Flash :: Sliding Slide Show With ActionScript?

Really Sliding Slide Show
Can anyone tell me how this is done, or send me to a tutorial? I would like to use one long horizontal picture where only 800 pixels shows. When the user presses advance, the picture slides to the left 800 (1000?, my choice) pixels to reveal the next segment, and so on. Ease the start and end of each movement. So this is literally a "slide" show. And have a "previous" option to do the same thing backwards.

Slide Show Actionscript
Dears,

I'm trying to build a photo album in Flash5.
I've more than 400 pics I want to display so I guess I have to store them into a seperate database.

I want to use Flash because I want to have the album animated and also I want do some animations - like mouse-overs - on the pictures.

Now I have 2 problems:
1) can anyone help me with ActionSripting for the album itself (is there a script already made for an album)

2) which is the most appropriate database I can use to store my pics and to call them from Flash5

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slide Show Image Dispears 3 Minutes After Slide Show Is Stopped - Why?
I have created a slide show with a stop button. The buttons stops; but after about 3 minutes of being stopped, the image just disappears and all I see is the movie's background. Does anyone know why this is occuring? If so, is there a quick fix for this issue?

PS: I used one of the goToAndPlay Key Frame events built right into my software; I assume it was this (to make movie stop):

Code:
on(release) {
stop();
}

Actionscript For An Image Slide Show
I have a button that when pushed, goes to a frame with a movie clip on that frame called slide show. In this MC, is another MC called slides in which I have 24 images. I'd like the person who will be using this application to have the option of either automating the slide show, or clicking forward and back buttons to get to each image. Can some one tell me what would be the best way to go about doing this? On the auto-play option, I would like each image to rotate every 2-3 seconds(depending on which i like best when is see it). Is there a script that can automatically advance to each frame assuming there is an image on every frame of the MC? Also what is the code for forward and back buttons. Your help is greatly appreciated....btw this will be published as an .EXE file....it's a presentation i'm working on that is due EXTREMELY SOON!

ActionScript Slide Show Woes
I am writing a simple slideshow using ActionScript in Flash MX and everything works great except for something I cannot seem to find a problem in the "swap()" function.

I have been beating my keyboard for hours trying to figure out where I am going wrong here, but it just is not obvious what is wrong (maybe I have been up too long)

How it works...
1. Call "swap()"
2. Load JPEG into "mc1"
3. Increment "idx" or reset it to zero
4. Load JPEG into "mc2"
5. Start fading "mc1"
6. When "mc1._alpha == 0" call "swap()" again to set "mc1" to "mc2" JPEG and advance "mc2" JPEG

Problem...
Occurs in "swap()" function. There is a brief moment where both images disappear completely. Check out the code below and you'll see how I am managing the slides. "mc1" is in a layer above "mc2".

Code:
/* Position movie clips */
mc1._y = -75;
mc1._x = -100;
mc2._y = mc1._y;
mc2._x = mc1._x;

/* Initialize Variables and Settings */
var loc = "http://www.conservancynaturecenter.org/images/uploaded_flash_images/";
var images = new Array(loc+"a1.jpg", loc+"a2.jpg", loc+"a3.jpg", loc+"a4.jpg", loc+"a5.jpg", loc+"a6.jpg");
var idx = Math.floor(Math.random() * images.length);
var swap_interval = 50;

/* Reset Top Image (mc1) when _alpha reaches 0 */
function swap() {
if (fade_interval) clearInterval(fade_interval);
loadMovie(images[idx], mc1);
mc1._alpha = 100;
idx = (idx >= images.length - 1) ? 0 : idx + 1;
loadMovie(images[idx], mc2);
fade_interval = setInterval(fade, swap_interval);
}

/* Fade Foreground Movie (mc1) Out */
function fade() {
if (mc1._alpha > 0) {
mc1._alpha--;
} else {
swap();
}
}

/* Begin Sequence */
swap();

Actionscript Based Slide Show For Flash 5?
Hey there guys...

I'm looking for something that I would think would be fairly simple. I've got 6 images that I need to flip through in a Flash ecard that I'm building.

I do this fairly often and each time until now it's been manual. I'm getting tired of manually setting keyframes for each of these images so what I'd like is to automate this somewhat.

A great way to do it would be to set each image on a keyframe, then code some sort of time function that would jump to the next frame after a preset amount of time had elapsed.

Does anyone have something like this or can you point me in the right direction?

Simple Panning Slide Show Flash Actionscript Help
I'm trying to make a simple panning slide show. Right now I animated the images to pan but now I'm trying to get the movie clip to reset to it original position once its panned all the way across. Here is the action script I'm using to move the movieclip. The way I have it reseting is by clicking but how can I change this to happen when the clip reaches a specific place on the x axis. Here's what I have (My movie clip's instance name is pictures)

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = -1;
this._x += speed;
}
on (release) {
_root.pictures._x = 1383;
}

Why Does Slide Show Image Dispears After 3 Minutes (When Show Is Stopped)
I made a slide show with navigation buttons, but when the slide show is stopped for more then 3 minutes; the image just disappears. Here is the code I am using:

First Actionscript

Code:
loadMovie(""+photo1+"","mc1");
_root.mc1._xscale = 80;
_root.mc1._yscale = 70;
_root.mc1._alpha = 0;
Second Actionscript

Code:
var speed = 5

onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.mc1._alpha += speed
}

Then I tried this; the image did not disappear this way, but the transitional effect did not work.

First Actionscript

Code:
_root.loadMovie(""+photo1+"","mc1");
_root.mc1._xscale = 80;
_root.mc1._yscale = 70;
_root.mc1._alpha = 0;
Second Actionscript

Code:
var speed = 5

onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.mc1._alpha += speed
}
What do I need to do, too make sure image continues to display?

PS: I am sending query string from HTML to Flash to display variables (ie. movie.swf?photo1=mypic.JPG)

[CS3] Slide Out Menu W/ Flash Slide Show
I stumbled across this website and figured you may be able to help me. Since I am the "computer guy" at our church, I have been asked to design a website for them. I know the very basics of website design but figured I'd give flash a try. I have attached what I would like our menu to look like. This was designed in Photoshop as is the rest of the website (not shown). Basically, I want the pictures to become a Flash slideshow and then the menu to slide out to the left when the mouse is over it and whichever word (HOME, ABOUT US, etc) the mouse is over, that word will slide back to the right to the original position. Then, if someone clicks HOME it will go to the Home page and such. I also want the menu to slide back when the mouse is not over it. How in the world do I do this? It's an idea I had in my mind but unfortunately I don't know enough about Flash to do this. If someone can step me through this step-by-step or has any code, that'd be great. Thanks in advance guys!

i tell u shortly.. as u can see there is a dynamic sliding menu in the file.. but its masked. i want that its slide move limited to the masked area. i mean the first box at the left comes to a stop at the left begining of the masked area.. and the last box end of it.. i guess its just needs mathematical formula =]

Sliding, Growing, Stop Shrink And Slide Some More
Hi,

I have file that has a slider. It already moves left and right.

When the x position reaches a specific point it stops. What I want it to do is when it reaches that sepcific point is to stop, which it does, and then scale up, with _xscale and _yscale and stop again. When the user clicks on a different button it shrinks and then goes on sliding left or right and repeats the process. Any help would be great!

This is the code. there are a series of buttons related to the slider. The slider code is at the bottom.

stop();

about_btn.onRelease = function(){
_global.final = 0;
stopAllSounds();
}

services_btn.onRelease = function(){
_global.final = 650;
stopAllSounds();
}

projects_btn.onRelease = function(){
_global.final = 1450;
stopAllSounds();
}

news_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie("pagemarker.jpg", _root.news_mc);
_global.final = 2100;
stopAllSounds();
}

jobs_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie("pagemarker.jpg", _root.jobs_mc);
_global.final = 2800;
stopAllSounds();
}

contact_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie("pagemarker.jpg", _root.contact_mc);
_global.final = 3400;
stopAllSounds();
}

//slider coder is below

menu_mc.slider_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){

//moves slider to the right
if(this._x < final){
this._x += 100;

//the conditional to make the slider stop
if(this._x >= final){
this._x = final;
}

//scaling of slider up--is this even the right spot to put it? How would I
// fix this code?
if(this._x = final._x){
this._xscale = this._xscale + 2;
this._yscale = this._yscale + 2;
}

if (this._xscale==110) // <-- 110 percent!
{
return;
}

//scaling of slider down to 100 and then continue on sliding

//now for the opposite, we add an else if
} else if (final < this._x){
//change this to a -=
this._x -= 100;
//flip the greater than to a less than
if(this._x <= final){
this._x = final;
}
}
}

stop();

Sliding Calendar Won't Slide To Current Month.
I have a scrolling calendar with twelve buttons for each month. When you click on the buttons, the calendar scrolls. However, I want the calendar to scroll to the current month when the movie is played. This is easy for someone that knows anything about "else if" statements. I must be missing something simple, because the calendar won't go beyond the second "else if" statement, and stops on February.

Sliding Menu Script Causing Whole Page To Slide
hey!
in my flash scene i placed the same kind of actionscript used in the Panoroma 360 tutorial. i just wanted to control the one movie clip in the scene with the slide actionscript, and it slides side to side perfectly when i just play the movie in flash player. it's when i put it out on the web that it starts messing up. instead of controlling the one clip, the cursor drags the entire movie around the screen with it. to see what i mean check out http://www.bigmouthpost.com/flashtest.html wait for the main menu, go to the gallery section, and you'll see what i mean. if you'd like to see the code let me know. you can also check out the tutorial i got the code from at virtual-fx in the expert actionscript section.i've also noticed that this tends to happen more often in netscape as opposed to iexplorer. thanks for any help you can give me, if you think more info about the what i did would help then please let me know. i will work with you on this.
My boss is going to eat my head!

How Did They Do It (sliding Photo Show)?
http://www.detremmerie.be/

I'm very impressed by the loading technique: images are obviously loaded on the runtime and they stayed cached so the site works significantly faster if you let it simmer for a while. But what I'm truly transfixed by, is the wipe in/out transition (I figured out colors fade). Is it the bg covering the image from left and right or the image width and x position expanding and contracting (or both)?
Another thing: no matter how far from each other buttons are positions, images seem to be placed next to each other when called (are they in stack on different levels and then buttons just swap their depths as needed?)

Sliding In/sliding Out Images Using Actionscript
I know I should probably know how to do this by know but I'm stuck.
How do I create this effect using Actionscript?

http://synap-sys.com/in_out_slide.html

When a user clicks on button "1" the image slides in from the left. When the user chooses to view image "2" image one slides out of the way and image two then slides in. I would like to do this using Actionscript because there's going to be a bunch of pictures that are part of this slideshow. It's how to tell the Flash player how to slide out the current image and slide in the new image that I'm struggling with. Forgive my lameness.
I'm also trying to do this without dynamically loading each image everytime they click on a button. The reason for this is so all the images load at once, thereby eliminating the delay that would occur as each image loads after a user clicks a button. A fellow Flashkit member(Garbage) suggested I do this using a Library clip (all the images placed on a keyframe of a movieClip that are referenced per button click) but I'm not sure how to do this (goToAndPlay?).
Any help or guidance would be most appreciated.
I've attached the .fla if anybody wants to look at it.
Thanks

Slide Show Of .swf's
Hi,

This might be silly. I have a movie that contains thumbnails (buttons) that call each an .swf movie, that is basically a big photo. This was done with loadMovie, etc.

Now I also need that the big images can be controlled by a forward and back arrows, so this arrows would call in a relative way, the next movie. I have named the swf files consecutive numbering...

http://studiocom.com/scott/work.html

Can I do this? Is it an action script? Does anyone here can help me out?

Thank you!

Is there a way to make a slide show in Flash as you do it in go-live with a next and prev button. I want each photo to load upon request, when either button is pushed. All the photos are located on a server allready! Is there a way to do this? I know that you can make a slideshow within flash but then all the pictures would have to be included in the swf file right? Or is there a way to do it like that in Flash?

Slide Show
First off, I want to say thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem.

I am very new to flash, and I was creating a form of a slideshow. The thing is all the information I have seen on here has been slideshows that have buttons on them, and I want mine to switch an image every second.

The solution I came up with. I inserted the following code on every 12th frame: loadMovieNum("logo.JPG",1); and did this with all the pictures i wanted to load. I am sure there is a better way of doing this. The movie seems a bit choppy with this method. The reason I did this is because I do not want to load all the images becauae they are arounf 30-45 kb a piece and it would take the film forever to load.

Any ideas in how to make this better would be greatly apprciated. Also, I have read the sound tut, but it was still a little fuzzy. I have a 2 meg mp3 i want to play as the slides move, but again is there a way it can play without having to load the whole file first.

I have tried mySound = new Sound();
loadSound = ("music.mp3",true) but it does not seem to work when I put that on the first frame of the main movie.

Slide Show
I'm new and I'm being quite stupid but...

I've created a nice flash intro into the slideshow but as the jpgs load the show goes slower, slower, slower...etc. One fades out, the next fades in...etc. while music plays.

The show will have a minimum of 50 slides and will be put on CD...this is NOT for web use.

Help! And thanks from a good, fast learner.

Help With Slide Show
Hi,

I need some help in creating a slideshow in Flash MX.

I have 200 fotos that I want them to automaticly appear on the screen every 1 second.

I'd like to have all the fotos as external .jpgs or .swfs that are then up loaded, so I'd probably need to pre-load the next image while the previous is showing.

Also I'd like the images to appear in random order, but to be able to control this so that the same image wouldn't appear twice until all the others have been shown.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

And I have searched the tutorials and forums, but there are none that I can find like this, as I don't want to use masks on the images, etc.

Thanks for any help,

Slide Show
hello,

i just started teaching myself flash about 2 weeks ago, and im trying to put together a slideshow of my backpacking trip to europe.

the file size itself is already getting huge - its about 35 mb and im only about 2/3 done (because i put in an mp3 soundtrack and customized intros to each city i visited, not to mention about 300 pictures from 10 different cities), but im going to burn it onto CD to give to friends - so no downloading worries. i am trying to compress the mp3s down further and do what i can to shrink the size.

anyway, i was wondering if anyone could help answer ANY ONE of the following questions for me... (don't have to answer all of em)

so question 1): i know i should have divided the show up into scenes or separate flash files but i only learned how to do that very recently so now the show's timeline is just one jumbled mess that goes up to about 8000 frames. just started teaching myself some actionscript, so i was wondering if a flash file that is about 50 mb plays faster as a single file or one that is divided up into ten 5 mb flash files strung together by actionscript, because at this size, its starting to slow down my computer midway through the movie.

2) I want to add captions to the show for certain pictures, but i want to make them optional to see. so on my main menu page before the show begins, i want the user to be able to select an option to turn captions on/off. does anyone have tips on how to do this?

3) I also need help with a preloader. i want the movie to load onto the viewer's computer so the sound plays smoothly in sync with the pictures. Does a preloader even help in this case if the flash file is already on the harddrive and not being loaded? or is the file size just too big and will slow down any computer with insufficient memory?

if you can help with any of these, please respond. thanks for reading this through.

If you click on the back button or the left photo it, the photos shift right.

I'm trying to create a flash presentation. It has 6 "slides" I need when you click on [1] slide one moves in from right. when you click then on any other slide, the current one slides out and the selected on slides in.

Can anyone suggest the easiest way in flash to get the buttons (1, 2, 3, 4, & 6), when clicked, to make the current slide move out, and the one selected move in?

I had it set up to when clicked, it would go to a frame and play the tween to move the slide off the stage, then at the end of that tween, it would go to a different scene. (ie. scene 2 if slide 2 was selected) It just seems that there should be an easier way to do this.

Thanks.

Slide Show - Help...
hi there,

i am creating a slideshow which consists of 13-16 images that scroll horizontally. when the user rolls over an image the scrolling speed increases and the image moves to the middle of the viewer.

i am close, but am getting an unacceptable result when the image moves to the middle (the image goes mental!).

Click here to view the swf

in brief the movie consists of the following actionscript:

main timeline:
---------------------------------------------
initSpeed = -10;
pieces = 13;
startLoc = 606;

function setSpeed(speed, xStop, stopped) {
imageSpeed = speed;
imageXStop = xStop;
imageStopped = stopped;
}
---------------------------------------------

scrolling mc
---------------------------------------------
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.largePieceWidth = _width/_root.pieces;
_root.largeWidth = _width;
_root.imageSpeed = _root.initSpeed;
endPoint = _root.startLoc - _root.largeWidth + _root.largePieceWidth;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// first determine if mc needs to loop
if (_x <= -15074) {
_x = -7196;
} else {
if (_root.imageStopped == 1) {
if (_x > _root.imageXStop) {
dx = _root.imageSpeed;
_x = _x + dx;
} else if (_x < _root.imageXStop) {
dx = -(_root.imageSpeed);
_x = _x + dx;
} else {
_x = _root.imageXStop;
}
} else {
dx = _root.imageSpeed;
_x = _x + dx;
}
}
}
---------------------------------------------

each image:
---------------------------------------------
on (rollOver, keyPress "<Enter>") {
xStop = 0;
stopped = 1;
_root.setSpeed(-20, xStop, stopped);
_root.mcTextVirtu.gotoandplay("startText");
}
on (rollOut, keyPress "<Enter>") {
xStop = 0;
stopped = 0;
_root.setSpeed(_root.initSpeed, xStop, stopped);
_root.mcTextVirtu.gotoandplay("stopText");
}

sorry for the long post, any help would be MOST greatly appreciated.
