I like it 
simple but useful 
This is a powerful picture and swf banner rotator. It’s capable of loading and displaying pictures and swf files.Everything is controlled through ActionScript code and external XML file.
When you use this file in your own applications , you just need to create one layer and one empty movie clip and give it an instance name of ‘imagesHolder’. All images and external swf files will be loaded in it.
All important properties for this file are controlled through xml:// example xml // <images folderpath="images/" easing="easeInOutQuint" desceasing="easeInOutQuint" preload="3" speed="2.4" descspeed="1.3"> <image url="cyan_businesshandshake.jpg" direction="fromright" time="2" ><![CDATA[ HTML Text]]></image> <image url="random_statue.jpg" direction="random" time="1"><![CDATA[HTML Text ]]></image> <image url="scottwills_building1.jpg" direction="fromleft" time="1.5"><![CDATA[ HTML Text]]></image> <image url="external_like_matrix.swf" direction="fromright" time="1.5"><![CDATA[ HTML text]]></image> <image url="cyan_hawksburyriver.jpg" direction="fromtop" time="3"><![CDATA[ HTML text]]></image> <image url="scottwills_cityscape.jpg" direction="frombottom" time="1.5"><![CDATA[ HTML text]]></image> </images> </data>// end example xml
folderpath : is the property that holds the value for path to the images , in this example value is “images/” that means that the full path for the images will be: images/image1.jpg ; images/image2.jpg ; etc … easing : this property holds a value for easing of pictures on the stage, all easing equations used by Tweener class , are accepted, there are more than 40 equations. If this paremeter is omitted , it defaults to ‘linear’ Check out the demos for all equations here: http://hosted.zeh.com.br/tweener/docs/en-us/misc/transitions.html
desceasing : this property is the as easing , but it controls the easing for description movieclip.
preload : holds a value for how many images of total images are going to be preloaded , that means if there are 10 images or external swf’s and we set the property for preload to be 5 , animation won’t start to play until at least 5 images are preloaded. When those five images are preloaded, the rest of the images will start to load also , but animation will play after only five images are loaded. The rest of the images are loaded in the background. If the animation comes to a picture that hasn’t been loaded yet , animation will hold current image on stage, and wait for the next image to load, as soon as the image loads , animation will continue if you don’t provide value for this parameter , all images will be loaded right on start. This property is very handy , because user doesn’t have to wait for all images to be loaded before he sees any images on the stage at all.
speed : holds a value for the speed of image animations (how long will take each image to animate in to position on the stage) . Value is presented in number of seconds so in this example images will take 2 seconds to complete the animation. if you don’t provide a value for this parameter , default value is ‘2’.
descspeed : this parameter is the same as speed parameter, but it controls the speed of description mc.
url : holds the url for the picture or external swf file, url value will be added to imagepath value to for the full path to the image. For example , path to first image in xml file will be : images/picture1.jpg Note that you can use any name for the image, it doesn’t have to be : image1.jpg ; image2.jpg ;image3.jpg it can be anything you like: beach.jpg ; winter.png ; externalSWF.swf ; etc…
direction : this parameter , holds the value for direction of the images that are to be slided ON the stage. Acceptable parameters are : “fromright”, “fromleft” , “fromtop” , “frombottom”, “random” If you choose “random” direction is randomly choosen everytime.
time : holds the value for how long will every image be on the stage. Values are in seconds , so , in this example image1.jpg will be focused for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds pass , another image will slide on the stage , provided that the next image is loaded , if not image1.jpg will stay on the stage , until the next image becomes available.
I just bought this Flash utility and it doesnt work. When I try to view the index.html file I simply get the page with a black window and the loading image. None of the images are previewed.
Also I have not edited a single file. So Im not sure where the problem is. Could you please help me with this?
