Flash Photo Gallery Image Rollover Help

Ok I was wondering if anyone could help me with this I have
created a flash photo gallery which reads from an xml file. It uses
the following action script
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
//portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
spacing = 70;
for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
this.picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes
this.thumbHolder =
thumbnails.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
this.thumbHolder._x = i*spacing;
this.thumbLoader =
this.thumbHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_image", 0);
this.thumbLoader.loadMovie(this.picHolder.attributes.thmb);
this.thumbHolder.title = this.picHolder.attributes.title;
this.thumbHolder.main = this.picHolder.attributes.main;
this.thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {
loader.loadMovie(this.main);
title_txt.text = this.title;
myPhoto.load("xmlphoto.xml");
I want to add in a rollover effect to the gallery similar to
the one in Flash Gallery 1 in photoshop
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2961
Would it be possible to take one of the as files from the Flash
Gallery source and intergrate it into my gallery or would I be
better just adding the rollover effect myself?

the thumbnail (or its unique parent if you setup this up
without fore-thought) should be a movieclip that stores a reference
to the larger image's path.
search google for flash gallery tutorial. there are bound to
be lots of tutorials.

  • NEWBIE: Flash photo gallery! Images are pixelated:(

    Greetings everyone. I created a Flash photo gallery using
    gifs. While most of the images are acceptable visually, a bunch of
    them are quite pixelated.
    I read online that I am supposed to use vector graphics
    whenever possible, but not all images where created as vector
    graphics.
    I have a few questions:
    If I create the image in illustrator, what format should I
    save it as to be used in a Flash gallery? If I create the image in
    Photoshop what format should I save it as?
    Lastly, is it true that Flash will load vector graphics
    quicker than gifs?
    Any info would be appreciated! Oh yeah, my site is
    inthemixgraphics.com

    if you create an illustrator file, actually drawing with the
    tools rather than just importing a bitmap and exporting it again,
    it will indeed give you a vector file you can work with. you can
    even export it as images that are readable by flash-- however,
    you'll get the best looking stuff if the vector is basically
    rewritten in flash. Import a (dot)eps file into flash, and break it
    apart. Look at how the objects maintain their shape.
    Now publish the thing and look at the bandwidth viewer. Is
    the filesize much smaller than if you imported the .jpg? It should
    be, but at least there is a way to check it.
    I get the most pixalation from images when I'm forced to
    scale .png's down by less than a perfect %. Its weird.
    If you're loading externally, I'm not entirely sure the
    correct process to bring an optimized vector in, as my thoughts are
    that it would be the actual size of the .eps image (or .swf if you
    can export to that) itself.
    --I hope this makes some sort of sense, and if it doesn't
    you'll have to forgive me.

  • Adding a Flash photo gallery on DW

    So, I'm trying to add a flash photo gallery on my site.  I am very new to this and cant seem to figure out how to do it exactly.
    I've found free templates online and downloaded the files.  But I am unsure where to go from there.  Like I said, I very unexperienced with this program, I did find the add flash option, but am unsure which files to add.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you 

    Hi
    The documentation confirms what I have written in my previous post it is controlled by an xml file.
    Copy all the files required as indicated by the documentation into the required folder and open the gallery.xml file in dreamweaver.
    Insert the images file locations into the xml file as indicated in the example. Important - the location of the files MUST represent where they would be if referenced from the html page you are inserting the image gallery into.
    This means that it is probably better if you create the xml file in the same file position as the html page and the copy this file into the required position in the gallery folder that they suggest you create.

  • Flash Photo Gallery Question

    Hello,
    I am a photographer interested in designing a photo gallery
    website.My question is how are the special effects created in Flash
    for when a thumbnail is clicked and the photo downloads into the
    picture viewer? (such as the photo fading in , the photo is
    assembled from small blocks, the photo downloads from left to
    right, the photo downloads after a flash of light) Is there a name
    for these effects? Thank you so much, Wendy

    These are some complex components/files you can get free off
    the net:
    http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=139
    ImageGallery 3
    http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=135
    Photo Album
    http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=124
    Image Fader
    This particular sample is the closets to what you are looking
    for. It is XML
    driven so all the files information can be edited w/o
    changing the Flash movie.
    You can define 9 transitions along the image name and the
    rest happens automatically.
    There are many more samples online, search for stuff like
    "flash photo gallery"
    or "flash gallery", some free some shareware but definitely
    plenty.

  • Inserting a flash photo gallery in a column

    Hi
    I usually work with frames but I now started a new site using
    the default HTML 2 columns template. One of the columns will hold

    column but this gallery (SimpleViewer) has its own index.html file.
    Is this possible and how can I do it?

  • Flash not displaying photos in Flash photo Gallery

    I have several web sites that use a flash photo gallery to display the photos. All worked until a few months ago when the photo were not displayed to users who used Mozilla Firefox, or MAC users using Safari for their browsers. The albums were blank, the thumbnails were blank. Yet if you used Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, all photos displayed perfectly. I have been to the Firefox forums and they point to Flash. I was using Flash 11.5.502.146, then I downgraded to Flash 10.3. To my surprise all photos display now on my Firefox browse V18.0. So there is definitely a problem with the newer Flash displaying photos in a flash gallery. What can be done to fix this?

  • Need help positioning flash photo gallery partially behind graphic.

    I have created the basic photoshop layout that I will now be assembling in Dreamweaver.  I wish to create a 4 or 5 image gallery using LightBox 2 that will rotate images within the header graphic.  Image attached. How would I accomplish this code wise.  Would I place the arched graphic within it's own <div> and float it above the div that holds the slideshow/gallery?  Any help would be appreciated.

    To the example that you have linked to above, make the following additions
      <div id="arch-container" style="position:relative;">
        <div id="arch-img" style="position:absolute; top: 170px;"><img src="images/arch-img.png" alt="arch_img" width="959" height="195" /></div>
      </div>
    I have used inline styles to make it easy on myself, but in reality you would put the style rules in the corresponding element selector in the CSS. Also, you would readjust the values to suit.
    Also, it is worth mentioning that placing a width and height on your image as you have done, should really be done using CSS.
    Added:
    As a side note, I have gotten into the habit of using classes for all of my style rules. I came to the conclusion that this is the way to go when trying to analyse a problem within my web page. ID's are unique per document and as such are used when manipulating the DOM using JavaScript. Now when I see an ID in one of my documents, I know that it is not a styling matter as in CSS, but a problem within my script.
    Take the above note as a thought, because there is a ongoing debate about this.

  • Flash photo gallery, popup image

    Hi!
    I'm new to flash.
    I have created a small flash thumbnail gallery. What I would
    like to add now is that when you click on one of the images, a
    bigger version of the selected image appears as a popup. At least
    it looks that way.
    How is this done?
    Does anyone have any tutorial or example to look at?
    Thanks

    the thumbnail (or its unique parent if you setup this up
    without fore-thought) should be a movieclip that stores a reference

  • Bought a Flash Photo Gallery

    Hi there. I recently purchased this photo gallery:
    http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/Photo_Gallery3/index.asp
    ( After which I saw people here advertising for MUCH nicer
    ones ) Anyhow:
    I have been able to get it to work on my desktop, but do not
    know how to integrate it into DW. It's comprised of :
    A photos folder
    photogallery.html
    photogallery.swf
    photos.xml
    AC_runactivecontent.js
    Any and all help would be great. Thanks.

    You would think, but when I try to play in DW and view in IE,
    it is just a blank white page.
    I put all parts into DW; the .html & .js files under the
    root folder, the photos in my images folder, and the .swf &
    .xml in a media folder. Not right?
    When I have photogallery.html open in DW, it says

  • Photo gallery image size

    Hi. Is it possible to adjust the photo gallery module's code in a way that makes the image that gets displayed on selecting the thumbnail image display no larger than the browser? I have a client that's uploaded image that are pretty large and would prefer not to have to save them as smaller images if possible.
    Thanks
    Grant

    Are you by any chance saving as a JPEG or TIFF file?
    The image size that Photoshop displays is the uncompressed file size - if you save in a format such as JPEG the image is compressed, which will result in a smaller file size.
    Below is a comparison of the same image in Photoshop versus the compressed file saved to my computer:
    Here's a more technical explanation of what's going on: http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/15184/why-does-photoshop-show-my-jpeg-files-unusu ally-large
    EDIT: If you want more accurate control over the image file size when saving, try going to File > Save for Web... You'll be able to choose your file format, and then see the resulting file size in the bottom left-hand corner of the window:
    I hope this helps!
    Cheers,
