Photo Gallerie

Photo Gallerie Suggestions?
I'm designing a portfolio site for a photographer friend of mine. She's gonna need a gallery for her photos. What I'm looking for is something maybe she could update on her own. Is there some XML or actionscript I can use, where all she'd have to do was upload the photos to a certain folder? And the script will automatically format all the photos into the site?

Difficulties With An XML Gallerie In AS3
Hi everybody,

I recently threw myself in this project of making an xml photogallery in AS3.0; I found the basic code on flashmagazine.com and adapted some of it. This gallery first loads a bunch of thumbnails and then when you click on a thumbnails it slides in a big image; when you click on the big image it goes back to the thumbnails etc. But now i'm wondering how i could make arrows on the big images to scroll through them instead of going back every time to the thumbnails gallery?? Any ideas, any one???
it would be great to find this solution and it would help me advancing in my as3.0 learning proces!!

the code's in two files; first the fla and then the external as file:
fla;


ActionScript Code:
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import caurina.transitions.*;
//---------loading the external xml file-------
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("portraits.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var xmlList:XMLList;
myXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,fileLoaded);
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);
//--------holds the paths to the thumbnails-------
var arrayURL:Array = new Array();
//--------holds the paths to the big photos-------
var arrayName:Array = new Array();
//--------holds the thumbnail objects-------
var holderArray:Array = new Array();
//--------represents the number of collumns-------
var nrColumns:uint = 5;
//-------represents the container of our gallery
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(sprite);
var thumb:Thumbnail;
//-------- the thumbnails container-------
var thumbsHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.addChild(thumbsHolder);
//-------- the photoLoader container-------
var loaderHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
loaderHolder.graphics.beginFill(0xffffff,1);
loaderHolder.graphics.drawRect(0,0,900,600);
loaderHolder.graphics.endFill();
loaderHolder.x = 1000;

Help With Gallerie Loading
I have made a gallerie for a Tattoo shop. I made thumbnails that when you scroll over the image the full scaled image apperas next to it. Looks great works great once loaded. Now the problem is the loading, when the images are loding you can see them load. Is there a way to mask them or something like that. I have a link to the page if needed. Thanks

Puzzle: Picture-gallerie Into Sliding Menu?
INTRO:

i wanted to included the .fla so you could see for yourselves...
You can download the .fla in the tutorials of
http://www.kirupa.com/
To make the .fla work: you need to put the pictures (in the attachment) into the libery. Now just adjust in layer 1/frame1/line 11/this.pArray[""]. Insert this .pArray["63.jpg","64.jpg". Now the "picture-viewer should work.
I've put both (slidingmenu and pictureslideshow) on the main stage.

WHAT I WANT TO DO:
I'm trying to put a "picture-slideshow" into one of the squares of a "sliding- menu"

THE PROBLEM:
When, for instance, you push "button1" the "sliding-menu" slides to "square1".
On this "square one" i want to put a "picture-slideshow".

The problem: I've put the "picture-slideshow into the movie "1st". This movie "1st" is a part of movie "clipgénéral". When i do this, the "picture-slideshow" don't function.

I've no clue why it doesn't work, because when i put in another movie like 'drop-down menu' this on the other hand works fine!

any suggestion are very welkom!!!!

Thanks

Roll Over A Small Photo And Above It (or Beside) The Large Photo Is Displayed
Hi All
What is this called: When you roll over a small photo and above it (or beside) the large version of the photo is displayed. I would like to create a photo gallery that works this way. Could someone tell me what this is called? Or better yet, where I can learn how to do this? A free tutorial perhaps?

Loading Next Photo In The Background While View The Current Photo
Is there a way that when you are viewing a photo in the Photo Slide Show using XML > http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20..._slideshow.htm

The next photo in the slide show downloading, and once it has it than triggers to display the photo instead of having the preload bar?


Another cool feature > I created the xml to be dynamic based on the photos within a directory, some slideshows might one have 1 image in the direcotry. Is there away to stop the slideshow if this only one image, and only play the slideshow if there is more than 1 image?

Photo Gallery Tutorial Turned Into Photo Carousel
i've taken the tutorial on this site on how to create an flash photo gallery that loads the content from an xml file. i'd like to alter the output of this fine tutorial and would appreciate any help in doing so.

i would like to create gallery, but instead of only showing one picture at a time, i would like to have a carousel effect where more than one picture is shown at a time, and the buttons control the turn of the carousel. i'm thinking in order to do this i'll need to have the as create a movie clip for each picture (maybe during the for loop). each mc instance would have to have a unique name, and then the buttons could play with the properties of each created mc instance.

here's the code from the tutorial on this. any help would be much appreciated....

Photo Gallery Help - Increase Height Of Main Photo
I have downloaded and walked through the steps in creating the Photo Gallery and have it working properly for my Horizontal shots. However, I am having trouble with displaying my Vertical shots (Height-300 x Width-200). How can I extend the flash in height to display my vertical pics properly?

Also, is there any cody that I can enter between the <Caption> </Caption> that would eliminate any caption being displayed? If it is left blank, it auto inserts undefined.

Thanks!

Photo Gallery - Only Loading Every Other Photo [urgent]
I've made a photo gallery from the MX tutoial, modifying it a bit for my needs. When I was using local images they would load fine and every one of them would display. I altered the XML to load images using URLS and now only every other displays (I've checked the urls are correct) - though because of the sequence I can see every image.

There are 7 images and my prev/next buttons loop, so the sequence I get is...

1,3,5,7,2,4,6

Any ideas?

However I'm looking for a solution to load 2 instead of 1 photo at a time.

current situation:
[photo 1] *next button* [photo 2] *next button* [photo 3] .. etc!

wanted situation:
[photo 1][photo 2] *next button* [photo 3][photo 4] *next button* etc!!

think of it as a magazine!

How to do this? I tried copy-ing stuff in the actionscript layer and start adding 2's on places that were now double...figured i was doing it right but i was wrong, its not working

I really hope someone can help me out, greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot.

Merge Photo Slideshow With Photo Gallery
I am currently working on a website to display photos and have found kirupa's tutorial using the slideshow method very helpful. But I want the added user flexibility to stop the slideshow or skip to another image in the slide-show sequence at any time. So, if you can envision entering the site, a portfolio of images starts to cycle while the user can see what image number he/she is on and skip to or pause the slideshow. I'm not very code savvy and would love some help/ideas where to find help!

Load Photo Fade Last Photo
What I am trying to do is;

When you click to the next photo it keeps the one that is already there till the new one has 100% loaded then it fades the old one down and the new 100% loaded fade up. This way there is never the background color there while the photo is loading. So there is a smooth transition between the loading and the fading of the old and new image.

So I had to make two clips one holding the old photo and the other holding the new photo and toggle between the two to either fade up or fade down.

Here is the code there is two things wrong. One is I want to trigger the fadeIn only when the fadeOut is totally finished this way it looks better. Right now the both do fadeIn and fadeOut together.

Also if you check it on this link you will see that it sometimes has a delay before it fades up the new image. If you don't see it empth cache and play again.

Code: .............

Need Photo To Photo Animation For Header
Hi - I'm new to Flash - just bought CS3 web suite, and the included help files are not helping.
I just need a simple header animation that will display through a group of photos with a fade-in/fade-out between each one.
I have sized my pix to the stage, and have them in the library.

Should they be movie clips or symbols?
How do I get them to do what i want? I have made them into an animation in PS, but the file is clumsy and large-size, or converts to lo-res gif. Figured Flash ought to do this, but i can't figure out how.

much thanks,
autwnd

Help - My Photo Xml Photo Album's On Fire...:)
Hello there,

I have recently completed the tutorial on how to make a slideshow with thumbnails. It is found here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm . I figured this would be a great way to show off a friends photogallery. The site is viewable here: www.prestigeinteractive.com/anneliephotography .

Well I can get it to work, however, when I try to load the swf file into another fla, the paths are messed up. Sadly, I am not good with code, so I am wondering what lines would need to be fixed in order to make this code work?

First I will tell you how I've structured the site.
- I have a swf file that basically loads a bunch of swf files into their appropriate x y coordinates.
- I have buttons that when selected open up external swf files into a movie clip called siteContentPage_mc . (this is where the site's content is loaded)
- On one page that is called portfolio, I want to have my slideshow photogallery page load. I am wondering how I would have to modify the code to make it work in this setting. I know it has to do with paths, but I am not sure which one's need changing. Currently the xml file resides in the folder with the swf files.

Here is the code at this time.

Photo Spacing For XML Photo Gallery
Im new to this forum and Im also fairly new to action script. I have some questions regarding the Photo Gallery using XML and Flash. I'm only using the thumbnail portion of this tutorial. The problem that I'm having is that Im using photos with different widths. When I add these photos into the gallery they either overlap eachother or have very wide gaps in between. I've attached my .fla file and my .xml file. PLEASE HELP. Im pretty sure the problem is my action script but I dont know where to go. Thanks.

I didn't know where to post this so its probably in the wrong place but here goes:

Is there anywhere i can get good professional looking photo's of business people for a business website such as the one of the lady at http://www.chameleondata.com/siteindex.html I know you probably have to pay for that and if so which are the best sites for stock photos?

Get Photo?
Ok, what I want is quite simple...

I want a flash movie that is 134 x 134, which has some kind of actionscript so that when a member of my site uploads a photo to a directory (I.E /photos) the flash movie will take the pictures that are in that directory and randomly slide show them and resize them to fit in view.

Anyone know how I can do this??

Thank you

Xml Photo 2
Thanks God I found "XML Slideshow/PhotoGallery - Hyperlinking Each Image" Kirupa's modification.

Now I am trying to solve another problem. I want to open each time a blank window with a specific size and no toolbars. It would be nice if every picture is loading in one and only .html page.

I also found that script:

for index.html

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function spawnWindow(URL,Name,features) {
window.open(URL,Name,features);
}
//-->
</script>

for the .fla.

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:spawnWindow('theonlyone.html',' popup','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=n o,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=800,height=600 ')");
}

Thanks a lot!!!!

Since we used a digital camera i got em all on my comp, but i'd like to know how to do a few things. Is flash the best tool to use for this? I was thinking to have a few section for the differents places, Grand Canyon etc. in each section i'd like to create some thumbnails and you can enlarge the picture, how would i do this? Thanks alot.

Photo Importing Help
Hello,
I need to import alot of photos to a flash movie(for a clothing line). I have a main time line and then import movies for the different sections. (I am not much of a programmer but know some basics.) What would be the best solution for this? Should I load the pics as individual movies to the movie which loads into the main time line? My concern is not to have preloaders that last a life time. Is there a better way.(exporting to flash 5 working in mx)
Slow and crazy,
Nina

Help: Photo Gallery
Hi guys,

I'm a big newbie to Flash, but I've tried it once or twice and I get the general concept of the program, so that's about it. Today, I'm here to seek some expert help.

Recently, I suggested to my friend that at his wedding he should give away cd-roms with studio taken pictures of him and his wife. The general idea I had in my head was just a simple picture gallery with maybe a nice background and music playing (to make it even more slick, the music should be selectable from a list, or at least have foward and back functions). The gallery should be pretty simple ie. the pictures could be scrolled through by using foward and back buttons or by selecting a thumbnail. And seeing that I'm his best buddy and all, he enlisted me to take care of this job. Lucky me .

I don't know much about Flash, and basically the only idea I have is to embed the swf file into a webpage and just let it go from there. Just thinking generally in terms of the use of file directories and file accessing commands (although I can't say I know any) it seems simple enough, but in my dire attempts to "wing it" so far I haven't able to figure out much yet.

ANY help, suggestions or feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks!!

Photo Optimizing
ok this is my issue. I am creating a flash movie that has some jpg photos in it that I took with a digital camera. The camera is ok so I have to get the photos and edit them in fireworks. I am then saving them to a folder and importing them into the flash library. I then place them in the movie test and the movie looks great. Now when I save the swf and import it into an html page in ultradev and view the movie in the browser the photos come out really blurry and choppy. Should I optimize the photos any other way in flash? Has anyone had this issue?

XML Photo Gallery - How?
Hi Guys I'm pretty new to this so plz be gentle! Okay I would like to make a site a little similar to the following...

http://www.simonladefoged.com

Yet what I would like to do is have the 'gallery' images being displayed via xml (therefore I could just add new images at say 320x320 anytime to the image folder and update the xml file and the site would be updated?)

My problem is that I don’t know how to incorporate the xml into flash and would like to still use an alpha transition effect between the images and I don't know how this can be done?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Devs.

P.S. If anyone knows of any fla’s or components that do a similar thing could they plz let me know about them? I’ve found this one yet its not quite right ;(

Photo Quality
Can anyone help? I am developing a photography website and "on screen" image quality is a MUST!!!

I am using Lossless/PNG compression and the dimensions of the files are set prior to importing into Flash MX. Bandwith profiler reads 30seconds for preload (56k) I am doing short "fade up" movies.( 15 frames each)

I have seen some great sites with HIGH quality images that seem to load faster. for example check out www.amandamarsalis.com

Is there anything else I can do to keep the quality and decrease the load time.

Photo Quality
Dear Friends,
I have designed a flash site for a photographer and all but one of the photos look bad. In another site the quality of the pictures might be acceptable, but this is the guys life's work. The images are JPEGs created in photoshop at 72dpi and optimized in ImageReady. I unfortunately do not know why the one photo looks so good. It is an 80K JPEG like the rest. The one good picture is the last photo in the International section. Any thoughts?

Another probolem is a set of buttons that fades in using brightness. When it gets near the end of the tween, it jumps. How do you fix it?

Thanks,
Dan
