XML Image Rotator

Can i give the menu.. with text.. thank you.

how to add a link to the images or text?

how to add a lik to the images ?

Hi nfilatov!
If you want to change fonts on flash file (banner.fla): just double click in Library on Vfont symbol, change font in the Font Symbol Properties, after save and closed. If you want to change the pictures, easy, but look in the images.xml file image path, and images filenames, so important:

<image path="images/image4.jpg" title="The Fourth Title" >
<description>The Fourth Description</description>
</image>.

That will fill the bill...:)hope!

Ive spent the last 4 Hours trying to implement this. I want to put it on home page with xml and images in a seperate folder ons erver. When i load page no images or text come up. only a black empty and lonely flash play pops up. Please help!

ororo: sorry for not getting back, been away for a while. you can use this for anything you like. hope you enjoy it.

daniel: honestly, i made this so long ago, i can't remember. the banner should resize with the object embed options in html if the settings in the xml file are giving you trouble.

thanks for all the comments.

hei, nice job congratulations,

but i have a question, how can i change the size of banner?
in xml archive no are possible!

tk's!

Hi tristan

I can't e-mail you and I can't find your website so I hope you read this. I have a question about the license. The following case:

I build a website for a friend of mine. He wants a image rotator. Your rotator looks awsome so I like to use it. Is it ok with you?

Greetings

Thanks for sharing.

Sooo... I found the fix to the Lightbox showing up underneath any flash that is on the screen....

Find the flash object that is the problem and add:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

to the tag for the flash.
And in the embed line for the flash, add: wmode="transparent"

Once you have done that... This slideshow app is unstoppable! Thanks Tristan!

Sooo... It's working ALMOST flawlessly... I put it on a webpage the has object lower down the page that use lightbox flyouts. When the flyouts are supposed to come out front of everything else, I am finding that it slides behind this slideshow.

Anyone know how to fix that?
Z-index of the lower items are at 100 and this app is a 2.
Thanks

Tristan: it is a very great job! Can you add a new feature that controls the link to the pictures by XML?

fusioncruiser: I am happy to able to help!

Retroshop, you da man! (unless you're a chick, then you da bomb!) ;)
I changed it in the fla and republished it and the problem was gone! Thanks!!

Tristan, great job on your coding! Clean and to the point. Not a lot of wasted junk in there. Good stuff!

I had the same problem as fusioncruiser has. Need to resize the flash size in the FLA also to work fine. Instead of this it is a great work!

Very nicely done!
The only problem I have is when I use images that are different size than your originals, I can't get the window to shrink to the new size. The size settins in the xml don't appear to be used. I might be mistaken.

Thanks for this though!

I set 950x223 pixel size with 950x223 photos and all of them are not on the right place, they are half right and up. What is the problem? [email protected]

Hi Tristan. I adapted your image rotator for a class project (with full credit to you). You saved me from pulling out what little hair I have left.

Thanks.

Hi Tristan. Cool Flash! Is there a way to put a link on each image in the xml? Thanks

atakebay: i used embedded fonts so if you want it in another language, ..you'll have to recompile it using device fonts instead. it will also make the program smaller and load faster.


digijoe: sounds like a cool project. the only advice i can offer is when your making the transition between images like that, try using 'this.onEnterFrame' when reassigning alpha values to the clip the image is in rather than using a tweening function, increase your frame rate to 25-30 and use 'delete this.onEnterFrame' for a much smoother effect.

Example:

p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
trace("load");
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
}
}
delete this.onEnterFrame
};

good luck.

- thanks for all the comments

HI Man! This is great!
One request though... I'm stuck with a gallery, well... it's not a gallery... what I want to do Is to load full image backgrounds (autorezisable) in my web, and load a different image per link or button, and load the images fading on top of each other smoothly, like your gallery... Do you know how to break this down? I'm on AS2.0!

f*in art! Thanks!

Nice !

Really cool!!

looks nice! but is it possible to include multi languages?
i wrote something in japanese and the text didn't show...
encoding is set as unicode by the way.
do you have any idea?

simply sylish I love it

Cool!

Very elegant

Very nice!!! :)

yeh, nice!

tristan.paige,
I love this gallery...

cool ++

For everyone who enjoyed my earlier stuff, thanks for all the great comments. While reading through them I was very flattered. I'm thinking of getting back into developing again, so hopefully you'll see some new projects up soon.
Ciao.

good job
