Ken Burn's Effect - Ultimate Gallery

How do I edit the way that files are pulled in via XML ?

to edit the way the image is pulled try these edits:

on frame 2 of the burns gallery movie clip,

line 307

change it from:

image_mcl.loadClip(“images/”folder”/”galleryNode.childNodes[galleryID].childNodes[burns_num].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue”.jpg”,myTar);

to:

image_mcl.loadClip(galleryNode.childNodes[galleryID].childNodes[burns_num].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue,myTar);

then, whatever you put in the image node will be the path of your image. for instance:

<image>autumn</image>

would be

<image>images/autumn.jpg</image>

AND

on line 122 in the menu MC there is a line in the buildthumbs function that looks like this:

loadThumb(“images/”_parent.galleryNode.childNodes[_parent.galleryID].attributes.galleryFolder”/”_parent.galleryNode.childNodes[_parent.galleryID].childNodes[i].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue”.jpg”,thumbClip.holder);

change it to:

loadThumb(_parent.galleryNode.childNodes[_parent.galleryID].childNodes[i].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue,thumbClip.holder);

How do I turn off the menus?

to shut off the galleries

in the menu MC – frame 1 – lines 351-353

ZigoEngine.doTween(thumb_holder,"_y",thumbIn,.5,"easeOutQuad");
ZigoEngine.doTween(menu_holder,"_x",galleryIn,.5,"easeOutQuad");
ZigoEngine.doTween(info_holder,"_x",infoIn,.5,"easeOutQuad");

just comment any one of these out to not reveal it on mouseOver thumb_holder is the bottom group. menu_holder is the left group info_holder is the right group.

How do I permanently show the thumbnails?

In the “menu” MovieClip make the following revisions:

1. Comment out lines:

Line 43: //this.menu_holder._alpha = this.thumb_holder._alpha=this.info_holder._alpha=0; Line 302: //closeThumbs(); Line 314: //closeThumbs(); Line 351: //ZigoEngine.doTween(thumb_holder,”_y”,thumbIn,.5,”easeOutQuad”); Line 359: //ZigoEngine.doTween(thumb_holder,”_y”,thumbOut,.5,”easeInQuad”,.25); Line 389: //menu_scope.closeThumbs();

2. Add the following at the end of the code (approx line 424): openThumbs();

3. Make the following edits to existing line: Line 330: ZigoEngine.doTween(thumb_holder.thumb_tab,”_x”,this._parent.gallery_w-48,1,”easeInOutQuad”,.75); (change 60 to 48)
