XML slide show in Flash

I have created created a Slideshow of Images using XML and
Flash AS2.
I have code on a particular keyframe that loads the show once
the viewer reaches that keyframe.
My issue is:
Every frame after that particular keyframe the Slideshow
loads. Is the a way to hide/ remove this from the subsequent
keyframes?
Cheers-
Graeme

you want to remove the slide show from the stage? if so, use
removeMovieClip() to remove the target movieclips image_mc.
p.s. you should not use numbers to name (or start the name of
objects in flash).

Creating slide shows in flash

I am trying to teach myself to create slide shows in Flash. I have Flash CS4 Professional. I found a tutorial to do this for CS3, Action Script 2.0, here:
http://previews.learnflash.com/previews/flash/basicslideshow.html
It seems like a great tutorial. However, as I am following it, I can't make my slide show work as the tutorial demonstrates. Specificall, after creating the buttons as shown, my slide show will not stop at the next frame, but rapidly runs through all the slides.
I have worked with the tutorial for several days and can not get it to work for me. I get the below error messages when I follow the turorial.
This is what the tutorial says to do, and as best as I can tell, I am doing just that:
This is what part of my screen looks like:
I would greatly appreciate any pointers, perhaps to a more current tutorial.
Many thanks!
christian

The first image you show is probably the most telling, especially if the second image you show is taken from the tutorial and is not a screenshot of what you've done. Based on the error messages, you are using parentheses where you should be using curly braces.
next_btn.onRelease = function(){
nextFrame();
Also, just for the sake of it, check your Flash Publish Settings and make sure you have AS2 selected for the Actionscript version.

How to create a slide show using Flash and some pictures

I looked at many books but I can't find how I can make a slide show using flash. Can anyone give me some idea how I might go with this?

What you should do is search Google for things like "Flash slideshow tutorial" or if you know what version of actionscript you want to use, try using that in place of "Flash" in the search terms.

How do I create image pushing slide show in Flash?

Hi. I am wondering if anybody can tell me how to create a picture PUSH. I have three images that I wish to work with. By pushing I mean having an image come in from the left (or right) and place itself on top of the other (or pushing the other out of view). Like a slide show of three images scrolling along but one stops for a brief period before the other image comes into view.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

As Pat mentioned, this question might be best suited for the Flash Professional forum, I just happen to have the link handy
Thanks,
Chris

Slide show in Flash question

http://www.88barranch.com/home.html
There is a Flash slide show on this page, and I'd like to
make a similar one on my web site. I have Flash MX 2004, but am not
very good at it. I wondered if anyone could tell if the slide show
at
http://www.88barranch.com/home.html
was made in Flash by hand, or if there's a plugin or separate
program that made the show, which runs in Flash.
Thanks!

PS I also have Dreamweaver and the other programs that come
in Web Premium CS3, purchased just under a year ago.

Can I make a non-flash slide show using Flash, with JPEGs not GIFs?

Since Flash .swf is not supported in iOS. I wanted to make a simple photo slide show with high quality JPEGs. How can I do this?

Look to using jQuery instead of Flash. There are a variety of redy-made solutions available, just search Google or visit the Dreamweaver forum and ask there.

Newbie Slide Show Question - Flash 8

This is my first Flash slide show, and I am just lost. Here
it is:
https://michael-von-krenner.com/Slideshow/slideshow.fla
Obviously I am missing a few things to make this happen like
it
should, and I can't figure out what I've done wrong. Here are
my issues:
1. Why won't it automatically go from slide to slide? (There
are
nine and you can go from one to the other with the arrow keys
just fine.)
2. Why won't it go back to the first slide when it's done,
which is
what I specified using the Behavior panel?
3. These aren't that important for this slide show, but why
won't the
"Next" and "Previous" buttons stay on the screen?
If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Export slide show to flash drive?

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help you can give us. My wife and I are new to computers so this is probably a simple question with an obvious solution. She has composed a slide show set to music and we would like to download it to a flash drive for use in a digital photo frame. How do we export to the flash drive?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Use the File->Export->Slideshow menu route and select the size that best fits the digital frame's dimensions:
Click to view full size
Save the QT file to a folder on the Desktop, and copy the folder to the flash drive. Don't put the file directly on the flash drive as the format used prefers files in a folder and not the root directory. The same goes for photos. The flash drives limit the number of files in the root directory so it's best to put all photos and movies in a folder.

Slide show in Flash

Hi there,
I just created simple slideshow using Flash and it s working well, but i woudl like to put little tricky. Before it display next images, current it will
slowly disappear in to whithe color, and then show next image. I m not sure how to do it.
Ant hint?
Thanks

You can also look into using actionscript tweens for fading things in and out. Flash has a built-in Tween class and there are third party tweening engines such as TweenLite as well.
Since you mention wanting to fade to white, if your background for the images is not currently white, then instead of fading the images, you could have a whilte movieclip covering the images that you fade in and out instead of the images.

Flash 8 Slide Show

Can anyone help me? I have been beating my head against a
wall for two days trying to do a simple slide presentation. The
tutorial is sooooooooooooooo vague and the example gives steps to
doing something I am not in the least interested in doing right
now. I think this is the most frustrating software I have ever
used, but I won't give up!!!! Is there anyone out there that could
spend some time with me and help me do some simple things, like a
slide show that fades in and out, can anyone explane it to me in
simple terms. I am new at this but have used "Front Page" for
alomost two years. I want to upgrade and get proficient at Flash
and Dreamweaver. So far the help menues have been absolutely
discouraging and of no help at all.
Thank you for any help you can give me,
Need it to be simple.

Very few things worth doing in life are completely simple and
easy. You would be amazed at how many folks come to Flash and
expect to be able to do some incredibly complex and fully developed
application within a few tutorials. Really not going to happen!
Almost nothing in creating a Flash XML Slide Show is all that
difficult – if you approach it one small problem at a time.
But if you try and make the whole thing in one pass it certainly
will be daunting.
I don't know what tutorial you are using so it is difficult
to advise on that front. But often the "something I am not in the
least interested in doing right now" part either means you are
doing the wrong tutorial or you are far to impatient and should
slow down your expectations a bit. Maybe.
For the OP, are you trying to make a timeline based slideshow
where the images are all imported to the stage and then revealed
with some animations or perhaps even with a click of a forward/back
button? Or are you trying to make an actionscript based type of
interactive extensible slide show. Your answer will very much
affect how we could possibly help here.
For jim boles. Same thing. None of a Flash XML slide show is
all that hard – but it is really difficult to remember that
you were out to drain the swamp when you are up to your (ahemmmm)
in alligators! The forum shows this is your first post. So first,
something like that would likely get more help in the Actionscript
forum. Then additionally I would think you should have a history of
"How do I use the MovieClipLoader to load external Images" and "How
do create a nice XML transfer" and "onEnterFrame vs. setInterval:
what is your favorite way to fade a clip?" You should tackle each
of these little problems before you try and combine them all
together.
There is a reason that a lot of folks charge for such things.
It is an investment in time, learning, and development to make such
a thing.

Flash Website "Slide-Show" like Navigation

Hey guys,
I am designing a website and for the first time I will be trying to implement Flash as a means for navigating the website. I have worked with flash before, but only for animation.
I am trying to make a 'Slide-Show' like flash object that flips through slides at a predetermined speed and when a slide is clicked on it takes you to a new page. Similar to the big flash object in the middle of this page: http://www.foursquare.org/
Can someone point me to a turorial or point me in the right direction for this, I tried googling it, but i dont know the proper terms for this. Thanks!
-Christian

As far as I can tell, there is no Flash content on that page--most likely some jQuery design. So you could consider pursuing whatever approach they used for that. Though you could do whatever section you think is Flash as a Flash design. To get links to other pages you need to use actionscript, which means you need to decide which version you plan to use (AS2 or AS3). What you could do is create your slideshow images as movieclips and assign linking code to each one.

Multiple slide show problems

OK. Im really stuck here.
I have made a slide show in Flash 8 using actionscript 2. Ive
managed to succeed to a point. But I will tell you prblems and
hopefully they can be solved here as Ive found no where on web that
can.
Problem1: I have a slide show with 5 slides all in the parent
of 'presentation'. I have input actionscipt code to allow the
current slide to go to the next slide at the end of the timeline. I
then linked the last slide with the first slide. Why oh why does
this freeze on it 2nd loop through the slides on the 3rd slide. I
just dont get it!! It plays once then freezes on the 3rd
slide?!?!?!?!?
Problem2: I have put this actionscipt code against a button,
why doesnt it work when it does for other people?
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.mysite","_self");
If anyone can help please do.

lol use a valid url...good one...not that much of a noob.
OK so here is code:
The link code goes as follows: (these links dont work! Why?),
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.mysite","_self");
The next slide code goes as follows:
stop();
function goNext(){
currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
clearInterval(timer);
var timer = setInterval(goNext, 500);
The go to first slide goes as follows:
stop();
function goNext(){
_root.presentation.gotoSlide(_root.presentation.slide1);
clearInterval(timer);
var timer = setInterval(goNext, 500);
As I say it all works until 2nd loop and then stops on 3rd
slide....?

Is there a way to to have a flash based web gallery slide show created in Photoshop CS 3. I have looked in the preferences and so on and can't find anything in PS help files.

Sure,
Hit File > Automate > Web Photo Gallery. After that just follow the basic wizard and let it run. It will create all the .xml files and thumbnails for you.
