How do you configure the XML doc so that it opens up a link on the same page other than opening a new page when clicking on an image map link?

With a little bit of editing this can be done. You would need to place your button in the library, then edit the actionscript so that it attaches your button instead of drawing the default button.

i just have a 1q.

does it work off the _root timeline in its own clip, allowing it to be called into another mc on the main stage?

Hi,

Can I set the fade like the following: http://www.flashden.net/item/banner-for-webside-v3-random/8178

Can I place button images on imagemapped that do not fade?

Thank you

Warning, I bought this flash and when I use it after some minutes on a website, it saturate the processor and your browser freeze. I use a dual core intel at 2.4 GHz with 2 Go Ram, so to have a saturation it need to take a lot a lot of ressource. On my old pentium, it take 90% of cpu to run.

Something need to be corrected.

Another fact, something lock the use of the external parameters, so it’s impossible to use an external xml filename or parameters. I have tryed all the ways, and all have be refused.

If someone could give me a way to do that, (s)he will be nice.

Great file thanks.

I’m looking to add text for each image (i.e text that is not part of the image)

Can you advise of what Action script I would need to add this new funtion?

Thanks

Is there a way to let it auto play just once then stop? Instead of going back to the first image and repeating?

@edaigh It’s quite a bit of extra programming to work out all the details of that. I see that you also were looking at this file: http://www.flashden.net/item/autosize-imagevideo-gallery/12515, which already has video built in. That is probably a better solution than trying to modify this one.

@craigowillis Sure, first of all, you need to add to the XML file, so that each item has an additional node that holds the caption, then find in Actionscript where the XML is being loaded in, grab the caption, and create a textfield to fill in the text.

@tmac There are probably several ways of accomplishing this. The easiest would be to modify the nextpic function (line 252), since we are already checking for the last picture so that we can loop to the beginning. Comment out lines 272, 273, 274, and 275 and the movie will stop on the last picture.

Very Nice!

The only things that are missing:

- banner title in XML - pause button - individual timer for each banner - video support - XHTML implementation example code

Any intentions for further development?

Many thanks for the file.
