EASY XML BACKGROUND IMAGE ROTATOR

Easy XML Background Image Rotator

This file was created as an easy way to have full background images in your flash file. By placing this in your project and editing an extremely simple XML file you can have images that automatically center, and fill to fit your stage. You can put in one image and use it as an easy way to add a nice auto-resizing background, or you can point the xml at multiple images and have it loop through them at an interval you specify in the xml file.

Features:

• Automatically centers all images, and optionally scales them to fit to your stage as best as they can.


• Can take one image, and statically show it, or many and loop through them.


• What images to use, whether each scales to fit, and the loop interval time is all XML driven.


• Has features built in so that if it is to change images and the next one isn’t ready, it will wait until it is, immediately switch to it, and then restart the timer, so it always plays cleanly and smoothly.


• You can drag and drop a movie clip onto your stage to place it, or use it as a class in script.


• About 2k added to your file size.


• You can place it in any amount movie clips nested within each other and it will still place and scale correctly. It’s smart like that


• For expert coders that wish to integrate more deeply, it dispatches an event once the first image is done loading, for loading purposes so that your site can sync with the background being ready.


• Images load one at a time, so that you can see them in order, quicker. But they also start loading the next one immediately after the previous is loaded, so that loading is done as quickly as possible, reducing possible slow downs.
