XML ROTATING FEATURE PHOTO MENU WITH TABS

toinus,

simply overlooked that. it can easily be corrected in the .fla

contact me if you need step by step directions.

tzahler,

buttons and tabs are vector, so all should be easy to resize assuming you crop your photos accordingly. and yes, swf files will load in place of images if you prefer.

in the actionscript on the first frame of the .fla, create a variable; i.e. var currPage;

in your index.php page where the object/embed flash code is, append a flashVar to the .swf call; i.e. rotating_feature.swf?currPage=<? $_GET[‘page_id’]; ?>

that will get your page_id into flash.

from there, you need to write some conditionals in flash..something like:

if (currPage == 2){ _global.tabCount = currPage; _root.menu.play(); clearInterval(_root.intervalId); }

btnPlayPause.gotoAndStop('off');

//set invoked article info
//(use index-1 because slideshow frame names initilized @ 0)
slideShow_mc.gotoAndPlay("beg" + (currPage-1));
currArticle = currPage-1;
menu_mc.description_txt.text = articleInfo1;
menu_mc.description_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);

to simply answer your question, yes, it can be done. i have not tested the code… but you get the idea i hope.

kenalderton,

currently, tabs cannot be expanded in number

My machine lost most of it’s fonts recently so I’m just now realizing that apparently I didn’t embed the fonts?
