Flash :: Small Bug In Kirupa Gallery Tutorial

Xml Gallery From Kirupa Tutorial
hi all. i've used the tutorial here for the photo gallery with scrolling thumbnail. everything works fine except the thumnails are aaaaaalllll the way to the right. they don't come up where they're supposed to. I'm looking at it and it's not even showing the thumbnails on the site... I don't know what's wrong. They show up on the swf file way to the right but they don't show at all on the site. Can someone tell me what do I need to do to get the thumbnails in place?

Below is the link to the site I'm working on click on "photo gallery"

Kirupa Photo Gallery Tutorial
I used this tutorial (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm)and everything worked great but i also wanted to other images to load in a different loadbox at the same time. (Using the same button) Not being in expert in action script, i duplicated the code, changed all the variable names accordingly but i had a problem. The 2 scripts don't seem to work together. One loads the images properly and the other doen't. If i take 1 off, the other works and vice-versa. I am sure i changed all the variable names but they still conflict somehow.

Any ideas.

Code:

this.pathToPics = "images/";

this.pArray = ["journeys0.jpg", "journeys1.jpg", "journeys2.jpg"];
this.fadeSpeed = 10;
this.pIndex = 0;

loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0], _root.loadbox);
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {
// make sure pIndex falls within pArray.length
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length;
if (this.pIndex<0) {
this.pIndex += this.pArray.length;
}
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() {
if (this.loadbox._alpha>this.fadeSpeed) {
this.loadbox._alpha -= this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.loadPhoto();
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() {
// specify the movieclip to load images into
var p = _root.loadbox;
//------------------------------------------
p._alpha = 0;
p.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[this.pIndex]);
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter;
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
var i, l, t;
l = this.loadbox.getBytesLoaded();
t = this.loadbox.getBytesTotal();
if (t>0 && t == l) {
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
} else {
trace(l/t);
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
if (this.loadbox._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.loadbox._alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.loadbox._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};

//------------------The other loadingbox-------------------

this.pathToPics = "images/";
// fill this array with your pics
this.nArray = ["1of3.swf", "2of3.swf", "3of3.swf"];
this.fadeSpeed2 = 10;
this.nIndex = 0;
// MovieClip methods ----------------------------------
// d=direction; should 1 or -1 but can be any number
//loads an image automatically when you run animation
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.nArray[0], _root.numbox);
MovieClip.prototype.changeNum = function(d2) {
// make sure pIndex falls within pArray.length
this.nIndex = (this.nIndex+d2)%this.nArray.length;
if (this.nIndex<0) {
this.nIndex += this.nArray.length;
}
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut2;
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut2 = function() {
if (this.numbox._alpha>this.fadeSpeed2) {
this.numbox._alpha -= this.fadeSpeed2;
} else {
this.loadNum();
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadNum = function() {
// specify the movieclip to load images into
var num = _root.numbox;
//------------------------------------------
num._alpha = 0;
num.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.nArray[this.nIndex]);
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter2;
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter2 = function() {
var i2, l2, t2;
l2 = this.numbox.getBytesLoaded();
t2 = this.numbox.getBytesTotal();
if (t2>0 && t2 == l2) {
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn2;
} else {
trace(l2/t2);
}
};

XML Gallery - Modified From Kirupa's Tutorial
so i basically just wanted to rip off MX file to create a cool gallery for my site.
I used this tutorial's MX file to start
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20..._slideshow.htm

But i tried to resize the "whiteBox" instance, so that i could use larger pictures.
But there's somthing going on in the tutorial file that i dont understand, it seems to be magnifying all the imagesto about 200% (ish)

Im not sure how to change this, if its in the actionscript, or in the "quality" setting on the image?

Any help would be very much apreciated!
thanks
--Matt--

my FLA file can be downloaded at www.mattwhelan.com/SiteForShow.fla and the xml www.mattwhelan.com/images.xml

Kirupa Xml Photo Gallery Tutorial Help
kirupa's xml photo gallery tutorial worked like a charm, except it lacked solutions to place different photos with different orientations, i used to solve this problem by adding a background in photo shop to unify their dimensions. Now I have to place them on to a transparent flash background, so i can no longer photoshop my photos with a solid color bgd, and as far as i know, flash won't support tif or psd, or any layered formats.

I wonder if someone out there could tell me what to do refencing the kirupa xml photo gallery tutorial?

big thanks.

Kirupa Gallery Tutorial Question
For those who made or have followed this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm

I have a question:

I made the gallery fine, but when i load the whole gallery into my website (dynamically) using loadMovie, the hit_left and hit_right don't seem to work. I have tried to load it into several sites, but hit_left and hit_right just don't work after a loadMovie. They work fine as a standalone html, but not with loadMovie.
Anyone had this problem? I know its a long shot, but hopefully someone has done this tutorial
Thanks a lot! I have been striving with this for a while....
Cheers,
David

Help With XML/Flash Gallery - Kirupa Tutorial
I've been working through this tutorial here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm

Its a nifty little gallery and i'm going to utilise it but i have hit a little stump regarding displaying the images. The images in this tutorial all appear to be 300 x 200. I'm wanting to display (for example) 5 images all of different size. Thing is, if i go into the XML file and change the locations of the images to bigger than that of 300 x 200 then it only displays a fraction of the image i have changed it too.

How can i make it so that the images (varying in widths and height) will all display as their original sizes?

I can paste some AS code if you need to have a look.

P.S - if i adjust the size of the MC that displays the images this seems to display the fraction of the larger image, but at a zoomed in size.

Thanks all.

Image Transition In Kirupa Gallery Tutorial
I worked through the Kirupa Gallery with Thumbnails tutorial. I am a novice, but quick learner. I would like to change the gallery so that when I click on a thumbnail, the large pictures also scroll into place--like this gallery: http://www.digicrafts.com.hk/components/fc_galerie.php

I imagine I have to change both the script that displays the large images, and the the thumbnail portion.

Thanks!

Xml Photo Gallery Loop (using Kirupa Tutorial)
Hi,
I have photo galleries loading via an xml file.
Right now, it stops at the last photo. I would like it to "loop" back to the first photo instead of stopping and vice versa for the previous button.
Here is my code for next and previous buttons.
Thanks!

function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 20;
picture.contentPath = image[p];
picture_num();
if(!auto_dsbl){
slideshow();
}
}
}
}

function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p--;
picture._alpha = 20;
picture.contentPath = image[p];
picture_num();
}

Problems With Tutorial "Photo Gallery Using XML And Flash" On Kirupa.com
Hallo!

I was looking for a tutorial exactly like this one on Kirupa.com:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...otogallery.htm

My problem is that the images can't be loaded.
Flash says that there was a problem opening the URL.

If I change the file-names in the XML-File, the problem appears again.

Maybe another hint:
When I use "Publish Preview", Firefox says that an unsafe action was stopped. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix this.

I use Flash CS3.

Thanks for your help!

Kirupa Tutorial "photo Gallery Using XML And Flash"...align Image Center?
Hi, I have a question about the tutorial for creating a gallery that lets you import images using xml over at Kirupa. TBy default the images load aligned left which isn't all that good for different sized images, I was wondering if there is a way to align the images center when they load? I have to admit my knowledge of flash and actionscript is minimal at best.

I've been searching through the Kirupa forums and have only found one post of use, (couldn't find anything here) and the post contains this...

Quote:

Originally Posted by txfrog1999

you need to determine the width of the image being loaded (I usually add this information to my XML file along with the height of the image) and then use AS to move the mc loading the image along the _x axis to center within the container:

ActionScript Code:
if (img_w[p]<250) {
x_pos = ((250-img_w[p])/2)+10;
picture._x = x_pos;
} else {
picture._x = 10;
}

however I have no idea where in the tutorial AS to put this code and not 100% sure where to put the image dimentions in the xml (I'm just new to xml), would a guess at <image width="356">...</image> be right for a 356px image?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Help With Kirupa.com XML Flash Photo Gallery Kirupa.com Example
Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to highlight the text as the image is visible.

So image 1 fades in Text Highlights > Image 2 fades in Image 1 text fades out to gray and image 2 text fades in to blue...and so on.

It would also be nice so if I click on the description text the associated image to the text would appear again. : )

Here is a link to the working flash files :

Kirupa Tutorial
I've been playing with the flash and XML slide show (http://kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm) tutorial from this site. I have changed it a bit so it uses the loader component to load swfs instead of jpgs into a movie clip. I have my component set to scale the content of the swfs when they are loaded so they completely fit in the 647X80 I am loading them into the loader but its not rescaling them, Any ideas?

Help With A Kirupa Tutorial
I want to alter some code within this tutorial from kirupa:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...dom_motion.htm

I'll only have one movieclip flying around the stage, but I need to restrict it from entering a certain area.

My stage is 600x450 and in the middle of the stage I want to put a text area that is approx 450x250 and I'll populate this with text from xml doc. But basically I don't want my flying object to go into the text area... so it either bounces off of or swerves away from it when it gets near it.

I'll probably make the boundaries larger than the stage so my object flys out of view every now and then.

Here is the code from the above tutorial:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
//data you may want to change
width = 700;
height = 550;
speed = Math.round(Math.random()*2)+1;
//initial positions
x = Math.random()*width;
y = Math.random()*height;
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
x_new = Math.random()*width;
y_new = Math.random()*height;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//x movement
if (x_new>this._x) {
sign_x = 1;
} else {
sign_x = -1;
}
dx = Math.abs(x_new-this._x);
if ((dx>speed) || (dx<-speed)) {
this._x += sign_x*speed;
} else {
x_new = Math.random()*width;
}
//y movement
if (y_new>this._y) {
sign_y = 1;
} else {
sign_y = -1;
}
dy = Math.abs(y_new-this._y);
if ((dy>speed) || (dy<-speed)) {
this._y += sign_y*speed;
} else {
y_new = Math.random()*height;
}
}
I'd really appreciate any help with this.
Thanks
Mark

Kirupa Pop Up Tutorial?
hi, i am trying to use this tutorial

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm

to produce a pop-up window showing a movie called noticeboard.swf
I have managed to achieve this in a test movie by changing one line of code (the target URL) which you can see if you click on the right hand button at this link

www.piscesswimschool.net/cpopup.html

The problem is when i try to use the same button with the same actions applied to it in my actual website...it does nothing at all!!you can see this by going to the "about us" page at
www.piscesswimschool.net/layout1.html

The only difference i can think of is that it is contained in a longer movie and i may not have pasted the actions that appear in frame 1 of the tutorial into the correct frame in the main website. Where should these actions go?? Or is the problem something else??

please help me, im going out of my mind.

Modifying A Kirupa Tutorial
Hi,

Can someone please modify this tutorial (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm) so that it does this:
one of the external swf's has a button in it that loads another external swf in a different area of the stage, so now there would be 2 external swf's displayed on stage. Then, when one of the main buttons is clicked, the exit animation of the 2nd swf is played, then the exit animation of the 1st swf is played, then the new external swf is loaded in the same spot that the 1st one was.

Thanks!

Help Needed On Kirupa Tutorial Re: XML
on the following Link http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flas...ml_as3_pg6.htm
in the section "Filtering Attribute Information"

Kirupa takes you through filtering by the ISBN number, these results include the XML tags as well could anybody advise me how i would eliminate them in this section:

function ParseBooks(bookInput:XML):void {
trace("XML Output");
trace("------------------------");

var authorList:XMLList = bookInput.Book.(@ISBN == "0743203178");
trace(authorList);
}

i beleive its using the .text(); function but i can't find where to put it.

also, in order to load this information into a dynamic text box do i just replace trace with the destination of my text box?

Thanks

Request A Kirupa Tutorial?
How do I contact Kirupa?

I would like to request that kirupa adds a tutorial to his tutorial list. Its a buttons one and is a very nice effect. It can be seen at:

http://www.stellamccartney.com

It's the way the light yellow movieclip glides across the buttons from end to end and the way the text appears underneath.

If you know how I can do a request, please respond.

Thank you.

Kirupa Tutorial Problem?
I have been following claudio's tutorial on creationin a transition and preloader.

However for some reason my movie will not play the "opening" sequence so that the swf file behind the transition is visible.

I've included the file so hopefully someone could help me, please.

One think I have noticed is that the function command looks for "_root.section" and I don;t know if this is action script or if it is looking for a label?

thanks

Does anyone have a clue how I can edit the portfolio, so that I use text instead of thumbnails to list all my entries.

And, another thing. How can I get all entries (text) to be displayed in vertical direction?

Best Regards

Problem With Kirupa Tutorial
Hello

I am trying to make this kirupa tutorial work but am not having any luck

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm

I don't understand why it isn't working (when I run the script I don't see anything. just a blank screen, no pictures are loading. I am not getting an error path when opening the pics so I know that the path is correct)

the only line I changed was this one

Code:
from
this.pArray = ["image0.jpg", "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", "image3.jpg", "image4.jpg", "image5.jpg", "image6.jpg", "image7.jpg", "image8.jpg", "image9.jpg"];

to

this.pArray = ["fruit0.jpg", "fruit1.jpg", "fruit2.jpg", "fruit3.jpg", "fruit4.jpg"];
the pictures in the animation folder are now named fruit0.jpg", "fruit1.jpg", "fruit2.jpg", "fruit3.jpg", "fruit4.jpg

what am I missing?

if I run the script as it is in the zip file(before I make the changes) all works fine.

I am puzzled...
Can anyone help me out?

thank you

bsw
