Video In 3D Carousel

Video Carousel
I have a video carousel that works great. But I'm trying to get the videos once they play through to close automatically back to the carousel. Here's some code I currently have:

ns.onMetaData = function (infoObject:Object) {
_root.videoDuration = infoObject.duration;
_root.mcVideoPlayer.myVideo._visible = true;
};
_root.mcVideoPlayer.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.videoDuration) {
if (ns.time>=_root.videoDuration) {
_root.unReleased_Start;
}
}
};

The unReleased_Start is a function I already use for a close button that works great. What happens right now is the video plays and then just ends but doesn't use the unReleased_Start function to go back to the carousel. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Thanks!

Carousel 3 XML Video
Heh guys,
Has anyone successfully added video links to their carousel?
I've noticed people adding images, using it as a nav for a photo gallery and it's inspired me to do the same but with videos.
I approached this by adding a new field to my XML specifying the FLV url, setup the netstream as usual, added a video component to the stage and setup a new xml node for the video.. i then figured it would be as easy as modifying a copy of the code which loads the content..
i.e. theText.text = t.content;
to specify the stream url to the XML attribute 'video'
but this hasn't worked.

Anyone have any ideas how to dynamically load FLVs through the carousel's XML?
I'd love to be able to use this as an interface for an FLV gallery.. :)

Video Gallery Carousel
I'm working on a project that's already been completed, not by me, except now another operation has to be added. Basically there is carousel that has thumbnails and when you click a thumbnail an external video loads and plays. But when the video is over it just stops and the player doesn't go anywhere. If you click the player however it will go back to the carousel. What it needs to do now though is automatically go back to the carousel when the video is done and I want to use that same function it uses when the player is clicked. Problem is I'm not sure where to start. Any ideas on how to go about this? Thanks!

Carousel & Transparent Video
Hi Friends,

Lee those tutorials are great i m developing my web site with all the stuff i read from the forums i have a slight problem though.
there are few comments i hear from other people. some say the axis of the carousel crooked and the icons are pixelated when they are scaled down.

i m trying to add a transparent video of myself in the center but when i mask the carousel the embeded swf files also get the mask so i was wondering if there was a way to make the icons have alpha 0 when they are back all the way..

here s the link for the regular website
http://www.ermanerkur.com/erman2/index.html

here s the link for the video version which is 9.3mb
http://www.ermanerkur.com/erman2/index2.html

and below is my actionscript

Code:

Ok, So I Was Watching The Carousel Video By Lee
And i was doing it in AS3 along with him. The problem I am having is that when i try adding more instances to the stage, it adds them off stage and just static. Here is my converted code from his:

Code:

var numItems:Number = 5;

//Set up "carousel". If the X and Y radius was same, it would be a  perfect circle
var radiusX:Number =  250;
var radiusY:Number =  75;

//Center points for carousel
var centerX:Number = stage.stageWidth / 2;
var centerY:Number = stage.stageHeight / 2;

//Speed of spin, will be changed during run time by mouse
var speed:Number = 0.05;

for(var i = 0; i < numItems; i++)
{
   //bring in out of libary
   var temp:item = new item();
   
   temp.angle = (i * (Math.PI * 2) / numItems);
   temp.instanceName = "item" + i;
   addChild(temp);
   
   addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);
}



function onEnter(e:Event):void
{
   temp.x = Math.cos(temp.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
   temp.y = Math.sin(temp.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
   
   //Scale in perspective.
   var s:Number = (temp.y / (centerY + radiusY));
   temp.scaleX = temp.scaleY = s * 1;
   temp.angle += speed
 
                     
}

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMoving);

function onMouseMoving(e:MouseEvent)
{
   speed = (temp.mouseX - centerX)/20000;
   trace(speed);

}




Any help getting more than 1 on stage? Also, I couldn't figure out the depth issue in AS3

Video+Masking+Carousel Performance Help
As you have probably guessed the title says it all.

I have a carousel in as3 using classes which currently loads in images from xml
however for my next project I am going to be loading video into each carousel using a netstream.

I also need to mask each video in the carousel I am worried that this combination is going to kill the CPU and performance in general especially on macs

does anyone have any helpful advise or possible solutions to increasing performance?

I cannot drop any method with the accpetion of a different masking solution.

3D Carousel-Instead Of Images Using Video Player
I am really interested in the 3d Carousel. I am excited about it practical uses. With this said I am trying to use the 3D Carousel to have a clickable Video player. Each image on the carousel would be a player. When clicked the player will come to you and play a video or load then play the video.

Does anyone have an idea of where I can start when trying to implement the 3D Carousel Tutorial with videos instead?

Thank you in advance.

Video Carousel With Inserted Movie Trouble Resizing
Hi Everybody
I have successfully implemented the video carousel in one of my sites. The xml file has imagesand the url goes to a youtube video, e.g. see below

<icons>
<icon image="video_2.jpg" tooltip="Peter" link="http://www.youtube.com/v/fbdxQMLy2j8&hl=en&fs=1" />
<icon image="video_3.jpg" tooltip="Peter" link="http://www.youtube.com/v/fbdxQMLy2j8&hl=en&fs=1" />
</icons>

My problem is twofold whenever I click on the image of my video carousel :

1. the movie does not open in a new window even so I have coded this functionality:

function released ()
{
trace ("Link:" + this._parent.link);
getURL (this._parent.link, "_parent");
}


2. the movie displays in the size of my whole browser window even so in my html file I specify the movie size in my object reference, as such:

<object width="425" height="344" >

Could somebody please help me? What am I doing wrong here? I don't know AS at all. I have just donwloaded the code and implemented this in my site. So please be very code specific with your answer .
Many Thanks

Carousel Help
i am creating a Carousel effect (found here: www.gotoandlearn.com), but am not implementing any mouse interaction with it, it is a straight forward loop. i need help in two areas.


Code:
var numOfBalls:Number = 3;
var radiusX:Number = 375;
var radiusY:Number = 100;
var centerX:Number = 400;
var centerY:Number = 400;
var speed:Number = 0.005;

for(var i=0;i<numOfBalls;i++)
{
var t = this.attachMovie("ball_3","b"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfBalls);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}

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


Q1: How would i go about inserting 3 DIFFERENT library objects (ie ball_1, ball_2, ball_3)?

Q2: Is it possble to make the objects pause at the front for a short period of time?

thanks for ANY help i can get on this. i am not a pro-actionscripter by any definition of the word, but i AM learning.

i can attach a sample file if you like.

Could Someone Please Help With Carousel
hey, i have downloaded this free carousel:
http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_056_carousel

i have customized it all fine with the way i would like it,

however, when clicking on a different button to go to a different frame, the initial frame that loads the icons and text in, still shows up on all frames, yet it is only on one frame,

Can anyone help me to unload or remove it so that it only loads once on that frame i put it on>?

im fairly new to flash so sorry if im stupid

thanks heaps,
here is the action script, it's 2.0

Code:
stop();
var total:Number = 6;
var label_list:Array = new Array( "1", "2", "3", "4", "5");
var radiusX:Number = 300;
var radiusY:Number = 70;
var centerX:Number = 400;
var centerY:Number = 110;
var speed:Number = 0.005;
tn_group_mc._visible = false;
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
this._y = centerY + 230;
this._x = centerX - 400;
fm_label._y = centerY + 270;
fm_label._x = centerX - 340;

for( var i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
var t = tn_group_mc.duplicateMovieClip("tn"+i, i);
t.tn_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1); t.tn_shadow_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1);
t.fm_label = label_list[i];

t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/total);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;

t.tn_mc.onRollOver = function()
{
fm_label.text =this._parent.fm_label;
}
t.tn_mc.onRollOut = function()
{
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
}
}
function mover()
{
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s*130;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
}
this.onMouseMove = function()

2D Carousel
Right, I'm needing some help here folks, basically I'm setting up a website and I would like a sliding window effect in flash as part of the navigation in one area.

This is the idea http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx

So far It's nearly working perfectly using some code from another project but it needs tweaked, I've looked Google to see about X/Y coordinates etc but can't find the right code or even know what to look for.

Basically the page consists of 2 arrows one on the right and one on the left, these slide pages from right to left or left to right depending on the arrow clicked. Unfortunately the code I'm using relied on 4 buttons to change the X Coordinates to slide the windows into place under the masked area. I now only have two buttons to do the same job and they only let me go between page 1 & 2, so I don't want to specify coordinates but rather add/subract to/from the current coordinates to get to the next/last window.

Anyone able to help me out or point me towards a tutorial?



Here is the code:

onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
spd = 4;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += (endX-_x)/spd;
_y += (endY-_y)/spd;

_root.leftclick.onRelease = function() {
endX = 0;
endY = 0;
};
_root.rightclick.onRelease = function() {
endX = -800;
endY = 0;
}
}

Thanks in advance

Carousel
I'm working on a simple 3d carousel, reading from an xml file, but i cannot get the text tags that pop above the pictures to rotate with the items in the carousel. I'm following a tutorial based on MX, and believe it might be a problem with the mx.utils.Delegate function that i'm importing. help a brother out...

the function that is not working, as well as the code concerning delegation are bolded below, everything else is functioning properly.

Code:

import mx.utils.Delegate;

var numOfItems:Number = 10;
var radiusX:Number = 250;
var radiusY:Number = 75;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2 - 35
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2
var speed:Number = 0.02;
var perspective:Number = 0;
var home:MovieClip = this;

var tooltip:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("tooltip","tooltip",10000);
tooltip._alpha = 0;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numofItems = nodes.length;

for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2) / numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.tooltext = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.reflection.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.icon.onRollOver = over;
t.icon.onRollOut = out;
}
}

function over()
{
home.tooltip.tipText.text = this._parent.tooltext;
home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y - this._parent._height/2;
home.tooltip.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this.moveTip);
home.tooltip._alpha = 100;
}

function out()
{
delete home.tooltip.onEnterFrame;
home.tooltip._alpha = 0;
}

function moveTip()
{
home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y - this._parent._height/2;
}

xml.load("icons.xml");

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

this.onMouseMove = function() {
speed = (this._xmouse - centerX) /3500;

Carousel
hi all,
I've built up a carousel from Lee's tutorial. What he has done is he's fetching images from an XML file and when you click on a thumbnail it shows up the details.

Instead of this I want to fetching images by passing a query to the swf file.

eg:carousel.swf?pic1=1.jpg&pic2=2.jpg&... and so on. And when you click on a thumbnail instead of showing up the details I want to direct it to it's corresponding page.

Please download the source files.
Dowload the source files

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Regards,
Soulfly

Carousel...
Hi!
I'm trying to make a vertical carousel and another horizontal working at the same time.
I've followed a tutorial on the net and now it works horizontally with this code:

import mx.utils.Delegate;

var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 300;
var radiusY:Number = 50;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;
var speed:Number = 0.05;
var perspective:Number = 50;
var home:MovieClip = this;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function() {
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for (var i = 0; i<numOfItems; i++) {
var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i*((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.r.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
t.icon.onRollOver = over;
t.icon.onRollOut = out;
t.icon.onRelease = released;
}
};

xml.load("icons.xml");

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

this.onMouseMove = function() {
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX)/8000;
};


When I change X and x for Y and y it works on vertical and it's ok.
The problem is that I can't put both of them working together at the same time...what is the problem? I was thinking that probably was because of the var home:MovieClip = this;but I don't know how to solve it.

Thanks a lot.

3D Carousel Bug?
http://www.celestrialrealms.com/indextest.html

The FACTIONS link.

Why's the <item> movieclip appearing for an instant in the upper left?


Code:
var numOfItems:Number = 4;
var radiusX:Number = 210;
var radiusY:Number = 156;
var centerX:Number = 420;
var centerY:Number = 313;
var speed:Number = 0.05;
var perspective:Number = 200;

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

function mover()
{
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s:Number = (this._y - perspective) / (radiusY + centerY-perspective);
this._xscale = this._yscale = this._alpha = s * 100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale)+100);
}
The carousel is an external swf being loading into an empty movieclip.

Help

Carousel
Hello. Im trying to make a carouse for my website, in that carousel i want a picture in the middle and the icons around it to move in a way that they look 3d, meaning they never show the side but only the front. I am using the code from other carousel but that carousel when the icons are in the far right or far left turn and show the sides and look like plain pictures. How can i make them 3d? this is part of the code, i think this is what makes the carousel, i will appreciate a lot your help. Thanks!

// user transforms
if (pressv!=0) {
this.panel+=pressv;
pressv=pressv*.9;
if ((pressv<.2) && (pressv>-.2)) {
pressv=0;
}
}
// 3d transforms
theta+=_parent.speed;
xbit=Math.sin(Math.PI/180 * theta);
ybit=Math.cos(Math.PI/180 * theta);
this._xscale=ybit*this.panel;
this._x=xbit*this.radius;
this._alpha=20+(ybit+1)*50;
this._yscale=this.panel+ybit*1;
stack=Math.round((ybit+1)*radius*.5);
if (stack==100) {
stack=100;
}
this.swapDepths(stack);

Carousel
I have a photo scroller built with CS3 and actionscript. It uses XML to load images for the thumb-scroll portion. I'd like to know if there is a quick fix to make the picstrip seem to a carousel - in other words, the strip would just continue to scroll whether you moused left or right.

Another Carousel
Here
For a client, added distance blur, enhanced reflections, blah etc. Recently updated to use similar code from gotoandlearn, since that carousel was moderately better written than mine *ouch* in some parts, particularly the onEnterFrame model (hence it's about 50% faster too)

Reckon it's too fast? Tell me how badly this needs a stabbin'

PS. It's not actually this size in the clients interface, this merely shows that it's totally vector.

Carousel Help
Hello,
I've been working with the carousel tutorial from gotoAndLearn(). I understand the math after a lot of effort not being a programmer, but I still need help. Instead of the default continuous scrolling of the icons dependent on the mouse position, I want a button navigation system to move through each icon. So the bottom arrow buttons on the attached .fla would navigate and scroll each icon one at a time (each click). Any ideas on how to do this? thanks in advance

Carousel Help
Hello all!

I'm hoping you can help me out. I've done a carousel tutorial and everything is working fine except that I'm playing with the depth. And now one of my movies which is supposed to work, comes out below the other... see here for example go to Articles:

http://www.africandancelady.com

Can anyone help with it and tell me how to make the depht of the object come forward over the other?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Carousel Help
One request, I just want to know how to put an object in the center of this so it truly looks 3D. Right now, I've only figured out how to put the object either in front of or behind the carousel. Any advice would be great, thanks.

As well, if anyone has any input for things to make the carousel more unique, I'm open for suggestions. This script has been making the rounds on the web, it's useful, but I want to push it further. I'm just not very good with AS yet...

AS3 Carousel Help
Hi,

I have been doing the carousel tutorial by Lee Brimelow from gotoAndLearn.com, but have been trying to convert it to AS3.

I have gotten stuck and am hoping someone can help me out.

The problem is I'm trying to place four instances of the clip "item" onto the carousel, four of them are there but they are all in the same position.

you can see the swf and source fla here:
http://www.thelightdivided.co.uk/flash/index.html
http://www.thelightdivided.co.uk/flash/carousel.fla

The code I have so far is:

var numOfItems:Number = 4;
var radiusX:Number = 200;
var radiusY:Number = 50;
var centerX:Number = this.stage.stageWidth / 2;
var centerY:Number = this.stage.stageHeight / 2;
var speed:Number = 0.02;

var t:item;

// attach icons to the stage
for (var i = 0; i < numOfItems; i++) {
t = new item();
t.name = "item_"+i;

// place each item equally around the circle
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2) / numOfItems);
t.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mover);

// add to stage
addChild(t);
}

function mover(evt:Event):void {
this.x = Math.cos(evt.target.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this.y = Math.sin(evt.target.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s:Number = this.y / (centerY + radiusY);
this.scaleY = this.scaleX = s;
evt.target.angle += this.speed;
trace(evt.target.name);
trace(this.x);
}


Many thanks
Chris

Carousel Help
I have used the tutorial from gotoandlearn.com to create a carousel. I have modified it so that it does not spin until the mouse actually moves however its terribly chunk and I have realised that it doesn't really do what I want it to do.

so

I have a circle of items and I want it so they dont move until you click on one of the words it moves to the front in a clock wise motion, im totally lost, here is the action script.

items contains a dynamic textfield with the word in it.


Quote:





var numOfItems:Number = 10;
var radiusX:Number = 232;
var radiusY:Number = 75;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;
var speed:Number = 0.05;
var moving:Boolean = true;
var boxes:Array = new Array();
//math.PI is equal to the radium of 360 degrees devided by the number of items.
for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = this.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = setPos;
boxes.push(t);
t.onRelease = clicked;
}
//cos = angle which presents the ratio of the sides of item x axis
//sin = angle which presents the ratio of the sides of item y axis
function clicked()
{
trace("pos"+this.angle);
}



function stopMoving()
{
moving = false
trace("timer")
clearInterval(stopTimer);
}

function mover()
{
for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
boxes[i].angle += boxes[i]._parent.speed;
}
}

function setPos()
{
if(moving)
{
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s:Number = this._y / (centerY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s *100;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
}
}

this.onMouseMove = function()
{
mover();
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX)/1500;
}

var stopTimer = setInterval(this, stopMoving, 100);

Carousel Help
I am following the tutorials on gotoLearn.com and I need some help loading a large image and transitioning. In the last tutorial I followed I got the small thumb nail image in the carousel to slide off to the left and some text to appear. But now when the thumb nail image slides over I need a larger image to appear. Has anyone worked on this tutorial and might be able to help?

Carousel As2 To As3
hi
first of all i'd like to thank you for all the tutorials i can find here.
lastly i've been playing with your carousel tut and been porting it to as 3. i'm somewhere in the middle of 3rd video and i cant get the animation to work properly erm i think that link will just fit nice you'll see what im talking about.

}

i've tried to make it like tutorial says (i mean adding eventlistener to tween) but that gave me even more glitches and bugs so im stuck now.
thanks in advance

Carousel
Hi!

I have the following alteration made to the carousel:

- inserted a move left and a move right button
- when the buttons are pressed the carousel moves in the respective direction and stops

But when the carousel stops there isn´t an icon in the center.

What can I do so that an icon stops in the center?

All help appreciated. Thank you

Carousel Help
Hi,

I have been doing the carousel tutorial (fantastic by the way )

I am trying to make it so when you click on one of the loaded items you open an swf instead of loading the text into the dynamic text field. I have created a movie clip for the swf to load in called blank. I have also in the xml file made a new attribute called content. Each content attribute opens a different swf file which is written in the xml file like so:

<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="Home" content="Main_win.swf"/>

can someone help me work out how to do this?

Cheers and thanks for taking the time to read this

Carousel
Hi i'm a newb to flash and forums.

I'm trying to followthe great tutorial on the carousel but when i get to test the movie after i have got to the point were i should have one item in the carousel and it should rotate. I get one item in the top left hand corner that does not move.

i am using flash 8

here is my code

var numOfItems:Number = 1;
var radiusX:Number = 250;
var radiusY:Number = 75;
var centreX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centreY:Number = Stage.height/2;
var speed:Number = 0.05;

for (var i = 0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t = this.attachMovie("item1","item1"+i,i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}

function mover()
{
this._x = Math.cos(this.angel)* radiusX + centreX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angel)* radiusY + centreY;
var s:Number = this._y / (centreY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s * 100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
}

hoping that you may help as i'm tearing my hair out!

AS3 Carousel....
I've searched the forums and have found small issues with converting the AS2 carousel to AS3, but haven't found a finished version. Each post handles a separate small issue, not the big picture. I was curious if anyone has a successfully functioning version of the carousel in AS3 they'd be willing to share with the community?

--Thanks to all!

3D Carousel
I've done the 3D Carosel Part 2 tutorial and I want to gotoAndStop(); on a different frame label for each icon click on from a mc on the main stage...any thoughts?

It would also be nice to disable the carousel hot spots and send it behind or _alpha = 0 while the mc in front plays.

Thanks in advance.

Carousel HELP
Ok I am a total newb to flash actions scripting and I probably bit off more that I could chew out the gate. I am attempting to use the carousel tutorial to build an interactive website that allows the user to download PDF Files.

The problem I am having is that I don't know a lot about XML or AS3 so it's all french to me when I try to expand on the tutorial.

I have successfully changed the icons and created the carousel. I have also somewhat (and I am sure I am wrong on how I did this.) been able to add an additional movieClip from the library which has attached to it an additional XML file.

I am pretty sure my problem is I am over thinking this project. I have several XML files in several different folders. I have one flash document with 2 movies. I need help with figureing out what I am doing wrong and or a better way of getting the prject complete with out so many files.

this is the code in the main flash scene.

3d Carousel Help
Hey guys. Well I would not say I am new to Action Script but it has been about a year since I have done any work like this. My issue is I have a client that wants a Carousel effect but they do not want the Carousel to spin all the time. They want to have the carousel only spin when you roll over a item and then stop with that item in the front unless your mouse is over another item. Can some please help. I figured this tutorial would cove that but after building the first peace and watching the last 2 videos I released it did not.

Php To Xml To Carousel
Okay...

I have a php file that outputs 20 users and their avatar as html. I need to output this information as xml instead, so I can then feed it to the carousel. Currently the avatar being referenced in the php is a link to an actual image, so I am a little foggy on how to pass that link into xml and have it displayed as an image inside of flash.

The php code looks like this:

Code:

<?php

defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );

$link = "<img src ="http://www.mysite.com/tn";
$link_gallery = "<img src ="http://www.mysite.com/";
$limit == "20";
$number = " 20";

$query = "SELECT user_id,avatar,hits FROM dbname_comprofiler WHERE avatarapproved=1 AND avatar IS NOT NULL ORDER BY hits DESC LIMIT $number";
$database ->setQuery ($query);
$results =  $database->loadObjectList();

foreach($results as $result){

if(preg_match('/(jpg)/',$result->avatar)){
$query_name = "SELECT id,username FROM dbname_users WHERE id = ".$result->user_id;
$database ->setQuery ($query_name);
$usernames =  $database->loadObjectList();
foreach($usernames as $username){

$profileName = $link.$result->avatar.""border="0" class="select" alt="Top 40"/></a>";}
$profile .= "<a href="index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=".$result->user_id."">$profileName";}
}

echo "<center> <table> $profile </table></center>";

?>

Any help it greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Carousel
Hi...

How can I know the URL of every single image loaded in the Click and Zoom 3D Carousel tutorial?

My idea is not zooming the image but loading a bigger one in a new loader, but how can I know which image is loaded in every loader?

Thank you.

More Q's On The Carousel
first I want to thank you for your help. I have one more question about this carousel. I got everything to work. I got the images to go around an object by making the object a movie clip placing it on the timeline and putting the following code right under the mover function as suggested.

if (this._xscale>=80) {
//mc is the center clip
this._parent.mc.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale)+90);
}

everything worked peaches, except, that the movieclip that I've used to upload my swf's appears now to be under the above movie clip. See example here Please click on the Articles to see a better example of what I'm talking about:

http://www.africandancelady.com

I know it has to do with the depth but I don't know how to go about fixing it or making my swf movie container clip to come forward over the other... any suggestions? I will be eternally grateful.

Carousel
Hi,

I followed the Carousel tutorial up to the third one, and I was thinking, is there any way of doing this same effect but without XML?

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated, since I really don't have time to learn XML at the moment.


Many Thanks.
