THE COLOURS GO ALL WRONG WHEN USING OWN GALLERY ??? I just added my first gallery of black and white jpegs edited the xml and tested. Large parts of the images appear yellow in the flash movie. Your image galleries are the only ones that display correctly. My images are also reduced to a smaller size than they need to be. Please help

Thanks

Ok colour problem fixed. Must make sure images are saved in RGB mode. But please help about size. My images are 300 pixels high but your slideshow keeps reducing them so they are slightly smaller. I need them to remain the same size.

Thanks

managed to tweak image size to be the same by resizing the slide containers (there are three of them each below each other, use zoom ctrl+)

id like to change the colour of the pause/play buttons when they have been clicked?

thanks

Ok i have managed to tweak everything to how i need it but it only works stand alone. Ive tried adding it to my flash movie and all I get are errors. I can get it to work partially by loading it as an external swf but it freezes on 2nd image or if u move to another category and hit play button it displays one image and then freezes. After that it stops working.

I would appreciate some help. So far this is the only product I have purchased from flashden that hasn’t worked and has no support.

Thanks

what is the actionscript version of your main swf file in which you are loading this slideshow?

This slideshow is using AS2 and will only work with AS2 not with AS3 if you are using AS3 .

I was afraid of that. Yes my main swf is AS3 . Heres my work around AS2 cant load AS3 but you could still load an AS2 external swf onto AS3

for example:

var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(“slideshow.swf”; var myloader:Loader=new Loader(); myloader.load(myrequest); stage.addChild(myloader); function handlemenu( pEvent:MouseEvent):void { if( pEvent.target == menubtn ) { gotoAndPlay(1); myloader.unload(); } }

menubtn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, handlemenu );

There were no more compiler errors and all seemed to work then it freezes on 2nd image or if you move to another category and hit play button it displays one image and then freezes. After that it stops working. I guess theres some access problem with the loaded AS2 movies’s variables or functions. Could you please migrate this slideshow to AS3 ? Or if I give you my tweaked slideshow could you make this compatible with AS3 if I paid you for the work? Let me know how much it would cost?

migrating this slideshow to AS3 is much more work then making it in AS3 from scratch. Though migrating it AS3 and uploading here would have benefited me but I am very busy these days which I have even specified on my profile page here on flashden.

Hi! Is there a way to get the thumbnails to appear on the right of the image (as opposed to the bottom) and have them appear in 3 columns, 6 rows? Also, how do we code this to display a larger description of the image somewhere? Thanks for all your help! Elias

Thank you for offering this fantastic gallery! It is the most organized, most well-commented and easiest-to-customize file I have ever received. I absolutely love it and it saved me many hours of coding! A pleasure to work wtih. Many thanks!!!

it has only support for horizontal scrolling in single column. What you have asked for requires modifying the file a lot for which you can hire someone to help you.

I guess you have path issues. Try to place the xml file relative to the holder swf file.

Hello SaafiDesign,

I’ve purchased your gallery and it’s very good. I managed to change the colors on the buttons, loading bar, and text, but there is one color I haven’t been able to change….and there is no indication for that in your Instructions.doc

How do I change the category menu font’s color, the pink font items that dropdown as categories?

Pleas help, thanks!

find the category_item_mc inside the library panel, double click it, select the textfield movieclip and change the tint from the properties panel.

Hi, I bought this great gallery a few days ago but I want to change the path of some files. When I put all files in the root of my website it works but when I put everything in “fla/fotopagina/” it won’t work. I don’t know what I have to chance and where to make it work. Maybe you can help me. I chance the path of some files but I can’t find them al. So I isn’t working.

I know why it wasn’t working… I had to chance the path in my ActionScript of the file slides.xml into fla/fotopagina/slides.xml.

First, let me say this is a very cool viewer! So far it has proven to be easy to modify and pretty well documented and I am a VERY beginner flash user. I would highly recommend it!

I have a question about the XML file. In it there are descriptions like <![CDATA[Place your text here.] Where does this info appear? I am assuming that when you add your text to this line it appear somewhere. Can I have it appear below the slide? Or at least someplace that the viewer can see it?

Thanks again for your cool work!

To change the color of the preloader for the large images you have to change the hexadecimal color values inside the beginLoadSlide function in the following lines:

if( current_slide_holder == slide_holder_1 ){
            current_slide_holder = slide_holder_2;
            preloader_color.setRGB(0xFF00F1);
        }
        else{
            current_slide_holder = slide_holder_1;
            preloader_color.setRGB(0x00A9FA);
        }

To change the color of the thumbnail border find thumb_mc in the library, double click it and change the movieclip colors as you wish.

The question about text description has been many times and it was my mistake not to remove the description node from the xml file.
