Flash Image Gallery load problem

This a familiar problem that has been put up here a thousand
times I'm sure but as yet I haven't been able to find a solution
for it. I've put together a simple image gallery using Flash and an
XML file. It works perfectly on my system but there are issues with
the images loading properly when I put them onto my site. I know
very little Flash, I've been using a pre-made gallery that I
downloaded but since it works on my computer I assume I should be
able to get it to work online too. The thumbnails for the file seem
to work fine and the information from the XML file is obviously
being accessed, however the main images are not loading. I've
included all the code below (Actionscript, XML and the Web coding),
if someone could help me before I put my fist through a wall that
would be great:
Actionscript
stop();
//specify the url where folder is located below (if
applicable)
toadd="";
t = 0;
l = 0;
theside = 1;
galxml = new XML();
galxml.load(toadd+"flash/fashion/easy-xml-gallery-2.xml");
galxml.ignoreWhite = true;
galxml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
maxnum = galxml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
for (n=0; n<maxnum; n++) {
specs = galxml.firstChild.childNodes[n];
//TEXT FOR SIDE NAV
duplicateMovieClip(side.thumbs.thumbsb, "thumbs"+n, n);
thumbclip = eval("side.thumbs.thumbs"+n);
thumbclip._x = n*100;
thumbclip.thetitle = specs.attributes.name;
thumbclip.theurl = specs.attributes.theurl;
thumbclip.thecaption = specs.attributes.caption;
thumbclip.thenum = n+1;
thumbclip._alpha = 100;
loadMovie(toadd+"/flash/fashion/images/"+(n+1)+"b.jpg",
thumbclip.thumbload.thumbload2);
play();
side.thumbs.thumbsb._visible = false;
mainperc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mainperc.perc<98) {
mainperc._alpha += 5;
mainperc.perc = Math.round(l/t*100);
mainperc.perctext = mainperc.perc+"%";
mainperc.ltext = "OF THUMBNAILS LOADED
("+Math.round(t/1024)+"kb)";
if (mainperc.perc>98) {
//mainperc._alpha -= 5;
if (mainperc._alpha<-50) {
delete mainperc.onEnterFrame;

Yep, these are the directions:
this is very easy to update. You only need to edit the simple
xml file and add images to the images folder.
step 1.
add as many images as you like at the size 536 x 403
step 2.
create thumbnails for the above images at size 100x75
step 3.
update the xml file with the name url and caption for each
image. (to take the url off just click through to the button on the
main picture and delete the script that says getURL(theurl)
step 4.
open flash file and change the 'toadd' variable to the folder
where the flash file and image folder is located on your site.
thats it done.
The frustrating thing now is that the files are finally being
found but the thumbnail function has decided to mess up.

Flash image gallery into dreamweaver cs3

I put a flash image gallery into my web page using dreamweave
cs3 and every things working but the images from the image gallery
do not show up. How do I connect the images to the flash file in
dreamweaver.

Getting a 404 error for

before I even
bring a mouse over the screen.
I'm guessing that
http://www.jenspaeth.com/Jen
Site/Shell.swf is
attempting to load that file and cannot find it.
Did you upload home.swf and any other relavent files to the
root of
www.jenspaeth.com? Or is it supposed to be in the "Jen Site"
folder?
You should not use spaces in folder/file names.

Flash Image Gallery

I purchased the Flash Image Gallery Extension. Installed and
created several beautiful working galleries.
In my image gallery (link below) there are Category titles
176, 186, etc.. When you click the titles it changes the thumbnail
pictures, while the main image remains the same.
Question: I'd like to click on a Category Title and have the
Main Fullsize image change as well. This would help visually to see
that you have in fact changed to a new category. As it is now, it
is not evident that you've changed category. You have to go to the
tn images and click there.
Can you give me some direction on how accomplish this?
Perhaps a behavior - when category title is clicked on the main
image will appear for that category? Seems like a simple edit. Can
I do such an edit on a purchased gallery template file extension?
New to flash, quite familiar with DW CS3. Below is a link to
my gallery:
My
Gallery Link

Hi
These can be linked together - it will need you to change the
destination of the 'Front Page' link (URL) to point to the
appropriate 'Gallery', in the XML you can identify sections by
using the same 'Gallery Id' from the link (URL) in the 'Front
Page'.
Does that make sense?, if you need more help then let me
know

The best Free Flash Image Gallery

Which is the best free flash image gallery for Iweb?

There is no best. That's because they are all different from each other and each brings different properties to the table. Here are some to consider:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
Jalbum Examples - Jalbum has over 100 skins/themes to choose from.

HELP! - XML Image gallery, simple problem

I've posted this problem before and gotten no response. Very
simple I'm sure, I just don't know much Flash. Basically I've
created an image gallery that should look like this:
http://www.flashcomponents.net/upload/samples/1448/index.html.
The problem is that the thumbnails are not being accessed properly
(from what I can tell), making it look like this:
http://shortydesigns.com/index.html.
The images are all in the same folder and since one thumbnail is
loading, I can't see why the others aren't. The Actionscript in the
Flash file is as follows (it was created with Flash 10):
First Piece of Code
stop();
// specify the url where folder is located below (if
applicable)
toadd = "";
t = 0;
l = 0;
theside = 1;
galxml = new XML();
galxml.load(toadd+"flash/fashion/easy-xml-gallery-2.xml");
galxml.ignoreWhite = true;
galxml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
maxnum = galxml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
for (n=0; n<maxnum; n++) {
specs = galxml.firstChild.childNodes[n];
// TEXT FOR SIDE NAV
duplicateMovieClip(side.thumbs.thumbsb, "thumbs"+n, n);
thumbclip = eval("side.thumbs.thumbs"+n);
thumbclip._x = n*100;
thumbclip.thetitle = specs.attributes.name;
thumbclip.theurl = specs.attributes.theurl;
thumbclip.thecaption = specs.attributes.caption;
thumbclip.thenum = n+1;
thumbclip._alpha = 100;
loadMovie(toadd+"flash/fashion/images/"+(n+1)+"b.jpg",
thumbclip.thumbload.thumbload2);
play();
side.thumbs.thumbsb._visible = false;
mainperc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mainperc.perc<98) {
mainperc._alpha += 5;
mainperc.perc = Math.round(l/t*100);
mainperc.perctext = mainperc.perc+"%";
mainperc.ltext = "OF THUMBNAILS LOADED
("+Math.round(t/1024)+"kb)";
if (mainperc.perc>98) {
// mainperc._alpha -= 5;
if (mainperc._alpha<-50) {
delete mainperc.onEnterFrame;
Later in the timeline:
stop();
pic.info.thenum = side.thumbs.thumbs0.thenum;
pic.info.thecaption = side.thumbs.thumbs0.thecaption;
pic.info.thetitle = side.thumbs.thumbs0.thetitle;
pic.info.theurl = side.thumbs.thumbs0.theurl;
loadMovie(_root.toadd+"flash/fashion/images/1.jpg",
pic.pic2.pic3);
onEnterFrame = function () { side.gotoa = 110;if
(side._alpha>99) {side._alpha = 100;delete
onEnterFrame;}side.lefta = side.gotoa-side._alpha;side._alpha +=
side.lefta/5;pic._alpha = side._alpha;};

I noticed two thing:
1. I guess the error occurs when currentImage variable is out
of range of sortedXML array. You, perhaps need to trace this var
and see at what point the error happens.
2. Unless I missed someting, It seems that you always load
images. At some point you load images that are already loaded. It
is inefficient. You, perhaps, better off reusing already loaded
images.

Flash Web Gallery Loader Background

Greetings all,
I am placing a LR Flash Web Gallery in an inline frame of an html page. The page background is 75% Gray.
When the page is displayed, the loader swf appears to have a white background, causing an annoying white flash on the page until the slideshow loads.
Once the slideshow loads, the page looks fine.
I've played with the .xml files, but haven't found a tag that affects that background yet. Anybody experience the same problem?
Many thanks for your help,
Jeff

Hi John,
Thanks for the info and the link...
I read your blog and instead of using an inline frame, embedded the sideshow directly in my page.
Works fine, except now I have to "click to activate control" (Windows curse), which apparently was overridden by a script in LR's generated index.html page.
However, thanks to your suggestions, I used my own overide scripts and embedded the page anyway. A much more elegant solution.
Great blog and thanks for the inspiration.
Best regards,
Jeff

XI PDF file displays flash images as 'Loading Data Please Wait'

I'm trying to 'Convert Web Page to Adobe PDF'
The web page I'm trying to convert contains Adobe Flash images.
The PDF file is created, but when I open the resulting file instead of seeing the flash images I get the following
I am using a trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.

The URL is on our intranet so won't be accessible. The url is
http://hcdev.support.local:8080/apex/f?p=108:1:450638934290001::NO:::
Adobe recognises the flash content when I right click on the flash content and select 'Save as PDF'
When I open the resulting PDF file I can see the flash content has been captured.
When I right click on the webpage containing the flash content and click on 'Convert webpage to Adobe PDF'
When I open the resulting PDF file it recognises that there is flash content to display, but for some reason fails to display it.
Adobe recognises the flash content and the way it is structured when I right click on the flash content, but Adobe is having problems either saving or displaying the content when I try to convert the whole page.

Flash Image Gallery Thumbnails

Ok...
So i built myself an image gallery where you could click a
next button and the next image would be displayed. VERY simple. Now
i have decided to make thumbnails. I have an xml file, and i want
to automatically load each thumbnail onto the stage where i want
it. If possible i want these thumbnails not to be a seperate image,
but a scaled down version of the original. Also, i obviously want
to be able to scroll, i dont care how (buttons or scrollbar etc.),
the thubnails if there are too many thumbnails to fit.
How would i go about doing something like this?
Cheers

BUMP!

LR4 Flash Web Gallery Color Problems

The color space on the selected images appears to be changing when I use the Lightroom flash gallery in the web module of LR4.1. This stays the same when the gallery is uploaded. In previous version of LR I have seen color changes in the web module but they have been corrected (and correct) when the gallery is uploaded to the 'net.
I have read that this was (previously) a problem with the flash gallery specifically becuase it was not colour magaded, but I understood that this had been corrected for LR4. As far as my use is concerned it's actually more problematic now than it has been previously.
Can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Stephen

I have windows 7 and monitor with a calibrated profile. LR4 flash gallery's displayed are color correct, but the same gallery displayed on a uncalibrated (wide gamut) monitor shows saturated colors. Check your color management in windows 7 if a profile is associated with your monitor. The best color managed web browser for windows is safari for windows next is firefox see also this website http://www.gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html

How to add a loader to an image gallery loading content using only actionscript

here is the script of my gallery..and the timeline has just one frame...
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
var imagesNumber:Number = 18;
var scrolling:Boolean = true;
for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {
container.attachMovie("thumb"+i,"thumb"+i+"_mc",i);
myThumb_mc = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];
if (i==1)
myThumb_mc._x = (0.0)*myThumb_mc._width;
else
myThumb_mc._x = ((1.2*i)-1.2)*myThumb_mc._width;
myThumb_mc._y = (Stage.height-myThumb_mc._height)/2;
myThumb_mc._alpha = 100;
myThumb_mc.largerImage = i;
myThumb_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 60;
myThumb_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
myThumb_mc.onRelease = function() {
this._alpha=100;
for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {
var myClip = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];
myClip.enabled = false;
scrolling = false;
_root.attachMovie("image"+this.largerImage,"large_mc",2);
large_mc._x = (Stage.width-large_mc._width)/2;
large_mc._y = (Stage.height-large_mc._height)/2;
new Tween(large_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 0.5, true);
new Tween(container,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,100,50,0.5,true);
large_mc.onRelease = function() {
scrolling = true;
var myFadeOut = new Tween(large_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 0.5, true);
new Tween(container,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,50,100,0.5,true);
myFadeOut.onMotionFinished = function() {
for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {
var myClip = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];
myClip.enabled = true;
large_mc.removeMovieClip();
container.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (scrolling){
this._x += Math.cos((-_root._xmouse/Stage.width)*Math.PI)*20;
if (this._x>0) {
this._x = 0;
if (-this._x>(this._width-Stage.width)) {
this._x = -(this._width-Stage.width);
anyone knows how to add a loadre to this...?
thanks..

Flash photo gallery - loading first movie - action script

Hi,
I have a movie gallery (they are basically images with a fading effect), and I got it setup, and working, but I cannot get right the action script to make the first movie load when the page opens. The only thing I get to see is the scroll bar with the thumbnails, and after I click on the images I can see the full size. I would like the full size image of the first thumbnail to show up as default when the page opens. And then, if you click on the thumbnails the other images will appear. This is my link:
http://www.mauriciolopez.info/paintings/
This is the action script for a typical Thumbnail (setup as a button):
on (release) {
loadMovie("clip0.swf", "_root.screen");
I appreciate your help!!!!
Thanks!!!!

Rob, thanks for your answer. I do have a movieClip, at the root level. All my other movies load when I click the thumbnails. For some reason I'm not able to make a video appear before clicking on the thumbnails. I'd like to open the gallery and see the first video full size (automatically), before even clicking the thumbnails. Then, when you scroll and enlarge the other ones, they will replace the default one. I haven't been able to make it do this, and it's driving me crazy....
Thanks again for your help.

Image gallery widget problems

First of all, I'm pretty new to coding and using CS4 on my Mac. I'm trying to create a simple lightbox gallery. I'm using the Adobe Widget Browser and downloaded Lightbox Gallery Widget. I had to copy/paste all of the coding because for some reason dragging/dropping didn’t work. All of my thumbnails look good, but when I view in Live mode or in a browser, the large image does not appear. All of my images are in the correct folder and linked, but I'm thinking there's a problem with the 'next', 'prev', etc images. I’m sure it’s something simple I’m missing, but I’m at my wits end. I’ve used the Markup Validation Service and it checks out ok. Here is my site:

I’d appreciate any assistance! Thank you!

Having a similar issue - I had taken some iphoto galleries off my mobile me gallery page but they were still linked to pages published in iWeb.
When I realized this I opened iWeb and took the gallery widgets out.
Then went into iPhoto and republished the galleries to mobile me, then back to iWeb and they still showed blank (like the two didn't know about eachother - name of the gallery is still showing in iWeb, but no longer displays photos).
Next try - delete the widget from iWeb page, delete the mobile me published gallery from iPhoto, setup a new (different name and all) published gallery in iPhoto - works, gallery page in mobile me works, back to iWeb and insert widget menu and the old galleries are still listed, no new galleries are showing up in iWeb now - great.
So, trying the tricks of shutting down iPhoto, iWeb, logging out of mobile me account in system preferences as well as via safari on me.com - then log back into every thing and start up iWeb again - still no new iPhoto published mobile me galleries showing in the iWeb insert-widget-mobile me menu.
Any help? Looking for a refresh in iWeb!?

WebVPN flash based website loading problem

We are using Cisco ASA WebVPN, ASA version 8.2(2).
Problem: Flash driven website is not loading especially for MAC users.
Same website accessible from Windows based machines.
Initially user logins to WebVPN and 2 bookmarked links for same website.
frist website for Windows users and other is for MAC users
Only difference is Windoes users bookmark is configured with Smarttunnel and MAC is not.
Website does open for MAC user, but it's just not loading the content (flash contents)
Could someprovide inputs to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

That was a waste of a couple hours.... The reason it was not redering is because I had a glow filter effect on a parent
displayobject in the app... Really weird, cause html stuff would load, but flash would not show up.

Flash Image gallery (film strip)

HI there,
I recently came across a webpage that had a film strip
slideshow at the top of the homepage... Does anyone know what this
is called or knows of a script that does something similar? Ive
been looking for three weeks now but I can not find one.
Thanks!

Do you have a reference that can make clear what you
