Hi,

for some reasons I cannot send you emails. Gmx tells me its undeliverable…

The fix: Copy the dynamic text field from the caption to the main stage as well and check “B” (bold)

:)

Hi,

its the “offset” parameter in the XML which lets you control the vertical position of the caption.

Hi, purchased the file but having an issue with swf’s. I am trying to put in swf’s and jpg’s in the slide show but for some reason the swf’s do not play from the beginning. Is there some way to program them to start when they come up in the xml playlist? or am I missing programing something into the actual swf files.

Have been combating this issue for a while… your help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers~

Ho,

Can you advise me on how to make the links on the slideshow open in the same window – currently they open a new window and it’s not really suitable for our project.

Thanks, Simon

Hi,

sorry this slideshow is not meant for fade in transitions, just horizontal or vertical sliding.

Need a fix to this issue

The slide show works great !

however it is positioned under a dropdown menu and IE of course does not handle this well.

I was wondering how I can change the wmode parameters or z index parameters. var flashvars = { xml_path: “xml/slideshow.xml”, css_path: “xml/styles.css” }; var params = {}; var attributes = {}; swfobject.embedSWF(“live_externalxml.swf”, “gal”, “100%”, “100%”, “9.0.0”, “expressInstall.swf”, flashvars, params, attributes);

can I fix this within the jscript or in external css or xml file?

Please could use your help

Thanks

Hi,

you need to set wmode: “transparent” under params.
var params = {
 wmode: "transparent" 
};

thanks for the quick response

but this wont work as i am using a template that loads different swfs into a container clip and has also a fluid layout

the slideshow will have to have the actionscipt code. something is in the main template that is confllictting/stopping slideshow being centered.

here is the code for the template main file

//Function used to load external SWF Background files and call the loaderBackground MC --------- function loadBackgroundClip (externalTarget:String, targetRoot:MovieClip) { } //----------------

var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
var listenerLoad:Object = new Object ();
listenerLoad.onLoadStart = function (target:MovieClip) {
    loaderBackground._width = 0;
    loaderBackground._visible = true;
    bkg_container._alpha = 0
};
//Loading Progress
listenerLoad.onLoadProgress = function (target:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void  {
    sizeBar = Math.round (bytesLoaded / bytesTotal * Stage.width);
    loaderBackground._width = sizeBar
};
//On Load Complete
listenerLoad.onLoadComplete = function (target:MovieClip):Void  {
    loaderBackground._visible = false;
    bkg_container._alpha = 0
    ZigoEngine.doTween (bkg_container,'_alpha',100,1,"easeOutExpo");
};
mcLoader.addListener (listenerLoad);
mcLoader.loadClip (externalTarget,targetRoot);

your help is greatly appreciated

thanking you in advance

Hi,

try this maybe:

listenerLoad.onLoadComplete = function (target:MovieClip):Void  {
    loaderBackground._visible = false;
    bkg_container._alpha = 0
    ZigoEngine.doTween (bkg_container,'_alpha',100,1,"easeOutExpo");
    bkg_container._x=(Stage.width/2)-(yourslideshowwidth/2);
    bkg_container._y=(Stage.height/2)-(yourslideshowheight/2);
};

Other than that, maybe there is a position function that controls positioning of elements?

Hi,

I simply added 2 lines to the template code you send. Note that you need to enter the slideshow width and height in the 2 placeholders I created.

Hi Dajomo,

right that option you said didnt work. how ever, i made a simple file with a box in it and used this code:

stop(); // Stage.align = “TL”; Stage.scaleMode = “noScale”; // var stageL:Object = new Object(); stageL.onResize = function() { imageholder_mc._x = (Stage.width – imageholder_mc._width) / 2; imageholder_mc._y = (Stage.height – imageholder_mc._height) / 2;; }; Stage.addListener(stageL); stageL.onResize();

where imageholder_mc was the box. this worked fine. I was thinking if we applied this code to your slideshow from within itself it might work. how would i be able to apply this code to your slideshow?

thanking you in advance

Thanks for this great file. Is it possible to load the xml file from an external server? For example. the swf is located on an client server and the xml and images is located on my server. It makes it easier to update this…

Hi,

yes its possible but you will have to setup cross domain access. See here for further help: http://www.flashperfection.com/tutorials/Flash-Cross-Domain-Access-85118.html

Hi, I’m trying to embed the file in my AS3 template, but the images are not loading. Do you have an AS3 version of this yet or is there a fix I can do to the AS2 code to get this working?

many thanks, Darren

Hi,

did you try loading the slideshow into an as3 stage or did you simply drag and drop it?

You will have to dynamically load it. Also make sure that this._lockroot = true; is set in the slideshow in the beginning.

Hi Damojo, I would like to use the slideshow with transparent pngs, so that I can use my own background. I’m running into some minor problems. Should be easy to fix. Could you help me? I already asked via contact form but didn’t get a reply.

Hi Damojo, thanks for your quick reply! I have two problems when I’m using transparent pngs in the slideshow. The first thing is the appearance of a white background which is maybe the clickable area for URL -Links. I don’t need to link to URLs so I hoped to be able to delete that part of the code. The second thing has to do with the active slide. Would it be possible to make the active slide disappear BEFORE the next one comes in? Nothing fancy, _alpha=0 or _visible=false in the right place of the code would do! If you could tell me where this both things happen in the code, I should be able to fix it by myself.

By the way I sometimes need support for flash projects by a freelancer. Would be good to have your email for this reason.

Cheers Olli

Hi,

in order to make the background invisible, reduce the alpha of the shape in the area movieclip in frame 2 of the sourcecode.

Making the active slide disappear before the next one will result in one really ugly transition and I would highly advise against it. I would also have to do this as a mod on a freelance basis.
