Xml gallery with createEmptyMovieClip and attachMovie

how i can make it so that flash loads in the xml document
containing my images, create an empty movieclip for each image, and
actually display that image from the xml file in the newly created
empty movie clip.
Please if some one knows..
I'm new in Flash and Actioscript.
Thanks.

How I remove previous MC created with createmovieClip() and attachMovie()

Hello.
i have another problem today, :-)
my little application contain a combobox and a MC "filmstrip" in my _root. the combobox work with an xml file containing links to other xml files. Inside my MC "filmstrip" i have a script loading with a for loop the xml file selected in the combobox on the _root .
In this loop i createEmptyMovieClip an attachMovies with the data of the xml selected.
evrything works exept that evrytime i change my selection in the combobox it load the data on top of the previous load.
I would like to delete the previous load before load the new one... if someone can help me???
On my scene 1st frame i have only a code for scroll the movieclip filmstrip but i think is not nescessary that i show it.
here is the code inside the MC fimlstrip (sorry but i put all the code). i attach an example aswell
var link1:Array = new Array();
var url:String;
var theUrl:String;
var whoOn:Number;
whoOn = 1;

Xml gallery with thumbnails & next/previous buttons.

hallo all the wise people,
sorry to bother you, but i'm kind of desperate, and nobody around to ask, so....
i've spend now three full days editing an xml gallery... to my needs, and always goes messy, so maybe it's time give up and make my own from the scratch, or looking from a one closer to my needs =/ (helpless).
could anyone help - maybe any of you by some chance knows a link as close as possible to tutorial/source as3 fla to sthg as close as possible to this:
a) xml gallery
b) thumbnails
c) when thumbnail clicked a big picture shows
d) next/previous buttons possible
otherwise, i can also post the code of my gallery where i absolutely can't add next/previous buttons without making a big mess =/
i will be totally youbie doubie grateful for any help... any, if you only know any good link, 'll try to fugure out a tutorial or edit the source myself....
thanks in advance

heyyyo wise one,
at least this is really nice of you to ask - this gallery really makes me by now feel twice as blond as i am 8-0. but this is kinda really nested.
the xml structure goes like this (this is easy and more or, less standard)(Caption is neglectable, probabaly i will not even display it, unless i have some extra time):
<MenuItem>
         <picnum>01</picnum>
         <thumb>thumbs/Image00001.jpg</thumb>
         <picture>Image00001.jpg</picture>
   <Caption>Fist Title</Caption>
</MenuItem>
uaaha, then the as goes. there is the URLloader, but also two different loaders inside (one for the thumbnails, one for the big picture). and this is all inside a for each loop -eh... i was always trying to change the pictLdr behavior - the loader, that loads the big picture.
anyway the URL loader, and the main function, which is attached to it go like this:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "gallery_config.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
// Create the xmlLoaded function
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
// Place the xml data into the myXML object
    myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
    // Initialize and give var name to the new external XMLDocument
var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
// Ignore spacing around nodes
    xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
// Define a new name for the loaded XML that is the data in myLoader
    var menuXML:XML = XML(myLoader.data);
// Parse the XML data into a readable format
    xmlDoc.parseXML(menuXML.toXMLString());
    // Access the value of the "galleryFolder" node in our external XML file
for each (var galleryFolder:XML in myXML..galleryFolder)
   // Access the value of the "pagenum" node in our external XML file
           var galleryDir:String = galleryFolder.toString();
//trace (galleryDir);
//trace (galleryFolder);//output taki sam jak powyżej
// inicjuję variable flag, która bedzie trzsymac nazwę klikniętego thumbnail
var flag2:String = null;
// Set the index number of our loop, increments automatically
var i:Number = 0;
// Run the "for each" loop to iterate through all of the menu items listed in the external XML file
for each (var MenuItem:XML in myXML..MenuItem)
// Access the value of the "picnum" node in our external XML file
    var picnum:String = MenuItem.picnum.toString();
// Access the value of the "pagetext" node in our external XML file
    var Caption:String = MenuItem.Caption.toString();
// Access the value of the "thumb" node in our external XML file
    var thumb:String = MenuItem.thumb.toString();
// Access the value of the "pagepicture" node in our external XML file
    var picture:String = MenuItem.picture.toString();
// Just some trace I used for testing, tracing helps debug and fix errors
//trace(picnum);
var thumbLdr:Loader = new Loader();
    var thumbURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(galleryDir + thumb);
    thumbLdr.load(thumbURLReq);
// Create MovieClip holder for each thumb
var thumb_mc = new MovieClip();
thumb_mc.addChild(thumbLdr);
addChildAt(thumb_mc, 1);
// Create the rectangle used for the clickable button we will place over each thumb
var rect:Shape = new Shape;
rect.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
rect.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x999999);
rect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 80, 80);
// Create MovieClip holder for each button, and put that rectangle in it,
// make button mode true and set it to invisible
var clip_mc = new MovieClip();
clip_mc.addChild(rect);
addChild(clip_mc);
clip_mc.buttonMode = true;
clip_mc.alpha = .0;
     // The following four conditionals create the images where the images will live on stage
// by adjusting math through each row we make sure they are laid out good and not stacked
// all on top of one another, or spread out in one long row, we need 4 rows, so the math follows
if (picnum < "05")
       line1xpos = line1xpos + distance; // These lines place row 1 on stage
    clip_mc.x = line1xpos;
    clip_mc.y = yPlacement;
    thumb_mc.x = line1xpos;
    thumb_mc.y = yPlacement;
   else if (picnum > "04" && picnum < "11")
    line2xpos = line2xpos + distance; // These lines place row 2 on stage
    clip_mc.x = line2xpos;
    clip_mc.y = 86;
    thumb_mc.x = line2xpos;
    thumb_mc.y = 86;
   else if (picnum > "10" && picnum < "14")
    line3xpos = line3xpos + distance; // These lines place row 3 on stage
    clip_mc.x = line3xpos;
    clip_mc.y = 172;
    thumb_mc.x = line3xpos;
    thumb_mc.y = 172;
   else if (picnum > "13" && picnum < "21")
   line4xpos = line4xpos + distance; // These lines place row 4 on stage
   clip_mc.x = line4xpos;
   clip_mc.y = 258;
   thumb_mc.x = line4xpos;
   thumb_mc.y = 258;
   // And now we create the pic loader for the larger images, and load it into "pictLdr"
   var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
   var pictURL:String = picture;
      var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(galleryDir + picture);
   //var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("gallery/Image00004.jpg");sprawia,ze zawsze wyswitla sie jeden obrazek
      pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
   // Access the pic value and ready it for setting up the Click listener, and function
      clip_mc.clickToPic = pictLdr;
   // Access the text value and ready it for setting up the Click listener, and function
   clip_mc.clickToText = Caption;
   //var instName:String = flag();
   // Add the mouse event listener to the moviClip button for clicking
      clip_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clipClick);
      // Set the function for what happens when that button gets clicked
   function clipClick(e:Event):void
     // Populate the parent clip named frameSlide with all of the necessary data
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.gotoAndPlay("show"); // Makes it appear(slide down)
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.caption_txt.text = e.target.clickToText; // Adds the caption
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.frame_mc.addChild(e.target.clickToPic); // Adds the big pic
   } // This closes the "for each" loop
} // And this closes the xmlLoaded function
and the effect looks like this (it's a sketch, so big pictures are loaded randomly, don;t put too much attention to it): http://bangbangdesign.pl/xmlGallery/gallery29.swf
but i guess it's a terrible stuff to go through all this. i would be totallly satisfied with a likng to a good tutorial to do it from scratch, or just a hint where to start rebuilding this.
+ in any case i send greetinngs to whereever you are =]

Tutorial for a Spry photo gallery with thumbs and buttons ???

Anyone know of a a tutorial for building a Spry photo gallery with both thumbnails and next, previous, stop and play buttons(functions) ???
Like the ones on Adobe's Photo Gallery demos; http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/pe_gallery.html
Adobe show the source for their Photo Gallery Demos, but that doesn't help me much ... I need a prober tutorial that tells me how to do : )
The only tutorial that I've been able to find, is one for Dreamweaver 8, without buttons - I'm looking for a updated version.
I appreciate any help very much. Thank you.

Just Google for the Spry photo gallery and you might find
http://cates-associates.net/tutorials/Tutorial-CS3-Spry.html
or even a few others.
Happy Sprying

Photo gallery with thumbnail and caption

Hi,
am looking for a good photo gallery extention or application with thumbnails and captions, preferbly free or willing to pay for good working application, please help - would like to incorporate into website gallery page
thank you

hello,
There is a web photo gallery extension called:
Web Photo Album 2.1 for Dreamweaver MX
You will need a copy of Fireworks to run it though.
Sometimes, I use Photoshop's automate web galelry and then use that file inside of my site.
If have to incorporate it into an existing page, I just copy and paste the code.

Overlay: image gallery with swipe and page control

Hi,
I'm in my first approach with DPS and I can't understand how to create an image gallery swipe controlled with the page control on the bottom part (page control is rapresented by those little circles on the bottom part of the image that shows how many images are shown by the gallery. See this image for a page control example: http://gtiapps.com/wp-content/gallery/p681_gallery/page1.png ).
I tried to read the documentation and the DPS tips but I can't see this simple kind of gallery.
I'm sure I already saw this kind of gallery in DPS-like apps like Wired, I can't believe is some kind of html based gallery (and if it is, anybody could link me a page where I can get the code snippet for that?).
I'm using inDesign CS6 on OsX.
Please give me some suggestions to get this interaction,
thank you in advance,
Bye!

It's definitely HTML. Here is a list of a whole bunch of them...
http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2012/12/jquery-carousel.html
I'm a big fan of roundabout at fredhq.com
You can also make something similar using buttons, and an MSO, not quite the same, but if you don't want to delve into HTML, it will do the job. The dots on the bottom can be buttons. I don't have a machine handy to try and see if you can make the MSO swipe blue, but it is worth a try.
A note about using HTML in a folio. Make sure you have the HTML in its own folder, with all the assets needed, but nothing else. Anything else in that folder will also be included in the folio. (I.e. if you just put the HTML in the folder with your indesign doc, when you included the web overlay, the indesign doc, would also be uploaded. Clear folder organization is key for dps projects.

XML tag with attributes and one value via XSU

<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE NET-PRICE="0" CURRENCY="USD">9.99</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
Without an object type, I can just create tags like this
XML3
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>9.99</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
(with no attributes, but a single value) via the followig statement
SELECT sys_xmlgen ('9.99',
sys.xmlgenformattype.createFormat('PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE')
).getClobVal() "XML3"
FROM DUAL;
Having an object "productlisteprice_type", defined by
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE productlisteprice_type AS OBJECT
"@NET-PRICE" VARCHAR2(10),
"@CURRENCY" VARCHAR2(10),
"PRICE" VARCHAR2(20)
I just get XML like this
XML2
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE NET-PRICE="0" CURRENCY="USD">
<PRICE>9.99</PRICE>
</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
(with attributes, but no direct value beneath the "PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE" tag) via the following statement
SELECT sys_xmlgen ( productlisteprice_type(0,'USD','9.99'),
sys.xmlgenformattype.createFormat('PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE')
).getClobVal() "XML2"
FROM DUAL;
Not what I need :-(
Are there any possibilities in XSU to get the needed XML code? Or do I have to do some post-production via XSQL???
Another question: Is it possible to use specific keywords like "online" as XML tagnames, via objects? The objects don't allow "online" as a field name...
Thanks in advance,
Holger

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();
//define images variable as an xml file
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
var imageArray:Array //= NewArray();
var listLength:Number;
var il:XMLList = images.data //xml.images;
listLength=il.length();
var i:Number
var photo_btn:Array = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < listLength; i++); {
imageArray[i] = il[i].pic //xml.images[i].pic;
if (photo_btn[i].mouseDown == true) {
img_loader.load(imageArray[i])
if (i == 0) {
photo_btn[i].y = 422.7;
photo_btn[i].x = 411.5
else if (i > 0 && i < 24); {
photo_btn[i].y = 422.7;
photo_btn[i].x = (photo_btn[i-1].x + 18.6);
if (i > 24 && i < listLength); {
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
     imageList= images.pic;

Cannot see context menu for XML messages with Safari and Google Chrome

Hi All,
I am unable to see Context menu with the option of Create, Edit, Delete etc. for KM messages. This problem persists with Safari, Chrome and IE9 browsers. This thing works fine on IE7 and IE8 browesrs.
On clicking History and Options buttondoesn't perform any action i.e. we cannot see the list of options when clicking on those. This problem also persists with the above mentioned browsers.
Also, with IE9 , I am unable to create New message when clicking on New button. The XML form doesnt open on the button click.
The portal version I am using is EP 7.0.
Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Archana

Hello Archana,
You should check the PAM to see if your browser is supported with your current EP verison.

Editing a XML file with PHP and HTML or AS2

Hi webmates...
I have been looking for a good tutorial on managing an XML
file through Flash (AS2) or HTML and PHP... but all of what I have
found at the moment are very confusing and incomplete... the
examples actually do not work ok...
Would anyone mind on addressing me any good place where I can
find nice tutorials for this ? perhaps any example ? I wil really
appreciate it, My web is already reading the XML file to load
data... but I also need to create an application for editing this
XML... thanx in advance...

I have no experience with any decompilers beyond possibly attempting to trial one once. The only one I have seen recommended is made by Sothink.
Here is a link to a page with a tool that has an interface you can use to determine various properties of an swf file, including the Actionscript version.

Last night's update causing XML issues with MAC and MS Word

I am running Snow Leopard on a MAC. Last night Firefox installed an update, and the software I use for work no longer works with Firefox. I use a custom built web app that uses XML code to take web created info and compile into a Word document. Until this latest update, the issue had been when creating the Word doc, extra XML code was being written for images causing them to show as blank in the Word document. Now, the document is being created but not with a .doc extension. I had been in contact with Microsoft about the first problem with no resolution. They were able to duplicate the problem. The first problem only happens on a MAC and is not specific to operating system. This new problem is only happening with Firefox, not Safari, and started today after the last update.

HI,
If you post a crash report, perhaps we can help.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
You may have Safari third party plugins that were compatible with your previous version of Safari but not Safari 5.0.1. It's the responsibility of third party developers to update their software, not Apple.
Follow the instructions here. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If indeed you had third party add-ons installed and Safari still crashes, then post a crash report.

Inserting XML files with attribute and frontslash(/) in database

Hi,
I want to get and insert the data from XML file into database. Below is the XML file:
<bne:document xmlns:bne="http://www.oracle.com/bne" bne:apiVersion="1.0">
     <bne:workspace>
          <bne:layout id="242:AMW_PROC_UPLOAD">
               <header><line/>
               </header>
          </bne:layout>
     </bne:workspace>
     <bne:collection id="collection_1">
          <bne:data bne:id="data_1" bne:integrator="242:AMW_PROCESS_IMPORT_INTG" bne:layout="242:AMW_PROC_UPLOAD" bne:date_format="yyyy-MM-dd" bne:validation="full" bne:recreate="TRUE" bne:columns_mapped="FALSE" bne:nls_numeric_characters=".,">
               <header AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.HEADER_PARENT_PROCESS_ID="All Processes">
               <line bne:IDX="1"
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.PROCESS_DISPLAY_NAME="Process test 1" AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.SIGNIFICANT_PROCESS_FLAG="Yes"
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.REVISE_PROCESS_FLAG="N"
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.PROCESS_CATEGORY="Routine"
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.APPROVAL_STATUS="Approved"
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.STANDARD_PROCESS_FLAG="Yes"
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.PROCESS_OWNER_ID=""
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.FINANCE_OWNER_ID=""
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.APPLICATION_OWNER_ID=""
AMW_PROCESSES_INTERFACE.PARENT_PROCESS_NAME=""/>
               </header>
          </bne:data>
     </bne:collection>
</bne:document>
and the table structure is:
12:53:58 SQL> desc bne
Name Null? Type
HEADER_PARENT_PROCESS_ID VARCHAR2(80)
PROCESS_DISPLAY_NAME VARCHAR2(80)
SIGNIFICANT_PROCESS_FLAG VARCHAR2(3)
REVISE_PROCESS_FLAG VARCHAR2(1)
PROCESS_CATEGORY VARCHAR2(30)
APPROVAL_STATUS VARCHAR2(30)
STANDARD_PROCESS_FLAG VARCHAR2(3)
PROCESS_OWNER_ID VARCHAR2(80)
FINANCE_OWNER_ID VARCHAR2(80)
APPLICATION_OWNER_ID VARCHAR2(80)
PARENT_PROCESS_NAME VARCHAR2(80)
So I want specific attribute values to be inserted into this table. I know the way to insert the simple XML document into database by using DBMS_XMLSave methods, but in this case I need to extract specific attribute values. I have learned that in order to use XML SQL Utility to "auto-load" XML into relational tables, I have to transform this XML file into Oracle's "canonical XML format" perhaps by using XSLT, not sure.
Can someone please advise the correct way to accomplish above thing.
Thanks in Advance.

Great detective work. It's odd how that click-to-call extension creates such random issues...

Web gallery with feedback, and the viewer don´t sign in.

I´v noticed that if I´m making a web gallery in Lightroom 6 and not in the web module, but a collection that I´v synced, then I can share it on the web.
But if my client wants to comment or mark a photo then the client need to sign in to Adobe.
Can it be done without a sign in?
I would be so nice to have feedback on my shared web galleries without the other person have to sign in.

Create a spare Adobe account for yourself - eg [email protected] - and tell them to use it to login

Photo gallery with autoplay and stop

I'm in the process of creating a photogallery without thumbs and wants it to autoplay when I hit the autoplay button, that part I manage to do but then I also want to be able to click on the same button and make it stop and that I do not know how to do. Do I do that in Catalyst or do I have to do that in Flash Builder??
Anyone that knows how to do this or knows of any tutorials??

hello anna.78, I am a complete novice but have managed a similair slideshow to what your asking about.
This can be done by first creating a generic custom component on the first page of your project with a different state for each picture
Then set an action sequence "on application start" with "set state" actions (3) to change the pictures from 1 to 2 , 2 to 3, and 3 to 1.
Then save the project and close.
Open the .FXP file with win rar (or similiar) and go to src>main.mxml - open this file with a text editor
Then find the line "<s:Parallel id="Sequence1"> and change it to "<s:Parallel id="Sequence1" effectEnd="Sequence1.play()">"
Save this file and re-open the FXP in catalyst
Now, this component will loop contiously
Now, just continue your project as you would, and make a button to transistion to or from the page with that component on it
Then make a page for each image that matches the component states
For the "pause or stop" button, you could just make a "pause" button with the action "transition to pageXX when in component statexx"
(it would then just appear to stop, but really be showing the page that looks the same instead of the component state)
The only problem is there would be a lot of interactions if you have a lot of pictures.
I know my instructions are not great but that should get you going,
Proboly a better way to do this, I am hoping someone corrects me so I can learn as well?
hope this helps? (sorry for any mis-spellings-hehe)
