Advanced News Banner

AS3 – Flash CS3 file

||| New installation method can be found here because of some bugs with the Internet Explorer browsers |||

Features: 

- auto resizable - very easy to change the size
- xml feed
- cool mini preview for other news on button rollover
- loop stops on rollOver and starts again on mouse rollOut
- auto resize system for images (the banner will resize your
images to fill their place.. but it's a good practice to use a size close to banners size
- news are loaded in the banner sequentially so the user can
see the news as the images from them are loaded... (not a big nasty loading at

beginning)
- smooth animation using the Tweener animation class
- easy configuration of the flash file from the html
- copyright message on right-click  menu
- and other things that I forget to mention :P

Settings from html for the flash file: 

- xml source file
- max articles to show in the banner
- open link in the same page or new window
- enable/disable the flash to cache the xml file
- loop speed between news
- fade speed for images
- delay for the panel with news title & info
- news title font size
- news info font size
- max characters in news title
- max characters in news info text
- news button size and color for selected and unselected state

Heh, glad you make it…
But, watch out… you didn’t embed the font… but in this case if a user does not have the Georgia font on his computer… things can get ugly :).

Nope. I already answered that question. Does not load swf files.
What position? Now the banner calculates the position by using the banner height and the text height. Align to bottom. Some actionscript and math is required for you for change to be made. I guess :)

Wickedpixel: I changed the font, but the spacing is now off (the title butts up against the top of the gray box). Tried going into the “news info panel” in the Library to move it, but it didn’t take. Any way to move the title down?

Hi dfalzoi,
to change the text position( y coordinate ) you can edit some lines in the code:
Open the flash file, enter in his clip and select layer “add Article on load”. Press F9 to bring the actionscript window and the code that needs to be tweacked is line 44-50 … there you will find the scripts that calculate the y position of title text and info text.. and the panel height… Play on those lines by adding or extracting a value from them.. for example: 
 art.panel.news_title.y = art.panel.glass.y - 5;
or 
 art.panel.glass.height = art.panel.news_title.height + art.panel.news_info.height  - 20;

If you can’t tweak by yourself .. send me an email with a printscreen or a link … or the fla file with the font.

Cheers

Hi, the swf is case sensitive relative to the filename of pics, ex.: if you upload something.JPG it doesnt work, how can I fix that without having to rename the files?

That is a server setting… usualy the linux servers have problems with the uppercase filenames

This file is 5 stars out of 5, but I did find one flaw. When you add enough images so the buttons are near the edge (to the right), when you hover, the thumbnail image disappears off the stage and to the right, the thumbnail does not flip to the left, which would make sense. =(
So now I have to resort to using 15 images as opposed to 20 which was planned… =.(..

If you want to access bitmaps from other domains you should add this

separateDefinitions.checkPolicyFile = true;

before line 67 in GetFile.as

Of course the other domains should have crossdomain.xml files enabling you reading its contents.

For some reason the photo links but the text does not. Any way to get the text to link also?

@dfalzoi
Hi,
To use that text as a link do this : open the file, open the library (Window > Library) open the “news info panel” clip, select the first frame from the first layer, press F9 to open the actionscript window and this line : 

mouseEnabled = false;
Ctrl+Enter to export the new flash file. Posted 2 days ago
