Scrolling Thumbnail Panel Problems
I'm creating a personal portfolio website in flash. the
address is
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~motiv8/AlexBimpson/AlexBimpson%20New/
On the "photo" page, by clicking on view portfolio a
scrolling humbnail gallery appears, however as you can see it moves
extremely jerkily.
This seems to be because the "photo" page is a seperate flash
movie loaded into the main navigation page, a parent swf file,
hence you see the loading animations when you switch pages on the
website.
If you access the photo swf file alone the scrollbar seems to
work fine. its address is
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~motiv8/AlexBimpson/AlexBimpson%20New/flash/photo/photo.swf
the coding for the panel is taken from a video tutorial, and
seems to work fine. i have displayed this below
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if (_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax ||
_ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
if(panel._x >= 214) {
panel._x = 214;
if(panel._x <= -1272) {
panel._x = -1272;
var xdist = _xmouse - 384;
panel._x += -xdist / 8;
where 'panel' is the mask object used to create the bounding
area for the thumbnail panel and 'stroke' is a surrounding outline,
hidden as white colour.
Is anyone able to tell me why loading one movie into another
is having this effect, and how I go about overcoming this problem?
I've noticed that the panel seems 2 work with the mouse below
the thumbnail panel in the parent site, so it all seems a little
buggy - im guessing there's something that needs changing in the
referencing for the stroke and panel, but as of yet I havent found
a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks very much
alex
ok, i think ive figured out where the problem lies, but not
how to solve it.
the movie "stroke" is used there because apparently a flash
scrollPanel does not recognise button actions. Therefore, when you
are over the panel, it is no longer set as a scrollPanel. however,
once you move outside the stroke, it will again.
the boundaries of the stroke are gathered using the getbounds
function, as in this code
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if (_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax ||
_ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
however, because this movie is loaded within another swf,
something is going wrong with getting the bounds. at the moment it
uses _root to reference the stroke, but this doesnt seem 2 work
when loaded within the parent movie. I've tried using _parent but
this has no effect.
i guess i need 2 change that 2 something else???

XML scrolling thumbnail, image loader, & Buttons [halfway works]
Intro:
I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.
For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.
I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline:
Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.
Issue #1
As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...
1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.
[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.
Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.
[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"]
[also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
Issue #2
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.
However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]
With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:
Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.
Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.
I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science. [yes, for many its not...but my brain just does not operate that route despite all the tutorials thrown at me.]
Again, it would seem that there would be a button panel where you could drag options like scrolling thumbnail slider, loader, and then parameters would come up. [much like Apples iWeb. - but before the argument of one being pro and the other for non-pros, I see it differently. Software should not be the limiting factor in how flexible you can design, or rather ones lack of programming shouldnt be. With all the talented, and I say this in all humility and honesty, programmers working for Adobe, Im sure something could be programmed like what Im asking for.]
note: Director is a good example, back in 1997 I knew nothing of multimedia and in one week I had assembled a portfolio, clicking buttons, speech, movies, and all. - and no, I dont have the money to buy more software!
At this moment I am at the mercy of someone who reads code like its a nighttime tale they are telling their kids, and who can see the exact issue I have and can share the appropriate, correct code. [as I have noticed, it has to be on target - naturally - but this target changes with just a slight change in the design.]
Thank you,
peace
Dalen
p.s.
The actionscript: [note: This is only the current working/good code that Im trying to get the buttons to call up.]

DalenThe issues with the buttons calling up the scrolling thumbnail panel have been resolved, as well as keeping the buttons in their hit state once clicked, thanks to Rob.
Those that have been following this thread, or stumble upon it in their searches later, may appreciate to see the final solution to this particular issue.
[Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with a url in the future to show the site in operation, which may help somebody with their project in the future if its set up similarly.]
Alas, it would be nice if future versions of flash had a more direct, flexible, user friendly method for creating navigation.
[We may see development beyond the flash ads which everyone seems to loathe... and more creativity with flash in terms of games, web interactivity, & animation.

Of note is the change to how the movie clips are measured... this change in and of itself has really helped to make the thumbnail panels operation more efficient.

Slowing Down Scrolling Thumbnails
Hello everyone,
I've put together one of those great masked scrolling
thumbnail panels by working through a tutorial. I'd like to slow it
down a bit, could someone suggest how this is done. Here's the
code:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax ||
_ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
if(panel._y >= 60) {
panel._y = 60;
if(panel._y <= -1000) {
panel._y = -1000;
var xdist = _ymouse - 250;
panel._y += Math.round(-xdist / 7);
Thanks.
Darren.>>panel._y += Math.round(-xdist / 7);
I'd start here, by dividing by a number greater than 7.

Scrolling Thumbnails - Dynamic List
Can you point me to a source for creating a scrolling
thumbnail movie where the images in the movie are either populated
from a database, or from a file structure?OK, so I've tracked down the code that's causing it. I use
attachMovie to attach the thumbnails to their holder clip. What is
causing the glitch with the gradient mask is the code on the border
of the thumbnail. The problem is the _visible=true code. It's in
onEnterFrame, so _visible=true is called on each frame iteration,
and each time it's called, it applies the mask again (resulting in
a solid block because the gradient mask is applied so many times.)
If I just remove all the _visible references, it works fine, so it
seems like a bug with gradient masks when you set masked content's
_visible state. Here is the code on my thumbnail's border: (I
realize there are many ways to do this more efficiently, but the
point is that calling _visible=true shouldn't reapply the gradient
mask to the masked contents.)
onClipEvent (load) {
_alpha = 0;
_visible = false;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (curProjectThumb == _parent.id) {
_visible = true; // every time this is called, it reapplies
the gradient mask to this thumbnail
if (_alpha<100) {
_alpha += 20;
} else {
_alpha = 100;
} else {
if (_alpha>0) {
_alpha -= 20;
} else {
_alpha = 0;
_visible = false; -

Hello:
Does anyone know how I can create scrolling thumbnail images that then link to an enlarged version of the image...without using frames?
take a look at this link:

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?
Thanks

Shortcut to show the Page Thumbnail panel
I want to know if there's a keyboard shortcut equivalent to clicking the Page Thumbnails button to show the Page Thumbnails panel, and if so - what is it?
I'm constantly clicking the Page Thumbs button. A keystroke would be great to have.
BEFORE CLICKING:
AFTER CLICKING:Hi Mathias,
Try CTRL + Shift + F5 (Win) or Command + Shift + F5 (Mac)

Changing the scroll thumbnail size
When I click in the scroll bar, a small thumbail appears (which I call the scroll thumbnail because I don't know what it is actually called). This allows me to scroll up and down, giving me a preview of what is on the page that I will see when I release the click.
Is there any way to make this thumbnail larger?No. This doesn't work. The moment I release the left mouse button, the thumbnail disappears. I cannot make the thumbnail appear unless the left mouse button is held down.
See attachment: This is the thumbnail I want to make bigger -
Slider with scrolling thumbnails
Is there a way within Muse to have a slider/gallery with scrolling thumbnails? Currently I am using a third party gallery to accomplish this, but I'd rather stay within Muse itself.
You can try using compositions and then slideshow within composition.
In composition target container insert the slideshow and as set of slides create different slideshows for separate composition containers.
It would similar effect.

Horizontal Scrolling Thumbnails Slideshow (Are these possible in Muse CC 2014)
Good afternoon Muse Forum: My name is Ira Bitner from NYC U.S.A.
How are you? I have a question regarding slideshow and thumbnails in MUSE CC 2014.
Q: In Muse is it possible to have a Slideshow with Scrolling Horizontal Thumbnails? In other words is it possible to build a slideshow where, for instance, maybe 30 thumbnails are used but only 5 or so are visible in a horizontal row under the main ("hero" image) and when an arrow is clicked the thumbnails advance horizontally to the left bringing up the new group of thumbnails that were, "hidden" on the original horizontal row? This allows the site to contain many more thumbnails than can "fit" on the page and at the same time not cause the extra thumbnails to be made to be stacked vertically all on the same page seen all at once?
This is a very popular way to show a slideshow that advances the images. I have spent all night and hours and hours researching Muse in the forums, videos, tutorials web-wide and have not been able to find a way to achieve this kind of slideshow. I would have thought the actual slideshow widget would have made it very evident if this was actually possible to build in Muse. Please help. If you need any website link as an example of the slideshow advancing thumbnail horizontally I'll add one, but it is very common and I can't believe Muse would not allow this to be built.Replied here :

XML based scrolling thumbnails
IMPORTANT: My first time with flash and actionscript but am a computer science student so code is ok.
that said I wanna build a xml based scrolling thumbnails in an horizontal bar.
each pic should have some effect when the mouse is over it +
the scrolling bar should scrol left or right depending on the mouse pos+
the bar stops when am over a pic (with some conditions)
I think this i all
PS: I have only two days to do it :s
I know it would be better if I do it from scratch this is how I do normaly but here am completly snowed under
plz help thxYour best bet for getting a solution handed to you is to do a Google search for "AS3 scrolling menu tutorial" Since code isn't an issue for you, you should be able to modify whatever you find to suit your detail needs once you understand how it is designed.

Help with a scrolling flash panel
Hello, Ive used the excellent tutorial to create a scrolling thumb panel (http://library.creativecow.net/articles/brimelow_lee/scrolling_thumbnail_panel/video-tutor ial.php)
It works brilliantly and I have movie thumbs linking to a flash player. It all works fine, what Im needing help with is to change the scrolling.
At current it scrolls up and down according to where I have set the 'line', I would like it to scroll up and down near the top and the bottom, rather than all the time (effectively creating a dead zone in the middle). I cant figure out how to change the code to get this to behave as required.
Please Help!
Below is the code used:
