Making a photo gallery
I am having trouble with actionscript. I am making a photo
gallery and my buttons and layout are just dandy everything's
looking fine. The buttons do nothing, and i know i need
actionscript to make it work but i have no idea how to even begin.
I have what i want the buttons to show made in a movie clip I just
need to know how to how to have the clip come up and be centered
when clicked. Please help me.
depends on whether you are using AS3 or AS2.
either way, however, you're looking to work with "event
handlers"
onRelease()
onPress()
onRollOver()
onRollOut()
etc...
so in AS2, if you have a button named "test_b" on your main
timeline, you would assign an action like this...
test_b.onRelease = function() {
trace("this is a test to see if this button works.");
AS3's event handlers are a little different.

Making a photo Gallery in Flash cs4
Is there an easy way to make a cool looking, interactive photo gallery that i can insert into my website usuing flash?
The safest answer to give you is... no, there is no easy way for you to make a cool looking interactive photo gallery. To achieve whatever it is you consider cool looking and interactive requires understanding how to design with Flash and Actionscript. Your best bet for getting a start on making one is to search Google using search terms like... "AS3 gallery tutorial" and add in any other terms that represent what you want.

Creating a photo gallery with upload feature.
I am making a photo gallery for my website. I think it would be cool to allow the upload of images to the server. I will make the gallery search for images in the folder on the server and display them, but that is not my problem. My problem is how to allow them to upload. I have been to many sites unnseccessfully. Are there any good tutorials on how to do this and how to make the server side script. And, if possible, can i do it with out a script on the server?
Welcome Alex -
Any picture you display on your site can be saved to the visitor's computer.
If you ZIP each gallery, a simple link to the zipped archive will offer the visitor
an option to save to their computer. -
Making a beautiful spry photo gallery
I'm trying to make a photo album like the one on adobe's spry
sample photo album page here,
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/index.html
But I haven't been able to find any tutorials to do such a
thing, so I've resorted to cutting and pasting code, which is a
really bad idea for me since I'm new to web design and for me
understanding java script is harder than understanding the female
psyche.
At any rate, this is what I've been able to do so far for my
wife's retail site:
http://paxbaby.com/photoalbum.htm
If anybody feels ready and able to take on the challenge, I
have 3 real problems I haven't been able to figure out: first, how
to make the big pictures fade in and out like on Adobe's sample
page; second, how to make the thumbnails grow and shrink in front,
not behind, the other thumbnails, and third, how to make the
thumbnails grow and shrink from their center point, not from their
upper left corners.
I'd love it if anyone is willing to help me out with this --
and if you have any other pointers on my site there, I'm all
ears!I've set up the photo gallery demo -china,paris,egypt- and
made a swap of a couple of my photos from in Dreamweaver's property
box src for thumbs, and link for the large pic. It works in Safari
and Opera but not in firefox and I don't know about IE as I'm on a
MAC and not that for into it yet.Is there something to look for in
the code? It shows no browser issues when I test for compatability?
I'd really like to use the xml version but I have tried and had no
luck except in Safari. -
Making a web gallery type photo viewer in encore
Ay guys,
so I'm relatively new with the whole encore thing. I know enough that I can make menu's, buttons, put in animations etc. the basics really.
I'm wondering if theres a way to make one of my menu's a photo gallery kind of like this one
http://www.filebuzz.com/software_screenshot/full/49904-FlexiGallery__XML_Flash_Image_Galle ry.gif
Where the small ones at the bottoms are thumbnails and when clicked show up in the bigger one up top.
i know photoshop has the ability to make web galleries but i wasn't sure if or how they could transfer over.
Thanks and any info is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.For a Photo Gallery, I think that you will want to look a Adobe Bridge, Adobe Lightroom, and finally for publishing, Adobe Dreamweaver.
Encore is a DVD/BD authoring program, and other than creating a DVD Flash, it will be pretty limited, doing what you want to do. You would end up with a very Menu-heavy Project (only get 1GB of Menus and navigation), and then is more suited for Flash Video on a Web page. You could possibly construct something, but it would be rather of a kludge, and also fairly limited. With those other Adobe programs, you will have much more latitude and far greater flexibility.
Good luck,

I'm making photo gallery where photos will be loaded from external xml file but i have problem. I want to add an effect when photo is changing like on this site: http://www.studiomelon.pl/index.html#/1/ Could somebody help me with that?

Hi
I am new, not expert in flash. Knows only basic flash action
scripting, can any body guide me about dynamic flash photo gallery.
How can import images in flash from database.
please help me, I need that urgently, all suggestions are
welcome.
Regards
HarishHey harish ... unfortunately, developing with flash has some
serious trade-offs. The benefit is making a rich user experience.
However, data integration can often be a much more involved
process. Here are some suggestions for you.
With .net you could publish a webservice. Flash has built a
built in component for consuming webservices.
Your .net guy should know what a webservice is and how to
implement it.
Alternatively, you could have a server side script that, when
called, spits back an xml representation of the data you want to
put into flash.
for example:
<root>
<pic1 title="pic1Title" uri="/pics/pic1" ... />
<pic2 ... />
</root>
or however you want to form your xml.
Flash has built in support for consuming xml in this way
through the xmlconnector component or even just the xml
class.
It would be nice if there was a built in way to communicate
directly with databases.
Flash wanted to make their product vendor nuetral so as far
as I know, there is no way to make a connection directly with a
database with flash out of the box.
I know there are third party addons you can purchase that
will help you do that as another option as well.
One thing that has worked well for me in situations similar
to what you are discussing is using the apache xindice database
combined with the xml class in flash.
The xindice database is an open source project.
It is a database designed specifically to store xml
documents.
http://xml.apache.org/xindice/
I use java and xindice is built in java, but it has two
api's. One for developers writing in javaee and one for developers
writing in other languages.
Or hey, you could always drop a few grand on coldfusion :-)
Probably not the answers you want, but I hope it helps
anyway. -
Photo gallery with buttons and php.
I am relatively new to actions script, very new to as3, and brand new to php. I have tried very hard to figure all of this out via tutorials, studying the code, etc but now I'm running out of time to get this done so I need some help.
I am trying to make a photo gallery that functions as follows:
-the php gathers all of the filenames from a folder and returns it to flash
-an array of buttons is loaded onto the stage (one for each photo)
-flash then loads the first image into a movie clip.
-when the user clicks on button[i], image[i] loads in the movie clip.
-i also plan to incorporate what might happen if the number of photos exceeds the number of buttons that can fit nicely on the stage, like an arrow to go to another set of buttons. I haven't tried coding this yet since I was just trying to get the thing to work in general first. If anyone has ideas about this, let me know.
Please don't make fun of me too much. I know it's probably a mess.
Thank you so much in advance for your help.
Here's the php:

<?php
# Use "." if the get_files.php file resides in the same directory as files being read
# Otherwise you can change the path to whatever you like
# eg:
# Same Directory:
# $path = ".";
# Other Directory
# $path = "products/images/"
$path = "Photography/";
# Choosing what directory to read
if ($handle = opendir($path)) {
# Temporary array to hold image files
$imageFiles = array();
# Creating loop and assigning current file to $file temp variable
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
# Checking wheter or not the file is invisible and starts with a "."
$fileCheck = substr($file, 0, 1);
# Checking to make sure the files is either a (jpg, JPG, png, PNG)
$fileType = substr($file, -3);
# Making sure file is not invisible
if($fileCheck != ".")
# Making sure file is readable and dynamically loadable by Flash
if($fileType == "jpg" || $fileType == "JPG" || $fileType == "png" || $fileType == "PNG")
# Adding File to the image array
if($path != "."){
array_push($imageFiles, $path . $file);
}else{
array_push($imageFiles, $file);
# Sorting the files alphabetically
sort($imageFiles);
# Creating XML File output to be read by Flash
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";
# Root Node
echo "<image_list>";
# Creating child nodes for each image
foreach($imageFiles as $value)
# Pulling the Width and Height values for each file and adding them as attributes for the image node
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($value);
# Creating the image node
echo "<image width=\"$width\"" . " height=\"$height\">" . $value . "</image>";
echo "</image_list>";
# Closing the readdir function
closedir($handle);
And here's the as3:
//php photo section
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.*;
//load the php file
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Photography.php");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

var images:XML = new XML();
images.ignoreWhite = true;
images.addEventListener ('load', myLoader);
//define the images variable as an xml as the php file result
myRequest.data = images;
//outputting the filenames
function onLoaded(evt:Event):void {
trace("here we get the data back: "+myLoader.data);
//when the data is loaded, begin myRequest
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
myLoader.load(myRequest);
//array to call the images

photo_btn[i].y = 442.7;
photo_btn[i].x = (photo_btn[i-1].x + 18.6);
img_loader.load(imageArray[0]);As for AS3 part of it, I am not sure your code really works. There are syntax and logical errors there.
I think you need to take it step by step and accomplish several task in the following sequences:
1. Write code that loads XML correctly;
2. Write code that enables buttons;
3. Write code that will load images on button clicks.
The code below shows in principal what needs to be done in order to load XML and make the data in this XML available for further consumption. Also, by accomplishing this step you will iron out all the PHP vs Flash wrinkles including your XML.
Please note, I don't know your XML structure so all the parsing issues you need to resolve yourself.
Once you get handle on it - we, hopefully, will talk about steps 2 and 3.
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
var images:XML;
var myRequest:URLRequest;
var myLoader:URLLoader;
// list of image urls that will come from loaded XML
var imageList:XMLList;
myRequest = new URLRequest("Photography.php");
myLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
// suggested handler for unexpected errors - avoids some headaches
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
myLoader.load(myRequest);
// Note: all the listeners are removed
// it is always wise to remove listeners that are needed any longer
// to make objects eligible for arbage collection
function onLoadError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
trace(e.toString());
myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
function onFileLoaded(e:Event):void
myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
images = new XML(myLoader.data);
// only now xml is ready and you can start loading images

I'm having a problem with inserting a photo gallery created with Bridge
I sure could use some help.
Adobe Bridge - Why do I have a white bar on my page?
I am using windows vista, Dreamweaver cs4 and Adobe bridge to insert a photo gallery.
I am using an I-frame to embed a photo gallery that was created with Adobe Bridge CS4. Adobe Bridge instructed me to make the i-frame height = 75% of the width. The code is <iframe src="PhotoAlbum/index.html" width="900" height="675" frameborder="0"></iframe>
my css places the album in #photoalbum.
#photoAlbum contains the i-frame with the following properties:
#photoAlbum {
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
width: 900px;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
border-top-width: 2px;
border-top-style: groove;
border-top-color: #333;
I tried changing the width to 960, 900, 850 etc with no success.
I have tried making the background of #photoAlbum black with no success.
The link to the photo album is http://www.gigharborrealestate.com/smith/PhotoAlbum/index.html and shows no white bar.
The site that I am having problems with is http://www.gigharborrealestate.com/smith On the right side of the Point Richmond Photo Gallery is a white vertical bar. If you go to /PhotoAlbum/index.html there is no white bar.
Why does this bar show up when /PhotoAlbum/index.html is put into an I-frame? How can I get rid of the vertical bar?insert the following into your code,
scrolling="no"
it should look like this
<div id="gallery"><iframe src="IMAGES/Adobe Web Gallery/index.html" scrolling="no" width="730" height="555" frameborder="0" name="web_gallery" style="background-color: #D8D9B4"></iframe></div>
hope it helps, good luck -
Photo gallery / slideshow component using rss
hi.. i was wondering if anyone can throw some light on this
issue. i am thinking abt making a simple flash gallery / slideshow
that will get info from an rss feed (either from flickr or a
customized Gallery2.0 feed). there is already one at
www.afcomponents.com, but their support is slow and the product
layout is not customizable.
so, does anyone know if another such component? or even
better, a script that i can work on myself? any thoughts, comments
and ideas will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
-VHello lukeage7,
I've done a bunch of similar galleries. Are you familiar with
xml in Flash
at all? The easiest way is to create an empty movie symbol on
your stage
and give it an instance name (placeHolder) for example.
Create an xml file
with a list of your image names, and then use loadMovie to
load the first
node's image into your placeHolder movie symbol. Then all you
need to do
is create a var you can increment to load the 2nd image, 3rd
image, 4th image
etc. I can send you a sample if you want.
That said, I've also used this product and for the low price
it is pretty
robust:

How to transfer photo gallery with thumbnails from Fireworks?
Hi
I am trying to create a website. I am using Dreamweaver CS3

My question is how can I transfer the created gallery to
Dreamweaver CS3? I need the same template I used for my homepage
for my gallery?
Please help!

Resize your photos as needed to cut down their size use jpg
or png format.
save then in an outside folder.
next inside the directory you use for your web files create a
directory
with either the sme name as the outside folder or name
desired open that
directory.
Open up Dreamweaver and create a Blank HTML page.
Now go to Commands menu and and choose create web Photo
album...
next a menu will pop up and ask directory where images are
located. Then
will ask the destination directory browse to the new
directory you
created. You will also settings for Thumbnail size and
whether to use
captions if you do use captions it will use the file name of
of each
image and you will have to go in and edit the caption names
for the
photos as desired when everything is setup fireworks will
takeover and
create the album. it will create three subdirectories one
with the full
size photos , one with the thumbs, and one with the html
information for
each photo. Plus three other files in main directory one
being an html
file. once completed and Fireworks returns editing back to
Dreamweaver
close and don't save the blank html file. the index file
needed will be
created by Fireworks.
open the index file inside you album directory and edit
cations as needed.
Remember if you do this you'll need a total of 3 times files
of the
photos you use for example.
if you have 30 photos it will be a total of four directories
and 93 files.
for 20 it would be 63 files, for 10 33 files and so on.
If you need to add photos or take away photos the method is
to start
over from scratch and use you FTP program to do a recursive
delete on
the directory then re-upload.

Vista Photo Gallery Keywords & LR Tricksey
Assuming that LR 1 handles keywords the same way Beta 4.1 (Should I?), then separating two keywords with a forward slant bar in LR makes a "sub keyword" (What's the correct term for that?)in Photo Gallery. while separating them with a comma just adds two keywords. Is it like that in other organizers?
SecretPact:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions and in from the Darkside. . If the keywords are written into the IPTC fields in each photo then iPhoto can read them. But they have to be embedded into each file by Windows Photo Gallery. If you can go back to WPG and see if there's an option to write the metadata to the files and do it, you can reimport them and hopefully get the keywords to import. Try it on one or two photo that did not show the keywords first.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -

I think you need to take it step by step and accomplish several task in the following sequences:
1. Write code that loads XML correctly;
2. Write code that enables buttons;
3. Write code that will load images on button clicks.
The code below shows in principal what needs to be done in order to load XML and make the data in this XML available for further consumption. Also, by accomplishing this step you will iron out all the PHP vs Flash wrinkles including your XML.
Please note, I don't know your XML structure so all the parsing issues you need to resolve yourself.
Once you get handle on it - we, hopefully, will talk about steps 2 and 3.
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
var images:XML;
var myRequest:URLRequest;
var myLoader:URLLoader;
// list of image urls that will come from loaded XML
var imageList:XMLList;
myRequest = new URLRequest("Photography.php");
myLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
// suggested handler for unexpected errors - avoids some headaches
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
myLoader.load(myRequest);
// Note: all the listeners are removed
// it is always wise to remove listeners that are needed any longer
// to make objects eligible for arbage collection
function onLoadError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
trace(e.toString());
myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
function onFileLoaded(e:Event):void
myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
images = new XML(myLoader.data);
// only now xml is ready and you can start loading images
imageList= images.pic; -
I have created an Iweb photo gallery on my website, and I wish to add links to each individual photo so that when a person clicks for the full view of the photo a link will appear somewhere on the page. I want each link to be specific to each photo. I have tried adding captions and making them links, but they don't work, they're un-clickable. Is there any possible way to do this in Iweb?
There are a number of ways you could add ecommerce to your site. I'm not familiar with the option but if you do a search for ecommerce in this forum you'll get several topics on the subject. Roddy has some very good information at this http://www.musicformusicians.com site.
