SIMPLE IMAGE VIEWER

Wow, FlashDen stuff gets pretty quick notice. Just found the place and thought I’d experiment with this little guy. Thanks for the feedbacks. Checked out some of you guys’ things. Pretty cool.

The 100 limit… well, just kinda pulled that number out of my hat. Used a couple arrays, and as long as I’ve been programming, I’ve never been a big fan of undefined array lengths. Haha, guess I just feel like that’s saying, “I will eventually blow up, I just don’t know when. In any case, because this guy has to preload all images, I didn’t imagine anyone would use it for TOO many. 100 seemed like an ok limit. Easy change in the code.

Thanks again for checkin’ me out.

Hey alvin, thanks. Well, the color changes and images and captions to be loaded are just done in the XML file. If you’re referring to compelo’s question about the 100 image limit, there are some quite obvious little changes that would have to be done in the fla file. Specifically, in frame 5, you’ll see some arrays at the top set to 102. Either make that number bigger or just delete the number for each array. And on line 27 you’ll see an “if” statement cutting the count off at 100. You can just delete that whole line.

Thanks again, and let me know if you need help.

hey tag,

oh no. it scales images to fit in the viewing area. Actually, they way I’m doing it, there’s a picture stage movie clip, which is just a rectangle, that you can size however you want if you’re editing the viewer. The viewer then scales the image so that it fits in that area, with its maximum dimension being the limiting factor. Check the hibiscus picture (the 4th sample image). Taller than it is wide, it’s scaled so that its height fits within the height of the picture stage movie clip, and then its width is scaled proportionately.

thanks, bidderman

hey musher, thanks. well, the easy flashless way is to just scale it in your html file, or .js file if you’re loading it like my sample html page. actually, pretty sure the .js file with my sample page has a 900×600 scaling script in it. just change the sample html script line from:

to:

so you can scale it there or in your html file to any proportions of 600×400. like: 960×640, 1020×680, 1080×720, 1140×760…

and that was mainly why i added the ability to size the text so it wouldn’t have to get huge if you scaled it bigger.

anyway, just giving you that thought if you want to try it. if you’d really like it actually sized differently, give me a shout at skbidderman@yahoo.com

thanks.
