Need help with image slide show using xml

I have a flash document that pulls up images using xml but I
would like for the images to also link to different urls and to be
able to change these links in the XML document. I have included my
code
Also my xml file looks simular to this
<images>
<pic>
<image>images/1.jpg</image>
</pic>
<images>
Please if anyone can help me that would be great. Once again
I would like for these images to be able to link to a url and to
read the url in my XML document.

Here's my quick suggestion:
Add a <link> child element to your <pic> elements
- each <link> would be a sibling of each <image>, like
this:
<pic>
<image>filename.jpg</image>
<link>
http://www.example.com</link>
</pic>
Then, in your loadXML function, add this:
link = []
for(...){
link
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNode[2].firstChild.nodeValue
Finally, in each function where you call picture.loadMovie(),
add a line below it:
picture.onRelease = function(){
getURL(link

  • Need help with Flash Slide Show

    Hello, Flash friends.
    I recently put together a Flash photo album for a client of
    mine. She wants to be able to upload new images, so I created it
    with XML using the following action-script:
    function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
    xmlNode = this.firstChild;
    image = [];
    description = [];
    total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
    for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
    image
    = xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
    description
    = xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
    firstImage();
    } else {
    content = "file not loaded!";
    xmlData = new XML();
    xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
    xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
    xmlData.load("images.xml");
    listen = new Object();
    listen.onKeyDown = function() {
    if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
    prevImage();
    } else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
    nextImage();
    Key.addListener(listen);
    previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
    prevImage();
    next_btn.onRelease = function() {
    nextImage();
    p = 0;
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
    loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
    preloader._visible = true;
    if (loaded != filesize) {
    preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
    } else {
    preloader._visible = false;
    if (picture._alpha<100) {
    picture._alpha += 10;
    function nextImage() {
    if (p<(total-1)) {
    p++;
    if (loaded == filesize) {
    picture._alpha = 0;
    picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
    desc_txt.text = description[p];
    picture_num();
    function prevImage() {
    if (p>0) {
    p--;
    picture._alpha = 0;
    picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
    desc_txt.text = description[p];
    picture_num();
    function firstImage() {
    if (loaded == filesize) {
    picture._alpha = 0;
    picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
    desc_txt.text = description[0];
    picture_num();
    function picture_num() {
    current_pos = p+1;
    pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
    As you can see, the images can only be viewed by clicking a
    "next" or "previous" button.
    Well, my client has since decided that she would like to drop
    the buttons and have the images automatically change from one to
    another while the user sits back and watches. This seems like such
    an easy code to add, but I am a novice at this, and I cannot find
    any forums or tutorials that give a proper code which I may copy
    and paste into this pre-existing code.
    Can anyone offer a suggestion?
    Thank you!!!!!

  • Need help with setting a variable using xml

    So I am trying to import in XML and this is working fine, But
    once in flash I need to reference this variable in a later script.
    Here is what I got.
    function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
    /////this is the variable, which is working, it pulls the
    info from the xml document properly.
    var node1 =
    this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
    ////another variable, etc...
    var node2 =
    this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
    /////when traced it outputs the proper value.
    trace(node1);
    ////////does not work here though.
    xmlData = new XML();
    xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
    xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
    xmlData.load("co.xml");
    var latmin = 37;
    var latmax = 41;
    var lonmin = -109;
    var lonmax = -102;
    this.geoPlotter_gp.setRange(latmin, latmax, lonmin, lonmax);
    this.geoPlotter_gp.setNodeSymbol("geoPloterNodeSymbol");

    ////////////////This is where I need to now use the variables

    this.geoPlotter_gp.addNode(node2);// Denver
    /////any ideas all? I am sure this is something simple...I am
    just overlooking something.

    var node1 is a local variable to the loadXML function and not
    visible
    outside the function.
    Place var node1 on the timeline say in Frame 1 and it will be
    visible to all
    functions on the timeline.

  • Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

    Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

    Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4))    I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

  • Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

    Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of.  I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our  "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit"  issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
    We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
    I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
    You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
    (and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks',  "Adobe phone-in experiences")
    Thank You,

    Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
    So  I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself,  I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products"  to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
    OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi  & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any  "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE"  button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is,  how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
    So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a  " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
    So after thinking this all out,  and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
    Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year,  I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
    A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however,  if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
    I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
    OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending"  with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly,  and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add)..,  except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form....  Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of.  First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
    Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
    It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time)  of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one,  basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it...  and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
    Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly,  the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4)  If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
    Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that?  Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

  • Need help with ext. SWF and XML

    I'm trying to create an External SWF to load into my main
    site (photography).
    Home | Portfolio | Published Work | Bio | Contact
    The SWF I want to load externally is Portfolio because it has
    5 sections
    Those 5 sections are:
    -Editorial
    -Adventure
    -Fly Fishing
    -Multimedia
    -Weddings
    I'm looking to keep this dynamic as possible, but I'm one of
    those guys who doesn't write code from scratch, but knows AS well
    enough to modify a base or a generic template if ever given. It
    would be easier to use one subsection as an example, which could be
    applied to all others.
    e.g. "Fly Fishing" 1-Main container; 5-10 thumbnails (1
    dyanamic thumbnailcontainer)
    - I don't know XML (but can modify it). basically having an
    ID tag for each image, possibly dynamically generate a thumbnail
    too. Also have a spot for dynamic text to load in (captions with
    multiple text lines for images upon onRelease - maybe this could be
    it's own MC that loads on top of the main photo container)
    - on (release) on a thumbnail: there would be a little
    information icon that would appear. If you mouse over, it would
    overlay a layer over that specific ID photo, and the text appear.
    RollOut it would fade out the layer above that specific ID photo.
    - Transition: FadeOut/Blur/Exposure Blur, something
    interesting to that nature.
    - Thumbnails: is it just easier to create thumbnail images
    manually, and just create a separate container?
    - Image folders: I would imagine each section would have
    it's own watch folder. For example "Fly Fishing" would be a folder
    "/swfImg_flyFishing/", but perhaps having one XML file.
    - XML file details
    id
    location
    caption summary
    title
    As you can see, if I had one template to build off of, I
    could repeat it self for the others. I need help and if there is a
    flash component (free or purchase) that does at least 70% of what I
    need, please share information. thank you!Portfolio

    I know doing a pushback to the client requires Flex Data
    Services, but since I don't use FDS I can't tell you exactly how.
    But look in the documentation about "pushing" data to the client.
    Once you've figured out how to do that, you can trigger that push
    once you've finished editing the xml file. You may want to ask over
    in the FDS forum.

  • Need help fast - iPhoto slide show on Windows ?

    Hi,
    I am really needing your help with this. I have created a slideshow in iPhoto for a funeral service for our uncle which is being held this evening. However, I just found out that they need to view this slideshow on a Windows computer.
    HELP !! I tried exporting the slide show to iDVD but just want to burn a DVD that will play this looping slide show along with the iTunes playlist they already have set up on this Windows laptop.
    Do I have to go through all the theme stuff in iDVD just to create this slideshow that will keep looping ? I don't want it to go back to the chapter menu everytime it finishes.
    I am under a really tight time line to get this done...please help.
    Thanks !

    I'm not an expert on this, but...
    Have you tried exporting the slideshow to a Quicktime Movie? (Select the slideshow, then File>Export). You could burn that to a disc just as a file and play it in Quicktime on the Windows PC. Quicktime has a loop function, so you wouldn't have to mess with chapter menus, etc.
    Maybe someone with more experience has a better idea.
    Good Luck,
    Karen

  • Elements 8 -help with outputting slide shows to File?

    Can anyone help with saving a slide show in created in Elements to a file on my laptop? I know a WMV file is created, which option should I select to save in UK widescreen format 16:9?

    Bob, thanks for prompt answer.

  • Need help with image upload and preview display

    hi guys,
    I'm trying to upload image and then display it as a preview, but when upload form submits to the same page image placeholder does not refreshes it's source and displays the same image as before.
    Image 4.jpg already exists.
    I upload it with nameConflict = "overwrite"
    upload form points to the same page, therefore page reloads
    In IE image placeholder does not display the new image, but shows the old one until I refresh the page with F5 and resend information, however if checked, image in the file is already different.
    In Firefox, sometimes it works and image refreshes, sometimes not.
    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    cheers,
    Simon

    Hi Daverms,
    With your code you suggest to not only upload the image but make a database entry too. However my intention is to firstly upload the file, and show a preview. Then if user is satisfied with what he sees, he presses "aprove" button and therefore makes a datase entry. Then the photo number will increase by one.
    Until user is not aproving the photo he can upload any image again and again, but the new image will be always given the same name (example 4.jpg) and overwriting the old one.
    I believe the problem persists because browsers are loading image with the same name from the cache, and not from the actual location. Therefore when I refresh the page it catches the correct image.
    If I follow your code, every time I upload the image, name of it is different, therefore browser cannot find it in the cache and is forced to load one from the server.
    I wonder is there any way to avoid this cache problem?
    cheers,
    Simon

  • Need Help With Image Gallery

    Hey all, I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button.  I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. I'm not sure how to load it from a flash file and I know there is work that has to be done outside of flash like in the root folder. All I need is  for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button. If anyone could explain how to use shadowbox in lamens terms or knows how to easily script a gallery that would be amazing.

    What script version is your target? AS2 or AS3

  • Need help with Image refreshing using the 1408

    I'm trying to develop a VI that allows user control over the image refreshing. In the end I would like something that allows the user to view a live or somewhat close to live image from the camera, and then when they desire freeze the image. The catch is I would also like the images to be color, and to allow the user to again view a live image if they wish.
    Essentially I want the user to be able to focus the camera and set light levels while viewing a live image on the screen (again flicker is ok, just as long as it has a decent refresh rate). And then when ready freeze the image and use the last image captured (the frozen one) for some analysis purposes.

    The simplest way to do this is to put the IMAQ Snap vi inside a while loop. Initialize your image and IMAQ outside the loop. Create an "Acquire" boolean control on your front panel. Put the Snap & display inside a case statement so that it only acquires a new image if the Acquire button is in the "On" position. This will give you a pretty smooth update rate and is very easy to program.
    If you want an update rate closer to the frame rate of the camera, you can set up an IMAQ Grab outside the loop, then read the latest image and display it in the case statement.

  • Need help with image

    I sure could use a buddy who has Skype or something who I can shoot questions like this to.  My designer wants a retainer of $3,000 but I can do most of my own stuff in Photoshop.  Sometimes I get stumped though, and just need a 30 second tutorial. So I am coming here. 
    I basically need to figure out how to change this image:
    But along with that comes figuring out how to change it from a square image to one with a rounded top and bottom-right corner.   Also a 2 pixel shadow going up the right side and along the bottom.  I can manually draw in those two pixels easily enough.  But the corners look terrible when I try to manually do it.
    Is there an easier way?  I have been cropping the new image to the proper size, and then drawing in the two pixel fade on the side and bottom.  Then trying to pixel by pixel create the rounded edges.
    Its not looking natural. 
    Before you say "Its a drop shadow!" please remember, in order for me to copy that exact drop shadow, I would need to know all their settings, colors, pixel widths, etc.  All I have is a flat, finished image, so I have none of that information.  Plus, I dont know how to do a drop shadow on a curved corner, which deletes the original squared corner on the image.  :-\
    If you give instructions, please be as clear and detailed as possible. This is why I prefer a chat medium for this type of thing. 
    Thanks much to anyone who can assist.

    Here is a TUTORIAL on doing rounded corners.  Hope it helps.   Could not get insert link to work so try this.  http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2 F%2Fmatthom.com%2Farchive%2F2004%2F09%2F10%2Ffast-rounded-corners-in-photoshop&ei=q2l8T_T8 LcKZiQKQnt3uDQ&usg=AFQjCNEsGI12k8Ck-GiuIWMUOLC6m3xoYw
    Don't know what magnification you are using on this image, but the fact you have pixels shows it will be difficult to make a nice rounded edge.
    You might need a higher resolution image, or at least convert from 8 bits to 16 bits to do edits, then change back to 8 RGB to save.  Beware not all toolsand saves will work in 16 bit.

  • Really need help with this, can't use safari on my ipod

    I clicked on a link on a website for my school, and then it opened in another page. idk if i clicked something or this happened on its own, but then a video tried to open from the image. I've messed around with my settings, and i can't seem to be able to get a youtube video to open on my ipod if it's from a website, i always have to go directly from youtube to find anything. So it says "could not load video", the only option is to click okay, so I do, and then it gives me the main ipod youtube page, with history and search and all that stuff. I give up and decide to just look at something else, and click safari, except it goes straight to the image, which goes straight to the unloadable video on another program, and then i have to close the page. It goes in circles, but it means that safari is unusable, and my computer is broken, so i really need it for internet.
    Also, is there a way to make youtube videos viewable from a website link?
    And why, when I search up a popular song on youtube on my ipod, and type in that i want the lyric video, i only get live versions, and there is never any lyric videos, and i usually detest live versions of songs?? and then when i search the same thing on someone's computer, i get my lovely lyric videos? Is Youtube angry at Apple or something?
    aand why were the older ipods less crash-prone?
    answers are very helpful, especially for the first question, because i am clueless about technoloy. Honestly, it took me a year to learn how to turn on my computer....

    A lote of sitesuse the Flash version of YourTube. no iOS devices support flash. The you have to either use the YourTube app or Safari to go to YouTube since Safari tells the YouTube site to use HTML5.
    For other problems withwith Safari try going to Settins>Safari and clear Histor, Cookies and Data.
    Also reset the iPod. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Need help with a filter to use in Photoshop CS5

    I am a novice so please be  patient.  Over the past 15 years or so I have been using a simple filter  that I created in Filter Factory to do some analysis on aerial  photographs.  I am way behind on updates (currently using Photoshop CS  (version 8)).  I want to upgrade and am using a trial of CS5.  After  talking with customer support I've found there is no way to use this  filter in CS5 and Filter Factory is no longer supported in the Photoshop  suite.  Can someone help me to create the same filter in Pixel Bender  to use in Photoshop CS5?  I will share the details of the filter if  someone responds.
    Thanks!

    Is the result a one channel image? The Pixel Bender language currently supports one and two channel images, in addition to three and four channel images, but unfortunately the tools do not. You should be able to fake the one channel output by marking only a single channel of a three or four channel image. In any case, give the filter, below, a try. It may not do exactly what you want but it should get you most of the way there. You'll want to duplicate it and modify the arithmetic to satisfy the second filter algorithm once you've got the filter tuned to fit your needs.
