The backgrounds included are the ones you see in the preview. Backgrounds are images so you could simply alter the exisiting ones to a blue color in photoshop.

awesome work!

just a thought: Remember to check the name of your xml folder files. In this project damojo used it “xml” and if yours is different you have to change the folder name in the fla source file to yours…

Good job damojo!

Not so good. With more than 10 images it becomes very slow, sucking a lot of memory.

The decision to preload all images is really strange…

I cannot use this with my website, where I want to show 26 background images (1900 pixel width) in slideshow.

Sad to hear its not working for you…

I understand the preloading issue and was already working on releasing an updated version with high performance. I inform you when its live.

hi there.

what files will i have to change, if i want WHITE as the main background color? i can see where to change the hex#000000 to #ffffff. but when i change the background of the preview.fla to white nothing really changes: the main backgroundcolor stays black…

thanks, martin

Hi,

you need to edit the .fla and change the background color parameter there with the color picker.

yes, but how about “tilebg.png”, “tilebg2.png” and the layers like “maskb” and “fademask”?

i like this, can the tile overlay be turned off? can we see an example with pictures instead of graphic?

Hi,

the overlay cannot be turned of via xml but you can delete the movie clips from the library in the .fla. I don’t have an example with pictures right now. I can upload one.

Hello, Excellent file!!! It’s working beautifully.

I have one question, if instead of changing the background I only want to play only one picture what is the best way for me to make it effective.

The way I did it was by leaving the xml field “showtime” blank and deleting the other pics but I feel changing the flash file code itself so the swf stops looking for more pictures would make my file faster do I make sense?

thanks and great file once again!!

Hi, I want to put my own images in this and have this as a background for my flash website. Will I be able to put text and links over this background in flash?

Hi,

sure you will have to load this file into a lower layer than the rest of your site is.

Thankyou, I purchased it but am having trouble. I did my layers on top of it for my nave to fall and fade in but the background slideshow isnt working now. How do I create a short animation on top of the background?

damojo damojo replied

Hi,

make 2 layers in the timeline. Create an empty movie clip on both. Name the lower level mc instance “bgcontainer”. Now use loadMovie to load the background slideshow into that container. Put all your other stuff on the top layer.

Use this file all the time, but I do have a question. I am trying to set up an efficient way to have designated predetermined keyframes within the bg for each section (fades out on click, changes bg, fades back up) and I have it working if I match the instance name. But the instance name is never the same, so the question is, how do I “name” the instance name because it randomly shows up as instance2, instance105, etc.

Cheers, solid file.

the name is never the same because the backgrounds are generated dynamically. You will have to add the function for what you want to do in the spot where I add the backgrounds to the stage (this is where you have their instance name).

This file loads images sequentially:

Hey there, two questions: 1) How do I add text to each image? It’s mentioned on the description page, but not shown anywhere. Also is there a way to brighten the images? I didn’t realize they are dimmed so much. I’m using this internally (not over the web) so size/speed isn’t an issue.

Thanks in advance,

Jan

Hi,

1. Its not possible, where did you read this?

2. I think you figured this out by removing the tile overlay.
