Slideshow 2 - XML

bobocel

Full XML customizable – and scalable.

The part where you change things in the XML to control the images looks like this:

< settings >
    < time >4</ time >
    < color >000000</ color >
    < alpha >50</ alpha >    
    < loop >true</ loop >    
</ settings >

It is quite clear what each tag does. There are also more settings for the images.

If you want to change the size of the stage, you also need to change these variables in the code:

var sWidth:Number = 590; var sHeight:Number = 300;

The output panel will tell you what should be the width of the images. The height of the images should be the same as the stage height. The code will resize the buttons and reposition all elements to keep the swf file play the same way, no matter the size. Pretty kewl, isn’t it?

Please don’t hesitate to write me if you have any questions, or you want to customize the file even more.

Thank you and I’ll see you around!

Hi There. I really like this gallery.

One question. When I incorporate file into my flash movie how do I position it to my liking. It seems to default at the top of my page

x = position 0 y = position 0

Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

You can load it in your swf, using loadClip, and position the container movieclip to your liking.

Is there a way I can pass the XML location using addParam?

I’m trying to use shopify and their file system is weird.

I’d like it so that when someone loads the page that it doesn’t flip through all the images. I think this is how it was in the previous version? Please let me know how I modify this, I think my users will be really confused if they open the page and it quickly flips through all the images. Thanks!

@cjennings: sure. Pass a variable name instead of the XML , and then send that variable as the flashvars, and the value be your xml file.

@tboxer854: there are more changes needed for this. You should start with the Actions.as file. I don’t think I have the previous version anymore. People complained that wasn’t the way to go, and wanted it like this.

I have recently purchased this slide show but I am having trouble resizing. The canvas size for my project is 908px by 284px. My images are 716px by 284px. Ive resized my stage to the correct 818 px so the images load correctly but now I have blank white space on the right side. Need help. Thanks!

It doesn’t look like you purchased this file. Can you tell me what account did you used?

Hi bobocel,

A co-worker of mine bought it under his account (bobcook). However, you can disregard the question I asked yesterday, I was able to get it working by just making the buttons wider to compensate for the smaller images.

jason23z made a comment about the alpha getting lighter and lighter, this behavior is still happening. To reproduce it you have to click the buttons all the way to the end back and forth 4 or 5 times and you can see it getting lighter each time until it is gone. Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix that?

I was wondering if this can be easily resized and used in a oscommerce site as a gallery for each product. I will have over 200 products. How many files need to be edited to complete one gallery/per product? Do I need any flash programs in order to do this or will DreamWeaver alone be fine?

Thanks, -Mike C.

I’m sorry, also, do the images all have to be the same size, or will this gallery auto adjust each image to the appropriate size to fit inside the gallery area?

Thanks again, -Mike C.

@iconic: I’m afraid I’ll answer only to your co-worker account questions.

bobocel

@zurcnet: the images need to be the same size. To change the file size you will need to use Flash, as per the instructions that come with the help file.

Ok, same question (iconic and jason23z) about the alpha bug?

hi bobocel

can you let me know how to make this stop at the first picture and not load all the way to the last..

also is it possible to seperate the buttons so they’re not on top of the pictures ?

thx

bobocel

@ev_el: you can make a mask for the image, so that way you will have the image separate – but in my opinion that’s the beauty of this file!

To have only the first image loaded, you actually want to have the first image stay on screen, so the other images can load in the background. Comment the elastic tween code, in Actions.as

This file is extremely difficult to resize.

Please help.

I need it to fit in 474×285. It’s cutting off images and not aligning.

bobocel

Please follow the steps exactly. I could do it for you only when I get some free time.

Please try again. I thought I uploaded the right content. In case you noticed, I just updated the file.

well done bobocel… first of all major improvement is that you dont use _root. anymore in this .AS file…

i have a minor bug though to pinpoint to you.

if the “loop” mode is ON when the loop is done the left button stays ENABLED , it should be disabled because there isnt any photos on the left after the loop is done…

major improvement though!!

@cts: thanks – the button is testing the value of the image, so it won’t allow the user to click it if it’s at the last / first image.

Hello,

I bought your gallery and am attempted to import it into an html file via dreamweaver, but when i upload it to test it, it is just showing a white box instead of the gallery. Am I missing something? When I am importing it into dreamweaver, I am bringing it in as a flash file. Should i be bring it in some other way?

Thank you
