ENTER_FRAME ------------ */
function getXML(e:Event):void {

xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("flashconnect.xml")); // pulls in xml data as text
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLcomplete, false, 0, true);


function onXMLcomplete(e:Event):void {
xmlPics = new XMLList(e.target.data);// converts XML text back into XML
xmlPics = xmlPics.COVER.COVER_FILE_LOC.children();//finds the children of xmlPics.COVER.COVER_FILE_LOC
for (var i:uint = 0; i < xmlPics.length(); i++) {//loads the boxes with images
urlRequest = new URLRequest(xmlPics[i]);
var picLoader:Loader = new Loader();
picLoader.x = picLoader.y = -45;
picLoader.load(urlRequest);
xmlData.push(picLoader);// pushes picLoader into array xmlData
}

xmlLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLcomplete);//removing Listener from memory
}

stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, getXML);
}
function constructPlaceholders(e:Event):void {
createImgHolder();
addImgHolderData();
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, constructPlaceholders);
}

/* ----------- begin button functionality ------------ */

var leftCounter:Number = 0;
var rightCounter:Number = 0;

function onRollLeftClick(e:MouseEvent):void {//Button Left

if (leftCounter == xmlData.length) {
leftCounter = 0;
}
}
function onRollRightClick(e:MouseEvent):void {//Button Right
//blank space for now
}

function rotatePicLeft(leftX:Number, leftY:Number, sclX:Number, sclY:Number):void {
xmlImgHolder.x -= leftX;
xmlImgHolder.y = leftY;
xmlImgHolder.scaleX = sclX;
xmlImgHolder.scaleY = sclY;

}

/* ----------- constructing functions for stage, xml data, etc... ------------ */

function createImgHolder():void {

with (xmlImgHolder.graphics) {
lineStyle(0, 0x000000);
drawRect(225,175,94,120);
}
}

function addImgHolderData():void {
xmlData[0].x = 225;
xmlData[0].y = 175;
xmlImgHolder.addChild(xmlData[0]);
stage.addChild(xmlImgHolder);

}
PS: I am going to change this to OO later after I get it to work. however at this time I'm tasked with getting this up and running....

Flash Image Rotator
Anyone offer any advice on some software that will easily rotate a series of images into flash format? Freeware or up to maybe 100USD.

I used something a couple of years ago that did some great transitional efects and I think it also converted powerpoint presentations.

Any ideas where to start? By the way I do not want to learn how to use Flash!!

AS Image Rotator Help
Hi all, Im wondering if anyone could lend a hand
Im wanting to make a ActionScripted Image rotator that changes image MC from an array randomly after a certain amount of "frames" fade the image out and fade the new image in.
I could do this no sweat on the timeline, but well, AS seems the better route if it can be done.

Thanks to anyone who can share some higher flash knowledge with me

Xml/as2 Image Rotator

Random Image Rotator.
How would I go about having about 6 images on a page load random images at random times. For example, each image would rotate every 20-30 seconds and would rotate to 1 of 18 random images.

I know there is probably an easy sollution to it, and it has probably been done 1000 times, but I cant figure it out.

Image Rotator Issue
I'm working on an image rotator but when it rotates images there is a split second when the images disappears and we see the background before the next image is loaded.

The code for the image rotating function:

Code:
function rotateImages():Void
{
if (imageCounter >= images.length) imageCounter = 0;

trace("Rotating image " + imageCounter);
var loaded:Boolean = loader.loadClip(images[imageCounter], mcImageHolder); // load slide

if (loaded == true)trace("Loading image " + imageCounter);
else trace("Error loading image " + imageCounter);

imageCounter++;
setTimeout(rotateImages, rotationRate * 1000);
}


Any ideas on what I need to do to resolve this issue?

Random Image Or Swf Rotator
I needed this because i didn't want to have to use php. Its basically just a preloader+random number generator. It could be much more advanced if you want to use arrays and stuffz. Its probably pretty messy too. I'll comment it a bit, its using tweenmax. Its commented well you should be able to figure it out, i tried to post the source but all the freaking smilies owned it

Could a mod change this to AS3 tags peeze

MP3 Player With Image Rotator
Hi,

I'm new to flash, very new, about 4 days! My programming experience is solely within php. Firstly these forums and the video tutorials have been amazing! Using them I've managed to create an MP3 player with volume and position scrubber, a dynamic text field for the mix name as well as links to other mixes. All the info is passed from a php generated xml page and works fine in AS2.

But I've realised I need to migrate the project to AS3 to take advantage of the setTimeout method. When a mix loads there should be a series of photos passed to an array. The first photo is displayed for 10 seconds then they change through altering their alpha properties.

I've tried to migrate it to AS3 but it's proving difficult. I know I can't use loadMovie and have to use loaders and that I can't use _global anymore so I've tried to create public static variables in a class. Has anyone got any suggestions on the best way to go about creating this.

Here is the code for the image display (I've omitted the mp3 player code because it's immaterial) and hardcoded the array to reduce the unnecessary code.

var pa:Array = new Array();

pa[0] = "13.jpg";
pa[1] = "14.jpg";
pa[2] = "17.jpg";
pa[3] = "18.jpg";
pa[4] = "19.jpg";
pa[5] = "20.jpg";

_global.image1 = pa[0];
_global.i = 1;
_global.imageone = photo2;
_global.imagetwo = photo1;

loadMovie(image1, imageone);
photo1._alpha = 100;

// Function 1 Loads Next Movie Clip
// Will call function 2 at the end

function oneLoadPhoto() {
loadMovie(pa[i], _global.imagetwo);
_global.imageone._alpha = 100;
_global.imagetwo._alpha = 0;
_global.fadeout = _global.imageone._alpha;
_global.fadein = _global.imagetwo._alpha;
twoDelayBlend();
}

function twoDelayBlend() {
_global.alphaInterval;
_global.alphaInterval = setInterval(alphaChange,0.1);
setTimeout("_global.alphaInterval", 10000);
}

function threeHouseKeeping() {
if (_global.imagetwo == photo1) {
_global.imagetwo = photo2;
_global.imageone = photo1;
} else {
_global.imagetwo = photo1;
_global.imageone = photo2;
}
if (i<pa.length) {
_global.i++;
} else {
_global.i="0";
}
oneLoadPhoto();
}

function alphaChange() {
if (_global.fadeout > 0) {
_global.fadeout += (-0.05);
_global.fadein += (+0.05);
_global.imageone._alpha = _global.fadeout;
_global.imagetwo._alpha = _global.fadein;
} else {
clearInterval(_global.alphaInterval);
unloadMovie(imageone);
threeHouseKeeping();
}
}

oneLoadPhoto();

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!! I'm a flash novice so explain in simple terms!! Thank you in advance.

Can't Find A Simple Image Rotator Tutorial (not Carousel)
Hi,

I need to make a simple movie that rotates through images/swfs, in order, and has a small navigation to select any of the images in the rotator. Probably will only contain 3 - 6 images/swfs at a time. I have come across many pre-made flash image rotators, but I need something a bit more open that I can customize to my liking. I'm not necessarily looking for ease of use or automated. I know enough AS that I understand it, I just need help writing it sometimes. Kinda like when you can read a language, but you're not fluent in writing it. Anyway, I'm not asking for someone to write AS for me, but if anyone has something already on hand that they don't mind sharing or if you know of a tutorial that may help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Flash Ad Rotator With 20 30 Second External SWF's
Hey everyone,

This is my situation:

I have to create a single flash movie, which will load 20 external 30 second SWF's. Each SWF MUST load and play completely. Then, it should be unloaded and the next file will load, play and unload and so on for the 20 files (thus creating a rotating ad)

I came across the MovieClipLoader class and have been trying to figure it out, but haven't been very fortunate. I also tried looking into loadMovie and am just lost at this point with a major headache.

If anyone could give me tips/suggestions or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Flash 8 Xml Rotator.swf And Main Timeline Frame Looping
Hi Y'all -

I have a purchased swf file that randomly rotates images (90 or them) located in an external xml file. It works fine in it's own swf file.

The author suggested dragging the movie clip to the library and to the stage. I did that in frame one, on its own layer of my main swf file, followed by empty keyframes for all other frames in the main swf. That works too, only showing the rotating logos in frame one.

However, the stop(); actions on each of the other frames are ignored, so that going to frame two on the main timeline starts with the proper content and then continues on to the next frame and the next. Without the rotator, buttons control the action and I have no problem.

This link shows the problem -

.http://uniconexed.org/bigflash/unicon-05-17-08-newlook.swf

I've tried attaching the swf file and unloading it, using "create empty movie clip" (my current attempt outlined in the code), and about a half dozen other ways to no avail.

I think I need to kill "play movie" when someone leaves frame one (or enters any other frame) even though not all of the 90 images have displayed. It could be some depth issue, or lock root, I dunno.

To restate, one of two things happen -

1) the scene continues to display the files randomly over top of the content in the other frames (wrong) but the navigation buttons work (correct)

or

2) the random images do not display in the other frames (correct) but the navigation stops at each frame do not work (wrong) - the swf file scrolls through each of the frames, ignoring the stop(); at the top of each frame.

Any help that leads to success would be greatly appreciated.

Dan







Attach Code

//placed in first frame of main timeline -

stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myContent", this.getNextHighestDepth());
myContent._x = 20;
myContent._y = 165;

contentLoader.loadClip("banner_rotator.swf", myContent);

myContent._lockroot = true;

//placed in each of the other frames in the Actions layer of main timeline -

unloadMovie(myContent);

// action script in the banner_rotator.swf file -

//in the first frame (which is loaded only once) we load the image data and setup from an external XML file

//we add members to arrays in the same random sequence we allready created

Content Rotator
I am wanting to add a component to my website like you see in the following websites:

http://www.clevelandbrowns.com
www.thehogs.net/Flash


The auto-rotating news photos that link to articles is what I am interested inb doing. It appears that somehow they have this flash-file pulling content from a database or file on their server. When a new article is written the flash-file pulls the article automatically and puts it into it's own slide and the article is accessible via clicking on the picture or a button. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

XML Banner Rotator
Hi guys,

I will tell you shortly what I want to do. Actually maybe there is a solution already but I could not find it. Please help

1) FLA file which contains several or one command that run/load
swf files listed in XML file.

2) I want XML because it's easier for future editing
3) Is it possible to put link inside that XML file to each swf banner/animation?
4) I want fla file (action script) to play all banners inside XML file one after another

If you heard about something like this or there is anyone who can solve this
or create in 3 minutes.. I appreciate that.

Thanks
mrlame.

XML Ad Rotator Like Target
Hi there -

I've looked at a good number of xml slideshows out there, trying to achieve something just like the Redcard at Target.com where the ads are linkable:

http://redcard.target.com/redcard/pa...=nav2_redcards

Basically, a slideshow with both a timer and a series of 5 numbered buttons that can cycle the slideshow faster, along with a pause..

Here's my attempt based on the slideshow tutorial graciously provided by the Kirupa folks:

(combining the timer one along with the popular xml gallery)

http://www.magicskull.com/shop/

The timer is a little funky when you click the back and forth too fast... all of the clicking seems to add up.

However, this isn't exacly what I'm looking for.

I'd really like to make it so that it doesn't load all of the images at the same time... so that it would stagger each one so it wouldn't be such a huge hit when the thing loads 5 banners.

I can find xml driven slideshows no problem, but most often they don't link or have the "1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5" bit.

I've done the best that I can, and would really rather have one that has the same 5 buttons (1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5), along with a fade transition and a pause button.

I can't be the only one who's needed or build such a thing, can I?

Could this be modified from the xml slideshow here? I've done the best that I can with it.

News Rotator
I was looking for a sample but there I could not find any so I modified the tutorial from here to do up a simple news rotator. It can be seen at http://www.stormberry.tv

However, I saw on this site... http://ouou.com which has a similar news rotator but it has this fanciful random transitions... can someone teach me how to do that? or where to get that script?

Headline Rotator
Hi

I want to make a wrestling website, and I want to create an animated news box, similar to what WWE.com use but just for images, I won't require videos. Or if this can't be done, I wouldn't mind using a graphic rotator, similar to what TNAWrestling.com use (the main graphic under the navigation bar).

I was wondering if anyone has a tutorial of how this can be done, or if you know where I can buy the design from.

Thanks.

Photo Rotator
I've created a simple Flash movie to show 5 or 6 photos in rotation - at http://www.compassion-in-business.co...eld/livery.php
It works well enough but I would like to get rid of the "jump" when it gets back to the beginning. I can post the FLA if needed.
Thanks

Product Rotator With Preloaded Swf's
Hi, I'm kinda new to flash scripting and I have been working on a 360 degree product rotator in flash 8 like shown here:

http://www.dell.com/content/products...en&s=dhs&cs=19

I'm pretty sure they are using a low file size and a regular preloader for the movie. But I have to show a product with high res png's.

I have created one as a full movie with a simple frame slider (36 frames and 36 pngs - one png for each 10 degrees) unfortuantely it is about 1.2 mb.

My question is..If I break my file into 4 separate swfs...Would it be possible to load the 1st swf (with a separate product slider) than preload the other 3 behind it, that way when the slider reaches a certain point...it makes visible the 2nd swf, than 3rd...and so on and on the way back from 360 to 0 it starts at the final frame of the preceding movie.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton,
Mike

Movie Clip Rotator?
Hi all --

I am building a Flash site and need some suggestions for how I should build a certain section. Basically, I have 5 separate movie clips (text and buttons) that I need to fade in and out on the same area of the page. In other words, I'd like each clip to stay on the screen for 10 seconds, then fade to the next clip in the series... basically, a movie clip rotator.

I know I could build this on the timeline, but I'd like to try doing it with script. I can't use the loadMovie function because this is a movie clip that I'd like to load -- it will have some buttons in it, so it can't be a JPG or PNG and I'd like to avoid making a separate SWF for each small clip.

Basically, I'm looking for a way to cycle through my movie clips (or instances, if that makes more sense) with script... every 10 seconds or so. If anyone has any suggestions how to accomplish this with script, I'd appreciate some suggestions.

Thanks!

XML Banner Rotator - Errors
I got this simple XML Banner Rotator from oxylusflash. When I unzipped the XML Banner Rotator, I got the following files:

test folder
..data.xml
..index.swf
..banners
....(.jpg)
....(.jpg)
source folder
..index.fla
..caurina folder
..oxylus folder
....banner folder
......button.as
......image.as
......main.as

I opened the index.fla file (provided by oxylusflash). copied the "banner" movie clip or the frame containing the "banner" to my flash project. My flash movie that will include your XML banner is called carousel.fla

I moved everything so it's in the same folder:

..banners folder
.....jpgs
..button.as
..image.as
..main.as
..carousel.fla
..carousel.swf
..data.xml

Error -- "1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition flash.displayisplayObject.mask in namespace public."

What did I do wrong?

How To Stop Rotator Looping ?
Hi all. I just can't get my brain arond Flash/xml and I have a basic question. I have a Flash picture rotator that works but keeps looping forever. I want it to show each picture once, and then stop.

The rotator comprises three files:
1) index.swf
2) index.html
3) settings.xml

The index.html contains the following:

Code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="100%" height="100%" id="index" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="index.swf" />
<!--<param name="loop" value="false" /> -->
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="index.swf" quality="high" scale="noscale" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="100%" height="100%" name="index" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>


The settings.xml file looks like this:

Code:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<options>

<!-- SET THE NUMBER OF PHOTOS -->

<PHOTOSNUMBER>
<imageName>images/slides/01</imageName>
<imageName>images/slides/02</imageName>
<imageName>images/slides/03</imageName>
</PHOTOSNUMBER>

<TIME>
<!-- CHOOSE THE TIME IN SECONDS A IMAGE STAYS ON SCREEN - DEFAULT IS 5 SECONDS -->
<time>2</time>

<!-- CHOOSE THE ALPHA SPEED -->
<alpha>3</alpha>

<!-- CHOOSE IF TO DISPLAY THE PICTURES IN A RANDOM ORDER -->
<random>false</random>
</TIME>

</options>


I have an FLA for the SWF but have not a clue what to do with it! Anyway, I think it may be something I have to add to the XML?

I tried <param name="loop" value="false" /> in the html but it didn't work.

Anyone know how I can make it show the set of pictures once and then stop?

Thanks

Newbie Question - Would Like To Add Banner Rotator To My Site
Hello:

I would like to add a banner rotator to my site and incorporate several banners to take turns showing. Is there somekind of script that I could just add to my site to make this work? I am not all that familiar with html or flash. I make all changes to my site through Frontpage.

Any suggestions and instructions would be great!

Thanks so much.
