The Snake XML Image Gallery

A unique menu with dynamic, pixel-perfect buttons, which are all dynamically scaled and positioned in relation to the mouse position to produce a unique animation among the buttons. This animation is entirely controlled by ActionScript. Thumbnail images can be any size you would like! But it works and looks much better if they are all the same height, and looks best if they are all the same size in width and height. The gallery image box conforms to any image size and also dynamically makes space for any description that you add in the XML . It also has a next and previous arrow buttons that you can click on the image to just go back and forth. All the buyer has to do is fill in the XML , thumbnail urls, image urls, and descriptions. There are also other things the buyer can change.

This gallery uses The Snake Menu.

The Snake V2 XML Image Gallery now available.

AS3 .

Well, if you can get snakes on a plane, I guess it wouldn’t be long until we got snakes on Flashden. ;) Nice gallery, Christian! :)

Man, This snake is tame, too! Very impressive I say. The snake effect might become popular soon.

Thanks all. There have been requests for a V2 of the Snake Menu that this gallery uses, where there are tooltips added, and this gallery will probably get that update as well. Thanks.

Very nice! but why there is no preloader?

superpowter77: haha, thanks. xD

mr_via: the thumbnails and images are preloaded. If you mean for the main file, you can add your own preloader if you want. I didn’t see it to be that important since the size is so sleek – preload a box? The starting size of the movie is less than 20kb.

Great job!

Yes, nice file.

ChristianKragh,

i meant that it takes a period of time after you click to view an image until it shows…that may be a suitable place to place a preloader.

other then that, it really is a great file ;)

mr_vai: you’re right! There’s no preloader there, but there’s definitely supposed to be! That is really strange, because my files on my computer have preloaders… I’ll reupload (dammit!). Thanks mr_vai!

hehe…:) no prob bro!

Very nice file, if the image is so big that is doesnt fit the screen will it scale?

Posted 2 months ago

mr_vai: reuploaded and the preloader is there now. :)

mott: no that feature is not included. :(

when i resize my browser window after publishing it it doesnt sit central and also the thumbnails disappear (without the menu button to bring them back into view) and also the bigger images resize with the window instead of stayin at one size!!....very frustrating, any help?? cheers

fraserpeek: you emailed me – it was because you had set the alignment to “center” and “middle” instead of the usual top, left alignment in your html index page. i just wanted to clarify that so no one thinks there is a problem with my file. :)

I’m really interested in buying your gallery, but I want the thumbnails to go vertically down on the left – is this a difficult thing to acheive?

Posted 2 months ago

There is no support for having the menu on other sides, so yes, it is quite difficult; if you would attempt to do this yourself, you should have at least some working knowledge of AS3 .
