If you open the flash and change the name of the xml file and publish the swf. The file does not work. All of the images go off in one direction and you never see them again.

Highly customizable image menu scroller, XML driven.
You can customize the following variables:
- imageWidth and imageHeight
- imageSpacing
- minScrollSpeed & maxScrollSpeed
- scrollEaseIn & scrollEaseOut
- inColor & outColor & coloringSpeed
- preloaderSize
- loadSmoothed
- showDescription
- useMirror
- set the menu horizontal or vertical
All the code (well commented) is in the first frame of the first Layer.
You can specify the images and target urls through the XML file. Put images at any dimensions, they are automatically resized. All images should have the same sizes. Set the target URLs to point to different sections of your website, or add your own code for clicking on each image instead of getURL method.

URGENT ! Just purchased however each image box needs to have links such as:
//image 1
onClipEvent(load) { num=6;
on(release) { _level0.mc_site.pages.gal_num=num; _parent.play(); }
//image 2
onClipEvent(load) { num=7;
on(release) { _level0.mc_site.pages.gal_num=num; _parent.play(); }
etc…................
All is see is a geturl in the xml file.. but this would be useless if I can’t add the above type linkage.

samharry: If you want to change the name of the XML file, you have also change the name of the file called by xml.load() method from within the FLA file; the SWF needs to know exactly which XML file the data should be read from.
cmykdesign: the scroller was designed to link to specific URL ’s (internal or external) given by the XML file. If you want to add different behaviors when clicking the images, you’ll have to edit the onPress event and change the getURL() method to a desired code. The code you specified will not apply as the images are read from the XML file, they are not actual buttons on the stage to apply onClipEvent(load) or on(release). As I said, onPress event is defined on the code and you can do all your action in there when clicking each image

The images fly just like samharry describes, I set it up the xml.load(), tested a bit around. But found that if the thumbnails don’t fill all the width, then they go off left direction… can this be fixed?

You mention that this menu can be vertical. Do you have an example of this in action?

I really like this menu, but am wondering how complicated would it be to have a larger (preview) image pop up when you mouseover the thumbnail? With or without the descriptive text.

Ciao Snowcat, I need to show images of different sizes or at least of different widths and I was wondering how difficult would be to change the code.
Thanks Mirko

This file is brilliant! I am going to use it a lot.
The first time I used the file I didn’t have many images so my images didn’t fill the width of the player and also flew left. My easy non-techy solution to this was just to repeat my sequence of images in the XML file. It only took me a second to copy and paste the lines about my first four images directly beneath them in the XML file and it doesn’t bother me that the images appear twice in my carousel. At a glance it makes me look like I’ve got more images too!
There may be a techy solution too, I am just not that good with script.
